!Alliances

[[folder: Alliances]]
!!''Sixth Sense (Vanessa, Austin, Shelli, Clay, Liz and Julia)''
----
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal
* FiveBadBand:
** TheLeader: Shelli
** TheDragon: Clay
** EvilGenius: Vanessa
** TheBrute: Austin
** TheDarkChick: Liz
** SixthRangerTraitor: Julia
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Shelli
** TheLancer: Clay
** TheSmartGuy: Vanessa
** TheBigGuy: Austin
** TheChick: Liz
** TheSixthRanger: Julia
* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Their Own Petard]]: Vanessa backpedaling on the plan to jettison Austin from the alliance and the house exposed the Sixth Sense, and they lost power to the After Dark Crew and began losing members anyway (first Clay, then Shelli). This led to the creation of a new alliance, the Scamper Squad, consisting of the remaining members of the Sixth Sense and Steve.
* MeaningfulName: Although the group on paper originally consisted of five members, the name was chosen after Vanessa, Austin, Shelli and Clay found out Liz and Julia were playing as one person – with Julia, therefore, automatically becoming the sixth member of the alliance once the twins survived the first five evictions (effectively placing her into the game, and adding a vote on their side).
* SixStudentClique:
** The Head: Shelli
** The Muscle: Clay
** The Quirk: Austin
** The Pretty One: Liz
** The Smart One: Vanessa
** The Wild One: Julia

!!''After Dark Crew (Jason, Meg, James, and Jackie; later adding Becky and Johnny Mac)''
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Anybody only watching the main show wouldn't know that this alliance even had a name - for the majority fo their existence they were simply "the other side of the house".
* DecapitatedArmy: Jackie's elimination more or less killed the morale of the alliance. Becky was quickly evicted after and Meg and James were unable to win any crucial competitions afterwards.
* FatalFlaw: In a way, the group [[PoorCommunicationKills acting cliquish from the rest of the houseguests]], especially the alliance-less [=HGs=], ultimately played a big role in their alliance following apart.
* FourManBand:
** OnlySaneMan: James
** TheSmartGuy: Jackie
** The Pervert: Meg
** The ButtMonkey: Jason
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: After Jackie's eviction, Becky pointed out that they still have three powerhouse players – and Meg. Meg notes immediately beforehand that she is not one of the "powerhouses", given her own failure to win competitions.
* PoorCommunicationKills: They renege on their promise to Becky to vote out Vanessa because of their belief that Becky had selfish ulterior motives, and they were more concerned with getting rid of Shelli first. Jackie's shocking elimination was the result of her passing Steve's name as a potential pawn to use in her plan to target Austin. Steve, having not bonded with the group, mistakenly believed she was after him [[TheDogShotFirst so he targeted her.]]

!!''Dark Moon (Vanessa, Clay, Jackie, James, Jason, Meg, Becky and Shelli)''
----
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Vanessa noted this after the group chose it as their alliance name, even stating that it'd made her want to get a "Dark Moon" tattoo.
* EpicFail: Blew up almost as fast as it started, all occurring during Week 5, when Vanessa backpedaled on her plan to backdoor Austin (out of concern over losing a vote on the side of their existing alliance) and put Jason up on the block – not only betraying him but also Jackie, James and Meg in the process and exposing the Sixth Sense alliance, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard starting '''THEIR''' descent out of power.]]
* PoorCommunicationKills: Vanessa refusal to inform Liz of their plan to backdoor Austin[[note]]Austin earned Vanessa ire by plotting to get Julia evicted so that he could have Liz's loyalty exclusively.[[/note]] ultimately caused the alliance to backfire when Liz ended up winning the Battle of Block. Vanessa, not wanting to be the one to backdoor Austin, decided to put Jason up instead.

!!''Austwins (Austin, Liz and Julia)''
----
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: While they became bigger targets once their former Sixth Sense alliance mates Shelli and Clay were evicted and the three emerged as the secondary power players in the game, Steve and especially Vanessa did the hoisting in Week 10, when they decided to target Austin and Liz. Then during the POV comp, Vanessa fed Julia a lie that Austin would target her if she didn't win the Power of Veto and convinced her to go up against Austin in the second round instead of picking John first. Austin knocked Julia out of the competition, and went on to beat John in the final round, causing Julia to become the replacement nominee once Austin chose to take himself off the block instead of sacrificing himself to save the twins by not using the POV.
* [[Main/{{Portmanteau}} Portmanteau Name]]: Austin + Twins (also counts as PunnyName, for one particular fact, just look at what three of the letters in both words are). The three began to be referred to as this (they were collectively referenced as "Austin and the twins" beforehand) at some point around Week 6.
* PowerTrio: One made up of two power dios (Austin and Liz, the showmance; Liz and Julia, the siblings).

!!''Austin's Angels (Austin, Liz, Julia and Vanessa)''
----
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Acknowledged by Vanessa. She feels that in this alliance, she would be lowest in hierarchy if they actually make it to the Final Four.
* [[TwoGirlsAndAGuy Three Girls And A Guy]]

!!''The Scamper Squad (Liz, Vanessa, Julia, Austin and Steve)''
----
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Their two word alliance name starts with the same: '''S'''. The first word is '''S'''camper and the second word is '''S'''quad.
* BackstabBackfire: Austin's decision to alienate and put Steve up on the block ultimately did not pan out. [[TheDogBitesBack Naturally Steve would return the favor the next week and put up Austin and Liz.]]
* BadAssCrew: After Shelli's eviction in week 7, they won '''every single''' HOH competition. All together, including Sixth Sense, they accounted for 14/16 of the HOH weeks.
* FiveBadBand:
** BigBad: Liz - Although Vanessa is TheManBehindTheMan, Liz actually becomes the main villain as of Week 10. Mostly because she seems to be TheLeader of the alliance.
** TheDragon: Vanessa - Again, Vanessa is technically TheManBehindTheMan but she seems to folow Liz's lead in this alliance. From the start of the game, it was reversed with Liz being TheDragon for Vanessa.
** TheEvilGenius: Vanessa (again) - Vanessa is TheDragon, but in this alliance, she is also this because she is TheStrategist and TheSmartGirl that orchestrates all of the plans and moves that need to be made in the game.
** TheBrute: Austin - Austin is TheBigGuy who is mostly brawn but also a little bit of brains. He is very competitive and he uses his height and his muscles to intimidate others.
** DarkChick: Julia - Julia is TheChick of the alliance but she could also be considered TheLoad. She doesn't really contribute anything of substance to the alliance but she is arguably the nicest of the alliance along with Steve.
** TagalongKid: Steve - Steve is the TokenGoodTeammate of the alliance and he is the most likeable person included in the group. He is also the youngest member of the alliance as well as the youngest houseguest of the season. He kind of just follows along with what Vanessa, Liz, Julia and Austin do or want. However, he has shown that he has a much different agenda from his alliance members.
* OneExtraMember: The alliance consists of the four members that remained from the former Sixth Sense alliance plus Steve, one of the few houseguests left who was previously unaligned.
* TeamKiller: The Scamper Squad more or less self-imploded after Steve caused Julia's elimination, and Vanessa followed suit the next week and eliminated Austin.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Steve is the one member of the alliance without the ZeroPercentApprovalRating with the audience.

!!''The Rockstars (Johnny Mac and Steve)''
----
* BashBrothers: Being close friends in the house, the two promise to watch each other's backs and not throw each others names around when it came to elimination talks. When others became suspicious of their alliance, it led to:
* WithFriendsLikeThese: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], John and Steve would pretend to be traitorous to one another towards other houseguests. Vanessa didn't buy it, but Austin ultimately fell for it, which played a role in his own elimination.

->'''Votes Received (From Jury):''' Shelli, Jackie, Becky, John, Meg and James

* TheAce: Has won his fair share of competitions and he is particularly solid at mental competitions. The guy admitted that he has a photographic memory meaning that he is a huge mental threat in the game. He also has a tendency to win when he needs to. Steve is no slouch in competition wins having won a total of 4 Head of Households, 2 Power of Vetoes and 1 Battle of the Block. Steve also made the biggest move of the season by evicting Vanessa at final 3 and going on to win the season with a 6-3 vote.
* ActionHero: Although his appearance is deceiving, Steve is actually very competitive. He's particular strong in mental competitions and he has fared well in endurence/physical competitions and skill competitions. Steve even said that he has a photographic memory hence why he is so solid at mental comps. He may not be as strong in endurence as John and Janes but he showed that he held is ground in Part 1 of the final Head of Household competition against Vanessa and Liz. It goes to show that Steve may not be athletic and have muscles like Austin and Clay do but he has out competed them in comps. Steve is the strongest male competitor next to John and James.
* {{Adorkable}}: Steve is nerdy but he is lovable and has many endearing moments. His eccentricities make him more endearing and the fact that is socially awkward also helps. Steve also has a teddy bear that he sleeps with at night. Steve still plays with erector sets.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Early on, he had a hard time bonding with the other houseguests, with some like Jace and Austin outright bullying him at one point. His main alliances in the house were Vanessa [[note]]Who has not hidden that she was perfectly willing to cut ties with Steve if the circumstances called for it, and admitted after her eviction that she would have evicted HIM in the Final Three.[[/note]] and Johnny Mac. Surprisingly, he's got fans at his hometown. In fact, his mom rallied the ''entire town'' of Gouverneur to support him. So even if he didn't win, he still is far more popular than he was in school and in the house.
* AmbiguousDisorder: By his own admission, Steve considers himself strange because of his habits: he seems to exhibit anti-social qualities; is, in general, very socially awkward; talks to himself; and doesn't seem to understand or process social cues. Steve even tells other houseguests to let him know or give him signals if he is acting strange. Vanessa even tells him that it is possible that he might have Asperger's Syndrome, which Steve even admitted is possible, but has never been diagnosed with.
* AntiHero: Type II (KnightInSourArmor). Steve is a good guy at heart, but he's had no qualms planning and making big moves, including breaking up the Austwins and pulling one final game-winning backdoor on BigBad Vanessa in the final hour of the game.
* AscendedFanboy: He's the season's resident superfan next to John and Jason. A lot of Steves conversations in the house were about facts regarding past Big Brother seasons and house guests. He seemed to be very knowledgable about the game. Freakishly similar to Ian Terry. Steve also ended up winning the season like Ian did as well.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Steve can be rather hyper at times and can't seem to sit still or stop talking to himself. He is also shown himself to be a highly anxious person; this was seen when Steve could not get to sleep for an entire night and ended up vomiting repeatedly because he was anxious about voting out Meg or Julia in Week 10. Steve is also very fidgety when he gets nervous. It is possible that Steve could be suffering from an anxiety disorder or either ADHD, ADD, Aspergers or even OCD but he has never been officially diagnosed.
* BadLiar: Arguably Steve's biggest flaw was that he had no Poker face, especially when it came to [[TheBully Vanessa interrogating him from details.]] She was able to fish out that he had a Final 2 alliance with Johnny Mac (called The Rockstars) and spent a good portion of the latter half of the game trying to separate them.
* BadassAdorable: Steve may be quirky and nerdy and adorable but he is a very dangerous player. He's a competitor and he ended up outplaying everyone in the end considering he ended up winning the season. Steve was the epitome of silent but deadly and he was completely underestimated.
* BadassBookworm: Steve is TheSmartGuy who comes off as a bookworm and is intelligent. He is a musical engineering student. Similar to Ian Terry who was s chemical engineering student.
* BashBrothers: With John and to some extent with Austin. However, his closest ally in the game is obviously Johnny Mac as he said when he was by himself that he intends to protect John as much as possible and wants to take him to the final 2. John and Austin have shades of BigBrotherInstinct and BigBrotherMentor tendencies towards Steve; although John was shown to have a close bond or relationship with Steve than Austin does. John is protective of Steve and probably sees him as a surrogate little brother in many ways such as when he looks out for Steve when it comes to his behaviour and lack of social cues, and when Steve was having problems with his wisdom teeth. Steves alliance with John was called "The Rockstars". Austin was mode of a grudging respect at first but turned into a genuine friendship once Steve [[BreakTheHaughty broke the haughty]].
* BigApplesauce: Steve originally hails from a small village in the North Country region of upstate New York.
* BigDamnHeroes: For finally putting Austin, Liz and Julia on the block. They had been a very powerful trio in the game since the beginning and nobody seemed to have had any drive to split them up except John (but he has never won a Head of Household). It has been a long time coming for the trio to touch the block, feel the heat and finally be broken up and face possible eviction. On finale night, Steve won the final 3 Head of Household and ended up making the biggest move of the season by evicting Vanessa (the most dominant player of the entire season). The fans were absolutely elated when Steve had a hand in Austin, Julia and Liz bring split up and had a hand in evicting Vanessa.
* BreakTheCutie: Vanessa pretty much ''broke'' him when she refused to use the veto even when he begged her. Not only that but it's implied that no one in the house cares about him and even John wanted him gone.
* ButtMonkey: The guy's been betrayed by pretty much everyone, is talked about behind his back, and thought of as a weasel. He did not deserve any of this.
* CannotTalkToWomen: Steve seems to have zero game or experience when it comes to the ladies. He has stated that he has a crush on Julia, but his interactions have only been amicable and friendly, even awkward at best. Steve has implied that he has no experience with women and that he has also implied that he is a virgin. Steve himself has admitted that he is really awkward around women.
* TheChessmaster: Not to the same extent as Vanessa, but it's definitely there. Steve can be a strategic player but he seems to show spades of BrilliantButLazy. He knows he should make big moves that would benefit his game, but he seems to not follow through with making big moves out of fear (of either Vanessa or of becoming a big target). When Steve won Head of Household for the second time, he finally made a big move by nominating Austin and Liz, realizing that the trio of Austin, Liz and Julia finally needs to be split up after so long of being untouchable. But the biggest move that he made all season was when he won final Head of Household and evicted Vanessa at Final 3.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Steve considers himself quite strange – having a tendency to space out and exhibit several quirks such as randomly talking to and dancing by himself, describing that it's as if his "brain and body completely detach" from one another... though he's okay with that.
* CoDragons: Steve was this for Vanessa, the BigBad, throughout the majority of the game, alongside Austin, Julia, Liz, and Shelli. Steve served as TheMole to Vanessa, feeding her information that he gathered from other houseguests. In many ways, Steve being TheMole for Vanessa and working for her mirrors Ian being TheMole for Dan and working for him on ''Big Brother 14''. Steve and Vanessa made a two person alliance in the beginning of the game and even had a Final 2 deal, but neither of them had any intention of upholding their deal.
* CoolLoser: He's a NiceGuy and he's friendly albeit nerdy and socially awkward yet nobody seems to want to stay 100% loyal to him or associate themselves with him. Liz and Julia have even referred to Steve as being a socially awkward nerd or geek. However, Steve ends up getting the last laugh by winning the season, which would definitely classify Steve as being cool.
* CounterpartComparison: [[Invoked]] – As noted, Steve drew a lot of comparisons, both inside of the house and out, to Ian Terry, the winner of ''Big Brother 14''. Steve actually wanted [[BerserkButton to downplay this]] as he didn't want anyone to consider him a threat early on. Considering the amount of wins they both pulled [[LetsGetDangerous in the second half of their respective seasons]], the resemblance between Steve and Ian is uncanny.
* CowardlyLion: Steve seems to be chicken when it comes to making big moves. When it came time for him to choose between voting out Meg or Julia during Week 10, instead of taking a huge risk and voting out Julia to finally split up the TerribleTrio (Austin, Liz and Julia), he decides to vote out Meg instead of Julia. Meg, who was not even a competitive threat or an overall game threat to anyone. Steve was so anxious over the vote that he had serious insomnia and was vomiting his guts out the night of the eviction. He did subvert this though during Week 11 when he finally had the guts to nominate first Austin and Liz and then Julia as the replacement nominee (after Austin had won the Power of Veto). Steve has also been submissive to Vanessa for pretty much the entire game, feeling like he can never go against her or her wishes or she would target him or come after him. Steve repeatedly has said to himself and to the camera while he is alone that he is onto Vanessa and does not result her. He also admits that he would gladly cut her if he wins the Final Head of Household. In the season finale, Steve does end up winning the Final Head of Household and he chose to cut Vanessa at the Final 3 like he had intended and promised to himself.
* CrazyJealousGuy[=/=]GreenEyedMonster: Steve has a strong jealous streak to his personality, especially when it came to John. It was obvious that Steve was always jealous of Becky and always had ill feelings towards her because of her close relationship with John. Steve saw John as his closest ally in the game and it is under the assumption that Steve wanted Becky out of the house because he wanted John to himself. Steve's animosity towards Becky came off as highly irrational considering that Becky had nothing but positive things to say about Steve, but it was apparent that his strong dislike stemmed from his deep jealousy and envy over Becky's relationship and alliance with John.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Looks eccentric and odd but he is a huge threat and is quite dangerous in the game. It seems that the other houseguests underestimate him because of his nerdy, socially awkward persona. This is a guy who went from being super anxious about voting out either Meg or Julia during Week 10 to a guy who won Head of Household the same night and finally had the guts to nominate Austin and Liz in attempts to break up the TerribleTrio. Not to mention that Steve single handedly cast the vote to evict Vanessa at final 3.
* CurbstompBattle: Steve ends up winning the Final 2 vote against Liz, 6-3. He also evicted Vanessa at final 3 after winning the final Head of Household. It was considered to be the biggest move of the season.
* CuteBookworm: He's nerdy and smart. He is an engineering student after all so it could be assumed that he reads a lot of books. He's also considered to be a BadassBookworm since he is competitive as well as book smart and intelligent.
* CuteBruiser: Steve is nerdy adorable and loveable and he can also kick ass in competitions. Despite his appearance Steve is the living embodiment of never judging a book by its cover. Physically, Steve is not muscular and athletic at all but he has out competed pretty much all of the male and female house guests this season. During Part 1 of the final 3 Head of Household Steve lasted almost 4 hours during the endurance competition. He definitely qualifies as a BadassAdorable.
* TheCutie: {{Adorkable}}, a NiceGuy and very endearing albeit very quirky and an introvert. This is a guy who at the age of 22 still cuddled and sleeps with a large teddy bear. It's a toss up between him and John about who is more endearing and loveable especially when you compare them to the rest of the other house guests who are rather unlikeable and destestable. He's also the underdog especially after John was evicted. It is understandable why the majority of the audience was rooting for in to win the season over Vanessa and Liz as he was much easier to root for and was basically the underdog.
* DarkhorseVictory: Most people had predicted that Vanessa had this game in the bag because she was the most dominant player all season. But Steve won the final Head of Household and made the biggest move and backdoor of the season by evicting Vanessa in the final hour. He then went on to win the season by a 6-3 jury vote.
* DeadpanSnarker: Steve is rather snarky and sarcastic. Sometimes he will throw shade at his fellow houseguests and they will not even realize that he is throwing shade. Steve is often very deadpan and serious when he makes humorous or witty comments.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Beat Vanessa, who had the most HOH wins and was seemingly good at every competition by one point in the final HOH.
* TheDeterminator: Not one to give up or quit despite al of the troubles and adversity he had faced throughout the game. Competitvely, he has won his fair share of competitions and he has out-strategized the vast majority of he houseguests, including the most dangerous player Vanessa.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He defeated Vanessa on the '''final''' question of the '''final''' stage in the '''final''' Head Of Household, and backdoored and evicted Vanessa in the '''final''' eviction, much to Liz's surprise.
* DitzyGenius: Obviously a very book smart and intelligent guy and also a super fan of the game, but Steve can also be rather clueless about the dynamics in the house and his read on the game and other houseguests. He can also be a bit cowardly in terms of wanting to make big moves such as going against Vanessa or voting out a powerful trio (Austin, Liz, Julia). He is pretty good when it comes to competing and aligning with people, despite being socially awkward.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Steve had a major crush on Julia but Julia did not see Steve in that way at all. Julia even made a comment how a guy like Steve would have no chance with a girl like her in the real world. Interestingly enough, Steve's situation with Julia mirrors Ian's situation with Ashley during ''Big Brother 14''.
* TheDragon: For Vanessa for the majority of the game. Steve had been aligned with the BigBad Vanessa since the start of the game. He even made a Final 2 deal with her. However Steve retaliated that he would eventually have to backstab Vanessa because she was too big of a threat and could not be trusted. Steve then turned into a DragonWithAnAgenda.
* DragonAscendant: SubvertedTrope. Steve does not take over the villain role at the end of the game. Instead, he is seen as an AntiHero or one of the "good guys" in comparison to Vanessa and Liz, who have been long time villains for the majority of the game. Steve evicts Vanessa at Final 3 and chooses to take Liz to the Final 2 instead. After Vanessa is evicted by Steve, it is Liz who becomes this trope as she wants to beat Steve in the Final 2 and sort of avenge the evictions of Vanessa and the rest of her alliance (Austin and Julia). Unfortunately for Liz, she fails as Steve beats her in the Final 2 by a 6-3 jury vote.
* DragonInChief: Even though Steve was never an actual villain, he was the biggest threat in the house. Vanessa may have been the BigBad but Steve was a more dangerous player than Vanessa because he was more quiet and subtle about his gameplay and his intentions. The majority of the game, it seemed as though Vanessa was the one pulling Steve's strings, but Steve had been plotting the demise of Vanessa for weeks. He finally went through with it when Steve won the final Head of Household and evicted Vanessa at Final 3.
* DragonTheirFeet: All throughout the game, Steve had been aligned with Vanessa, but when it came down to the Final 3, Steve chose to evict Vanessa and take Liz to the Final 2. Steve had no regrets in evicting Vanessa because he believed that she was the strongest player of the season and that she was also one of the strongest female players in the history of the game. Not to mention that Steve knew that if he took Vanessa to the Final 2, she would beat him.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Although Steve was aligned with Vanessa, Steve had made it very clear that he had every intention of turning on Vanessa and cutting her when the time was right.Also, many of Steve's plans did not coincide with Vanessa's plans and as a a result, Steve (and Vanessa) began to lose trust in Vanessa. For example, Steve clearly wanted John too stay in the house as he was Steve's closest ally. On the other hand, Vanessa wanted to get rid of John because she saw him as a threat to her game. However, Steve won the battle against Vanessa when he evicted her at the Final 3.
* ExtremeDoormat: Came off as this for Vanessa throughout the majority of the game. It its understandable why Steve would always bend to Vanessa's will as much as possible and do what she wanted him to do because he probably had a fear of Vanessa bullying him, interrogating him aggressively or even worse, targeting him or wanting to get him out of the house. This is later averted, as Steve begins to grow distrust in Vanessa and even plots her demise towards the end of the game. In the end, Steve manages to stop being Vanessa's doormat, and finally gets the guts to evict Vanessa himself at the Final 3.
* FunctionalGenreSavvy: He's an engineering student, and a huge fan of ''Big Brother'' so naturally, when James suggests he go up as a pawn he vehemently refuses because "pawns go home"[[note]]After being put up as a pawn by James anyway, Steven avoids possibly being the first evictee by winning the first Power of Veto competition, choosing to take himself off the block[[/note]]. He reiterates this point in a DR seen in Episode 26 (Week 9), after Vanessa asks him to consider being a pawn as part of her plan to get out Johnny Mac.
* {{Geek}}/{{Nerd}}: Steve is the token geek/nerd of Season 17, being very socially awkward and exhibiting quite a number of personality quirks. In his hometown vignette in Week 8, his father Ron explains that part of the reason for Steve spent most of his time studying growing up, rather than socializing.
* TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin: Steve beat both Vanessa and Liz (both villains) in the finals. He evicted Vanessa (the BigBad) at final 3 after winning the final Head of Household of the season. And he beat Liz (TheDragon to Vanessa) in final 2 after winning the season with a 6-3 vote.
* GoodIsNotNice[=/=]GoodIsNotSoft: Steve is a NiceGuy for the most part but don't get on his bad side or make an enemy out of him. Although Steve has played a clean game for the most part, Steve made it clear that he was going great to backstab people to win. This was apparent when he evicted Vanessa at final 3 even though he had been closely aligned with her for the majority of the game.
* HiddenBadass: Did anyone really expect nerdy and socially awkward Steve to outplay, outlast and outsmart everyone in the end? Did anyone expect Steve to be the one to make the biggest move of the season which was evicting Vanessa? Did anyone expect Steve to win the season?
* IdenticalStranger: To [[Characters/BigBrother14 Ian Terry]]. Clay initially believed that Steve was part of the Twin Twist because of their similarity. Steve himself has acknowledged their similarities. Also to [=McCrae=].
* LastOfHisKind: He became the last male houseguest in the house and the only male to make it to the finals, following Austin and John's back-to-back evictions in Week 12.
* LetsGetDangerous: Despite many people counting him out, and almost getting eliminated in the first week, Steve ended up tying Vanessa for most HOH wins in the season by upping his game and making big moves in the second half of the season, as well as foiling Vanessa's assumed victory and taking it himself instead.
* {{Megane}}: Steve regularly wears glasses.
* MommasBoy: Is very close with his parents but especially his mom. Aww... As he mentions in Week 11, his closeness with his mom is a regular mother-son relationship and nothing Freudian.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Following Jackie's eviction in Week 7, Steve really questions why didn't nominate Becky while he was Head Of Household.
* NerdGlasses: He's similar to Ian Terry in that regard.
* NiceGuy: Just listen to his goodbye message to Audrey when she was evicted in Week 4; that, and the conversations he had with her show he really did care about her and felt bad that she was evicted like James. He's very likable too.
* NobleTopEnforcer: Steve is MUCH nicer than Vanessa and way nicer than Vanessa's other minions, including Austin, Liz and Julia. It was very confusing for many fans as to why Steve was even aligned with someone as unlikeable as Vanessa, as Vanessa did not treat Steve very nicely for the most part. Many fans even argued that Vanessa did not deserve Steve's loyalty whatsoever, which is why the majority of fans were elated when Steve decided to cut her at Final 3.
* NoSocialSkills: He has problems talking to people, and comes off as rude at first, but he's got a good heart.
* OddFriendship: With James. Also with John.
* OnlyFriend: Johnny Mac is Steven's only friend in the house. Poor guy... Vanessa was on his side for Week 11, but as of Week 12 is happy with either him or John going. Shelli seemed to be his friend too as she was rooting for him when she was in Jury, but this isn't brought up much.
* OutOfFocus: Subverted. For some feed viewers, they were even confused at why he somehow disliked Becky for some unexplained reason (though others have stated that Becky has been mean to Steve several times). However as his standing in the game rises, particularly during his reigns as [=HOH=] in towards the final weeks of the season, his presence in the television episodes and live feeds expands.
* PlayingBothSides: Less pronounced than Vanessa, but Steve (who mentioned he did this in his DR in Episode 24) has managed to go under the radar of being anyone's main target, essentially allying with both the Sixth Sense and the After Dark Crew. Even after being the one to cause Jackie's elimination, he successfully convinced everyone that [[WoundedGazelleGambit Vanessa (who actually did infer to him that Jackie was targeting him two weeks earlier) pressured him into it.]]
* ProperlyParanoid: Subverted. While no one by any means should be too complacent about not being targeted in ''Big Brother'', Steve has worried quite a bit about being considered a threat in the game, despite winning very few competitions. In particular, he's worried about Becky targeting him in the game when she was [=HoH=] in Week 7 (Vanessa was actually her intended target) and caused Jackie's eviction that same week's second eviction because he took a rumor that she wanted to target him seriously (when in fact, she wanted to get out Austin).
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Outside of the game, Steve is very intelligent, was the valedictorian of his school, and studied rather than socialized but game-wise, he's more of a floater who will occasionally make a big move here and there. While he certainly isn't stupid, he's definitely one of the weaker strategists this season. Heavily subverted when he gets Vanessa out and defeats Liz by three votes. His final speech also implies he was using Vanessa as a shield and allied with her on purpose.
* TheStarscream: His alliance with Vanessa has seen him frequently lie directly to her face, something that she is very aware of. This almost resulted him being evicted before the second Double Eviction, but Vanessa also needed him to remain in the house knowing that eventually the Austwins would turn on her. He has mentioned several times that he would turn on Vanessa and Austwins as soon as he could and finally succeeded near the end. Steve had planned on turning on Vanessa for quite some time and he did not have 100% trust in her nor did he have 100% loyalty to her. Even though Steve had made an alliance with Vanessa very early on in the game and they had made a pact, Steve started to realize how untrustworthy Vanessa was and that is when Steve had started plotting Vanessa's demise. Steve finally made the move against Vanessa by evicting her at the Final 3.
* TagalongKid: Is this to most of his alliances, being the youngest houseguest this season.
* TheDogBitesBack: He was able to evict almost everyone who ostracized him culminating in Austin's eviction (though that was Vanessa's doing), manages to pull a clutch HOH win in the Final 3 and eliminates Vanessa, and finally wins the entire competition.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: His final two speech contained quite a number of insults directed at Liz and the lack of gameplay she made.
* [[TokenGoodTeammate Token Good Houseguest]]: With Johnny Mac evicted recently, he's the favourite to win, even if some people think he's a weasel. Guess what [[LateArrivalSpoiler happens]] in the finale...?
* TooDumbToLive: Steve felt this way about getting the first question wrong in the Week 4 HOH competition. He planned to throw the comp, but get past question #1, leading him to worry the other houseguests might think him getting that question wrong was intentional.
* UnknownRival: Towards Becky. Steve had an unknown antagonism towards Becky that confused both viewers and feed watchers alike, since the animosity didn't seem mutual. Steve later reviewed in a post-game interview that Becky blew him off several times early in the game when he attempted to talk strategy with her. He took this as a sign that he couldn't rely on her as an ally.
* VillainousFriendship: Even though Vanessa was the BigBad and Steve was TheDragon for her, the two did have a strong bond and friendship on a personal level. The two originally clicked and bonded at the very start of the game and even started a Final 2 alliance. They had numerous personal talks and discussions that were non game related. Vanessa would often have BigSisterInstinct towards Steve and would often treat him as a younger brother and Steve would look up to Vanessa as an older sister. Even though their loyalty to each other in the game eventually deteriorated, it was clear that Vanessa and Steve liked each other on a personal level. When Steve evicted Vanessa at Final 3, Steve showed extreme admiration for Vanessa and her game, stating that he believes that Vanessa is one of the best and strongest female players in the history of ''Big Brother''.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: Although Steve even admits his short reign as [=HOH=] in Week 7 was a bigger responsibility than he was ready for, he breaks into tears in front of Liz and Julia, who along with Vanessa console him, as he tells them his "fear" that he may be targeted after causing Jackie's eviction. Once the girls leave the room, he admits the tears were "about 50% acting", though given who was doing the consoling... kinda hard to be mad at him for pulling the gambit.
* {{Yandere}}: A non romantic example with John. Steve was jealous of John's relationship with Becky, along with her bullying him early on and he voted her out so he could have John's friendship to himself.

