History Characters / BigBrother17

** DarkChick: Julia - Julia is TheChick of the alliance but she could also be considered TheLoad. She doesn't really contribuet anything of substance to the alliance but she is arguably the nicest of the alliance along with Steve.

* TheLoad: Meg was one of the weakest and most useless female players of the season. She managed to not win one single competition and overall, she seemed to be very weak on a competitive level. It did not help that Meg was very clueless about what was going in the house. She needed some of her other allies, such as Jackie and Jason, to help her in the strategic department. There were times when Meg even came off as a liability to her alliance (James, Jackie, Jason, Da'Vonne) because she could not win any competitions to keep herself and her allies safe and she did not contribute anything in terms of game intelligence or strategy. It seems that the only thing that Meg really contributed to the game was her ability to flirt with different male houseguests, namely James and Clay.

* AntiHero: Steve is a good guy at heart, but he's had no qualms planning and making big moves, including breaking up the Austwins and pulling one final game-winning backdoor on BigBad Vanessa in the final hour of the game. Type II.

* GenkiBoy[=/=]{{Keet}}: Jace is extremely energetic and high energy. His personality is very much like a surfer dude.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Masturbated while sharing a bed with Johnny Mac on one of the first nights of the live feeds.

* '''[[ZeroPercentApprovalRating 0% Percent Approval Rating / 100% Percent Villainy Rating]]''': Wondering if Vanessa is infamous? YESIRRE BOB! She's at the bottom of the popularity polls for good reason. Vanessa earned this disdain due to being the most ruthless player of the whole season, but unlike the others who gained their infamy, hers seems to have actually doubled back into TropesAreNotBad, because people hate her for being such an effective villain and ''[[HateSink should]]'' feel this way, and praise her for her villainy.

* BeardOfBarbarism: Along with having a Badass Beard and a Beard of Evil, his beard definitely gives him a very unkempt and unruly appearance. It seems to match his personality which is often aggressive and belligerent.

* BreakoutCharacter: James surprisingly won the Americas Fave Houseguest prize at the end of the season beating out the expected favorite to win the prize, John. John and Jason were in the top 3 along with James.

* UnrequitedLoveInterest: James had an obvious crush on Meg, who only saw him as a close friend and valued ally in the house. James later admits in his exit interview that if he hasn't gotten anywhere with her in the BB house, he doesn't have a shot in the jury house, but is fine with being JustFriends.

* BarbaricBeard: Along with having a Badass Beard and a Beard of Evil, his beard definitely gives him a very unkempt and unruly appearance. It seems to match his personality which is often aggressive and belligerent.

* CloudCuckoolander: Not as much as John, but he has made some... questionable game decisions, a few being smart (like voting for John instead of Audrey to confuse the house) but most of his game actions are downright ''weird'' like telling Jason (the biggest gossip in the house) that not only does he have a crush on Liz, but also that Liz's twin is named Julia. That, plus the fact that he said that he would target Julia once she entered the game so he and Liz make it as far as the jury house to be with her if both should be evicted, led Vanessa to briefly target him for eviction in Week 5 before ultimately choosing to blindside Jason instead when Austin pleaded to stay. This move revealed the divisions in the house, and although the Sixth Sense remained intact for that week, Austin's loose lips made it a hollow victory when James, who was allied with Jason, won the next [=HoH=], which was the first solo [=HoH=] of the game (meaning no chance of getting dethroned), and nominated Clay and Shelli, who had convinced Vanessa to keep Austin, leading Sixth Sense to lose Clay instead of Austin the next week and then Shelli the week after.
** Austin's speech at the eviction nomination ceremony, when he becomes [=HOH=] for the first time in Week 9, manages to confuse some of the houseguests.

[[quoteright:301:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vanessabigbrother17.jpg]]

* AlphaBitch: Vanessa is the BIGGEST bitch of the entire season. Even the mean girls like Julia and Liz can not fill Vanessa's bitch shoes. Vanessa is very controlling, bossy, and domineering. She likes to control everything and if she doesn't get her way, she resorts to causing trouble and drama. Vanessa is a MagnificentBitch, a ManipulativeBitch, TheBully, an evil blonde, and a DramaQueen all rolled into one. Vanesa is also HotBlooded and extremely confrontational and argumentative, meaning that she will start fights with other people either to embarrass them, shame them or harass them. Most of Vanessa starting fights with other houseguests was strategic as she felt that she could put target placement on houseguests whom she had an argument with. She is willing to intimidate and bully other people to get her way and she will sabotage other people's games to achieve her goals. Vanessa is a combo of the the Type 1 and Type 2 Alpha Bitch personalities. She fits the Type 1 mould because she is openly rude and intimidating towards other houseguests and does not seem to have any consideration for who she hurts in the process. Despite her terrible personality and her horrible behaviour, Vanessa still had a lot of followers and minions that were loyal to her and willing to do anything for her in the game. Vanessa also fits the Type 2 personality because she is actually an EvilGenius and ManipulativeBitch who has proven to be very strategic, cunning, and sharp in regards to the game. She is a very smart woman and has very strong instincts regarding the game and the other houseguests intentions. To add, she also has a near ZeroPercentApprovalRating outside of the house, because she is so incredibly unlikeable and vile in her ways. Vanessa is the overall Alpha Bitch of the season, but Julia, Liz and even Shelli are her BetaBitch's, as she was controlling them in the game and they were allies who worked for her.

[[quoteright:302:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/johnbigbrother17.jpg]]

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: A large majority of the ''Big Brother'' viewing audience loves John, and he seemed like the clear favorite to win "America's Favourite Houseguest" at the end of the season. The only other houseguests that could possibly come close to John are James (who did win) and Jason.

