* CoolLoser: Personality wise, Mark is nice, compassionate, kind, and caring. Physically, he's a {{Hunk}} and a MrFanservice to boot. So one would expect that someone as nice and attractive as Mark would belong with the majority alliance or group of the house. However, it's the opposite. Mark is often treated as an outsider because of who he was originally aligned with since the start of the game (Cody and Jessica). Even after his alliance with Cody dissipated, Mark still chose to have a degree of UndyingLoyalty to him, even though Cody had repeatedly thrown Mark under the bus.

* TheDarkChick: Elena is TheDragon for Paul and she had a degree of loyalty to him as the main villain or BigBad. For that, she was aligned with the bad side of the house. She also [[FemmeFatale likes to use her sexuality and her feminine wiles to manipulate men]] and get them to do what she wants. She's also not above backstabbing or manipulating other people.

* AnythingThatMoves: Makes eyes at whatever meets her fancy. And it doesn't matter if the person is [[AmbiguouslyBi male or female]] either.

* BigGood: Other than Kevin, Mark could be the closest person to be seen as this trope. He's kind, caring, empathetic, compassionate and he's probably the most noble houseguest of the season. He does serve as a MoralityPet to many of the other houseguests who are morally ambiguous in nature. However, overall, Mark does seem to fit the characteristics of TheHero better.

* TheHero: Out of everyone in this cast that's mostly filled with either BigBad's, AntiVillain's, and AntiHeroes, Mark is the closest thing to a classic hero archetype this season. Considering that out of everyone, he's stayed true to his morals and values the most out of everyone shows that he has a highly noble and good character.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: Mark is TheHero of the season and he's also a decent person, but he's ostracized and left out by the rest of the houseguests. Much of the distrust or disdain that the others have towards Mark has to do with the fact that he was aligned with Cody, who was hated in the game. The other houseguests seem to have an issue with separating Mark from his association with Cody. Being aligned with Cody caused the other houseguests to state that they feel Mark is exactly like Cody because of the degree of UndyingLoyalty that he has towards him and how Mark is always defending Cody and his poor behavior.

* AllTakeAndNoGive: How Cody saw his relationship with Alex (and to a lesser extent, Jason). Cody has stated in his Exit Interview after he was evicted on Double Eviction that he tried to protect Alex and save Jason in the game. He even stated to Alex's face that because he threw his game away for her, she should consider trusting him and having some loyalty to him. However, Cody felt that Alex was completely ungrateful for what he tried to do for her.

* AmazonChaser: Cody likes, respects and is drawn to Alex because he loves that she is a [[ActionGirl fierce competitor]] who [[TheDeterminator won't back down from a fight]].

* ArchEnemy: He and Paul never got along from Day 1. It got to the point where both men want each other out. While Cody might not like Paul, he at least seems to have some respect for him as a competitor, even going so far as to call him a fellow "alpha." Josh, however, he flat out ''loathes''.
** Josh also seems to be an arch enemy of his considering Josh voted to evict Jillian instead of Christmas. This further plays when Josh tries to make peace with Cody, and Cody simply pushes him away. Josh's childish tantrums don't seem to please Cody either.

* BadBoss: While he was HOH in Week 1, he was shown to be a terrible leader to his alliance members. He refused to communicate with them about his plans, acted selfishly, and backstabbed two of his alliance members. Cody's actions as the leader in the first week caused him to lose credibility among not just his own allies but the entire house. Cody was very mean spirited, unnecessarily rude and came across as TheBully to some of the other houseguests such as Megan and Josh.

* BattleCouple: Along with Jessica as she is his romantic partner and number one ally in the game. It was the two of them against the rest of the house and they had to fight and compete to stay in the game for as long as they could. Both were solid competitors and they won stuff when they had to to ensure their safety. Unfortunately for them, they were too outnumbered to survive together in the game.
* BeardOfSorrow: After Cody had returned to the game after winning the Battle Back competition, Cody stopped shaving and Jessica noticed it. At the time that he was growing facial hair, he and Jessica were being targeted and going through a rough time. Cody growing a minor beard was a sign that he was stressed and unhappy with his and Jessica's situation in the game. Before that, Cody was always clean shaven.
* BeautyIsBest: Out of all of the attributes that Jessica has, Cody constantly emphasizes her physical beauty as being the best thing about her. Although he does acknowledge that he likes her personality as well. But he admits that the way that she looked was the most important key factor that attracted him to Jessica.

** Josh's very existence. Every time Josh starts complaining about being mistreated by Cody, Cody accuses him of PlayingTheVictimCard and starts spitting venom. Even the mere mention of Josh's name is enough to set him off. At one point, Cody is so frustrated with Josh that [[UnPerson he tells Josh he doesn't exist to him anymore.]]

* BeyondTheImpossible: Cody ended up voting for ''[[ArchEnemy Josh]]'' instead of Paul, just because he respected Josh's game more. This is the guy who threatened to destroy Josh outside of the house, and even Josh himself expected Cody to vote against him. This also happened to be the final vote and the one that confirmed that Josh won the game.

