* AgainstMyReligion: Dominique has said that she hates lying, backstabbing and manipulating other people in order to get further in the game mostly because her faith and God wouldn't approve of such behavior. Does she forget that she's playing a game that requires lying, backstabbing, and manipulating in order to get to the end and win? Plus, it makes Dominique a bit of a hypocrite because she has had to lie (maybe not as much as the other houseguests) in order to further herself in the game at some point.
* ArchEnemy:
** '''Paul'''. Understandably so considering that it was Paul who orchestrated Dominique's demise after exposing her reckless and careless behavior. Ironically, Dominique used to work with Paul and they used to be trusted allies and friends from the very beginning. However, Paul grew to distrust Dominique due to he sketchy and strange behavior during her talk show interviews. He realized that she was using her talk show interviews to gain information about the other houseguests so that she could eventually use it against them in the future to benefit her game. Dominique eventually discovered that it was Paul that was the one who was throwing her under the bus to everyone and making her public enemy #1 in the house. Once she found out that Paul betrayed her trust, she confronted Paul in front of many other houseguests and tried to humiliate him in front of everyone by referring him to a backstabber, a liar and a snake. By Dominique going off on Paul, who is so well received and liked in the house, she only managed to make her target even bigger and bigger than before. Although Dominique was originally friends and allies with Paul, she realized that Paul backstabbed her and therefore, she knew that he couldn't be trusted. She also made it her mission to try to get everyone to realize that Paul was not to be trusted and that he was a snake who would betray anyone if he wanted. But nobody believed her or bought her argument about Paul because they felt that she was completely unhinged and was just trying to find a way to stay in the game by throwing Paul under the bus.
** '''Elena'''. It's not completely understood why Dominique really disliked Elena but it could either be chalked up to IrrationalHatred towards her, a lack of trust, or because she was in a relationship or showmance with Mark, who was her closets ally and her best friend in the house. Dominique has said that Elena is manipulative and untrustworthy. She's said that doesn't like her that much because she feels that she is using Mark for strategy or game related reasons. Dominique has mentioned that she feels like Elena is phony and that she's not being genuine with Mark. It could be chalked up to petty reasons and jealousy as to why Dominique doesn't like Elena. Her rivalry with Elena is pretty personal in nature as it centres around their relationship with Mark.

demise.



* BeliefMakesYouStupid: Dominique had a habit of making her use of her faith and her religion way too far in the game to the point where she came off as delusional and crazy. Many of the other houseguests were questioning Dominique's sanity because her obsession with using her faith and God in the game made it seem like she was out of touch with reality. Dominique would make strange sweeping proclamations (normally to her herself) about how God will help to salvage her game and that He would be there to get her to the end because He wants her to win.
* BerserkButton: Betraying her or backstabbing her is a HUGE no-no. She doesn't take it lightly when she's stabbed in the back or thrown under the bus by people that she believes are her friends or allies. When she discovered that Paul as well as the rest of the house had thrown her to the wolves, Dominique didn't handle it well at all and became completely unhinged.
* BetaBitch: In the first week, Dominique was this to Jessica's AlphaBitch despite being a NiceGirl for the most part. She would constantly gossip about the other houseguests with Jessica and she would sometimes partake in the trash talking of other houseguests, normally about the outsiders. She was nowhere near as mean or catty as Raven and Elena, each also a BetaBitch to Jessica, when it came to the trash talk about others in the house. If anything, Dominique was more of a Lovable Beta Bitch.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Dominique is generally a NiceGirl but if she's pushed too far, she has quite a tough side that's very surprising. She's logical most of the time, but when she gets upset, she can become quite irrational and out of control.
* BeYourself: Subverted. Being herself in real life in the ''BB'' house was what screwed up her game because she wore her heart on her sleeve.
* BigGood: How Dominique saw herself. She felt that she was the ultimately good houseguest in the house and the one that was meant to defeat all the evil forces in the game. She had a mentality that God put her in the house to get rid of the bad players so that she can make sure that good prevails and gets to the end to win the game. Yes, Dominique is a good person, but she clearly had a bit of God complex and her beliefs about morality and goodness were quite skewed.
* BigSisterInstinct: Played Straight towards Mark, Jessica, Raven, Josh and the rest of her alliance members. Even though Cody and Jessica were the ones running things in the first week because they were the ones in power, Dominique was the one that was really protective of her alliance, especially the ones that were younger such as Jessica and Raven, who had a tendency to get too emotional and impulsive at times. For example, when Jessica was getting too overly emotional about Cody and his game plans of wanting to include Alex into the alliance, Dominique was there to calm Jessica down and give her advice on how to approach Cody about the subject. Outside of her alliance, she also had a strong big sister instinct towards Josh. Dominique was one of the few people who actually cared for Josh on a personal level whenever everyone was ostracizing him because of his immature behavior. Dominique would give Josh advice on how to act and try to calm him down if he became too emotional. Dominique was basically his emotional support system before Christmas took over the role for Josh.
* BlackAndNerdy: Lampshaded by Jeff Schroeder in pre-season interviews when he made fun of her extensive vocabulary.
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Dominique is Black and is the first POC who ends up being evicted this season. To add salt to the wound, she doesn't even end up making it to jury.

* TheCassandra: She spent her last week in the house pointing out that Paul is a backstabber. The house is ''[[SarcasmMode fortunately]]'' the most GenreBlind and TooDumbToLive house since Big Brother 16 and are following Paul around like a dog.
* CassandraTruth: Dominique had Elena pegged from the start. She said that Elena was a fake person who wasn't as nice as she tried to come off. Turns out that Dominique was right about Elena's character. Post-season, Elena's true colors have come out to shine in the form of tweets that she wrote on her Twitter. Elena revealed herself to be ignorant, racist, sexist, and an abuse apologist. The fans are now finally seeing what Dominique saw about Elena all this time and they now say that Dominique was justified and vindicated in her grudge against Elena.
* TheChessmaster: Dominique was one of the most smart and strategic players in the game. She was good at planting seeds of doubt amongst the other houseguests. She was also strategic in trying to gather intel from other houseguests by using a social game and creating a talk show which involves interviewing he other houseguests about their personal lives and their games. Unfortunately, her scheming ways managed to catch up to her and was exposed for her sketchy gameplay.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Towards Mark. Dominique clearly hated Elena and didn't trust her because she was jealous that Mark was interested romantically in Elena and only saw Dominique as a friend. Even after she was evicted and ''three months later'' when the season is finally over, Dominique is still holding a jealous grudge against Elena. She even stated in her Backyard Interview that she sees all of the showmances having a shot at longevity outside of the house with the exception of Marlena. She gave them 27 days of lasting outside of the game. Ouch. Jealous much, Dominique?
* CombatClairvoyance: Zig-zagged. Dominique has a spiritual gift where she's capable of hearing the Holy Spirit talk to her, and she attempts to make it give her advice on what to do as she plays the game, but it doesn't seem to be willing to help her compete in a game that doesn't seem like it would please God at all. It helps her through the first stages of the game, but then it seems to help get her kicked out of the game because the house environment is very irreverent. When it came down to it, it was trying to show her that the material world of the house was no place for a believer.

bite everyone.



