What could go wrong? E! gathering reality TV's biggest villains for competition show.

by Thinus Ferreira

Oh my Omarosa! While the narcissists and manipulators usually take an episode or two to make their toxic personalities bubble to the surface in reality shows, E! (DStv 124) is taking the guesswork out of the watch-from-home psych test and is gathering 10 of American reality TV's biggest villains under one roof for a new show.

Joel McHale will be the host of a new E! reality show, House of Villains, which the channel says "will bring 10 of reality television's most iconic and infamous villains under one roof". 

Already proven to be evildoers who love to stoke and fan the flames as they scheme and plot and hype up others to help do their evil bidding as they sit back and watch, or are ready with biting one-liners in toxic fights, the 10 will have to "outsmart, out-manipulate and out-scheme each other through a series of challenges in order to win a cash prize," E! says.

The winner villain will get the title of "America's Ultimate Supervillain". House of Villains will be produced by Irwin Entertainment with executive producers John Irwin, Dave Kuba, Eli Frankel and Matt Odgers. 

While the 10 names have not been announced yet, what would House of Villains be without Omarosa Manigault Newman who became famous in The Apprentice on E!'s sister channel NBC all belonging to the NBCUniversal family! 

Besides House of Villains, E! and Bravo shows seen on E! across Africa which all got renewed for further seasons include Botched with Dr Terry Dubrow and Dr Paul Nassif, Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Married to Medicine, Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean, and Below Deck Down Under.
