Notes
  1. Joel left an envelope in the house which automatically put the last contestant who opened it by the next Battle Royale Challenge, Kate, on the Hit List. However, as Kate then won Supervillain of the Week, she was removed from the Hit List.
  2. As Ashley was medically removed from the game, Kate, as Supervillain of the Week, had to name a new nominee. She chose to nominate Tyson.
  3. As the Supervillain of the Week was already determined, the winners of the episode 1 Battle Royale Challenge earned immunity from the Hit List.
  4. For this round there was no banishment vote. Instead, whichever two villains remained on The Hit List after losing the Redemption Challenge were automatically banished.
  5. As the vote was tied, the Supervillain of the Week cast the tie-breaker vote.
  6. In episode 3, Paul found the "Right Hand of the Supervillain" power, granting them the right to jointly decide the Hit List with the Supervillain of the Week.

Title[4]Original release date
221"Third Time's the Charm"February 26, 2026 (2026-02-26)

On the first day, the contestants are presented with a lever and a ten-minute timer for someone to pull it, should they choose. Afterwards, it was revealed that the contestant who pulled the lever, Tyson, would become Supervillain of the Week.

  • Battle Royale Challenge (7 Deadly Sins): Played in two teams of five, with the Supervillain of the Week not competing. One at a time, each team member must complete a challenge inspired by one of the seven deadly sins: (1) finding a $100 bill in a money booth; (2) eating a cake; (3) smashing office supplies to find a picture of Joel McHale; (4) crying until a tear comes out; and (5) solving a puzzle. The first team to complete all five challenges wins immunity from the Hit List.
232"When You've Got Nothing Left, You've Got Nothing To Lose"February 26, 2026 (2026-02-26)

  • Redemption Challenge (Bringing the Drama): In the morning, contestants watch a live soap opera scene. Afterwards, the challenge is announced, and contestants attempt to answer six multiple-choice questions about the scene. The contestant with the most correct answers wins.

  • Battle Royale Challenge (Toxic Tea Party): Each round, contestants are blindfolded and one contestant is randomly selected to "poison" another contestant by placing a cup of tea in front of them. Afterwards, the contestant with the tea tries to guess who placed it there. If they guess correctly, the contestant who assigned them the tea is eliminated from the challenge. However, they are eliminated if they guess incorrectly. Once two contestants remain, they have one minute to decide the Supervillain of the Week among themselves. If they cannot agree, the most-recently eliminated contestant from the challenge becomes Supervillain of the Week instead.
254"I Hate All of These People"March 5, 2026 (2026-03-05)

265"Loose Lips Sink Swan Boats"March 12, 2026 (2026-03-12)

  • Battle Royale Challenge (See No Evil Hear No Evil Speak No Evil): Played in three teams of three, with one team member gagged, one blindfolded, and one wearing deafening headphones. The gagged team member must mime provided instructions for three party-style challenges to the deafened team member, who then announces these instructions to the blindfolded team member so they can complete the challenges. The first team to finish then individually compete to become Supervillain of the Week, where they attempt to find a stuffed animal in a bouncy castle while wearing the blindfold, gag and headphones. The first contestant to find the stuffed animal wins.
276"This Is Bananas"March 19, 2026 (2026-03-19)

  • Redemption Challenge (Minion Impossible): Contestants attempt to convince the non-competing contestants to complete six dares, worth varying amounts of points, on their behalf. Contestants may also complete one dare themselves. The contestant with the most points wins. In the case of a tie, a tiebreaker is held where contestants attempt to eat as many live hornworms as they can in one minute.

298"I'm Sorry You Had to See This"April 2, 2026 (2026-04-02)

  • Redemption Challenge (Pipe Down): Working with a castmate from their former series, contestants must maneuver a ring through a wire loop game. Each time the ring touches the wire, contestants are sprayed with water and must restart. The first contestant to finish wins.

  • Battle Royale Challenge (Screwed Over): Contestants attempt to hold onto a giant spinning screw for as long as possible. During the challenge, the previously eliminated contestants (who returned to be part of the jury) can each select one contestant to have their screw spin faster, making it more difficult for them. The last contestant standing wins.
  • Redemption Challenge (The Backstabbies): Before the challenge, all cast members (including the jury) filled out an awards ballot where they were asked to assign cast members to seven superlative categories. Contestants attempt to guess which cast member received the most nominations for each category. The contestant with the most correct answers wins and claims the final spot in the finale.
