After the finale resulted in a tie between The Challenge three-timewinner Wes and Love & Hip Hop star Safaree, zero-vote finalist and Big Brother vet Jessie Godderz bought to forged the tiebreaker vote.

Safaree reveals unseen House of Villains finale meltdown: 'I just erupted'
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I couldn’t have predicted the way in which this finale ends. My jaw was on the ground.
WES BERGMANN: I’ve been coping with jealous haters, it's been this manner for 20 years. And so I’m so used to it that I assumed I used to be going to get riled up once I re-watched what occurred, and I didn't. It doesn’t matter what, I'm going to run up in opposition to individuals like Jessie who’ve by no means gained something and need to be on The Problem — they're tagging The Problem left and proper on Twitter. He would get mutilated on The Problem, by the way in which. However because the individuals's champion, I settle for y'all's award and I respect the assist.
Do you assume Safaree deserved to win?
Very a lot so. Okay, let's begin with, everybody paying consideration is aware of I gained. The producers informed me I gained. Everybody understands that I gained. That stated, there's a side of Safaree's recreation that was not showcased accurately. I imagine he performed simply one of many biggest social video games I'd ever seen on any recreation ever. And it wasn't gameplay. He's simply that likable. He would do very nicely in Huge Brother. He would do very nicely on The Problem. He would do very nicely on Survivor — he is perhaps somewhat bougie for a few of these issues, but when he might recover from these issues, then he would do nicely. So do I believe I gained? Sure, I do. But when there was ever a great comfort prize on this complete state of affairs, it's that he gained. And I additionally would've voted for him for all of the the explanation why he bought these 4 votes. 5, in case you depend Jessie. He's only a very, very, very likable man. Annoyingly so.
That's nice for him. Dangerous for you, on this case.
It's okay. I referred to as him yesterday and congratulated him. I hope he's in my life for a really very long time. What's loopy about this complete factor is nobody is wealthy sufficient, actually ever, to the place you don't really feel a $200,000 direct deposit. I don't need to sit right here and say that I wouldn't have appreciated a $200,000 direct deposit. I at all times will. If I turn out to be a billionaire, I’ll like a $200,000 direct deposit. Like 15 years in the past, I by chance tried to tip any person a greenback and by chance tipped them $100. And I, to this present day, lose sleep over it. So I'm clearly mad about not having $200,000, however him and I, we've made it. We've been on TV eternally. Now we have all these different revenue streams. As nice as cash is, we’re there for various causes, which is what permits us to steal the present. That's what my job was, to go in there and steal the present. And I really feel like I placed on my financial institution robber's outfit, and I did precisely that.

Kandy Muse reveals unseen gameplay that resulted in betrayal on House of Villains
One of many moments you stole the present was introducing your faux immunity idol. Half of the forged thought that was dishonest, the opposite half thought it was good gameplay. Even Richard was making an attempt to defend it nearly as good gameplay. What did you consider that total argument?
We are able to sit right here and we will poke holes in all of it we wish, but when I didn't use it, I’d've been on the jury. That's about as binary because it will get. Kandy had recognized me because the No. 1 risk to win the sport. It was a terrific evaluation, however then I fully tricked her. It completely labored. If I didn't play it, I’d've been gone. In 10 years, when individuals look again on this factor, they're not going to recollect hardly something apart from this. I make choices which can be dangerous for my "gameplay," however are memorable and make me well-known and legendary. And it's why my cellphone doesn’t cease getting calls from exhibits throughout each fricking channel conceivable, as a result of I put the leisure worth of the viewers because the No. 1 precedence.
Now we have now seen each you and Johnny Bananas play the higher, extra villainous recreation solely to lose in a tiebreaker vote to somebody who was a "good" particular person. Why do you assume a present referred to as Home of Villains hasn’t really awarded essentially the most villainous participant ultimately each occasions?
Yeah, I do see the comparisons. I imply, it’s loopy the way you have a look at Banana's state of affairs, and also you're like, "There's no method that I might tie that," as a result of it was such a bizarre state of affairs with the tie after which the third place that's bitter and mad at him. How might it ever be recreated? After which it will get recreated right down to a dime. I’d say the Tanisha and Safaree state of affairs have been very completely different. I'm certain Tanisha was very humorous and really likable, however she finally gained as a result of they have been making a call on how she would do superb and necessary issues with the cash. They weren’t saying that with Safaree. Safaree is likely one of the few people who I've met that rivals me from a financial standpoint. He's bought extra f—ing supercars than I do. There's no modest method of claiming the $200,000 will not be actually going to maneuver the needle [for him or me]. They didn’t give him that cash as a result of he deserved it, they gave him the cash as a result of they appreciated him and he didn't beat them.
I did speak to the producers and they’re having identification crises. If there's going to be a season 3, they will be reevaluating how the winner is finally topped, as a result of now there's two seasons in a row the place you're incentivized to not play the sport, to not be a villain, to not be humorous, to not play pranks, that type of factor. At which level, what's the purpose of the present? As a result of we wish that. So if there may be one other season, it's not going to be determined the way in which that it has the primary two occasions. It's confirmed to be a damaged system.

