Jury Votes Received: 5/7 votes (received votes from JESSIE, LYDIA, MICHELLE, AMERICA AND JEFF)

  • Apologises a Lot: Jordan always says that she is sorry.
  • Arch-Enemy: Ronnie, Chima and Natalie. They were all huge enemies in the game for Jordan.
  • Badass Adorable: She is normally a nice, calm girl but she can defend herself and kick ass when she has to.
  • Badass Unintentional: Did anyone expect sweet, cute Jordan to outlast everyone?
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Though easily one of the nicest houseguests of this season, she can still defend herself when need be.
  • Big Good: Along with Jeff, she was one of the good people of the season.
  • Born Lucky: Jordan had a lot of luck in this game. In fact, it could be argued that Jordan won mostly because of luck.
  • Brainless Beauty: Jordan is pretty but she's not an overly brainy person.
  • Breakout Character: Jordan was popular with the viewers along with Jeff.
  • Butt-Monkey: Was consistently nominated throughout the game and was targeted due to being aligned with Jeff.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: She more or less spends almost the entire game as The Load, then is taken to the final three because she'll be easier to beat. However, she proceeds to beat Natalie and Kevin in one-on-one challenges, then chooses to sit next to Natalie at the end, a move which definitely won her the game.
  • Cute Clumsy Girl: Jordan isn't always the most graceful.
  • The Cutie: Jordan is very adorable.
  • Damsel in Distress: For Jeff especially early in the game and before Jeff was evicted.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Jordan is very witty.

  • Dumb Is Good: Jordan is kindhearted but she is not that smart.
  • Everyone Loves Blondes: Jordan is very popular with fans.
  • Faux Action Girl: Jordan is seen as a weaker competitor. Although she did win three competitions, she was carried by Jeff, Michelle, and Russell throughout the game.

  • Honor Before Reason: Jordan played the most noble game of the season.
  • Hot-Blooded: Jordan can get fired up with a passionate temper.
  • Idiot Ball: Yes Jordan, listen to Kevin and go along to backdoor Russell. Backstab your own alliance when you have two obvious targets. Great idea.

  • Sweet Home Alabama: Jordan originally hails from North Carolina.
  • Tag Along Kid: Jordan is the youngest houseguest of the season.

Number Of Times as Have-Not: 1
Finished: 2ND PLACE, RUNNER-UP (LOST 5-2, WON $50,000/50K)
Jury Votes Received: 2/7 votes (received votes from KEVIN and RUSSELL)