* DespairEventHorizon: Once she realizes that everyone has turned on her and nobody trusts her due to her poor gameplay, Dominique loses all hope and becomes extremely cynical about her life span in the game. During the week that she's on the block, Dominique [[SanitySlippage loses it so much]] that she ends up isolating herself away from the houseguests and spends all day in solitary confinement reading her bible and preaching about the Lord. Even when other houseguests try to comfort Dominique, all she manages to do is shun them or push them away. The fact that Dominique went from being one of the best social players in the early start of the game to someone who became anti-social, constantly isolated herself and shunned the comfort from other houseguests, only emphasized how hopeless and over the game Dominique really was. In truth, Dominique blew up her own game by making stupid mistakes and exposing her own strategy by conducting talk shows in order to gather information from other houseguests in order to use it against the other sin the future to her benefit.
* DoggedNiceGirl: Showed shades of this in her relationship with Mark. Mark clearly had a romantic attraction towards Elena, but Dominique in turn clearly was attracted to Mark. However, Mark obviously didn't share the same romantic attraction to Dominique and didn't reciprocate Dominique's more than friendly feelings towards him. She did consistently stick by him though and constantly tried to warn Mark that Elena wasn't always to be trusted even though Mark may have liked her on a romantic level. Plus, she tried to get into Mark's good graces and appeal to him by showing him as much UndyingLoyalty as possible. Turns out it didn't really work in Dom's favor since not only did Mark end up choosing Elena over her but ''he was okay with Dominique going home.''
* TheDragon: For Cody and then for Paul. Dominique had originally been working for Cody in the very first week but she ended up pledging her allegiance and her UndyingLoyalty to Paul once Cody decided to turn on the entire alliance by throwing all of his allies under the bus. Once Dominique discovered that Cody was unpredictable and untrustworthy ally, she decided that staying loyal to Paul is in her best interests.
** CoDragons: She was this with Mark for Paul, along with the majority of the other houseguests. But since Mark was her ride or die in the game other than Paul, she's a Co-Dragon with Mark for Paul. Dominique was one of Paul's strongest allies in the game and she was of great value and importance to Paul's game in the first couple of weeks. Dominique had such a strong social game and strategic game which was considered to be useful for Paul's benefit in the game. Dominique would often be the one to gather information and spill to Paul in order to make game moves.
** DevourTheDragon: Once Paul discovered that Dominique was extremely sketchy and untrustworthy due to her constantly using her talk shows in order to gain intel and eventually use that intel that she gathered against other houseguests in the future in order to benefit her game if she ever were to find herself in trouble, Paul decides to it's time to cut Dominique out of the alliance due to going off as shady and untrustworthy. Paul had always thought of Dominique as one of the strongest assets to his game, but once he realized how unpredictable she was, he realized that she posed a serious threat to his game as well as the games of his allies. Paul orchestrated Dominique's demise but Dominique wasn't aware of who exactly wanted her out of the house at first. She eventually came to realize that Paul turned on her and was plotting to get her out of the house. Once Dominique tried to blow up Paul's game once she found out that Paul was trying to get her evicted, Paul made it his mission in Week 3 to get Dominique out and not only that, but for her other allies (especially Mark) to completely turn on her and make her look untrustworthy to the entire house. If Dominique didn't make so many crucial mistakes, Paul possibly would have kept her longer, even though he had realized that she was one of the strongest players in the game.
** DragonInChief: Downplayed. Dominique was one of the strongest social and strategic game players from the very beginning of the game. Despite this, she was nowhere near the same level of social and strategic mastery that Paul was. Many other people also thought that Dominique was a huge threat in the game and that if she continued to stay in the house, she would run the house, steamroll and make it all the way to the end. So while Dominique was a huge threat in terms of strategy and social game, Paul was still a way more dangerous threat especially since Paul outplayed her and outsmarted her by orchestrating her eviction much to her oblivion.
** DragonTheirFeet: Inverted. Once Dominique found out that Paul was targeting her and had backstabbed her, she had went on a mission to sabotage BigBad Paul's game by trying to humiliate him and expose him to the entire house. Unfortunately for her, nobody took Dominique's side and they all sided with Paul. So even if Dominque wanted to or even attempted to try to take out Paul and have him evicted, she would end up dramatically failing because everyone had taken Paul's side over hers.
** NobleTopEnforcer: She's MUCH nicer than Paul in that although she's a strong strategic player who doesn't play games and she can be pretty tough in the game, she's nowhere near as manipulative, cutthroat and ruthless as Paul is. In fact, part of the reason why Dominique ended up turning on Paul as because she discovered that Paul was a schemer, a liar and a backstabber that couldn't be trusted. Other than gameplay, Dominique was also deeply moral and religious and she depended on her faith and her belief in God to get her far in the game. However, Paul was the opposite. Even though he's religious in the real world, he chose to forsake most of his morals and using his faith while playing the game making him come off as way more immoral in comparison to Dominique.
** TheStarscream: Played Straight and Justified. Considering that Paul had backstabbed and betrayed Dominique, it's completely understandable why she wanted Paul out of the house. She felt like she had been betrayed by Paul when she discovered that he had been plotting to get her out much to her oblivion. Once she discovered this, her respect and loyalty for Paul turned into downright disdain and distrust. Not only did she no longer trust Paul but she went out of her way to warn everyone else and let them know that they also shouldn't trust Paul or have any loyalty to him because of the fact that he's such a schemer and a backstabber. Dominique's belief regarding Paul was that if he was willing to backstab her without a second though, what makes anyone think that he wouldn't backstab anyone else in the same fashion?
* DrunkWithPower: Seriously believed that she was such a special person that God was solely trying to assist her in the game and help her to get to the end so that she could win. At the same time, she ended up turning against all of her allies and believed that she was superior to them once her game was officially blown up.
