| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * ActionGirl: Downplayed. She's not the best competitor in the house but don't think that she won't compete or fight when the time calls for it. She may not be the strongest player, but she's most definitely TheDeterminator and a fighter. |
| 29 | * ActionSurvivor: Jessica isn't the strongest female competitor in the game but she's capable of being competitive at times. She does have an HOH and POV win under her belt. She also has pretty good game instincts and a reasonably good understanding of what's going on in the house. The only thing that she lacks in terms of gameplay is a good social game. |
| 30 | * AffablyEvil: For the most part, Jessica seems like she's a NiceGirl but she does carry a nasty streak within her personality. She can also be highly catty, petty and jealous. Sometimes Jessica can flip flop between this and FauxAffablyEvil. |
| 31 | * AffectionateNickname: Normally, everyone calls Jessica by her full name. However, Cody almost always calls her Jess as it is a pet name that he uses for her. |
| 32 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Played Straight. Jessica gets into a romantic relationship with Cody, who is the BigBad, villain or antagonist of the season. She doesn't seem to care that Cody is not the most pleasant person and is most definitely categorized as the main 'bad boy' of the season. In fact, she fully embraces Cody and all of his {{Jerkass}} behavior since she's an AlphaBitch herself and really is no better. |
| 33 | * AllWomenAreLustful: It seems that all Jessica cared about in the game was using her sexuality to get the attention of the any male houseguest(s). Her showmance with Cody managed to destroy her game as she constantly isolated herself from others and cared more about having sex with Cody in bed than winning a game for 500K. It also seemed that her lust for Cody managed to take precedence over trying to win 500K which is the whole point of the game to begin with. It became clear that Jessica's real intention in this game was to find a man in the house that she could hook up with or sleep with. Getting to the end and winning the 500K would just be a bonus on top of it. |
| 34 | * AllWomenLoveShoes: Jessica has a love for high heeled shoes. Considering that she's TheFashionista and a GirlyGirl, this is no surprise. It's so prevalent that Paul feared her reaction if he and the guys pranked her by putting Vaseline in her electric yellow trainers. |
| 35 | * AlphaBitch[=/=]LovableAlphaBitch: Jessica flip-flops between the two, falling somewhere in the middle. She can be extremely catty at points, such as disliking Alex for ''extremely'' [[ClingyJealousGirl petty reasons]] even though Alex had no beef with her, not to mention she's gotten in fights with plenty of other houseguests. That said, Jessica genuinely isn't mean-spirited, called out Cody for playing the game too personal, and has often apologized for when she acts out of line. The best illustration of this would have to be her reactions to Christmas's injury. When Christmas, reading from a written statement, gives the houseguests the news that she'll need surgery and declares that she'll continue to be the "Queen of Perseverance" and stay in the house, Jessica is all but rolling her eyes. Post-surgery, however, when Christmas reveals that she will never again have full mobility, Jessica is wide-eyed, stunned, and shocked. |
| 36 | * AmbitionIsEvil: Jessica's ambition and determination to get ALEX out of the house was based on nothing more than insecurity and jealousy. She was so determined to get rid of Alex that she let her IrrationalHatred of her cloud her judgement. Other than her incessant need and ambition to get rid of Alex, Jessica was also pretty ruthless and manipulative when it comes to getting what she wants or to further her goals or agenda. She's the type that is willing to go to extreme lengths to get what she wants, even if she has to resort to dirty tactics such as lying, bullying, trash talking, and manipulating. |
| 37 | * AnalProbing: Many people in the house have complained that Jessica likes to stick her fingers in peoples' butts, much to their discomfort. Alex has even called Jessica a sexual predator for her constantly slapping people's private areas and sticking her fingers in people's butts. |
| 38 | * AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Nearly everyone in the house, with the exception of Cody, was happy or content with Jessica being evicted. The ones that were the happiest about this were Paul, Josh, Raven, and Alex. |
| 39 | * AntiVillain: |
| 40 | ** Jessica is a NobleDemon. She can be very antagonistic, catty and bitchy in her treatment towards others. However, she does seem to have a moral line that she won't cross and she does have a disgust for bullying and deliberately hurting others. She will also be someone that will admit when she's done something wrong or has gone too far. And she's willing to apologize and make amends for her poor decisions and actions. |
| 41 | ** Jessica is a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds. She can be mean, catty and petty at times, but she also has a FreudianExcuse for her behavior. Jessica is still mourning the loss of her late father so it could be assumed that much of her nasty behavior could have to do with still dealing with the loss. Aside from that, Jessica has also been the victim of bullying in the house. It makes sense why Jessica's attitude and behavior towards the people who she feels has mistreated her would be negative in nature. |
| 42 | * ArchEnemy: |
| 43 | ** '''Josh''', who she finds intolerable to be around. She has constantly been rude to him and has personally attacked him. |
| 44 | ** '''Alex''', who is her other major enemy mostly because of petty jealousy over Cody and his relationship with Alex. |
| 45 | ** '''Paul''', simply because Cody hates him and has been targeting him and Jessica since the beginning of the game. |
| 46 | * AscendedFangirl: Admitted to being a huge fan of Big Brother and she used to watch the show since she was much younger with her late father. Jessica said that she wanted to go on Big Brother because she knows that her father would be so proud of her for fulfiling his dream. Jessica even admitted that she was a Paul fangirl and that they were her favorite player on Big Brother 18. |
| 47 | * AssholeVictim: Jessica was a huge bitch to everyone and had treated the other houseguests horribly by thinking that they were in inferior to her during the game. However, in the later weeks, Jessica, along with Cody, became a main target for taunting and antagonizing for the other houseguests. In addition, the entire house also completely shunned her and Cody and had no intentions of wanting to even contemplate the idea of either aligning with her socializing with her. However, her fate in the game is pretty much self inflicted. |
| 48 | * BadassBoast: Likes to threaten and intimidate people whenever things don't go her way, giving off a major EntitledBitch attitude. When Josh had voted out Jillian over Christmas in Week 1, Jessica went on a tirade against Josh and called him out in front of the entire house for being a victim (in which he was because Jessica and Cody were bullying him and mistreating him). |
| 49 | * TheBaroness: Jessica is a Sexpot type. Jessica is a beautiful, sexy, sensual, and ruthless AlphaBitch with a side of ManipulativeBitch and a huge side of ClingyJealousGirl. She constantly uses her sexuality, feminine wiles and good looks to try to manipulate Cody into doing what she wants. In the grand scheme of things though, Jessica is very much TheDragon to Cody's BigBad. She also serves as a LadyMacbeth role to Cody – she's pretty much the one who strongly influences or has an impact on all of Cody's unpleasant actions, choices and behavior in the game. However, in some ways, she fits the Rosa Klebb type because she can have a rather strong willed, domineering, bossy, controlling, and aggressive side to her personality. |
| 50 | * BatmanGambit: She thought about replacing Ramses with Alex if Paul tried to flip the vote when she put Josh up as her target, but because her standing in the house was already bad, she didn't go through with it and tried to stay under the radar. She also had insurance in the form of the Halting Hex, so even though chances were good Josh would stay, she could get even later. |
| 51 | * BeautyIsBad: Jessica is arguably the season's female villain and is the most attractive female houseguest of the season. She's also an AlphaBitch who is extremely mean and catty. Jessica's beauty is only skin deep as her inner self is not as pleasant as her outer self. |
| 52 | * BerserkButton: |
| 53 | ** Harassing her or attacking her is a really bad move. she will fight back, as she's done so to the other houseguests such as Josh. |
| 54 | ** ''Alex''. God, anytime Alex is even brought up, Jessica goes into a complete hissy fit. Understandable why she does considering that she has an IrrationalHatred borne from jealously towards her (over Alex and her "relationship" with Cody). |
| 55 | ** Being a despicable person in real life. This is why Jessica only respects Cody and Kevin, because she sees Paul as a vehicle for bringing out the worst in other people, and she hates how Josh is nothing but a schoolyard bully. Which is kind of ironic considering that being a bully and despicable person is a pet peeve of hers, she's a bit of a hypocrite. She's also mistreated the other houseguests in the game and on a personal level and has resorted to bullying as well. During a fight with Josh in Week 6, Jessica bullied Josh by fat shaming him and insulting his intelligence in front of the entire house without any remorse for doing so. |
| 56 | * BigBadDuumvirate: Cody and Jessica are considered to be the villains of the season with Cody being the BigBad and Jessica being TheDragon for Cody. |
| 57 | * BitchAlert: For the most part, she came off as a BitchInSheepsClothing but once she's messed with in any way, she lets people know that she is ''not'' to be messed with and she can be a mega bitch. |
| 58 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Think that Jessica is the NiceGirl that she tries to pass herself off as in her pre season interview? Think again. It turns out that Jessica is one of the meanest, cattiest and bitchiest girls in the house and she is most definitely the original resident AlphaBitch of the season. |
| 59 | * BlackWidow: One of Jessica's nicknames on the show. Interestingly enough, there have been many fans that speculate that Jessica is a call girl or an escort who sleeps with men (older and younger) for money. Plus, she uses her sexuality to entice men (in particular Cody) in order to get them to do what she wants. Her nickname is very fitting. |
| 60 | * BreakoutCharacter: Jessica, along with Cody, were popular enough on the show to appear on ''Series/TheAmazingRace'' (Season 30). |
| 61 | * BreakTheHaughty: |
| 62 | ** For the first week, Jess was pretty much on top of the world, with her boyfriend being HOH and having a majority alliance (this being the same weak where most of Jessica's AlphaBitch tendencies showed as well). Then her HumiliationConga kicked in for two back to back weeks. Needless to say, by the end of it, Jessica was a lot more humble and a lot less catty. |
| 63 | ** Arguably a {{subverted}} trope. The minute she won HOH and Cody returned, Jessica immediately went back to being the same AlphaBitch she started as. And while she's been undergoing yet another breakage, she's been a lot bitchier this time around too, going so far as to fantasize about murdering Alex. |
| 64 | * BrokenBird: Jessica's bitchy attitude could be contributed to the fact that she is still grieving over the death of her father three years ago. |
| 65 | * BrutalHonesty: She told everyone who blindly sided with Paul that if they wanted to come on ''Big Brother'' and do that, that they probably shouldn't even ''be'' on the show. |
| 66 | * TheBully: Jessica had no problem with strong arming people and threatening them in order to get them to do what she wants. She's also extremely catty and mean when she's angry and takes out her anger on others by making personal attacks. She has bullied and mistreated Josh for not doing what she wanted in Week 1 when he decided to vote to keep Christmas (who happens to be his friend and someone whom he has a personal connection with) over Jillian. She also fat shamed Josh and insulted his intelligence in front of the entire house without any shame. The funny thing is that Jessica proclaims to hate bullies and bullying, but she has no issue with being a bully herself when it suits her. |
| 67 | * ButtMonkey: Along with Cody, she has been the target for harassment and mistreatment by the other houseguests. It's warranted however, because in the earlier parts of the game, Jessica and Cody happened to mistreat and backstab a lot of the other houseguests. It's no wonder nobody in the house can stand to be associated with them any longer. Jessica is pretty much a loner just like Cody is and it doesn't help that they have a poor social game and constantly ostracize themselves. |