* CannotSpitItOut: As their relationship was burgeoning, Cody had trouble giving Jess a straight "I love you" and would often pull a LastSecondWordSwap until he finally worked up the nerve to tell her for real. Justified, because he has an ex out there and a lot of bitter memories of rejection.

* ConsummateLiar: Cody just simply cannot tell the truth regarding himself. He's lied about his personal life so many times that many of the houseguests think that he has multiple personalities because there doesn't seem to be any truth to what he says about himself. He's lied about numerous things that are mostly personal in nature such as his age (said he was 27 when he was really 32), the year he graduated from high school (said he graduated in 2008 when he really graduated in 2003), how many years he served in the military (said that he served 4 or 6 years in the military when he actually served 10 years), his birth order in his family (he told Jessica he's the oldest child of four but he's actually not because he has an older brother named Dillan that died in a motorcycle accident six years ago), about the fact that his very young nephew Dillan was named after his later older brother, and lied about having a five year old daughter named Paisley (he was even hesitant to let Jessica know that he had a daughter). Nobody trusts him because he lies so much despite his BrutalHonesty when it comes to expressing how he feels about situations or the other houseguests. Paul even stated to the rest of the house that he couldn't name one factual piece of information about Cody because he has lied about his personal life so many times and none of the stories or facts that he's said about himself add up.

* DespairEventHorizon: In the later weeks of the game, especially in Week 6 and 7, Cody comes to realize that he made a lot of major mistakes in the game. After Jessica leaves, he seems to lose all hope of ever believing that he could win and make it to the end. Once he knows that he's going to be backdoored by Alex, he [[TheAloner spends all his time alone]] in the Have Not room and refuses to socialize with the other houseguests. Much of his hopelessness in the game is self inflicted and is a result of the bad choices he made in the game.

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Cody eating Alex's entire box of cereal just to spite her over a game move did nothing to help Cody's position in the house or the other houseguests' perceptions of him. The funny thing is, Alex wanted Elena out over Cody and was going to try to persuade the house to vote out Elena over Cody but Cody just had to screw up the chances to save himself by acting petty over Alex.

* EvilVersusEvil: For the majority of the season, it's been Paul vs. Cody. The two are an ArchEnemy to each other and have spent the entire game plotting to take each other out of the game. At the start, Paul and Cody were in an alliance together but Cody tried to get rid of Paul and he dramatically failed to do so. Since then, there's been a huge lack of trust between the two and Paul and Cody were each other's number one target. Between the two of them, Paul won the battle as Cody was evicted for the second time in Week 7.

* FreudianSlip: After his second eviction, he accidentally infers that he wants to marry Jessica, but quickly backs away from the idea this soon. Julie lampshades this by saying Jessica is probably [[{{Squee}} screaming]] at home after hearing this. And the Instagrammers lay it all out there for her to know during her livestream.

* {{Gasshole}}: Cody is very gassy and he's constantly burping and farting on the live feeds. Even the other houseguests were frequently complaining about how much Cody farts and how disgusting it is that he does it all over the house.

* SelectiveObliviousness: Cody repeatedly stated that he respects, admires and trusts Alex and he was desperate to align with her. However, she's also the same person that bold faced told him that she planned on nominating him and the other couples. That still didn't stop Cody from trying to align with Alex and get her on his side even though she had told him that he was one of her targets. Cody seemed like he was in denial about Alex for the entire game and just didn't want to admit that she didn't have any loyalty to him.

* BigEater: Elena eats a lot and she eats her food in large portions and quantities. When Elena was eating a very large bowl of ice cream, Josh had commented how much ice cream she was eating and all she said in response was that she didn't care and to not judge her for her extreme eating habits.
* CantSpitItOut: Elena simply couldn't admit that she had feelings for Mark. Instead, she chose to say that Mark wasn't her type (which was true) or that she didn't want to get involved with anyone while playing the game. But looking back at it, it was obvious that Elena was using it as an excuse to not admit how she really felt about Mark. She does eventually confess her feelings for Mark once they are both out of the game and are in the jury house. They eventually become an OfficialCouple and manage to make a go of their relationship outside of the house.

* NotGoodWithPeople: After all, Cody has NoSocialSkills and he prefers to be alone for the majority of the time. Even when he is interacting with others, he's treating them in a hostile manner or he's extremely awkward.

* BareYourMidriff: Like many of the other female houseguests, she wears tops and shirts that show off her stomach area or midriff. Part of what makes her a MsFanservice.

* MsFanservice: Elena likes to show off her body in revealing clothing and is conventionally attractive.

* CassandraTruth: In the jury house, having blown their chances at winning the game, Elena finally recognizes that Cody's decision to target Christmas was right, and had the house not evicted Jillian, they might still be in the game right about now, and Cody is not as much of a jerk as he appears to be.

* ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Cody, who is TheStoic and a major {{Jerkass}}, can't help but have high admiration and respect for Alex, because she has no problem challenging him. In the very first week when Alex and Cody were the last two left competing in the Safety Competition, Cody tried to use manipulation and reverse psychology in order to get Alex to throw the competition to him. Alex didn't fall for it and instead told him "No offense, but I hope you eat shit." Cody found this humorous and he bared one of the few genuine smiles that was ever seen in the game.