* EgocentricallyReligious: Dominique took her use of her faith and religion in the game ''way too far'' to the point where she built up a God complex. She constantly brought up God while playing the game much to the annoyance of some of the other houseguests. Her obsession with her faith ended up causing her to lose her sense of logic and game sense. Dominique believed that the Lord and her faith were going to help her in the game and get to the end to win. She would also tout that God wanted her to win the game above everyone else and that as long as God was on her side, she would be just fine. One of the houseguests that was completely annoyed with Dominique constantly using her religion as a tool in the game was Paul. He had stated that he doesn't believe religion or faith have any place in this game and that religion should be off limits when it comes to playing Big Brother.
* EtTuBrute: Dominique didn't take it well when she discovered that Paul, someone whom she had a lot of trust in and respect for, was the one who was plotting her demise. She was so angry about his betrayal that she ended up going after his character personally by suggesting that Paul was nothing more than a liar, a schemer, a manipulator and a snake.
* FatalFlaw: Dominique had a few that led to her ultimate demise in the game:
** Her [[HairTriggerTemper Anger]]. Dominique's biggest weakness sin the game was most definitely her inability to control her anger. She has let her emotions dictate her judgement and cloud her logic. One of the reasons why she became a fast target was because of her blowing up in anger at the other houseguests instead of calming trying to defuse the target that was placed on her back. Once she found out that the other houseguests had turned on her, she decided to play into the unfortunate stereotype of black women. She lashed out in anger at all of the other houseguests instead of using her power of communication or persuasion to convince the others to not target her and to get them to trust her once again. The unfortunate thing is that even though Dominque appears to be rational, calm, cool, and collected, she is very much a HotBlooded person with a HairTriggerTemper and she becomes easily provoked into anger and irritation. Once she gets angry, it's hard for her to calm down and use her sense of logic. The week that she was nominated showcased just how much of a temper she really has. She would angrily lash out at houseguests were simply trying to talk to her or communicate with her. She also went on endless angry, bitter tirades by herself and made no effort to try to fix her situation. Dominique had a few flaws while playing the game, but it can be argued that her anger and her inability to control her temper was most definitely biggest weakness.
** Her [[TheFundamentalist Blind Faith]]. Dear GOD (no pun intended), if anything brought Dominique down in the game, it was her excessive need to constantly use her faith and religion in the game. There was never a time or instance in the house when Dominique wasn't bringing up God or her faith. She insisted on using her faith to determine her success in the game or her chances of getting to the end. She was also delusional enough to believe that God had an influence on who would win the game and that if she were to find herself in peril game wise, God would be there to ''save'' her or help her along the way and make sure that she wins. Because of Dominique's fanatical need to use her religion and her faith in the game, many of the other houseguests, such as Christmas, Elena, and especially Paul, have commented that her bringing up religion in the game is harmful and unnecessary and makes them uncomfortable. Paul has last out stated that he believes that God and religion have absolutely no place in a game for entertainment like Big Brother. He has bashed Dominique for constantly using her faith to get by in the game. Dominique's constant obsession with her faith managed to blind her to what was really important, which was playing the game without being clouded by personal matters such as religion. Dominique let her faith and her religion control her thoughts too much to the extent that she came across as delusional. It was almost as if Dominique was choosing to leave her fate in the game in the hands of the Lord instead of trying to actively determine her own path or destiny in the game herself. Although she could be a very strong, strategic player, her addiction to using God and religion and the delusions that came along with using her religion in the game managed to ruin any chances she had of making it far. Her blind faith also destroyed her social game as her constant fanatical preaching about God rubbed many of the houseguests the wrong way and turned them away from her.
** Her [[{{Narcissist}} Egotism and Narcissism]]: Dominique was incredibly narcissistic in her attitude. She had a superiority complex in the game and felt that she was more deserving to be there because of her belief in God. With time, she grew more and more arrogant to the extent that she believed that God wanted her to be in the house so that he could get her to the end and make sure that she wins. Her constant preaching about how she's a woman of God and that it makes her a better person because of it reeked of serious narcissism and self idolization. Dominique developed a bit of an AGodAmI mentality. She believed that she was TheChosenOne of the house and that she was the only one that God was rooting for to win because of her belief in the Lord. Other houseguests were turned off by her egotistical behavior and frequently bashed Dominique for acting arrogant and self involved. Dominique also had a sense of superiority regarding her intelligence. She came off as arrogant regarding the fact that she was one of the smartest people in the house and she shows a sense of superiority by the way that she would talk down to some of the other houseguests. There's no doubt that while Dominique may be a generally nice person, she does have a seriously huge ego and she is incredibly self absorbed to the point of coming off as narcissistic. Her narcissistic and superior attitude managed to turn many of the houseguests off and it caused the target on her back to become exponentially larger.
** Her [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity Extreme Views on Morality]]: Dominique has a very [[BlackAndWhiteMorality black and white]] view of morality. She has the belief that everyone is either all good or all bad and she doesn't seem to see things in the grey areas. Her black and white views are very apparent in how she perceives the other houseguests such as Paul. To her, Paul is an evil person that needs to be taken down no matter what. She fails to see or understand that Paul's actions in the game leaned more towards a grey area during that time. She failed to comprehend that Paul turning on Dominique had more to do with her own actions and that he was simply removing someone from the game that he perceived as a threat. Dominique took Paul's betrayal as a personal attack against her when it wasn't. She made a big deal about Paul playing the game and instead chose to personally attack him by calling him evil and a snake instead of trying to understand why Paul may have wanted to target her. Dominique also seems to place herself on a high pedestal of ultimate goodness. She held the firm belief that she was the ultimate BigGood of the house and that Paul was the ultimate BigBad of the house and all she wanted to do was bring down the evil force. Everything that Dominique perceived in the game was from a black and white perspective, but it could be thanks to her extreme religious views why she may hold such a strong black and white mentality or view of things.