| 68 | * CatEaredHeadband: Jessica is sometimes seen wearing cat ears from time to time. Her ArchEnemy Alex ironically wears them as well. However, it appears as though Jessica doesn't wear her cat ears as much as Alex does. |
| 69 | * CleavageWindow: Along with an ImpossiblyLowNeckline. The majority of the clothing that she wears is always exposing her bust and her cleavage, making her a certified MsFanservice. |
| 70 | * '''ClingyJealousGirl''': Definitely shows shades of jealousy when it comes to Cody. It's clear that part of Jessica's dislike towards Alex, especially earlier on in the game, may have had to do with the fact that Cody respected and liked Alex and wanted to work with her and align with her. She also has it out for Raven, who Cody ended up sleeping beside for the first five days because of the fact he entered the house last and ran out of choices for beds and everyone partnered up except Raven. They seemed like friends at first, but then Raven began to act possessive and it all spiraled out of control from there. |
| 71 | * DaddysGirl: Jessica was apparently very close to her late father, which is why she was so devastated and affected by his death which happened three years ago. Going by her behavior, it's clear that she's still in mourning over his death and that she hasn't gotten over it. |
| 72 | * DarkActionGirl: She's more of an ActionSurvivor than a true ActionGirl but she's also not to be messed with or underestimated. |
| 73 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She used to watch ''Big Brother'' with her dad and that's how she got into it. But her dad passed away in 2014, and the first time she won an HOH competition, she broke down crying because it meant so much to her and hoped her mom watching at home was made proud of her, too. |
| 74 | * DarkMistress: Jessica is the girlfriend of Cody, who has been deemed as the season's BigBad or villain. She's also Cody's number one ally. |
| 75 | * DeadpanSnarker: Jessica is very snarky and sarcastic, especially when she's irritated and annoyed. |
| 76 | * DidntSeeThatComing: Completely flips out after Christmas not only takes a shot at her during an eviction speech, but especially when Christmas flipped the house and stayed when Jessica thought she and Cody had secured enough votes for a tie. |
| 77 | * DingDongTheWitchIsDead: ''All'' of the other houseguests, with the exception of Cody, were elated that Jessica was evicted in Week 6. Josh, Paul and Alex were the happiest to see her gone, and Josh even taunted her as she left. |
| 78 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Jessica was evicted by a 7-1-0 vote the week before jury with no hope of returning. |
| 79 | * DividedWeFall: Tried to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this on the rest of her and Cody's alliance after he betrayed and blindsides two members of it in the first week. [[DefiedTrope They were having absolutely none of it and simply turned on and ousted her and Cody from it instead]]. |
| 80 | * TheDragon: For Cody. Cody is the BigBad of the season and Jessica pretty much follows Cody's lead. Jessica even admitted to Cody that she saw him as TheLeader in the first week. She supports and follows pretty much everything that Cody does (understandably so) and has UndyingLoyalty to him as she's his sole ally in the game. |
| 81 | ** TheCreon: Jessica has no problem with seeing Cody as the leader and letting him take the lead in all of the plans. Although she does have her input in a lot of the game plans, she only offers advice to Cody on what he should do. Jessica has been given multiple chances to be the one in a position of power, but she has frequently let Cody dictate her game more often than not. It's clear that although Jessica does somewhat like being a position of power, she often diverts all of the power to Cody and she often follows what he wants or does. |
| 82 | ** DemotedToDragon: Although Jessica appears to be a major villain, she's actually nothing more than TheDragon to Cody, who was the BigBad at the start of the season. Although she has a strong influence on what happens to the game, she's pretty much the second in command to Cody and since Cody was HOH in the first week, he had predominantly more power than Jessica did. |
| 83 | ** DragonAscendant: Cody is evicted in Week 2 and after he leaves, Jessica ends up trying to take Cody's place as the BigBad. She tries to carry on his agenda and his goals, which is to target Paul and to get him out of the house. Unfortunately for her, she isn't in power once Cody leaves so her plans on trying to get Paul out fail as she ends up in a vulnerable position when she's nominated by Alex alongside Dominique in Week 3. |
| 84 | ** DragonTheirFeet: Cody is evicted before Jessica in Week 2. After Cody leaves, Jessica decides to continue going through with his wanted agenda, which is trying to get Paul and Josh out of the house. She has also stated that she plans on going after all of the people who stabbed Cody in the back and that her time in the house is purely about trying to avenge Cody's eviction. |
| 85 | ** DragonWithAnAgenda: In Week 1, Cody was HOH and in the position of power, but that didn't mean that Jessica didn't have other plans for the game. While Cody didn't want to get rid of Alex like Jessica and the rest of his alliance wanted to, Jessica was adamant about sending Alex home because she felt that she was a huge threat to her and to the rest of their alliance. The subject of Alex going home managed to cause a serious rift and fight between Jessica and Cody. Cody was desperate to protect Alex and keep her in the game while Jessica was desperate on trying to get Alex out. Cody chalked Jessica wanting Alex out to be nothing more than petty jealousy while Jessica stated that she wanted Alex out because she felt that she was a huge threat and she was very uncomfortable with Cody's emotional connection and relationship with Alex. Even though Cody was persistent in his -stance on not wanting to target or get rid of Alex, Jessica was still extremely persistent in her desire to backdoor her shall she come in power, much to Cody's disconcertion. |
| 86 | ** MookLieutenant: Whenever Cody is not in power or isn't around to dictate what she happen in regards to plans, Jessica always ends up taking the lead and gathering the alliance members in order to come to an agreement about game moves or plans. Jessica is very much a SupportingLeader role to Cody and she has much influence on the other alliance members. |
| 87 | ** MouthOfSauron: While Cody was the one in charge in the beginning, Jessica is there to remind everyone about Cody's plans and agenda. She often serves as the mouthpiece to Cody and she repeats his intentions to the other alliance members. This only occurs when Cody is taking a step back and is not actively participating in making decisions for the benefit of his alliance. |
| 88 | ** NobleTopEnforcer: She's arguably much nicer than Cody. Cody is more cutthroat, ruthless and cruel in his treatment towards the other houseguests. Jessica, although not the nicest person either, tends to be able to take a step back and analyze situations before making a move. Cody is infinitely more aggressive in his approach while Jessica is more laid back in her approach although she's no pushover if she's provoked into anger. Neither Cody and Jessica are particularly nice or affable people ion general, but in comparison to Cody, who has horrible social skills, displays mean-spirited and cruel behavior towards others, and plays a rather aggressive game, Jessica is tame. |
| 89 | * EntitledBitch: Jessica believed that everything had to go her way as she deemed herself superior to everyone else in the house, especially when she and Cody were in power. Yet she expected the other houseguests to give her and Cody respect once they lost that power. |
| 90 | * ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow: Jessica is rarely seen without a ton of black eyeshadow and acts super bitchy. When she's not wearing the eyeshadow, [[BeneathTheMask she looks tired and unhappy.]] |
| 91 | * TheFashionista: Jessica is very high maintenance and seems to have a penchant for fashionable or trendy clothing. On eviction night, she's always seen dressed up wearing nice clothes and shoes. |
| 92 | * FatalFlaw: |
| 93 | ** Jessica has many. But the biggest one? [[HairTriggerTemper WRATH]]. Jess is a big fireball of anger who descends on anyone who makes her feel small. It was her unbridled wrath that caused Josh to give up on her and let her be evicted the week he was HOH because she was too blinded by hate to recognize or even think that he was actually trying to save her, and interpreted it as him coming to torment her even more. This, among other issues, directly led to her defeat in the house. |
| 94 | ** Her [[SmugSnake Arrogance]]. Jessica seemed to have the mentality that she was better than everyone else and that all of the other houseguests except Cody were inferior to her. She went out of her way to bully and antagonize other houseguests who didn't always agree with her. Her lack of social game and her inability to have formed decent relationships with the other houseguests exposes her sense of superiority and her arrogant nature. |
| 95 | ** Her [[KickTheDog Cruelty]]. Jessica has persistently treated the other houseguests terribly. The only person that she cares about or had any regard for in the game was Cody. She has gotten into numerous fights and yelling matches with other houseguests. She has humiliated and bullied Josh by yelling at him in front of the house instead of trying to communicate with him cordially. She also has an IrrationalHatred of Alex and has made it her mission to target her and treat her with much disrespect for no reason. When she's not being mean to houseguests, she resorts to talking constant trash about them behind their backs or she ends up completely ignoring them or avoiding them believing that they're not worthy of her time and presence. Overall, Jessica has proven that she's one of the most catty, bitchy, and mean spirited girls of the season. |
| 96 | ** Her [[GreenEyedMonster Jealousy]]. Jessica is an extremely envious and jealous person. When it came to Cody, she's a certified ClingyJealousGirl who was very insecure about Cody and his relationship with Alex. Jessica's IrrationalHatred towards Alex was most likely DrivenByEnvy towards her because she was clearly feeling threatened by Alex's presence in regards to Cody. Even Cody came to realize and admitted that Jessica's dislike of Alex wasn't necessarily game related but instead was personal and was due to competitiveness and jealousy. Jessica let her jealousy of Alex blind her to making logical game decisions and was part of her downfall in the game. |
| 97 | ** Her [[{{Hypocrite}} Hypocrisy]]. Jessica has always said that she hates when people put down others and bully people. But in the beginning, she had little to no problem with abusing her power (along with Cody) in order to make the other houseguests feel inferior to her. She constantly mistreated other houseguests especially when they didn't do what she wanted. She bullied and harassed other houseguests such as Paul, Alex, Megan, and Josh. In addition, she's frequently called out Josh for acting like a victim constantly yet when she isn't in a good position in the game, she'll resort to PlayingTheVictimCard herself if she feels that it'll benefit her and Cody somehow. |
| 98 | ** Her [[EvilIsPetty Pettiness]]: Jessica seems to hold grudges and she's very petty. She can't seem to let go of things and she'll stop at nothing to gain revenge against others. Her SoreLoser tendencies and her trash talking the other houseguests also show her in a negative light. |
| 99 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Jessica seems to flip between this and AffablyEvil. Jessica can appear polite and nice to others at times. However, she has no issue with talking crap about others, letting jealousy over Cody consume her, having IrrationalHatred towards another houseguest (Alex) cloud her logic, and plotting the demise of many other houseguests with a smile on her face. It's uncertain if Jessica is a genuinely nice person who is putting on a bitchy act or if she is pretending to be a nice girl to cover up her true personality which is unpleasant. |
| 100 | * FemmeFatale: Jessica has resorted to using her sexuality to get father in the game. Her sexuality managed to lure Cody in to the point where she is controlling everything that he does in the game. |
| 101 | * FreudianExcuse: Jessica acts crappy because she's still taking the loss of her father very hard. Hard enough that when the anniversary of his passing came up in August, she fell apart when Josh kept attacking her and began to hate him as a person and not just a houseguest. |
