Evicted: Evicted 9-0 VS. SHELLI note 
HOH Evicted Under: JAMES (in Week 6).

  • All for Nothing: 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.
  • Arch-Enemy: James. Those two could not have a moment of peace together in the same room, and when Clay lied to James, they were butting heads within minutes.
  • Bash Brothers: Clay had a close relationship with John. Although they were aligned on a game level, John had Big Brother Instinct towards Clay and was very protective of him. When Clay was nominated, John 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 Undying Loyalty to him.
  • The Brute: He is very athletic and muscular, which makes sense since he played football. He is also argumentative and confrontational. Clay has argued with Da'Vonne, Audrey, Vanessa and James. He also fought with James before he was evicted, with James asking 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.
  • Call-Back: Likens Jason to Ian Terry based on his physical appearance.
  • Celebrity Resemblance: When Kevin Frazier "interviews" Shelli before the first "UF-Oh, No!" HOH competition, she mentions that Clay "looks exactly" like Ryan Reynolds 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.
  • Disc-One Final Boss: His eviction, along with Shelli's afterward, began the dissolution of the Sixth Sense and equalized the sides of the house.
  • The Dragon: For Vanessa, the Big Bad 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.
  • Dumb Jock: Clay comes across as The Ditz and doesn't seem to be very intelligent and smart. Between himself and Shelli, Shelli is the strategist and the one that understands the game. Clay also sounds incredibly uneducated when he speaks and he comes off as The Unintelligible.
  • Everything Is Big in Texas: Clay is originally from Texas and he could be considered The Big Guy because of his height and his athletic or Heroic Build.
  • Farm Boy: Grew up and lives on a farm, where his mom also has an animal sanctuary.
  • Friend to All Living Things: 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.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: 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.
  • Hoist by His 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 began the derailment of his alliance.
  • Hot-Blooded: 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.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: 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.
  • Likes Older Women: Had a showmance with Shelli.
  • Lovable Jock: He's a football player and pretty nice especially to animals.
  • Mr. Fanservice: He's built like a brick house and isn't afraid to show it off.
  • Running Gag: See The Unintelligible.
  • Ship Tease: With Shelli.
  • The Unintelligible: 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)

  • Agent Peacock: Jason is Camp Gay 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.
  • Alpha Bitch: A male variant. He's very catty.
  • And This Is for...: Said this after evicting Audrey.
  • Ascended Extra: He got a cameo on The Bold and the Beautiful. See here.
  • Ascended Fanboy: Jason is a huge super fan of Big Brother, having watched even the foreign versions.
  • Brutal Honesty: 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.
  • Camp Gay: He lampshades how obvious his sexuality is.
  • Catchphrase: "Oh my lanta!"
  • Gay Best Friend: To Da'Vonne most notably.
  • 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.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: 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.
  • Hollywood New England: Jason is from Massachusetts which going by his heavy Bostonian accent, it's pretty much a dead giveaway.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: His revealing of the twin twist courtesy of Austin started the dominoes falling to Sixth Sense losing their advantage in the game.
  • Verbal Tic: Calls everyone "boo".

     Audrey Cara Middleton (Evicted HG #04)

Evicted: Evicted 10-1 VS. JOHN note 
HOH Evicted Under: SHELLI (in Week 4)

  • Alas, Poor Villain: 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 Sanity Slippage from there.
  • The Big Girl: 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.
  • Blatant Lies: 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.
  • Consummate Liar: 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.
  • Genre Blind: 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 Shellinote ) to it.
  • Hysterical Woman: 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 Sanity Slippage. 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.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: 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.
  • Manipulative Bitch: 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.
  • Mediation Backfire: 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.
  • Pet the Dog: 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.
  • Sanity Slippage: 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.
  • Statuesque Stunner: Is among the tallest of the girls (roughly the same height as Becky), and 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.
  • Villainous Breakdown: When Audrey went up on the block, she completely lost it. She started shrouding herself in a gray blanket and black sunglasses like a celebrity trying to avoid the paparazzi. She refused to get out of bed, so James made her an omelet to her because she wasn't eating (she eventually ate it). She spent hours in the Diary Room and would only leave to use the bathroom. Eventually, it got to the point where Austin was griping at her for not being able to take what she dished out, and the houseguests wondered 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 was still wrapped in the grey blanket beforehand.