Paul orchestrated Dominique's demise but Dominique wasn't aware of who exactly wanted her out of the house at first. She eventually came to realize that Paul turned on her and was plotting to get her out of the house. Once Dominique tried to blow up Paul's game once she found out that Paul was trying to get her evicted, Paul made it his mission in Week 3 to get Dominique out and not only that, but for her other allies (especially Mark) to completely turn on her and make her look untrustworthy to the entire house. If Dominique didn't make so many crucial mistakes, Paul possibly would have kept her longer, even though he had realized that she was one of the strongest players in the game. \n** DragonInChief: Downplayed. Dominique was one of the strongest social and strategic game players from the very beginning of the game. Despite this, she was nowhere near the same level of social and strategic mastery that Paul was. Many other people also thought that Dominique was a huge threat in the game and that if she continued to stay in the house, she would run the house, steamroll and make it all the way to the end. So while Dominique was a huge threat in terms of strategy and social game, Paul was still a way more dangerous threat especially since Paul outplayed her and outsmarted her by orchestrating her eviction much to her oblivion. \n** DragonTheirFeet: Inverted. Once Dominique found out that Paul was targeting her and had backstabbed her, she had went on a mission to sabotage BigBad Paul's game by trying to humiliate him and expose him to the entire house. Unfortunately for her, nobody took Dominique's side and they all sided with Paul. So even if Dominque wanted to or even attempted to try to take out Paul and have him evicted, she would end up dramatically failing because everyone had taken Paul's side over hers. \n** NobleTopEnforcer: She's MUCH nicer than Paul in that although she's a strong strategic player who doesn't play games and she can be pretty tough in the game, she's nowhere near as manipulative, cutthroat and ruthless as Paul is. In fact, part of the reason why Dominique ended up turning on Paul as because she discovered that Paul was a schemer, a liar and a backstabber that couldn't be trusted. Other than gameplay, Dominique was also deeply moral and religious and she depended on her faith and her belief in God to get her far in the game. However, Paul was the opposite. Even though he's religious in the real world, he chose to forsake most of his morals and using his faith while playing the game making him come off as way more immoral in comparison to Dominique. \n** TheStarscream: Played Straight and Justified. Considering that Paul had backstabbed and betrayed Dominique, it's completely understandable why she wanted Paul out of the house. She felt like she had been betrayed by Paul when she discovered that he had been plotting to get her out much to her oblivion. Once she discovered this, her respect and loyalty for Paul turned into downright disdain and distrust. Not only did she no longer trust Paul but she went out of her way to warn everyone else and let them know that they also shouldn't trust Paul or have any loyalty to him because of the fact that he's such a schemer and a backstabber. Dominique's belief regarding Paul was that if he was willing to backstab her without a second though, what makes anyone think that he wouldn't backstab anyone else in the same fashion?\n* DrunkWithPower: Seriously believed that she was such a special person that God was solely trying to assist her in the game and help her to get to the end so that she could win. At the same time, she ended up turning against all of her allies and believed that she was superior to them once her game was officially blown up. \n* EgocentricallyReligious: Dominique took her use of her faith and religion in the game ''way too far'' to the point where she built up a God complex. She constantly brought up God while playing the game much to the annoyance of some of the other houseguests. Her obsession with her faith ended up causing her to lose her sense of logic and game sense. Dominique believed that the Lord and her faith were going to help her in the game and get to the end to win. She would also tout that God wanted her to win the game above everyone else and that as long as God was on her side, she would be just fine. One of the houseguests that was completely annoyed with Dominique constantly using her religion as a tool in the game was Paul. He had stated that he doesn't believe religion or faith have any place in this game and that religion should be off limits when it comes to playing Big Brother. \n* EtTuBrute: Dominique didn't take it well when she discovered that Paul, someone whom she had a lot of trust in and respect for, was the one who was plotting her demise. She was so angry about his betrayal that she ended up going after his character personally by suggesting that Paul was nothing more than a liar, a schemer, a manipulator and a snake. \n* FatalFlaw: Dominique had a few that led to her ultimate demise in the game:\n** Her [[HairTriggerTemper Anger]]. Dominique's biggest weakness sin the game was most definitely her inability to control her anger. She has let her emotions dictate her judgement and cloud her logic. One of the reasons why she became a fast target was because of her blowing up in anger at the other houseguests instead of calming trying to defuse the target that was placed on her back. Once she found out that the other houseguests had turned on her, she decided to play into the unfortunate stereotype of black women. She lashed out in anger at all of the other houseguests instead of using her power of communication or persuasion to convince the others to not target her and to get them to trust her once again. The unfortunate thing is that even though Dominque appears to be rational, calm, cool, and collected, she is very much a HotBlooded person with a HairTriggerTemper and she becomes easily provoked into anger and irritation. Once she gets angry, it's hard for her to calm down and use her sense of logic. The week that she was nominated showcased just how much of a temper she really has. She would angrily lash out at houseguests were simply trying to talk to her or communicate with her. She also went on endless angry, bitter tirades by herself and made no effort to try to fix her situation. Dominique had a few flaws while playing the game, but it can be argued that her anger and her inability to control her temper was most definitely biggest weakness. \n** Her [[TheFundamentalist Blind Faith]]. Dear GOD (no pun intended), if anything brought Dominique down in the game, it was her excessive need to constantly use her faith and religion in the game. There was never a time or instance in the house when Dominique wasn't bringing up God or her faith. She insisted on using her faith to determine her success in the game or her chances of getting to the end. She was also delusional enough to believe that God had an influence on who would win the game and that if she were to find herself in peril game wise, God would be there to ''save'' her or help her along the way and make sure that she wins. Because of Dominique's fanatical need to use her religion and her faith in the game, many of the other houseguests, such as Christmas, Elena, and especially Paul, have commented that her bringing up religion in the game is harmful and unnecessary and makes them uncomfortable. Paul has last out stated that he believes that God and religion have absolutely no place in a game for entertainment like Big Brother. He has bashed Dominique for constantly using her faith to get by in the game. Dominique's constant obsession with her faith managed to blind her to what was really important, which was playing the game without being clouded by personal matters such as religion. Dominique let her faith and her religion control her thoughts too much to the extent that she came across as delusional. It was almost as if Dominique was choosing to leave her fate in the game in the hands of the Lord instead of trying to actively determine her own path or destiny in the game herself. Although she could be a very strong, strategic player, her addiction to using God and religion and the delusions that came along with using her religion in the game managed to ruin any chances she had of making it far. Her blind faith also destroyed her social game as her constant fanatical preaching about God rubbed many of the houseguests the wrong way and turned them away from her. \n** Her [[{{Narcissist}} Egotism and Narcissism]]: Dominique was incredibly narcissistic in her attitude. She had a superiority complex in the game and felt that she was more deserving to be there because of her belief in God. With time, she grew more and more arrogant to the extent that she believed that God wanted her to be in the house so that he could get her to the end and make sure that she wins. Her constant preaching about how she's a woman of God and that it makes her a better person because of it reeked of serious narcissism and self idolization. Dominique developed a bit of an AGodAmI mentality. She believed that she was TheChosenOne of the house and that she was the only one that God was rooting for to win because of her belief in the Lord. Other houseguests were turned off by her egotistical behavior and frequently bashed Dominique for acting arrogant and self involved. Dominique also had a sense of superiority regarding her intelligence. She came off as arrogant regarding the fact that she was one of the smartest people in the house and she shows a sense of superiority by the way that she would talk down to some of the other houseguests. There's no doubt that while Dominique may be a generally nice person, she does have a seriously huge ego and she is incredibly self absorbed to the point of coming off as narcissistic. Her narcissistic and superior attitude managed to turn many of the houseguests off and it caused the target on her back to become exponentially larger. \n** Her [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity Extreme Views on Morality]]: Dominique has a very [[BlackAndWhiteMorality black and white]] view of morality. She has the belief that everyone is either all good or all bad and she doesn't seem to see things in the grey areas. Her black and white views are very apparent in how she perceives the other houseguests such as Paul. To her, Paul is an evil person that needs to be taken down no matter what. She fails to see or understand that Paul's actions in the game leaned more towards a grey area during that time. She failed to comprehend that Paul turning on Dominique had more to do with her own actions and that he was simply removing someone from the game that he perceived as a threat. Dominique took Paul's betrayal as a personal attack against her when it wasn't. She made a big deal about Paul playing the game and instead chose to personally attack him by calling him evil and a snake instead of trying to understand why Paul may have wanted to target her. Dominique also seems to place herself on a high pedestal of ultimate goodness. She held the firm belief that she was the ultimate BigGood of the house and that Paul was the ultimate BigBad of the house and all she wanted to do was bring down the evil force. Everything that Dominique perceived in the game was from a black and white perspective, but it could be thanks to her extreme religious views why she may hold such a strong black and white mentality or view of things.