| 102 | * GirlyGirl: Jessica is one of the most girly and feminine houseguests this season. She is the opposite of Alex, who is more of a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak. |
| 103 | * GreenEyedMonster: Jessica is an intensely jealous person by nature. She shows jealous behaviour regarding Alex. Jessica is 100% a ClingyJealousGirl who had a strong disregard for Cody and Alex's relationship. In fact, much of her IrrationalHatred towards Alex was because Jessica felt very insecure and uncomfortable about Cody's emotional connection with Alex. |
| 104 | * HoistByHerOwnPetard: Threw the Temptation Competition in a risky gambit to get herself on the block early to prevent someone from throwing her up later and there being no chance for Cody to act to get her off. Though Cody won the TC and was randomly selected to compete in the next POV competition alongside Jessica, Christmas used the Ring of Replacement to switch his participation for hers (which the doctors no-no'd) and Jessica lost the comp. That basically sealed her fate. |
| 105 | * HollywoodCalifornia: Currently residing in California, but she's originally from [[HollywoodNewEngland Rhode Island]]. |
| 106 | * HollywoodNewEngland: Jessica is originally from a city in Rhode Island called Cranston, but she currently lives or resides in [[HollywoodCalifornia Los Angeles, California]]. |
| 107 | * HotBlooded: Jessica is overly emotional, blunt, and aggressive. She gets easily upset and ends up lashing out, especially when she doesn't get her way. In many ways, she's the opposite of Cody, who is TheStoic and doesn't show that much emotion unless he's provoked. |
| 108 | * HumiliationConga: Got turned into a grubby Ve-Toad by Christmas for siding along with Cody. And then got some of the punishments in the first HOH after he came back into the game because the two are an item. |
| 109 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 110 | ** Jessica constantly calls out Josh for PlayingTheVictimCard yet she has no issue with playing the victim if it's going to benefit her and Cody in the game. When Jessica doesn't get her way, she plays the victim who was wronged by everyone else. |
| 111 | ** Jessica has complained about other houseguests being mean, harassing, and mistreating her and Cody. But earlier in the game, she (along with Cody) was the one who was being bitchy, catty and making personal attacks against other houseguests when she and Cody were in power. |
| 112 | ** Jess blamed Raven for Alex's cat ears going missing, when several weeks ago, ''[[RealityShowGenreBlindness she was clearly filmed wearing them in the Diary Room.]]'' |
| 113 | * IconicItem: Is sometimes seen wearing cat ears. Interestingly enough, her enemy Alex also wears them as well. |
| 114 | * IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Has certainly been ''trying'' to pull this on Cody ever since he won HOH, attempting to use their showmance as leverage. Unfortunately for her, [[DefiedTrope he's not having it]] and [[FromBadToWorse Jess is now trapped in a showmance with a guy ignoring almost every move she suggests and who has established himself as a major target]]. And even when she sets him straight, it's too late to do anything about it and her standing in the house sinks like a stone, securing her eviction. |
| 115 | * InnocentInnuendo: Coupled with MondegreenGag. Jessica never knew what a "hymen"[[note]]a membrane of skin in the reproductive organs of a woman that separates during the act of intercourse to allow for impregnation when a man copulates with them[[/note]] was in real life, and unknowingly pronounced "Heisman" (as in Heisman trophy) that way (not helped by Kevin's own [[MondegreenGag mondegreen]] of "Heinz"). Cody was too embarrassed to tell her the right pronunciation, so he sent her off to Elena, who also couldn't believe she didn't know this, let alone that she might not have one anymore. Finally understanding the true meaning behind the word, Jessica revealed to the world she was no longer a virgin. She's been shagging Cody as of day six, and it's unclear if there were others before him. |
| 116 | * IrrationalHatred: Zig-Zagged with Alex. On the one hand, Alex is an extremely strong physical competitor outside of Jessica's alliance who she's already gotten into an argument with, making it totally understandable that Jessica sees Alex as a threat that should be removed from the game sooner rather than later. On the other, at least some of Jessica's disdain for Alex potentially stems from jealousy that Cody seems to have a higher opinion of Alex than he does of Jess, as well as the misunderstanding with Megan. She also thought about replacing Ramses for Alex just to prevent a potential flip. And Alex herself considers Jessica insecure and [[ClingyJealousGirl jealous]] toward her for her athleticism and her much more promising capacity to make friends. However, what it really boils down to is that Alex is a gossiper who is constantly badmouthing people every time she opens her mouth, while Jessica, at the very least, holds her tongue and forgives people if they let bygones be bygones. |
| 117 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Jessica is very selfish and self centred. When she doesn't get her way, she acts like she's been wronged. In addition, she has a victim complex and makes herself come across as the victim whenever she feels that she's been done wrong by others in order to get attention or sympathy. |
| 118 | * IWarnedYou: She told people that Paul was the worst person in the game, and those in the Jury House learn it well upon watching how played they were by him. She also warned Josh that he couldn't think for himself, and when he finally did start thinking for himself and expressed disapproval with his own alliance's actions, it was too late for him to pull out of his alliance cleanly because Paul and Christmas firmly had their hooks in him. |
| 119 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: At her worst moments, she definitely qualifies as a jerk. However it's not her default state like it is with [[JerkJock Cody]] or [[HairTriggerTemper Josh]]. Also, like Cody, she does have redeeming qualities to her and did call him out on his uncaring behavior. |
| 120 | * LackOfEmpathy: Jess spent ''waaaay'' too much time plotting against other people for petty reasons and bullying them. Her blind hatred toward others ruined her run in the game. |
| 121 | * LadyMacbeth: Jessica was not only supportive of everything that Cody did in the game, but she would often be the one to push him to act more mean, antagonizing and aggressive to the other houseguests. It's especially noticeable that Jessica was the toxic influence on Cody while in the house because Cody has become way more recluse and non-combative since she has been evicted. |
| 122 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Jessica's bitchy attitude in the house eventually wore on ''everyone's'' nerves, even when she didn't have Cody there to amplify her hostile presence. And not only is she voted out without question, she's the last person voted out before the jury, meaning that she doesn't even get to have a say in the final winner of the game, and considering how nasty she was during the game, that's a ''blessing.'' |
| 123 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Cody of course. Considering that Jessica was the only one who had UndyingLoyalty and was his only solid ally and OnlyFriend in the entire house, it makes sense. Cody has reiterated to others that if Jessica left the game, he would have nothing and he would be completely loss. In Week 7 after Jessica is gone from the game, Cody becomes TheAloner and isolates himself from everyone, not even bothering to socialize with the remaining houseguests. Jessica was pretty much his only life force while in the game and without her, he's a shell of himself and has no drive to want to win. Jessica also checks and balances his personality because she serves to call him out several times for acting especially dickish when it's uncalled for in the game. She even worries that Cody has a bone to pick with life in general and will be like this after they go about having a relationship outside the house and it carries over to reality. |
| 124 | * MaleGaze: Introduced poolside in a very skimpy top with a very obvious in-your-face shot of her cleavage. And her outfit as host of the Inked & Evicted HOH is basically a racetrack girl in a bikini. |
| 125 | * ManipulativeBitch: Jessica will resort to using manipulation in order to get what she wants. Using her sexuality is part other strategy in manipulating Cody. |
| 126 | * MistakenForRacist: Jessica nicknamed Alex "Pao Pao" (after [[Characters/BigBrother16 Paola Shea]]). When she uses the nickname, Megan tells Alex that Jessica called Alex "Panda" (as Alex is Asian), in one of the rare moments before Jessica and Alex were at each others' throats, which causes Alex to terminate her friendship with Megan. This leads to an argument that [[spoiler:[[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom ends with Megan's departure from the game]]]]. |
| 127 | * MsFanservice: Jessica is known for wearing a lot of revealing clothing which shows off her "assets". |
| 128 | * MurderTheHypotenuse: Jessica made it her number one goal to target Alex and get her out of the house. She had the drive to get Alex out because she was extremely jealous of Alex and Cody's bond and relationship with her. Her obsession with having Alex targeted and evicted was due to the IrrationalHatred that she felt towards Alex because she felt personally threatened by her both on a game level and a personal level. |
| 129 | * OfficialCouple: Not long after his first eviction, Jessica's really dating Cody... [[FriendsWithBenefits among other things.]] |
| 130 | * OnlyFriend: Cody and Jessica, mutually, are each other's. And their relationship is actually beyond that of a mere showmance, it is a real, honest-to-goodness one, because she realizes she and Cody think alike, have each other's backs, and are willing to put everything aside to forgive, and they are disgusted by the fake showmances that stabbed them in the back. |
| 131 | * ParentalSubstitute: Kevin is hers, as she sees similar aspects of her own late father in him, as papa Graf was from Brooklyn and Kevin's Bostonian attitudes are very similar to his. This is why she is so hurt when Kevin starts acting nasty later on in the game. |
| 132 | * PlayingTheVictimCard: Whenever things don't go Jessica's way, she will pretend that she is the victim that was wronged by other people. Granted, a lot of the other houseguests have targeted and harassed Jessica and Cody, but much of it is self inflicted due to the fact that they mistreated other houseguests earlier on. Jessica pulling the victim card also makes her a bit of a hypocrite as she called out Josh for crying and pretending that he's a victim all of the time, but when things go bad for her, she will pretend that she's a victim. |
| 133 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Her comment about Josh being "Forest Gump" definitely qualifies, since it's using a mental disability to take a shot at another person. Not to mention she's made comments that can be considered [[RacialFaceBlindness lowkey racist]] as well. |
| 134 | * PoorCommunicationKills: Jessica hints to Paul that she has safety for the next few weeks, but [[CannotSpitItOut she never elaborates on the exact nature of her safety]]. As such, Paul nominates her and Cody for eviction, causing a huge fight in the house and forcing Jessica's hand if she wants to stay. |
| 135 | * ProducePelting: Josh's unwelcome arrival onto the scene in the lounge caused Jess to start flinging apples at his circus performance. |
| 136 | * RacialFaceBlindness: {{Invoked}} by Jessica who first compares the appearances of Alex and Paola, and then Dominique and Da'Vonne (whose physical similarities begin and end with being black women). |
| 137 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivered the one most comparable to Nicole's calling out the houseguests for being [[TooDumbToLive dumber than the shoes they wear]]. |
| 138 | * RefugeInAudacity: She realized Paul knew she took the third temptation, so she cleared the air and announced to the whole house she had the power to stop an eviction after the attempt to vote out Josh floundered to remind everyone she still had an ace in the hole. ''On live television in front of Julie and America.'' And she also bragged about shagging Cody in the house on Day 6... unless Raven is embellishing the story. |
| 139 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Subverted. While lying in one of the outdoor hammocks with Cody, Jessica thought to walk off the competition and convince Cody to join her (he thought she meant a ''romantic'' walk) when they were being rained on by virtually the entire house with a hateful roast, but didn't actually do it because Cody thought it was kinda disgraceful. Made a little {{Narm}}y when the hammock's overly loud creaking permeated the microphones. |
