Tiffany “New York” Pollard Returns For The Third Season
What comes as a complete surprise to fans is the return of Flavor of Love’s Tiffany “New York” Pollard. She competed in Season 1 and Season 2 of the competition series but has yet to win. She will be up against some fierce reality TV stars this season, but if anyone knows how to outplay and outwit the competition, it’s New York. Knowing the ins and outs of the game could give her the advantage she needs to finally take home the win and be named “America’s Ultimate Supervillain.”
Tiffany will also know the best strategies for the game come Season 3. In an interview with Us Weekly, she revealed what she learned about competing on the show.
“One thing I learned from House of Villains is not forming enough fake connections to benefit my gameplay may not be the best approach,” she told the outlet.
Tiffany is having a major reality TV comeback after having competed for rapper Flavor Flav’s affection on the VH1 dating show, Flavor of Love in 2006. Having been named “New York” by the rapper, she starred in both Seasons 1 and 2, but was unable to capture his heart, having become runner-up in both seasons.
However, thanks to her big personality, she nabbed her own dating show called I Love New York, which ran for two seasons in 2007 and 2008. The following year, she starred in her own show called New York Goes to Work, where the reality star works labor-type jobs each week.
