“Big Brother” star Paul Abrahamian is finally returning to reality TV after almost nine years, diving into Peacock’s competition series “House of Villains.” The trailer makes it clear: Abrahamian is not afraid of stirring the pot.
‘House of Villains’ Trailer
Abrahamian, who uses they/he pronouns, is featured early on in the “House of Villains” season three trailer. Although host Joel McHale’s voice-over promises “bigger liars” this season, the “Big Brother” season 18 and 19 runner-up tells his fellow players, “Don’t call me a liar. Call me a rat.”
A later clip shows a raunchier side of Abrahamian. Tiffany Pollard comes after them and their fashion sense, saying, “Your vest is made out of pubic hair, sweetheart.” Abrahamian, though, has no problem standing up for themself. “It’s my pubic hair, I collected it for years,” they comically replied.
As the only “Big Brother” flagship player on “House of Villains” season three, Abrahamian might have an advantage due to the two shows’ similar formats. Like “Big Brother,” “House of Villains” begins each week with a competition, with the winner immune for the week. That person nominates three people for banishment, all three of whom get to compete for safety. The cast then votes to banish one of the two remaining nominees.
That being said, Pollard did compete on “Celebrity Big Brother” in 2016, so she may also have an edge. Plus, this is Pollard’s second stint on “House of Villains.”
Abrahamian will be competing against a stacked cast. “House of Villains” season three features reality TV legends like Ashley Mitchell from “The Challenge,” Tom Sandoval from “Vanderpump Rules” and “The Traitors,” and Plane Jane from “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” among others.
Paul Abrahamian’s Reality TV Career
CBSAbrahamian first came on the scene in 2016 for “Big Brother” season 18. They quickly established themself as a force to be reckoned with. Although Abrahamian was nominated for eviction six times throughout the season, they won the “Power of Veto” (POV) three times. Abrahamian also won three “Head of Household” (HOH) competitions, including the final and most important one.
Unfortunately, despite playing a great social and physical game, Abrahamian lost the grand prize by one vote. Luckily, CBS soon gave the outspoken runner-up a second chance at the $500,000 winnings. Abrahamian returned for “Big Brother” season 19.
Fate repeated itself that season as well. Abrahamian played another incredible game, being nominated only twice and winning an impressive five POVs, plus three HOHs. Alas, when Josh Martinez elected to sit next to Abrahamian in the final two chairs, Abrahamian once again lost by one vote. They may not b the only player to make it to the final two chairs twice, but they did become and remain the only player in “Big Brother” history to finish in second place twice.
To find out if Abrahamian will have a different fate on “House of Villains,” tune in to Peacock on February 26, 2026.
