History Woobie / BigBrother

* Tola from 12 Canada. He revealed that his mother was actually ''Cambodian'' - who was shielding kids from the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_Rouge Khmer Rouge]] and trying to help them get into Thailand. He had a rough childhood trying to emigrate to Canada. Couple this with him (allegedly) being framed for going against the house and earning the ire of Kayla.

** Hayden Voss, betrayed by people he thought were his friends. He and [[LoveInterest Nicole]] are eventually put up against each other in nominations. He eventually does win Nicole's affections, but Nicole wonders if they can be together due to them living so far apart. Things do work out for him, though - he wins a luxury competition and gains $5000.

* Bowie Jane from 25. She was consistently LockedOutOfTheLoop by people who would later run to her for votes. The same people then gave her a nickname of "FBJ" - meaning [[PrecisionFStrike "Fucking]] Bowie Jane". Others started talking about how horrible she was (Which [[AllThereInTheManual never made the edited show]]) and even the viewers treated her as one of the worst ''people'' to play the game. And not one of the worst ''players'' - one of the worst people ''as a person''. Part of this was because she decided to take a shot at Cameron (Who won America's Favourite Player), while others was because she aligned with two male players - [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe who actually treated her as a person]]. Bowie may not be perfect by any means, but her making it to the final three can be seen as TheDogBitesBack.

* From [=BBC3=], we have Britnee Blair. Disliked by nearly everyone (the one person who likes her was at one point only using her as a vote) for almost no reason, she's been the biggest pawn of the season going up almost every [=HoH=]. The editors seem to make her seem really dumb despite the fact she's one of the more intelligent females this season and have a failure montage for her each episode. Add all that to the fact she's a plus sized model (which means she likely was heavily bullied as a young woman, outright stated by her in her intro video) and you'll want to hug her more than ever. Things changed within the past few weeks - where Sarah, Britnee's only ally, starts to legitimately come to like her.

* Justin from ''Over the Top''. He basically hid behind bigger targets and got to the final four. He spiraled into depression during his last week of the game and kept away from the other three to not ruin the mood... and Jason&Kryssie pretty much bashed the ''hell'' out of him. Only Morgan came around to make sure he was alright. His last week in the house was pretty much Jason and Kryssie non-stop hating him. [[LaserGuidedKarma Which more or less cost them the game.]]

** While none of the moments are as sad as the double eviction episode, Hannah came across as a Woobie at several other points throughout the season as well. There’s her dealing with [[https://mobile.twitter.com/bbburner16/status/1442901472262307840 Brent following her around and touching her inappropriately on many, many occasions]] when she clearly doesn’t want him to (especially when he pressures her for a hug, and she has a very defeated-sounding tone to her voice when she says “sure Brent... let’s do it”), along with some of the other houseguests treating her as immature for having a problem with this instead of empathizing with her, Azah trying to exclude her from the Cookout by insistently saying they’re “the five” and not “the six” and speaking so negatively of her behind her back, her crush Derek X explaining his type to the group... which is nothing close to what she looks like, her crying and feeling guilty about helping her alliance get Derek X evicted (“no I’m actually the worst”), the time she was accidentally knocked out of the hammock and got a concussion, the Zingbot leading her to believe she didn’t have fans, Kyland insisting she wasn’t good enough to be the season’s winner... there were a lot of moments where viewers felt bad for her. She somehow even managed to keep having Woobie moments ''after the game was over'' when the Big Brother social media pages [[https://mobile.twitter.com/hannah_chaddha/status/1463329230377426952 made posts giving credit to all five other Cookout members but not her]], to the extent that it seemed they were excluding her on purpose, despite her being one of the alliance members who did the most work.

* Taylor on Big Brother 24 very quickly became this when, right after the game started, several of the women in the house became catty toward her behind her back and rallied to get her out while some of the men stereotyped her as ''probably'' (as in, they were only guessing) being an [[AngryBlackManStereotype Angry Black Woman Stereotype]] who would become scary if they kept her in the game, leading to the entire house targeting her despite her never actually doing anything wrong. The house’s primary stated reason for disliking her was her showing the house the dress she planned to bring to the finale, which was viewed as conceited, but something that her housemates encouraged her to do in the first place. When she realizes that she has zero allies and fifteen enemies on only day three of the game, she breaks down crying. After this, instead of being angry at her cast, she blames herself for the situation and asks “who did I hurt?” as she earnestly tries to figure out what she did wrong, only for the house to blatantly avoid her and her questions, leading to her having multiple more crying sessions by herself. Thankfully, she eventually manages to find friends with The Leftovers alliance, her bullies get picked off one by one, and she soon goes on to win the game.

* While many people viewed Paloma as a BigBad or a DiscOneFinalBoss, it turns out she was somewhat of a JerkassWoobie whose [[ManipulativeEditing first few days were largely focused on and exaggerated]], since [[https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/big-brother-24-alum-paloma-aguilar-breaks-silence-after-exit/ according to her]], she actually started getting much closer with Taylor. Of course, given what many people had seen, it was obvious that Paloma was having a mental breakdown.

* Multiple contestants in Celebrity Big Brother 3 US also apply. Between Todd having watched everyone he acted with in ''Series/DiffrentStrokes'' die of old age and prematurely, Chris Kattan having to have ''multiple'' surgeries that leave him in pain and doing a SillyWalk unintentionally, Lamar Odom having had ''twelve'' strokes and ''SIX'' heart attacks...

* Tynesha as well. She was nominated as a pawn specifically to target Moose, a much more powerful threat. She was quite annoyed not just at Jess, but ''half the house'' as she was evicted by a vote of 5-4. She even seemed to know that she would be leaving - as everyone else dressed up for a competition yet she dressed for a show. She later revealed why she only hugged half the houseguests and decided to give a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the house on their way out, since voting to evict her (Who hadn't posed any threat whatsoever) over Moose was admittedly an even ''worse'' decision than Jess nominating her as a pawn when the house was pushing towards Haleena.
