Meet House Of Villains Most Infamous Guest
Anfisa Arkhipchenko, a certified personal trainer known for her fitness and workout programs, made her mark as a Villainess on 90-Day Fiancé. Anfisa was in a relationship with Jorge Nava, who was from California. She told him she was with him for his money. They often fought but later married in 2017. Their relationship was one of the most infamous in the 90-Day Fiancé franchise. She was disliked by viewers and called a gold digger for wanting to be with a rich man.
One of the most infamous antagonists is Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio, known for manipulating and backstabbing his fellow competitors. Devenanzio has earned the title of a reality TV Villain through his cunning gameplay and strategic maneuvers on MTV's The Challenge. He shocked viewers when he opted to keep the entire $275,000 cash prize for himself instead of sharing it with his partner, Sarah Rice.
Shake Chatterjee has become a notablely despised figure from his time on the reality show Love Is Blind, primarily due to his controversial behavior towards his former fiancée Deepti Vempati, and women in general. Shake's conduct ranged from making inappropriate remarks towards his now ex-fiancée Deepti Vempati to other female contestants when he asked them their sizes. His actions have placed him squarely on the villainous spectrum in the eyes of fans, and Love Is Blind contestants alike.
Next up in this House Of Villains is the ruthless Jonny Fairplay, or Jon P. Dalton, a former Survivor contestant known for his cutthroat gameplay. Fairplay's infamy skyrocketed due to his audacious "Dead Grandma" deception, where he lied about his grandmother's death to gain an advantage in a reward challenge. From fellow contestants disliking him because of his "hissy fits and two-faced behavior" to taking advantage of Lill Morris' trust, he may end up House Of Villain's most dangerous and divisive villain.
Bobby Lytes is one of Love & Hip Hop: Miami's original eight cast members. He has been in disputes with several fellow castmates, including notable clashes with Amara, Liz, and Jojo.

Corinne Olympios was in season 21 of The Bachelor. She was the first contestant to kiss Nick Viall on the first night and "stole" him from another contestant.

With her extensive experience and unyielding competitiveness, Omarosa unquestionably is the most knowledgeable and ruthlessly competitive contestant in the House of Villains.
If there is a playbook on how to antagonize fellow contestants to the point of getting spit on, then this next villain wrote it. Tiffany “New York” Pollard starred on VH1's Flavor of Love, a reality dating show with a similar format to The Bachelor. Tiffany gained recognition for relentlessly streaming insults at her cast members, which eventually led to her being spat on by Brooke "Pumpkin" Thompson.
A total of twenty women competed for Flav's affection, leading to the ultimate showdown between Tiffany "New York" Pollard and Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander, another contestant with whom Tiffany frequently clashed. Ultimately, Flavor Flav chose "Hoopz" as his mate over New York. She would go on to star in, 'I Love New York' which ran for one season.

Her popularity led to her becoming the host of the Bad Girls Club reunions in subsequent seasons. Tanisha's explosive clash with Jennavecia, stemming from the discovery that hot sauce had been added to her juice, culminated in a physical brawl, further cementing her reputation as a reality TV standout. Given her flair for dramatic confrontations and her enduring appeal, Tanisha Thomas would be a perfect fit for E's new House of Villains.