  • Action Girl: Downplayed. In the sense that Natalie is very active physically. She wasn't that overly strong of a competitor despite her athleticism. Her competitiveness was vastly overrated.
  • Alpha Bitch: Definitely showed shades of this.
  • Amazonian Beauty: Natalie is noticeable muscular with a ripped and toned body.
  • Ambition Is Evil: Natalie's intentions were never good.
  • Arch-Enemy: At first, Lydia. Later on, Jeff and Jordan.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Well, Girl: Natalie is very full of herself, along with the other athlete clique.
  • Badass Adorable: Sure, Natalie is unlikable, but the fact that she can out compete most of the men is impressive.
  • Badass Boast: Natalie is a huge braggart.
  • Believing Their Own Lies: Natalie would lie and try to spin it to make it true.
  • Big Bad: Natalie was seen as the "villain" of the season.
  • Braids of Action: Natalie sometimes wore her hair in braids.
  • Brutal Honesty: Natalie never hesitates to tell exactly what she feels.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Has no problem with backstabbing and lying to get further in the game.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Towards Jessie. Natalie was very jealous and possessive over Jessie. She shared a rivalry with Lydia over him. After Jessie was evicted, Natalie was bawling over his eviction along with Lydia. The interesting thing about Natalie being all jealous and possessive over Jessie was that she had a boyfriend back home.
  • Consummate Liar: If Natalie is talking, she is lying. She even lied about her age throughout the game.
  • Contralto of Strength: Natalie is a tomboy and she has a noticeably deep and raspy voice. She was also one of the bigger threats in the game.
  • Cute Bruiser: Natalie is small but not to be underestimated.
  • The Dragon: Natalie was doing all of Big Bad Ronnie's dirty work for him earlier in the game. However, once Natalie finds out that Ronnie was playing both sides of the house, she becomes The Starscream.
  • Drunk with Power: Natalie always let power get to her head.
  • Fag Hag: Natalie's biggest ally in the game was Kevin.
  • Faux Action Girl: Was actually not that strong at competitions despite being very athletic.
  • Final Boss: Natalie was the most dangerous player after Ronnie, Chima and Jessie were evicted and she became the actual Big Bad of the season.
  • Foil: To Jordan. Jordan is a sweet, Nice Girl and Natalie is an Alpha Bitch.
  • Friendly Enemy: With Jordan. Jordan ended up taking her to the Final 2.
  • Gamer Chick: Natalie loves playing card games, in particular poker.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Natalie is a strong jealous streak.
  • Hated by All: Natalie was the most hated houseguest of the season. Not only was she widely hated amongst the Big Brother audience and community, but most of the houseguests also disliked Natalie while she was in the house. They disliked her for her constant and unnecessary lying and her mean spirited attitude. Her losing to Jordan, who was the resident Nice Girl of the season, clearly highlighted just how hated Natalie was. Not even her allies Jessie and Lydia wanted to vote for her because of how much they couldn't stand her.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Chima.
  • Hot-Blooded: Natalie is spunky, fiery, and passionate.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Natalie is the Tiny Girl to Jessie's Huge Guy.
  • The Ingenue: Pretended to be this in the house, claiming she was 18 to the other houseguests… which made no sense, because the minimum age to get on the show in the first place is 21.
  • Informed Ability: She claims she is a competitor, being a Tae Kwon Dao champion who is afraid of dragonflies, and put on a pathetic performance at challenges. Even though she helped her clique win the first HOH challenge (and won the final four head of household by herself), it wasn't enough to make up for just about everything else she did.
  • In-Series Nickname: Scrappy Natalie which was coined by Russell.
  • It's All About Me: Natalie is the most self absorbed person.
  • Jack of All Stats: Natalie struck out at HOH and POV challenges, but she managed to do alright in Have-Not food challenges.
  • Jerkass: Natalie is a big time bitch.
  • Jerk Jockette: Natalie is very arrogant.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Natalie is one of the most unlikable players in Big Brother history.
  • Knight Templar: Natalie is completely ruthless.
  • Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Natalie thought that she was smarter than she really was.
  • The Lad-ette: Natalie is definitely one of the boys.
  • Last of Her Kind: The last member of the Athletes clique.
  • Little Miss Badass: Petite and not to be underestimated.
  • Manipulative Bitch: Natalie is manipulative and scheming.
  • Motor Mouth: Natalie doesn't know when to shut up.
  • One of the Boys: Prefers the company of men over women.
  • Passionate Sports Girl: Natalie is a tae kwon do champion.
  • The Pigpen: Natalie is known to have poor hygiene and goes days without washing or showering.
  • Pintsized Powerhouse: The smallest girl in the house but very strong and athletic. She managed to outlast all of the men and the women.
  • Sassy Black Woman: Since Natalie is half African American, it counts.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: Normally, Natalie is dressed in casual or athletic clothing. But when she does dress up in formal clothes, she looks rather feminine and pretty.
  • Shorttank: She's often seen wearing shirts, bras, or tops that exposes her midriffs along with shorts. This combo makes her a Ms. Fanservice.
  • Spicy Latina: It counts since she is half Latina (Argentinian).
  • Tank-Top Tomboy: Natalie is often seen wearing tank tops and she's a tomboy to boot.
  • Tomboy: Natalie is the epitome of a tomboy as she seems to enjoy the company of men and is very athletic.
  • Tomboyish Ponytail: If she's not wearing her hair down or wearing braids, she will be seen wearing her hair in a ponytail.
  • Tomboyish Voice: Natalie has a noticeably lower, deeper and raspy voice plus she's also a tomboy.
  • Tomboy with a Girly Streak: She's a tomboy but she also has a feminine streak as she wears makeup and wears dresses.
  • True Companions: With Jessie, Lydia, Kevin, and Chima.
  • Waif-Fu: Natalie is petite but she can kick ass and is highly athletic.

