Jax Taylor openly expressed his thoughts on his filming experience with Corinne Olympios during season 1 of House of Villains on his podcast "When Reality Hits" on Friday, October 13. While discussing the premiere of the E! competition series, Jax, who is married to Brittany Cartwright, shared his view on Corinne, who is 31 years old.
Jax expressed his annoyance as Brittany, 34, recounted how Corinne cried continuously upon meeting Omarosa Manigault Newman. The incident, which took place on Thursday, October 12, was witnessed by viewers. Corinne confessed that she was unaware of Omarosa's name during their initial encounter, prompting the 49-year-old Omarosa to suggest using Google to "assist" her.

Omarosa continued to shut Corrine’s attempts at a conversation down, which caused the former Bachelor contestant to walk away in tears.
"You know what I call that? That's an excessive effort, trying way too hard. So, I hope you have a wonderful day, you unpleasant person," Corrine expressed to Omarosa.
In the meantime, Omarosa stayed unaffected by Corrine's remark and subsequently selected Corrine as the contestant to be eliminated from the show. "I have extensive knowledge in this area. Playing mind games is crucial to asserting your power. Let the games commence," Omarosa declared in a private interview.
Jax, on his part, had no success in forming a friendship with Corrine. As soon as the Vanderpump Rules alum entered the house in the premiere, Corrine wasted no time in warning several of the other contestants, including Tiffany Pollard, about not trusting him.
"She kept incessantly asking me the same question. She was like, 'Why don't you like me, Jax?'" he recounted on Friday. "I never heard exactly what she said about me, but even at the premiere party, she kept pestering me, asking, 'Do you like me? Do you like me?' And my response was, 'I don't dislike you, but I also don't like you. I simply don't know you.'"
House of Villains is a fresh reality series that unites infamous cast members from popular shows like Survivor, The Challenge, and 90 Day Fiancé among others. These participants are vying for a grand prize of $200,000 and the coveted title of "America's Ultimate Supervillain."
Prior to the premiere, Omarosa shared exclusively with We Magazine about the unexpected connection she formed with Jax and Anfisa Arkhipchenko.
During a joint interview, she expressed her gratitude for having had the opportunity to form stronger bonds with the cast members this time around. "I am truly fortunate to have gotten two amazing roommates who have also become two of my closest friends. And now, Jax has two incredible sisters who are always there for him. It was truly a wonderful experience to actually connect with these people."
Furthermore, Jax revealed a behind-the-scenes secret regarding the individual who initially operated the sinister villain microphone.

During the episode, we had someone speaking over the microphone, greeting us as "Good morning villains." This person would then inform us about the next task, and interestingly enough, the original voice used was that of Anna Delvey. As some may recall, Anna Delvey was convicted of grand larceny, larceny in the second degree, and theft of services, resulting in a prison sentence of four to 12 years in April 2019. Although she couldn't physically appear on the show due to her house arrest, her voice still found its way into it.
Jax commented, "I'm currently watching the show, but that's not her voice. It sounds like an English woman, so I'm curious as to what happened." The intercom person on the show is Anna. Catch House of Villains on E! every Thursday at 10 p.m. ET.
