K.O MTT facing two all Ins with 88 K.O MTT facing two all Ins with 88

This is my first Post asking for advice so sorry if i have done it wrong.
I'm not sure about this spot being so short in a turbo and would like thoughts on what to do here. All thoughts would be appreciated.
Villain one has shoved the last three hands after being down to 2bbs after his trips were cracked so is short and I'm always reshoving here if the action comes to me.

Villain 2 has a very healthy stack and has played very minimal hands i think only one in the last orbit calling a raise and folding the flop.

I have roughly 12BBs sitting on the bubble facing two all ins in front and both blinds to act behind, Although short do i wait for a better spot or do i shove here. My first thought was Villain 2 was trying to get the bounty although we are already in the money deep with 300ish people left and the bounty was only worth $3.

I am happily calling here expecting to see a lot worse hands from villain two, he's rarely going to be ahead with a higher pocket pair, and the rest of the time you are flipping / favourite for a double up which will put you in a better position in the tournament further down the line.

Out of curiosity, what is your threshold here? i.e if you don't want to call with 88, are you folding 99 / 1010 also??

Thanks for the reply, i figure Villain 1 still has a stack that could cripple me from a profitable shove in the next orbit so i folded but i'm going with JJ+ Ak maybe Aq or is this wrong aswell.

It is a KO tournament so you will see when a short shoves many bigstacks call or isolating having weak hands to try to get the bounty, so I'd push here my 88.

I misread your post, i thought villain one still had 2bb's, I still feel as though he i shoving with a super wide range that 88 is ahead of most of the time. I think I would call with AKs also.
