The stars competed, put their target on the hit list, and voted to banish their competitors one by one. But it was unclear how the new show would determine a winner. The finale showed Tanisha Thomas, Jonny Fairplay, Johnny Bananas, Anfisa Arkhipchenko, and Shake Chatterjee competing for Supervillain of the Week one last time, becoming a finalist. Bananas won and had the power to save one villain. He chose his close ally, Tanisha. Anfisa then beat Fairplay and Shake in the following competition. The jury voted on the finalists and Tanisha and Bananas tied with three votes. Anfisa was eliminated and broke the tie. She voted for Tanisha to win.