Richard Hatch slams 'messy' House of Villains costars who are 'disconnected from reality'
Fascinating. That's most likely a sensible concept as a result of if the largest villain can't win Home of Villains, there's positively a flaw within the recreation someplace.
Once I'm informed to go be the largest villain, and that's what my job was, I'm going to go try this. In the event that they wished me to be the hero and all this type of stuff, I can do no matter I need to do. I have a look at the foundations, I have a look at the gamers, and I simply chameleon into no matter it’s. And whereas prioritizing the shtick of the season, [which] was to be an over-the-top satirical actuality tv present villain, I felt like I did all of that.
Inform me concerning the second the place Jessie informed you to get in your knees and beg for the win. Do you know he was going to return on his deal?
Did I do know he was going to return on the deal about bringing me to the finals? No, I didn’t. I imply, I had an concept main as much as it. We have been speaking and he was being every kind of bizarre, and I type of knew roughly what I used to be getting myself into. However then when he made me beg, I've bought at hand it to him, he used what he might, and threw a Hail Mary to get some lasting consideration, and it labored. He bought underneath the pores and skin of a person who's very laborious to get underneath the pores and skin of. And as somebody who’s dramatically 30- 40 occasions extra well-known and 5,000 occasions extra rich, and that's sadly not an exaggeration, he was in a position to get one over on somebody like that. So I congratulate him for that.
That stated, Home of Villains is a knockoff Huge Brother. It's the identical actual recreation. I walked into his recreation and I tied for first place, basically turned the individuals's champion, and he bought zero votes within the course of. So he's simply delusional. In that second, clearly I knew there was a one % likelihood, however then my different plan B was sadly violence. I used to be like, "What do I do? Do I begin beating the s— out of him or do I get on my knees and beg and at the very least attempt to make it humorous?" And I believe I selected proper, as a result of he would've sued me for far more than the $200,000. As satisfying as it could've been, I simply am not in a position to assault individuals. I'm too, sadly, mature for that one… As soon as each three years I debate, "Ought to I assault that particular person?" And this was my one. And so for an additional two or three years, I gained't get mad sufficient to debate assaulting somebody.
The second the place you stated, "The Problem has been on for 30 years," and also you "handed the bar in 15 states" however you’re not a lawyer, it was giving giving the identical power of, "I’ve a BMW, a Porsche, a home, a monster truck, and 30 corporations." Was that an intentional callback?
[Laughs] It's a satire. It's a comedy. You're presupposed to say ridiculous issues. And the actual fact is, they didn't even giggle at that. They believed me. A very good lawyer passes the bar in one state. And so how might nobody name me on that? I'm in search of issues that I say and do to explode in my face, and it simply doesn't. Now, the "BMW, Porsche, monster truck, and 30 corporations," that’s true. I personal now a part of over 300 corporations. I'm selecting up my new brand-new supercar right here in a day or two as my comfort prize for dropping Home of Villains. So all that was true. The 15 states bar passing, not true, full lie. The IQ take a look at, Mensa stuff, lie. That’s so ridiculous. It's meant to only be humorous.
If anybody ever appears to be like at me and says, "Oh, man, he takes himself too critically," they’re the butt of the joke, not me. I'm trolling. "That is essentially the most unserious man pretending to be critical." That’s the easiest way to explain my humorousness on these items. And I'm extra unserious and extra of a troll than most likely anybody that you simply've ever met.