| 140 | * ShipTease: With Cody. |
| 141 | ** RelationshipUpgrade: Cody asked her to be his girlfriend on his eviction night, and as luck would have it, he returned to the game... now her boyfriend! [[BattleCouple Uh. Oh...]] |
| 142 | * SincerityMode: Jessica complimented Kevin [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe for his kindness as a person during the game]] in her livestreams. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to realize Kevin cut her loose from having a possible team-up with him and Cody because the two couldn't stop getting angry at the other houseguests, and that she needs to work out her anger less destructively. |
| 143 | * SmugSnake: She's baited Paul into putting her and Cody up for elimination so she can use the Halting Hex without revealing the true nature of its ability, and is all smiles afterwards, but little does she know that's exactly what Paul wants, who has a plan B waiting in the wing. |
| 144 | * SoreLoser: In general, when things don't go her way during the game, Jessica has a meltdown (Paul's victory, the house flipping during her HOH, Christmas staying). She's considered quitting a few times, even. |
| 145 | ** Exaggerated since her eviction. Jessica has been absolutely ''livid'' about her loss on Twitter, repeatedly using it to take personal shots at various houseguests and make nonstop personal attacks. Her first Instagram livestream post-eviction is practically radioactive. However, Jessica eases off after the bitterness of losing wears off and starts to come around and be nicer once everyone realizes that Jessica was ''right'' about nearly everybody left in the house being rotten all along. Also, watching Alex get her comeuppance and Josh figure out how to play on his own and realize he's gotten out of control and acknowledged he's the reason why a lot of people are mad at him made her absolutely happy. |
| 146 | * SpicyLatina: Jessica is Brazilian on her mother's side and she is also incredibly spunky, passionate and feisty. |
| 147 | * StepfordSnarker: Constantly uses sarcastic and cutting words as a defence mechanism to hide her negative emotions such as worry, sadness, anger or jealousy. Jessica's bitchy attitude could be also be the result of her trying to cover up the grief and depression that she feels over her father's death. |
| 148 | * StupidEvil: Jessica spent almost her entire game necessarily targeting Alex and talking trash about her all because she was [[GreenEyedMonster jealous]] of Alex and [[ClingyJealousGirl her bond, connection and relationship with Cody]] as well as having a complete IrrationalHatred for her. Even Alex manages to call Jessica out on her behaviour and attitude towards her in her Goodbye Video. |
| 149 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Jessica can either be very nice, affable and friendly or she can be very mean, cutting, and bitchy. It depends on who she's interacting with. She shows the friendly and affable side of her personality to a few houseguests such as Cody, Mark, Elena, and Kevin but shows the bitchy, catty, and mean spirited side of her personality to Alex, Paul, Josh, and Raven. |
| 150 | * TookALevelInKindness: Initially, after Cody was eliminated and Jessica went through her BreakTheHaughty scenario, she'd become far more humble, agreeable, and kind. This proved to be exceedingly short lived. |
| 151 | ** TookALevelInJerkass: The moment Jessica regained her power and became HOH, she once again beyond acting like an AlphaBitch, taking unnecessary shots at Alex, picking fights with people, mocking people's weight, and even fantasizing about murdering Alex. |
| 152 | * TraumaCongaLine: After taking all forms of insult from the house and just wanting to play the game as a fan, she becomes depressed for a real life reason- the anniversary of the day her father passed away coincides with the day before she's evicted, and Josh decides to pummel her with insults. And then does it again right as he learns she's been evicted. She holds herself together long enough to say goodbye to everyone, but once she's left their attention... she walks out onto the stage ''crying'' and telling Julie that Josh did something unforgivable. And then she has to take even more shit from the houseguests who recorded goodbye messages to rub it in her face, with some of it well-deserved and in good fun, but a lot of it also being plain douchey. |
| 153 | * TheVamp: Jessica resorts to using her feminine wiles and sexuality in order to get Cody to do what she wants. Unfortunately for her, her manipulations don't always work on Cody. |
| 154 | * ThrowTheDogABone: Jessica landed [[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/big-brother-winner-josh-martinez-is-doing-bold-and-the-beautiful-now/ar-AAsxKM2 a cameo role]] on ''Series/TheBoldAndTheBeautiful''. If anybody has the look of a soap opera starlet, it's Jessica. Josh, being the winner of the season, also got a role, too. That's not all- she and Cody have been invited to compete as a team on ''[[Series/TheAmazingRace The Amazing Race 30]]'', which hasn't happened to any houseguests since ''Big Brother 13''- and that's really saying something as to how popular they are. |
| 155 | * WhatTheHellHero: Jessica gave an absolutely ''savage'' [[TakeThat thrashing]] of Paul for his cluster bullying on a livestream the second she got home from her elimination. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLDUoVRGNs4 Behold.]] And she calls Raven a psychopath. |
| 156 | * YinYangClash: Any interactions between Alex and Jessica are tornadic. She also pulls the pin on Raven's temper, too. |

| 178 | ---- |
| 179 | |
| 180 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: More like Annoying Younger Houseguest. Although people liked Ramses on a personal level, many found him annoying on a game related level. There were frequent complaints about how Ramses was a nuisance to the others because he acted very sneaky and sketchy by constantly sneaking into rooms and listening in on people's conversations in attempts to gather information. |
| 181 | * TheBeard: Ramses controversially admitted during Dominique's talk show interview that he used to date girls even though he wasn't sexually attracted to them and was gay. He was in the closet about his sexuality because his family was strongly religious. Therefore, he felt the need to date the opposite sex to appear straight because he didn't want to be an embarrassment to his family. |
| 182 | * {{BFS}}: If you watch him in his intro package, this is one of his many props- he wields Ryuko Matoi's half of the Scissor Blade from ''Anime/KillLaKill'' while decked out in a self-made futuristic battle armor. |
| 183 | * BlackAndNerdy: Being a cosplayer and self-proclaimed Big Brother Superfan, Ramses certainly fits. |
| 184 | * ButtMonkey: Basically turns into the whupping boy for Paul after he refuses to go along with any of his plans and actually flees from him in fear upon entering the same room with him. And on top of that, Kevin started doting on him. Soon followed by him being picked on by Cody in an HOH competition and then going up for eviction by Jessica all because he's the odd man out in the house with all of his allies from the first few weeks kicked out. Then he was next to follow, and a Twitter comment immediately read "Aww. Goodnight sweet prince. [=#Ramses=]". |
| 185 | * CampGay: Per Big Brother tradition, after all. Not as prevalent as some in the past, but he still has some very [[StealthPun fruitful]] moments. |
| 186 | * CannotKeepASecret: Whenever Ramses received any kind of game information, he would immediately spill it to his close allies. The guy seriously couldn't keep information to himself. No wonder the guy had a reputation of being sketchy and being a rat. |
| 187 | * CelebrityResemblance: Ramses has been compared to Jaleel White as Steve Urkel. Rather hilariously, [[ContrivedCoincidence Jaleel White is shown in a promo on the set]] for ''Me, Myself and I'' and Josh asks, "Is that Urkel?" and is given confirmation. If only Ramses made it that far in the game, it could have been a really funny set up for, "No, it's Ramses!" |
| 188 | * ComingOutStory: Ramses recently came out as gay to his parents and his older brother. Fortunately for him, all of them accepted him and his sexuality. |
| 189 | * [[CosplayOtakuGirl Cosplay Otaku Boy]]: After all, he's a professional cosplayer. |
| 190 | * DirtyCoward: After his alliance of misfits and outspoken good guy types fell apart, Ramses liked to slink around the house and eavesdrop on people while they weren't watching to probe information about alliances and game plans rather than team up with anyone else. When he walked into a room with Paul after upsetting the man, Ramses ducked right back out. Paul was quick to call him out in the Diary Room for doing something so stupid because it proved he feared Paul. |
| 191 | * DramaticIrony: He was cursed by the effects of Paul's 3-week-long Pendant of Protection and forced to place himself up for eviction in one of the next three upcoming weeks after Paul took the Temptation. Ramses chose to put himself up for eviction the same week Paul tried to eject Cody from the game. Eventually, he got evicted anyway. |
| 192 | * FunnyForeigner: Heavily downplayed. Ramses is a playful, silly, and lighthearted geeky guy who grew up in the Dominican Republic but spent enough time in the United States that he is a bona-fide American with a slight touch of a Latino accent. |
| 193 | * GayBestFriend: To Jillian and Alex. Out of everyone in the house, Ramses was the closest to Jillian and Alex. He was quite upset and distraught when Jillian was evicted from the house. |
| 194 | * GayGuySeeksPopularJock: Ramses openly admitted to having an infatuation or a crush on Mark. Mark is known to be the most athletic male in the house next to Cody. Ramses admitted to Elena that he wished that he could have his own personal version of Mark. Mark was also very affectionate with Ramses and he would act playful around him on the live feeds. Mark would lift Ramses up with ease while using him as a weight during his workout routines. It was clear there was a strong degree of affection on both sides. |
| 195 | * {{Gayngst}}: Played Straight. Ramses spent the majority of his teenaged life struggling to come to terms with his sexuality and being gay. Most of his hesitation in coming out to his family had to do with his fear of not being accepted for who he is because he comes from a strongly religious family. Fortunately, after Ramses does come out, he embraces himself and is much happier. Ramses stated that he recently came out to his older brother before coming into the house. |
| 196 | * GeekPhysique: Ramses is nerdy and has a noticeably skinny body. |
| 197 | * GenkiBoy: Ramses has a very outgoing, energetic, fun loving personality and he gets easily excited. |
| 198 | * GenreBlind: Judging by the fact that he seems to have only seen the first three seasons, he obviously is familiar with how a CreatorsPet can alter the game. Unfortunately, he is ''not'' an expert of knowing ''when'' to act out of place without it hurting him in the long run. |
| 199 | * GenreRefugee: He comes into the house boasting about cosplay and anime and Comic-Con... and gets dead silence and blank stares from ''everyone''. Jason turns his head sideways in confusion in the Diary Room, and Kevin hesitantly inquires, "'Cockplay'...?" |
| 200 | * GoneHorriblyWrong: He attempted to throw a [=POV=] challenge and managed to take ''second place'', immediately arousing the suspicion of Paul that he was trying to get himself off the vote, even though he wasn't trying to at all. As a result, he became on the outs. Until finally, he went up as a pawn and Paul got his side of the house to vote against him because they wanted to keep Cody and Jessica from evicting Josh. |
| 201 | * HistoryRepeats: [[Characters/BigBrother17 Once again, the token queer of the season goes out in thirteenth place after going up on the block twice in a row.]] |
| 202 | * HonorBeforeReason: Promised his family he would not throw any challenges, even though Paul told Ramses to do so with the promise he would owe him one and he would not go home if he did. |
| 203 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: With Kevin, seeing him as a dad figure. Kevin's goodbye message cemented their friendship. |
| 204 | * IronicName: Someone named "Ramses" suffered a [[Characters/CourageTheCowardlyDogMinorVillains curse]] on the show because someone took something they weren't supposed to. |
| 205 | * JawDrop: A FunnyBackgroundEvent during the finale, after the last of Paul's votes from the Jury is tallied. When the third vote for Josh to win is read by Julie, Ramses gapes in amazement and cups his hand over his mouth, realizing that the vote is going the other way. When the ''fourth'' vote for Josh comes up, he, Dominique, Jillian, Cameron, and Jessica all start to freak out and loud shouts of awe start erupting from the crowd and some of the Jury. |
