History Characters / BigBrother23

* JerkassToOne: Is a sweet person overall and very much a NiceGirl, but she gets very catty about Hannah behind her back and even used her one HOH reign to make sure she got evicted when Xavier and Kyland were both bigger threats.

* NoTrueScotsman: Makes it clear that she doesn’t want Hannah in the Cookout alliance, an alliance meant to guarantee Big Brother’s first black winner, because she’s half black half Indian rather than fully black. She spends the first half of the game referring to the alliance as “The Cookout plus Hannah”, and even afterward seems to only begrudgingly tolerate her presence in the group. She doesn’t extend this same attitude to Kyland though, who is half black half Mexican, likely because he was there for the group’s original formation and not a later addition.

* PetTheDog: Her wanting to keep Derek X over Claire could be seen as this, despite intending to use him to win competitions, though ultimately she cast her vote to evict him.

* NiceGirl: One of the nicest people this season. Though she gets progressively cutthroat as the game goes on, once in the jury house, she was able to show her true colors to her fellow houseguests. Even Tiffany, who was suspicious of Sarah Beth in the beginning, was able to change [[https://twitter.com/melbrown000/status/1443533576037875728 her opinion on her.]] It's telling when most people blamed her poor gameplay and mean moments on Kyland.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Even when it became abundantly clear that Xavier was the biggest threat in the house, he still chose to target Tiffany and Hannah during his third HOH reign instead. The reason? He apparently saw Xavier as his only WorthyOpponent and wanted to take him to the end. [[UnderStatement One small problem...]] getting Tiffany OR Hannah evicted ''guaranteed'' the jury would have all voted against him and caused him to lose. Britini already considered him an ArchEnemy for being responsible for her eviction, Derek X and Claire were good friends with both Tiffany and Hannah during the game and he would have almost certainly earned their ire for evicting one of them, Tiffany and/or Hannah themselves would have shared that ire as well, and Alyssa had already made it clear that she was both rooting for Xavier and wanted Kyland to lose. With Sarah Beth and possibly one or two of the last jurors as his only possible jury votes in that scenario, it was extremely evident that he could not win this way. Still, he believed that saving his biggest competition for last was a good gameplay move.

** TheLoad: What he actually is, as he won a whopping ''zero'' challenges all season, and the only reason he made it to the final two was because he was easy to beat.

** TheLoad: What he actually is.

* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: Barely plays the game at all yet makes it to the final two due to Xavier wanting to keep him and Azah as easy final opponents to beat. Unlike Azah however, he is ''not'' self-aware about this and actually thinks he did a lot, hence SmallNameBigEgo above.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Eventually subverted. At the beginning she was the only popular Joker, proved by the fan polls, though that was likely due to the fact that Britini and Derek F were despised by fans. After proving to be TheLoad to the Cookout alliance along with being a {{Jerkass}} to Hannah, Azah ended up becoming disliked along with Derek F and ironically BRITINI became the popular one.
* TookALevelInBadass: She beat Xavier of all people during the Double eviction.

** He once again needlessly diminishes Hannah’s accomplishments at the Jury roundtable by saying that she and Derek F played “equal games” despite Hannah very clearly doing more for the Cookout and having obviously worked much harder at the game than Derek F. Alyssa’s baffled reaction to the absurdity of this statement even became a meme.

* AffablyEvil: He is definetly nice and friendly to everyone in the house for the most part. However, he still isn't afraid to lie, scheme and plot their demise.
* AFatherToHisMen: For the most part, up until the Final 6, Xavier treated his alliance like Family, and even regrets getting rid of Alyssa crying genuine tears when she was evicted.

* GentleGiant: Easily one of the nicer guys in the house, a part of the Cookout, and is friends with just about everyone. But while Frenchie made deals he had to go back on, Derek F has yet to truly anger anyone in the house except Tiffany, and is sitting pretty between two alliances. At least on the live shows, on the feeds he is [[NiceCharacterMeanActor much nastier]]. Even on the live shows he subverts this by misogynistic comments towards Tiffany, Hannah, and Claire as well as other female houseguests.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Basically guaranteed Xavier was not only going to win, but win unanimously by his puzzling dumb misogynist comments and told Azah to her face he didn't want to take her.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Thought he did more for the Cookout than any of the women in the group and that he was one of the crucial pieces to its success, despite barely doing anything for most of the game. He also was worried about being seen as a threat for coming in ''second'' during a veto competition.

* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: Barely plays the game at all yet makes it to the final three due to Xavier wanting to keep him and Azah as easy final opponents to beat. Unlike Azah however, he is ''not'' self-aware about this and actually thinks he did a lot, hence SmallNameBigEgo above.