* AGodAmI: Dominique seemed to have a serious Messiah or God complex and had consistently made an effort to enforce her faith and her religion in the game. Her extremism regarding her religion ended up clouding her logic in the game to the point where she believed that God Himself was influencing the game somehow and that He was helping her try to win. The other houseguests found her beliefs about God helping her in the game completely out there, bizarre, abnormal and strange. Paul had commented that Dominique was so delusional and crazy to believe that she was so special that God would be trying to help her in a game of Big Brother. By the week that she was on the block facing eviction because her game had royally blown up in her face, she was so delusional about her belief that God was sending her guidance during the game and was answering her prayers that it was evident that she had gone through some sort of SanitySlippage.
* GoodIsNotNice: Dominique is a NiceGirl most of the time and she's shown to be super kind, compassionate, caring, and empathetic towards everyone. However, even though she does have compassion for pretty much everyone, she won't always extend her kindness to those who don't deserve it, such as people who have betrayed her or people who cruel and mean spirited.

* GreenEyedMonster: Dominique was clearly jealous of Elena because she had Mark's undivided romantic attention. It's apparent that Dominique may have had more than friendly feelings for Mark but Mark clearly wasn't interested romantically in her and saw her as just his friend. Jealousy is the only reason why Dominique would be holding some type of petty grudge against Elena three months later and after the game is over.



* HotBlooded: Normally the OnlySaneWoman, but when she gets fired up or angry, better watch out because Dominique erupts into a volcano of fire, fury and passion. Also, once Dominique gets going and she's really fired up, she doesn't stop. It's safe to say that Dominique is a rather feisty, passionate and hot headed person if she's pushed too far.
* HystericalWoman: Many of the other houseguests had felt that Dominique was crazy or wasn't alright upstairs because she was extremely engulfed in her religion and the Lord while playing the game. She would constantly be preaching about how the Lord would help her in the game or save her whenever she found herself in trouble. Paul thought that Dominique was unhinged because she managed to bring up her faith almost every second of every day. Her mental state was in even bigger question during the week that she was put on the block and was the intended target to go home. She clearly went through a SanitySlippage after she was exposed for her sketchy behavior and gameplay. Once she was the target for the house, Dominique conducted very crazy and strange behavior. She ended up throwing everyone under the bus even those that she was close with, isolating herself from everyone, and constantly talking to herself about God and preaching about her faith.



* MagicalNegro: She would often appear as the OnlySaneWoman to her alliance and would provide her other alliance members, which mostly consisted of White people, with advice and logic about the game. It seemed as though Dominique's purpose in her alliance was to help her non-POC allies to advance their game further.



* VillainousBreakdown: Inverted, it's more of a martyr's breakdown. Dominique wasn't a villain or a bad guy at all, but she did suffer a major SanitySlippage and HeroicBSOD once she realized that she was the target to go home instead of Jessica. She realized that her entire alliance had turned on her because she had been acting very strangely in the game and they felt that they could no longer trust her. After she was nominated, Dominique had a mental and emotional breakdown and exhibited strange and crazy behavior such as isolating herself from everyone, throwing everyone (including her friends and allies) under the bus, and preaching constantly to herself about her faith and the Lord.

* BigBeautifulWoman: Downplayed. Jillian was slightly overweight while she was in the house but she was nowhere near fat or obese. Despite her weight struggles, Jillian was a very pretty and attractive girl with a pleasant personality to boot.



* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Despite some of her more irritating qualities–such as her naivety, her gullibility and her flightiness–Jillian is ultimately the nicest person. When you compare her character to the other houseguests, she's the epitome of goodness and kindness. Unfortunately, her goodness and kindness was taken advantage of and she was sent home for it. Even when things got bad, she never let her personality or character be corrupted by any dark force or influence. After all of the other houseguests had turned into complete train wreaks and many of them became villains who did a FaceHeelTurn due to becoming TheCorruptible to Paul, Jillian ended up being seen as the nicest person in the house filled with a bunch of horrible people. Let's not forget that Jillian was also wary of Paul and had warned other people about how dangerous and corrupting Paul and his influence would be on the other and she was completely right. It shows that she was not fooled by Paul and his manipulations from the start and that she never would be, unlike her friend Alex.

* KillTheCutie: Jillian was completely blindsided when she was evicted that she even ended up having a shocked expression along with a JawDrop. She couldn't believe that she was evicted and she expected Christmas to be the one that was going home. Even though she was evicted, it was still sad to see such a nice person-but one that was incredibly gullible and naive at the same time–be complete blindsided because she had thought that she was the one that was staying over Christmas. Even though Jillian was pretty much a non entity in regards to personality, she was still too nice to be blindsided like that, especially when one realizes that she was so much nicer than 90% of the rest of the cast who turned out to be such terrible people.

* ValleyGirl: Downplayed. Jillian dresses a little glitzy and has some airheaded moments, but she's by no means a drip.
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: If she's not in a cocktail dress, chances are Jillian's rocking a sexy swimsuit. It's worth noting Jillian lives in coastal Florida and has a Tijuana tattoo- she loves beaches.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Sent home at the end of the first week, receiving minimal screentime due to her status as a pawn. To drive the point home, she had '''zero''' diary rooms on her '''eviction episode'''. However, [[ThrowTheDogABone she has a chance at coming back.]] It gave her just a little bit more exposure, but she did the worst out of the four evictees. But at least she got a fiiine body shoot to remember her by in "Inked & Evicted".

* AlphaBitch: Downplayed and Subverted. According to the other houseguests, Megan was a bitch and she was extremely unlikeable. She didn't get along with any of the houseguests and she had a big attitude. Much of her poor behavior could be a FreudianExcuse as she did have PTSD. But her bitchiness and her bossy personality (at least before she had an emotional breakdown) turned many people off and rubbed everyone the wrong way. However, on the outside of the house, she doesn't seem to be a bitch and in fact, comes off as more of a NiceGirl who was just a victim in all of the misunderstanding that happened in the house.



* BigBeautifulWoman: Averted. Megan is overweight and is one of the larger set women of the season. However, she's not physically beautiful or attractive and she's much more of a Plain Jane who's a tomboy.
* TheBigGirl: Megan was one of the larger set women of the season. Not only was she larger set in terms of her physique but she was also one of the taller female houseguests as well. Most of the other women in the house have slimmer or slighter builds and they are much shorter in height. However, she subverts this trope because although she fits the trope physically (being a taller, larger set female), it's uncertain if she was a competitor since she didn't have a chance to show her competitiveness or athleticism due to quitting the game.
* TheBore: Played Straight. Megan was said to be extremely dull and boring according to the other houseguests. She didn't have much of a personality and she hated having fun while in the house. When the houseguests were having fun socializing with each other, Megan had told everyone to be quiet and stop having fun because she was trying to sleep. Does Megan not understand the concept of Big Brother is socializing and interacting with the other houseguests? Does [[GenreBlind she not realize that telling people to stop having fun and socializing with each other is a way to get yourself targeted early in the game]]? Not only did she not provide anything of substance or value in the game but her DR sessions were as monotonous, dull and boring as her personality was. Outside of the house, Megan is more of a contemplative and whimsical person.



* DespairEventHorizon: Megan ends up suffering a complete breakdown after she gets into arguments and confrontations with Alex, Jessica, Cody and Josh. Not to mention that Megan was completely disliked by the rest of the house and nobody liked her on a personal level. She loses hope that anyone would believe her regarding what happened about the Alex and Jessica situation and feels that she can't take all of the chaos that's surrounding her. As a result, Megan ends up breaking down in the DR and quits the game. It turned out that Megan broke down and quit the game because she has PTSD (due to being sexually assaulted by a man in the military and being a veteran in the military) and it was triggered by all of the excessive confrontation that was being hurled at her all at once.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Megan appeared to have not gotten along with any of the men in the house, mostly Josh and Cody. She made it clear that she didn't feel comfortable around them because they had been attacking her constantly and bullying her. Cody straight up told Megan to her face that he didn't like her while he was giving his nomination speech in front of the entire house during his nomination speech when he was nominating her. Megan didn't take Cody's comment against her very lightly and she bared a grudge against him. Josh also went on the track against Megan during the first HOH competition where he flat out told Megan that he didn't like her to her face because he thought that she was a snake and was untrustworthy in addition to feeling like Megan would target him if she got handed the HOH due to their group winning. Cody and Josh continued to personally attack Megan and bully her until she eventually couldn't take the bullying anymore and had a complete emotional and mental breakdown in the DR to the point where she quit and left the game. It was later revealed that Megan had a standoffish approach to many of the men in the house because they triggered her PTSD. It was also revealed that she was sexually assaulted in the military by male soldiers in the military and that is why she is wary around men in general. However, her opinions on men are contradictory since Megan stated in her pre season interviews that she prefers the company of men over women and even downright said that she can't stand the company of women or being around her making her come across as a FemaleMisogynist.
* DramaticIrony: When she left the game, Alex replaced her on the block, and the house didn't want her to go and were feeling sore about the "Panda" name-calling incident that made her into a fool. Instead, Jillian, the person put up as a pawn to get her out, was voted out.
* DumbBlonde: As seen in her military pictures, Megan's natural hair color without the dye is blonde. She is by no means stupid, but she qualifies for the trope due to making pestilent comments in the house that got thrown back in her face.

* HystericalWoman: It was evident that Megan was on the emotionally and mentally unstable side but it's justified since she suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. After getting into a fight with four different houseguests, Megan had a huge breakdown and ended up quitting the game due to her emotional instability and mental illness.



* TheLadette: Megan is very tomboyish. She seems to have a strong inclination to engage in more male dominated pastimes. She's also OneOfTheBoys and prefers to hang out with men over women mostly due to her experience in the military.