| 206 | * LargeHam: Ramses is a very spastic and wacky personality and his actions, heavier and movements are very exaggerated. Comes with being CampGay. |
| 207 | * MotorMouth: In his self-introduction to the houseguests, he basically hit them with a rapid-fire {{Infodump}} about topical stuff only he was privy about and left them all ''very'' confused. |
| 208 | * NerdGlasses: One of the first things that's noticeable about his physical appearance which definitely makes him BlackAndNerdy. |
| 209 | * NiceGuy: Out of a season filled with many unlikeable personalities and houseguests, Ramses has turned out to be one of the most genuinely nice houseguests of the season. It's too bad that good houseguests like Ramses were targeted early on and didn't have a chance to make it farther in the game. |
| 210 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: |
| 211 | ** Ramses is secretly a Big Brother superfan, but he's pretending not to know much about the game so that he'll be underestimated by others. |
| 212 | ** {{Subverted}} when he calls himself a super fan to Alex, Jillian, and Megan on the first day. Then {{inverted}} when it turned out that Ramses had only seen three seasons and wasn't even close to the biggest fan in the house. |
| 213 | * OutOfFocus: Julie does not have anything to say to him as he sits in at the finale of the show. |
| 214 | * QueerPeopleAreFunny: Ramses is the sole gay houseguest of the season and he's one of the funniest people in the house. Many of the houseguests felt that Ramses had a good sense of humor. |
| 215 | * SpannerInTheWorks: He had the misfortune of not only being cursed by Paul's Temptation, but choosing to deal with the effects at the same time Paul planned to use a backdoor strategy to get Cody out of the game. Ramses had to offer himself as a nominee for elimination, and Paul feared if he won a Head of Household competition, he'd act to take himself off the nominees while Paul threw up two pawns, Josh and Alex, forcing the house to vote one out unwillingly and allowing Cody to turn the tables on Paul. On top of that, Ramses improperly threw the Power of Veto challenge that very same week of the fateful vote and had the second best time after Paul (who won), which made him look very suspicious. He also flipped on a vote because he didn't want to get rid of Alex. Culminating in his swift push out the door when Paul easily showed the house that [[TheCorruptible Josh]] would be a more viable option than [[HonorBeforeReason untrustworthy]] Ramses. |
| 216 | * TagalongKid: Ramses is the youngest houseguest of the season. With his eviction, either Raven or Josh end up being the youngest houseguest. |
| 217 | * UnwittingPawn: Used as Jessica's second option in eviction nomination beside Josh, thinking the house would want to get rid of him over Ramses. Until Paul came along and decided to get people to vote for Ramses and gained a majority vote. |

| 239 | ---- |
| 240 | * AgainstMyReligion: Dominique has said that she hates lying, backstabbing and manipulating other people in order to get further in the game mostly because her faith and God wouldn't approve of such behavior. |
| 241 | * ArchEnemy: '''Paul'''. Understandably so considering that it was Paul who orchestrated Dominique's demise. |
| 242 | * BadassBoast: She's most definitely not afraid to make threats or call out people especially when she feels she's been betrayed or wronged somehow. During a Veto Ceremony in Week 3 when she was on the block alongside Jessica, she made a speech about how Paul is a snake and can't be trusted because of how he's a liar and a backstabber. Unfortunately for her, her constant need to make threats and call other people out only managed to make her a huge target and also make nobody trust her. |
| 243 | * BigGood: How Dominique saw herself. She felt that she was the ultimately good houseguest in the house and the one that was meant to defeat all the evil forces in the game. She had a mentality that God put her in the house to get rid of the bad players so that she can make sure that good prevails and gets to the end to win the game. |
| 244 | * BigSisterInstinct: Played Straight towards Mark, Jessica, Raven, Josh and the rest of her alliance members. Outside of her alliance, she also had a strong big sister instinct towards Josh. Dominique was one of the few people who actually cared for Josh on a personal level whenever everyone was ostracizing him because of his immature behavior. Dominique would give Josh advice on how to act and try to calm him down if he became too emotional. |
| 245 | * BrainyBrunette: Dominique is intelligent and TheSmartGirl plus she's got dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin. |
| 246 | * BrutalHonesty: Dominique often let her bluntness and her over honesty affect her game. She was almost too honest to the point that her frankness ended up being her downfall in the game. If Dominique just toned down the bluntness, she probably would have made it farther. |
| 247 | * ButtMonkey: After Dominique's entire game was blown up and she ended up being the main target for eviction, nearly ''everyone'' ended up shunning her. They didn't even attempt to talk to her or even try to empathize with her position and they all ended up taking Paul's side over Dominique's in the rivalry between the two of them. To make things worse, Dominique spent her last week in the house on unfriendly terms with nearly everyone, including the people that she was in an alliance with. Even ''Mark'', her closest friend and ally in the game, had thrown her to the wolves and didn't side with her. |
| 248 | * TheCassandra: She spent her last week in the house pointing out that Paul is a backstabber. Boy did that turn out to bite everyone. |
| 249 | * DeadpanSnarker: Dominique has a very sarcastic and snarky sense of humor. Comes with being a SassyBlackWoman. |
| 250 | * DeepSouth: Dominique is originally from Tuskagee, Alabama. Due to being from the South, she has strong Southern values, most notably the dedication that she has to her faith or religion. |
| 251 | * DespairEventHorizon: Once she realizes that everyone has turned on her and nobody trusts her due to her poor gameplay, Dominique loses all hope and becomes extremely cynical about her life span in the game. |
| 252 | * TheDragon: For Cody and then for Paul. Dominique had originally been working for Cody in the very first week but she ended up pledging her allegiance and her UndyingLoyalty to Paul once Cody decided to turn on the entire alliance by throwing all of his allies under the bus. |
| 253 | * TheFundamentalist: Dominique is strongly religious and she expresses those views openly in the house. She doesn't care if she faces any criticisms about expressing her faith because she believes that her faith and her belief in God is something that's right and good. She's even gone as far as to openly state that she believes that God is helping her in the game. |
| 254 | * GiveMeASign: Constantly preached to God to help her out in the game whenever she felt that she was in trouble. The fact that she constantly prayed and preached to God to help her during the week that she was being evicted made her come across as slightly unhinged. |
| 255 | * GoodIsNotNice: Dominique is a NiceGirl most of the time and she's shown to be super kind, compassionate, caring, and empathetic towards everyone. However, even though she does have compassion for pretty much everyone, she won't always extend her kindness to those who don't deserve it, such as people who have betrayed her or people who are cruel and mean spirited. |
| 256 | * GoodShepherd: Dominique constantly preaches and uses her faith and religion to help herself as well as others in the game. She has a strong belief that her faith and religion plays a huge part in her success in the game. She would even use her faith in order to give other people that she was close with or aligned with some hope in the game. She's basically become a spiritual guide for the other people in the house. |
| 257 | * HatedByAll: The houseguests turned against Dom when they caught onto her using her talk show interviews with other houseguests as a way of gaining intel or information from them and then eventually using that game info against others to benefit herself if she needs to later on. Paul started the Anti-Dominique campaign first but then eventually everyone else followed suit and turned on Dominique as well. On the week that she was nominated and was the intended target to go home, everyone shunned her and she was the most ostracized houseguest in the house. Nobody wanted to talk to her, be around her or even be in the same room as her. Dominique also became disliked by the other houseguests not just on a game level but on a person level because of the way Dominique acted while she was on the block. Her bitter, angry and petty attitude towards the others did nothing to help change opinions about her and wanting to keep her in the game. |
| 258 | * HolierThanThou: Her enthusiasm about the Lord got her in trouble when she started preaching a little ''too'' aggressively in the house and made everyone think she was loco, resulting in a shut-out eviction where neither Jason nor Jessica needed to use their powers to influence the final outcome. However, Paul told her "Philosophy outside the house", as he wanted to discuss it seriously with her sometime, due to being well acquainted with philosophy himself. It could also be interpreted as a takeaway tip not to get zealous in the house in front of everybody to avoid unwanted attention. |
| 259 | * InsultBackfire: She made the cardinal error of letting herself be reeled into losing her cool, trying to tell how Paul was a snake without any concrete proof to inflict real damage. Paul took it in stride and started pushing her buttons while her temper went through the roof. The more she ran her mouth, the worse she made herself look, until it got to the point where Jason decided he didn't even need to whip out the Power of Veto. |
| 260 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Dominique was incredibly self absorbed and HolierThanThou when it came to her religion. She believed that she was TheChosenOne that God wanted to help win the game. After her game blew up, she also gained a huge superiority complex and ended up shunning all of her other housemates out of pettiness and bitterness. |
| 261 | * TheLancer: To Jessica. Dominique served as a {{Foil}} to her. While Jessica was more HotBlooded, passionate, feisty, and emotional, Dominique was more of TheStoic and OnlySaneWoman who was calm, logical and practical minded. Whenever Jessica would let her emotions get the best of her or influence her game, Dominique would be the one to pull her back. She very much had somewhat of a BigSisterInstinct and BigSisterMentor type of relationship with Jessica in the first week of the game. |
| 262 | * LovedByAll: Subverted. While playing the game, Dom was one of the most well liked houseguests in the game. Every one liked her company and she was easily adapted into the largest alliance in the house at the beginning, the alliance being Cody's majority alliance that he created during his reign as HOH. Nobody was actively targeting her or wanted her to go home, even though she was someone that would eventually become a big threat because of how strong and smart she was. However, her popularity amongst the houseguests took a serious decline once she exposed her sneaky game play to the other houseguests. |
| 263 | * MsFanservice: Modeled her body in the "Inked & Evicted" competition. |
| 264 | * NiceGirl: Very affable to all the others, even hosting a faux talk show with the others and goofing off with the others. The others even celebrate her birthday with a very specific cake. However, despite being a generally nice person, she can also be very aggressive and feisty, especially to those that she believes are deserving it. Just because Dominique is a nice girl doesn't mean that [[BewareTheNiceOnes she's any pushover]]. |
| 265 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: |
| 266 | ** She is strategically hiding her true occupation as a government engineer so that she'll be underestimated. |
| 267 | ** This applies to Dominique's gameplay as well; she actively tries to fly under the radar and come off as a little clueless and out of place to make the other houseguests underestimate. Unfortunately, the façade collapses very quickly once Paul finds a way to nick at her armor. |
| 268 | * OnlyFriend: To Josh and Mark. This is later on subverted, as after Dominique is evicted, both Josh and Mark end up making other friends and building new allies. |
| 269 | * OnlySaneWoman: In Cody's alliance in the first week, it seemed that while everyone else was more emotional and impulsive, Dominique was the one who was the most logical when discussing game. She would often be the one to talk down ideas or plans that her other allies would create or make that wouldn't make sense. However, it could later on be considered subverted as when Dominique was facing eviction, she became a little bit unhinged due to a SanitySlippage. She was right about Paul being a schemer and manipulator though, she still had some of her sanity. |
