* GoneHorriblyRight: The main twists in Season 6 (secret pairs, hidden room, Kaysar voted back into the house) are blown up immediately. But this season is regarded as one of the most successful season. Why? Because it develops into a war that Survivor gods yearns to make this scenario happen for years, the anti-Pagoning system certainly helps either.

** After Lisa won in Season 3, people are angry that Danielle lost because the jury can see her DR confessions, thus cost her the game. Yet......People never batted in eyelid when Nicole lost to Will in Season 2......when it is clear that the jury can watch both of their DR confessions. The DR confessions isn't the reason why Nicole lost the game though.

** Jeff talking about his "Blow-up" with Shelly on live TV. This [[JustifiedTrope wasn't shown due to the Double Elimination show needing to be mostly filmed live]], but houseguests had been talking about it during the live show.

** Jeff talking about his "Blow-up" with Shelly on live TV. This [[JustifiedTrope wasn't shown due to the Double Elimination show needing to be mostly filmed live]], but houseguests had been talking about it during the main show.
** The huge controversey surrounding NWordPrivileges in ''Big Brother 15''. While you would never be able to tell by watching the show, anyone who watches the
live show.feeds can assure you these are some of the most foul-mouth, bigoted houseguests ever. There have been huge petitions to ''expel'' some of the worst offenders from the house, and it even cost 2 houseguests ''their jobs'', and may be costing a third one soon.
*** The main show has been getting better about showing these incidents, although it only shows Aaryn & her group of friends.


Added DiffLines:

** GinaMarie from Season 15 one of the worst examples yet. She's essentially a female Joe who doesn't confine her loud voice to the Diary Room.

** Hell, the camera even [[MaleGaze zoomed in on her boobs!]]

* [[AwfulWeddedLife Awful Showmance Life]]: Alec and Topaz did start out genuinely liking each other, but over the course of their time in the house their relationship eventually soured to the point that, while they remained together, it was solely because it would be bad for each of their games if they were to break up.

* DeadpanSnarker: ''Peter''. There is no doubt.
* FemmeFatale: It seemed like Liza tried to be a version of this. Emphasis on the "tried".


Added DiffLines:

* NoSocialSkills: Talla, at least slightly. She has no problem blurting out personal questions, and then demanding answers for them. Also she was prone to going off on tangents that people rarely followed and definitely had the occasional pointless temper tantrum.

** Tom had shades of this as well.
* Jerkass: Zig-zagged with Tom, who frequently said and did things that caused his fellow houseguests to feel as though he was arrogant or a bully. At the same time though, he was fiercely loyal to Emmett and Liza, and whenever he was called out on his behavior, he always made sure to apologize and seemed to genuinely feel bad.

* CampGay: Gary and Aneal.

to:

* AmbiguouslyGay: Talla, who never showed any real interest towards a male houseguest, yet went out of her way to kiss Topaz. At one point, she even tried to ''take Topaz's bikini top off'', and ended up chasing her around the yard! She WAS drunk when this occurred, but whether that detriments the case or not is up to you.
* CampGay: Gary ''Gary'' and to a lesser extent, Aneal.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Suzette definitely had this problem, as numerous houseguests pointed out. Emmett even called her out on it when he decided to leave her up on the block.
* NoIndoorVoice: Peter, Peter when he's in the DR, in an attempt to emulate Dan from the US version.

* JerkAss: Most of the contestants, and most of the US winners. Not only that, but douchebags are often prized by the BB fandom (Chill Town and Evel Dick come to mind.) The only people that won and weren't jerks about it were Jun from Season 4, Drew from Season 5, Dan from season 10, and Jordan from Season 11.

*FantasticRacism: In the first week of the 15th season alone, about half the cast have made at least one racial slur directed toward other contestants in the house. The worst offenders were [=GinaMarie=] and Aaryn, who frequently commented on Asian contestant Helen's eyes and talking about her making rice and the two African-American contestants Candice and Howard behind their backs saying the sheets smell black.
