* NiceGirl: Notably, when Hannah is dealing with stalking and harassment from [[EntitledToHaveYou Brent]] in the early game, many of the houseguests either think that Hannah is in the wrong (such as Sarah Beth and Azah) or think that she’s being overdramatic about it. Britini, however, takes Hannah’s concerns completely seriously and makes it clear that she’s there for her if she needs support.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: He genuinely didn’t seem to realize just how insulting it was to tell Tiffany, Hannah, and Derek F to their faces multiple times that they weren’t good enough competitors to deserve to win the season, especially Tiffany and Hannah who worked so hard all season to help him and the Cookout get to the end. [[JerkassHasPoint Viewers tend to agree with his assessment of Derek F, although still think that it was unnecessary for him to be so blunt about it]].

* XMustNotWin: Not in regards to the player actually named X, but to Hannah. Shortly before Tiffany’s eviction, she said that she was fine with getting fourth place as long as Hannah didn’t win, and was going to try her best on the next HOH competition to ensure she would go home.

* OhCrap: There’s only one moment in the entire game where he seems genuinely afraid, and it’s when Hannah puts him on the block with Alyssa. With Alyssa as the last non-Cookout member, Claire having just highlighted how big of a threat Xavier is during her eviction speech, and Hannah’s loyalty to Tiffany making it clear that she wouldn’t put up the only Cookout member who would probably be voted out over him, Xavier knew that he would be in real trouble if Alyssa won the veto. This leads to him not holding back at all during the veto competition and winning it in record time to keep himself safe.

* TheDogBitesBack: The group was formed to guarantee that Big Brother would finally have a black winner after 22 seasons of no black winners, black contestants often getting targeted and evicted relatively early in the game, and many of those contestants also having to put up with racism from the white contestants in multiple seasons. Meaning that this trope wasn’t about this group pushing back against the white contestants of this specific cast, but rather the white dominance of the show’s history.
* FiveManBand: Out of the members of the group who were actively contributing, they more or less had Tiffany as TheLeader (running the group’s strategy of targeting and evicting houseguests to get them to final six), Kyland as both TheLancer (clashing with Tiffany but in a way that was really effective in reaching the group’s goals) and TheBigGuy (using his athleticism to win several competitions), Hannah as TheSmartGuy (contributing her intellect in frequent strategizing sessions with Tiffany), and Xavier as TheHeart (holding the group together and using his calm and logical demeanor to prevent them from turning on each other until final six).

* NoRespectGuy: Tiffany coming up with the group’s strategy that got them to final six, along with all of the work she put toward their goal, got completely overlooked by the final four players. Hannah also had her contributions blatantly dismissed by Kyland on multiple occasions. Both of them got the credit they were due by fans after the game, with Tiffany even winning “America’s Favorite Player” for everything she did.

[[folder: The Cookout]]

!''The Cookout''

'''Members:''' Xavier, Tiffany, Hannah, Kyland, Derek F, and Azah
----
* GenderEqualEnsemble: Has three men and three women as its six members.
* HeManWomanHater: Unfortunately the male half of the group had some shades of this to varying degrees, which became fully apparent by the end. Derek F was the most blatant about his hatred of the group’s women with frequent mean comments about all of them. Kyland seemed to have an InnocentlyInsensitive viewpoint of only the men deserving to win by completely overlooking everything that Tiffany and Hannah contributed. Xavier didn’t seem to genuinely have the issues with women that they did, but nonetheless didn’t push back on most of the misogynistic comments because of how it benefitted him strategically.
* TheLoad: Derek F and Azah didn’t do much for the group while Tiffany, Hannah, and Kyland did mostly everything. Xavier was somewhere in the middle by making some moves for the Cookout but prioritizing his personal endgame over it.
* NoCasualtiesRun: Impressively, all six of the members made it to the final six of the game with only one player outside of their group ever seeming to suspect their existence.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Kyland was by far the biggest {{Jerkass}} out of the effective players in the group, and had no problem being TheBully, a ToxicFriendInfluence, or any other negative trope to houseguests outside of the group to ensure that they succeeded.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Hannah was by far the sweetest member of the group, genuinely feeling guilty about betraying houseguests for them to the point of crying and frequently having HeroicSelfDeprecation over it, going out of her way to be really nice to the houseguests they were evicting and giving sympathy votes for them when she could, and despite this, also being the most selfless for their cause by being the only one to never try to keep her non-Cookout ally longer in the game for a personal advantage, nor complaining about having to make the sacrifice like everyone else did.

* TranquilFury: He keeps his cool when an evicted Kyland bashes Xavier's relationship with his nephew, and Xavier calmly but menacingly tells him to keep talking about his nephew (and see what happens).



* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: In the Jokers polls he became the most reviled houseguest for his irritating chatter, his villainy, being a PoisonousFriend, and sucking up to players for Jury votes.

* SpannerInTheWorks: By winning the Veto competition that she did, she inadvertently ruined the entire endgame for the Cookout women without even being aware of the Cookout’s existence. Her Veto win forces Tiffany to nominate Claire in Alyssa’s place, requiring Hannah to win the next HOH to ensure that Tiffany remains safe (when they otherwise would have had Claire as a number), which then leaves Tiffany as the only player viable to compete in the final 6 HOH who wasn’t going to target her and Hannah. When Tiffany doesn’t win that competition, her and Hannah’s games are both ended shortly after.