* [[ActionHero Action Guy]]: John has shown that despite his size, he is a very strong competitor. He has won quite a few competitions and has also come in the top three in many other comps, won a "Battle of the Block" and four POV's. John is also very good at endurance competitions and has come in the top three in both of them, and came in second in several other POV and HOH competitions. Liz and Clay even referred to John as being the "Veto King". In fact, it's safe to say that John is the official "Power of Veto King" of the season, as [[spoiler: in Week 12, John won his fourth consecutive Power of Veto, tying him with James Rhine (from ''[[Characters/BigBrother6 Big Brother 6]] and [[Characters/BigBrotherAllStars Big Brother All Stars]]'') and Shane Meaney (from ''Big Brother 14'') for most POV wins won by a male houseguest in a single season.]]

* AllLovingHero: John doesn't seem to show any strong personal dislike or hatred towards any of his fellow houseguests, and is generally kind and polite to everyone; in point of fact, having never badmouthed or trash talked his fellow houseguests. John even managed treat Vanessa who has been his main enemy with as much kindness as possible.

[[quoteright:302:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/austinbigbrother17.jpg]]

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Austin is strongly disliked by a large portion of the audience along with Liz and Vanessa, because he is incredibly cold-blooded and ruthless to a fault (while Liz and Vanessa are hot-blooded versions of ruthless, respectively), but his worst offense is being a stone-cold cheater on his girlfriend back home. The opposite of John, who has a HundredPercentAdorationRating, incredibly wacky, loyal to a fault, and is loved by the audience.
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Develops a borderline obsessive crush on Liz, despite that Liz is repulsed by Austin and only hasn't rejected him because she feels it would be bad for her game. Austin's only goal in the game by this point seems to be getting to the jury house so he can be with her, and this desire and his revelation of it [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom ultimately]] [[EpicFail undermined]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his]] [[NiceJobFixingItVillain alliance's]] [[TooDumbToLive entire]] [[BackstabBackfire game,]] in more ways that one. Eventually subverted, as Liz admits in a DR entry (seen in Episode 22) that Austin has begun to grow on her.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Liz, along with Austin, Vanessa and Julia, is one of the least liked houseguests of the season. She is very unpopular and is ranked at the bottom of all the polls. Much of her unpopularity has to do with her mean girl attitude and her romance with Austin, who is also unpopular (and the fact that she is a [[YourCheatingHeart hypotenuse]]).
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her finale outfit.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: InvertedTrope. Liz was originally not romantically attracted to Austin. Austin on the other hand was strongly and [[{{Yandere}} deeply obsessed]] (on Caleb levels) with Liz. He was vey adamant about starting a relationship with her, despite having a girlfriend back home. This changed later on when Liz admitted that she actually liked Austin. She eventually became Austins girlfriend and made their relationship official on the show.

* MythologyGag: Liz and Julia (who happen to be both twins) playing as the same person was used in Characters/BigBrother5.

* '''[[ZeroPercentApprovalRating 0% Percent Approval Rating / 100% Percent Villainy Rating]]''': Wondering if Vanessa is infamous? YESIRRE BOB! She's at the bottom of the popularity polls for good reason. Vanessa earned this disdain due to being the most ruthless player of the whole season, but unlike the others who gained their infamy, hers seems to have actually doubled back into TropesAreNotBad, because people hate her for being such an effective villain and ''should'' feel this way, and praise her for her villainy.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Making an omelet for Audrey when she was a Have Not was obviously grounds to trigger a penalty vote, but it didn't matter to him because Aubrey was so down in the dumps she needed real food, and good food.

* PetTheDog: When James gives her an omelet, it's one of the nicest and most sympathetic gestures of the whole season. Even after being the villain, somebody still cares about her enough to treat her like family.

* NiceGuy: When Audrey is set up for eviction and is acting all strange, James makes a nice omelet for her.

* '''VillainousBreakdown''': Oh. BOY. When Audrey went up on the block, she completely lost it, shutting down on a personal level, shrouding herself in a gray blanket and black sunglasses and cowering under them like a celebrity desperately trying to avoid the paparazzi. For the longest time, she simply would not get out of bed and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments James chose to make and bring an omelet to her]] because she wouldn't go into the kitchen to come eat (she eventually ate it and enjoyed it). She spent ''hours'' locked away in the Diary Room because it was the only place she could have true peace, in complete solitude with the door locked from the inside. She would sometimes emerge to either eat or use the bathroom, but then almost immediately afterward return to her DR hideaway and keep on sulking. Eventually, it got to the point where Austin was griping at her for not being able to take what she dished out when it was her turn to take the heat for what she did and the houseguests started wondering if Audrey was going to walk from the game entirely. She managed to pull herself together long enough to endure the inevitable eviction, but what she did beforehand was so over the top, fans have come to christen it "Audrey's Imperial March", as she looked like a [[Franchise/StarWars Sith Lord]] in her gloomy getup.

* '''AnnoyingLaugh''': John's guffawing laugh is one of the most goofy and obnoxious there is, and Zingbot is proud to call him out over it.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Austin is strongly disliked by a large portion of the audience along with Liz and Vanessa, because he is incredibly cold and ruthless to a fault (while Liz and Vanessa are hot-blooded versions of ruthless, respectively), but his worst offense is being a stone-cold cheater on his girlfriend back home.

* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: Julia is the older twin between herself and Liz. Julia is protective of Liz (and vice versa), and secretly questioned Austin's motives with her sister. Although, once she was evicted, she noted that it might be possible that Liz and Austin would last as a couple outside the house, though doesn't hedge her bets that Austin will end up her brother-in-law. In addition, Julia also shows that she is older than Liz through her being more logical and wise than Liz. She is also more level headed, cool, calm and collected than Liz, who is rather HotBlooded, impulsive, hot headed and emotional.