->'''Finished:''' Placed 2nd (RUNNER-UP)(LOST 6-3; WON $50,000)
->'''Votes Received (From Jury):''' Austin, Liz, and Vanessa

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Liz, along with Austin, Vanessa and Julia, is one of the least liked houseguests of the season. She is very unpopular and is ranked at the bottom of all the polls. Much of her unpopularity has to do with her mean girl attitude and her romance with Austin, who is also unpopular (and the fact that she is a [[YourCheatingHeart hypotenuse]]). On the inside of the house, however, it seemed to be the opposite as nearly everyone liked Liz and nobody even thought about getting rid of her. It was unfortunate that the houseguests couldn't see how much of a mean person Liz was in the house because she did such a good job of hiding it with her AffablyEvil or FauxAffablyEvil persona.
* AbsoluteCleavage: Her finale outfit. Liz was definitely busting out of it which most definitely solidified her as a MsFanservice.
* TheAce: She's reasonably good at competing and has held her own in terms of winning competitions. Her social game was also solid throughout the game as she was never that much of a target. She was part of a powerful alliance plus a powerful and strong trio and she was pretty much protected the entire game. She managed to make it all the way to the final 2 and even though she did not beat Steve in the end, she managed to receive 3 out of the 9 votes on the Jury. Liz obviously did something right to be able to outplay everyone else with the exception of Steve who won.
* ActionFashionista: Seems to be a GirlyGirl that is into dresses fashion and makeup. Plus, she is highly capable in competitions, at least much more competitive than Julia.
* ActionGirl: Between her and Julia, Liz is the more competitive twin. She has won three HOH's, a POV and a BOTB. Austin even tried to compare her to Janelle competitively. on finale night, Liz even made the argument in her Jury questions and her final 2 speech that her strongest game move was winning competitions.
* ActionGirlfriend: Liz is much more competitive than Austin. Austin and Liz are both part of a big alliance that has been in power since the beginning (Sixth Sense) but Liz seems more passionate about competitions and winning than Austin does. On the other hand, Austin relies more on strategy.
* ActionSurvivor: Started out as this, but eventually became more competitive later on. She became more of an ActionGirl.
* AffablyEvil: Appears sweet and nice to everyone's face, but is one of the meanest in the house and talks the most trash about other houseguests behind their backs. Liz is definitely a BitchInSheepsClothing. She seems like she would be a sweet blonde girl that would be very approachable and friendly but she has no problem with resorting to talking badly about other people with no remorse. Some of her comments have been very petty and mean and have had nothing at all to do with the game. For example, she seems like she is nice to Austin to his face, but she has personally attacked him and bad mouthed him behind his back. She also says that she likes Austin to his face but will say that he disgusts her behind his back. Liz is very good at appearing nice and cordial to others and she had a very strong social game to the point where nobody really actively targeted her or her sister Julia. However, if people found out about the catty side of Liz, she would have been targeted or nominated numerous times in the game.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Liz seems to have a thing for bad boys who athletic or edgy in personality. She admits that her Big Brother crushes include the likes of Jeremy [=McGuire=] (''Big Brother 15''), Jessie Godderz (''Big Brother 10, Big Brother 11''), Caleb Reynolds (''Big Brother 16''), Cody Calafiore (''Big Brother 16''), and Dan Gheesling (''Big Brother 10 and Big Brother 14''). She's also showmancing a semi bad boy in Austin who is a cheater that has cheated on his girlfriend back home with Liz. Looking at Liz's type, one seriously has to question her taste in men. Liz even openly admitted that she likes bad boys and guys who have big muscles and are very athletic.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Inverted. Liz was originally not romantically attracted to Austin. Austin on the other hand was strongly and [[{{Yandere}} deeply obsessed]] (on Caleb levels) with Liz. He was vey adamant about starting a relationship with her, despite having a girlfriend back home. This changed later on when Liz admitted that she actually liked Austin. She eventually became Austins girlfriend and made their relationship official on the show.
* AllWomenLoveShoes: Liz definitely has a strong love or penchant for fancy high heeled shoes. There's never a time during eviction night that she isn't seen wearing her high heels. Maybe it's because she's a major GirlyGirl who's also TheFashionista that just loves to dress up in fancy clothing.
* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Physically, Julia and Liz are near physically identical in their appearance. They are both blonde haired and blue eyed. Sometimes it is hard to tell the two of them apart. There are some difference between the two as noted by both the fans and the other houseguests. Da'Vonne has commented that Liz is the fuller figured or thicker set twin (even giving her the nickname "Thickems") and that Julia is the more lanky and slender figured twin. Also, Julia has a crown on her number 9 tooth according to Johnny Mac. Julia later on stated that she cracked her tooth when she was younger during a childhood accident and she had to have a crown placed in. Other than their looks, their voices are exactly the same with both of them being CuteButCacophonic (they both have very low and husky voices which makes them sound as though they both smoke ten packs of cigarettes a day). Even though Liz and Julia look alike, they have very different personalities as well. Julia is the older twin between herself and Liz which contributes to their different temperaments. Julia is more calm, logical and practical while Liz is more hot headed, impulsive and emotional. Throughout the game (during the beginning), Liz switched places with her twin sister Julia during the first five weeks. Afterwards, they played as individual players, although they were still strongly aligned with each other and had UndyingLoyalty to each other because they are related.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: How her sister Julia has always felt about Liz. Liz even admitted that between her and Julia, Julia has always gotten "the short end of the stick".
* AlphaBitch: Liz is definitely the one true mean girl of the season. Catty? Bitchy? Competitive? Mean spirited? Gossipy? Spoiled? Entitled? Check mark on all of 'em. Out of all the female houseguests, she definitely talks the most trash about all of the other houseguests behind their backs. No houseguest has ever not be bad mouthed by Liz at some point. She also seems to think she is the queen of the entire house and that she is invincible in the game. She's displayed classic mean girl behavior in how she labels people on the house, such as calling James a "sexist bully", calling Meg "a crybaby bitch", openly saying that she hates Jackie (probably out of pettiness, competitiveness, and jealousy), and referring to John and Steve as the "geeks" and the "socially awkward nerds". She has even resorted to trash talking Austin, her own showmance partner calling him selfish and calling him an "ugly person on the inside and out". Julia could be seen as her BetaBitch since she is only slightly nicer than her sister and engages in the trash talk often. Falls into both the Type 1 and Type 2 category: shows that she is a not so smart DumbBlonde that can be openly catty, vile and mean spirited with her constant trash talking, but that she can also be highly manipulative and clever, by being a BitchInSheepsClothing and putting on a sweet friendly facade.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Julia. Liz is the younger twin between herself and Julia. Julia is smarter and more mature than Liz while Liz can be childish, dramatic and entitled on the contrary. It's clear that when you compare the twins, it's obvious which one is older and wiser. Julia is protective of Liz and has strong BigSisterInstinct towards Liz especially when it comes to Lizs relationship with Austin.
* ArchEnemy:
** James. Liz has frequently said how much she dislikes James because she proclaims that he is a bully and has said mean and nasty things about her and her sister. She’s also called James a bully, even though James has never resorted to threatening or intimidating behaviour towards her. Liz’s hatred of James comes off as completely unwarranted and unnecessary and it is more of an IrrationalHatred. Liz is even directly responsible for James’ eviction, being the Head of Household that got him out during Double Eviction.
** John. She has talked badly about John for almost the entire game. Her dislike towards John is very odd, considering that John has barely talked to or interacted with Liz in the game. Liz has gone out of her way to call John very awkward and labelling him as a nerd.
** Jackie. Liz’s dislike of Jackie is assumed to be nothing more than petty jealousy and cattiness. It’s possible that Liz had disdain for Jackie because Austin originally liked Jackie before he liked Liz. Which really does not make sense, because Liz did not even like Austin in that way in the beginning. Or it could be because Liz is jealous of Jackie’s attractiveness and sex appeal.
* AttentionWhore: Does not seem to care that she is having an inappropriate and sexual relationship with Austin on national television and is okay with doing it simply for attention or so she can get some screen time. Especially with someone who is cheating on his girlfriend at home with her. Liz seems to thrive on receiving attention and when she doesn't, she will resort to throwing a temper tantrum, pouting or talking trash about people. Liz even said that she doesn't really care about the game or winning, that she wanted fame and getting TV time from the experience.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Her relationship with Austin started off one sided and unrequited. Liz confessed that she did not like him romantically and she only saw him as an ally in the game and as a best friends. On the other hand, Austin was strongly infatuated with Liz but Liz did not feel the same way about him in a romantic sense. Eventually, Liz finds herself falling for Austin and even admits in the DR that she likes him. Even though Liz eventually reciprocates Austin's feelings, many fans are left saying WhatDoesSheSeeInHim? Mostly because Liz is a physically attractive young woman and Austin, despite his muscular physique, is not that physically attractive. Liz does admit that although Austin is not her type physically, she does enjoy his personality and his company. Julia is, of course, not very impressed or amused, as she strongly dislikes Austin and does not trust him because he has thrown her under the bus in attempts to have Liz all to himself. Although Austin and Liz did find each other attractive for whatever reason, their relationship was downright cringeworthy and it made little to no sense.
* TheBadGuyWins: SubvertedTrope. Liz ended up losing to Steve in the Final 2 by a 6-3 vote. Although Liz played a reasonably solid game on her own merit, her argument to the jury as to why she would win the game over Steve was much weaker and less convincing than Steve's argument on why he should win. It doesn't help that Liz had basically missed quite a bit of time in the house and the game because she was switching in and out of the house with Julia for the first five weeks of the game. To add, Liz was not well liked or well perceived by the majority of the jury as well. Shelli voted for Steve over Liz because she liked Steve more than Liz on a personal level. Jackie voted for Steve over Liz because Liz has always trash talked Jackie behind her back and had a jealousy and rivalry with her since early in the game. Becky voted for Steve over Liz because Liz was the one who nominated her and was responsible for her eviction, plus, Becky always liked Steve and thought he played a very good game (even though Steve had an IrrationalHatred and one sided rivalry with Becky). Meg voted for Steve over Liz because she never had any kind of relationship with Liz while in the house and Liz was on the enemy side or opposing side of her alliance. James voted for Steve over Liz for two major reasons: he had a bond and a good relationship with Steve since the beginning and Liz was the one responsible for evicting him during Double Eviction. Anf finally, John voted for Steve over Liz because John had a very strong relationship with Steve since the beginning and they also had an alliance together called "The Rockstars". The only people that voted for Liz in the jury are Julia (because that is her sister and she wants her to win), Austin (because that is his girlfriend) and Vanessa (because she was a combination of bitter due to Steve evicting her at Final 3, Liz was Vanessa's ally since the beginning and she wanted a woman to win the game).
* BadassBoast: Liz seems to have a habit of making many threats, such as the fact that if she is ever betrayed in any way (by either being nominated or evicted), she will then threaten people’s jury votes (saying that she and two other people in Austin and Julia, will not vote for someone if they betray her). Liz has also said that she would not vote for Steve if he made it to Final 2 and she was on the jury because he had nominated her and Austin and had betrayed and blindsided them. Liz seems to believe that she has that much pull or control over other people's votes, even though she has been nothing more than a Vanessa minion all season. Her threatening others in the house did not seem to work in her favour when she made it to the end, because she ended up losing by a 6-3 jury vote against Steve.
* BaitTheDog: Appears to be a sweet blonde girl, but is actually really bitchy, catty and a definite mean girl to boot. It was originally thought that Liz would be a popular and well liked female player like Janelle Pierzina (from ''Big Brother 6'') or Britney Haynes (from ''Big Brother 12''), but it turns out that she is an AlphaBitch (with Vanessa being the ultimate AlphaBitch) and she is the biggest trash talker by far. Would anyone seriously think that a pretty, attractive and sweet looking blonde girl like Liz would be the meanest girl in the house? Appearances can sure be deceiving.
* TheBaroness: Of the “Sexpot” kind. Uses her sexuality to get farther in the game. She also doesn’t seem to care that she is having a relationship with someone who has a girlfriend back home. Liz has even stated that she has no qualms about using flirtation or her sexuality as strategy. She also fits this trope because she has a very dominant and aggressive personality and she uses it to get what she wants. She can also be very bossy and controlling, especially whenever she wants things to go how she wants them to. She could also be considered a FemmeFatale and TheVamp as well. Although Austin is physically dominant over Liz, Liz has so much control over Austin emotionally and sexually. Liz has used her sexuality to get Austin to do what she wants and Austin has managed to always oblige to her wishes because he gets Liz's undivided attention. Liz is also a bit of an IceQueen and is somewhat stuck up, however, she does let her guard down around a select group of people such as Vanessa, Austin, Julia and at times, Steve.
* BattleCouple: With Austin. They have been the main showmance of the season and were involved with the main alliance of the season (Sixth Sense), meaning that they have been in power for the majority of the season.
* BeautyIsBad: She’s a pretty girl but she has such an ugly or unattractive personality.
* BerserkButton: Messing with her sister is a sure way of getting Liz very angry and fired up. Also insulting her or attacking her personally sets her off.
* BetaBitch: Although Julia normally serves as Liz's BetaBitch to Liz's AlphaBitch (since they are very mean spirited and love to engage in the majority of the trash talking of other houseguests), Liz could be seen as the overall BetaBitch to Vanessa's AlphaBitch. Vanessa is actually the one who is the most dangerous player in the game and Liz pretty much does what Vanessa expects of her. Vanessa is the obvious leader of the "Sixth Sense" alliance and she controls everything that goes on. Liz sees Vanessa as her master and she often follows what she does. Liz is there along with Vanessa to plan out game moves or game plans. In many ways, Vanessa and Liz's relationship was similar to one of a master (Vanessa) and servant (Liz).
* BettyAndVeronica: The Archie to Austin’s Betty and Jeff’s Veronica. Both Austin and Jeff showed romantic interest in Liz. Austin was beyond obsessed with Liz, but Liz did not feel the same way about Austin. She seemed to show much more interest in Jeff and was seen flirting with him. Austin got seemingly jealous of Liz and Jeff’s flirtations, that Austin ended up wanting Jeff out of the house. In the end, Jeff is evicted in Week 3 and Liz eventually comes to admit her feelings for Austin and settles into a showmance with him.
* BigBad: Had become this, along with Austin and Julia on Week 10 onwards and seemed to have taken over this role from Vanessa. She is basically TheManBehindTheMan, who is pulling all of the strings behind the scenes, including Liz, Austin and Julia’s strings.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With her twin sister, Julia as of Week 10 onwards.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Julia of course. They are twin sisters after all. Both are the DumbBlonde, both are TheDitz, and both are trashtalking mean girls. Not to mention that they have a very StrongFamilyResemblance considering that they are identical twins. The only differences between Liz and Julia is that Liz is more HotBlooded and Julia is more of the OnlySaneWoman and Liz is an ActionGirl and Julia is TheLoad in terms of competitions.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: In a conversation between the twins in Episode 19 (Week 6), Julia notes that Liz is the bitchier of the two.
* BlondeRepublicanSexKitten: Openly admitted that she is Republican and has rather Conservative beliefs and views.
* BrainlessBeauty: She’s physically attractive but she has proven and shown to be a rather stupid individual. She may have gone to university but in terms of common sense, she is TheDitz and a DumbBlonde in many ways.
* BrutalHonesty: Says exactly what she thinks and feels without any hesitation. She talks the most trash about every single houseguest in the house behind their backs. Liz is a 100% mean girl and AlphaBitch who is cuttingly sarcastic. She even treats Austin like crap and says mean things about him.
* TheBully: The way she treats and talks about John and Steve behind their backs comes off as incredibly hateful and mean spirited. Her reasons for trashing them are completely unnecessary since both John and Steve have never done anything to her personally. Part of being the resident AlphaBitch of the house, although Vanessa probably takes the title over anyone else.
* CantTakeCriticism: She throws a temper tantrum or a bitch fit if she is remotely called out for her behaviour or if she is criticized personally or in the game. She comes off as a very entitled and spoiled brat.
* TheChick: Of the “Sixth Sense” alliance. She later on becomes TheDarkChick as she TookALevelInJerkass.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Liz is a very jealous and catty girl. She has shown spades of jealous and clingy behaviour towards Austin. If Austin does not pay her attention, she will get bitchy and angry.
* CoDragons: With Austin, Julia, Shelli, and Clay for Vanessa. Liz has shown to be very loyal to Vanessa and has never turned on her. At least, not as of yet. However, there were times when Liz had thought about turning on Vanessa eventually, but that never came to pass. All of Vanessa's minions have strengths that help her in the game, including Liz. For example, Austin's strengths were social and strategic in that he had a very good social game and he was also one of the strongest strategists next to Vanessa. Julia's strength was her social game as nobody really targeted her or actively disliked her on a personal level. Shelli's strengths were social, strategic and competitive which means that she was the triple threat and did much of Vanessa's dirty work. Shelli was well liked by the majority of the house, was one of the stronger strategists next to Vanessa and Austin and won competitions easily, especially physical or endurance competitions. Clay's strengths were his social game and he was generally well liked by the other houseguests. Liz's strengths in this game were most competitive as she won quite a few competitions which was good for Vanessa's game because Liz ended up doing all of Vanessa's dirty work and getting all the blood of Vanessa's intended targets on her hands for Vanessa's benefit. In comparison to Julia, Liz's social game is not as strong as she is not as well liked as Julia because she does come across as more aggressive and emotional than Julia. Liz's competitiveness definitely benefited Vanessa's game in many ways and also strongly contributed to the strength of their alliance (the "Sixth Sense" alliance).
* ConflictingLoyalty: Has to choose whether she is going to be more loyal to her sister Julia or to her showmantic partner Austin. Liz has openly admitted that when push comes to shove, she will be more loyal to her sister in the end.
* ControlFreak: Liz is extremely bossy, pushy and controlling. Between her and Julia, she is the one who has the tendency to be pushy and assert herself more often. She very much likes to be in control of everything and if she isn't she becomes rather bitchy and belligerent. Even though Julia is the older twin, it's always Liz that's the one dictating the game moves and plans. She definitely took more of the lead when it came to the game than Julia did.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: May come off as TheDitz and the DumbBlonde but she out competes all of the other women in the house. Strategically, she is still strongly lacking though.
* CryCute: Fans have mentioned that although she is unlikeable, Liz is actually a “pretty crier”.
* CuteBruiser: Liz looks cute and harmless, but she’s an ActionGirl and a strong competitor. Definitely the strongest female competitor of the season.
* CuteButCacophonic: Fans complain that Liz (and Julia’s) voice is reall annoying and sounds like someone who chain smokes. There is also that after every single word or sentence, they end it with an “uh” sound (i.e. “Steve-uhhh”, “No-uhhhh”, etc). So, it sounds like every time they are talking, they sound like they are whining and complaining. John even makes fun of Liz and Julia style of talking and their voice in a DR session in Week 11.
* TheCutie: SubvertedTrope. At first, it seemed that Liz might have been a sweet, cute and nice girl. But turns out, she’s actually the meanest and cattiest girl of the bunch this season.
* TheCynic: Is a very sarcastic and negative person by nature, if her constant bad mouthing of other houseguests and her endless complaining about everything are anything to go by.
* DarkActionGirl: One of the strongest women in the game on a competitive level. She is on par with Vanessa. Her sister Julia on the hand has shown to be completely useless in competitions however.
* TheDarkChick: Along with Vanessa. Although, unlike Vanessa, Liz depends on her sexuality and her ability of flirting with the opposite sex to get far in the game. Vanessa, on the other hand, depends on strategy and manipulation to further herself in the game. The opposite of Meg, who could be seen as TheChick of the season.
* DatingCatwoman: Julia cannot understand or figure out what Liz sees in Austin or why she is even pursuing a relationship with him in the house. It’s safe to say that Julia is not a fan of Liz’s relationship with Austin and has outright told Liz to her face that she strongly dislikes Austin and does not trust him.
* DeadpanSnarker: Liz is extremely sarcastic and even cutting at times. She will get extra sassy and snarky when she is irritated.
* DeathGlare: Gives these to anybody that she is either irrtated by, jealous of or those she dislikes.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She is a mega AlphaBitch but around her sister, she has her moments of vulnerability.
* DemotedToDragon: One would automatically think that Liz, along with Austin, are the true villains of the season, because of their unlikeable personalities and their mean spirited ways.However, when one really takes a look at the grand scheme of things in the game, Liz was merely a puppet in Vanessa's game. Vanessa is the one who is controlling everything in the house and Liz is one of Vanessa's many loyal minions who is willing to do all of Vanessa's bidding. Despite Liz and Austin being TheHeavy (the main villain of the season), they are nowhere near as influential or as dangerous as Vanessa.
* DestructiveRomance: With Austin, of course. It’s obvious that Liz’s relationship with Austin is intensely problematic with Austin being very obsessed with Liz on unhealthy levels. For the most part, Liz [[AllLoveIsUnrequited did not feel any romantic connection or attraction towards Austin]] and had even found him loathesome and repulsive. Later on, Liz does end up admitting that she likes him ....but it’s still uncertain as to whether or not Liz is just using him or manipulating him for strategic or game reasons. To make this realtionship sound even more dysfunctional, Liz’s sister Julia despises Austin, does not like him and does not approve of Liz’s relationship with him. To add to that, Austin also has/had a girlfriend back home while he was infatuated with Liz, so technically speaking, Austin is actually cheating on his girlfriend back home with Liz on the show, considering that Austin did not officially break up with his at home girlfriend before going on the show.
* TheDeterminator: Feisty, tough, strong and competitive, Liz is not one to quit or give up when she really wants to win. She is a hell of a lot more competitive than Julia and takes the game more seriously in terms of winning.
* DevourTheDragon: Vanessa has been plotting the demise of Liz (and Julia) for weeks. And now it seems that as of Week 11, Liz’s time might finally be up in the game. Unfortunately for Vanessa, her plan to get rid of Julia and Austin worked, but it did not work when it came to Liz, because Liz ended up lasting longer than Vanessa in the end, because Steve chose to take Liz to the Final 2 over Vanessa.
* TheDitz: Doesn’t seem to have that much in terms of smarts and intelligence. She is a DumbBlonde who comes off as flighty and has displayed profound dumbness. In fact,she comes off as rather clueless and dumb when it comes to game instincts or reads on the house.
* DitzyGenius: Liz is good competitively but she is terrible or mediocre when it comes to strategy. She depends on Austin and Vanessa when it comes to strategy since she is rather clueless about the game and the house dynamics overall.
* TheDragon: For Vanessa (who’s the BigBad of the season). Liz was in an alliance with Vanessa for the majority of the game called the “Sixth Sense”. Liz had strong loyalty to Vanessa for the vast majority of the game. Although, she became this role even more after Shelli was evicted. Liz liked to think that she was calling the shots and that she had power in the game, but in the end, she was nothing more than Vanessa's puppet for her to control. It didn't help that Liz lacked strategy and intelligence, so it made it even easier for Vanessa to treat her like a puppet. Liz has also referenced Vanessa being like the mother figure of their alliance, meaning that Liz perceived Vanessa as the one who had all of the control and the one that would be the one to call all of the shots in the game. Liz would also look to Vanessa to help her make decisions in the game. Other than Julia and Austin, Vanessa was the one person that Liz was most dependent on in the game.
* DragonAscendant: In a way, after Vanessa's shocking elimination in the Final 3, Liz became the last surviving member of the "Sixth Sense". Unfortunately for Liz, her sole strength was [[CripplingOverspecialization winning competitions]] and Steve exploited this flaw during Jury Questions and his Final Speech. He also made a point that Liz had been switching with Julia for nearly half of the entire game, which means that she basically missed out on a lot of what was going on the house. In trustingly enough, Vanessa did end up voting for Liz. The reason why Vanessa voted for Liz over Steve in the end is debatable amongst fans (some fans chalk it up to Vanessa being bitter and angry at Steve for evicting her and other fans feel that she voted for Liz out of loyalty).
* DragonTheirFeet: At Final 3, Steve had one the Final Head of Household, which would give him the opportunity to choose between taking Vanessa and Liz to the Final 2. Because Steve felt that Vanessa was the best player of the season and even argued that Vanessa was one of the best female players in Big Brother history, Steve chose to evict Vanessa over Liz, meaning that Steve took Liz to the Final 2, enduring that she wins at least a $50,000 runner up prize. Vanessa, as the BigBad of the season, was defeated by one of the good guys (Steve). Liz then wanted to beat Steve in the Final 2 to win the big prize but also to partially avenge Vanessa along with Julia and Austin (whom Steve also had a direct hand in evicting). Vanessa did end up voting for Liz to win over Steve; however, it was not enough as Steve defeated Liz in the Final 2 by a 6-3 vote.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Although Liz has been in an alliance with Vanessa for most of the game, it is clear that Liz does not have any real loyalties to Vanessa in the long term. Her loyalties lie with first Julia and second, with Austin. Meaning that Liz will gladly backstab or cut Vanessa if she has to. Unfortunately for Liz, Vanessa has beaten her to the punch as Liz was nominated along with Austin in Week 11. It takes a turn again when at Final 3, Liz makes it farther than Vanessa because Steve won Head of Household at Final 3 and cutting Vanessa, taking Liz to the Final 2 with him.
* DramaQueen: Liz has an EntitledBitch attitude and when things don’t go the way she wants them to, she will throw a temper tantrum like a baby, spoiled child or entitled princess.
* EntitledBitch: Has a temper tantrum when Steve puts her up and claims she was nothing but nice to Steve, when she's really been talking about him (and John) behind their backs.
* DumbBlonde: Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. This is a girl that didn't know what a centimeter is. She also didn't even know who Sigmund Freud was, thinking he was the "lion guys who got bit" (confusing him with Siegfried and Roy, not to mention that she ''and'' Julia also thought that Freud was two people). Needless to say, even Austin was dumbfounded. Her final speech made even Austin appalled and stupefied.
* '''EntitledBitch''': Has a temper tantrum when Steve puts her up in Week 11 and claims she was nothing but nice to Steve, when she's really been talking about him (and John) behind their backs. Her relationship with Steve may change seeing as how he brought her to the jury showdown and she literally thanked him with tears, saying she needed the money so bad (she won $50,000 for finishing second).
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: InUniverse, Liz seems to be generally liked by everyone. However, this is a SubvertedTrope outside of the house. She is actually one of the most disliked houseguests of the season, up there with Vanessa and Austin.
* EvilCounterpart: To Meg. Liz is TheDarkChick while Meg is TheChick. Both Liz and Meg are DumbBlonde’s who are not the sharpest tools in the shed. Both are TheDitz and come off as shallow and dumb about alot of things. Liz is an AlphaBitch, while Meg is a NiceGirl. Liz is an evil blonde, while Meg is a HairOfGold. Both girls seem to love or have an affinity towards Austin. In terms of gameplay, they are both pretty clueless and do not understand the concepts of the game entirely. Both Liz and Meg have somewhat depended on a man in the game (Liz depending on Austin and Meg depending on James). Liz is disliked by the audience while Meg is generally liked by the audience. On the flip side, Liz is more of an ActionGirl and is extremely competitive when it comes to competitions, while Meg is more of TheLoad, who has proven she is very useless competitively.
* EvilIsPetty: Liz is very petty and catty. She constantly personalyl attacks the other houseguests and has said some horrible comments about them behind their backs. She has said something bad or negative about every single houseguest. Instead of commenting how a houseguest is a potential threat to her game, she decides to comment about their personality and their physical appearance instead. For example, in her goodbye message to Jason, she told Jason to have fun watching the rest of the season from his parents basement, knowing that Jason is financially struggling and has to live at home with his parents (which makes her a bit of a hypocrite, because she also apparently still lives with her parents). She has made nasty comments about John for no reason. She has said that it is very easy to make fun of him and called him a socially awkward nerd who may have a personality disorder. She called him a fake person because she says that he seems like he puts on a character in the DR room (she has heard him yelling in the DR) and is completely quiet while he is in the house. She has also made fun of the way John speaks, saying that he sounds like he is incoherent even though he is supposed to be a dentist. She has also trash talked Steve and called him socially awkward, saying that he creeps her out. Liz has bashed James and called him all sorts of name like sexist and a bully. She has made hateful comments about Jackie and her physical appearance, although it is under the assumption that she makes those comments about Jackie out of jealousy. She has also talked crap about Austin behind his back, saying that she thinks that he is an ugly person both on the inside and out and that he only cares about fame and popularity (pot meet kettle!). Liz, along with Julia, is probably the biggest trash talker in the house and she comes across as super bitter and petty when she doesn't get her way. Her easy solution for not getting her way is to bad mouth people, even if they have done nothing to her or not.
* EvilTwin: To Julia. Although both Julia and Liz are mean girls who talk trash constantly, Liz is actually the meaner and more aggressive twin between herself and Julia. It is even lampshaded in the Week 7 Big Brother Comics Veto competition, where Liz is portrayed as the evil or bad twin and Julia is portrayed as the good twin.
* FaceHeelTurn: Started out as what seemed to be a NiceGirl, but it turns out that it wasn’t nothing more than a case of BaitTheDog and she actually turned out to be one of the meanest and nastiest houseguests of the season. Liz is the resident AlphaBitch and mean girl of the season (although the mega or ultimate AlphaBitch of the season is actually Vanessa). Appearances can sure be deceiving.
* TheFashionista: Seems to have a liking of clothing and fashion, as she is seen wearing trendy and fashionable clothing and dresses. Also seems to love wearing high heels. Note ActionFashionista.
* FatalFlaw: Liz was [[HiddenBadass good at winning HOH competitions]], but that's where her [[CripplingOverspecialization actual gameplay strength ended.]] She typically followed Vanessa's every lead when it came to strategy and Austin did a lot of her campaigning. The fact that she [[AlphaBitch was awfully catty to other house guests]] didn't endear her well. Steve ended up [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech exploiting this]] to win the Jury vote.
* FemmeFatale: Uses and relies on flirting and her sexuality as strategy or to advance herself farther in the game. Such as the case with her showmance with Austin. It is apparent that Liz is not really into Austin romantically and is instead just using him for game reasons.
* {{Foil}}: To Meg in many ways. Although they are girls who come off as TheDitz and the DumbBlonde, they are actually rather opposite of one another. Personality wise: Meg is more likeable, while Liz is more unlikeable. Meg is the GirlNextDoor and the NiceGirl; Liz is an AlphaBitch. Meg is a HairOfGoldHeartOfGold; Liz is an evil blonde. Meg is the CuteClumsyGirl; Liz is not. Gamewise: Liz is more competitive and an ActionGirl; while Meg is not competitive and TheLoad. Meg was aligned with the “good side of the house” (James, Jackie, Da’Vonne, Jason, Becky, John); Liz was aligned with the “bad side of the house” (Vanessa, Austin, Shelli, Clay, Julia, Steve). Meg loved James, while Liz hated James. Also see EvilCounterpart.
* GenreBlind: Doesn’t seem to be very brainy or smart when it comes to the game in general. She needs to rely on others who understand the game (Vanessa and Austin for example). Liz thought that the person who wins a Power of Veto is eligible for being a replacement nominee.
* GirlyBruiser: Liz is cute, pretty and feminine in her own right and she takes care of herself in regards to her fashion sense and wearing cosmetics. She may be a DumbBlonde, a GirlyGirl and TheDitz but she has shown that she is also an ActionGirl, being one of the strongest female competitors of the season next to Vanessa.
* GirlyGirl: Likes dressing up, wearing make up and looking pretty. She looks in the mirror alot and obviously cares about her appearance. Her voice is definitely not that girly though and it is rather hoarse and husky.
* GlamourFailure: How Da'Vonne and Jason learned about them.
* GreenEyedMonster: Definitely a jealous type of girl. Hence why she is so catty. She was clearly jealous of Jackie; that is why she always trashtalked her behind her back.
* HairTriggerTemper: Played Straight. Liz is easily angered and fired up. It doesn't take a lot to set her off and when she does, she becomes rather irrational. Julia will often have to be the one to calm her down since Julia, in comparison to Liz, is much less HotBlooded and emotional.
* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: While her winning the final Battle Of The Block secured her sister's entry into the game, it ultimately unraveled the plan to backdoor Austin (which Liz was unaware of), and served as the beginning of the end for Liz's original alliance, the Sixth Sense, which was later resurrected with Steve to form the Scamper Squad.
* HotBlooded: Despite being a mega IceQueen, she has quite the temper and is hot headed, bold and impulsive. Much more than her sister Julia.
* IceQueen: Liz is bitchy, cold and catty. Definite AlphaBitch.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: One of the differences between Liz and Julia that other houseguests noticed when speculation began that Liz was playing as a twin was the false crown on the upper row of Julia's teeth. Liz was also noted to have a scar on her right arm.
* LoveTriangle: Ended up in one with Austin and Jeff. Although she also admitted to having a strong connection with Austin, Liz felt she could use her ability to flirt to help her in the game with Jeff. This love triangle dissolved when Jeff was evicted in Week 3, leaving only Austin.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Served as this for Austin. However, initially, Liz maintained a flirtmance with Austin as a means of gameplay, seeing him only as a friend otherwise. Luckily for him, her feelings started to change by Week 7, putting them in something of a showmance.
* MomentKiller: Liz unknowingly interrupts Shelli and Clay's first kiss in Week 6, when she walks into the backyard. She didn't seem to notice them, though.
* MsFanservice: Shown wearing a bikini in the season's intro sequence, as well as most of her introduction segment (which was shot on a beach), as well as an outfit baring her cleavage in the season finale.
** BareYourMidriff: In addition to bikinis, Liz has worn some cropped midriff-bearing shirts (such as the one she wore on the day of the Week 8 [=HOH=] competition).
* MythologyGag: Liz and Julia (who happen to be both twins) playing as the same person was used in Characters/BigBrother5 with the identical twins Natalie and Adria.
* NumberTwoForBrains: Liz is TheDitz and doesn’t have much in the way of game instincts. Her read on the house is generally way off. She needs Austin and Vanessa to help her in that department. Even Julia has the slight edge over Liz in the strategy or game instincts area. The only thing that Liz has going for her in the game is her ability to win competitions when it is absolutely crucial for her to do so. Even Steve makes a point of this in his Final 2 speech to the Jury.
* ObliviousToLove: Austin was infatuated with Liz but Liz did not even realize that Austin felt that way about her till later. She didn’t realize how obsessed Austin was with her. Eventually, she comes to like him later on though.
* OnlyInFlorida: Liz is originally from Miami, Florida.
* ParentalFavoritism: Played Straight. According to a letter from home that Liz got when she won HOH, her mother had lampshaded that she favored Liz over Julia growing up. It was why Liz had commented on the live feeds that Julia did manage to get the short end of the stick in pretty much all aspects of life. It seemed that Liz had a classic case of YoungestChildWins while Julia suffered from the unfortunate case of MiddleChildSyndrome.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Liz is noted as being more friendly and outgoing in comparison to Julia.
* RelationshipUpgrade: With Austin. Liz started out having a friendship/flirtmance with him out of pure strategy, with no actual romantic interest. It develops into real feelings over time, stating in Week 9 that she likes him "93%". Liz and Austin become an OfficialCouple in Week 10... provided that Austin breaks up with the girlfriend he already has back home after the show. A week after the show, they're still together.
** May also undergo one with Steve after he handed her $50,000 for bringing her to the finals over Vanessa, which shocked her and made her cry with joy.
* SiblingTeam: With Julia. While they've been part of an alliance since Week 2, the main objective of the two is to survive the game to the final three; however, Liz ends up the only one who make it that far, after Julia gets evicted in Week 10.
* SuperOCD: Liz reveals she is this, particularly in regards to messy environments, in a DR entry shown in Episode 31 during the Week 10 veto comp. Unfortunately for her, the comp involved trying to find another contestant's veto card in a messy BB House that's been trashed by the other contestants.
* TearsOfJoy: When Steve took her to the Final 2.
* TwinSwitch: Does this with her sister Julia as part of the "Twin Twist". Their cover was blown by Da'Vonne (who, along with Jason, could tell Liz and Julia apart by the minor differences in weight between them) in Week 2, as both she and Jason told most of the other houseguests how they found out. In Week 3, after swapping places with Liz, Julia admitted to Vanessa that she had been swapping places with her sister; though this turned out better than it could have, since Vanessa, Austin, Shelli and Clay put Liz/Julia in their alliance.