Jury Vote: VOTED FOR NATALIE

  • Action Hero: Russell is very athletic. He was cast on "The Athletes" team.
  • Alpha Bastard: Definitely the most cocky and arrogant male of the season along with Jessie.
  • Anti-Villain: Type I and Type III. Not really an evil guy, but he can be rather intimidating and ruthless when he wants to be.
  • Arch-Enemy: Chima. He hates her. Ronnie also became an enemy for him as well.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Russell has the personality down to a T. He even fights and boxes.
  • Backstabbing the Alpha Bitch: Turned on both Natalie and Chima.
  • Bald of Evil: Downplayed Trope. While he's not evil, he's a cocky, Hot-Blooded Jerkass who has no issues with bullying others.
  • Bash Brothers: With Jeff and Jessie.
  • Berserk Button: Being backstabbed, lied to or betrayed is a sure way to get Russell angry and fired up. When Russell was betrayed by Jeff after he was back doored by him, he went OFF on Jeff and Jordan.
  • The Berserker: Never hesitates to throw himself into a fight or a battle. Russell is very impulsive and competitive.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: Liked to think that he could intimidate everyone but he really came off as a bully with a huge ego.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Had this towards Jessie.
  • The Big Guy/The Brute: He's not tall but he comes off as very physically intimidating.
  • Birds of a Feather: With Jessie. Both of them are athletes who are cocky and arrogant.
  • Blood Knight: Russell is very competitive and he takes competing very seriously.
  • Brutal Honesty: Russell never hesitates to say exactly what is on his mind, even at the expense of others feelings.
  • The Bully: Russell definitely displays some shades of intimidating and bullying behaviour. Chima even went so far as to call Russell a tyrant and a terrorist, which Russell took as Chima being racist.
  • Competition Freak: Takes every single competition he competes in very seriously and always competes hard.
  • Control Freak: Russell is very controlling, domineering and aggressive.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Russell can definitely be witty and sarcastic when he wants to be.
  • The Determinator: When Ronnie passed up the chance to backdoor Russell, Russell decided to make Ronnie's life a living hell. He constantly followed him around verbally abusing him and taunting him, and when Ronnie locked himself in the Head of Household room, he waited outside. Can't help but at least laugh at that, especially how the show edited it.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Russell turned on Ronnie and nominated him, which resulted in his eviction.
  • The Dragon: For Ronnie, the Big Bad.
    • Co-Dragons: With Natalie, Jessie, and Chima for Ronnie.
    • Dragon-in-Chief: It turned out that physically, Russell was significantly more dangerous than Ronnie was because Ronnie was the one who orchestrated Ronnie's demise.
    • Dragon Their Feet: Ronnie was evicted before Russell and Russell was the one who was responsible for Ronnie's demise.

  • Alpha Bitch/Lovable Alpha Bitch: Definitely has her catty and bitchy moments, particularly with Michelle and Natalie.

  • Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Lydia is tomboyish as she has short hair, tattoos, swears a lot and is rough around the edges. But she's also girly and feminine because she loves makeup, hair and dresses. She's also a makeup artist for a living, a predominantly female oriented career.

Number Of Times as Have-Not: 2
Finished: 8TH PLACE (EXPELLED/QUIT)note 
Jury Vote: AMERICA VOTED FOR JORDAN (Right to vote in the Jury was revoked due to gameplay violations, and her vote went to America)