| 270 | * OutOfFocus: Did you even know she was in the house? Probably cause [[SpotlightStealingSquad Paul, Cody, and Jessica take up 98% of the screentime]]. [[ADayInTheLimelight But you most certainly will when her turn comes up.]] Julie doesn't say anything to her on the finale night, either. |
| 271 | * PrayerIsALastResort: Downplayed. Dominique is strongly religious and does pray everyday, but she tends to go into prayer mode when she feels that she is facing trouble in the game. During the week that she was nominated and was going to be evicted, Dominique increased the amount of times she prayed each day because she felt that praying and reaching out to God would help her somehow in the game. |
| 272 | * PrayerOfMalice: Downplayed again. Dominique spent most of the time praying because of her deep faith and belief in God due to being strongly religious. However, although she did normally pray with good intentions because she was looking for guidance from God to help her in the game, she also prayed a few times for some of the other houseguests games to be blown up or exploded out of anger, namely Paul's. But this made sense since Dominique felt hat Paul was a snake, a liar and a backstabber and she wanted him to get his dose of karma for throwing her under the bus and betraying her. |
| 273 | * [[RealMenLoveJesus Real Women Love Jesus]]: Dominique is deeply and strongly religious. She has a strong and deep belief in God and that God is guiding her in the game. Unfortunately for her, her strong beliefs have made her come across as TheFundamentalist who has taken her preaching of her religious beliefs to the extreme much to the annoyance of the rest of the houseguests. |
| 274 | * RedBaron: Dominique has given herself the nickname or title '''"Dominique The Dominator"'''. Funny thing is is that Dominique was absolutely dominating the game from the very start, but her game fell apart rather quickly when she made reckless and stupid decisions and choices that ended up costing her game. |
| 275 | * ReligiousBruiser: Has a "dope relationship with God," but will stop at nothing to win the game. Unfortunately for her, her religion and her constant preaching of God managed to put a bigger target on her back as there were some who believed that Dominique shouldn't bring up the topic of religion or her faith into the game. |
| 276 | * SanitySlippage: Yikes. When Dominique ended up being targeted because of her poor and messy gameplay, her emotions most definitely got the best of her. Once she was nominated and she discovered that she was the actual target due to her sketch behavior (the original target was supposed to be Jessica), she slowly started to descend into a pool of insanity. During the week that she was going to be evicted, Dominique had an emotional and mental breakdown. She ended up throwing all of the other houseguests under the bus (including her allies), isolated herself from everyone, and began preaching about God and her faith to herself. The other houseguests commented how Dominique was completely losing it and had mentally and emotionally checked out of the game due to her game being blown up. |
| 277 | * SassyBlackWoman: When Dominique gets angry and irritated, she can become quite sarcastic, sassy and will end up having a rather sharp tongue in which she'll end up lashing out. |
| 278 | * ShootTheShaggyDog: Dominique held talk show interviews with the other houseguests in order to gain information from them to use to her advantage in the future, but people catch onto what she's doing and she becomes the biggest target in the house. Her strategy of trying to be sociable ended up blowing up in her face big time. |
| 279 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: Dominique was often seen at the chess table a lot with Mark. She seemed to show enjoyment in playing chess while in the house. |
| 280 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Dominique is TheSmartGirl and a BrainyBrunette and she wears glasses. Her glasses emphasize the fact that she is highly intelligent (she's a government engineer after all) and is also strongly strategic game wise. |
| 281 | * SupportingLeader: She very much played this role to Cody and Jessica in the first week. Even though Cody and Jessica were at the top of the hierarchy in regards to power, many alliance members actually looked to Dominique as a secondary leader. Dominique very much had strong leadership skills that would prove to be more effective than Cody and Jessica. She would try to take the lead in regards to who should be nominated, who should be targeted, or who should be voted out. Plus, she is the one who often steers the rest of the alliance members back into line if they ever go out of whack somehow. She had a very mentor like relationship with Mark for example, trying to advise him to make the right game moves whenever possible. It also appeared that more people preferred to talk to Dominique than to Cody and Jessica because Dominique was very wise and a good listener. |
| 282 | * TokenEvilTeammate: How Paul saw her in his alliance. According to Paul, Dominique was the root cause of the dissension within the house because she was a huge liar who was throwing everyone under the bus and causing tension and disharmony to ensue amongst other houseguests because of her desire to stir the pot. In reality, she was actually telling the truth about Paul and his intentions regarding how he was a "snake" and in actuality, she's actually the TokenGoodTeammate when looking at the bigger picture. |
| 283 | * TokenReligiousTeammate: She is a very deep-rooted Christian woman who brings her faith to the game, which isn't a bad thing by any means, but it's sometimes at the behest of others when she gets a wee too fanatical. |
| 284 | * TomboyishBaseballCap: Dominique has a red ballcap, which she's sometimes seen wearing, which tends to be paired with her cat-eye glasses. |
| 285 | * TooDumbToLive: She had a fun idea of making a talkshow with everyone participating and her being the host and interviewing the nominees. While questioning Cody, she asks a question about their original alliance, which basically gave crucial information to the other houseguests not involved and put a target on her back. |
| 286 | * TwoFirstNames: Dominique's first and last name (Cooper) can be used as given first names. Dominique is a feminine given name while Cooper is more of a masculine given name. |
| 287 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Thanks in part due to [[SpotlightStealingSquad Paul taking up almost all the screentime]]. |

| 310 | ---- |
| 311 | |
| 312 | * AllLovingHeroine: Jillian was the kindest girl in the house this season, bar none. She treated everyone as sweetly as she could and never picked any fights with anybody, and only suffered because others around her were acting really crappy. |
| 313 | * BreakTheCutie: When Jillian realized she was stuck on the block after blundering the Veto competition with Cody badly screwing up her pawn status and people suddenly turning tail on her, she broke down in tears in the Diary Room. |
| 314 | * ButtMonkey: Has gotten ''very'' unlucky throughout the game. After surviving the block day one, Jillian was nominated yet again, this time next to Megan. She thought she would be safe because Megan was a bigger target than her, but Megan left and was replaced by a smaller target, leaving Jillian scrambling for safety. Then Cody ''completely'' screwed the pooch trying to backdoor Paul without anticipating he'd be given a temptation as a fan favorite and put up Christmas... then Jillian was bust. And then she did disastrously in the Maze Race of the Battle-Back Showdown and it was back to Las Vegas for her. And then "Under the Weather" cites her "storm" (game) as "unimpressive" along with Cameron's. |
| 315 | -->"Why am I always Bad News Bear?" |
| 316 | * CassandraTruth: Jillian was the first person in the house beyond Cody to note how Paul was really bad news to everyone else and not to be trusted while the gang was still celebrating. Quite predictably, [[LooseLips she didn't get very far into the game]]. |
| 317 | * TheCutie: Jillian's genuinely sweet and NiceGirl nature contributes to her being a rather lovable individual. |
| 318 | * DamselInDistress: Jillian was in peril or trouble when she was put on the block in Week 1. But Cody had the intention of keeping her in the game and saving her by making a deal with Alex and Jason in exchange for Jillian's safety. Unfortunately for Jillian, she ended up being evicted anyways. |
| 319 | * DidntSeeThatComing: Was quite literally jaw-dropped by her eviction, as Jillian felt extremely confident that Jessica, Cody, and Alex had secured the needed votes for her. |
| 320 | * TheDitz: Jillian seemed like she wasn't all that smart or aware. She was very naive and gullible and didn't have the best game instincts. Jillian didn't seem to be aware of what was going on in the game and she often sounded like she was completely oblivious to most things. At times, she definitely fit the DumbBlonde trope. Even the manner in which Jillian spoke came across as ditzy and air headed. |
| 321 | * DramaQueen: More of an InformedAttribute, because Jillian never had a chance to get around to acting all dramatic like others during the game. Jillian packs her best "drama queen" award with her to take to the house as a warning, "[[BewareTheNiceOnes You don't want to provoke the fire, kay?]]" |
| 322 | * DumbBlonde: Not really dumb, just naïve. She got used and cast aside very quickly in the game. |
| 323 | * TheFashionista: Most of the clothes Jillian wears are sleeveless dresses, floral print dresses, necklaces, and beachside attire. However, in casual clothes, she's usually rocking an athletic/yoga look; she's in a hoodie or t-shirt, sweats, and just socks or her bare feet, donning athletic sneakers when she needs them. |
| 324 | * FormerlyFat: Jillian's a weight loss surgery patient. She brings up how her family is always doing things together, but when made a trip to Europe and realized they were all wickedly overweight (she calls it "like the second coming of the wooly mammoth"), so they went down to Tijuana to have the surgery. Jillian also got her Tijuana tattoo as a meaningful reminder of this trip and to stay in shape. |
| 325 | * GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: Jillian is most definitely a GirlyGirl and she indulges in all things that are girly and feminine but she does have a very tomboyish side to her. She does love to dress up a lot in fashionable and trendy clothing and wear high heeled shoes but she also has a very athletic and casual side to her where she likes to wear nothing but jeans, a t-shirt, a TomboyishPonytail and sneakers. |
| 326 | * GracefulLoser: Jillian took being blindsided and evicted very well. She showed absolutely no anger or bitterness in her exit interview and openly admitted that she was outplayed in the game. Her Instagram posts as she keeps up with the season at home and her takeaway comments are also very positive. |
| 327 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Jillian is blonde and happens to be a NiceGirl and an AllLovingHeroine who is genuinely a good and kind person. After weeks of many of the other houseguests' true colors coming out, it seems as though Jillian was one of the most genuinely nice people in the house. |
| 328 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Alex to the point where they were each other's OnlyFriend. Alex was pretty much Jillian's only closest friend and ally in the house. Makes sense why they were so close since she didn't seem to have any time to make any other solid allies other than her as she was evicted so early in the game. |
| 329 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Despite some of her more irritating qualities–such as her naivety, her gullibility and her flightiness–Jillian is ultimately the nicest person. |
| 330 | * JawDrop: Upon learning she was bumped out of the game because her worth as a player paled to Alex, Jillian took a flabbergasted pause [[WhatTheHellHero while gaping at her fellow housemates for tossing her to the curb.]] Her jaw drop at the announcement of her eviction seriously rivals Danielle Murphree from [=BB14=] after Dan had blindsided her and sent Shane home. |
| 331 | * KillTheCutie: Jillian was completely blindsided when she was evicted that she even ended up having a shocked expression along with a JawDrop. |
| 332 | * MotorMouth: Jillian is a mega conversationalist and she loves to talk. Expected since Jillian is such a GenkiGirl who's upbeat, cheery and optimistic about everything in life. No wonder Villain and Alex instantly bonded with each other-they both love to hear themselves talk! |