->'''Voted For (In Jury):''' LIZ

* [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating 0% Approval Rating/100% Villainy Rating]]: Wondering if Vanessa is infamous? YESIRRE BOB! She's at the bottom of the popularity polls for good reason. Vanessa earned this disdain due to being the most ruthless player of the whole season, but unlike the others who gained their infamy, hers seems to have actually doubled back into TropesAreNotBad, because people hate her for being such an effective villain and ''[[HateSink should]]'' feel this way, and praise her for her villainy.
* TheAce: Vanessa is the strongest strategic and competitive player of the season. Not only has she ran the game and the entire house strategically since the beginning, but she has also won numerous competitions. So far, she has won four Head of Household titles and [[spoiler: three Power of Vetoes]]. She's repeatedly shown to be the most deadly player in the game all around.
* ActionGirl[=/=]DarkActionGirl: Vanessa is the strongest female competitor and player of the season. She was actually a much stronger competitor than the majority of the men this season including Austin, Clay, John, James and Jason. Going on competition wins, she has won a total of 4 Head of Household titles and 3 Power of Veto titles. Not only was she active competition wise but she was also active strategically. Vanessa was TheManBehindTheMan who ran the game from the beginning, having had a hand in every single eviction that happened week to week. As for her overall gameplay she is the embodiment of a very strong female player.
* AllAccordingToPlan: Vanessa was the most strategic player. Every move she made she had planned. Every single fight with a houseguest that happened, she had orchestrated as target placement of a the houseguest she wanted to be targeted and evicted. She would strategically throw competitions and win competitions according to her plan. She would backstab and betray the people that she felt were a threat to her game. But in the end, Vanessa's plan ended up failing as she did not bet on Steve winning the final Head of Household and cutting her. Vanessa has even said during a DR session that she thought Steve would take her to the final 2 over Liz. But she was wrong. So in the end, Vanessa failed.
* '''AlphaBitch''': Vanessa is the BIGGEST bitch of the entire season. Even the mean girls like Julia and Liz can not fill Vanessa's bitch shoes. Vanessa is very controlling, bossy, and domineering. She likes to control everything and if she doesn't get her way, she resorts to causing trouble and drama. Vanessa is a MagnificentBitch, a ManipulativeBitch, TheBully, an evil blonde, and a DramaQueen all rolled into one. Vanesa is also HotBlooded and extremely confrontational and argumentative, meaning that she will start fights with other people either to embarrass them, shame them or harass them. Most of Vanessa starting fights with other houseguests was strategic as she felt that she could put target placement on houseguests whom she had an argument with. She is willing to intimidate and bully other people to get her way and she will sabotage other people's games to achieve her goals. Vanessa is a combo of the the Type 1 and Type 2 Alpha Bitch personalities. She fits the Type 1 mould because she is openly rude and intimidating towards other houseguests and does not seem to have any consideration for who she hurts in the process. Despite her terrible personality and her horrible behaviour, Vanessa still had a lot of followers and minions that were loyal to her and willing to do anything for her in the game. Vanessa also fits the Type 2 personality because she is actually an EvilGenius and ManipulativeBitch who has proven to be very strategic, cunning, and sharp in regards to the game. She is a very smart woman and has very strong instincts regarding the game and the other houseguests intentions. To add, she also has a near ZeroPercentApprovalRating outside of the house, because she is so incredibly unlikeable and vile in her ways. Vanessa is the overall Alpha Bitch of the season, but Julia, Liz and even Shelli are her BetaBitch's, as she was controlling them in the game and they were allies who worked for her.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Vanessa has shown she's mentally unstable and she may suffer from a variety of different mental disorders although she is most likely undiagnosed. There's some speculation that Vanessa may suffer from '''BipolarDisorder (Manic Depression)'''. She shows the classic symptoms of someone who suffers from the disorder such as manic/hypomanic episodes, severe [[MoodSwinger mood swings]], incoherent and racing thoughts, [[MotorMouth rapid speech]], extreme [[HotBlooded irritability]], [[DelusionsOfGrandeur grandiose beliefs and ideas]], inflated [[AGodAmI sense of self-importance]], [[WildCard unpredictability]], euphoric/high moods, [[TheEeyore constant depressive/sad]] episodes, and constant crying spells. Others speculate that Vanessa may suffer from '''[[HollywoodPersonalityDisorders Borderline Personality Disorder]] (BPD)'''. She shows classic signs of being a Borderline Personality such having [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity extreme black and white views]], [[AxCrazy unstable emotions]], [[MoodSwinger severe, erratic mood swings]], bouts of [[HairTriggerTemper extreme anger]], [[PleaseDontLeaveMe fear of being abandoned]] or other people turning against her, chaotic/unstable relationships with others, risk-taking/risky behavior, and [[WildCard unpredictability]]. It's also possible that Vanessa could suffer from '''[[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder]] (ADHD)'''. The symptoms of ADHD that she exhibits includes restlessness, hyperactivity, lack of focus or concentration, racing thoughts and speech, and excessive, over the top behavior.
* ArchEnemy: Vanessa has quite a few of these. It’s not surprising considering what she's done and how many people she's betrayed throughout the game.
** '''John.''' Probably the biggest contender as her one true enemy throughout the entire game. John and Vanessa have been on opposing sides with John being the BigGood and Vanessa being the BigBad of the season.Vanessa has always viewed John as a threat to her game. John has always been onto Vanessa and her tactics. He acknowleged in a DR session that he has been onto Vanessa’s game since the beginning but has never been able to do anything about it. Vanessa has been John’s number one target for the entire game and he has told numerous houseguests this. John has also said that he does not like the way Vanessa plays the game, using intimidation and bullying. John even flat out called Vanessa out on her behaviour, even referring to Vanessa as TheBully to her face. Vanessa did not take this well and she ended up targeting him even more than before. After John is evicted and comes back after winning the jury re-entry competition, John decides to play EnemyMine and make a DealWithTheDevil by aligning with Vanessa. It doesn’t end well as Vanessa ends up going back to targetting him. In the Final 4, Vanessa ends up being the sole vote to evict him and he is sent to jury as the eighth jury member. It is very obvious that John and Vanessa had no loyalties to each other as John said after he was evicted a second time that he would have evicted Vanessa and not honored their “Final 2 deal”. There is also the fact that John and Vanessa had strongly conflicting personalities and they just did not like each other or respect each other on a personal level.
** '''Becky.''' Vanessa describes Becky as this in a DR in Episode 24 (Week 8). The biggest reason why Vanessa viewed Becky as an enemy is because Becky was onto Vanessa and was planning on comign after her. Becky ends up winning Head of Household and targeting Vanessa for eviction. Vanessa thought that she was untouchable and invincible and that she would never touch the block. After Becky backdoors Vanessa once Steve won the Power of Veto, Vanessa throws a temper tantrum at Becky, saying that she will get revenge against her for putting her on the block. Vanessa gets so angry at Becky that she ends up personally attacking Becky calling her a “cold hearted bitch” and a mean person. Becky also showed that she clearly disliked Vanessa and did not respect her or her gameplay. Becky would constantly trash talk Vanessa to other houseguests, saying that she was a manipulative bitch who cries all the time and makes herself come off as a victim. Becky would also make fun of Vanessa by imitating her behaviour. For Becky, Vanessa was her number one enemy. For Vanessa, Becky was a secondary enemy in the game after John.
** '''Austin.''' The two started out as close allies in the game from the beginning. They had even made a promise that they would take each other to the end. However, at some point, Vanessa had made plans on back dooring Austin, Vanessa felt as though Austin was betraying her and turning on her. Vanessa claimed that she caught Austin lying and throwing her under the bus to other houseguests. Vanessa ended up forgiving Austin after he begged her for a second chance. But in Week 12, Vanessa made plans on targeting Austin once more. After John (her first target) had won the Final 5 Power of Veto, Vanessa replaced John with Austin. Austin, even though nominated, felt that he was safe against Steve on the block. But during the final 5 eviction, Vanessa ended up blindsiding Austin in the most dirty imaginable after the vote went to a tie and Vanessa broke it. Austin ended up extremely angry and bitter at Vanessa even going so far as saying that Vanessa will not get the jury votes if she makes it to the Final 2 chairs. Austin even said in his interview to Julie that he will make sure that Vanessa does not win the game. Vanessa ended up turning a once ally into a angry enemy. When Vanessa was cut at Final 3 by Steve, Austin was elated and happy to see that Vanessa was cut when she was so close to getting to the end and winning.
** '''James.''' James had been targeting Vanessa for a while. The reason for this is because Vanessa had been targeting and evicting James' allies one by one. She went after Jeff, Da'Vonne, Audrey and Jason, all of which were James' allies in the game. James has also been onto Vanessa and her gameplay, even openly stating tthat he does not respect the way Vanessa plays the game because she plays way too hard and aggressive. When James confronted Vanessa and told this to her face, Vanessa took it as a huge insult and targeted James even more than before. Vanessa also was after James because he was obviously targeting her allies, such as Shelli and Clay. James was the one who was responsible for Vanessa's allies, Shelli and Clay, being nominated and one of them going home (Clay). James saw that Vanessa was the most dangerous player in the game and had a strong desire to take her out. Unfortunately for him, he managed to fail. Despite James and Vanessa's differences in the game and them being on opposite sides of the house, James admits later on that if Vanessa were in the Final 2, he would have voted for her to win, despite him saying earlier on that he did not like the way Vanessa played the game.
* AttentionWhore: It is obvious that many of Vanessa's antics or behaviour conducted in the game were mostly strategic on Vanessa's part. This includes her desire to be the centre of attention at all times. One could assume that Vanessa acted confrontational with other houseguests because she seriously loved the drama and the attention that came along with it. Vanessa will also cry out of the blue, even when there is no reason for her to be crying in the first place. She did this because she wanted attention and sympathy from the other houseguests. It is clear that Vanessa is a mega DramaQueen who loves drama for the hell of it. Vanessa's attention seeking ways managed to turn off many of the other houseguests.
* ASimplePlan: To avoid getting blood on her hands in the game by carrying out the plan to backdoor Austin herself, Vanessa draws out a plan with Jackie to have James and Liz throw the Week 5 Battle of the Block comp, so Jackie can backdoor Austin instead. Unfortunately, this plan also involved intentionally not clueing in Liz on the plan once Julia traded places with her or on Austin's statement that he wanted to sell out Julia so he can go to jury with Liz, to keep her head in the game. It backfires on them when Liz wins the comp, leaving Clay and Becky on the block and Vanessa in power... and having to do the thing she didn't want to do, target Austin. Vanessa chose to keep Liz in the dark through the POV, despite her worry that it could backfire again should Liz win the comp without knowing everything (she didn't, Clay did). Vanessa, questioning whether it is a good idea to blow up the Sixth Sense alliance by ousting Austin, then began to reconsider the plan – betraying Jason, Meg, James and Jackie in the process and exposing her other alliance after she, Clay and Shelli agreed upon putting up Jason as a replacement nominee after Clay wins the POV. This came back to bite her alliance when James won [=HoH=] without a [=BoB=] twist, and led to Clay's eviction, possibly starting the descent of Sixth Sense anyway – particularly with Vanessa ending up as Becky's backdoor target in Week 7 (Becky failed to get her evicted).
* BaitTheDog[=/=]BitchInSheepsClothing: During pre season and the first couple of weeks of the season, Vanessa seemed like she would be a likeable houseguest. Fans rooted for her because she seemed to be very intelligent and could possibly be a really strong female player. However, as the weeks passed, Vanessa's true colors came out and it was evident that she was a very unlikeable person. Instead of being a likeable and strong female houseguest that the audience had hope for, Vanessa revealed herself to be a very mean, aggressive, hateful and domineering individual who was also a drama queen who cried too much for attention. She progressively got worse as the season went on to the point where her popularity amongst the audience dropped so low that she became one of the most hated or disliked houseguests of the season. Even after the season is long over, there are still a large and vocal group of ''Big Brother'' fans who hate her guts. They even managed transfer their feelings of disdain and hatred towards Vanessa out on her younger sister, Tiffany, who became a houseguest on ''Big Brother 18''.
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Every time that Vanessa opens her mouth, she is lying about something. She states that she hates people who lie to her, yet she has no problem doing it herself. Vanessa lies so much but she doesn't seem to realize that she is lying herself. And when she is lying, she has a tendency to believe that what she is saying is the truth or is reality. Vanessa will use mind games while lying to other people by trying to convince them that she is telling the truth while they are the ones who are lying when it is very apparent when Vanessa is the one doing the lying and the deceiving in the first place.
* BerserkButton[=/=]{{Hypocrite}}: Vanessa ''really'' hates liars and can tell when someone is lying. This is odd because she's lied to pretty much every houseguest in telling them they were safe, while secretly plotting their demise. Whenever Vanessa caught a houseguest in a lie or if she discovered that someone in the house was going against her or wanted her out of the house, she would get very angry and resort to bullying people.
* BigBad: Could be considered to be the overall villain of the season, which is the opposite of John (John and Vanessa were each other's one true ArchEnemy and the two butted heads for the entire game) who could be seen as the overall TheHero and BigGood. Vanessa is an AlphaBitch, an EvilGenius, TheBully, a ConsummateLiar, and a ManipulativeBitch. She is easily being portrayed as the villain and she is one of the most hated houseguests of the season with a mild ZeroPercentApprovalRating from the viewers. It doesn't help that she is extremely aggressive and that she seems to take pleasure in bullying people and emotionally manipulating others. She has also lied to and backstabbed almost every single houseguest with little to no remorse. She will start fights with people but then blame the other person for starting the fight while she plays the victim card. Vanessa is also a dirty player who has gotten personal and petty during the game. Many of her moves have been personal and she unnecessarily treated other houseguests terribly. Her status as villain was briefly downplayed during Week 11, when she solidified an alliance with John and Steve. However, she went back to being the villain in Week 12 after she targets John, the fan favorite. It was clear that she was the most dangerous player of the entire season. Vanessa had played the role of TheManBehindTheMan aka the puppet master that controlled everything. Vanessa has many TheDragon's working for her and doing her dirty work for her (Austin, Shelli, Clay, Liz, Julia, Steve). Vanessa was the biggest threat to everyone's game. Although Austin, Shelli, Julia and Liz were obvious villains that were unlikeable, Vanessa was the major danger and threat.
* BiTheWay: Vanessa has dated men in the past but she is currently involved in a relationship with a woman named Mel. Vanessa has said on the live feeds that she was married but that her husband Chad (who was also a poker player) had gotten cancer and then he died. Vanessa said that after her husband was diagnosed with cancer, she had gotten a divorce from him. She has expressed guilt for doing such a thing, feeling like she should have supported him through his illness more. See LipstickLesbian.
* BitchAlert: Vanessa is a very emotional, volatile and aggressive person. She is also TheBully who likes to intimidate people to get her way. She is a bitch and she seems to make it known to everyone that she likes to be the one in control. Vanessa doesn't seem to care that she backstabs and lies to people as long as she gets her way. She obviously believes that she is the one who runs the house. Vanessa can walk into a room and everyone would be able to sense or feel her major bitch vibe. She also come across as very intimidating.
* BloodKnight: Vanessa is a big competitor and she is not one to back down from a fight. She has won a lot of competitions (she won a total of 4 Head of Household titles and 3 Power of Veto titles). She is also very impulsive and HotBlooded and she doesn't seem to think before she acts. If she doesn't win competitions to fight against the other houseguests, she will resort to using strategy and manipulation. If strategy and manipulation do not work, then she will resort to intimidation or bullying tactics to achieve her goals in the game. Vanessa has a very aggressive, "guns blazing" attitude.
* BrooklynRage: Vanessa is originally from New York (White Plains, New York to be exact), but she currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada because she is a professional poker player for a living. Vanessa definitely displays the attitude and the personality of someone who is from New York, in that she has a very aggressive and HotBlooded personality.
* TheBully: Vanessa has used intimidating tactics on other houseguest to get information out of them, and came off as a major bully. John has told Vanessa to her face that she was this, and did not like or respect her bullying ways. Vanessa also has a habit of starting fights with people, and crying afterwards as a way of emotionally manipulating people.
* BadBoss: Vanessa was seen to treat her allies very poorly. Even though she has so many people willing to do all of her diary work for her and are willing to be loyal to her, despite her intolerable personality, she doesn't seem to understand that the game of ''Big Brother'' is a social game. In order to win in the end, one needs a strong social game where the fellow houseguest are treated with kindness. Vanessa not only treated her enemies horribly, but she would be pretty awful to her close allies, such as Austin and Steve for example. Austin was very loyal to her since the beginning, but Vanessa would often intimidate Austin and try to humiliate him simply because she enjoyed watching him be uncomfortable. And she didn't always treat Steve very nicely either. When Steve was nominated alongside John, Vanessa went out of her way to call him out and start an argument with him about him starting an four or five person alliance with John to try to get Vanessa out of the house. She had no problem making Steve panic in front of the house, showing that she is little to no regard for her allies feelings.
* BrokenTears: She fell apart when she broke a tie and voted Austin out of the house because he was in a showmance, and he called her out that she wouldn't win the jury vote, and she knew it.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Her poker experience definitely showed in running the game alongside Shelli, but she's very emotional. In fact, the first live feed moment we saw is Vanessa crying about missing her girlfriend. Ironically enough, Vanessa has stated that she went to law school before entering the professional poker circuit, which would have made her a half-literal interpretation of this trope had she not changed career paths.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Despite Steve frequently [[TheStarscream lying to her and proving to be an untrustworthy ally]], Vanessa would not pull the trigger on getting him eliminated because she felt she needed him when it came down between her and the "Austwins." [[FatalFlaw This proved to ultimately be her downfall.]]
* TheChessmaster: Despite, presumably, wearing her emotions on her sleeve, Vanessa has time and again managed to manipulate the house into getting the game to go her way. Right down to making it two the Final 5 and contending with two "Final 2 Pairings" [[note]] Austin and Liz, and Johnny Mac and Steve[[/note]] and successfully breaking them up.
* ConsummateLiar: Vanessa is probably the biggest liar in the entire house. If Vanessa is openingher mouth, then she is most likely telling a lie. She doesn’t seem to feel bad or guilty for lying either. Vanessa was caught in a few lies in later weeks, increasing the target on her back. One in particular occurred when Becky outed Vanessa's Week 5 plan to get out Austin: in Week 9, when Austin earns his first [=HOH=], Vanessa lies to him about having James throw the POV competition to enact the backdoor plan she later bailed out on. She eventually admits she knew about the plan when Austin asks her upfront about it later on.
* DirtyCoward: Repeatedly stated how much she hated when people lied to her and betrayed her to get farther in the game. Yet, she had consistently said that she was willing to backstab and betray people to get father in the game herself. She had made so many Final 2 deals throughout the game with numerous people (she had Final 2 deals with Steve, Julia, Austin, Liz, John, etc) and had thrown ‘’all of them’’ under the bus to each other at one point. Therefore, it only made Vanessa come off as disloyal, backstabbing and shady. An example of this is her making a Final 2 deal with Austin and making promises that she will want to get to the end with him, yet she does him extremely dirty by nominating him and then blindsiding him unnecessarily. Vanessa also made a Final 2 deal with Julia, promising that she will take her to the end, yet she ends up voting her out. Vanessa said that she wanted to go to the end with John; therefore, she made a Final 2 deal with him. However, she had no intentions of upholding the deal she made with John and had no problems with voting him out at Final 4. Vanessa was even going to throw Steve to the wolves without any regret and had planned on backstabbing him at Final 3 shall she win the final [=HOH=]. And Steve is somebody whom she had loyalty for the majority of the game! It is clear Vanessa had no problem with being a dirty player and throwing people, including her own allies, under the bus. When she does end up backstabbing people, she will blame someone else for her actions, cry and then play the victim card. Vanessa may have been a strong player but she was also a big time coward as she never owned up to her lies, her manipulation, her intimidation, her bullying tactics and her deceptive behaviour. She would even lie about her game and her intentions during her DR sessions. All in all, Vanessa is the epitome of a scumbag player.
* '''DramaQueen''': Vanessa was the biggest drama queen in the entire house. She would get overly emotional about almost ''everything''. She seemed to thrive off of starting drama with other houseguests. Hence, the reason why she resorted to displaying intimidating and bullying behaviour. Vanessa’s MO was to start fights with houseguests so that they would become a target. Any houseguest that Vanessa wanted out would end up having some kind of an altercation with her. Vanessa would then end up making the other houseguest look like the bad guy by blaming them instead of taking responsibility for her own behaviour and actions. She would then cry and try to pass herself off as a poor victim that was done wrong by the person she started a fight with. Vanessa has cried so much in the house that she seriously rivals Amber Sivayus (from ''Big Brother 8''), [=GinaMarie=] Zimmerman (from ''Big Brother 15'') and Helen Kim (from ''Big Brother 15'') for the title of “Houseguest Who Has Cried The Most In Big Brother History”. Drama queen is basically Vanessa’s first, middle and last name.
* EntitledBitch: Vanessa would act completely spoiled and bratty when things didn't go as she planned. She would throw a temper tantrum and pout when things didn’t turn out the way she wanted them too. Vanessa says that she absolutely hates liars and backstabbers, yet she was the biggest backstabber and liar in the house. She had thrown everyone under the bus at one point or another. But she apparently had a major problem or issue with anyone that did it to her. She had shown an entitled attitude regarding the houseguests, even saying that anyone that betrayed her would not have her loyalty or her vote at the end. Vanessa showed this bitter and entitled attitude on finale night after Steve evicted her at Final 3. Because Steve evicted her, Vanessa ended up voting for Liz over Steve, even though it was clear that Steve played a better game than Liz all season and that what Steve did by evicting Vanessa was a good game move. The funny thing is that Vanessa said that if the roles were reversed and she had won Final 3 [=HOH=], she would have planned on cutting Steve as well. Vanessa displayed nothing but an entitled attitude all season and she came off as a spoiled, bratty child throwing a temper tantrum and crying because she didn’t get her way.
* EvilGenius: Vanessa is very smart, manipulative and crafty. She is aware of everything that goes on in the house. She always thought up brilliant plans in order to save herself. Vanessa is TheStrategist who is always one step ahead of all of the houseguests. Strategically she dominated the entire season by a long shot. She is a professional poker player after all.
* EvilIsPetty: Vanessa has played the game rather dirty. She has resorted to intimidation tactics and bullying to further herself in the game. She also doesn't seem to feel guilty or bad about lying to people constantly and backstabbing them. Vanessa says that she hates when people lie to her and betray her and gets upset and angered when others do so but she has no problem with doing it herself. A lot of her game moves have been mostly personal for the most part. Vanessa likes to think of herself as strategic player by she has played very personal.
* FatalFlaw: Vanessa has two notable ones, both leading to Steve eliminating her in the Final 3.
** Whenever Vanessa found a target, she would blow up at them and instigate a fight before they would eventually be eliminated. In week 9 she did this to Steve, only to change her mind at the last minute and get everyone to flip the vote onto Johnny Mac. She expected Steve to [[WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency be grateful to this.]] Steve saw it as a sign to eliminate her before the Final 2.
** Despite being the leader of her Alliance between herself, Austin, and the twins, Vanessa also finds herself the most expendable of the four when it comes to loyalty. Because she frequently instigated fights with other house guests, she found herself lacking any other allies outside of Steve, [[TheStarscream who frequently lied to her]], and Johnny Mac, who [[WildCard she could not get a read on what his motives were]]. Vanessa ultimately chooses Steve as her final ally over Johnny Mac, which leads to her own elimination.
* FinalBoss: Vanessa was the houseguest who was opposing Steve. Steve was the only remaining houseguest who was originally from the other side of the house. However, Vanessa lost the final [=HOH=], leading to Steve backdooring her, making her the final person to be evicted.
* GenreBlindness: In Week 7, Vanessa (knowing she could end up as that week's target for eviction) decides to make a deal with Becky to keep her from being put up on the block as a replacement nominee. Vanessa, however, failed to learn the lesson that Shelli learned the previous week that making deals with the [=HoH=] to keep you off the eviction block won't work if you are their intended target, and therefore they do not owe you to honor said deal. Least she expects it, Becky decides to put Vanessa up on the block when Steve wins the POV and takes himself off, going forward with her backdoor plan to get her out, which doesn't work.
* GratuitousFrench: Vanessa busts out a French phrase that translates to "Well, shoot. Damn, really?" after the botched Battle of the Block competition in Week 5.
* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Her Own Petard]]:
** Vanessa allowed Clay and Shelli to convince her to go against the Week 5 plan of evicting Austin following his conversation with Jason about the twins, which Jason quickly spread around the house, infuriating Julia, one of the twins. Instead of putting Austin as a replacement nominee when Clay planned to use the Veto as agreed with the House, Clay and Shelli listened to Austin's pleas, and got Vanessa to backdoor Jason instead. This not only exposed the Sixth Sense, but got ''both'' Clay and Shelli nominated the next week when James, one of the three houseguests in the alliance opposing Sixth Sense (which included Jason before his eviction), won [=HoH=] with no [=BoB=] twist[[note]]The "Battle of the Block" twist had been taken out of play starting that week[[/note]], which lead to Clay's eviction when James also won the Veto. Vanessa then had to face the block with Shelli when her alliance couldn't regain the [=HoH=].
** One of the most recent classic examples of the trope: She had her hands over the eviction of every single jury member, and when she ended up becoming the final jury member when she failed the last question in the finale [=HoH=] game[[note]]Bonus points for that question being from Steve's friend John, the semifinal juror and someone who Vanessa had personally evicted as the final Veto Holder (but not the [=HoH=])[[/note]], it was now possible for those jury members to throw their support behind the sole survivor of the houseguests not in The Sixth Sense in the game's first half, leading to Steve winning over her Sixth Sense comrade, Liz (who still finished second, won $50,000, and was crying when Steve spared her.)
* '''HystericalWoman''': Vanessa is genuinely insane and crazy. She has constant emotional breakdowns and she goes through FreakOut nearly on a daily basis. She is constantly seen to be crying or breaking down even at the smallest things. She can't seem to keep a control over her emotions and she displays constant erratic behavior. Because of her constant emotional breakdowns, many fans have been led to believe that Vanessa is definitely mentally and emotionally unstable. Even though she hasn't been officially diagnosed with any mental illness, there is no doubt that she suffers from some kind of mental disorder(s) considering how overly emotional and unstable she comes across.
* IdiotBall: Much to Shelli's shock upon smelling it, Vanessa accidentally sprays her hair with disinfectant in Week 7 (while the two were discussing who Becky might target for eviction), mistaking it for a can of hairspray.
* ManipulativeBitch[=/=]MagnificentBitch: Vanessa is the biggest liar and manipulator in the house. She is TheChessmaster, an EvilGenius, TheStrategist and TheBrute all in one meaning she is a very dangerous player. Vanessa is brilliant and manipulative; she always knows what everyone else is planning and what is going on in the house. Her reads on houseguests and the dynamics of the house are pretty accurate for the most part. Vanessa always has a plan and if her first plan doesn't work out, she will create or orchestrate a new plan. Vanessa always has a goal in mind and she is TheDeterminator when it comes to her achieving it. She is willing to backstab and lie in order to achieve her goals and he agenda. Although she is not particularly likeable and charismatic, she is still able to take on TheLeader role and get people to listen to her. Although she did not win, she could still hold the title for the most deadly player of the season.
* NiceHat: Often wears various, usually knit, hats. For example, the black hat in the intro.
* PlayingBothSides: Tried doing this in Week 5 by reaching out to the four houseguests not already aligned (James, Jackie, Jason and Meg, all of whom would end up aligning as part of the After Dark Crew) to help her and the rest of the Sixth Sense alliance get rid of Austin. It fails when Vanessa decides against going forward with her plan, ultimately making her, Shelli and Clay targets with the other side of the house in the process and costing Clay and Shelli their games.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: She and Clay both say in episode 17, "I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place".
* TheStrategist: Her strategical skills as a poker player play a minor part in how she's managed to craft her game strategy. Vanessa immediately has a specific gameplan for who that week's [=HOH=] should target each week they're in power, based on rumors she's heard or factual statements she's been told directly or through a third-party... or so it seems.
* TeamMom: Described as this for the Sixth Sense alliance by Liz in Episode 21 (Week 7).
* WhatTheHellHero: Vanessa starts to doubt her trust in Shelli and Clay when Shelli excludes her in her (later semi-unhonored) deal with James to keep her, Clay and off the block. Shelli then blows off Vanessa when she tries to tell Shelli she will be loyal to them to the end after the Week 6 nomination ceremony, with the latter taking it personally, and culminating in an argument in which Clay outright blames Vanessa for reversing course on the Austin backdoor plan that caused Jason's eviction and resulted in him and Shelli being put targeted by James,[[note]]Shelli and Clay did help convince Vanessa to change the plan but Vanessa was doubting the worth of putting up Austin beforehand[[/note]] which Vanessa called Clay out on the fact that it was ''their'' plan (not solely hers). Shelli and Vanessa did make up in the end, although Shelli's partner Clay was evicted, and Shelli and Vanessa became the next pair up for eviction.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Accused by Becky of invoking this in Week 8 during a conversation with Liz, Julia and Austin, regarding her shifting allegiances (particularly her failed attempt to give Austin the boot, and her close alignment with Shelli and Clay before helping spearhead their evictions).
-->'''Becky:''' If you don't serve a benefit [to Vanessa], you can be backdoored any second.
** In the jury house vignette seen on Week 8's eviction episode, Shelli notes that she feels Vanessa considered her and Clay expendable, and was responsible for their evictions.