* NoSocialSkills: Megan was apparently highly anti social while she was in the house. According to Cody during his interview with Dominique, there was a situation when Megan had told the entire house while they were socializing and talking with each other to be quiet and stop talking just so that she could get some sleep. Cody, who isn't even the most sociable person himself, even admitted that Megan telling everyone to be quiet and stop socializing or having fun was one of the worst social moves in Big Brother history. Her lack of ability at getting along with some of the other houseguests also made her social game very weak. During the time she was in the house, she had gotten into fights, arguments, confrontations or disagreements with four different houseguests, Josh, Cody, Jessica, and Alex, in the first week alone. Josh called out Megan for being untrustworthy and being a snake. Cody straight up admitted to Megan while he nominated her that the reason he out her on the block was because he simply didn't like her on a personal level. Jessica grew to hate Megan because she was lying about her being a racist due to misconstruing something that Jessica had said about Alex--Megan mistakenly thought that Jessica called Jessica "Panda" (a racial slur word for someone of Chinese descent) when she actually called Alex "Pao Pao" due to her strong (mostly of a physical nature) similarities to past [=BB16=] houseguests Paola Shea. And Alex blew a gasket at Megan once she discovered that Megan was trying to destroy Jessica's reputation by making up a lie that she's racist and that she called her a racial slur word. Megan's social skills and social game was so terrible that everyone unanimously wanted her out. When Megan quit and left the game, everyone was relieved and somewhat pleased, even though there were some houseguests that felt compassion and sympathy for her situation. It's safe to say that overall, Megan had one of the worst social games of the entire season and she just did not fit in with this group at all right off the bat.
* OneOfTheBoys: Megan states in her pre season interview that she doesn't like to hang out with other women and she prefers the company of men over women. Her inclination to hanging out with men over women shows that she may be a FemaleMisogynist. Interestingly enough, Megan didn't really get along with any of the guys in the house, despite her preference of associating with men. Cody and Josh simply couldn't stand her and wanted her out of the house ASAP.



* ShellShockedVeteran: Megan suffers from PTSD after being sexually assaulted in the military. Incidents in the Big Brother house triggered Post-Traumatic symptoms. Megan is also one of two houseguests this season, the other being Cody, who have served in the military, and come out of it traumatized. Ironically, neither of them finds common ground through this shared aspect of their careers and end up disliking each other.
* TheSquadette: Megan is a classic tomboy who was a veteran in the military. Because she was surrounded by mostly men in the military, she's most definitely OneOfTheBoys who prefers the company of men over women and she even states as much in her pre-season interview.

* '''UnPerson''': She is outright '''gone''' from the festivities of the game even after leaving (it's quite possible the show is respecting her wishes by downplaying her presence on the show so nobody is given incentive to bother her in her personal life as she recuperates in counseling). She doesn't return for the Battle-Back Showdown or even show up on "Inked & Evicted" because she cut loose on her own volition. "Tales From Decrypt" also excludes Megan from the selection of evicted houseguest choices, because she technically walked off the competition. Sadder yet, when BB Comics Week rolls around, ''she doesn't even get a comic book cover.'' That's your cue, fan artists!! We need one of ''The Dog Walker'', PRONTO!!! Finally, poor Megan isn't even present for the finale, and Paul even goes as far as to say it was him against '''15''' other contestants, conspicuously omitting her (although he may be referring to Cameron, who went out before Paul had to work the house). Can we please just go give the poor woman a hug already and a ton of love?

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He's essentially the beta male to Cody's alpha male. Cameron knows how to find the learning curve at challenges and was really in the zone during the competitions in the Battle-Back Showdown. In Billboard Bashers, he initially had the advantage against Cody, but he lost his edge when he knocked out so many board panels it became hard to be precise. He lacked the stern focus Cody did to look at problem calmly and simply modify his launch power to a slow release to be more controlled. Instead, he started winging balls in the direction of the panels at aggressive speeds and overthought the issue.

Instead, he started winging balls in the direction of the panels at aggressive speeds and overthought the issue.



* DoomedMoralVictor: Cameron's own fault, in fact. He blew his chances for safety by throwing the challenge, then, sounding very awkward in front of everyone, couldn't do a thing to convince them to keep him around. The catcher? He was the only contestant this season who actually wanted to play the game for himself right from the beginning- like people really should do- and probably wouldn't have been taken in by Paul and could have kept the season from becoming "Big Paul" where competitions were thrown left and right, half the cast didn't even try to strategize because they were Paul's lapdogs, and practically everybody turned out to be worse off because of it. Cameron could have saved us from a season of misery at the hands of Paul. Or maybe not- Paul is so controlling and elevated onto a pedestal that nothing could have feasibly stood in his way after he got the Pendant of Protection.



* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He's very athletic but looks deceptively nerdy, and he realized the first people housemates often gun for are the athletes (as later seen with Christmas), so he played up to his unintimidating appearance and threw the first competition and ended up losing to Cody, [[DramaticIrony who chose to flaunt his athleticism]]. [[CheatersNeverProsper Cameron then got a poison apple that automatically put him on the eviction block.]] The people on the block got to choose to put their fate in the hands of the house or themselves. The others on the block were two girls who were cute and one not all that athletic (having recently undergone weight loss surgery) and the other being athletic but not wanting to display it just yet (ironically, she should have, as her fate in the game would be drastically changed by a devastating injury nearly two weeks later), so they both chose a vote while Cameron chose a competition. Since Cameron didn't have time to really bond with anybody, he was voted out simply for being unpopular. In other words, [[{{Irony}} the nerdy guy got voted out for pretending to act like more of a nerd than he actually was.]]



