Peacock Announces the Season 3 Cast of ‘House of Villains’
Hosted once again by Joel McHale, the third installment of the villain-packed series is set to begin production this week. The third season premiere of “House of Villains” is expected to drop in early 2026.
Confirmed cast members include Tiffany “New York” Pollard from “Flavor of Love,” “I Love New York,” and “Celebrity Big Brother UK.” This will be her third season on “House of Villains.”
Joining Pollard is “Vanderpump Rules” and “The Traitors” star Tom Sandoval, Paul Abrahamian from “Big Brother,” Christine Quinn from “Selling Sunset,” and Kate Chastaine from “Below Deck” and “The Traitors.” Plane Jane from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and Drita D’Avanzo from “Mob Wives” are also in the cast, along with Jackie Christie from “Basketball Wives.”
Rounding out the competitors is Johnny Middlebrooks from “Love Island USA,” “All Star Shore,” and “The Challenge,” Tyson Apostol from “Survivor” and “The Challenge”, and Ashley Mitchell from “The Challenge.”
Who is Ashley “Millionaire” Mitchell?
Mitchell is a popular but controversial star of “The Challenge” who made her reality TV debut on MTV’s “Real World: Ex-Plosion.” She has won “The Challenge” twice, first in “Invasion of the Champions” and then in “Final Reckoning.” She was a finalist for “War of the Worlds 2.”
The 37-year-old holds the record for the most money won on “The Challenge” by a female contestant, with lifetime earnings of $1,121,250. She also holds the record for the most money won in a single season, which was $1 million.
She got her “Millionaire” nickname because she was the first contestant on the series to pass the million-dollar mark in earnings. Later, Johnny Bananas, CT Tumberello, and Jordan Wiseley joined her in “The Challenge” millionaire club.
Ashley Mitchell Made 1 of the Most Controversial Moves in ‘Challenge’ History
Mitchell made “Challenge” historyâand sparked major controversyâwhen she stole the entire $1 million prize from her partner, Hunter Barfield, during the finale of “The Challenge: Final Reckoning.”
The format for the seasonâs final twist gave the winning team members a choice: each could either split the prize money equally or one could choose to âstealâ it, taking the full amount for themselves. After the grueling final, Ashley and Hunter were crowned the winners. But when host TJ Lavin revealed the twist, Mitchell chose to keep all $1 million for herself, citing how poorly Barfield had treated her throughout the season.
The shocking decision left both the cast and fans stunned. Barfield was visibly furious, while Mitchell defended her choice by saying she didnât owe him anything after enduring weeks of verbal abuse from him on and off camera.
The new ‘House of Villains’ cast member got kicked out of ‘The Challenge’
Mitchell has competed on “The Challenge” multiple times. In addition to her winning and finalist seasons, she also appeared in “Rivals III,” “Champs vs. Pros,” “Dirty 30,” “Champs vs. Stars 1&2”, “War of the Worlds,” “Total Madness”, “Double Agents,” “Spies, Lies, and Allies,” and “All Stars: Rivals.”
Fans will recall that she was kicked off of “Spies, Lies, and Allies” without explanation. TJ Lavin simply said she had “broken one of our rules,” but no other details were revealed. Mitchell later told Entertainment Weekly that her exit was simply due to an argument with another cast member..
“I don’t think there’s really much more to say besides [there was] an argument. A lot of the rumors are exaggerated, which is what happens when the footage is not there â which it just wasn’t there because there were no cameras. But it really was just an argument that got out of hand.”
“House of Villains” season 3 is expected to drop on Peacock in early 2026.