* '''HundredPercentAdorationRating''': A large majority of the ''Big Brother'' viewing audience loves John, and he seemed like the clear favorite to win "America's Favourite Houseguest" at the end of the season. The only other houseguests that could possibly come close to John are James (who did win) and Jason.
* TheAce: John has shown to be the strongest male competitor alongside James, and has come in second or third place in almost all of the POV and HOH competitions. He has also won a Battle of the Block competition and has four POV wins under his belt.
* ActionHero: John has shown that despite his size, he is a very strong competitor. He has won quite a few competitions and has also come in the top three in many other comps, won a "Battle of the Block" and four POV's. John is also very good at endurance competitions and has come in the top three in both of them, and came in second in several other POV and HOH competitions. Liz and Clay even referred to John as being the "Veto King". In fact, it's safe to say that John is the official "Power of Veto King" of the season, as [[spoiler: in Week 12, John won his fourth consecutive Power of Veto, tying him with James Rhine (from ''[[Characters/BigBrother6 Big Brother 6]] and [[Characters/BigBrotherAllStars Big Brother All Stars]]'') and Shane Meaney (from ''Big Brother 14'') for most POV wins won by a male houseguest in a single season.]]
* '''ActionSurvivor''': John survived an incredible ''seven'' out of '''NINE''' times put on the block and even managed to win his way back into the game when he finally got evicted. Sadly, he still ended up going out of the game only a few weeks later, for real this time.
* {{Adorkable}}: John is very nerdy, adorable and lovable. He is also very smart and intelligent, although he does not show it. John's likablility is mostly due to the fact that he is an introvert and is a bit of a loner, adding to his nerd status.
* AscendedFanboy: John is actually a superfan of ''Big Brother'' and has been watching the show since ''Big Brother 2''. He has also applied to be a contestant on the show since ''Big Brother 9''. Although, his fellow houseguests do not know of his superfan status, as John stated that he planned on hiding his this as strategy.
* '''AllLovingHero''': John doesn't seem to show any strong personal dislike or hatred towards any of his fellow houseguests, and is generally kind and polite to everyone; in point of fact, having never badmouthed or trash talked his fellow houseguests. John even managed treat Vanessa who has been his main enemy with as much kindness as possible.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: John is loved by the viewers of the show, but everyone that was in the house with him (aside from Steve) seemed to really like gossiping about John behind his back. He was LockedOutOfTheLoop from being part of alliances for the most part, only forming one with [[PortmanteauCoupleName Clelli]] and Steve. He tried to form one with Becky, but she only saw him as a friend.
* '''AnnoyingLaugh''': John's guffawing "DUHUHAHUH" laugh is one of the most goofy and obnoxious there is, and Zingbot is proud to call him out over it.
* ArchEnemy:
** '''Vanessa.''' She has been John's main enemy throughout the game. While John is seen as TheHero and the BigGood, Vanessa is portrayed as the BigBad (or the villain) of the season. To use ''Batman'' analogy, Vanessa could be seen as TheJoker to John's ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' (Bruce Wayne). John states Vanessa as being his one true enemy in the DR in Episode 25 (Week 8). Aside from the fact that John doesn't really care for Vanessa on a personal level because of her emotional personality and pushiness, and her gameplay style, there is also the fact that Vanessa threw John's name out as a target for many weeks. She also had a hand in evicting or targeting almost every single one of his friends and allies (such as Jeff, Clay, Shelli and Becky). Vanessa also trash-talked John behind his back and tried to personally slander him to other houseguests in the name of the game, to make him into an even bigger target. John openly told Vanessa ''to her face'' that he thought of her as a bully, and does not like when she cries and yells at people to try to intimidate them into getting information. It's very clear that John does not respect Vanessa as a gameplayer and that she is his #1 target.
** '''Austin.''' He became an enemy of John's after nominating him and his closest ally, Steve, in Week 9. While John didn't actively dislike Austin, he obviously did not trust him since Austin had been targeting him on a personal level, as Austin disliked or maintained an IrrationalHatred towards John since the start of the game, although it could be assumed that this could have been because Austin was jealous of John's likability and popularity. John did get back at Austin for having him evicted when he cast the tiebreaker-making vote against Austin in the first of the Week 11 Double Evictions that led Vanessa to be the deciding vote to evict Austin, causing John to finally got vengeance or revenge against him.
* AudienceSurrogate: Many fans see the show through John's eyes. A lot of the time, John said exactly what the viewers thought.
* BackFromTheDead: John was evicted by a unanimous vote in Week 9, but won the jury re-entry competition, only to be evicted for good three weeks later during the Week 12 Double Eviction.
* BadassAdorable: John is a strong competitor, but he is also very endearing and loveable at the same time.
* BadassBeard: More like a Badass Chinstrap. Despite also having a BeardOfSorrow, because he is the ultimate underdog of the season and had the toughest ride in the house, he's also totally underestimated in the game. Although, he did prove that he can really compete when he wants to.
* BadassBookworm: John is very intelligent and book smart, having graduated college with a degree in finance and attended medical school (he is a dentist, after all).
* BadassInDistress: John was constantly used as a pawn in the game by other houseguests and because of this, frequently found himself on the block, causing him to have to either save himself by winning POV's or through votes against another houseguest. In some ways, John kind of made this possible by asking to be nominated and used as a pawn. By the time he was evicted again in Week 12, he was on the block a total of ''nine times'', tying Spencer Clawson (''Big Brother 15'') and Victoria Rafaeli (''Big Brother 16'') for the most eviction nominations against a single contestant in a single season.
* BashBrothers: With Clay and Steve. John saw both of them as allies; in fact, he did not take it too well when Clay was evicted in Week 6. After Clay was evicted, Steve basically took Clay's spot as his closest ally.
* BattleCouple: With Becky. Although John and Becky were not in an official showmance and were just friends, they were a strong duo in the game. Their alliance was very much under the radar for the majority of the game as John and Becky decided to keep their alliance as secret as possible. John and Becky also showed that they were very strong competitors and even Clay, Shelli and Liz said that John and Becky were the "power couple" of the season.
* BattleOfWits: Often with Vanessa. According to one of his DR sessions, John was onto Vanessa's game since the beginning, as he has been observing her behaviour and actions throughout the season and knew that she had a hand in almost every single eviction during his time in the house. Vanessa realized that John was onto her and saw her as a target, leading Vanessa to resort to targeting John and trying to slander him personally throughout the house.
* BeardOfSorrow: John started out as clean shaven, but over the course of the season, he began growing a beard or "chin strap". Interestingly enough, during the time that he has been growing his facial hair, he openly admitted that he had been feeling down and depressed because he had lost allies in the game.
* BefriendingTheEnemy: Although Vanessa had been his main enemy for the entire game, when he came back after his brief eviction in Week 9 and won the jury competition, John decided to "befriend" Vanessa and align with her, instead of staying enemies. Some fans argued that Vanessa aligning with John made her more likeable and easier to root for.
* BeingGoodSucks: John is one of the nicest and most genuine houseguests in the house, yet his fellow houseguests took him for granted by either constantly trying to use him for their own game strategy or constantly talking badly about him behind his back because of the constant paranoia surrounding him.
* BerserkButton: John does not like bullying or intimidating behaviour. In fact, when Vanessa resorted to intimidating and bullying him for information, John called Vanessa out on this to her face. It is clear that he doesn't tolerate yelling and bullying others under any circumstances, and it strongly bothers him.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: John is generally nice, polite and genuine, but he is not to be underestimated. During the season, he has shown that he is a huge threat, especially on a competitive and mental level. John has also said that although he has no personal issues with any of his fellow houseguests, he has no problem with having to resort to turning on people in the game in order to progress himself further.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: In his DR entries or on the show, John comes off very eccentric, funny and quirky, but on the feeds, he is the complete opposite and is actually very shy, quiet and introverted, even a loner. However, despite his calm, gentle and introverted nature, he has shown that competitively, he is a huge threat and that he should not be overlooked or underestimated by his fellow houseguests.
* BigBrotherInstinct[=/=]BigBrotherMentor: John has exhibited this towards Clay and Steve, seeming to show a protective side towards the both of them. In Week 6, John was so upset when Clay was nominated and, later, evicted that he even cried. John has also shown protectiveness towards Steve by looking out for him in regards to his behaviour in the house, and also showing concern for his wisdom tooth.
* BigDamnHeroes: John won the Power of Veto in Week 12 as the number of houseguest went down to the Final 5 and was the tie-creating vote against Austin which led to HOH Vanessa having to be the deciding vote to evict Austin. A lot of fans say that Austin's eviction was the best blindside of the season and thanked John for making it happen.
* BigGood: Considered to be TheHero, TheHeart, and the AllLovingHero of the season, as John is the kindest and most noble of the Season 17 houseguests. He was kind and good-hearted and was never mean to anyone during the game, and had shown to have a caring and gentle personality that made him so likeable. He could be considered the opposite of Vanessa, who is considered to be the BigBad.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Steve. Both are {{Adorkable}}, eccentric, quirky, nerdy and both are superfans of ''Big Brother'' (although nobody in the house, including Steve, knew about John's superfan status).
* BornLucky: John is constantly nominated and used as a pawn, yet he had shown that he is able to compete and win competitions when he has to.
* BreakoutCharacter: John is easily the most popular houseguest of the season and is generally well liked by the television and live feed viewers. Most of this reasoning has to do with John being very hilarious and funny in his DR sessions, as well as having the most genuine and down-to-earth personality in the house. It is pretty evident that John is the favorite to win the "America's Favorite Houseguest" prize at the end of the season.
* BreakTheCutie: From the beginning of the game, John was constantly used as a pawn by his fellow houseguests and was repeatedly nominated for eviction, mainly as a pawn to try and get out the in-power HOH's real target. On top of the fact that everybody seemed to use him for their own benefit and take him for granted, John also lost friends and allies he made during the competition left and right from week to week. It didn't help matters that Vanessa had basically bullied and intimidated him in front of the entire house to try and gain information from him, and made it her mission to slander John in the game by suggesting to other houseguests that he had a mood disorder, violent tendencies and possible mental instability, just because John had called Vanessa out on her behaviour and bullying tactics. All of this caused John to spiral into a depression in later weeks. Many of his fellow houseguests were also paranoid about him and believed that he is something that he was not, although John was unaware of the fact that his houseguests constantly talk about him behind his back and speculate about him.
* BrilliantButLazy: Arguable or YMMV. Although John showed that he is very strong/solid on a competitive level, and very clutch in competitions especially when he needed to be, a lot of fans have said that John is weak and useless in other aspects in the game. While he has shown to be very intelligent, he didn't seem to come off that way and seemed more like a dumb and clueless guy who didn't understand the game (although this most likely could have been his strategy to try and conceal his superfan status). Some have said that John has the capabilities and smarts to possibly be a strong strategic player if he wanted to, but never seemed to follow through. Others said that although John is very smart, he did not have a very strong social game and seemed to keep to himself instead of building alliances with other houseguests to ensure his safety. Some fans have even considered John to be a "floater" and believe that he didn't really do anything in terms of game or social strategy. It is clear that John is intelligent (he went to medical school, after all!), but didn't seem to use his smarts when he should have. Adding to this, John also tended to throw competitions when he really shouldn't have. However, it may seem as though he just didn't want to ruffle feathers or get blood on his hands.
* BrokenTears: John cried when Clay and Shelli were nominated in Week 6, and when Clay asked John to promise him to vote him out over Shelli. John also apparently cried again when James decided to not use the POV at the POV ceremony and both Clay and Shelli remained on the block together.
* BrokenPedestal: Constantly thought highly of Clay and Shelli and was extremely loyal to them to a fault, to the point of almost being a slave for them, yet they would sometimes throw him under the bus. There were times when they would even say that John is expendable to them, despite his loyalty. Clay and Shelli also seemed to have no problem with putting John on the block and asking him to throw competitions which would risk his safety in the game. Despite Clay and Shelli always using John and taking him for granted, John still loved them, was loyal to a fault to them and even cried when they were nominated and evicted. Some fans showed frustration with John when it came to his UndyingLoyalty to Clay and Shelli, stating that they don't understand why John would be so loyal to a pair that didn't really seem to have his back or his best interests at heart.
* BrutalHonesty: John is very honest and frank in expressing what he thinks, and had no problem spilling the truth tea. An example of this is when Vanessa had confronted John about their fight in Week 8, when he told Vanessa to her face that she was a bully and did not like her behaviour during their spat. John also had no problem with openly saying that if he won HOH, Vanessa would be his target.
* BunnyEarsLawyer:
** Despite his eccentricities, he proved to be a very intelligent and smart player, using his dental knowledge to nearly expose the twins and remembered a moving shapes exercise he had to take as part of his dentistry exam to dominate the third veto competition.
** Averted in real life, as according to his co-workers at home in his Week 8 hometown montage, John does act professionally in the office.
* ButtMonkey: John was nominated the most times out of the houseguests during season 17, repeatedly being used mainly as a pawn. Not to mention many of his fellow houseguests were very suspicious/paranoid about him, believing that he was something that he is not (such as America's Player, MVP, or that he was related to another houseguest). After John called her out while discussing their earlier confrontation, Vanessa decided to personally slander John to the other houseguests, suggesting that John might have a mood disorder or violent tendencies just because he had the guts to tell her he thought she was a bully. John also gets ostracized by other houseguests because he is also very introverted, a loner and doesn't really fit in with any of the alliances in the house.
* TheCassandra[=/=]CassandraTruth: According to a DR session, John had been onto Vanessa and her game from Week 2 on, having observed her patterns and behaviour in the game while nobody was paying attention. He made a note that anybody that Vanessa will start arguments with players she wanted to target, and tried to recruit other houseguests to have her selected target get evicted afterwards. As John stated, anybody that Vanessa yells at/fights with winds up being evicted. John tried to clue in the other houseguests (such as Clay, Shelli, Austin, Liz, Julia, etc.) about Vanessa's antics, but after John exposed Vanessa for doing this after arguing with her in Week 8, the entire house began targeting Vanessa, putting her on everybody's radar (although they were unsuccessful in getting her out).
* TheChewToy: He was constantly used as a pawn in the game, consistently being put on the block by other houseguests because he is an easy nominee. The houseguests in power also tried to get him to throw competitions, risking his safety in the process. There was also a lot of paranoia surrounding John; many of the houseguests felt that he was not who he said he is, and that he could possibly be a part of a twist.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He certainly came off as odd, and seemed lost in a lot of conversations. He is also loud, hilarious and zany in his DR sessions, which contributed to his popularity with the audience. However, outside of his DR sessions, he is actually very down-to-earth, calm, cool and collected and a lot of his reads on the game or the house can be somewhat accurate. It is clear that John's eccentricities and oddness could possibly have been part of his strategy to throw other houseguests off. According to his friends, family, co-workers and patients, John is actually very smart and is playing the game very dumb.
* CompetitionFreak: John has shown to be competitive and has won multiple competitions, primarily in POV comps.
* TheConfidant: For Steve. John exhibited a BigBrotherInstinct towards him and looked out for Steve as much as possible, even letting him know if he is behaving odd or annoying people.
* CoolLoser: Although very likable and funny, John didn't seem to really fit into any particular group or alliance in the house, seemingly playing the game solo more than anything else and coming off as a loner and outsider. John even admitted that he was a nerd and loner in high school, only having a couple of friends that he usually hung out with.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: John comes off as quirky and eccentric, but he is a lot smarter than he let others believe. He was also very strong competitively and mentally, yet nobody really saw him as a huge threat that needed to be removed from the game. Some of the houseguests even suggested earlier on that targeting or evicting John would be a waste of an HOH, illustrating how underestimated he really was in the game.
* TheCutie: John is known to be very lovable and endearing, with a shy and introverted nature. He is also incredibly nice, kind and genuine. Hence why he was so popular with the audience as well as with many of the female fans, who go crazy over him.
* DeadpanSnarker: John is by far one of the funniest and most humorous houseguests of the season. In his DR sessions, he was known for being loud, hilarious, and zany. In the house, he was a lot quieter but he still exhibited a dry sense of humour, great comedic timing, and very witty and humorous with a one-liner always on the ready.
* DeathGlare: John supposedly gave one to Austin, much to his confusion, while Austin went to give him a hug following the Week 8 nomination ceremony.
* TheDeterminator: Despite constantly being used as a pawn in eviction nomination, John managed to survive in the game (except for his Week 9 and Week 12 evictions) by winning competitions when he had to.
* DeterminedDefeatist: Faced the most adversity in the game, yet he still fought as hard as he could despite all the odds placed against him. He was never included in any major alliances in the house, yet he always tried to save himself somehow despite not having the best social game and being the outsider. Even when he was evicted the first time and came back into the game, he managed to fight as hard as he could, acknowledging that he knew he had to win all the competitions for the rest of the game in order for him to reach the end.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Sort of, when it came to Becky. John had a crush on her, but Becky only saw him as an ally and friend. John did acknowledge that nothing romantic was going to happen between them though.
* EnemiesEqualsGreatness: John's main enemies in the game, Vanessa and Austin, had targeted him for different reasons. Vanessa targeted John because she saw him as a huge threat to her game, was intelligent and could not read him to figure out his gameplay plan. Austin targeted John because of his likeability and popularity. Vanessa's reasons for wanting John out were based on gameplay, while Austin's were purely personal and out of jealousy.
* EnemyMine: Forms an alliance of sorts with Vanessa of all people upon returning to the house. It didn't last that long considering that Vanessa nominated and targeted him during the Week 11 Double Eviction and evicted him over Liz to put her in the Final 4.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When Vanessa had won the final 4 Power of Veto, John came to the conclusion that he was the one that was going to be evicted by Vanessa's hand. During his eviction speech John even quoted ''Halo'' saying "If you expect me to beg..... You're going to be disappointed." John was a GracefulLoser and accepted his fate. He was also not bitter about losing and even said that Vanessa and Steve deserve to be at the end.
* TheFettered: Out of all of the houseguests, John is actually playing the game with the most honesty and integrity. He doesn't seem to be into lying and backstabbing as some of the other houseguests are and he for the most part, has proven to be a very loyal individual. John has also shown that he is the nicest of the group, having never trashtalked any of his fellow houseguests or put them down on a personal level.
* FourIsDeath: He was evicted at final 4 after his ArchEnemy Vanessa cast the sole vote to evict him.
* GeekPhysique: Of the skinny type. However, John has been seen to be building more muscle due to lifting a lot of weights in the house. He also realizes and acknowledges that he will never be the overly athletic, muscular or buff guy that Austin is no matter how many weights he lifts.
* GeniusBruiser: He's intelligent (although he doesn't show it), a BadassBookworm and a GuileHero but he's also a good competitor and an ActionHero.
* TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin: SubvertedTrope. John was evicted over Liz (another villain) by the BigBad and his ArchEnemy Vanessa at the final 4. She was the sole vote to evict him.
* GoodIsNotDumb: John is genuine and nice, but he is also a very intelligent guy. He tends to hide his intelligence though as he chooses to play the clueless and dumb strategy to throw his fellow houseguests off.
* GoodIsNotNice: He's a nice guy but he's not to messed with. Since re entering the game, John has become more ruthless, basically saying that he "hates" everyone in the house because they all evicted him. He has also said he is willing to break deals with other people if he has to and make enemies. Although John is very personable and likeable, he has made it evident that he is in it to win it despite playing the dumb or floater strategy all game.
* GracefulLoser: John took his second eviction very well. He was not bitter at all and even admitted that he thinks Vanessa and Steve deserve to be in the finals. Interestingly enough, he was also not bitter during his first eviction either.
* GuileHero: John has proven that although he does not show it, he can very smart, intelligent and strategic when he needs to be. In Week 6 (hours before the eviction ceremony), John decides to play head games by telling Clay that James told him Vanessa was trying to convince Shelli to target him the following week. He ends up admitting he made the whole thing up, but not before his interesting but questionable move – a strategy done to try and aim the target toward Vanessa – nearly causes Clay and James to come to blows (which would have caused Clay to be thrown out of the game) when Vanessa informs James of what Clay told him.
* HasAType: John has openly said that he is drawn to or attracted to taller women, which is one of the reasons why he is so drawn to Becky, the tallest girl in the house. John also said that his crush among all of the ''Big Brother'' female houseguests is Amber Borzotra (from ''Big Brother 16''), who is a model and a StatuesqueStunner at 5'10".
* TheHeart: Probably the kindest and nicest houseguest of the season by far. John is genuine, nice and down to earth and has never made mean comments about any of his fellow houseguests.
* TheHero: Of the season. He's the kindest houseguest of the season by far. He was honest, loyal, good hearted and loved by the viewers very much like Donny last year. Because of this, it is highly probable that he will win the Americas Fave Houseguest prize at the end of the season.
* HeCleansUpNicely: John is normally very casual and laid back when it comes to his attire but when he fixes himself up, actually dresses up and wears nicer clothing, he is actually very handsome.
* TheHeroDies: Considered to be "TheHero" of the season by many, but was evicted by a unanimous 5-0 vote. He came back the same night though thanks to being the last Jury Member standing. He is evicted again for a second time after Vanessa casts the sole vote to evict him at final 4.
* HiddenBadass: Would anybody who takes a first glance at John even think or believe that he would turn out to be one of the strongest male competitors of the season? So far, John has actually out competed the majority of the other men in the game, such as Austin, Clay, Jace,etc. The only other male houseguest who comes close to being as competitive as him is James, although Steve is also catching up. John is also strongly underestimated by the other houseguests and they seem to think that he is a floater who is useless and doesn't understand the concepts of the game. What the houseguests don't know is that John is actually a super fan of the game but he has deliberately chosen to hide this piece of information from the other houseguests as strategy.
* HiddenDepths: Aside from being book smart and being a dentist for his occupation, he is actually a very talented and brilliant musician.
* HollywoodNerd: John is very nerdy but he is a very cute and hot nerd. When John actually dresses up, he is very handsome. He could even be considered MrFanservice because so many female fans go crazy over him.
* HonorBeforeReason: Although John is playing a game that requires one to resort to backstabbing, deceiving and lying, John seems to have not chosen to sacrifice his morals and his integrity in the game. Unlike the other houseguests, he is the most noble and has shown that he is rather loyal to those he has sworn his allegiance to. He has also shown that he does not break his word and is also willing to take one for the team (like volunteering to be nominated in the place of someone else).
* HopeSpringsEternal: Even though Vanessa had won Head of Household at final 5 and was targeting John in hopes of having him evicted for good, all hope was not lost for John as he won his fourth Power of Veto of the season securing his place in the final 4. Unfortunately the hope was lost for John when Vanesssa won final 4 Power of Veto and ended up being the sole vote to evict John.
* HospitalHottie: Averted. John is actually a dentist and he does not work in a hospital. But he could technically still qualify as this, as he is still a doctor and he did attend dental school. According to his patients and his co workers, he is often referred to as "Dr. [=McGuire=]" or "Dr. Mac". Let's not forgot that John is pretty cute, young and hip for a dentist. John even jokes that some of patients questions whether he will know what he is doing as their dentist because he is so young.
* HyperAwareness: Was able to pin down the specific tooth where Julia's fake crown was located as speculation continued surrounding Liz being a twin, and used his memory of moving shapes (which he noted he had to do as part of a Perceptual Ability Test in order to get admitted into dental school) to navigate his dice to the finish line in the Week 3 POV competition.
* InnocentBlueEyes: One of John's most notable physical traits are his clear blue eyes. Many female fans comment on how beautiful his eyes are.
* TheLastDJ: He was the last player in the final 5 and final 4 who played with the most honesty, loyalty and integrity (other than Steve). He had been Vanessa's opposition for the majority of the game and was not as closely aligned with her the way that Austin, Steve, Liz were. John was basically the odd man out and was evicted by Vanessa because of it. John was the underdog of the season and faced the most adversity.
* LimitedWardrobe: John doesn't seem to have a large variety of different clothing that he wears. He is commonly seen wearing his signature "Penn State" hoodie or shirt. He is also often seen lounging around in his pyjamas from time to time.
* MagneticHero: Averted InUniverse. In the house, John doesn't seem to have many allies or friends in the game and the allies and friends that he did have were all evicted. Part of this is because John is very introverted and a loner in personality. Therefore, he has some problems with forming alliances and building relationships. However, outside of the game, John is greatly loved by the ''Big Brother'' viewers and audience and he is a clear favorite to win the "America's Favorite Houseguest" prize shall he not make it to the end.
* MrFanservice: John is very popular with the female viewing population. It could be because he is very likeable in personality (very down to earth, kind, genuine, sweet), because he is very funny and witty (his DR sessions are known to be hilarious and zany) or because he is an adorable and loveable nerd that is also the underdog in the game. Other female fans just think that he is cute and physically appealing. There are some fans who say that they even find John's voice and his laugh very sexy.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: John is not very muscular or athletically built like Austin (who is a jock and a wrestler) and Clay (who is an athlete and a football player) but he is a very strong competitor and has won multiple competitions. He has outcompeted the athletic guys like Austin and Clay and is the strongest male competitor alongside James.
* NiceGuy: John is really likeable and loveable. He is most definitely the nicest male houseguest of the season, and has never said anything problematic about anyone. He also does not resort to personally bashing any of his fellow houseguests (though he does state how he feels about some of them, like Vanessa), and has shown that he is a very genuine and down-to-earth guy.
* NoIndoorVoice: In the DR, John is seen to be rather loud. Some fans even say that he is yelling or shouting during his DR sessions. However, it is subverted in the house. John is the opposite of loud in the house or when he is out of the DR. In fact, he's TheQuietOne and very much a calm and introverted person who does not speak or talk all that much. He is also much quieter and talks way more normal while he is in the house.
* NoSocialSkills: Going by his personality, John is a big time introvert and he is rather quiet. He doesn't engage in much conversation with the other houseguests and he could even be considered as a loner. Some of the houseguests have commented on John saying that he is even somewhat socially awkward and doesn't seem to fit in. John himself has said he is an introvert and that engaging in conversations with people is rather draining for him. It could be argued that the weakest aspect of John's game is his social game due to his introverted personality.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: John plays the clueless and dumb strategy but he's a lot smarter than he lets others believe. He is also a big fan of Big Brother but has chosen to hide this fact from the other houseguests. John knows that houseguests that are open super fans end up being targeted and evicted earlier and easier.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The reason why he's a dentist.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He's pretty much referred to by his fellow houseguests only as "Johnny Mac" by Week 3.
* ThePawn: John begrudgingly ended up this from Week 1, being asked to throw the Battle of the Block competitions to get the real target out of the house. By Week 3, it's obvious he's not too happy about being asked to risk his own game for the good of the [=HOHs=]. The funny thing is (as Lampshaded by him), some of the houseguests John's been put up alongside so far (namely Da'Vonne and James) have done poorly enough in certain Battle of the Block and Power of Veto comps that they unknowingly do the job of throwing them for him. Naturally, he was overjoyed when he wasn't put up as a pawn in Week 5, even wondering what he's going to do in the house since he doesn't have to do any comp throwing.
* SecretIdentity: Some of the houseguests wondered whether John even really was a dentist, because he doesn't give off the "dentist vibe".
* ShipTease: With Becky.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: While he's not that short, he's definitely considered one of the most intelligent houseguests especially by Vanessa, who's wanted him out since the beginning.
* ShrinkingViolet: He is very shy and introverted and doesn't engage in a lot of conversation wit others easily. He is definitely TheQuietOne of the bunch.
* [[TokenGoodTeammate Token Good Houseguest]]: With the exception of Steve, who is beloved by his hometown, John is the only non polarizing houseguest in the final 5. When you compare John to the likes of Austin, Liz and Vanessa, it's understandable why the majority of the viewers are rooting for him to win over the others.
* {{Troperrific}}: Compare John's sheet with the other houseguests, he has almost as much as the [=BB15=] and [=BB16=] cast.

