Victoria Larson has come a long way since her days on The Bachelor. Even though she still loves to cause a little trouble on E!’s House Of Villains, Larson has grown tremendously. When asked what she would do with the 200K prize money, Larson replied that she would put that money towards opening her own pilates studio and paying off her parking tickets and fines for other traffic violations. Since filming wrapped, Larson is happy to report she has managed to square things with the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles. “I did pay my parking tickets, got my license unsuspended, and got insurance,” said Larson happily.

Unfortunately, not everything is going as well for Larson on House Of Villains. Her former friend and RHOM star Larsa Pippen—who joined the cast—wasted no time in picking a fight with her. “When you’re living in a house of people, things just get heightened very quickly,” explained Larson. “She didn’t like that I could get emotional.” Despite their feud, Larson takes pride in not instigating more drama with Pippen while living in the house. “I believe not arguing 24/7 is my being an adult,” said Larson simply. More reality TV stars should take note!

While it remains to be seen whether she will leave House Of Villains a winner, she did make two new friends: RHONJ star Teresa Giudice and living legend Tiffany “New York” Pollard. Having watched Giudice since she was a kid, Larson said it was a “surreal experience” to hang out with her. “It also felt nice to see her having my back as I’m watching the show now,” added Larson. Larson was also drawn to Pollard for her “psychic abilities” and her surprisingly level head. “I know she got involved in some antics on TV or whatever, but I love chatting with New York,” said Larson. “She’s given me good advice on a bunch of different things.”

Larson stopped by the Decider studio to chat about the season, her complicated dynamic with Pippen, and the “insane” finale.”

DECIDER: I have to ask: have you paid off your parking tickets by now?

VICTORIA LARSON: I did pay my parking tickets, got my license unsuspended, got insurance, but now I sold my car anyway. Solved it [laughs]!

I’m unfamiliar with Miami, but I assume the parking situation is bad, yes?

No, it wasn’t all parking tickets. My tag was expired, and I forgot to open my mail.

Happens to the best of us.

I don’t open my mail unless it’s Amazon packages. That’s how they should send the tickets. Then I’ll see them [laughs].

What has your House Of Villains journey been like so far?

I didn’t go in with any expectations. It’s been really fun to do the different challenges and to live with the other villains.

How did things go so wrong with Larsa so fast?

When you’re living in a house with people, things just get heightened very quickly. She didn’t like that I could get emotional. At one point, I do overcome my emotions and get more into the game play. I don’t think emotions are a bad thing, but I do think there are situations where you can learn to control them.

New York was confused by your relationship with Larsa because you two can co-exist when you’re not fighting. Is that being fake or is it just being an adult?

I believe not arguing 24/7 is my being an adult. I don’t want to argue all the time. I don’t think it’s being fake necessarily if you can sit and eat with a person you’re having issues with. That is just coexisting. We all have people we might not like at work, but you don’t have to attack those people constantly.

You famously said “I guess I don’t get the Housewife thing” after Teresa continued to be nice to Larsa after she put her on the hit list. Do you think Teresa needs to be careful with Larsa?

I don’t want to speak for Teresa, but if I were in her shoes, I would make very different choices.

It seems like you and Teresa formed a genuine connection in the house. What surprised you most about her?

I told Teresa: “I can’t believe you’re my friend. I grew up watching you on TV.” It was a surreal experience at first because she’s so down to earth. She’s super nice and so funny. They are not showing how funny she actually was in the house. It also felt nice to see her having my back as I’m watching the show now.

I was surprised to learn that New York has psychic abilities. Is that one of the qualities that drew you to her?

What was it like to live with her ?[ As I said, I’m a slut for a psychic. I love psychics and Reiki and energy work, and I really like that quality in New York. She also is very solid when you talk to her. I know she has been involved in some antics on TV or whatever, but I love chatting with New York. She’s given me good advice on a bunch of different things.

You also accidentally instigated the second fight between New York and Teresa. Did you anticipate those consequences?

I am not a psychic and I did not see that coming [laughs]. I feel good with my choice to tell New York what Teresa was saying. If someone is my friend, I’m going to tell them about things that are going on. What happens next is on them.

Post-House Of Villains, have you kept up with any of the cast?

Teresa and I chatted right after filming, but we haven’t kept in touch. I talked with New York, Safaree, Wes, Kandy and Camilla. Really everyone except Jessie and Rich. There’s no friendship there.

What can you tease about the rest of the season?

My gosh, the finale is insane. You’ve never seen anything like it.

New episodes of House Of Villains air Thursdays at 10pm ET/PT on E!
