After contending for the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar, Kandy Muse is gearing up to vie for the award of America’s Ultimate Supervillain — and she has views about how her new costars would perform in the Werk Room.
When asked which House of Villains season 2 star would fare the best on RuPaul’s Drag Race, Kandy, 29, didn’t hesitate.
“New York, because I think New York is already a drag queen,” Kandy exclusively told Us Weekly, alluding to Tiffany “New York” Pollard. “She was putting out these extravagant looks, and I was just like, ‘Oh, my God, girl, you’re eating me up!’ New York for sure.”
Kandy and New York are two contestants on the upcoming season of E!’s House of Villains, which also stars The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice, The Real World’s Wes Bergmann, Survivor’s Richard Hatch, Big Brother’s Jessie Godderz, Bad Girls Club: Las Vegas’ Camilla Poindexter, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s Safaree Samuels, The Bachelor’s Victoria Larson and 90 Day Fiancé’s Larissa Lima. (New York, 42, originally rose to stardom on VH1’s Flavor of Love.)
The series started last year and follows the eponymous “villains” as they live together while battling for $200,000 and the title of America’s Ultimate Supervillain. Though the program is full with noisy characters, Kandy claimed she still developed friends in the house even as she was competing against her housemates.
“Camille [and I] definitely got along really, really well,” Kandy told Us in an interview organized by BetUS. “I got along with everyone for the most part. Yes, there was conflict, but I think everyone in there had a mutual respect for each other, notably for me, since they knew I was going in drag. And they were also captivated with the art of drag, how I changed from being my male self to becoming this dazzling diva. So, everyone for the most part genuinely appreciated me. Doesn’t mean we didn’t get into it!”

While some reality stars might be upset by the villain moniker, Kandy isn’t scared to embrace it following her headline-making turns on RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13 and All Stars season 8.
“I knew that on Drag Race I was considered a little villain, which, hey, I’ll take it. Because villains are typically the most iconic ones,” Kandy explained. “And TV shows and movies, they’re always the most memorable ones. So when I got approached to do House of Villains, I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. There’s no uncertainty, let’s do it!’”
After House of Villains closes up, Kandy has her eyes set on another reality show: Celebrity Big Brother.
“I think start off with that one,” she told Us. “Here’s the thing: I know there’s The Challenge and there’s all these really physical competition shows — which, let me tell you, physical competition is hard. We had a couple physical challenges on House of Villains, and I don’t know how Wes from The Real World goes back every other season to do it because I could never perform the physical portion of a competition. I’m okay on that one. So a little Big Brother moment, that’s cute for me.”
House of Villains season 2 arrives on E! this autumn.
