Are you ready for one of the best Big Brother villains to make a comeback? The House of Villains Season 3 cast reveal has a familiar face for Big Brother fans. Paul Abrahamian is one of the best villains to play Big Brother, and after two consecutive losses as runner-up, Abrahamian disappeared from reality television. Nearly a decade after their first appearance, Abrahamian is back, and, as a Big Brother fan, I’m excited. Abrahamian is about to make an amazing season of House of Villains.

House of Villains is a Peacock original competition that brings together the greatest, or rather worst, villains in reality television. House of Villains is a crossover like The Traitors which brings fans to watch their favorite villains battle it out through competition, strategy, and manipulation to claim the title of America’s Ultimate supervillain. With notorious names like Omarosa Manigault Newman, Wes Bergmann, and now three-time contestant Tiffany “New York” Pollard, Big Brother’s Abrahamian will fit right in. Abrahamian is designed for House of Villains, and here’s why.

Paul Abrahamian Never Held Back on ‘Big Brother’

Like any good villain, Abrahamian’s bark was just as strong as their bite. It was evident that Abrahamian was a fighter the moment they walked into the Big Brother house in Season 18. Abrahamian never held back during a confrontation and would go on the offensive the moment they felt vulnerable in the game. Whenever Abrahamian got fired up they would say things that hurt other people. Abrahamian’s comments rubbed people the wrong way, and after a while, Abrahamian received criticism from the jury in both Season 18 and 19 for their insults, condescension, and their lack of accountability. Ultimately, they made people so incredibly angry that, despite strategically manipulating their way to the end, not just once, but twice, neither jury allowed Abrahamian to win. Abrahamian lost because they weren’t nice, but House of Villains is not Big Brother, so this time they are free to be as mean as they want.

Paul Abrahamian Is Also Unafraid to Make Big Moves

Abrahamian entered Big Brother intending to eliminate veteran players, such as Da’Vonne Rogers. As Season 18 progressed, Abrahamian changed direction and made decisions based on “friendship,” pairing up with Victor Arroyo until they were put on the block together. Abrahamian had a hand in many evictions during their first season, but it is Season 19 that really showcases their skills. Abrahamian was undeniably the puppet master of Season 19 and a great strategist; they literally got a woman in a leg cast to win a running race. Now Abrahamian has a chance to prove once again that they can set their plans into motion, this time in House of Villains.

A key part of Big Brother and any competition show is making people like you. Abrahamian did this flawlessly in their second season, but only while players were still inside the house. Abrahamian’s specialty was pitting people against each other and somehow talking their way out of every situation. However, once contestants had time to talk in the jury house and realized they’d be screwed over and insulted, Abrahamian’s mist evaporated. It was almost unbelievable how much control Abrahamian had over the Season 19 contestants. Yet, in the end Abrahamian lost that season as well.

Paul Abrahamian Is a Competition Beast

House of Villains has a similar format to Big Brother. In terms of game mechanics, this means that Abrahamian already has a head start over some of the other villains. In Big Brother, Abrahamian dominated in competitions. Abrahamian holds the record for the most competition wins in Big Brother history, with 14 victories across two seasons. Abrahamian is sure to continue this streak of winning challenges on House of Villains.

Now, is this House of Villains cast going to be as easy to manipulate as the Season 19 Big Brother cast? Probably not, but with Tom Sandoval in the line-up, you never know. It’s cynical and a bit mean, but what I’m personally looking forward to the most is watching and waiting to see if Abrahamian makes it to the end of a competition a third time just to get runner-up all over again. On the other hand, maybe these villains will finally respect the player and give Abrahamian a win.

House of Villains season 3 will air in early 2026. Previous seasons are available on Peacock.