| 333 | * MsFanservice: Modeled her body in the "Inked & Evicted" competition. And it's worth noting she once won a beauty contest, too. |
| 334 | * NiceGirl: During her stay in the Big Brother house, Jillian has been nothing but kind and respectful to the other houseguests. And sadly, when you're unwilling to dip your fingers in the dark side on this show or choose to play the game as a nice person but don't have a cunning mind to save yourself, you get knocked out of the game ''fast.'' |
| 335 | * OnlyFriend: To Alex. However, this is later subverted as after Jillian leaves, Alex becomes friends with many other people including Paul, Josh, Jason, and Christmas. |
| 336 | * OutOfFocus: She only got one Diary Room session shown in her eviction episode, and Julie does not have anything to say to her as he sits in at the finale of the show. However, Josh does have a hard time getting her cardboard warrior cutout to fall in the second leg of the final HOH Competition. She's also one of the first people to run up and hug him and congratulate him, causing him to laugh. |
| 337 | * PluckyGirl: Has a very positive, upbeat and optimistic attitude no matter what the circumstance. She even managed to take her blindside eviction very well and she remained positive and not bitter. |
| 338 | * ThePollyanna: She told Paul she is usually "all sunshine and rainbows". |
| 339 | * TheSmartGirl: ''Amazingly'', yes. After she went home, she sent Megan on Twitter a picture of Paul as Jesus with the faces of all seven of his biggest pawns on sheep, with Josh being the one in his hands. |
| 340 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: Jillian's overwhelmingly kind nature had a lousy showing in a game where people are often meaner than snakes. When she got pitted against a house with some of the most predatory contestants yet, it wasn't long before she faltered after putting her fate in the hands of the wrong people. And the saddest thing of all was that none of her sucky luck in the house was her fault, but part of the chain reaction of Josh taking the golden apple. |
| 341 | * TomboyishPonytail: Sometimes, Jillian ties her hair back and looks surprisingly more mature. |
| 342 | * TrueCompanions: She is one for Josh, as the two had a riveting conversation about Tijuana (where she got her weight loss surgery and commemorative tattoo) and Josh, being Latino and of Cuban background, is fond of Tijuana. Unfortunately, Josh also had fondness with Christmas and ConflictedLoyalties led him to flip against Cody and Jessica. |
| 343 | * TrueLove: Jillian has found solace in her adoring boyfriend back home. |
| 344 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her eviction caused Jessica and Christmas to fight. |
| 345 | * UnwittingPawn: |
| 346 | ** In soooooo many ways. Firstly, she was a pawn (against her will) when the goal was to evict Megan, and Jillian was feeling pretty confident in her odds, understanding what her role was and choosing to keep a low profile. However, when Megan self-evicted, things quickly spiraled out of control as Jillian found herself trapped as a pawn and being placed on the block against Christmas, where Jillian ultimately went from being Cody's unwitting pawn to Christmas's unwitting pawn when Christmas flipped the house to save herself and target Cody. Jillian's entire role in Big Brother was being used as a pawn by the house in an attempt to take out other, bigger targets. |
| 347 | ** And if you want to add another layer onto this, Jillian herself had no chance to gain any kind of safety because Josh received the golden apple and terminated her involvement in the HOH comp early after he pressured his teammates into going first. |
| 348 | ** Even funnier to the point above, she never had a chance at all because Kevin was also on the team and had to throw the comp at some point due to taking the first Temptation. Josh removed the dirty work for him. |
| 349 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: She had a chance in the game when Megan was still participating. The second Megan dropped out and Alex took her place, her alliance put more stock in Alex and Jillian became a victim of circumstance. |

| 369 | ->'''HOH Evicted Under:''' CODY (Week 1, Day 8) |
| 370 | ---- |
| 371 | * AscendedFangirl: Megan admits to being a huge fan of Big Brother. She openly admits that she was a huge fan of Paul during his time as a houseguest on Big Brother 18 and that she was rooting for him to win the game. She is also a big fan of the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' series and she has read all of the books. She's also a mega fan of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' and she loves to play it on her laptop during her downtime. Television wise, she's stated that she's a big fan of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' and she can make quotes from all of the episodes. |
| 372 | * BreakTheCutie: Started when Josh accused her of being a snake, then the rest of the house followed in on her. She had a severe breakdown in the Diary Room that prompted the producers to come in off-screen and quietly urge her leave the game for her own sake, [[OptOut which she did.]] |
| 373 | * BrokenBird: Megan suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to being sexually assaulted in the military. Her PTSD was triggered after Cody and Josh bullied her and gotten into a fight with her which resulted in her quitting the game because she was so mentally and emotionally distraught and broken down over being picked on. |
| 374 | * ButtMonkey: Megan was widely disliked by the rest of the house and she was constantly picked on. This is someone who had gotten into altercations and fights with four different houseguests (Cody, Jessica, Alex, and Josh) within the span of a week. The other houseguests also have nothing but negative things to say about her. On top of it, Megan also suffers from PTSD which occurred after she was sexually assaulted in the military. Her PTSD ended up suffering an emotional breakdown after being triggered due to Josh and Cody bullying her. |
| 375 | * ConsummateLiar: {{Subverted}}. Almost the entire house believed Megan to be this, with her inaccurate claims that Jessica was calling Alex a "Panda" (which is a racial and ethnic slur for someone who's of Chinese descent) when in reality, Megan misheard Jessica calling Alex "Pao Pao", which is the nickname of former Big Brother 16 houseguest Paola Shea. |
| 376 | * DamselInDistress: Played Straight. Megan was someone in dire need of attention and help as she suffered a breakdown because of her PTSD. After Megan was confronted by Alex, Jessica, Cody and Josh, she ended up having a serious meltdown in the DR. She couldn't handle all of the tension and criticism being thrown her way. So she crumbled on an emotional level because everybody refused to believe her claims about Jessica making a racist comment or calling Alex a racist nickname (which was Pao Pao but Megan had misheard her say Panda). Alex didn't believe her and Jessica didn't tell the truth about what she said about Alex behind her back in order to clear things up and take the heat off of Megan. Megan was so much of a distressed damsel that not only did she suffer an intense breakdown, but she even quit the game because she couldn't handle it. |
| 377 | * DespairEventHorizon: Megan ends up suffering a complete breakdown after she gets into arguments and confrontations with Alex, Jessica, Cody and Josh. She loses hope that anyone would believe her regarding what happened about the Alex and Jessica situation and feels that she can't take all of the chaos that's surrounding her. As a result, Megan ends up breaking down in the DR and quits the game. It turned out that Megan broke down and quit the game because she has PTSD and it was triggered by all of the excessive confrontation that was being hurled at her all at once. |
| 378 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Megan changed her hair dye into a technicolor blue and magenta for the game, but before and after her short stay in the house, she had gray hair, reverting back. |
| 379 | * FatalFlaw: Her [[TheParanoiac Paranoia.]] It caused her to over-analyze an innocent statement Jessica made about Alex, and Megan skewed it into racism. The game subsequently became her worst nightmare. |
| 380 | * FemaleMisogynist: In her pre season interview, Megan admitted that she doesn't usually like other women and she doesn't get along with them. She has stated that she prefers the company of men over women. |
| 381 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Megan was the first person to hug Paul (the one closest to the entrance) as he walked through the doors of the house. She ended up pulling out of the game in the first week. |
| 382 | * GamerChick: Similar to her fellow houseguest Alex, Megan has stated in her pre season interview that one of her favorite hobbies or pastimes is playing video games. In this regard, she is very much a tomboy who enjoys male dominated activities. One of her favorite video games that she loves to play is ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''. |
| 383 | * TheGhost: After Megan had quit the game, she basically became invisible and non existent to the season. In fact, she was such a non factor, that she didn't even show up to the Season Finale![[note]](one of the stipulations about leaving the game is that you relinquish your involvement in the game on all levels to avoid having any unjust influence/say on the events in the house, and that includes the finale; Dick Donato is so far the only exception because he was a dedicated player, a past winner, and the father of Danielle Donato, who stayed in the game). It's probably justified though since her PTSD was triggered while in the house and she probably wants nothing to do with Big Brother as she would probably end up reliving flashbacks of her horrible experience.[[/note]] Megan even decided to sell her Big Brother duffle bag post-competition. |
| 384 | * HatedByAll: According to Cody, everyone in the house either disliked or hated Megan, to the point that she was targeted right off the bat by all of the other houseguests. The other guests referred to her as unfriendly, insufferable, and "a basket case." However, attitudes towards her softened at the news she'd had a breakdown over a personal matter, which led to her quitting the show. |
| 385 | * HeroesLoveDogs: Megan LOVES dogs with a giant passion. Understandable considering that she's a dog walker for a living! She's even admitted that one of the things that she would miss most while she's in the house are her dogs because she doesn't know how she would ever get by without them. |
| 386 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: She was a Middle East interrogator and met the band ''Music/{{KISS}}''. |
| 387 | * HeroicBSOD: After getting into a fight with Alex, Cody, Josh and Jessica, Megan goes into complete shock and ends up having a meltdown which ends up triggering her [[ShellShockedVeteran PTSD]] and causing her to self evict. From our perspective Megan spent a long time MIA in the Diary Room, but the truth is what happened was too graphic to show on even the live feeds. Megan went into a straight-on '''panic attack''' and was rescued by concerned staff who led her out of the house and rushed her to the hospital. Her post-game interview with ''The Desert Sun'' [[http://www.desertsun.com/story/life/entertainment/television/2017/06/30/megan-lowder-ptsd-previous-assault-reason-she-left-big-brother-house-early/444830001/ reveals some highly disturbing things beyond that.]] |
| 388 | -->"So in the house… I had a lot of guys yelling at me and attacking me and it started really affecting me and making my anxiety severe and I was starting to get physically ill. I was throwing up, I had diarrhea, I was nauseous all the time." |
| 389 | * HollywoodCalifornia: Megan is originally from a city in California called Cathedral City. |
| 390 | * {{Irony}}: Her profession is dog walking... she ended up walking from the game. |
| 391 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: Unlike the rest of the house, she ''completely'' withdrew herself from the competition with no possibility of returning, making her the first surefire departure, by default. |
| 392 | * OutdoorsyGal: Megan stated in her pre season interview that she loves the outdoors and admits that one of her favorite pastimes and hobbies is hiking. |
| 393 | * TheParanoiac: Megan admitted in her pre-season interview that she has a tendency to over analyze things or create conspiracy theories for everything that happens because she is a rather paranoid person. Little did we realize that Megan was battling some serious mental and emotional issues due to suffering from PTSD, hence the constant paranoia... |
| 394 | * PetTheDog: Ironic for a dog walker... When she disappeared from the house for several hours, Cody was finally presented with an envelope telling everyone Megan had quit the game. A lot of the houseguests were actually ''hurt'' that she quit on them, especially Paul, and even Alex was dismayed that Megan gave up on everybody. |