->'''HOH Evicted Under:''' VANESSA (in Week 12)
->'''Voted For (In Jury):''' LIZ

* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Austin was the 13th houseguest to be evicted. Before he was evicted, he was completely blindsided when he thought that he was staying in the game against Steve on the block. Unfortunately for him, the vote went to a tie after John voted to evict Austin and Liz voted to evict Steve. Vanessa was the tie breaker vote that ended up sending Austin out the door, completely blindsiding everyone especially Austin and Liz. In fact, Austin was so blindsided by his own eviction, that he forgot to wear shoes and walked out of the house on stage completely bare foot. The guy clearly didn't see his eviction coming at all. Was Austin seriously so delusional about trusting Vanessa or was he just completely oblivious to the fact that he was the number one target at the time?
* '''ZeroPercentApprovalRating''': Played Straight and '''how!''' Austin isis strongly disliked/hated/despised/loathed by a large portion of the Big Brother fans and audience along with Liz and Vanessa. The reason why he's so disliked is because he is incredibly cold-blooded and ruthless to a fault (while Liz and Vanessa are hot-blooded versions of ruthless, respectively), but his worst offense is being [[YourCheatingHeart a stone-cold cheater]] on his girlfriend back home. Not to mention that Austin has an extremely unlikeable personality. He's rude, controlling, misogynistic, overly emotional, and a bit aggressive and he very much has a belligerent personality when he doesn't get his way. Fans also find him extremely weird and creepy because he has {{Yandere}} and StalkerWithACrush tendencies for Liz. The audience often complained that they hated his CrazyJealousGuy antics regarding Liz and that he acted like a complete love struck fool for her when she wasn't even into him and he didn't even know her too well to begin with. Others complained about Austin caring only about having a romantic relationship with Liz instead of caring about actually playing the game and winning. It didn't help that Austin was completely unhygienic and nasty in regards to his personal hygiene and he was very much ThePigPen who didn't shower that much or didn't even wash his hands after he used the bathroom (Eww, GROSS!). Austin was also in cahoots with Vanessa, another houseguest who was extremely low on the popularity scale. Because of his unpopularity, he as frequently found at the bottom of all the Big Brother popularity polls and rankings such as Jokers Updates Ratings or Big Brother Daily Popularity Poll. It's the opposite of John, who has a HundredPercentAdorationRating, incredibly wacky, loyal to a fault, and is loved by the audience.
* '''AbhorrentAdmirer''': And how! He develops a borderline obsessive crush on Liz, despite that Liz is repulsed by Austin and only hasn't rejected him because she feels it would be bad for her game. Austin's only goal in the game by this point seems to be getting to the jury house so he can be with her, and this desire and his revelation of it [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom ultimately]] [[EpicFail undermined]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his]] [[NiceJobFixingItVillain alliance's]] [[TooDumbToLive entire]] [[BackstabBackfire game,]] in more ways that one. Eventually subverted, as Liz admits in a DR entry (seen in Episode 22) that Austin has begun to grow on her.
* AggressiveSubmissive: Austin is very persistant and determined when he wants to be with someone romantically, such as with his infatuation (more like obsession) with Liz for example, but is also a huge romantic. He even comes off as very cheesy in how he approaches love and romance.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Could be seen as averted as of later in the game when it comes to his romantic feelings for Liz. In the beginning, Liz openly admitted that she did have any sort of romantic attraction to Austin. Liz had said that she did not find Austin physically attractive or someone who was her “type”; she did note that she liked his personality and saw him as “just a friend”. It is later subverted when Liz eventually admits to liking Austin romantically. Whether Liz is telling the truth and she actually really does like him romantically or if she is lying and just using Austin for strategic reasons in the game is not identifiable or known. Liz even accepts Austin’s “proposal” to be his official girlfriend (even though he still technically has a girlfriend back home).
* ArchEnemy:
** John, although the rivalry is pretty much one sided. For whatever strange reason, Austin has had a personal vendetta against John. He has disliked him on a personal level for the majority of the game. One could assume that Austin strongly dislikes John because he is jealous of John’s likeability and popularity. He showed extreme bitterness when he had heard John receiving loud cheers and applause from the audience when he was evicted; making it obvious that John was the fan favorite. The fact that Austin was the guy who was responsible for John being evicted probably fueled his hatred and jealousy towards John. John doesn’t seem to be a huge fan of Austin either, but he still manages to be polite and cordial towards him as much as possible and has never trash talked Austin behind his back. Something that Austin clearly cannot do when it comes to John.
** Vanessa. She became an enemy for him later on in the game. Interestingly enough, Austin was one of Vanessa's allies and the two had even made a Final 2 deal. They had a lot of trust in one another and they also had a good friendship. Unfortunately for Austin, Vanessa called him out on his lying and not being truthful to her, which caused Austin to have a growing resentment towards Vanessa. Austin's distrust and dislike of Vanessa became stronger when he realized that she was the one who was responsible for Steve putting Austin and Liz on the block during Week 11. He finally realized that Vanessa was dishonest and did not have his back, so he turned on her and threw his loyalty behind Liz and Julia 100%. Austin's hatred towards Vanessa increased even more in Week 12, then Vanessa, who was the [=HOH=] that week, back doored Austin after John won the [=POV=]. To make matters worse, Vanessa was the tie-breaking vote that evicted him. Austin was completely angered at Vanessa for being responsible for his eviction and he even proclaimed that Vanessa will not win the game, because she is such a dirty player. When Vanessa was finally evicted at Final 3, he was very happy and elated to see that Vanessa did not make the Final 2.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Well, Austin is a wrestler for a living and he’s also arrogant, going by his personality. Judas, anyone?
* BadassBeard: Sports an obvious, interesting .....and noticeable one. It’s often called the “ponytail beard”.
* BadassBoast: Comes off as intimidating at times and has shown to be a bit arrogant and too much of a braggart. He thinks he runs the show, but he really doesn’t (that’s Vanessa by the way).
* BadassBookworm: Austin is highly educated and has a Masters degree in Literature. Also, he comes off as very intellectual and smart in conversations with others. Game wise, he’s also one of the smartest players in the game overall.
* BaitTheDog: Austin appeared to be a pre-season favorite for many of the fans. Turns out, their first impression of him was so wrong, as he turned out to be a very intolerable person. He’s so disliked that he is one of the least popular houseguests of the season (along with Liz and Vanessa). Almost on Frankie Grande levels of unlikeability.
* BarbarianLonghair: Austin’s hair is...interesting. His hair is very unruly and wild. Austin tries to straighten his hair so it can have a flatter and smoother appearance. Unfortunately for him, his hair still looks a mess, even after the straightening. Some fans even comment that Austin looks dirty and unhygenic because of his hair.
* BashBrothers: Quickly develops a bond with Jace after they first meet. Also with Steve and John to some extent, though John was more strategy.
* BeardOfBarbarism: Along with having a BadassBeard and a BeardOfEvil, his beard definitely gives him a very unkempt and unruly appearance. It seems to match his personality which is often aggressive and belligerent.
* BeardOfEvil: Austin was TheDragon for Vanessa and he was closely aligned with her and working for her for the majority of the game. Which means that he was working for the bad side of the house. He's also a JerkJock who had a very nasty, mean and aggressive personality which made him rather unlikeable so his barbaric beard is very fitting of his personality type.
* BigBad: Although Vanessa has been the major antagonist, Austin is the constant threat.
* BigBrotherBully: Downplayed. Austin does have a big brother type relationship with Steve, but sometimes when he gets irritated with him, he becomes a bit of a bully towards him. He has frequently referred to Steve as "the boy" instead of his actual name indicating that Austin sees himself as superior to Steven and that he has more power than him. For example, the week that Steve won HOH and nominated both Austin and Liz, Austin was visibly angry with him and during his DR session, he referred to Steve as "the boy" and then went on to say that Steve should be scared of him because his mommy isn't there to protect him from his wrath.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Has this towards Steve in spades. He has displayed protective behaviour towards Steve and looks out for him. Also showed it towards Jace as well.
* TheBigGuy: Austin is the tallest male houseguest of the season. He is 6'5".
* BoisterousBruiser: He’s somewhat cocky, arrogant and a little bit on thre brash side at times. Comes with being a wrestler.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Austin is a big guy who works as a pro wrestler, but he is also a hardcore romantic.
* TheBrute: Austin is TheBigGuy as he's the tallest male of the season. He's also TheDragon to Vanessa.
* CallBack: Made a variation of [[Characters/BigBrother12 Rachel Reilly]]'s catchphrase as part of his goodbye video to Jeff.
* CasanovaWannabe: Tries to pretend that he is Liz’s KnightInShiningArmour and a romantic, but he really just comes off as an obsessive creep. Caleb anyone?
* TheChampion: For Liz, of course. Austin even foolishly stated that he didn’t care about winning the game and that he only cared about his romance with Liz. Austin went so far as to tell Vanessa that he just wanted to make it to jury with Liz; he didn’t care whether or not he won the money.
* CloudCuckoolander: Not as much as John, but he has made some... questionable game decisions, a few being smart (like voting for John instead of Audrey to confuse the house) but most of his game actions are downright ''weird'' like telling Jason (the biggest gossip in the house) that not only does he have a crush on Liz, but also that Liz's twin is named Julia. That, plus the fact that he said that he would target Julia once she entered the game so he and Liz make it as far as the jury house to be with her if both should be evicted, led Vanessa to briefly target him for eviction in Week 5 before ultimately choosing to blindside Jason instead when Austin pleaded to stay. This move revealed the divisions in the house, and although the Sixth Sense remained intact for that week, Austin's loose lips made it a hollow victory when James, who was allied with Jason, won the next [=HoH=], which was the first solo [=HoH=] of the game (meaning no chance of getting dethroned), and nominated Clay and Shelli, who had convinced Vanessa to keep Austin, leading Sixth Sense to lose Clay instead of Austin the next week and then Shelli the week after. Austin's speech at the eviction nomination ceremony, when he becomes [=HOH=] for the first time in Week 9, manages to confuse some of the houseguests:
-->'''Austin''': "I'm conflicted. As a human being, I've always been conflicted. I think that life is meaningless and important at the same time. It is meaningless because we're all going to die. But it's important because we're living, we can love and we can quest for knowledge – because knowledge is power, right?. Well, unfortunately, those in power say what knowledge is, especially here. In Week 5, I was supposed to be eliminated from the game. My fate was ''sealed'', and if it wasn't for her (points to Liz) winning a competition all by herself, I wouldn't be here and have no decisions to make. So now, I'm not thinking just for myself, I'm thinking about her [Liz], too. And, I'm in an impossible situation this week. Johnny Mac and Steve, you were not apart of what happened to me that week. So, why are you guys on the block? You're victims just like I am. But unfortunately in life, victims aren't we all? That's all I have to say."
-->'''James''' (in a DR entry): "Austin, I think being in the house for 60-something days, I think you've finally have lost your mind, man. I think that's the craziest nomination speech I've ever heard. I think you need to go to the puzzle factory, man."
* CoDragons: Austin is this along with Julia, Liz, Steve, Shelli and Clay. All of them worked for Vanessa and they could be seen as being Vanessa's minions in the game as they practically did everything for Vanessa. Each of them had strengths in the game that would benefit Vanessa: Austin was good at the social aspect and strategy, Julia and Clay were good socially, Shelli and Steve were good at winning competitions and strategy, and Liz was good at winning competitions. Most of them, especially Austin, eventually turned on Vanessa and lost trust with her. It should be noted that Austin, along with Shelli, had been aligned with Vanessa the longest and had the strongest loyalty to her.
* ControlFreak: Has a very controlling and aggressive personality, especially when it comes to Liz and his relationship with her.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Austin has shown that he is a strongly jealous person. Any guy who so much as flirts with Liz or looks at her will suffer Austin’s wrath. Jeff flirting with Liz was an example; Austin didn’t take it to well and advocated for Jeff to leave the house.
* CreepyMonotone: Austin's voice is ''incredibly'' stiff and cold, making him sound unfeeling.
* DeadpanSnarker: Can be very sarcastic and snarky. Especially when he is irritated or upset. He doesn’t have the humour and wit that John, James and Jason possess though.
* DelusionsOfGrandeur: Austin seriously believes that he is loved by the audience and the viewers. He thinks that the fans love him and would stop watching if he ever shall be evicted. What he doesn’t realize is that he is one of the least liked, if not the most hated, houseguests of the season. His delusional, arrogant personality rivals that of Frankie Grande (Big Brother 16), Caleb Reynolds (Big Brother 16) and Jessie Godderz (Big Brother 10[=/=]Big Brother 11).
* DemotedToDragon: It was thought that Austin would be the main BigBad of the season, but in reality, he was being controlled and manipulated by Vanessa for the majority of the game.
* DesperatelyCravesAffection: How about “Desperately Craves Liz Nolan’s Affection”? Austin has shown obsessive and even stalkerish tendencies towards Liz, even though in the beginning, she clearly was not into him romantically.
* DevourTheDragon: Vanessa had been plotting Austin, Liz and Julia's demise for weeks. Vanessa admitted earlier n that she let trust in Austin because he had lied to her and during that time, she was contemplating back dooring and evicting Austin. However, she backed out f it after talking t Austin and she instead back doored Jason. However, during Week 12, Vanessa backdoors Austin after John wins the Power of Veto. On top of it, she evicts him by her own hand when the vote goes to a tie. Austin is very shocked and angry at Vanessa, even proclaiming to her face that she will not win the game because of what she has done. Vanessa had evicted Austin because she felt that he was disloyal to her, had lied to her too many times and was a huge threat to her in terms of getting to the end.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Deconstructed. He seems indifferent to shoes, and because of that, Austin famously left the ''Big Brother'' house while barefooted when Vanessa went and blindsided him, because he was so sure he would not be leaving that night that he didn't bother to put them on. And he showed up to the Jury House ''still'' barefoot (probably playing it up for the cameras), proclaiming that "barefoot or not", he was still Judas, and "Judas got Judas'd." BreakTheHaughty at its finest, folks.
* TheDragon: For Vanessa for the majority of the game. Austin was Vanessa's closest ally from the beginning. The two had even made a Final 2 deal. They were both a part of the "Sixth Sense" alliance. Austin would often he the one to confide in Vanessa regarding the game and would always give Vanessa information about the other houseguests. However, their relationship started to deteriorate and the two eventually lost a lot of trust in each other.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: There have been numerous cases where Austin has wanted to backstab or turn on Vanessa in the game. Austin had way more loyalty to Julia and Liz than he did to Vanessa in the long run because it turns out that Austin was never going to take Vanessa to the Final 2 as they had originally planned at the beginning of the game. It was apparent that Vanessa had planned to take his girlfriend Liz to the Final 2.
* TheHeavy: Although Vanessa was the BigBad who was running the entire game and manipulating everyone, Austin was seen as the major villain of the season. It was thought that Austin was the most dangerous player in the game who had the best shot at winning, but Vanessa was the one running things the entire time. Most thought that Austin was the main villain because of his unlikeable personality.
* FailedASpotCheck: It took Austin (who later Lampshades this fact in Week 9) a little longer than the other houseguests to figure out that Liz and Julia were two people when they were playing as one.
* FoodFight: Austin started one in Week 4, when Liz criticized how chicken he made tastes. In the Week 13 season recap episode, Liz describes this as her and Austin's worst argument.
* GentleGiant: Subverted. He seems nice at first but he won't hesitate to talk trash about other houseguests and call people out on lies. He's more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold here.
* TheHeavy: Although Vanessa was the BigBad who was running the entire game and manipulating everyone, Austin was seen as the major villain of the season. It was thought that Austin was the most dangerous player in the game who had the best shot at winning, but Vanessa was the one running things the entire time. Most thought that Austin was the main villain because of his unlikeable personality.
* {{Heel}}: Plays this as a pro-Wrestler under the stage name Judas, a name he has even voted under on occasions when he served as a dissenting eviction vote.
* HiddenDepths: Has a Master's Degree in Medieval romance literature.
* HollywoodCalifornia: Austin originally hails from the state of California and comes from a city called Woodland Hills.
* [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne I Take Offense To That One]]:
** In a DR entry, Austin notes his irritation that his ''Austin the Barbarian'' cover in the Week 7 "BB Comics" POV features the caption, "if his muscles don't get you... his odor will", pointing out that somebody (especially Liz, with whom he's shared a bed with) would have said something if he did have BO.
** His alleged B.O. (body odor) problem is brought up again when zinged by Zingbot 8000 in Week 9.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Although Vanessa is John's main ArchEnemy, Austin is also another enemy of John's. Austin is TheDragon to Vanessa, who is the actual BigBad as Vanessa is the one who is controlling the game and Austin is merely a minion or follower of Vanessa. The major reason why Austin and John are enemies is mostly personal but it is also game related as well. Austin strongly dislikes John because he is jealous of John's popularity outside of the house. It was his major motivation for having John nominated and evicted. Vanessa, on the other hand, wanted John out because she felt that John was a big threat to her game and the two also did like get along well on a personal level due to their different game strategies. Interestingy enough, much of Austin and John's rivalry in the game was one sided, as it was Austin would felt an IrrationalHatred towards John before John even saw Austin as trouble. John later saw Austin as an enemy after he nominated him and his ally Steve next to each other and then had him evicted.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Austin may look tough and intimidating, but in a way, he is this. Some of his favorite activities include gymnastics, cheerleading, yoga and pilates. He even has his nails painted in some episodes.
* {{Jerkass}}: Austin isn definitely not the nicest and most pleasant person. He can be very mean, aggressive and very much TheBully when he doesn't get his way. He's also pretty belligerent when he's irritated, angry or annoyed as well. He's not called Judas for nothing.
* JerkJock: Austin is athletic as he's a wrestler but he has an incredibly unpleasant personality. He is definitely very much TheBully and he mistreats the other houseguests when he doesn't get his way. He's also incredibly controlling towards Liz and he uses his athleticism to intimidate others.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Yeah he and the twins are big gossips and occasionally talk trash about other houseguests particularly John (and Steve in the begining with Jace) and he can be brash and arrogant, but he genuinely loves his alliance, feels hurt when he's lied to, and loves Liz enough to be willing to break up with his girlfriend even going as far as to keep Julia even though it was against his plan. He even made up with Steve despite Steve very clearly wanting both Liz and him out.
* LooksLikeJesus: Described as this by Julia in Week 10... although there aren't many depictions of the Holy Ghost with multiple tattoos.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Decides to [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter reveal to Jason]] that his endgame is to get Julia out of the House, so that he can be with Liz. It didn't take long for Jason to reveal this to members of Austin's alliance, which enraged them and prompted a plan to backdoor Austin. Vanessa bailed out of this plan at the Veto meeting, however, and backdoored Jason, whose loose lips got him evicted instead, while Austin barely survived the week. The backdooring of Jason exposed Austin's alliance however, which lost a member anyway when someone against the Sixth Sense, James, won [=HoH=] and nominated Clay and Shelli, who had masterminded the alternate eviction plan. Clay was evicted as a result, reducing the Sixth Sense down to five and then four members when Shelli also bit the dust; they subsequently became the Scamper Squad after rebounding on Double Eviction night.
* LoveTriangle: By Week 3, Austin had developed feelings for Liz. He got jealous after seeing Liz with Jeff in bed... no, not in that way... flirting with each other.
* NiceHat: Often seen wearing a hat of some kind, including a top hat of all things.
* OutnumberedSibling: Austin is the oldest of five children and all of his younger siblings are female.
* ThePigPen: Austin has very questionable hygiene. He is not seen taking showers very often and his hair looks very unkempt and dirty. He doesn’t even seem to wash hi hsands properly after using the bathroom. Big Brother had to call Austin out on washing his hands effectively. Even production knows about Austin’s bad hygiene. It’s taken UpToEleven during the week of Zingbot Power of Veto competition (Week 9) when Zingbot makes a zing or comment about how bad Austin’s body odor is. Even during the Comic Book Power of Veto competition (Week 7), Austin’s comic had made an implication that Austin had bad hygiene and body odor.
* '''SoreLoser''': Did NOT take his unexpected blindside and eviction very well. Especially with Vanessa casting the tibreaking and deciding vote to send him out the door. Austin was so bitter that he said to Vanessa on the way out that she wasn't going to get any votes in jury because of how much she has blindsided and backstabbed people. In his Exit Interview with Julie Chen, he stated that he harbours bitter feelings towards Vanessa because she was someone that he had always had a significant amount of trust in and she completely shattered it by blindsiding him and backstabbing him.
* StalkerWithACrush: From the very start, Austin was very obsessive towards Liz, even without knowing that much about her. Liz found Austin and his behavior towards her very creepy and strange. She even stated that she didn't like Austin at first because he came across as a weird stalker.
* TimeForPlanB: Much to Vanessa's dismay, Austin opts to throw the Week 3 POV competition at the last minute (allowing John to win the POV and take himself off the block), in an effort to enact his plan to get Jeff out.
* TookALevelInJerkass: And how! If you watch him on the live feeds he spends plenty of time trash talking other houseguests but especially John and Vanessa. This was only temporary though as he is shown feeling bad about Meg and James being evicted and genuinely liked them.
* TookALevelInKindness: He was originally a JerkJock who bullied Steve in the beginning with Jace but he started to like the guy.
* [[UglyGuyHotWife Ugly Guy, Hot Girl]]: Liz is the Hot Girl and Austin is the Ugly Guy. Liz is a MsFanservice who is physically attractive and looks like a model while Austin looks like an overgrown and unkempt bum who looks like he does not have good or proper hygiene. Many of the fans are constantly questioning Liz and Austin's relationship and how Liz could even think of being interested in Austin on a romantic level. Other fans are downright repulsed when Liz and Austin even kiss one another because they seem to be so mismatched. Interestingly, Liz was not romantically interested in Austin and she only saw Austin as a friend. However, she later stated in a DR session that although Austin is not physically her type and she is not physically attracted to him, she says that she loves his personality.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His gossiping to [[GossipyHens Jason]] about the twins began the dominoes falling to Sixth Sense losing their advantage in the game.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Even most of his interactions with Jace are like this... though Jace doesn't wear a shirt that often either.
* {{Yandere}}: For Liz. His obsession with her is downright weird and creepy. He spent the majority of the game obsessing over getting into a showmance with Liz instead of focusing on winning the half a million dollar prize. Even Liz was turned off by his obsession with her and at first, was hesitant to even get into a showmance with him because of his creepily obsessive behavior towards her.
* YeahShot: Does it when James chooses him to host the Week 1 Veto.
* YourCheatingHeart: Cheats on his girlfriend back home with Liz. This fact is fair game for Zingbot in Week 9, which puts a bit of a crimp on Liz and Austin's relationship once Liz (who already knew Austin had a girlfriend back home becomes a little conflicted about being TheOtherWoman):
-->'''Zingbot:''' Liz, you've become such an important part of Austin's life. Are you more excited to meet his mom, his dad or his girlfriend?
-->'''Austin''' (in a DR entry): Really?

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: On the outside. However, one of the key differences about her that Da'Vonne and Jason noticed when comparing Julia to Liz upon realizing she might be a twin was the fact that Julia is slightly thinner (though not as much as Jason exaggerated it to be with how he described Liz's fuller-ish figure).
* AlwaysSecondBest[=/=]AlwaysSomeoneBetter: This is how Julia has felt compared to Liz. Even Liz had mentioned that Julia has always gotten “the short end of the stick in life”. Going by an [=HOH=] letter that Liz received, it was obvious that their mother seems to favour Liz more than Julia. In the game, Liz is also a stronger competitor, while Julia has shown to be TheLoad and pretty much useless in the game. Even the Zingbot went as far as to call Julia stupid and ugly in comparison to Liz. ‘’Ouch’’.
* BareYourMidriff: Like her sister Liz, she often wears tops that show off her midriff or her stomach. She is a MsFanservice after all.
* BetaBitch:
** To Liz’s AlphaBitch. While Liz is much cattier and mean spirited than Julia, Julia still engages in plenty of trash talk with her sister about the other houseguests. Julia is a mean girl but she is only slighty nicer than Liz, as even Julia commented tted that Liz is the bitchier twin. Makes sense that Julia is Liz’s NumberTwo and has UndyingLoyalty towards her, considering that she is Liz’s twin sister.
** Even though Julia serves as a one to Liz, Julia is actually considered to be one for Vanessa, who is the villain or BigBad. She worked for Vanessa for a majority of the game and was in alliance with her. Julia often follows whatever Vanessa says or wants out of loyalty to her. Despite Julia's loyalty to Vanessa, it is obvious that her strongest loyalty is to her sister Liz. Since Vanessa, Liz and Julia were all an alliance, they could be considered a GirlPosse.
* '''BigSisterInstinct''': ''And how!'' Julia is the older twin between herself and Liz. Julia is protective of Liz (and vice versa), and secretly questioned Austin's motives with her younger twin sister. Although, once she was evicted, she noted that it might be possible that Liz and Austin would last as a couple outside the house, though doesn't hedge her bets that Austin will end up her brother-in-law. In addition, Julia also shows that she is older than Liz through her being more logical and wise than Liz. She is also more level headed, cool, calm and collected than Liz, who is rather HotBlooded, impulsive, hot headed and emotional.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: In a conversation between the twins in Episode 19 (Week 6), after her sister notes that Julia is the bitchier twin, Liz notes that Julia is the bitchier one when drunk... Julia owns up this, responding with a "touché". Arguably, she is this trope because like her sister she acts like a nice girl at first, but is really a very catty girl who loves to trash-talk people like her sister Liz does.
* BrainlessBeauty: She’s pretty and cute like her twin, but she is not very smart or intelligent at all. John made a comment in one of his DR sessions that he wanted to pick Julia (or Meg) to play in the Power of Veto competition because “they don’t seem to have too much going on when it comes to brains or smarts”. She is much more practical, pragmatic, logical and wise than Liz though.
* ButtMonkey: Was on the receiving end of a relatively nasty zing by Zingbot, saying how she's hideous and stupid. In a DR, Julia retorts about the remark about her intelligence by stating that she had the same score on her [=SATs=] as Liz. What score they got, she never said, but given that Liz and Julia are in marketing, they're not that stupid.
* CoDragons: With Austin, Liz, Shelli, Clay, and Steve for Vanessa. Julia doesn’t really provide much in the way of strategy or gameplay, but she has remained rather loyal to Vanessa and has never turned on her as of yet.
* CoolBigSis: To Liz, even though she is only a few minutes older than her. Although a catty mean girl, she is much more wise and calm than Liz, who is very emotional and HotBlooded. She often calms Liz down and serves as a mentor to her and someone who is willing to give her advice whenever she needs it. She's also fiercely overprotective of Liz and will do anything to make sure that she's happy.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like her sister, she is very cutting and sarcastic. Especially when she is annoyed or angered. Even when she is trying to be funny or say something humourous, she comes off as serious.
* DevourTheDragon: Julia was nominated by Steve during Week 11, when Austin has won the Power of Veto and Julia became the replacement nominee in Austin’s spot. At first, it seemed that Vanessa has wanted Julia to stay in the game, as she was a viable Final 2 option for Vanessa, but it turns out that Vanessa has decided to keep Liz over Julia and Vanessa plans on voting Julia out, because it is what both of the twins had wanted and decided together.
* TheDitz: During a conversation with Steve in Week 10, she didn't know who Sigmund Freud was when Steve mentioned that his relationship with his mom is not Freudian, referring to him "Sigmund and Freud". Other than the fact they thought Freud was two people, this wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that both her and her sister thought "Sigmund and Freud" were "the two lion guys who got bit", confusing them with ''Siegfried and Roy!''
* TheDragon: To Vanessa, the BigBad, for pretty much the entire game. Julia has shown to be rather loyal to Vanessa and she pretty much does everything that Vanessa says. She is also naive and gullible, believing and buying into everything Vanessa says.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Although Julia has been loyal to Vanessa for the majority of the game, as of Week 11, Julia has finally been onto Vanessa and her game. She realizes that Vanessa is PlayingBothSides of the house, and that she is hugely manipulative. Julia has said to Austin and Liz that if and when she is voted out, she plans to blow up Vanessa and her game to everyone in the house. Interestingly enough, what Julia is completely unaware of is that John and Steve (the people she plans on exposing Vanessa to) are already onto Vanessa and her tactics and have been for quite some time.
* DumbBlonde: Like her sister Liz, doesn’t seem to have too much going on in the name of intelligence. Julia believed that white rice was made of flour! In her defense, Julia is more logical than Liz and definitely less emotional and impulsive than Liz. So, she comes off much wiser than Liz overall.
* EverybodyKnewAlready: By the time Julia entered the game as an individual player, all of the Houseguests were fully aware of the Twin Twist.
* EvilCounterpart: Could be considered this to Meg. Liz could also be considered as this to Meg as well. Both Julia and Meg are very useless in the game, being TheLoad. Both Julia and Meg are the DumbBlonde and TheDitz, not being very smart or intelligent. Julia leans more towards being an evil blonde wwhile Meg is more of a HairOfGold. Julia is a BetaBitch, while Meg is the NiceGirl. Meg is popular with the audience, Julia is unpopular with the audience.
* EvilFeelsGood: Downplayed. She's not as mean and petty as her younger twin sister, but she does seem to get a high off of trash talking the other houseguests. She can also act pretty mean and she doesn't seem to feel bad about it either. But despite this, Julia still is no where near the mean girl that Liz is and she does sometimes call out Liz for taking her petty behavior way too far.
* EvilIsPetty: Talks just as much trash as her younger sister Liz but she is not as bad as her. She has made so many nasty comments about the other houseguests. She has called James all kinds of names such as "Napoleon" and little man (because James is short) and has called Meg's personality a typical New York personality because she has a stink ass attitude. She has also stated that she thinks that John has NoSocialSkills and that he is nothing but an awkward individual. She even comments about John's physical appearance (calling him a turtle and saying that he looks like a skeleton with a hairy back) and how he contributes nothing to the game (which is ironic considering Julia is TheLoad and has won't won anything all season except a measley POV during Double Eviction). She has made harsh comments about Austin and has called him an ugly person who only wants fame and attention. What is ironic is that Julia constantly hates when people talk trash about her and her sister yet she has zero issue with doing it herself and talking crap about everyone else. She also has a strong IrrationalHatred of Meg and has constantly made it her mission to trash her. Julia, along with her sister, is just a nasty and mean girl. It is not a surprise to discover that she is one of the most disliked houseguests of the season. She may be nicer than her sister, but not by much.
* GirlyGirl: Just as feminine and girly as her sister. However, unlike Liz, Julia is not a GirlyBruiser, as she is not as strong as a competitor as Liz. Julia does seem to have more edge to her than Liz in terms of style though.
* GossipyHens: Julia is one of the biggest gossipers in the house. She is just as guilty of trash talking as her sister Julia. There is not one houseguest that has been immune to Julia’s trash talking.
* GracefulLoser: Julia took her eviction extremely well. In fact, she had wanted to be the one evicted since she was up against her sister Liz on the block. Julia was very accepting of leaving the game because she felt that Liz had a much stronger and higher chance of making it to the end and winning than she did.
* IllGirl: When Julia was 6 years old, Julia was diagonosed with leukemia. She thankfully overcame the illness. Julia has even commeneted that if she were to win in the end, she would use some of the money to donate to a charity for leukemia.
* TheLoad: Is completely and utterly useless when it comes to competitions. She’s also shown to be useless when it comes to strategy as well. Hell, to put it bluntly, Julia is just plain useless period. She’s just as useless and clueless as Meg.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Played Straight. Julia is the middle child in her family as she has an older sister named Angela and a younger twin sister in Liz. Julia, and even Liz, has commented on the live feeds that Julia always got the short end of the stick in life. According to a letter from home that Liz received during her HOH, her mother even lampshades that Liz was her favorite child and that she had a favoritism towards Liz over Julia. In addition to that, she was also the IllGirl of the family as she battled Leukaemia when she was just a child. She managed to overcome it, but it showed that she definitely had some bad luck as the middle child.
* MsFanservice: Is this at times, as is the case of Liz. One key example, like her sister did from the beginning of the season in the original version of the sequence, Julia is shown wearing a bikini in the update to the season's intro sequence following her entry into the game. Not to mention to the periodic bikini shots.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: Hates the idea of Austin and Liz having a showmance, because she considers Austin unattractive.
* MythologyGag: Julia and Liz are masquerade as one player like [[Characters/BigBrother5 Adria and Natalie]] did.
* NobleTopEnforcer: Let's face it, Julia is much nicer than Vanessa overall. She is even nicer than her sister Liz in personality. Although Julia is a classic mean girl because she engages in the majority of the trash talking of other houseguests, she is still not as vile and mean spirited as Vanessa. Vanessa comes off very aggressive in her behaviour towards others, while Julia is generally more quiet and laid back. Julia is also this way in comparison to Liz, who is a bigger mean girl than her. Often when Vanessa and Liz start talking down about other houseguests to Julia, Julia normally isn't the one that is instigating it. Out of the trio of herself, Vanessa, and Liz, Julia is definitely the nicer one.
* PickedLast: Julia eventually becomes a little disgruntled that she has never been picked to participate in a veto competition, even when ''her own twin sister'' is [=HOH=] in Week 8. Julia finally gets picked to be in a veto comp in Week 9.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Liz is noted as being more friendly and outgoing in comparison to Julia, who has a bit more aloof personality. For some of the houseguests, this was one of the giveaways that added to the suspicion that Liz was a twin.
* RunningGag: Targeted by James for his pranks all the time.
* SiblingTeam: With Liz. While they've been part of an alliance since Week 2, the main objective of the two is to survive the game to the final three.
* SixthRanger: Invoked though in the name of the alliance that both twins are part of, the Sixth Sense, acknowledging that Julia would become a full-time member (and therefore an extra vote on their side) once she formally joined the game. Also invoked in her addition to the title sequence alongside Liz beginning in Week 6, even though Julia had been playing in the game from the get-go.
* SpannerInTheWorks[=/=][[HoistByTheirOwnPetard Hoist by Her Own Petard]]: After Austin and Liz were nominated for eviction by Steve in Week 10, they and Julia came up with a plan to throw the POV competition to the latter, so she could try and win the Power of Veto. However, the plan blew up in their faces when Vanessa decided to make a gameplay move by feeding a lie to Julia that Austin would target her next if she didn't win the Power of Veto and convinced Julia to pick Austin as the houseguest she'd go up against in the second round of the bowling comp, when the planned called for her to choose John to compete against first. Austin, confused by what was going on, beat Julia and then took on John in the final round, winning the POV against him. By failing to remember that Vanessa was responsible for trying to get out Austin in Week 5, has been instrumental in helping them carry out other evictions later on and that the lie could have been a bluff as Vanessa is a huge strategical player, Julia's decision derailed any chance of the twins both making it at least into the Final 5 together, since she ended up the replacement nominee once Austin chose to take himself off the block and wound up being evicted in a 3-0 vote (although it was mutually decided before the eviction that Julia would be the SacrificialLamb).
* ThirdWheel: Julia starts to become this to Liz and Austin by Week 7, when the latter two become closer romantically. It's obvious that Julia isn't a big fan of Austin, as the case was with her sister earlier in the game, even expressing sour grapes when Liz chooses Austin over her when drawing names in the Week 8 POV competition.
* TwinSwitch: Does this with Liz as part of the Twin Twist.
* VerbalTic: She has a habit of dragging out words and ending them with an "uh" when annoyed or aggravated (in other words, she talks like thiiiiis-uh!). Liz has a similar mode of speech, with both girls speaking in something similar to a ValleyGirl accent (despite being from Florida).
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim?: Julia has wondered this about Liz and Austin's developing relationship. After Austin gives Liz a noticeable, but minor hickey in Week 8, much to the chagrin of Julia, questions whether Austin is the kind of guy her sister should be having a showmance with.
* {{Yandere}}: Somewhat has this behavior in regards to Liz, whom she's just a little too overprotective over and hates the idea of any guy (especially Austin) getting in between her and her twin sister. Illustrated perfectly in Week 10, just prior to the veto competition, using this analogy after Liz and Austin come up with a plan to throw the comp to Julia in order to take her sister off the block, when Steve targets the two for eviction:
--->'''Julia:''' I am a lion going after a gazelle [Steve]... and I'm going to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, bitch.