  • Alpha Bitch: Chima was the biggest diva of the house.
  • Arch-Enemy: Russell. She really hated him and wanted him out of the game.
  • Asshole Victim: Chima was seriously her own worst enemy and the major reason why she was expelled from the game was because of her poor attitude.
  • Attention Whore: Chima always acted like a diva and wanted attention.
  • The Baroness: Of the Rosa Klebb flavour.
  • Berserk Button: Jeff's use of the 'Coup D'Etat' to override her nominations as HOH really set her off the rails.
  • Bitch Alert: Chima is a big time bitch and she lets it known that she is a bitch through her actions and her diva behaviour.
  • Brainy Brunette: Chima was a member of the Brains clique.
  • Brutal Honesty: Chima never hesitates to speak her mind and she is rather dramatic about it.
  • Can't Take Criticism: Chima will get upset when people criticize her. Basically, she can dish it out but she can't take it.
  • Cat Fight: With Michelle early in the season.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Towards both Russell and Jessie.
  • The Cynic: Chima was pessimistic and negative about everything and always sounded defeated.
  • Death Glare: Was Chima's signature facial expression.
  • Digging Yourself Deeper: Chima only made herself become a bigger target in the game with her poor attitude. Chima finally had a huge breakdown and got expelled from the game, which saw her get barred from returning for the finale and expelled her from the Jury House too (her vote became a poll on CBS.Com for American viewers to choose; it went to Jordan, who Chima evidently wasn't rooting for).
  • Disc Three Final Boss: Chima was expelled after she refused to follow the rules of the game.
  • Does Not Like Men: Although she does have a Freudian Excuse (having been the victim of a particularly violent sexual assault that required her to have reconstructive surgery), let's just say there comes a point where it's just being a brat.
  • The Dragon: For Ronnie, the Big Bad. Later on, Chima becomes this for Natalie.
    • Co-Dragons: With Natalie, Russell and Jessie for Ronnie.
    • Demoted to Dragon: Although Chima appeared to be the obvious villain because of her unlikeable personality, she was actually merely working for Ronnie, who was the true Big Bad of the season. Chima was nothing more than a minion for Ronnie.
    • Dragon Ascendant: After Ronnie is evicted, Chima tries to carry out what Ronnie wanted, which was to target the other side of the house (such as Jeff, Jordan, Michelle, Russell and Lydia). She was determined to elimate those who were responsible for Ronnie's demise. After Ronnie leaves, Natalie becomes the Big Bad and Chima becomes The Dragon to her. Although one could also see Natalie and Chima as a Big Bad Duumvirate.
    • Dragon Their Feet: When Ronnie is evicted, she is very vengeful and wants to take out the other side of the house that was responsible for Ronnie being evicted. She made it her mission to target Jeff and Jordan in particular. Unfortunately for her, she failed carrying out Ronnie's mission, because Jeff had been awarded a special power (the Coup D'Etat) by America through popular vote. This caused Chima to go into a Sanity Slippage and completely lose it.
    • The Heavy: Although Ronnie was the Big Bad of the season pulling all of the strings, Chima could be seen as the main villain of the season because she is very unlikeable. Her and Natalie share this role early in the game. Natalie later on becomes the Big Bad and Chima becomes The Dragon for her after Ronnie leaves.
  • Drama Queen: Chima thrived on drama and was constantly in the middle of fights.
  • The Eeyore: Many houseguests complained that Chima constantly brought the house down with her behaviour and her antics.
  • Entitled Bitch: Chima is the biggest diva by far and everything has to go her way or else she will act up.
  • Fag Hag: For Kevin. He was a close ally of hers.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Chima is a very jealous and envious person by nature.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: It doesn't take much to set Chima off.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Natalie. She was her biggest ally in the game.
  • Hoist by Her Own Petard: Her expulsion from the house also led to her being banned from reappearing on the show immediately; CBS/Viacom sent her straight home and left her spot in the jury vacant, which led to her being unable to influence the other jurors to vote for her Co-Dragon and Big Bad Natalie to win Big Brother and her OWN vote going against Natalie when America, through CBS's website, gave it to Jordan, helping her to a 5-2 win (at the very worst, it would have been 4-3 which would still see Natalie finish second.)
  • Hot-Blooded: Chima is very fiery and passionate. See Sassy Black Woman.
  • Hysterical Woman: Chima is extremely melodramatic and beyond crazy.