* MoralMyopia: Believes that he is a shoe-in for “America’s Favorite Player” and assumes that the audience loves him. He also believes that the audience hates Tiffany as much as he does and that she doesn’t stand a chance for AFP. So upon seeing Tiffany win AFP and then learning about the audience’s opinions of them after leaving the house, that he was disliked for his sexist comments and attitudes while she was loved for her kindness to the nicest houseguests and for sacrificing so much for the Cookout, he is very confused.

Kyland hammered this home shortly before she left [[KickTheDog by claiming that Derek F did more for the Cookout than her (offscreen, according to him)]], despite this being demonstrably false.

** She also has this on a meta level for the episode editors keeping her OutOfFocus and leaving most of her strategic moves out of the episodes, requiring fans to watch the live feeds to see them, and then excluding her from social media posts celebrating the Cookout. She does get enough love from fans to counter this though.

* UndyingLoyalty: For all of her cutthroat nature throughout the game, even being forced to evict Claire for her alliance despite how much she obviously cares about her, the one houseguest she seems to never be willing to betray is Hannah. When the two are put on the block together, Tiffany mostly just accepts her fate and prepares to butter up the Jury for Hannah if she got to final two.

** From a gameplay perspective, his nomination of Tiffany and Hannah when he became HOH for the third time could be considered the point that many fans gave up on any hope of him ''not'' being the BigBad. While he was still a {{Jerkass}} at several points before this, he was ultimately still working toward the Cookout’s goal of guaranteeing that Big Brother would have a black winner like the rest of his alliance was, albeit more villainous about it. But putting up the two most likable remaining houseguests on the block together, including one who is so sweet she’s outright TheCutie, even when it crosses into StupidEvil for him to do this? Most fans considered him irredeemable after that.

* MamaBear: She got like this over Hannah a bit, considering that doing something bad to Hannah was typically the fastest way to earn Tiffany’s ire. For example, from the moment that Sarah Beth tried to target Hannah, Tiffany openly hated Sarah Beth for the whole rest of the game until the Jury House. And when Derek F accidentally knocked Hannah out of the hammock and caused her to get a concussion, Tiffany went on a multiple tangents about how irresponsible he was between moments of comforting her. For all of this, she earned Hannah’s UndyingLoyalty too.

* InformedFlaw: The Zingbot implied that she was irrelevant with the “Hannah Who?” zing, despite her and Tiffany doing more strategizing and playing the game harder than anyone else left, and being an audience-favorite duo for this. She even ended up with the second-biggest Instagram following after the show, only having less followers than Derek X.



* LaserGuidedKarma: Derek X and Claire had UndyingLoyalty towards her - and clearly would have fought to take her farther in the game. And because she chose to evict them, sure enough there was nobody who was going to take her off the block and ends up being gunned for - while Xavier had Azah and Derek X as well as even ''Kyland''.

* TookALevelInKindness: While her dislike of Sarah Beth was justified during SB’s time as a villain, Tiffany was still particularly mean to her in the early game before SB did anything to deserve it. After the game ended, Tiffany apologized for her behavior toward Sarah Beth in the early game, saying that she acted that way because she saw her as a threat to her own game and took it too far. The Jury House segments already showed Tiffany being much nicer to her, but after the game ended entirely, Tiffany has made it clear that she knows she was in the wrong, and now seems to consider Sarah Beth a friend and shows a lot more respect toward her.

* PetTheDog: Although Azah wasn’t exactly a villain, she did still end up being viewed as a bit of an antagonist by many viewers for how much unwarranted meanness she showed toward other women in the house during conversations, most egregiously Hannah, but also Tiffany, Alyssa, and Whitney to lesser extents. However, one major exception to this pattern of behavior was how she treated Britini. Britini was arguably the biggest ButtMonkey of the whole season, getting put on the block frequently for no good reason and not getting much respect in general by the houseguests. Yet Azah always stuck by her side as a true friend, always being there for her and making sure that Britini knew someone in the house cared about her as the rest of the house more or less either ignored her or actively targeted her. So in spite of her catty side, the one woman Azah did support was the one who needed it the most.

During the game itself she stated that she probably doesn’t have any fans, and after being evicted she said that while she still had feelings for Derek X, she feared that he wouldn’t even want to talk to her after she helped get him evicted.

* LesserOfTwoEvils: Many considered him this in the final two vote against Derek F, both in the house and out of it. While Xavier had his villainous qualities, particularly in how badly he treated AFP winner Tiffany, he at least only had these unlikeable qualities for the sake of PragmaticVillainy. He even expressed admiration for Tiffany as a player and how much she did for the Cookout in his goodbye message to her, confirming that his attacks on her character were purely strategic and not personal. Meanwhile, Derek F’s misogyny to several female houseguests actually did seem genuine and personal, as these comments served no apparent gameplay purpose. Additionally, while neither of them were among the more noble players actively making sacrifices to their own game to help the Cookout, Xavier at least did ''some'' work for the Cookout while DF did next to nothing. This made him the clearly more heroic choice in the final two despite many still viewing him as a villain.

* 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, for reasons that she never completely specified. Possibly because of Hannah being the youngest houseguest and Azah dismissing her maturity because of that, possibly because of jealousy over her friendship with Xavier, possibly because of the initial Cookout discussions not accounting for Hannah due to uncertainty of her heritage (once Hannah confirmed she was half black half Indian, the group accepted her), or most likely a combination of the above. In any case, Azah 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. This makes her notable as the only Cookout member to engage in any gatekeeping toward the group’s membership.