* HundredPercentAdorationRating: James managed to beat out Johnny Mac and Jason for the ''America's Favorite Player'' award.
* AccidentalPervert: James accidentally walks in on Jackie in the changing room in Week 7, reacting with a pretty hilarious backwards jump when he stumbles upon her.
* ActionDad: James has two daughters ([[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204572976380741&set=gm.1107982465896891&type=1&theater as shown in a Facebook post]]), and he is the a strong competitor in challenges... most of the time.
* ActionHero: James was the strongest competitor of the season amongst the men (along with John and Steve). He won 2 Head of Households, 2 Power of Vetoes and 2 Battle of the Blocks. He was seen to be particularly solid at physical competitions and and endurance competitions.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: James had an obvious crush on Meg, who only saw him as a close friend and valued ally in the house. James later admits in his exit interview that if he hasn't gotten anywhere with her in the BB house, he doesn't have a shot in the jury house, but is fine with being JustFriends.
* AndThisIsFor...: James avenges the eviction of Jason (after Vanessa reneged on the plan to backdoor Austin) by targeting Shelli and Clay for eviction in Week 6, not knowing beforehand that Vanessa was responsible for the betrayal of the other side of the house after deciding she needed Austin on the Sixth Sense's side... after he begged her for a second chance after saying he would target Julia.
* AudienceSurrogate: The audience strongly elated to James and James would often say exactly what the viewers were thinking. An example was in Week 9 after Austin made a bizarre speech while nominating John and Steve. James said in his DR session after the nomination ceremony that Austin seems tool have clearly lost his mind because of that nomination speech.
* BadassAdorable: James is very small in stature but he was one of the strongest competitors of the season. James was also a player that made big moves during the season such as nominating Clay and Shelli arguably considered to be the game changer of the season. Bottom line is that James may be small but he definitely should not be underestimated because of it.
* BigDamnHeroes: James made the first big move of the season by nominating Clay and Shelli during Week 6. Some argue that nominating Clay and Shelli was the game changer of the season and changed the future of the season.
* BreakoutCharacter: James surprisingly won the Americas Fave Houseguest prize at the end of the season beating out the expected favorite to win the prize, John. John and Jason were in the Top 3 along with James.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Kevin Frazier "interviews" James before the first "UF-Oh, No!" HOH competition (a la the red carpet interviews Kevin does on ''Series/EntertainmentTonight''), James fails to understand that when Kevin said "look at you!", he meant "look at what are you wearing" and that he was thinking he's never seen an Asian hillbilly.
* DeadpanSnarker: James is known to be really funny and entertaining, both on the feeds and on the show. He always has a witty one liner ready to say.
* DeepSouth: His most interesting fact is that he's a hillbilly Asian.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Enough that in trying to recruit pawns as part of their plan to backdoor Jace, that he was not willing to put Jackie and Becky up on the block. Jason points this out, when James explains to Becky (whose wearing a pink bikini top) that she is among the players he wants to keep off the block:
-->'''Jason:''' "James, eyes up here. The idea is to get people to be pawns. Just 'cause she pretty, don't mean we can actually keep her safe for this week."
* EverythingIsBigInTexas: Subverted. James is from Texas but he is a really small guy in height and stature (he is only 5'4" according to himself).
* GoodOlBoy: James is a Southern guy who originally hails from South Carolina but currently lives in Texas.
* HappilyAdopted: James said he was adopted in his introduction to the point of not knowing his ethnicity.
* HasAType: In the Week 9 hometown montage, his roommate notes that James likes blondes and women who are taller. Hence, his crush on Meg, who has both attributes.
* InSeriesNickname: Captain Camo, because of his signature style and his ability to avoid being noticed when carrying out pranks until anyone least expects it. Subverted, since he's rarely ever called that by any of his fellow houseguests, though it is used for a hashtag seen during his pranks on the show.
* LikesOlderWomen: Shown having a fairly obvious crush on Vanessa's mom, when he sees a picture of her and Vanessa in the [=HOH=] room during Vanessa's second tenure as Head of Household.
* LimitedWardrobe: Doesn't seem to have that much of a variety in clothing and is often seen wearing the same thing.
* LukeIAmYourFather: As he tells Meg in Week 10, James did not find out he was going to be a father until the day his daughter Bailey's mother gave birth to her.
* NiceGuy: When Audrey is set up for eviction and is acting all strange, James makes a nice omelet for her. Ironically, the act of doing so nets her a penalty vote because she is a Have Not for the week, too, but Audrey is just feeling so bad and her eviction is so unpreventable that it doesn't matter anymore and the omelet is a breath of fresh air for her.
* NiceHat: He is often seen wearing a cap or visor. James has also borrowed Liz's cat hat several times.
* OddFriendship: With Steve. Becomes this with Steve by Week 8. James states his friendship with Steve evolved from being out of pure strategy to a full-blown [[HeterosexualLifePartners bromance]].
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Jackie and Meg. He is in an alliance with the both of them and have been shown to be very close.
* ThePrankster: James has pulled several pranks during his time in the house, having sometimes used sneak-up-and-scare/hide-and-scare tricks on some of the other houseguests; pulling an eerie, but funny sleepwalking prank on Julia in Week 8; and in the same week, Saran Wrapped Steve's stuff on one of the dentist chairs. James noted to Julie Chen following a reel of his pranks (most of which involved Julia, whom he scared again in a closet prank one night during Week 9) on Week 8 eviction night, that he has done this to keep himself occupied in the house when he gets bored.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Aubrey eating James's omelet was a blatant Have Not rule infraction, and making an omelet for Audrey when she was a Have Not was obviously grounds to trigger a penalty vote outcome, even if James didn't intend for that to be the case.]] However, it didn't matter to him because Aubrey was so down in the dumps she needed real food, and good food to boot, before she got ''the'' boot, and one vote on top of a near-unanimous eviction already hopelessly stacked against her was just a drop in the bucket, anyway.
* StereotypeFlip: Acknowledges the fact that people take a second look at him when they see a person who is Asian, but lives the customs of a country boy.
* TokenMinority: He and Da'Vonne are some of the only people in the season who are not Caucasian.

->'''HOH Evicted Under:''' VANESSA (in Week 10)
->'''Voted For (In Jury):''' STEVE

* {{Adorkable}}: Meg is loveable and dorky at times, and knows how to make fun of herself and her shortcomings (such as her inability to win competitions). She also embraces her awkwardness and she is very dorky and silly. She loves to have fun. On top of this, she is even seen wearing glasses from time to time.
* AlliterativeName: Her first and last name begin with the same letter: M.
* AllLovingHero: Meg is very likeable and she seems to get along with everyone. She is the PluckyGirl and ThePollyanna who believes in seeing the best in everyone.
* AscendedExtra: Meg doesn’t seem to be featured all that much on the show. If she is noticed or featured on the show, it is because of her relationship with James. Her relationship with James was what gave Meg more of the spotlight later on.
* BareYourMidriff: Meg tends to wear tops or clothing that reveal her stomach or her midriff. Since she seems to have a preference for revealing clothing, this definitely puts Meg in MsFanservice territory. It seems to be a thing the female houseguests, with the the exception of maybe Da’Vonne and Vanessa, all share in common.
* BigApplesauce: Meg is originally from New Jersey, but lives in New York City. Meg's personality seems to have a blend of Jersey and New York as she is very larger than life in personality. She is also a HardDrinkingPartyGirl who likes to party and have fun. The club life is a huge part of New York culture and Meg seems as though she would be a pro at it. During the BB Comic Book [=POV=] competition, Meg's hometown is lampshaded when her superhero name was "The Big Apple".
* CelebrityResemblance: James states that Meg physically resembles Music/TaylorSwift. Much of the physical resemblance between the two stems from Meg being blonde, pretty and on the taller side. Meg's physical resemblance to Taylor is also a major reason as to why James had a mega crush on her since according to James, Taylor Swift is his celebrity crush (she fits all of James' ideal woman requirements, which is blonde, beautiful and tall).
* TheChick: Of the entire season. She could be seen as the opposite of Liz and Vanessa, who are TheDarkChick's. Meg was not a big gamer like other houseguests but she did serve as the peacemaker to her alliance. Meg seemed like she was there to socialize, make friends and flirt with the male houseguests. She had also voiced her feelings about not contributing enough to the alliance.
* TheChosenOne: When he chooses her for his "Houseguest's Choice" pick for the Week 8 POV competition, Meg notes that Johnny Mac always ends up drawing her name to participate in veto comps.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Downplayed. Meg has an usually deep pitched voice, which contrasts with her gleeful image. But she is far from a competitive powerhouse.
* CuteButCacophonic: There have been plenty of fans who have said that they find Meg's talking voice to be very irritating or annoying. Her voice is especially irritating to listen to during her DR sessions as she has NoIndoorVoice.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Meg takes a pretty hard fall on the second run of the Otev the Rockin' Roll veto competition in Week 8, when trying to make it up the butter-soaked wall, falling face-first, knocking off her headband and (briefly) losing her answer butter for the second clue in the process.
* TheCutie: Meg is very sweet, loveable and endearing. She displays many childlike characteristics about her and she also has a bit of an innocence to her. Meg also appears to be ThePollyanna and the PluckyGirl with positive and optimistic attitude. She is also a GenkiGirl and she is very hyper and energetic.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Although Meg [[AllWomenLoveShoes is a huge fan of designer shoes]], when she's in the house, Meg is nearly always barefoot. Justified, in that Meg is a sufferer of psoriatic arthritis and using shoes puts a strain on her joints, so Meg actually needs to stay barefoot whenever possible. It also lets her show off a tattoo on her right foot that says "Always yes" in cursive.
** AgonyOfTheFeet: During Kronk's takeover of the house, Meg regretted this when she was part of a conga line and was dancing across the coarse backyard grass in her bare feet, yelping in pain and not knowing if she could take it anymore.
* DumbBlonde: Meg is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. She doesn’t have any strategic prowess and she doesn’t have any understanding of the game as a whole. She has depend on her allies, such as Becky, Jason and Jackie for example, to help her in the game, especially when it comes to strategy. She seems to be a big time airhead, even though she is very cute and likeable.
* FagHag: In RealLife, Meg said she lives with her "gusband" (gay husband). She was also close friends with Jason. It is argued that other than James, Jason was her closest friend in the house. She seems to have a strong affinity with gay men. Despite her affinity with gay men, she does not fit the physical descriptions of this trope as she is physically attractive and she is also in shape.
* FlowerInHerHair: Sometimes, Meg wears a flower crown of daisies on her head.
* {{Foil}}: To Liz in many ways. Although they are girls who come off as TheDitz and the DumbBlonde, they are actually rather opposite of one another. Personality wise: Meg is more likeable, while Liz is more unlikeable. Meg is the GirlNextDoor and the NiceGirl; Liz is an AlphaBitch. Meg is a HairOfGoldHeartOfGold; Liz is an evil blonde. Meg is the CuteClumsyGirl; Liz is not. Gamewise: Liz is more competitive and an ActionGirl; while Meg is not competitive and TheLoad. Meg was aligned with the “good side of the house” (James, Jackie, Da’Vonne, Jason, Becky, John); Liz was aligned with the “bad side of the house” (Vanessa, Austin, Shelli, Clay, Julia, Steve). Meg loved James, while Liz hated James. Also see GoodCounterpart.
* GenkiGirl: This is particularly noticeable in the majority of her Diary Room entries.
* GoodCounterpart: To Liz. Liz is TheDarkChick while Meg is TheChick. Both Liz and Meg are DumbBlonde’s who are not the sharpest tools in the shed. Both are TheDitz and come off as shallow and dumb about alot of things. Liz is an AlphaBitch, while Meg is a NiceGirl. Liz is an evil blonde, while Meg is a HairOfGold. Both girls seem to love or have an affinity towards Austin. In terms of gameplay, they are both pretty clueless and do not understand the concepts of the game entirely. Both Liz and Meg have somewhat depended on a man in the game (Liz depending on Austin and Meg depending on James). Liz is disliked by the audience while Meg is generally liked by the audience. On the flip side, Liz is more of an ActionGirl and is extremely competitive when it comes to competitions, while Meg is more of TheLoad, who has proven she is very useless competitively.
* IllGirl: Post-season, Meg revealed that she was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in the sixth grade and chose not to let anyone know this during the game because it would put her at a disadvantage. It's part of the reason why she has a lot of trouble during physical challenges.
* InSeriesNickname: As illustrated in Episode 30 (Week 10), Meg is sometimes called "Grandma Meg" by some of the houseguests, because she sometimes gets confused, a little cranky and has other personality traits similar to that of a senior citizen, despite being ''25 years old''.
* TheLoad: Meg was one of the weakest and most useless female players of the season. She managed to not win one single competition and overall, she seemed to be very weak on a competitive level. It did not help that Meg was very clueless about what was going in the house. She needed some of her other allies, such as Jackie and Jason, to help her in the strategic department. There were times when Meg even came off as a liability to her alliance (James, Jackie, Jason, Da'Vonne) because she could not win any competitions to keep herself and her allies safe and she did not contribute anything in terms of game intelligence or strategy. It seems that the only thing that Meg really contributed to the game was her ability to flirt with different male houseguests, namely James and Clay. She's also TrueCompanions with Johnny, Jason, and James, and has a decent social game with them.
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: With her laid-back and adorkable personality, Meg is well-liked among the other houseguests, several of whom have admitted they have nothing bad to say about her.
* ShipTease: With Clay. Implied in Episode 18 (Week 6), with some LoveTriangle implications (the show even going as far as using the hashtag [= #BBScandal =] during the scene in which she hugs him so tight, she practically needs to be pried off Clay).
** Meg has also had flirtmances with James and, possibly, Jeff. Clay even boldly points this out in his Week 6 exit interview.
* TheTease: Meg does this humorously in her DR entry in Episode 16 (Week 5), as the top 3 Battle of the Block competitors choose who they want to invite to an Outback Steakhouse dinner in the backyard they were rewarded with:
-->'''Meg''' (flirtily): "James, pick me. A couple of drinks and you never know what's gonna happen."
-->'''James''' (in the common room, announcing his decision in front of the houseguests): "I'm gonna have to choose... my boy Clay."
-->'''Meg:''' "Clay?! Oh, Jamesy, don't come crawlin' back to me when Clay doesn't put out."

->'''Voted For (In Jury):''' STEVE

* AffectionateNickname: John often calls Becky "Denver", because Becky is originally from that city.
* AlliterativeName: Her first and last name begin with the same letter: B.
* ActionGirl: Seems to be the most athletic of the cast and is a great competitor. For example, she won the Week 7 HOH competition, pulling quite ahead of the other players... not to mention that it was an endurance competition with the high likelihood of slipping and falling at that.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a NiceGirl....just DON'T get on her bad side. She can be quite a vicious person if you cross her or betray her.
* [[TheBigGuy The Big Girl]]: Is very tough and athletic. Plus, she's also one of the taller women in the house. All of the other girls seem much smaller and shorter than her. One of the major reasons why Josh was attracted to her in the first place was because she was a tall girl and he's always been attracted to tall girls.
* BodyHorror: Becky describing all of the injuries she got after being hit in the face by the front of a train the year prior during a pre-sunrise run.[[note]]In detail, she suffered a broken wrist and injured her leg and foot after being knocked backward 15 feet, lost two teeth (one of which pierced her upper lip; her bottom lip also had to be sewn back on), had her nose crushed and her skull fractured. The after-effects of the now-healed injuries are somewhat noticeable as the structure of the right side of Becky's face is asymmetrical in comparison to her left side.[[/note]] It makes it that much more impressive that she made a full recovery without any plastic surgery.
* BreakTheCutie: After losing about three competitions in a row and getting put up on the block in Week 5 (not to mention losing the Battle of the Block comp that week that could have taken her and Clay off the block), she starts to lose it a little.
* GirlNextDoor: Becky is one of the most down to earth female houseguests of the season and she's most definitely a NiceGirl to boot. No wonder John really liked her.
* GoodIsNotNice: Becky is a NiceGirl for the majority of the time....but she does have a very petty side especially when she's wronged or betrayed. She won't hesitate to call out someone if they are doing something wrong. She's done this with Vanessa of all people.
* GoodIsNotSoft: A NiceGirl who is very loyal, caring and understanding, but she won't always be kind, sympathetic or compassionate to her enemies. Vanessa was someone that Becky didn't have much respect for in the game because she didn't like the way that she acted or conducted herself in the game. Becky also didn't like Vanessa's dirty gameplay and she has admitted to Vanessa herself that she didn't like nor trust her because of how shady and untrustworthy she had been the whole time.
* GranolaGirl: Becky said this rubbed off of her from her family. Affirmed with the basket given to her when she became HOH in Week 7, which included mostly healthy food (such as lettuce, kale and brussels sprouts).
* HasAType: Becky said that the type of men that she finds herself attracted to are extremely tall and athletic types. She has also stated that she is attracted to Black men and basketball players in particular. Poor John doesn't fit any of the above criteria.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Becky had such changeable loyalties in the game that it was hard to really tell who she was really loyal to in the game. She was clearly PlayingBothSides of the house and she couldn't stick to one side. Becky would pretend that she is with Vanessa's side of the house and then end up going over to John and then jumping over to James, Meg and Jackie's side of the house. The latter figured out what she was doing and that she was disloyal because she was ratting out information from their side and leaking it to the other side (Vanessa's side).
* MadeOfIron: She was hit in the face ''by a train'' and ''survived''. She was grievously injured, but made a full recovery without even needing plastic surgery. Liz even referred to Becky as being "Superwoman".
* NiceGirl: OH SO MUCH. Even though she does have a very tough, petty side at times especially towards those she doesn't like, she is one of the most genuinely nice and kind people on the season.
* OutOfFocus: Did anyone even know that Becky was on the show? Or that she was even a houseguest playing the game on this season? Considering that the majority of the live shows centred on Vanessa, John, James or the rest of the Sixth Sense alliance, it makes sense why Becky wasn't so memorable and didn't get much screen time or attention from either production or the fans. The only time that Becky was noticed by the fans or given attention from the show was when she won HOH and she backdoored the strongest player in the game Vanessa.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With John. Although John has openly admitted to having a crush on Becky, Becky only sees John as a friend. The two have shown to have a close bond and friendship and are in a secret alliance together since the beginning.
* PlayingBothSides: As Shelli points out in her DR entry after Becky wins HOH in Week 7, since she's one of only three unaligned houseguests (along with John and Steve), Becky has been swayed between the Sixth Sense and the After Dark Crew when a member of either alliance have been in power. Invoked by Becky word for word, before stating that her allegiance leads more towards the After Dark Crew. Some of the fans have referred to her as being a rat and compared her to Andy Herren from ''[[Characters/BigBrother15 Big Brother 15]]''.
* ShipTease: With John. Although, the feelings are shown to be unrequited. John has said that he has a crush on Becky but Becky has not shown romantic interest in John and has even said in so many words that John is not her type (she likes tall men). Despite this, the fans are still a fan of their relationship and enjoy the moments that they have together.
* StatuesqueStunner: Is the tallest of the girls, very athletic and buxom.
* SupremeChef: Becky is noted for being this, with Johnny Mac even stating she makes certain breakfast meals with real fruit (just what kind of dishes she puts the fruit in is not specified, though).

* ActionFashionista: Averted. Jackie likes clothing, fashion, shoes, and makeup and she is a bit of an ActionGirl. She is not the most competitive person in the house but she has shown that she does have a very athletic side. She also makes it a habit of looking as good as possible while she is doing athletic and active things. Jackie takes pride in her appearance no matter what she is doing.
* ActionSurvivor: Jackie was not an overly competitive person and she did not win a lot of competitions, but she was actually a very smart person. She seemed to rely more on strategy and intelligence to get ahead in the game. Jackie was not TheLoad like Meg (who was considered to be weak on both a competitive level and a strategic level) and she was not an ActionHero like James (who was very strong competitively and won a lot of competitions).
* {{Adorkable}}: Jackie is very likeable, loveable and endearing that you cannot help but root for her. Her interactions with Jason, James, and Meg make her someone who is very east to root for. Also, Jackie being FunSize could also be adding to her adorable and cute qualities. However, just because she is very lovable does not mean that she is to be underestimated. Jackie is also quite spunky and sassy and she is a bit of a firecracker, especially when competitive, frustrated or angered.
* AllWomenLoveShoes: Jackie seems to have a preference for high heel shoes and stilettos. It seems at every live eviction, she is seen wearing them. It is understandable why Jackie seems to have a high heel shoe obsession since she loves fashion and dressing up.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Sometimes comes across as this. Although Jackie comes off as friendly most of the time, she can also come off as TheStoic, someone who appears very calm and collected. In most intsnaces, Jackie has been very rational, calm, aloof and she comes across as the OnlySaneWoman in her alliance. She is also the most strategic and logical from a game standpoint. However, there are cases where Jackie can let her emotions show and when she does, she can be very sassy and feisty.
* AscendedExtra: Although she was featured on ''The Amazing Race'', she is not all that featured on this season. Jackie was rarely given attention and screen time when the show would air. Many fans felt that Jackie came off as an after thought and she did not seem to be a character or personality that stood out to the fans and to the audience. The only time when it felt that Jackie got any kind of prevalent attention or screen time was when she was nominated (such as during the Double Eviction when she was evicted). Some fans have even gone as far as to say "Who's Jackie?"
* BadassAdorable: Jackie is very cute and adorable because she is one of the smaller female houseguests of the season, but she can also be very feisty, sassy and competitive. She is not the strongest female competitor of the season, but she is not completely useless in the competitions. Jackie's expertise in the game though is strategy and social game. If Jackie had made it farther in the game, it is assumed that she would eventually become a huge threat and would have been a force to be reckoned with.
* BareYourMidriff: As expected, Jackie wears a lot of revealing clothing (she is a professional dancer after all). So, it is not surprising that she is seen wearing alot of tops that often bare her stomach. Jackie is also seen wearing just a sports bra. The combination of her showing her assets (her breasts) and her stomach definitely solidify her in MsFanservice territory.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Jackie is a NiceGirl for the most part, but do not cross her, piss her off or hurt the ones that she cares about. She will come for you. A particular example is when Vanessa backdoored her close ally Jason. After that, Jackie had made it her mission to target Vanessa and fueled her desire to get revenge by getting her out of the house. Jackie has also made it known that she is not a fan of Vanessa on a personal or game level. All in all, Jackie is friendly, but if you cross her or those she cares about, it's a wrap and you are on her radar.
* BuxomIsBetter[=/=]BigBreastPride: Jacklyn has very large breasts and she seems to take great pride in her assets. She likes to accentuate them through revealing clothing, in particular, revealing tops and dresses. It is uncertain if Jackie's breasts are real or fake, although many fans are of the assumption that they are implants. She also likes to use her assets when she flirts with the male houseguests. Definitely qualifies her as a MsFanservice.
* {{Crossover}}: Jeff and Jackie first competed on ''Characters/TheAmazingRace26''. Considering that both ''Big Brother'' and ''The Amazing Race'' are CBS shows, this is prevalent.
* TheCutie: Jackie is petite, loveable and endearing. She is easy to like and root for because of her likeable personality. However, despite her generally swet and friendly nature, she is no pushover and she does have a bit of a spunky and sassy side to her. Her relationships with Meg, James and Jason endeared alot of fans to her and many of the viewers, particularly the live feeders, were rooting for her to win.
* FagHag: One of her close friendships and allies in the game is Jason. It was a tossup between Meg and Jackie regarding who was closer to Jason. Jackie did not take it well when Jason was evicted and wanted to avenge his eviction by going after Vanessa. Although Jackie has an affinity with gay men, she does not seem to fit the trope physically as she is physically attractive and appealing.
* GenkiGirl: She is a cross between this and an AloofDarkHairedGirl. Although she appears to be very aloof and stoic on occassion, she is actually a very upbeat and optimistic person, especially when she is happy or excited about something. Jackie also comes across as a very energetic and spirited girl, but it is understandable why she would be this way since she is a professional dancer. She seems like a very fun loving girl who likes to have a good time and this was seen in her realtionships with James, Meg and Jason.
* GirlyGirl: Jackie is a very feminine individual. She showcases this through the clothing that she wears and her fashion sense. She has a love for wearing fancy and designer clothing (especially dresses), high heel shoes, and makeup. She is definitely the most girly and feminine of this group of female houseguests, especially in comparison to more of the tomboyish, aggressive or GirlNextDoor women in the house such as Vanessa, Becky,and Da'Vonne, and even Audrey. The other female houseguests that match her girliness are Liz, Julia, Shelli and Meg, although even Shelli has more of a GirlNextDoor persona than Jackie does.
* GracefulLoser: Although she and her ally Meg were absolutely blindsided during the Double Eviction when Steve won HOH and nominated the two of them for eviction, which resulted in her eviction, Jackie managed to take her eviction very well. She even stated that the reason why she ended up going home was because there was a misunderstanding on Steve's behalf. Steve had felt that Jackie was coming after him, but in actual fact, she was wanting to come after Austin and Vanessa. Jackie was very accepting of this and even voted for Steve to win the game at the end, even though he was the one who was responsible for her eviction.
* HeterosexualLifePartners[=/=]RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: With Meg. The two were very close in the house and they shared an inseparable bond with one another. When Meg and Jackie were on the block together during the Double Eviction, one could tell how much they loved each other and valued each other as friends. They were both so upset about being nominated against each other and Meg did not take it well when Jackie was evicted.
* JustFriends: Jeff said this about their relationship. It was always assumed that there was UnresolvedSexualTension between them, but he had set the record straight and stated that they were just friends and had a platonic relationship. It is unknown if Jackie also saw their relationship the same way or if there were any unresolved feelings for Jeff on her behalf.
* MsFanservice: A key example is the outfit she wore on the first eviction night: a sports bra and tight black pants. Jace even surmised this was all she had to offer when trying to ''convince'' John to keep him in the game over Jackie:
-->'''Jace:''' Jackie, what is she bringing to the table?
-->'''John:''' Uh...
-->'''Jace:''' What does she bring?
-->'''John:''' Yeah, I don't know.
-->'''Jace:''' Boobs.
-->'''John:''' (''chuckles'')
** Further adding to this trope is Jackie's striptease on Day 51, when her Knight in Shining Armor punishment (which she won in the Week 7 HOH comp) finally ends, taking off the knight suit piece by piece until she's down to just a sports bra and lycra shorts.
* OnlySaneWoman: Of her alliance with Jason, James, and Meg. It was Jackie that was always the logical and practical one of the group. She was seen to be the strategist and her reads on the house were very accurate. In comparison to Meg, who comes off as more of TheDitz and DumbBlonde and James who is an ActionHero and very competitive, but is not that strong on a strategic level, Jackie definitely fits this trope.
* OutOfFocus: Isn't given much screen time early on. Britney Haynes even stated that the first time she saw Jackie was when Jackie won the Week 5 HOH. SubvertedTrope, as the eviction of Jason and the ascent of the After Dark Crew and their satellite allies into power puts her more on the canvas.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Jackie's eviction in the Week 7 Double Eviction episode was highly surprising given that one would have expected Steve to put Jackie and Meg up on the block merely as pawns and backdoor Becky, given his dislike of her. However, Steve (who has worried about other houseguests seeing him as a target) decided to target her because he was under the belief that she was targeting him thanks to a rumor spilled to him by one of the houseguests. She insisted the rumor was false, but to no avail. In reality, Steve wasn't even on her radar, and Jackie actually wanted to target Austin.
* SpicyLatina: Jackie is Latina and she can also be very sassy and spunky. Even though Jackie is calm most of the time, she did show cases of being HotBlooded when she would get upset or angry. On top of it, Jackie is a MsFanservice, who wears a lot of [[FormFittingWardrobe scantily clad clothing]] and has a lot of sex appeal. Even though Jackie can appear calm and demure, she is actually much tougher than she appears and she is not to be underestimated.
* TallPoppySyndrome: Jackie was worried about being targeted due to being on ''Series/TheAmazingRace''. The fact that she was put up as a pawn on the first week by James as part of his plan to get Jace out didn't alleviate her worries any less.