  • Ice Queen: Chima is the biggest bitch in the house and one of the biggest to have appeared on Big Brother.
  • Iron Lady: Chima is stern, stoic and an Ice Queen.
  • It's All About Me: Chima is very selfish and everything is always about her.
  • Jerkass: Chima is a major bitch and is not that nice of a person.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Chima is very unlikeable.
  • Karma Houdini: Called Russell a terrorist, but received no tongue-lashing from any of the houseguests (aside from Russell himself) about it. Subverted later when her errant behavior due to suspecting Executive Meddling led to said executives removing her from the house after she ignored the BB PA and destroyed a microphone that was CBS property (she claimed she quit), which took place a while before Russell was evicted.
  • Large Ham: Chima's actions and mannerisms are very over the top.
  • Manipulative Bitch: Chima was one of the most cunning and manipulative houseguests in the house alongside Ronnie.
  • Non-Gameplay Elimination: Was expelled from the house after throwing a fit and damaging her microphone after Jeff used the 'Coup D'Etat' privilege given to him, and refusing to pay for it. She was also uninvited from the jury and the finale, with her vote, as decided by America on an online poll, going to Jordan (comments indicated she would have voted for Natalie instead)
  • Noodle Incident: Averted; a few times the houseguests had spoken of her breaking the rules. When she was expelled, the show showed a montage of her covering up the cameras with blankets, threatening violent acts if Russell wasn't evicted, not wearing her microphone, and refusing to come to the diary room when called.
  • The Prima Donna: Played straight. Many houseguests say that she is a diva. She never likes to follow the rules in the game which is what eventually led to her demise and her expulsion. Jordan lampshades this in her DR during the segment when Chima was expelled.
  • Raised by Grandparents: Implied that her grandparents also had a big role in her life when she was growing up. When the show interviewed them about her behavior, her grandparents said they did not raise her to be like that.
  • Sanity Slippage: Chima has a major one after she discovers that Jeff and Jordan are favored by production. She ends up getting expelled after throwing her microphone into the water, and wasn't allowed into the Jury House or Finale Night.
  • Sassy Black Woman: Is not afraid to stand up for herself when she needs to, even against Big Brother themselves, who did not take it well at all.
  • Smug Snake: Chima was very full of herself.
  • Spoiled Brat: Chima was a huge diva and would act up if things didn't go her way, which hit a breaking point with the Coup D'Etat, an event that took down her teammate Jessie and ultimately ended her game in flames as well.
  • The Smart Girl: Chima was part of the Brains clique.
  • Two First Names: Her first name Chima and her last name Simone ca both be used as given names.
  • Ungrateful Bitch: Chima could be the Trope Codifier. Chima never appreciated anything.
  • Un-person: As soon as she got herself kicked out of the game, she was prohibited from ever coming back and her presence in the game was outright deleted.
  • Wild Hair: Her hair is her most noticeable physical feature.
  • Woman Scorned: Partially the reason why she targeted Russell.
  • Villainous Breakdown: One of the biggest of the US run, ever. She got so bent out of shape about Jessie's eviction that she actually forced CBS to pre-tape a normally live episode of the show out of fear that she would bring the FCC down on them with her meltdown if Russell survived another eviction, and said they'd have to put her in a fish tank to corral her. She thumbed her nose at every rule of the house and started having a major tantrum, and finally, when the houseguests were given a backyard practice course of an upcoming golf challenge to practice on, Chima refused to put on her microphone. Natalie went to get it for her... and as soon as she handed of Chima the microphone, she flung it into the hot tub pool. Even though production spared her and told her to get a new microphone, Chima got even angrier and crawled into bed, bitching out production and demanding to talk to an actual person... and for the first time in the show's history, head honcho Allison Groedner's voice was heard directly speaking to Chima, knowing she was too insubordinate to participate any further in the game. Allison directed her to the Diary Room, where a female staff member had opened an emergency exit to the house and directed her to leave. The next morning, houseguests were told by Allison that Chima had been expelled from the house because she had willfully destroyed a piece of equipment vital to the production and for numerous rule violations, upsetting everyone who had tried to keep Chima from going over the edge. And just like that, her memory wall photograph was immediately grayed out.

