Does not meet new definition for Tragically Disabled Love Interest


* DisabledLoveInterest: In the early part of the game, it seemed that Matt was on his way to being this for Reilly. It was evident that Matt and Reilly were on their way to becoming a showmance, but Reilly's time in the house was cut short before they could form a relationship.

Cleaned up section that was very heavy on YMMV and used overly biased language, changed it to be more impartial, removed a few tropes that didn’t seem to fit (she’s not a crook, and while her name *sounds* similar to Blue Betta, she wasn’t named *after* them)


* AlphaBitch: Blue can be very controlling, manipulative, catty, and domineering. She exudes a very negative aura and takes pleasure in gossiping about the other houseguests behind their backs. Many of her comments about others are very petty and have nothing to do with the game.
* AnimalMotifs: Cats. Blue's catchphrase is "Kitty Kitty Purr". Interestingly enough, another animal that could be her secondary motif are fish. Her first name Blue and her middle name Bada combined together sounds like Blue Betta, which is the name of a type of fish.
* AnimalThemeNaming: Her first and middle name, Blue Bada, sounds like Blue Betta, which is a type of fish. Blue Betta fish are a species of gourami found in Southeast Asia. These fish get their blue and green colors due to interference of light which results from hexagonal crystals.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: On the surface, Blue looks cute, sweet and innocent, but she was one of the nastiest and meanest houseguests on the down low. She was the biggest trash talker and constantly talked negatively about the other houseguests.

* TheChewToy: Blue lost her closest ally, Jared, during the Double Eviction in Week 8. As a result, she became the primary target in the house, and everyone wanted her gone after Jared's eviction. She has been nominated the most this season, alongside Cameron and Felicia. After Jared leaves, nobody really likes Blue on a personal level, and they all want to get rid of her. All of her allies have turned on her. In Week 12, she was nominated by Jag but then informed that she is safe and not Jag's target. During the eviction, Blue is blindsided when she is unanimously evicted by a 4-0 vote against her ArchEnemy, America. Not only was she blindsided but she was evicted over America, someone she disliked. Blue has had a difficult time during her stay in the house, but many fans were indifferent because they found her unlikeable and intolerable throughout the season.

* TheStoolPigeon: Blue is the biggest gossip and rat in the entire house. She divulges every single conversation she has with numerous houseguests. She was the one who informed Matt and Jag about America's intention to target them if she won an HOH competition. Blue uses this information to poison Matt and Jag against America and Cory.

Felicia found Cory and America irritating. Cameron wanted Cory out because of jealousy over him being with America. Jag and Matt wanted Cory out because they discovered that he was going to put them on the block if he won HOH. Blue despised Cory because he put her and Jared on the block during Double Eviction and was ultimately responsible for Jared going home. Bowie Jane used to be aligned with Cory but when Jag confessed he was going to put Cory on the block in Week 11, she was overjoyed and happy to blindside him. Cory's personality and quirks seemed to have rubbed people the wrong way enough for the vast majority of the house to want him out. After he was evicted, nobody was that sad to see him go.