->'''HOH Evicted Under:''' BECKY (in Week 7)
->'''Voted For (In Jury):''' STEVE

* ActionGirl: Shelli has proven to be a strong competitor and has won two HOH's. She has also been shown to be strong in endurance competitions. Not only is Shelli strong competitively, but she is also strong socially and strategically. She is the only female player that truly rivals Vanessa when it comes to the social, competitive and strategic aspects of the game. Shelli's strengths in all three aspects was what made Shelli such a huge threat in the game and why the other side of the house (James, Becky, Jackie, Meg) wanted her out.
* AlphaBitch: Mostly because Shelli comes off as a very strong female player along with Vanessa. She is very strategic and tough as nails. When she has a target in mind, she sets her sights on it and she shows no mercy. Shelli can also be very manipulative and cunning and she is a huge schemer. Shelli could also be considered a BitchInSheepsClothing because she can appear friendly, cordial and nice but can also be very petty and mean on occasion.
* ArchEnemy: James. It is understandable why Shelli was gunning hard for James since he was the one who was responsible for breaking a deal that they made, nominating them together on the block which resulted in Clay being evicted. In Week 6, Shelli said during a DR session that James is her ultimate target because of what he had done by evicting Clay and breaking their deal. Shelli stated that James is untrustworthy because he has proven that he is not a man of his word. James also feels the same way about Shelli in that he has stated that she is the biggest threat to his game and to the games of his allies. James also has a dislike of Shelli because she was one of the major reasons why many of his allies (including Jeff, Audrey, Da'Vonne and Jason) were all evicted back to back during the course of the first four weeks of the game.
* BareYourMidriff: Like many of the other female houseguests such as Meg, Becky, Liz, Julia and Jackie, Shelli has been seen to wear tops which reveal her stomach or her midriff. Similar to the other women in the house, this qualifies her as a MsFanservice.
* BeautyIsBad: Shelli is a very physically beautiful woman who is highly appealing as a MsFanservice. But she was working for Vanessa, who was the main villain. Plus, although Shelli often appeared to be the NiceGirl who was the classic SouthernBelle that was friendly and approachable, underneath, she could very much qualify as someone who's a BitchInSheepsClothing as she's not as sweet and nice as she appears to be. She's also a ManipulativeBitch and she's pretty ruthless and tough when she's wronged or crossed.
* BetaBitch: For Vanessa, who is the ultimate AlphaBitch of the season. Vanessa is the strongest player of the season and it the biggest threat of the house but Shelli is her right hand woman willing to do all of Vanessa's bidding out of undying loyalty to her. If Vanessa is not the one telling the other alliance members (the other members of the Sixth Sense alliance) what to do in the game, it is often Shelli that is the one who is willing to call the shots. Shelli has proclaimed numerous times, both in the house and in the DR, that Vanessa is her closest ally in the game next to Clay and that she would always be willing to fight for Vanessa if she were in trouble. Although Shelli is a strategic and smart player on her own, Vanessa still pretty much has control over Shelli and what she wants to do as she always influences Shelli's game moves.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Although Shelli is a NiceGirl for the most part, do not think that she is to be messed with. Shelli is a very strong woman and when she needs to stand up for herself or those she is aligned with, she will do so without hesitation. Shelli can also be incredibly ruthless in the game and she views every move in the game as a strategic one. Although she felt bad for Audrey on a personal level, Shelli realized that Audrey was nothing more than a liability to her and her alliances' games because she was a loose canon. Shelli had little to no problem backdooring Audrey and having her evicted because of all of the drama and trouble that she was causing. Shelli did cry and feel bad for doing that to Audrey but in the end, she felt that the move she made against Audrey was a justified strategic game move. Case in point, Shelli is nice most of the time, but do not underestimate her as she can be very vengeful when she or those she cares about are betrayed or crossed.
* BornUnlucky: During Week 6, Shelli decides to make a deal with James during the Endurance [=HOH=] competition. She throws the competition to him belieiving that James will uphold the deal and keep her and Clay off the block. Unfortunately for her and Clay, James decides to not keep his deal and he decides that they are too dangerous to his game for him to not nominate them. He ends up blindsiding the both of them at the nomination ceremony by nominating the two of them together on the block. During the [=POV=] competition, Shelli and Clay both lose and they both miss their chance to save themselves from the block. On top of it, James ends up winning the [=POV=] when he takes the Veto from Shelli and gives her Knight Battle Punishment. For the punishment, Shelli had to wear a knight costume and had to do 2400 battles within the span of 24 hours. James decides to not use the POV and they remain on the block together, having to campaign against each other so that they can stay. Clay decides to sacrifice his game for Shelli and asks to be voted out. Clay is evicted while Shelli stays in the game. Unfortunately for them, Clay ends up going home, just barely missing Jury while Shelli ends up making Jury. This means that Clay and Shelli ended up separated for the rest of the summer. It doesn't get much better for Shelli in Week 7. Shelli is nominated alongside Steve by [=HOH=] Becky. Becky insists that Shelli is not her true target and that it is Vanessa. Although Steve ends up winning the [=POV=] and takes himself off the block with Vanessa being the replacement nominee, Shelli still ends up being the one evicted in the end. Shelli may have had it very easy since the beginning of the game because she and her alliance were running the house, but she definitely got a rough deal thrown to her in the last few weeks that she was in the house. Poor Shelli.
* CoDragons: Shelli is this along with Austin, Liz, Julia, Steve and Clay for Vanessa. All of them are TheDragon for Vanessa and all of them were working for her and doing all of her dirty work. Even though all of them are working for Vanessa, all of them have different strengths and weaknesses in the game. For example, Shelli is strong competitively, strategically and socially. Shelli is strong competitively because she can win competitions with ease, especially physical competitions. She is also strong socially, because everyone in the house loves Shelli on a personal level and gets along with her. And she is also strong strategically, because she is the smartest and most strategic player in the game next to Vanessa. Because Shelli is strong at all of these aspects, it makes her the most dangerous of Vanessa's minions or allies. As for Vanessa's other allies, they may have some strengths but they also have a few weaknesses and are stronger in some aspects than others. For example, Austin is strong strategically and competitively in the sense that he is very physical and can win competitions, but he is also a GeniusBruiser because he is very intelligent and strategic. Liz is strong competitively and sociallu, because Liz is competitive and wins competitions but she is also has a good social game because nobody actively dislikes her or targets her. Julia is strong socially as nobody really wanted to get rid of Julia because she was the nicer twin and she was not perceived as too much of a threat to anybody's game. Steve was strong competitively and strategically because he was capable of winning lots of competitions (particularly mental competitions) but he was also very smart and intelligent and always made strategic moves. Clay was strong socially and competitively because everyone liked him on a personal level and he has shown that he can be very physical because he is athletic and competitive (even though he did not win alot of competitions). Despite all of the others' strengths and skill sets that contributed to the well being of the alliance, Shelli was the most dangerous minion working for Vanessa.
* DemotedToDragon: Although Shelli is not really an outright villain and is instead, more of an AntiHero or at the darkest, an AntiVillain, Shelli is definitely the strongest player next to Vanessa. It appears that Shelli is the most forthright strongest player and is the biggest threat to the house but in hindsight, Shelli is merely working for an even bigger game threat in Vanessa, who is revealed to be TheManBehindTheMan. Vanessa appeared to not be the strongest player in the beginning because she was so under the radar and did not seem like she was getting all of the blood on her hands or that she was doing all of the dirty work. Shelli was the one who was getting her hands doing and doing everything that Vanessa wanted. Every single target that Vanessa wanted out, Shelli would end up obliging, even if Shelli was the one in power. So, although Shelli was the very obvious threat, Vanessa was the quiet threat (which makes Vanessa more dangerous and deadly for everyone's game).
* DevourTheDragon: Although Vanessa is not directly responsible for Shelli (and Clay's) demise in the game, she definitely had some influence as to why Shelli should go home over her. After Shelli was nominated alongside Clay during Week 6, Shelli had felt somewhat betrayed by Vanessa because she felt that Vanessa may have thrown her under the bus. Vanessa confronted Shelli about Shelli giving her the cold shoulder. Taking it as an insult that Shelli would be willing to shun Vanessa, Vanessa then proceeds to throw Shelli under the bus to all of the other houseguests by trying to say that Shelli was the one who was responsible for Jason going home (in which she was). This made the target on Shelli's back even bigger than before. After Clay was evicted, Vanessa ends up on the block next to Shelli. Although Vanessa does not directly throw Shelli to the wolves when she campaigns to the other houseguests to stay in the house, she manages to indirectly make arguments as to why Shelli is a bigger threat and why she is more dangerous. As a result, Shelli ends up being evicted by a unanimous vote in Week 7, even though the original target was Vanessa.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Along with Clay, her eviction (which made her the first houseguest to be sent to the Jury House) confirmed the downfall of the Sixth Sense and equalized both sides of the house.
* TheDragon: For Vanessa in the first half of the game. Although Shelli was a power player and had much social and strategic pull over the other houseguests (namely her other alliance members), she was pretty much doing all of the dirty work for Vanessa. It could even be argued that Shelli was Vanessa's #1 ally in the game and the two had UndyingLoyalty to one another. They had even talked about going to the Final 2 together. In the grand scheme of things, Shelli may be a strong player who can win competitions and is strongly strategic but she is nothing more than a minion for Vanessa.
* EternallyPearlyWhiteTeeth: Just take a look at Shelli's teeth and see how sparkling white, straight and perfect they really are. On elf the first features that many fans often notice about Shelli's appearance is her smile and the fact that her teeth are so noticeable because of how white they are. Some fans even comment that Shelli's teeth are too large for her mouth and they speculate that her teeth may actually be fake or that they might be veneers or caps. Shelli's teeth are so perfect because of their shape and whiteness that either she loves her toothbrush, loves going to the dentist, stays away from sugar, or has veneers.
* GirlyGirl: Shelli describes herself as one, but one who is not afraid to get her hands dirty... which makes sense considering she works in interior design. She is obviously very girly because of her love for dresses, makeup, doing her hair and floral things. But just because she's feminine doesn't mean that she doesn't have a very edgy and tough side to her and she is definitely a GirlyBruiser.
* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: Clay and Shelli convincing Vanessa to backdoor Jason instead of ejecting Austin not only exposed the Sixth Sense, but got BOTH of them nominated the next week when James, one of the three houseguests in the alliance opposing Sixth Sense, won [=HoH=] with no [=BoB=] twist, which lead to Clay's eviction, and then she had to face the block ''again'' the following week, with Vanessa, when her alliance couldn't regain the [=HoH=]. She didn't survive this time.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: In the Week 6 HOH endurance competition, Shelli (knowing that winning a third HOH would put a bigger target on her and can't win the competition) makes a deal with James to let him win, [[ThePromise on the agreement]] that he not put her, Clay or John up for eviction. Since he agreed to the deal in front of the other houseguests, Shelli trusted that James would stay true to his word. The problem? He (like Jackie and Meg) wanted to avenge Jason's unexpected nomination and eviction that came about after the backdoor plan on Austin fell through, and decides to put Shelli and Clay up anyway, believing that they were responsible for the blindside. This leads to Clay leaving the House pre-jury and began the descent of Sixth Sense.
* ManipulativeBitch: Who would ever thought that she would be one of the major strategists in this season? Jason, upon his exit, referred to Shelli as "evil personified" when noting how she and Clay have been running the game. Live Feeders agree with this, seeing her try to deny any wrongdoings and lying most of the time.
* NiceGirl: While she is a friendly person for the most part, it's partly for this reason that one of Shelli's main objectives when she is HOH is (like many a BB contestant) to get as little blood on her hands as possible. The thought of even putting Audrey up for eviction even drove Shelli to tears at one point in Week 4, even though she quickly found out that Audrey was kinda manipulative and dramatic. In addition, she chose not to campaign against showmance Clay (who chose to do the same, but campaigned against ''himself'' instead) when the two were put up for eviction.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She's 33, but looks closer in age to her showmance Clay, who's ten years younger.
* PetTheDog: Shelli was one of the few houseguests who tried to keep Audrey in the game, feeling that she didn't get a fair shot... but Audrey's paranoia that Shelli would place her on the block and her resulting mistrust of Shelli, Clay and Vanessa for this reason in Week 4 (precipitating after Shelli told Jason that Audrey was the one who claimed that Shelli was his target), led Shelli to make the initially heartbreaking (or in the case of some of the other houseguests, the "what took so long") decision to put Audrey up as a replacement eviction nominee.
* ShipTease: With Clay. Veers towards WillTheyOrWontThey as time goes on, culminating in their first kiss in Week 6, days before Clay's eviction.
* SouthernBelle: Shelli hails from Georgia and she is a Southern girl.
* SpontaneousChoreography: Led an impromptu musical number with Audrey, Jason and Meg about being in the Big Brother house. Shelli was the only one who stayed in tune.
* WomanScorned: Inverted. While Shelli soon became her regular smiling, friendly self after she worked through the shock of Clay being evicted from the game, the After Dark Crew's growing worry that she would turn the tables back on them for their role in Clay's ouster laid the groundwork for her eviction in Week 7, with the entire house flipping on Shelli (and in the process, on [=HoH=] Becky, since Vanessa was her target). The proverb was invoked word for word[[note]]Well, almost... he said "Hell hath no [[Main/{{Malaproper}} ''furry'']] like a woman scorned"[[/note]] by James in lampshading on their worry about Shelli gunning for them.

->'''HOH Evicted Under:''' JAMES (in Week 6).

* AllForNothing: His move to get evicted in place of Shelli fell into this when she was evicted after him and was unable to win reentry to the house.
* BashBrothers: With John. Clay had a very close relationship with John. Although they were aligned on a game level, it was obvious that John had BigBrotherInstinct towards Clay and was very protective of him. When Clay was nominated, John even cried for him. Clay also covered for John during an argument with Vanessa in Week 5, showing that he genuinely valued John as a person and that he had UndyingLoyalty to him.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Acted like a nice guy at first, but due to his aggressive tendencies and bullying attitude, this is the trope to use.
* BrainlessBeauty: Jason calls him this in a diary room confession. It's subverted. Double subverted when he ''asks everyone to evict him''.
* TheBrute: Clay is one of the bigger set guys of the season. He is very athletic and muscular, which makes sense since he played football. He also seems to have somewhat of an argumentative and confrontational personality. Clay is also incredibly HotBlooded and aggressive and has been in arguments with Da'Vonne, Audrey, Vanessa and James. He also displays bullying behaviour, as he did when he got int a fight with James before he was evicted. By the looks of it, it seemed like Clay was actually going to hit James as James even questioned Clay if he was going to hit him. Clay seems to like using his height and his muscles to intimidate people when things don't go his way.
* CallBack: Likens Jason to [[Characters/BigBrother14 Ian Terry]] based on his physical appearance.
* CelebrityResemblance: When Kevin Frazier "interviews" Shelli before the first "UF-Oh, No!" HOH competition, she mentions that Clay "looks exactly" like Creator/RyanReynolds in her Diary Room interview, after we see a clip of her mentioning that the real Ryan is the celebrity she would want to date. Considering the two ended up dated, this is
* DiscOneFinalBoss: His eviction, along with Shelli's afterward, began the dissolution of the Sixth Sense and equalized the sides of the house.
* TheDragon: For Vanessa, the BigBad of the season. Clay was one of Vanessa's most trusted allies and minions in the game who was doing all of her dirty work for her.
* DumbJock: Clay sis definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. He comes off as TheDitz and doesn't seem to be very intelligent and smart. Between himself and Shelli, it is clear that Shelli is the one who is the strategist and is the one that understands the aspects of the game. Clay also sounds incredibly uneducated when he speaks and he comes off as TheUnintelligible.
* EverythingIsBigInTexas: Clay is originally from Texas and he could be considered TheBigGuy because of his height and his athletic or HeroicBuild.
* FarmBoy: Grew up and lives on a farm, where his mom also has an animal sanctuary.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: It goes by pretty fast but in his introduction segment in the season premiere, but you can see him bottle feeding a raccoon and a goat. Considering his mom works as a rehabilitator for wildlife, this is to be expected.
* HeroicSacrifice: Insisted on being considered as a pawn in their Week 2 plan to get Da'Vonne out the house as a last-ditch option in case Shelli couldn't find someone else to volunteer. Shelli, obviously, was against it; luckily for them, Austin and Vanessa end up getting them to put Meg up as the pawn instead.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Clay and Shelli convincing Vanessa to backdoor Jason instead of ejecting Austin not only exposed the Sixth Sense, but got ''both'' of them nominated the next week when James, one of the three houseguests in the alliance opposing Sixth Sense, won [=HoH=] with no [=BoB=] twist, which lead to Clay's eviction and began the derailment of his alliance.
* HotBlooded: Many see him as this and a bully. He has gotten into some pretty big arguments with Da'Vonne (in Week 1) and Audrey (in Week 4), blamed Vanessa for the botched backdoor plan (that he and Shelli had a hand in changing) on Austin after he and Shelli are put up for eviction and got into such a heated an argument with James (thanks to John's headgames) that the two looked as if they were about to get into a fight (both in Week 6). If the latter happened, while this would have granted Clay's wish to be the one out of him and Shelli to be evicted, Clay likely would have been expelled from the game pre-ceremony (which would have meant he wouldn't return for the finale a la [[Characters/BigBrother11 Chima)]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: After he and Shelli's eviction nominations are sealed after HOH James wins the Power of Veto in Week 6, Clay decides to campaign against ''himself'' to keep Shelli in the game (the couple had earlier agreed not to campaign against each other, with both honoring their word). Although most of the other houseguests were leaning towards taking out Shelli at first, Clay gets his wish in the end, getting evicted in a landslide 9-0 vote. YMMV whether his decision to sacrifice his own game for Shelli was a really sweet move or warrants a "what are you thinking?!" for giving up a chance at winning $500,000. It may fall into the latter when she was evicted the next week anyway. Even moreso since he was the last houseguest to be evicted pre-jury, meaning he and Shelli didn't see each other until the finale, since was still part of the game as a jury member (she had a chance to reenter the house, but lost to John).
* LastOfHisKind: Clay is the last houseguest to be evicted pre-jury.
* LikesOlderWomen: Had a showmance with Shelli.
* LovableJock: He's a football player and pretty nice especially to animals. Subverted, though as he has a tendency to be...
* MrFanservice: He's built like a brick house and isn't afraid to show it off.
* PetTheDog: His relationship with Shelli was one of his few redeeming qualities.
* RunningGag: See TheUnintelligible.
* ShipTease: With Shelli.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Both him and Vanessa say in episode 17, "I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place".
* SuicideByCop: Asked to be evicted.
* TheUnintelligible: Clay apparently sometimes mumbles when he talks. This is referenced in Episode 18 (Week 6), which featured a montage of his tendency to slip into incoherent speech, complete with subtitles.

->'''HOH Evicted Under:''' VANESSA (in Week 5)

* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Jason was evicted and he finished in 13th place. During the week that he went home, he had been blindsided when Vanessa had decided to backdoor him without any warning. As a result of being blindsided, Jason didn't really stand a chance in fighting for himself.
* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: Unlike last season's resident jolly gay guy who was denounced for being incredibly ruthless and conceited, Jason is very beloved among fans and was even voted to compete in Big Brother: Over The Top.
* AgentPeacock: Jason is CampGay and highly effeminate in his personality, attitude and appearance. But his effeminacy doesn't prevent him from being one of the strongest physical competitors of the game.
* AlphaBitch: A male variant. He's very catty. Though not as bad as Frankie.
* AndThisIsFor: Said this after evicting Audrey.
* AscendedFanboy: Jason is a huge super fan of Big Brother, having watched even the foreign versions.
* BadassGay: Jason is the sole gay male houseguest of the season and he was one of the strongest competitors.
* BadassBoast: Jason is definitely the type of person to call people out when they mess up.
* BrutalHonesty: Jason says exactly what is on his mind and he does not seem to care what other people think. He is strongly opinionated and is not afraid to express those opinions.
* CampGay: He lampshades how obvious his sexuality is.
* CatchPhrase: "Oh my lanta!"
* GayBestFriend: To Da'Vonne most notably.
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He's the only cast member who smokes.
* [[GossipyHens Gossipy Hen]]: A rare male example: he told the other houseguests that Da'Vonne figured out that Liz and Julia are twins, cramping Da'Vonne's gameplay in the process by making it impossible to use the info to get Shelli to put Liz up against Da'Vonne as a nominee for eviction in Week 2. He does it again when Austin sells out Julia, and this ultimately leads to his own eviction – after Austin was initially set to be the original target, before Vanessa reconsidered the move.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His gossip tendencies ''are'' his undoing when it came to alerting the house about the twins, selling out Austin in the process and being the reason for his backdooring and eviction, but he can take solace knowing Vanessa reneging on their deal to backdoor Austin exposed her alliance and may have started its disintegration regardless when Jason's ally James won [=HoH=] and got Clay – one of Vanessa's other alliance members – evicted after him, followed by Shelli's eviction the following week, with Vanessa ending up the next target.
* HollywoodNewEngland: Jason is from Massachusetts which going by his heavy Bostonian accent, it's pretty much a dead giveaway.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His revealing of the twin twist courtesy of Austin started the dominoes falling to Sixth Sense losing their advantage in the game.
* VerbalTic: Calls everyone "boo".

->'''HOH Evicted Under:''' SHELLI (in Week 4)

* AHouseDivided: Many of the houseguests want Audrey out because of her backstabbing behavior, but some (particularly, Vanessa) are hesitant to do so, with Da'Vonne even suggesting the reason why is because they don't want to seem transphobic for evicting her so soon in the game. Vanessa even stated this as her reason why she opted not to put Audrey up for eviction during her HOH reign in Week 3 was because of the UnfortunateImplications that might arise, given Vanessa is involved in organizations helping the LGBT community. The scales fall out of her favor in Week 4, when she drives away her remaining allies with her growing insecurity about her safety in the game... ''after'' previously feeling comfortable about being secure.
* '''AlasPoorVillain''': Even though Audrey caused so much drama and problems in the house, it is absolutely heartbreaking to see Audrey's breakdown during the week that she was on the block. All of her allies had turned on her because they no longer trusted her or what she said anymore (and understandably so). After Shelli, Vanessa and Clay expressed to her face that they no longer trusted her, Audrey goes through a mega SanitySlippage from there. During the Veto meeting, Vanessa decides to remove Jason from the block with the Veto and Shelli names Audrey as the replacement nominee. However, Audrey is so distraught over her allies throiwng her under the bus, that she doesn't even show up to the Veto meeting. On top of it, Audrey is also a Have Not (but this does not stop her from breaking the rules and eating regular food). Audrey goes into severe depressive mode when she decides to isolate herself from the rest of the house and secludes herself (wearing a blanket and sunglasses) in the Have Not room. She also goes to the DR and spends hours in there, which makes the other houseguests concerned that she may have self evicted because she is so emotionally drained. In addition, Audrey also receives a penalty vote at the live eviction for breaking the Have Not rules. Although Audrey created so much problems in the house and started so many lies about everyone on top of playing a very poor game, one cannot help but feel strong sympathy for Audrey and her situation. Audrey was definitely dealt a bad hand that week and the game definitely took a major emotional toll on her. It was not surprising to see how much better Audrey had looked when she was evicted and finally out of the house. It was clear that the Big Brother house was a toxic environment for Audrey.
* AttentionWhore: Audrey seems to love attention and being the centre of it. She does very out there things in the house that will gain attention and sympathy from other people. An example of her attention seeking behavior is her constantly making up unnecessary lies about other houseguests in order to start arguments in the house. Audrey seems to thrive on the concept of drama. She loves to stir the pot and call attention to herself, even if it makes her a target for the other houseguests. Another example of Audrey's attention seeking ways is during the week when she was backdoored and was a Have Not. Audrey decided to defy Big Brother rules by eating regular food as a Have-Not which was basically her lashing out and throwing a tantrum for her allies turning against her because of her shady actions. She also did not show up to the Veto meeting, a meeting in which she was being backdoored or nominated. After all of her allies turned on her and she was backdoored, she spent the entire rest of the week not speaking to anyone and secluding and isolating herself in the Have Not room. She also spent hours and hours in the DR, which led to many houseguests talking about the possilbity of her leaving the game or self evicting. It is obvious that Audrey's behavior before she went on the block and after she went on the block was a cry for sympathy and attention from the other houseguests. Many of the houseguests physically shunned her but she did manage to get the other houseguests to talk or discuss her and her strange behavior. Audrey's antics throughout the course of her time in the game was all about gaining attention.
* TheBigGirl: Audrey is one of the larger set and taller women of the season. According to her, she's about 5'9" or 5'10" and she pretty much towers all of the other girls in the house. When she wears heels, she's even taller and starts pushing the 6'0" range.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Notes this upon meeting Jason, given that they are both part of the LGBT community (Jason is gay and Audrey is a transgender female). In fact, she stated that if anyone was going to be one of the first two HOH's, she was glad it was Jason, since they were "bonded by culture". However, even though they are both part of the same community, Jason has stated that he was sick of Audrey because he was tired of her unecessary lies and antics which led to unecessary drama and chaos in the house.
* BlatantLies: In Week 2, Audrey claims Vanessa is the one who tried to start an all-girls alliance, only for Vanessa to reveal she had nothing to do with it. Da'Vonne ended up calling a house meeting and calling her out on her lies. It was then that Audrey's lies about other people caused her to have a huge target on her back and after that situation, nobody, including her own allies (such as Clay, Shelli, and Vanessa), no longer trusted Audrey and they threw her to the wolves. The point is that audrey's biggest downfall in the game was the constant lying that wasn't even strategic but was used to start drama and arguments in the house.
* ConsummateLiar: One part of Audrey's gameplay that she used often was coming up with lies to put targets on other houseguests' backs, something she was caught by those same houseguests – and others – in doing. Unfortunately for her, it dramatically backfired and instead of her lies causing other houseguests to be targeted or seen as threats, it ended up putting a large target on her. By Week 2, everyone was beyond sick of Audrey and nobody believed anything that she ever said anymore, simply because she constantly lied so much.
* '''DramaQueen''': See AttentionWhore. Audrey thrives on drama. It is why she always likes to stir the pot and make up lies about the other houseguests in attempts to get everyone to turn on each other. She also seems to get off on starting fights with other people and letting chaos ensue. Audrey also showed that she is an extremely dramatic person in that when she was nominated and all of her allies turned against her, she isolated herself from everyone and did not speak to anyone. She also spent hours and hours in the DR, which made her come off as a little unhinged and emotionally unstable. It is uncertain of Audrey's behavior that week was actually real or if she was just conducting those antics because she was being dramatic and wanted sympathy and attention from everyone else. Unfortunately for her, everyone knew what Audrey was up to and they were already sick and tired of her behavior and antics that the majority of the house did not feel sorry for her and could not wait to get her out of the house. The combination of Audrey's penchant for starting drama, starting fights with other houseguests, creating unnecessary lies about others and her odd behavior were her ultimate downfall in the game.
* [[DeathByIrony Eviction by Irony]]: Audrey's BB profile interview states that she believes that fear is a "illusion"[[note]]Spiders being her only ''legitimate'' fear[[/note]]. The events of Week 4 that led to her SanitySlippage and eviction illustrated that she isn't as immune to fear as she made herself out to be as she began to express this emotion mixed with grave mistrust that Vanessa, Clay and Shelli would not try to keep her in the game, driving away her only allies in the process.
* GenreBlind: As James pointed out, it's not a good idea to have an overbloated alliance in the game. Despite already being in an alliance with James, Jason and Da'vonne – with James adding Clay and Meg to it later on, she then had the questionable idea of adding two more housemates (Jeff and Shelli[[note]]the latter of whom was already in a side alliance with her and Da'Vonne[[/note]]) to it.
* HystericalWoman: During the week that her game completely crumbled to pieces, Audrey had clearly began to lose it mentally and emotionally and went through a severe SanitySlippage. Once her game blew up and she ended up being nominated by Shelli, she spent the entire week secluding herself in the Have Not room on a daily basis and would only come out to go to the washroom and the Diary Room. The other houseguests constantly commented how Audrey was crazy and coming across as mentally and emotionally unstable. It was evident that the game of Big Brother just didn't suit someone who was in Audrey's mental position since she clearly couldn't handle the pressure and it caused her to have a dramatic meltdown.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: No one got to tell her, not even Julie Chen when Audrey got evicted, that Liz and Julia are twins. Whether or not the twins decided not to tell her or whether it was out of their control is unknown.
* ManipulativeBitch: Jace and Da'Vonne have accused Audrey of being this. This quickly puts a target on Audrey's back by Week 2, after it's revealed she lied about Vanessa starting an all-girls alliance.
* MediationBackfire: She tries to help calm Clay and Da'Vonne's dispute in Week 1, by trying to calm Da'Vonne down (knowing her hot head could be a liability to the both of them) and convincing Clay to apologize. It only manages to piss off Da'Vonne, though, since she ends up believing Audrey is manipulating her.
* {{Meganekko}}: Audrey is often seen wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
* NiceHat: Audrey is frequently seen wearing either a red or blue knit hat, or a blue tie-dye headband.
* PetTheDog: When James gives her an omelet, it's one of the nicest and most sympathetic gestures of the whole season. Even after being the villain, somebody still cares about her enough to treat her like family. But in a cruel twist of irony, eating that omelet constitutes a penalty vote for breaking the Have Not food rules that dictate she must eat the designated houseguest slop and only slop. However, knowing she's lost the game, and that James's intentions are pure and that he doesn't want to bait her into a penalty, and having eaten nothing at all for quite a while, she goes and eats it anyway.
* '''SanitySlippage''': Gradually becomes more unhinged as time goes on. At one point, Audrey becomes very confident she's safe in the game, but by Week 4, she starts questioning whether Shelli, Clay and Vanessa will even keep her off the block, leading her to push away the few people left in the house who didn't try to drive her out because of her manipulative/hard gameplay, getting into an argument with the three. She also became the first houseguest in the history of ''Big Brother'' to skip out on a major gameplay meeting by sleeping in the Have-Not room (it was the Veto meeting, and she was put up as a replacement when the Veto was used). For a few days prior to her eviction, Audrey became so sullen (to the point of slinking between two rooms with a blanket around her, not talking to anyone) that the other houseguests questioned whether she'd bail out of the game before the Week 4 eviction night... she didn't and faced her eviction head on and dressed to the nines.
* StatuesqueStunner: Is among the tallest of the girls (roughly the same height as Becky), and [[SheCleansUpNicely cleans up pretty nicely]] when she is not hiding behind a blanket. Shown to full effect on Week 4's eviction night. Also noted in the season premiere, making her revelation to them that she was originally born and raised as a male all the more surprising to the houseguests.
* UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}}: The first ever to be a contestant on the U.S. version of ''Big Brother''. Audrey noted in her exit interview that she was surprised at how much the other houseguests accepted her after revealing that she was this (which is great, given that ''BB'' has had a history of certain past contestants making pretty offensive comments against gay/lesbian and minority contestants; Audrey's ostracization later in the game had entirely to do with her hardline and deceptive gameplay). Unfortunately, Cody Nickson of the nineteenth season of the show did exactly what everyone else managed to avoid and outright bashed her sex change.
* '''VillainousBreakdown''': Oh. BOY. When Audrey went up on the block, she completely lost it, shutting down on a personal level, shrouding herself in a gray blanket and black sunglasses and cowering under them like a celebrity desperately trying to avoid the paparazzi. For the longest time, she simply would not get out of bed and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments James chose to make and bring an omelet to her]] because she wouldn't go into the kitchen to come eat (she eventually ate it and enjoyed it). She spent ''hours'' locked away in the Diary Room because it was the only place she could have true peace, in complete solitude with the door locked from the inside. She would sometimes emerge to either eat or use the bathroom, but then almost immediately afterward return to her DR hideaway and keep on sulking. Eventually, it got to the point where Austin was griping at her for not being able to take what she dished out when it was her turn to take the heat for what she did and the houseguests started wondering if Audrey was going to walk from the game entirely. She managed to pull herself together long enough to endure the inevitable eviction, but what she did beforehand was so over the top, fans have come to christen it "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9lv3VbxzBM Audrey's Imperial March]]", as she looked like a [[Franchise/StarWars Sith Lord]] in her gloomy getup.

->'''HOH Evicted Under:''' VANESSA (in Week 3)

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Jeff caught a lot of flak and some exclamations of Main/{{Squick}} from BB Live Feed viewers in Week 2, when he appeared to have done this (a jostling motion could be seen from Jeff's side while they were under the covers) while having a seemingly mundane conversation in bed with Julia (playing as Liz) about Audrey's eye color. Made all the more worse by these two facts: he pointed out a "darker gray... kinda sticky" stain on Julia's shirt, with Jeff even unintentionally making it seem that he let loose some... bodily fluids – and the issue that Julia was facing away from him the whole time (she had a sleep mask covering her eyes, too, mind you). Another camera angle pointed out that the stain on Julia's shirt was there already. As to whether Jeff did please himself, that's still a mystery.
* AmateurSleuth: After Da'Vonne and Jason reveal their inclinations that Liz is a twin to the house, Jeff is the one who constantly tried to get the truth out in some way.
* TheAtoner: Jeff feigned this. In an attempt to save his game, he plays the remorseful role with the two he betrayed, laying it on real thick with Shelli... even slinking his hoodie across his face in shame. It doesn't help.
* BackstabBackfire: Jeff makes waves in the house by telling James and Austin that he is considering going after two members of his own alliance, Clay and Shelli... and ends up getting caught by Vanessa (via a plan she concocted with Austin) lying about it.
* {{Crossover}}: Jeff and Jackie first competed on ''Characters/TheAmazingRace26''.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: By throwing Clay and Shelli under the bus, two people that he was originally supposed to be aligned with and working with, Jeff did nothing but seal his fate. Plus, him flirting with Liz in front of Austin was such a giant no-no and that also ended up putting a nail in his Big Brother coffin.
* JustFriends: Jeff said this about his and Jackie's relationship in his Exit Interview with Julie Chen. It seemed that maybe Jackie may have had more feelings for Jeff than he did for her.
* LoveTriangle: Ends up in a flirtatious relationship with Liz... with full knowledge that Austin liked her. It only manages to create a bigger target on his back with Austin (though it does help him garner a vote to save him from eviction with Liz, which didn't count for much given he got voted out).
* OnlyFriend: Jackie claimed Jeff was her only friend while in the house.

However, this didn't prevent her from being evicted as everyone else with the exception of Audrey and Jason voted her out). [[/note]]

->'''HOH Evicted Under:''' SHELLI (in Week 2)

* ActionMom: Subverted. Although it appeared as though Da'Vonne would be a strong game player and a good competitor, she's actually one of the worst players and competitors in the game. Plus, her strategy wasn't so good either.
* [[AngryBlackMan Angry Black Woman]]: Da'Vonne definitely plays this trope straight. She has a rather ferocious temper whenever she's provoked. When she gets angry, she becomes extremely dramatic and she doesn't hold back her emotions when she's telling people off. She plays into the stereotype of being a Black woman who absolutely loses it when she's irritated or angered. In fact, her quick temper and HotBlooded personality helped to contribute to her becoming a huge target so early on in the game.
* BlackBestFriend: To Jason but also to Meg and Jackie to a lesser extent. He was her closest friend and ally in the game although Meg and Jackie were Da'Vonne's close friends as well.
* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Da'Vonne is the sole Black woman of the season and the second evicted houseguest. In addition, she's the first POC to be evicted in the game and she doesn't even manage to make it to jury on top of it.
* BrutalHonesty: Ooh boy. If anything was the downfall of Da'Vonne's game, then it's most definitely her desire to always be frank, blunt and tell he truth, no mater how bad or nasty it is. In fact, it was Da'Vonne's brutal honesty that costed her the game and made her a bigger target.
* CowardlyLion: Boldly stated in her exit interview that she felt that the other houseguests acted like this for not trying to put Audrey up on the block in Week 2 (possibly not knowing that that's what Becky wanted to do had she become the sole HOH instead of Shelli), out of fear of it would look bad for them to target her so early in the game and seem anti-transgender.
* HollywoodCalifornia: Da'Vonne is originally from a city in California called Inglewood. Inglewood is known to be a predominantly Black or African-American city. Despite being from Inglewood originally, her current residence is Los Angeles.
* HairTriggerTemper: Shows that once she's provoked into anger, her temper can flare off like a firecracker within a second. Her nasty temper was showcased when she discovered that Audrey had been spreading numerous lies about Da'Vonne and other houseguests. When she confronted Audrey, her angry shone bright red and she certainly didn't hold back in letting Audrey have the luxury of experiencing her violent and hot temper.
* HotBlooded: Shows this in Week 1, when he gets ticked off at Jeff (whom merely asked her if she was "creepin'" in one of the bedrooms, while she was doing her mental preparations for the counting comp) and Clay (when he tried to mediate the dispute by coming to get her side, and Da' accuses Clay of sending Jeff to spy on her).
* InSeriesNickname: "Mama Da'" or "Momma Day". She's referred to this nickname because she was the only female houseguest that was a mother. The fans eventually caught onto calling her by this nickname and now she's constantly known as it by the public. However, according to Da'Vonne, she actually dislikes the nickname.
* [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Missing The Point]]: Da' does this after Audrey tells her story about her transition, believing that her story could be a help to their alliance. Even though she has lied later in the game, it's highly unlikely that Audrey told the story to help her in the game, or exaggerated the details for sympathy:
-->'''Da'Vonne:''' "So Audrey's telling her story, and I'm just, like, 'OK, I do feel bad for you', but at the same time I'm feeling you adding a little salt and pepper to the story. You spicin' that up, mama. And I'm watchin' everybody in the room eatin' out the palm of her hand, and I'm thinkin', 'Yes, girl, pull them in! This is exactly what we need!' This is excellent for our alliance. Keep it up!"
* RejectedApology: To Jeff in Week 1, by way of playing it off as if she accepted the apology to Jeff's face, knowing he was trying to do damage control.
* SassyBlackWoman: Da'Vonne herself says she becomes the "chick from Inglewood" when he gets livid.
* TeamMom: She's a single mother and has a baby daughter named Kadence. She's also the only female houseguest that is a mother this season. So naturally, she takes on the maternal role of the house.
* TokenMinority: Da'Vonne is the only Black women cast this season, and she, along with James, are the only people who aren't Caucasian and are POC. However, Jackie could also be considered a minority as she's Hispanic.
* YouLookFamiliar: Although this was discovered until after her eviction, Da'Vonne was featured in Todrick Hall's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q7R9qFcrbI flash-mob]] of Beyoncé's End Of Time which was shot in a Target store (around the 2:51 mark Da'Vonne can be clearly seen).