  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Could easily be the Trope Codifier.
  • Asshole Victim: Jessie was blindsided by Jeff when Jeff used the Coup D'Etat power.

  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: When Jessie nominated and backdoored both Braden and Casey.

  • The Dragon: For Ronnie, the Big Bad in the early part of the season before he was evicted.
    • Co-Dragons: With Russell, Chima and Natalie for Ronnie.
    • Dragon Ascendant: Takes over the role of main villain after Ronnie is evicted. Not for long though, as Jessie is evicted almost immediately after Ronnie.
  • Drunk with Power: Jessie is always drunk with power, whether he has power or not.
  • Dumb Jock: Jessie is athletic but doesn't seem to have much of a brain.
  • Dumb Muscle: Jessie is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
  • Emotional Bruiser: Jessie does seem to have a soft side to him, despite coming off as very arrogant.
  • Entitled Bastard: Jessie was very entitled and acted spoiled when things didn't go his way.

  • The Eeyore: Being around Jessie is often a huge downer and is always depressing as he brings the mood of an atmosphere down.

  • Gender-Blender Name: Jessie's name is unisex.
  • Gentle Giant: Jessie is physically large, but he is not overly intimidating like Russell. He has a soft side to him despite him being very self absorbed.
  • Graceful Loser: Took his very sudden eviction by Jeff using the Coup D’état extremely well and admitted he would have done the same if the roles were reversed.
  • Handsome Lech: Jessie is an attractive guy but his personality is such a huge turnoff that he may be unlikeable to potential suitors.
  • Heroic Build: He's a bodybuilder and a wrestler after all.
  • He's Back!: Jessie was a houseguest on Big Brother 10.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: With Natalie but not in regards to height. Jessie is a short guy but he's huge in regards to his physique and he makes Natalie look tiny in comparison.
  • In-Series Nickname: "MR. PECTACULAR".
  • It's All About Me: Jessie is extremely selfish and self-absorbed, and this attitude is used as a running gag for the next 3 seasons with Pandora's Box.
  • Jerkass: BIG TIME. Jessie can be very arrogant, egotistical and rude.
  • Jerk Jock: Jessie could easily be the Trope Codifier.

  • The Narcissist: Jessie is very self-absorbed and into himself.

  • Running Gag: He's become this on the show; excluding his two seasons as a houseguest, he made additional appearances in the house during Big Brother 12, 13, 14, and 17 mostly to annoy the houseguests who "won" private time with him (though 17 saw him host a Veto comp).
  • Short Dark And Snarky: Jessie is very snarky.

  • Unwanted Harem: Had Lydia, Natalie and Chima in love with him.

Although targeting Russell and Laura was understandable, nominating Jeff during the time Ronnie was HOH was a very bad move because he created a new enemy.

  • Cannot Keep a Secret: Ronnie spills or rats out everything that is told to him.

  • The Fool: Ronnie could have gone far in the game but he played way too hard, too fast.

  • Limited Wardrobe: Did not seem to have a variety of clothes.
  • Lovable Nerd: Subverted. Ronnie appears this way at first but he is actually very unlikeable.
  • The Man Behind the Man: Ronnie was the one who was the puppet master and pulling all of the strings in the beginning of the game. He even had his own army of loyal minions doing all of his dirty work for him (i.e. Russell, Natalie, Jessie, Chima, Lydia).
  • Manipulative Bastard: By far, the biggest manipulator and liar of the season. If he had gotten to the end of the game, he would have crossed over into Magnificent Bastard territory.
  • Manchild: Ronnie is 30 but comes off as very immature. It's probably at its worst when Kevin body-checks him in an argument and Ronnie starts complaining to production that was physical contact (which can warrant expulsion) in a really wimpy and pathetic manner, when Kevin simply walked up to him and was moving him backward with his chest. And then Ronnie later cried about it in private.
  • The Mole: Ronnie played the Populars and gathered information from them to give to his real alliance (the Athletes).
  • Most Gamers Are Male: Ronnie is a huge video game fan and he has an obsession with video games. Hell, he even refers to himself as a video game expert.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Doesn't have any muscle mass yet he was the biggest threat in the game early on.
  • Playing Both Sides: The major reason Ronnie was evicted. As soon as Chima found out that Ronnie seemingly had alliance with her number-one enemy, Russell, Chima rallied all her allies together to combust Ronnie's game, but surprisingly, Kevin turned out to be the person angriest at him for all the lies he had been told by Ronnie personally.
  • Sissy Villain: He's the Big Bad of the season but he came off very cowardly. Whenever he was confronted with his actions, he would tuck his tail between his legs and run away from confrontation.
  • The Smart Guy: Ronnie is a smart and intelligent guy and he's also highly strategic.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: He accidentally messed up - he tried to play two sides of the house, but he was the swing vote the first week. By turning his back on the original alliance, he basically got the entire house coming after him (Sans Jessie)