* TooDumbToLive: Cameron went into "Hit the Road" thinking it would be best not to show everybody he was a threat, but unlike the traditional two-part HOH opener, this one came with the risk of randomly going on the block as opposed to being nominated, and Cameron brought the wrong strategy to the table. He did the exact opposite of the situation that took place in Season 15 where three of the guys who stayed in the first competition the longest went out first back-to-back... and got screwed when he was one of the unlucky three next to Jillian and Christmas (whose run would only get unluckier as this would be one of her only times showing her athleticism before sustaining a broken foot) and lost his safety and was stuck campaigning against two pretty ladies to stay in the game.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: Subverted (inside of the house). While playing the game, Dom was one of the most well liked houseguests in the game. Every one liked her company and she was easily adapted into the largest alliance in the house at the beginning, the alliance being Cody's majority alliance that he created during his reign as HOH. Nobody was actively targeting her or wanted her to go home, even though she was someone that would eventually become a big threat because of how strong and smart she was. However, her popularity amongst the houseguests took a serious decline once she exposed her sneaky game play to the other houseguests. The houseguests turned against Dom when they caught onto her using her talk show interviews with other houseguests as a way of gaining intel or information from them and then eventually using that game info against others to benefit herself if she needs to later on. Paul started the Anti-Dominique campaign first but then eventually everyone else followed suit and turned on Dominique as well. On the week that she was nominated and was the intended target to go home, everyone shunned her and she was the most ostracized houseguest in the house. Nobody wanted to talk to her, be around her or even be in the same room as her. Dominique also became disliked by the other houseguests not just on a game level but on a person level because of the way Dominique acted while she was on the block. Her bitter, angry and petty attitude towards the others did nothing to help chance opinions about her and wanting to keep her in the game. So while Dominique was well liked and respected by the other houseguests from the start, her nosedive in both popularity and trust was pretty much her own fault because she played too hard and she displayed a negative attitude towards her fellow housemates.

** Her [[HairTriggerTemper Anger]]. Dominique's biggest weakness sin the game was most definitely her inability to control her anger. She has let her emotions dictate her judgement and cloud her logic. One of the reasons why she became a fast target was because of her blowing up in anger at the other houseguests instead of calming trying to defuse the target that was placed on her back. Once she found out that the other houseguests had turned on her, she decided to play into the unfortunate stereotype of the [[AngryBlackMan Angry Black Woman]]. She lashed out in anger at all of the other houseguests instead of using her power of communication or persuasion to convince the others to not target her and to get them to trust her once again. The unfortunate thing is that even though Dominque appears to be rational, calm, cool, and collected, she is very much a HotBlooded person with a HairTriggerTemper and she becomes easily provoked into anger and irritation. Once she gets angry, it's hard for her to calm down and use her sense of logic. The week that she was nominated showcased just how much of a temper she really has. She would angrily lash out at houseguests were simply trying to talk to her or communicate with her. She also went on endless angry, bitter tirades by herself and made no effort to try to fix her situation. Dominique had a few flaws while playing the game, but it can be argued that her anger and her inability to control her temper was most definitely biggest weakness.

According to Cody during his interview with Dominique, there was a situation when Megan had told the entire house while they were socializing and talking with each other to be quiet and stop talking just so that she could get some sleep. Cody, who isn't even the most sociable person himself, even admitted that Megan telling everyone to be quiet and stop socializing or having fun was one of the worst social moves in Big Brother history. Her lack of ability at getting along with some of the other houseguests also made her social game very weak. During the time she was in the house, she had gotten into fights, arguments, confrontations or disagreements with four different houseguests, Josh, Cody, Jessica, and Alex, in the first week alone. Josh called out Megan for being untrustworthy and being a snake. Cody straight up admitted to Megan while he nominated her that the reason he out her on the block was because he simply didn't like her on a personal level. Jessica grew to hate Megan because she was lying about her being a racist due to misconstruing something that Jessica had said about Alex--Megan mistakenly thought that Jessica called Jessica "Panda" ( a racial slur word for someone of Chinese descent) when she actually called Alex "Pao Pao" due to her strong (mostly of a physical nature) similarities to past [=BB16=] houseguests Paola Shea. And Alex blew a gasket at Megan once she discovered that Megan was trying to destroy Jessica's reputation by making up a lie that she's racist and that she called her a racial slur word. Megan's social skills and social game was so terrible that everyone unanimously wanted her out. When Megan quit and left the game, everyone was relieved and somewhat pleased, even though there were some houseguests that felt compassion and sympathy for her situation. It's safe to say that overall, Megan had one of the worst social games of the entire season and she just did not fit in with this group at all right off the bat.

* '''PoorCommunicationKills''': Because of Megan's misunderstanding with Alex/Jessica over the "Panda"/"Pao Pao" scenario, she ended up leaving the game before the first week was even complete. And it was an honest mistake; Megan thinks she heard somebody, perhaps not even Alex, use the term "Panda", but realizes she may have been hearing things.

Rant Inducing Slight is now a disambig.


* RantInducingSlight: Her downfall. She made a comment about Jessica nicknaming Alex that travelled around the house and suffered bastardization through the telephone effect until it reached back and sounded like Megan was spreading rumors that Jessica was being racist towards Asians. It blew up in her face and drove her into a tearful state of brokenness that led to her leaving the game, and even though Alex tried to make amends, the damage was already done.

Misuse per ATT thread


* {{Expy}}: Jessica looks and acts a lot like Brittany Martinez from ''Big Brother 16'', only with the agression cranked UpToEleven.



* {{Expy}}: A very strong one of [[Characters/BigBrother8 Jameka Cameron]] from ''Big Brother 8''. Both are deeply religious Black women with a habit of [[SassyBlackWoman going fiery when pushed hard enough]], and their apparent naiveté is easily exploitable.

Hollywood Nerd is now a disambiguation. Zero Context Examples will be removed


* HollywoodNerd: Cameron is a bonafide nerd who's smart and intelligent, but he's definitely not unattractive by any means. In fact, he's visibly attractive for someone who's as nerdy as he is. He also has the potential to be quite handsome without his NerdGlasses.

trope merge


* BastardGirlfriend: Averted for the most part. Although Jessica is a [[AlphaBitch major bitch]] to everyone else and doesn't treat the majority of the other houseguests in a nice manner. On the other hand, she treats Cody the best out of everyone but it's understandable considering that he's her romantic partner. Despite this, she does have her incredibly bitchy, hostile and catty moments with Cody and she can be very manipulative, combative and argumentative towards him especially when she doesn't get her way with him. Cody even stated to Mark that he finds Jessica controlling, bossy and domineering at times and he doesn't like the way she treats him sometimes.

Meganekko is no longer a trope. It's a Fanspeak term. Moving wicks to Bespectacled Cutie when appropriate.


* {{Meganekko}}: Dominique can be seen wearing glasses from time to time, which definitely emphasizes her BrainyBrunette, TheSmartGirl and BlackAndNerdy status.