| 395 | * PoorCommunicationKills: Because of Megan's misunderstanding with Alex/Jessica over the "Panda"/"Pao Pao" scenario, she ended up leaving the game before the first week was even complete. And it was an honest mistake; Megan thinks she heard somebody, perhaps not even Alex, use the term "Panda", but realizes she may have been hearing things. |
| 396 | * SanitySlippage: Oh dear. Megan certainly lost her mind after she was accused of being racist when she accidentally confessed to Alex that Jessica was calling her Panda. Not only was Megan being confronted by both Alex and Jessica for the racial controversy, but she was also personally attacked by both Cody and Josh. The combination of all four houseguests targeting her unfairly and yelling at her in aggressive manner ended up triggering her PTSD. Megan had a complete emotional meltdown in the DR and ended up quitting the game due to losing her emotional sanity. |
| 397 | * TheScapegoat: If someone did something to upset somebody in the house during the first few days, chances are Megan got blamed for it for shooting her big mouth off. Even after the eviction of Mark at the end of '''Week 9''', ''loooong'' after she walked from the competition, Paul finds reason to blame her for causing the house to lose a ton of its houseguests simply because her photo happened to be on the side of the roster that was mostly greyed out by then. |
| 398 | -->'''Alex:''' This side did not start well. |
| 399 | -->'''Paul:''' I know... The curse of Megan. |
| 400 | * ShellShockedVeteran: Megan suffers from PTSD after being sexually assaulted in the military. Incidents in the Big Brother house triggered Post-Traumatic symptoms. Megan is also one of two houseguests this season, the other being Cody, who have served in the military, and came out of it traumatized. Ironically, neither of them finds common ground through this shared aspect of their careers and end up disliking each other. |
| 401 | * TankTopTomboy: Megan is a classic tomboy who is often seen wearing tank tops. If she's not wearing tank tops, then she's seen wearing sweat shirts or other athletic wear. |
| 402 | * ThrowTheDogABone: A very touching example occurred post-season when both a user on Twitter ([=@Love4DeadSkull=]) ''and'' a user on Website/DeviantART ([=DraconiusAsmertal=]) decided to create [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong an honorary BB Comics cover for Megan]] in spite of the fact she never got one and send it to her. |
| 403 | * {{Tomboy}}: Megan is very tomboyish and is probably the least feminine houseguest. Not to mention that she is OneOfTheBoys and is very interested in male-dominated pastimes and activities. She has also served in the military as well. |
| 404 | * TomboyishPonytail: Most of the time, Megan would wear her hair down, but she was frequently seen wearing a ponytail from time to time. |
| 405 | * TomboyishVoice: Megan has a noticeably heavier and husky voice in comparison to the more feminine and girly houseguests such as Raven and Jessica. |
| 406 | * TookALevelInKindness: Her apology video to the fans for leaving the house shows she has no hard feelings toward the house and sends everybody her love. |
| 407 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Had Megan sat out the remainder of the game, she probably would have been the second boot unless she fought for her safety and Week 1 would have been a done deal. But because she left the game in media res, the eviction block was still active and Jillian suffered the consequences. For all we know, it could have completely changed the course of the season... but then again... that may be a little too optimistic. |
| 408 | * '''UnPerson''': She is outright '''gone''' from the festivities of the game even after leaving (it's quite possible the show is respecting her wishes by downplaying her presence on the show so nobody is given incentive to bother her in her personal life as she recuperates in counseling). She doesn't return for the Battle-Back Showdown or even show up on "Inked & Evicted" because she cut loose on her own volition. "Tales From Decrypt" also excludes Megan from the selection of evicted houseguest choices, because she technically walked off the competition. Sadder yet, when BB Comics Week rolls around, ''she doesn't even get a comic book cover.'' Finally, poor Megan isn't even present for the finale, and Paul even goes as far as to say it was him against '''15''' other contestants, conspicuously omitting her [[note]]although he may be referring to Cameron, who went out before Paul had to work the house[[/note]]. |
| 409 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Due to suffering some serious physical, mental, and emotional issues because of her PTSD, Megan and the producers agreed that it would be best if she walked from the game and received medical help. Even worse, her lack of exposure on the show after walking (as in total removal of all mention of her) and winning nothing makes it seem like she was never in the game at all. Well, except for the weekly stipend contestants get. And the fact somebody actually bothered to make her two ''glorious'' comic covers just because they could and hated the fact she never got one. |

| 433 | |
| 434 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Cameron lacked the stern focus Cody did to look at problem calmly and simply modify his launch power to a slow release to be more controlled. Instead, he started winging balls in the direction of the panels at aggressive speeds and overthought the issue. |
| 435 | * BadassBiker: One of his favorite hobbies is sport bicycling. And he is very good at it. Cameron once biked across the country on an almost 700-mile run over the course of six grueling days!! |
| 436 | * BadassBookworm: Cameron is intelligent and a microbiologist and he seems to like to compete. He certainly didn't shy away from competing for his chance to earn safety in the game. Unlike Christmas and Jillian, who wanted the house to determine their fate by a vote, Cameron was enthusiastic about competing in a athletic competition to ensure his safety. |
| 437 | * BoisterousWeakling: Cameron has some athletic skill and a lot of moxie, but he's got his limits. |
| 438 | -->"Every time I’ve wrestled, I ended up going to the hospital — twice." |
| 439 | * ButtMonkey: This dude caught no breaks whatsoever in the game- everything he did backfired miserably. EVERYTHING- declining $25,000 only to have Kevin take it and bring Paul into the game and force one person out of the house that same night, throwing the first competition and [[LaserGuidedKarma getting a poisoned apple that meant automatic block status]], voting for a competition to stay in the game when the girls wanted a vote knowing the cast would vote off the nerdy guy ([[ShipTease except for the nerdy and gay guy Ramses]]), being outfoxed by Cody in Battle-Back... ''jeez Louise.'' And then his cover on "Inked & Evicted" read "One-Night Club" and he had his face along with the faces of others who went out in the beginning of the game (like Glenn and Jodi) inked on his back. And then "Under the Weather" cites his "storm" (game) as "unimpressive" along with Jillian's. |
| 440 | * TheCastShowoff: Cameron tried to make himself the center of attention by doing a striptease as a vain attempt to keep himself from going out of the house. He's also a self-professed super fan of the show and proud to brag about it. His BB Comics superhero self is even "Super Fan", [[VisualPun who has desk fans for hands.]] |
| 441 | * ChickMagnet / EvenTheGuysWantHim: Cameron noted in a livestream interview that after he got evicted from the house, he started getting a lot of attention from girls ''and'' guys asking if he was available. Of course, Cameron already has a girlfriend and politely turned them down. |
| 442 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Cameron may act dorky, but this guy is a whiz at many variants of of Rubik's Cubes and is #32 in the world's ranking of best ''VideoGame/HaloWars'' players. |
| 443 | * DecoyProtagonist: Was advertised as one of the main sixteen houseguests, but, due to a twist, Cameron was evicted on the first day and is no longer considered to be a part of the main sixteen. His picture isn't even grey-ed out like Megan's; it's simply gone. [[SpotlightStealingSquad That's because Paul ended up taking his place.]] |
| 444 | * GenreSavvy: Cameron remarked in a post-show interview podcast that he wasn't surprised by Paul's return to the house, because every season the show's creators like to have archetypes, and he noticed the houseguest with the beard was missing. |
| 445 | * HistoryRepeats: |
| 446 | ** It should be noted that with Cameron's little display, it's become clear that people who strip down in the house do not last long. Then again, he didn't go full monty like others have in the past, taking off only some of his clothes to give people a show within reason. |
| 447 | ** Once again, the sciency guy of the cast goes out incredibly early and would have been one of the nicest people in the house, and instead we get another season full of MONSTERS. It's Nick Uhas all over again, only for the opposite reasons! Nick went out for doing a bad job of hiding his threat level, while Cameron did too good a job of hiding his threat level. |
| 448 | * IconicOutfit: His red checkered plaid button-up shirt. |
| 449 | * ICouldaBeenAContender: Cameron's game had promise, but it was so riddled with mistakes he didn't get a chance to stay the course. |
| 450 | * MrFanservice: Attempted a striptease in his 11-hour stint in the house, then later modeled his body in the "Inked & Evicted" competition. |
| 451 | * NerdGlasses: One of the first things that is noticeable about Cameron's physical appearance. He shares this quality with Steve Moses (from Big Brother 17) and Ian Terry (from Big Brother 14) which is why so many people had compared him to those two pre-season. |
| 452 | * NiceGuy: Quite possibly the kindest chap in the house and the one who is the least dislikable, on account of the fact he never showed people a mean side, only a competitive one. Ironically, his abbreviated run in the house probably spared him a whole world of being hated on when just about everyone else in the house after he left except [[AllLovingHeroine Jillian]] has been ''unbearable'' at least once- Cameron? Not really. Even one of the guys interviewing him post-show notes he is the only contestant who everyone has nothing bad to say about. |
| 453 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: Cameron, Cameron, Cameron... you really should have not done that. Made himself look ridiculous on purpose to avoid being targeted, only to make himself ''too'' vulnerable to ''not'' target. |
| 454 | * OutGambitted: |
| 455 | ** Tried to throw his first HOH challenge to avoid showcasing his athletic tenacity and how appealing a threat he could be, but his ''lack'' of appeal in the house was what led to his downfall. |
| 456 | ** Resorted to strip-teasing to try and get people to not vote for him, but his geekiness was a turn-off. |
| 457 | * ScienceHero: Cameron is a microbiologist. |
| 458 | * TheSmartGuy: Cameron is smart and intelligent, as he's a microbiologist. |
| 459 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Cameron is TheSmartGuy who wears NerdGlasses. Plus, he's a science nerd and a microbiologist. |
| 460 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Was evicted on the first '''night.''' Cameron spent less that 24 hours in the house- 11 in all, the shortest run of any contestant in ''Big Brother'' to date since Jodi Rollins was kicked out of the house only six hours in during Season 14. He ''almost'' got back in, but then Cody gained the upper hand in their showdown and surpassed him. At least unlike Jodi, Cameron got a chance to briefly show his stuff during the Battle-Back showdown. |
| 461 | * WhatTheHellHero: He gave a tongue-lashing to ''everybody'' in the Jury upward come finale night at the reunion for never once trying to play for themselves and letting Paul run the show, and cited it was the one thing he wished was different about the whole season. It figures the one guy who could have made the series go a totally different direction was uprooted first. |
| 462 | * YankTheDogsChain: He was ''so'' close to winning a shot to make it back into the house, and had a big lead on Cody in the final Battle Back competition, but lost enough momentum to be overtaken. |
| 463 | * YouCanLeaveYourHatOn: Cameron performed a very naughty strip tease in a vain effort to get the ladies (and possibly Ramses if the girls gossiped what Cameron did to him) on his side and avoid being voted out right away. It didn't work, and [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten the houseguests hold him to it even on the finale 92 days later.]] Elena respected him for going as far as he did, but said that his "hairy butt" was not the way to her heart. |