* TokenGoodTeammate: The only popular Joker thanks to the fan polls though this is likely due to the fact Britini and Derek F are despised by fans. Now Azah is despised along with Derek F and ironically BRITINI is the popular one.
* TookALevelInBadass: She beat Xavier of all people during the Double eviction who was not throwing the competition.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Even when it becomes abundantly clear that Xavier is the biggest threat in the house, he still chooses to target Tiffany and Hannah during his third HOH reign instead. The reason? He apparently sees Xavier as his only WorthyOpponent and wants to take him to the end. [[UnderStatement One small problem...]] getting Tiffany OR Hannah evicted ''guarantees'' the jury will all vote against him and cause him to lose. Britini already considers him an ArchEnemy for being responsible for her eviction, Derek X and Claire were good friends with both Tiffany and Hannah during the game and he will almost certainly earn their ire for evicting one of them, Tiffany and/or Hannah themselves will share that ire as well, and Alyssa has already made it clear that she is both rooting for Xavier and wants Kyland to lose. With Sarah Beth as his only possible jury vote in this scenario, it’s extremely evident that he cannot win this way. Still, he believes that saving his biggest competition for last is a good gameplay move.

* OutOfFocus: After his first HOH reign ended, he hasn’t got much focus in the episodes. This changed after his second Head of Household reign.

** Xavier may not be the nicest person game-wise, but telling him ''to his face'' he was a poor role model for his nephew and refusing to back down when questioned about it, which nearly led to Xavier's expulsion too.

* AlphaBitch: Very rude and catty now.

* TheCutie: She serves as this season's archetype, being friendly, positive, and cute as a button. Or so that's what people thought...
** TheFakeCutie: What she actually is, showing NoSympathy for Derek X, smashing a razor on the live feeds, and treating everyone who's not Kyland like crap.

* PuppetQueen: Her HOH reign was ''exactly'' what the Cookout wanted and with Derek X gone, she is most likely the next target.
* NiceGirl: One of the nicest people this season. Even when she bullies Derek Xiao, the most beloved houseguest, she quickly becomes his friend though that doesn't stop him from putting her up. This changed after her catty side began to show with Kyland getting into her head.

!!Current Houseguests

[[folder: Azah Awasum]]

!''Azah Awasum''
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Spends most of the season pining for Xavier, but he never shows any signs of reciprocating those feelings.
* GrewASpine: After being very passive and letting most insensitive comments from her friends slide throughout the game, she does finally call out Derek F near the end when he tries to claim that [[SmallNameBigEgo he]] [[{{Hypocrite}} “carried”]] her to the end.
* JerkassToOne: Is a sweet person overall and very much a NiceGirl, but she gets very catty about Hannah behind her back and even used her one HOH reign to make sure she got evicted when Xavier and Kyland were both bigger threats.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Azah's relative was a polygamist, resulting in her having around three hundred relatives.
* NoTrueScotsman: Makes it clear that she doesn’t want Hannah in the Cookout alliance, an alliance meant to guarantee Big Brother’s first black winner, because she’s half black half Indian rather than fully black. She spends the first half of the game referring to the alliance as “The Cookout plus Hannah”, and even afterward seems to only begrudgingly tolerate her presence in the group. She doesn’t extend this same attitude to Kyland though, who is half black half Mexican, likely because he was there for the group’s original formation and not a later addition.
* TenderTears: Azah's an [[NiceGirl empathetic person]], and she was genuinely upset when Britini got targeted by Tiffany and Derek X in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVuDoI01hBE Balancing the Math]] and was then put on the block two weeks in a row. She shed tears even when [[CryIntoChest giving Britini a shoulder to cry on.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: The only popular Joker thanks to the fan polls though this is likely due to the fact Britini and Derek F are despised by fans. Now Azah is despised along with Derek F and ironically BRITINI is the popular one.
* TookALevelInBadass: She beat Xavier of all people during the Double eviction who was not throwing the competition.
* TookALevelInJerkass: While her confidence noticeably increasing toward the end of the game is mostly seen as a good thing, it does lead to a few moments where she comes across as a legitimate {{Jerkass}}. The most notable being when she mocks how scared Hannah looked before her eviction, even though Azah was the one who put Hannah on the block to begin with and the feeds show that Hannah never really did anything to Azah to deserve this antagonism.
* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: Barely plays the game at all yet makes it to the final three due to Xavier wanting to keep her and Derek F as easy final opponents to beat. To her credit however, she is humorously self-aware about it, and jokes during her speech on the block during final four that she and Derek F “cried, cooked, and napped” their way to final four.

[[folder: Xavier Prather]]

!''Xavier Prather''

