What’s a Big Brother house without a villain? While some entered the house to play an honest game, others arrived to wreak havoc and cause as much damage as possible. They lied, bullied and manipulated the guests and we love to hate them and we hate to love them.
Here’s our list of the 10 most villainous contestants to ever enter the House of Big Brother:
10. Eric Littman from Season 6
Known as Cappy, this firefighter from Boston defied most of the house with the exception of Ivette, who teamed up with him for some reason. He was only there for three weeks, but in that time, he had to be prevented from fighting with Michael, who thought he had insulted his family. Afterwards, Michael called Eric a “midget”, further enraging him.
9. Shannon Dragoo from Season 2
You might not expect a former calendar model to be this off-putting, but scrubbing the toilet with Hardy’s toothbrush is pretty… off-putting. Maybe it was just his current sea captain persona taking over. Though malicious and arrogant, she courted Dr. Will, who made her a part of his evil Chilltown alliance. Shannon was also evicted in week three.
8. Joe Barber from season 8
Ah, what’s better than a gay best friend who can’t keep his mouth shut? He even let us know that his housemate, Dustin, had the clap. Um, some things should be kept secret, Joe. Thank goodness he was evicted in week two before he told us more things we didn’t want to know!
7. Maggie Ausburn from Season 6
A nurse as a villain? Yes, Maggie was the leader of the La Amistad alliance and she got her followers to do all the dirty work leaving little blood on her hands. So little that she ended up winning season 6, which puts her above her secret partner Cappy.
6. Scott Long from Season 5 and Jase Wirey from Seasons 5 and 7 (All-Stars)
What’s worse than a villain? Two villains teamed up. As part of the Four Horsemen alliance, Jase became the first recipient of the famous “back door” move on the 42nd. His bromance partner Scott didn’t last as long as he was evicted on the 35th. All-Star season, Jase returned and was the subject of a controversial backyard outburst when he feared he was being cheated on again. His fear was justified as he was nominated as a replacement and ended up leaving in week three.
5. Joshuah Welch from Season 9
Joshuah was an attention whore who hoped to be as evil as Evel Dick, but failed. She ranted, raved, bullied people and left the house on day 56.
4. Alison Irwin from Season 4 and 7 (All-Stars)
A pageant queen who played a wicked and cunning game that included flirting and backstabbing, Alison worked her way up to the top 2. However, she forgot that the jury voted for the winner and was so hated that she only got a vote. When she appeared on All-Stars, the guests apparently still hadn’t forgiven her for her ways because she was the first one eliminated.
3. Will Kirby from seasons 2 and 7 (All-Stars)
The evil Dr. Will was beautiful and ruthless. As the leader of Chilltown, Dr. Will wowed and lied to win season 2. But he lost his shine in the All-Stars season, which is fine because his partner in crime Mike Boogie won that season.
2. Mike “Boogie: Malin from season 2 and 7 (All-Stars)
Speaking of Mike Boogie, he’s ranked #2 for having a nice-guy personality that was ultimately overshadowed by his real meanness (did he learn that from Dr. Will?) when he called his showmance with Erika a “ho-mance.” “And he still won after that comment!
1. “Evel” Dick Donato from season 8
Tattooed? Check. Rock bartender? Check. Enchanted stranger? Check. Bad from start to finish? Check. Evel Dick certainly earned the nickname for him as he spit and vomited around the house, especially with inflammatory comments against female guests, and then beat up his own daughter for the win. And yet, we and his housemates still love him in the end.
With the help of these ten villains, Big Brother’s house will never be a house of peace and quiet again. There will always be players who are going to lie and scheme to try to get to the end, but that makes reality TV interesting.