* ShellShockedVeteran: Apparently most of his Jerkass behavior comes from being an ex-military man. Not an excuse but still.

* AntiHero: She can flip flop between being a darker example of this and AntiVillain. Elena is much more on the Anti-Heroine side considering she is mostly nice but she can also has her AlphaBitch traits. As an Anti-Heroine, she's Type II (a KnightInSourArmor). On the AntiVillain side, she is Type I (a NobleDemon) and Type III (a WellIntentionedExtremist). She's a NobleDemon because although she can be bitchy and catty at times, she's also capable of stepping back and not getting personal in the game unless she is provoked into it. She's a WellIntentionedExtremist because she has the potential to become ruthless in order to progress her game and she has a IDidWhatIHadToDo mentality.

* BetaBitch: Along with Raven to Jessica's AlphaBitch earlier on in the game. Elena felt a loyalty to Jessica because they were both in showmances and therefore had a degree of UndyingLoyalty to each other.

* TheDarkChick: Elena is TheDragon for Paul and she had a degree of loyalty to him as the main villain or BigBad. For that, she was aligned with the bad side of the house. She considered to be a bad guy because of which side of the house she was aligned with and because she had a very {{Alpha Bitch}}y, catty personality. She also [[FemmeFatale likes to use her sexuality and her feminine wiles to manipulate men]] and get them to do what she wants. She's also not above backstabbing other people and she is also a ManipulativeBitch that gets off on manipulating others with no guilt or remorse.
* DeadpanSnarker: Elena is extremely snarky and sarcastic and she often uses dry wit to get her point across. She's the IceQueen who passes herself off as someone who doesn't get her feelings hurt that easily. If someone so much as attacks her or comes after her, don't expect this girl to start crying or shedding any tears of sadness. Expect her to spout off endless sarcastic and snarky comments that are biting and edgy in nature.

* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Elena has mentioned that she has a love of drinking alcohol. She even said that once she is out of the game, she is going to go on a major drinking bender so that she will drown her sorrows. Elena is also a heavy party girl and loves to socialize which means that she loves to get drunk as well.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her catty ways and her selfish attitude, she's still a NiceGirl and LovableAlphaBitch. She's shown to be loyal and caring to those she considers to be her friends.

* RichBitch: According to some of the other houseguests, she comes from a wealthy family. Other houseguests have commented that she's also very high maintenance and that she lives an expensive life. Alex had even noted that Elena drives an Audi, which is known to be an expensive car.

* TheSnarkKnight: Elena is constantly making snarky comments, whether it's towards other people, herself or situations. She's the DeadpanSnarker and can never go a time without making a sarcastic comment. She doesn't seem to be aware however that because she is constantly using sarcasm to get her point across, nobody can really tell when she's being serious or heartfelt about something. Her endless use of sarcasm and being snarky has caused people to think that she's a major bitch who's an IceQueen and an AlphaBitch that simply does't care about anything or anyone.

* [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys All Guys Want Bad Girls]]: His attraction to Elena is highly questionable at best considering how heroic, kind and good hearted Mark is and how bitchy, catty and mean Elena is. Elena is the opposite of Mark when it comes to morals, values and personality. Mark is the stereotypical NiceGuy and LovableJock while Elena is the stereotypical DumbBlonde AlphaBitch. Elena appears to be a GoldDigger who has a desire to date men for their bank account while Mark is more humble about financial matters. Elena also uses her sexuality to get by and doesn't have an issue with using manipulation to get what she wants. Mark doesn't seem to realize that much of Elena's SouthernBelle persona is nothing more than a facade to hide the fact that she's a major BitchInSheepsClothing who's not really a NiceGirl, a FemmeFatale who uses sexuality to entice men, and a ManipulativeBitch who is highly cunning.

* BeingGoodSucks: Mark has been one of the nicest houseguests of the season and has treated everyone with common decency and respect (unless [[BewareTheNiceOnes someone crossed him, attacked him or betrayed him]]. Unfortunately for him, being a decent and nice person hasn't managed to help salvage his game as he's become one of the bigger targets in the house. However, the biggest reason Mark became such a huge target had more to do with his association with [[{{Jerkass}} Cody]] than about him being a good, nice person. Mark has said that he has problems with acting ruthless and aggressive or having to lie and step on others in order to progress himself in the game.

* TheDogBitesBack: When Josh came after him with the pots and pans, Mark RAGED to life with an unbelievably loud voice and grabbed one of the pots and lifted it over his head, causing him to flinch, and the live feed to be interrupted. It is later revealed during the TV show proper that this is when the Powers-That-Be took a moment to break up the fight and Mark went into the Diary Room (with Josh STILL antagonizing him) and the houseguests believing Mark had gotten himself expelled. However, Mark knew what not to do and only made a reach for the pans, never laying hands on Josh himself because the show has cameras to prove when people get physical and could use it against him. During a long cooling off in the red room, Mark later remarked to Cody that Josh flinched just like the bitch he is, and Cody praised Mark for it.