* AffablyEvil: He is definetly nice and friendly to everyone in the house for the most part. However, he still isn't afraid to lie, scheme and plot their demise.
* AFatherToHisMen: For the most part, up until the Final 6, Xavier treated his alliance like Family, and even regrets getting rid of Alyssa crying genuine tears when she was evicted.
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' say he is a bad uncle to his nephew. Kyland learned the hard way.
* BigBadDuumvirate: While not an obvious villain like Kyland, he was nonetheless seen as one of the main antagonists to the fan favorite houseguests like Tiffany, Hannah, and Claire along with their fans. His ability to always be in a safe position no matter what, even when on the block, made him come across as an InvincibleVillain to these houseguests more or less. Kyland even tried to cash in on this by making a final two deal with him [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou and went so far as to save Xavier at several points to make this happen]], except Xavier [[PragmaticVillainy just cut him at final four for an easier win]].
* ConvictedByPublicOpinion: Pulls this on Tiffany to get her evicted. When she gets put in a bad spot and has no choice but to either evict her best friend Claire or a Cookout member, Xavier uses the uncertainty of the situation to convince the other Cookout members that she’s probably going to betray them and stirs up drama about how she’s untrustworthy. Tiffany doesn’t end up betraying them after all, and she sends Claire home, but Xavier being so adamant on treating the situation as a betrayal anyway convinces Derek F, Azah, and Kyland to turn on her despite her clearly not betraying them. Pragmatically it was a smart way to knock out his biggest competitor within the Cookout, but morally it could be considered the most evil move he made in the game.
* {{Expy}}: He's got a lot in common with Dan Ghesling and especially Derrick Levasseur, namely creating an alliance with the number one target in the house for insurance in the off chance he doesn't win Final 3. Not only that, but just like Derrick and Dan, he actively throws competitions and then when the kid gloves come off, is a force to be reckoned with, having won Final 4 HOH being 4 minutes ahead in a mental challenge of Kyland. He's also technically the mastermind behind the Cookout, despite Tiffany, Kyland and Hannah doing his dirty work.
* IconicOutfit: Usually seen in a bucket hat.
* InLoveWithTheMark: When he needed to partner up with Alyssa to help blindside and evict her for the Cookout mission, he got very attached to her and even started trying to think of ways to make her an honorary Cookout member to keep her longer in the game than he was supposed to. While this is partly because the move would have [[PragmaticVillainy helped keep him even more secure for longer in the game]], he was nonetheless clearly attached to her as a person too, and actually cried once it was time for her eviction.
* KickTheDog: When Tiffany wins her second HOH and Alyssa gets veto, Xavier immediately assumes that Tiffany is going to betray the Cookout and turns the group against her. When Tiffany in fact doesn’t betray the Cookout and instead sends Claire home for them, he remains [[UngratefulBastard ungrateful]] and still goes ahead with getting everyone to turn on her and get her out anyway.
* MoralityPet: His nephew named after Kobe Bryant. Kyland learned [[TranquilFury the hard way]] not to bring his nephew into conversations after his eviction.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Like Derek F, Derek X, and Hannah this is ZigZagged. Some people call him Xavier like Julie and especially Tiffany, but mostly everyone else calls him "X".
* ThePawnsGoFirst: Played this trope to his benefit. While he and Tiffany were the ones who masterminded the Cookout, and he did befriend Alyssa to help blindside and evict her, he also didn’t get his hands dirty as much as Tiffany, Kyland, or Hannah. While those three were focused on dealing with players outside of their group to ensure the Cookout’s success, Xavier instead mainly focused on his friendships with Derek F and Azah. The end result was that, once only the Cookout remained, Xavier ended up with two loyal allies protecting him and going along with all of his decisions, while his biggest competition were left without strong support groups and were vulnerable to him and his two very loyal followers.
* PetTheDog: When Azah makes fun of Hannah for looking scared before her eviction, Xavier is disapproving. In fact, it does seem that he genuinely did see Hannah as a little sister to some extent and that he does sincerely care about her.
* TheSocialExpert: If there's anyone out there in the game who can manipulate things to his advantage with none being the wiser, and easily able to reassure and do damage control better than anyone else in the final four, it's X.
* TheSmartGuy: Is a lawyer.
* PromotedFanboy: While many of the cast are fans of Big Brother to an extent, he's been an active fan since the early seasons, citing Danelle Reyes and Dr. Will as his favorites, and teaching Kyland about the game.
[[/folder]]

* FatBastard/FatIdiot: He is the fattest houseguest this season as well being rather rude and idiotic due to his misogynistic comments and constantly saying that he did a lot for the alliance, but he actually didn't do anything.

* TheChessmaster: She came up with the cookout's main strategy, which is to nominate cookout members with someone outside of the alliance in order to keep their alliance hidden. This strategy worked in her favour and she managed to successfully keep the cookout hidden till they were the only ones left.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Even when it becomes abundantly clear that Xavier is the biggest threat in the house, he still chooses to target Tiffany and Hannah during his third HOH reign instead. The reason? He apparently sees Xavier as his only WorthyOpponent and wants to take him to the end. [[UnderStatement One small problem...]] getting Tiffany OR Hannah evicted ''guarantees'' the jury will all vote against him and cause him to lose. Britini already considers him an ArchEnemy for being responsible for her eviction, Derek X and Claire were good friends with both Tiffany and Hannah during the game and he will almost certainly earn their ire for evicting one of them, Tiffany and/or Hannah themselves will share that ire as well, and Alyssa has already made it clear that she both wants Xavier to win and Kyland to lose. With Sarah Beth as his only possible jury vote in this scenario, it’s extremely evident that he cannot win this way. Still, he believes that saving his biggest competition for last is a good gameplay move.

* OhCrap: Poor Hannah looks like she’s about to have a heart attack when Julie announces the second double eviction, when Hannah is the house’s biggest target and she knows it. And then she has another one of these moments shortly after that when Azah puts her on the block, and again when she loses the Veto competition. It wasn’t a good night for her.

* BadassAdorable: Her excited reaction to winning her first Veto is absolutely ''made'' of this.