->'''HOH Evicted Under:''' JAMES (in Week 1)

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Masturbated while sharing a bed with Johnny Mac on one of the first nights of the live feeds. ...Ew...
* ArchEnemy: Audrey. She becomes this for him toward the end of Week 1. He was convinced she was solely responsible for spearheading the plan to get him out of the house, when it was James who was the pointman of the operation... Audrey was a major part of the plan, just not exactly to the extent he believed it to be[[note]]though she did throw out a plan to backdoor the HOH left standing to Jace, just to placate him, which he called Audrey out on[[/note]].
* BashBrothers: Quickly develops a bond with Austin after they first meet.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Jace appears to be wacky, laid-back and cool but he was ticked off enough in his lone week by the plan to backdoor him that he called out the eight-person alliance led by James for betraying him.
* BoyNextDoor: Jace is the epitome of an average yet attractive all-American guy. he's most definitely got the casual surfer boy look down pat.
* BrutalHonesty: Most definitely not afraid to call people out when he's pissed. When he found out that plan to have him backdoored, he went out of his way to call out the entire alliance (which consisted of eight people) for wanting go through with backdooring him.
* TheBully: Downplayed. Jace wasn't a completely mean person who bullied and personally attacked everyone in the house. But the manner in which he treated Steve was very menacing and unpleasant. The fans criticized Jace for trying to use intimidation tactics on Steve. Despite the minor kerfuffle with Steve, Jace admitted that he actually does like Steve on a personal level.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Jace is definitely a little bit quirky and on the eccentric side but he's still very much intelligible. The manner in which he speaks makes him seem like he is a DumbBlonde who isn't aware of anything that's happening or going on.
* DeepSouth: Although Jace is currently living in California, he's actually originally from Georgia so he's very much a SouthernGentleman. Although his appearance would certainly have people fooled that he's from the South considering that he looks like a typical California SurferDude.
* TheDitz: What can you expect from a SurferDude like Jace? He seemed to be very unaware of what was going on in the game 90% of the time. At times, he acted like a typical athletic meathead.
* DumbBlond: Jace is most definitely not the smartest person nor is he aware of anything that is happening in the game. He seems to be out of the loop in the game more than anything.
* GenkiBoy[=/=]{{Keet}}: Jace is extremely energetic and high energy. His personality is very much like a surfer dude.
* HistoryRepeats: [[Characters/BigBrother16 Once again, the house streaker is the first one to go.]]
* HollywoodCalifornia: Jace currently resides in Venice Beach, California. However, he's originally from [[DeepSouth Dunwoody, Georgia]]. So while he has the appearance of a California surfer guy, he's actually a SouthernGentleman.
* {{Jerkass}}: Jace can definitely be mean and unpleasant, especially when he's betrayed or crossed in any way. The manner in which he treated Steve was not so kind and he came across as TheBully towards him.
* JerkJock: To Steve early on. He grew to like him though.
* MrFanservice: Considering that he's shirtless for the majority of the time, it makes sense why he would classify as someone who would appeal to the female viewing population.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: He streaked in front of the other houseguests on Week 1, though not everyone was that amused.
* OnlyFriend: While he was in the game for a short period of time, Austin was pretty much Jace's only ally and friend in the game and the two instantly bonded and became BashBrothers.
* SurferDude: Garden-variety California brand. Even the manner in which he talks is very California and surfer line.
* TallPoppySyndrome: Targeted and ultimately evicted because of his strength and athleticism. He was seen as a huge threat and the house felt that he needed to be taken out right away before he would beast in competitions.
* TotallyRadical: Considering that he's a California boy and he's very much a SurferDude, he's most likely someone that also loves to skateboard and lives on the beach. His way of speaking is also very California.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Jace is seen shirtless as much as Austin and even more than Clay... even in Week 1 alone.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Jace was the first houseguest of the season and was evicted by a 12-1 vote, with Audrey voting for Jackie to throw him off it was her. However, Jace did get quite a bit of screen time in the five episodes he was in. Pouring salt on the wound of being the first one out, since the memory wall in the ''Big Brother'' house only has room for headshots of 16 houseguests, Jace's photo was removed and replaced with Julia's once she entered the game full-time at the end of Week 5.

[[folder: Vanessa Ashley Rousso (Jury Member #9)]]

* DramaQueen: Vanessa was the biggest drama queen in the entire house. She would get overly emotional about almost ''everything''. She seemed to thrive off of starting drama with other houseguests. Hence, the reason why she resorted to displaying intimidating and bullying behaviour. Vanessa’s MO was to start fights with houseguests so that they would become a target. Any houseguest that Vanessa wanted out would end up having some kind of an altercation with her. Vanessa would then end up making the other houseguest look like the bad guy by blaming them instead of taking responsibility for her own behaviour and actions. She would then cry and try to pass herself off as a poor victim that was done wrong by the person she started a fight with. Vanessa has cried so much in the house that she seriously rivals Amber Sivayus (from ''Big Brother 8''), [=GinaMarie=] Zimmerman (from ''Big Brother 15'') and Helen Kim (from ''Big Brother 15'') for the title of “Houseguest Who Has Cried The Most In Big Brother History”. Drama queen is basically Vanessa’s first, middle and last name.

* HystericalWoman: Vanessa is genuinely insane and crazy. She has constant emotional breakdowns and she goes through FreakOut nearly on a daily basis. She is constantly seen to be crying or breaking down even at the smallest things. She can't seem to keep a control over her emotions and she displays constant erratic behavior. Because of her constant emotional breakdowns, many fans have been led to believe that Vanessa is definitely mentally and emotionally unstable. Even though she hasn't been officially diagnosed with any mental illness, there is no doubt that she suffers from some kind of mental disorder(s) considering how overly emotional and unstable she comes across.

** BetaBitch: For Vanessa, who is the ultimate AlphaBitch of the season. Vanessa is the strongest player of the season and it the biggest threat of the house but Shelli is her right hand woman willing to do all of Vanessa's bidding out of undying loyalty to her. If Vanessa is not the one telling the other alliance members (the other members of the Sixth Sense alliance) what to do in the game, it is often Shelli that is the one who is willing to call the shots. Shelli has proclaimed numerous times, both in the house and in the DR, that Vanessa is her closest ally in the game next to Clay and that she would always be willing to fight for Vanessa if she were in trouble. Although Shelli is a strategic and smart player on her own, Vanessa still pretty much has control over Shelli and what she wants to do as she always influences Shelli's game moves.
** CoDragons: Shelli is this along with Austin, Liz, Julia, Steve and Clay for Vanessa. All of them are TheDragon for Vanessa and all of them were working for her and doing all of her dirty work. Even though all of them are working for Vanessa, all of them have different strengths and weaknesses in the game. For example, Shelli is strong competitively, strategically and socially. Shelli is strong competitively because she can win competitions with ease, especially physical competitions. She is also strong socially, because everyone in the house loves Shelli on a personal level and gets along with her. And she is also strong strategically, because she is the smartest and most strategic player in the game next to Vanessa. Because Shelli is strong at all of these aspects, it makes her the most dangerous of Vanessa's minions or allies. As for Vanessa's other allies, they may have some strengths but they also have a few weaknesses and are stronger in some aspects than others. For example, Austin is strong strategically and competitively in the sense that he is very physical and can win competitions, but he is also a GeniusBruiser because he is very intelligent and strategic. Liz is strong competitively and sociallu, because Liz is competitive and wins competitions but she is also has a good social game because nobody actively dislikes her or targets her. Julia is strong socially as nobody really wanted to get rid of Julia because she was the nicer twin and she was not perceived as too much of a threat to anybody's game. Steve was strong competitively and strategically because he was capable of winning lots of competitions (particularly mental competitions) but he was also very smart and intelligent and always made strategic moves. Clay was strong socially and competitively because everyone liked him on a personal level and he has shown that he can be very physical because he is athletic and competitive (even though he did not win alot of competitions). Despite all of the others' strengths and skill sets that contributed to the well being of the alliance, Shelli was the most dangerous minion working for Vanessa.
** DemotedToDragon: Although Shelli is not really an outright villain and is instead, more of an AntiHero or at the darkest, an AntiVillain, Shelli is definitely the strongest player next to Vanessa. It appears that Shelli is the most forthright strongest player and is the biggest threat to the house but in hindsight, Shelli is merely working for an even bigger game threat in Vanessa, who is revealed to be TheManBehindTheMan. Vanessa appeared to not be the strongest player in the beginning because she was so under the radar and did not seem like she was getting all of the blood on her hands or that she was doing all of the dirty work. Shelli was the one who was getting her hands doing and doing everything that Vanessa wanted. Every single target that Vanessa wanted out, Shelli would end up obliging, even if Shelli was the one in power. So, although Shelli was the very obvious threat, Vanessa was the quiet threat (which makes Vanessa more dangerous and deadly for everyone's game).
** DevourTheDragon: Although Vanessa is not directly responsible for Shelli (and Clay's) demise in the game, she definitely had some influence as to why Shelli should go home over her. After Shelli was nominated alongside Clay during Week 6, Shelli had felt somewhat betrayed by Vanessa because she felt that Vanessa may have thrown her under the bus. Vanessa confronted Shelli about Shelli giving her the cold shoulder. Taking it as an insult that Shelli would be willing to shun Vanessa, Vanessa then proceeds to throw Shelli under the bus to all of the other houseguests by trying to say that Shelli was the one who was responsible for Jason going home (in which she was). This made the target on Shelli's back even bigger than before. After Clay was evicted, Vanessa ends up on the block next to Shelli. Although Vanessa does not directly throw Shelli to the wolves when she campaigns to the other houseguests to stay in the house, she manages to indirectly make arguments as to why Shelli is a bigger threat and why she is more dangerous. As a result, Shelli ends up being evicted by a unanimous vote in Week 7, even though the original target was Vanessa.

* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: While she is a friendly person for the most part, it's partly for this reason that one of Shelli's main objectives when she is HOH is (like many a BB contestant) to get as little blood on her hands as possible. The thought of even putting Audrey up for eviction even drove Shelli to tears at one point in Week 4, even though she quickly found out that Audrey was kinda manipulative and dramatic. In addition, she chose not to campaign against showmance Clay (who chose to do the same, but campaigned against ''himself'' instead) when the two were put up for eviction.

* AlasPoorVillain: Even though Audrey caused so much drama and problems in the house, it is absolutely heartbreaking to see Audrey's breakdown during the week that she was on the block. All of her allies had turned on her because they no longer trusted her or what she said anymore (and understandably so). After Shelli, Vanessa and Clay expressed to her face that they no longer trusted her, Audrey goes through a mega SanitySlippage from there. During the Veto meeting, Vanessa decides to remove Jason from the block with the Veto and Shelli names Audrey as the replacement nominee. However, Audrey is so distraught over her allies throiwng her under the bus, that she doesn't even show up to the Veto meeting. On top of it, Audrey is also a Have Not (but this does not stop her from breaking the rules and eating regular food). Audrey goes into severe depressive mode when she decides to isolate herself from the rest of the house and secludes herself (wearing a blanket and sunglasses) in the Have Not room. She also goes to the DR and spends hours in there, which makes the other houseguests concerned that she may have self evicted because she is so emotionally drained. In addition, Audrey also receives a penalty vote at the live eviction for breaking the Have Not rules. Although Audrey created so much problems in the house and started so many lies about everyone on top of playing a very poor game, one cannot help but feel strong sympathy for Audrey and her situation. Audrey was definitely dealt a bad hand that week and the game definitely took a major emotional toll on her. It was not surprising to see how much better Audrey had looked when she was evicted and finally out of the house. It was clear that the Big Brother house was a toxic environment for Audrey.

* DramaQueen: See AttentionWhore. Audrey thrives on drama. It is why she always likes to stir the pot and make up lies about the other houseguests in attempts to get everyone to turn on each other. She also seems to get off on starting fights with other people and letting chaos ensue. Audrey also showed that she is an extremely dramatic person in that when she was nominated and all of her allies turned against her, she isolated herself from everyone and did not speak to anyone. She also spent hours and hours in the DR, which made her come off as a little unhinged and emotionally unstable. It is uncertain of Audrey's behavior that week was actually real or if she was just conducting those antics because she was being dramatic and wanted sympathy and attention from everyone else. Unfortunately for her, everyone knew what Audrey was up to and they were already sick and tired of her behavior and antics that the majority of the house did not feel sorry for her and could not wait to get her out of the house. The combination of Audrey's penchant for starting drama, starting fights with other houseguests, creating unnecessary lies about others and her odd behavior were her ultimate downfall in the game.

* SanitySlippage: Gradually becomes more unhinged as time goes on. At one point, Audrey becomes very confident she's safe in the game, but by Week 4, she starts questioning whether Shelli, Clay and Vanessa will even keep her off the block, leading her to push away the few people left in the house who didn't try to drive her out because of her manipulative/hard gameplay, getting into an argument with the three. She also became the first houseguest in the history of ''Big Brother'' to skip out on a major gameplay meeting by sleeping in the Have-Not room (it was the Veto meeting, and she was put up as a replacement when the Veto was used). For a few days prior to her eviction, Audrey became so sullen (to the point of slinking between two rooms with a blanket around her, not talking to anyone) that the other houseguests questioned whether she'd bail out of the game before the Week 4 eviction night... she didn't and faced her eviction head on and dressed to the nines.

[[folder: Jace Branden Agolli (1st Evicted Houseguest)]]

** CoDragons: Steve was this for Vanessa, the BigBad, throughout the majority of the game, alongside Austin, Julia, Liz, and Shelli. Steve served as TheMole to Vanessa, feeding her information that he gathered from other houseguests. In many ways, Steve being TheMole for Vanessa and working for her mirrors Ian being TheMole for Dan and working for him on ''Big Brother 14''. Steve and Vanessa made a two person alliance in the beginning of the game and even had a Final 2 deal, but neither of them had any intention of upholding their deal.
** DragonAscendant: SubvertedTrope. Steve does not take over the villain role at the end of the game. Instead, he is seen as an AntiHero or one of the "good guys" in comparison to Vanessa and Liz, who have been long time villains for the majority of the game. Steve evicts Vanessa at Final 3 and chooses to take Liz to the Final 2 instead. After Vanessa is evicted by Steve, it is Liz who becomes this trope as she wants to beat Steve in the Final 2 and sort of avenge the evictions of Vanessa and the rest of her alliance (Austin and Julia). Unfortunately for Liz, she fails as Steve beats her in the Final 2 by a 6-3 jury vote.
** DragonInChief: Even though Steve was never an actual villain, he was the biggest threat in the house. Vanessa may have been the BigBad but Steve was a more dangerous player than Vanessa because he was more quiet and subtle about his gameplay and his intentions. The majority of the game, it seemed as though Vanessa was the one pulling Steve's strings, but Steve had been plotting the demise of Vanessa for weeks. He finally went through with it when Steve won the final Head of Household and evicted Vanessa at Final 3.
** DragonTheirFeet: All throughout the game, Steve had been aligned with Vanessa, but when it came down to the Final 3, Steve chose to evict Vanessa and take Liz to the Final 2. Steve had no regrets in evicting Vanessa because he believed that she was the strongest player of the season and that she was also one of the strongest female players in the history of the game. Not to mention that Steve knew that if he took Vanessa to the Final 2, she would beat him.
** DragonWithAnAgenda: Although Steve was aligned with Vanessa, Steve had made it very clear that he had every intention of turning on Vanessa and cutting her when the time was right.Also, many of Steve's plans did not coincide with Vanessa's plans and as a a result, Steve (and Vanessa) began to lose trust in Vanessa. For example, Steve clearly wanted John too stay in the house as he was Steve's closest ally. On the other hand, Vanessa wanted to get rid of John because she saw him as a threat to her game. However, Steve won the battle against Vanessa when he evicted her at the Final 3.
** NobleTopEnforcer: Steve is MUCH nicer than Vanessa and way nicer than Vanessa's other minions, including Austin, Liz and Julia. It was very confusing for many fans as to why Steve was even aligned with someone as unlikeable as Vanessa, as Vanessa did not treat Steve very nicely for the most part. Many fans even argued that Vanessa did not deserve Steve's loyalty whatsoever, which is why the majority of fans were elated when Steve decided to cut her at Final 3.
** TheStarscream: Steve had planned on turning on Vanessa for quite some time and he did not have 100% trust in her nor did he have 100% loyalty to her. Even though Steve had made an alliance with Vanessa very early on in the game and they had made a pact, Steve started to realize how untrustworthy Vanessa was and that is when Steve had started plotting Vanessa's demise. Steve finally made the move against Vanessa by evicting her at the Final 3.
** VillainousFriendship: Even though Vanessa was the BigBad and Steve was TheDragon for her, the two did have a strong bond and friendship on a personal level. The two originally clicked and bonded at the very start of the game and even started a Final 2 alliance. They had numerous personal talks and discussions that were non game related. Vanessa would often have BigSisterInstinct towards Steve and would often treat him as a younger brother and Steve would look up to Vanessa as an older sister. Even though their loyalty to each other in the game eventually deteriorated, it was clear that Vanessa and Steve liked each other on a personal level. When Steve evicted Vanessa at Final 3, Steve showed extreme admiration for Vanessa and her game, stating that he believes that Vanessa is one of the best and strongest female players in the history of ''Big Brother''.

* TheStarscream: His alliance with Vanessa has seen him frequently lie directly to her face, something that she is very aware of. This almost resulted him being evicted before the second Double Eviction, but Vanessa also needed him to remain in the house knowing that eventually the Austwins would turn on her. He has mentioned several times that he would turn on Vanessa and Austwins as soon as he could and finally succeeded near the end.

* TheDragon:
** For Vanessa (who’s the BigBad of the season). Liz was in an alliance with Vanessa for the majority of the game called the “Sixth Sense”. Liz had strong loyalty to Vanessa for the vast majority of the game. Although, she became this role even more after Shelli was evicted. Liz liked to think that she was calling the shots and that she had power in the game, but in the end, she was nothing more than Vanessa's puppet for her to control. It didn't help that Liz lacked strategy and intelligence, so it made it even easier for Vanessa to treat her like a puppet. Liz has also referenced Vanessa being like the mother figure of their alliance, meaning that Liz perceived Vanessa as the one who had all of the control and the one that would be the one to call all of the shots in the game. Liz would also look to Vanessa to help her make decisions in the game. Other than Julia and Austin, Vanessa was the one person that Liz was most dependent on in the game.
** BetaBitch: Although Julia normally serves as Liz's BetaBitch to Liz's AlphaBitch (since they are very mean spirited and love to engage in the majority of the trash talking of other houseguests), Liz could be seen as the overall BetaBitch to Vanessa's AlphaBitch. Vanessa is actually the one who is the most dangerous player in the game and Liz pretty much does what Vanessa expects of her. Vanessa is the obvious leader of the "Sixth Sense" alliance and she controls everything that goes on. Liz sees Vanessa as her master and she often follows what she does. Liz is there along with Vanessa to plan out game moves or game plans. In many ways, Vanessa and Liz's relationship was similar to one of a master (Vanessa) and servant (Liz).
** CoDragons: With Austin, Julia, Shelli, and Clay for Vanessa. Liz has shown to be very loyal to Vanessa and has never turned on her. At least, not as of yet. However, there were times when Liz had thought about turning on Vanessa eventually, but that never came to pass. All of Vanessa's minions have strengths that help her in the game, including Liz. For example, Austin's strengths were social and strategic in that he had a very good social game and he was also one of the strongest strategists next to Vanessa. Julia's strength was her social game as nobody really targeted her or actively disliked her on a personal level. Shelli's strengths were social, strategic and competitive which means that she was the triple threat and did much of Vanessa's dirty work. Shelli was well liked by the majority of the house, was one of the stronger strategists next to Vanessa and Austin and won competitions easily, especially physical or endurance competitions. Clay's strengths were his social game and he was generally well liked by the other houseguests. Liz's strengths in this game were most competitive as she won quite a few competitions which was good for Vanessa's game because Liz ended up doing all of Vanessa's dirty work and getting all the blood of Vanessa's intended targets on her hands for Vanessa's benefit. In comparison to Julia, Liz's social game is not as strong as she is not as well liked as Julia because she does come across as more aggressive and emotional than Julia. Liz's competitiveness definitely benefited Vanessa's game in many ways and also strongly contributed to the strength of their alliance (the "Sixth Sense" alliance).
** DemotedToDragon: One would automatically think that Liz, along with Austin, are the true villains of the season, because of their unlikeable personalities and their mean spirited ways.However, when one really takes a look at the grand scheme of things in the game, Liz was merely a puppet in Vanessa's game. Vanessa is the one who is controlling everything in the house and Liz is one of Vanessa's many loyal minions who is willing to do all of Vanessa's bidding. Despite Liz and Austin being TheHeavy (the main villain of the season), they are nowhere near as influential or as dangerous as Vanessa.
** DevourTheDragon: Vanessa has been plotting the demise of Liz (and Julia) for weeks. And now it seems that as of Week 11, Liz’s time might finally be up in the game. Unfortunately for Vanessa, her plan to get rid of Julia and Austin worked, but it did not work when it came to Liz, because Liz ended up lasting longer than Vanessa in the end, because Steve chose to take Liz to the Final 2 over Vanessa.
** DragonAscendant: In a way, after Vanessa's shocking elimination in the Final 3, Liz became the last surviving member of the "Sixth Sense". Unfortunately for Liz, her sole strength was [[CripplingOverspecialization winning competitions]] and Steve exploited this flaw during Jury Questions and his Final Speech. He also made a point that Liz had been switching with Julia for nearly half of the entire game, which means that she basically missed out on a lot of what was going on the house. In trustingly enough, Vanessa did end up voting for Liz. The reason why Vanessa voted for Liz over Steve in the end is debatable amongst fans (some fans chalk it up to Vanessa being bitter and angry at Steve for evicting her and other fans feel that she voted for Liz out of loyalty).
** DragonTheirFeet: At Final 3, Steve had one the Final Head of Household, which would give him the opportunity to choose between taking Vanessa and Liz to the Final 2. Because Steve felt that Vanessa was the best player of the season and even argued that Vanessa was one of the best female players in Big Brother history, Steve chose to evict Vanessa over Liz, meaning that Steve took Liz to the Final 2, enduring that she wins at least a $50,000 runner up prize. Vanessa, as the BigBad of the season, was defeated by one of the good guys (Steve). Liz then wanted to beat Steve in the Final 2 to win the big prize but also to partially avenge Vanessa along with Julia and Austin (whom Steve also had a direct hand in evicting). Vanessa did end up voting for Liz to win over Steve; however, it was not enough as Steve defeated Liz in the Final 2 by a 6-3 vote.
** DragonWithAnAgenda: Although Liz has been in an alliance with Vanessa for most of the game, it is clear that Liz does not have any real loyalties to Vanessa in the long term. Her loyalties lie with first Julia and second, with Austin. Meaning that Liz will gladly backstab or cut Vanessa if she has to. Unfortunately for Liz, Vanessa has beaten her to the punch as Liz was nominated along with Austin in Week 11. It takes a turn again when at Final 3, Liz makes it farther than Vanessa because Steve won Head of Household at Final 3 and cutting Vanessa, taking Liz to the Final 2 with him.
** NumberTwoForBrains: Liz is TheDitz and doesn’t have much in the way of game instincts. Her read on the house is generally way off. She needs Austin and Vanessa to help her in that department. Even Julia has the slight edge over Liz in the strategy or game instincts area. The only thing that Liz has going for her in the game is her ability to win competitions when it is absolutely crucial for her to do so. Even Steve makes a point of this in his Final 2 speech to the Jury.

* [[EntitledBastard Entitled Bitch]]: Has a temper tantrum when Steve puts her up in Week 11 and claims she was nothing but nice to Steve, when she's really been talking about him (and John) behind their backs. Her relationship with Steve may change seeing as how he brought her to the jury showdown and she literally thanked him with tears, saying she needed the money so bad (she won $50,000 for finishing second).

* DelusionsOfGrandeur: Austin seriously believes that he is loved by the audience and the viewers. He thinks that the fans love him and would stop watching if he ever shall be evicted. What he doesn’t realize is that he is one of the least liked, if not the most hated, houseguests of the season. His delusional, arrogant personality rivals that of Frankie Grande (‘’Big Brother 16’’), Caleb Reynolds (‘’Big Brother 16’’) and Jessie Godderz (‘’Big Brother 10[=/=]Big Brother 11’’).

** CoDragons: Austin is this along with Julia, Liz, Steve, Shelli and Clay. All of them worked for Vanessa and they could be seen as being Vanessa's minions in the game as they practically did everything for Vanessa. Each of them had strengths in the game that would benefit Vanessa: Austin was good at the social aspect and strategy, Julia and Clay were good socially, Shelli and Steve were good at winning competitions and strategy, and Liz was good at winning competitions. Most of them, especially Austin, eventually turned on Vanessa and lost trust with her. It should be noted that Austin, along with Shelli, had been aligned with Vanessa the longest and had the strongest loyalty to her.
** DemotedToDragon: It was thought that Austin would be the main BigBad of the season, but in reality, he was being controlled and manipulated by Vanessa for the majority of the game.
** DevourTheDragon: Vanessa had been plotting Austin, Liz and Julia's demise for weeks. Vanessa admitted earlier n that she let trust in Austin because he had lied to her and during that time, she was contemplating back dooring and evicting Austin. However, she backed out f it after talking t Austin and she instead back doored Jason. However, during Week 12, Vanessa backdoors Austin after John wins the Power of Veto. On top of it, she evicts him by her own hand when the vote goes to a tie. Austin is very shocked and angry at Vanessa, even proclaiming to her face that she will not win the game because of what she has done. Vanessa had evicted Austin because she felt that he was disloyal to her, had lied to her too many times and was a huge threat to her in terms of getting to the end.
** DragonWithAnAgenda: There have been numerous cases where Austin has wanted to backstab or turn on Vanessa in the game. Austin had way more loyalty to Julia and Liz than he did to Vanessa in the long run because it turns out that Austin was never going to take Vanessa to the Final 2 as they had originally planned at the beginning of the game. It was apparent that Vanessa had planned to take his girlfriend Liz to the Final 2.
** TheHeavy: Although Vanessa was the BigBad who was running the entire game and manipulating everyone, Austin was seen as the major villain of the season. It was thought that Austin was the most dangerous player in the game who had the best shot at winning, but Vanessa was the one running things the entire time. Most thought that Austin was the main villain because of his unlikeable personality.
** ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Although Vanessa is John's main ArchEnemy, Austin is also another enemy of John's. Austin is TheDragon to Vanessa, who is the actual BigBad as Vanessa is the one who is controlling the game and Austin is merely a minion or follower of Vanessa. The major reason why Austin and John are enemies is mostly personal but it is also game related as well. Austin strongly dislikes John because he is jealous of John's popularity outside of the house. It was his major motivation for having John nominated and evicted. Vanessa, on the other hand, wanted John out because she felt that John was a big threat to her game and the two also did like get along well on a personal level due to their different game strategies. Interestingy enough, much of Austin and John's rivalry in the game was one sided, as it was Austin would felt an IrrationalHatred towards John before John even saw Austin as trouble. John later saw Austin as an enemy after he nominated him and his ally Steve next to each other and then had him evicted.

* [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne I Take Offense To That One]]: In a DR entry, Austin notes his irritation that his ''Austin the Barbarian'' cover in the Week 7 "BB Comics" POV features the caption, "if his muscles don't get you... his odor will", pointing out that somebody (especially Liz, with whom he's shared a bed with) would have said something if he did have BO.
** His alleged B.O. problem is brought up again when zinged by Zingbot 8000 in Week 9.

* BetaBitch: To Liz’s AlphaBitch. While Liz is much cattier and mean spirited than Julia, Julia still engages in plenty of trash talk with her sister about the other houseguests. Julia is a mean girl but she is only slighty nicer than Liz, as even Julia commented tted that Liz is the bitchier twin. Makes sense that Julia is Liz’s NumberTwo and has UndyingLoyalty towards her, considering that she is Liz’s twin sister.
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: ''And how!'' Julia is the older twin between herself and Liz. Julia is protective of Liz (and vice versa), and secretly questioned Austin's motives with her sister. Although, once she was evicted, she noted that it might be possible that Liz and Austin would last as a couple outside the house, though doesn't hedge her bets that Austin will end up her brother-in-law. In addition, Julia also shows that she is older than Liz through her being more logical and wise than Liz. She is also more level headed, cool, calm and collected than Liz, who is rather HotBlooded, impulsive, hot headed and emotional.

* CoolBigSis: To Liz. Although a catty mean girl, she is much more wise and calm than Liz, who is very emotional and HotBlooded.

** BetaBitch: Even though Julia serves as a one to Liz, Julia is actually considered to be one for Vanessa, who is the villain or BigBad. She worked for Vanessa for a majority of the game and was in alliance with her. Julia often follows whatever Vanessa says or wants out of loyalty to her. Despite Julia's loyalty to Vanessa, it is obvious that her strongest loyalty is to her sister Liz. Since Vanessa, Liz and Julia were all an alliance, they could be considered a GirlPosse.
** CoDragons: With Austin, Liz, Shelli, Clay, and Steve for Vanessa. Julia doesn’t really provide much in the way of strategy or gameplay, but she has remained rather loyal to Vanessa and has never turned on her as of yet.
** DevourTheDragon: Julia was nominated by Steve during Week 11, when Austin has won the Power of Veto and Julia became the replacement nominee in Austin’s spot. At first, it seemed that Vanessa has wanted Julia to stay in the game, as she was a viable Final 2 option for Vanessa, but it turns out that Vanessa has decided to keep Liz over Julia and Vanessa plans on voting Julia out, because it is what both of the twins had wanted and decided together.
** DragonWithAnAgenda: Although Julia has been loyal to Vanessa for the majority of the game, as of Week 11, Julia has finally been onto Vanessa and her game. She realizes that Vanessa is PlayingBothSides of the house, and that she is hugely manipulative. Julia has said to Austin and Liz that if and when she is voted out, she plans to blow up Vanessa and her game to everyone in the house. Interestingly enough, what Julia is completely unaware of is that John and Steve (the people she plans on exposing Vanessa to) are already onto Vanessa and her tactics and have been for quite some time.
** NobleTopEnforcer: Let's face it, Julia is much nicer than Vanessa overall. She is even nicer than her sister Liz in personality. Although Julia is a classic mean girl because she engages in the majority of the trash talking of other houseguests, she is still not as vile and mean spirited as Vanessa. Vanessa comes off very aggressive in her behaviour towards others, while Julia is generally more quiet and laid back. Julia is also this way in comparison to Liz, who is a bigger mean girl than her. Often when Vanessa and Liz start talking down about other houseguests to Julia, Julia normally isn't the one that is instigating it. Out of the trio of herself, Vanessa, and Liz, Julia is definitely the nicer one.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Downplayed. Meg [[AllWomenLoveShoes is a huge fan of designer shoes]], but when she's in the house, Meg is nearly always barefoot. It lets her show off a tattoo on her right foot that says "Always yes" in cursive.

** AgonyOfTheFeet: During Kronk's takeover of the house, Meg regretted this when she was part of a conga line and was dancing across the grass in her bare feet, yelping in pain and not knowing if she could take it anymore.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Meg is nearly always barefoot.

* TheLoad: Meg was one of the weakest and most useless female players of the season. She managed to not win one single competition and overall, she seemed to be very weak on a competitive level. It did not help that Meg was very clueless about what was going in the house. She needed some of her other allies, such as Jackie and Jason, to help her in the strategic department. There were times when Meg even came off as a liability to her alliance (James, Jackie, Jason, Da'Vonne) because she could not win any competitions to keep herself and her allies safe and she did not contribute anything in terms of game intelligence or strategy. It seems that the only thing that Meg really contributed to the game was her ability to flirt with different male houseguests, namely James and Clay. She's also TrueCompanions with Johnny and James, and has an excellent social game with both of them.
