‘House of Villains’: Johnny Middlebrooks on Why the Worm Challenge Was Even Worse Than It Looked & More

Johnny Middlebrooks reveals Tyson Apostol won safety by eating more mealworms in a redemption challenge while Ashley was medically discharged and replaced.

  • On the redemption challenge, Tyson Apostol secured safety by eating one more mealworm than Johnny Middlebrooks and Paul. After Ashley was medically discharged, Kate replaced her with Tyson in the competition.
  • Johnny Middlebrooks says the supervillain role put a target on him because he nominated Kate and New York. At least one of the three allies faced banishment, raising stakes inside the house.
  • The redemption stunt forced contestants to lie in a vat of slithering worms and eat dozens of mealworms. Tom Sandoval wore a nurse's uniform and jumped fully clothed into the pool for the challenge.
  • An argument with Tom Sandoval solidified Johnny Middlebrooks' banishment risk, as he says the confrontation sealed his fate. At least one ally faced banishment, with outcomes proving worse than expected.
  • House of Villains airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Peacock and has featured medical discharges and extreme redemption challenges. Johnny Middlebrooks has appeared on six shows including Netflix's Pop the Balloon and adjusted his in-house strategy.
