The Challenge alum shares his thoughts on the shocking finale, a controversial tiebreaker, and changes planned for Season 3.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for the House of Villains Season 2 finale, “Sad Excuse for a Villain.”
Wes Bergmann may not have officially won Season 2 of House of Villains, but he still claims victory in his own way. Reflecting on the dramatic finale, Wes revealed he even considered getting physical with fellow contestant Jessie Godderz during filming. Here’s what went down.
A Shocking Tiebreaker
The finale saw a tie between Wes, a three-time Challenge champion, and Safaree from Love & Hip Hop. Jessie Godderz, a former Big Brother contestant and the only finalist with no votes, was tasked with casting the deciding vote. In a move steeped in rivalry, Jessie gave Wes an ultimatum: get on his knees and beg for the win. Wes complied, but Jessie still voted for Safaree, securing his victory.
“I might not have formally won, and I might not be getting a $200,000 direct deposit, but I’m the people’s champion,” Wes told Entertainment Weekly. “90% of viewers know I won, and that’s what matters.”
Lasting Impact on the Game
Wes’s strategic gameplay left an impression beyond just this season. Producers told him they’re changing the rules for Season 3, eliminating immunity cards due to the chaos caused by his infamous fake idol. “People will question immunity cards on every show for the next three or four years,” Wes said, proud of his disruptive tactics.
Wes on Jessie’s Ultimatum
When Jessie forced Wes to beg for the win, Wes had to make a quick decision. “I thought about violence,” he admitted. “But I’m too mature now. As satisfying as it would have been, he would have sued me for more than $200,000.” Instead, Wes played along, choosing humor over aggression.
Despite their rivalry, Wes had harsh words for Jessie’s performance. “House of Villains is like Big Brother, and I walked into his game and tied for first. He got zero votes. He’s delusional.”
The Case for Safaree
While Wes firmly believes he deserved to win, he had praise for Safaree’s social game. “He’s just that likable. He’d do well on Big Brother, Survivor, or even The Challenge.” Wes conceded that Safaree earned his victory in a way that resonated with voters.
However, he criticized the show’s format for incentivizing contestants to avoid being true villains. “If the biggest villain can’t win House of Villains, what’s the point?” Wes revealed producers are rethinking how winners are chosen to better align with the show’s premise.
Memorable Moves and Trolling the Audience
One of the most controversial moments of the season was Wes’s use of a fake immunity idol. “If I hadn’t used it, I’d have been eliminated. It worked perfectly,” he explained. He’s unapologetic about prioritizing entertainment over conventional gameplay. “I make decisions that are risky but memorable. That’s why my phone keeps ringing with offers from shows across every channel.”
Wes also leaned into his satirical persona, delivering outrageous lines like claiming to have passed the bar in 15 states. “It’s comedy. I say ridiculous things, and the best part is people believe me. If someone thinks I’m taking myself too seriously, they’re the joke, not me.”
Looking Ahead
Despite the disappointment, Wes remains focused on his broader goals. “As much as $200,000 would have been nice, I’m here to steal the show, and I think I did just that.” With plans for Season 3 already underway, he’s optimistic about the future of the franchise — and perhaps his own return.
For now, Wes continues to embrace his role as a villain, a disruptor, and, in his words, the people’s champion of House of Villains Season 2.