HOH Evicted Under: VANESSA (in Week 3)

  • Amateur Sleuth: 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.
  • The Atoner: 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.
  • Backstab Backfire: 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 The Amazing Race 26. They are even shown together in the intro sequence to make it clear they're a power duo.
  • Digging Yourself Deeper: 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.
  • Just Friends: 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.
  • Love Triangle: 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).
  • Only Friend: Jackie claimed Jeff was her only friend while in the house.
  • Sudden Sequel Elimination Syndrome: On ''The Amazing Race 26, Jeff and Jackie placed seventh. Here, Jeff goes out in fourteenth place, and Jackie doesn't fare too well, either, especially once Jeff is sent home early.
  • The Unfavorite: The only person who Will Kirby did not interview post-game.

Evicted: 7-2 VS. MEG note 
HOH Evicted Under: SHELLI (in Week 2)

  • Brutal Honesty: 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.
  • Cowardly Lion: She felt that the other houseguests were cowards 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 transphobic.
  • Hot-Blooded: 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).
  • In-Series Nickname: "Mama Da'" or "Momma Day". She's referred to this nickname because she was the only female houseguest that was a mother. However, according to Da'Vonne, she actually dislikes the nickname.
  • 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!"
  • Rejected Apology: 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.
  • Sassy Black Woman: Da'Vonne herself says she becomes the "chick from Inglewood" when she gets livid.
  • Team Mom: 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.
  • Token Minority: Da'Vonne is the only Black women cast this season.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: She is the second person to be evicted, but Da returned next season and fared much better there. She also made a guest appearance as the superheroine "Momma Day" on Season 19.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jace_3.png

Number Of Times Nominated: 1 note 
Number Of Times As Have-Not: None
Prizes/Punishments Won: None
Finished: Placed 17th (1st Houseguest Evicted)
Evicted: Evicted 12-1 VS. JACKIE note 
HOH Evicted Under: JAMES (in Week 1)

  • Arch-Enemy: 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 benote .
  • Bash Brothers: Quickly develops a bond with Austin after they first meet.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: 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.
  • Big Brother Bully: His behaviour towards Steve was very intimidating and bullying in nature. There were times when Steve would look downright scared for his life when Jace tried to talk to him or interact with him.
  • Boy Next Door: Jace is the epitome of an average yet attractive all-American guy. he's most definitely got the casual surfer boy look down pat.
  • Brutal Honesty: 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.
  • The Bully: 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. 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 Dumb Blonde who isn't aware of anything that's happening or going on.
  • Deep South: Although Jace is currently living in California, he's actually originally from Georgia so he's very much a Southern Gentleman. Although his appearance would certainly have people fooled that he's from the South considering that he looks like a typical California Surfer Dude.
  • The Ditz: What can you expect from a Surfer Dude 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.
  • Dumb Blond: 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.
  • Frat Bro: Jace has the typical frat bro personality down pat and sometimes he displays it in excessive degrees.
  • Genki Boy/Keet: Jace is extremely energetic and high energy. His personality is very much like a surfer dude.
  • History Repeats: Once again, the house streaker is the first one to go.
  • Hollywood California: Jace currently resides in Venice Beach, California. However, he's originally from Dunwoody, Georgia. So while he has the appearance of a California surfer guy, he's actually a Southern Gentleman.
  • 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 The Bully towards him.
  • Jerk Jock: To Steve early on. He grew to like him though.
  • Mr. Fanservice: 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.
  • Naked People Are Funny: He streaked in front of the other houseguests on Week 1, though not everyone was that amused.
  • Only Friend: 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 Bash Brothers.
  • Pretty Boy: Despite his questionable behaviour, there's no doubt that physically, Jace is genetically blessed and attractive.
  • Surfer Dude: Garden-variety California brand. Even the manner in which he talks is very California and surfer line.
  • Tall Poppy Syndrome: 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.
  • Totally Radical: Considering that he's a California boy and he's very much a Surfer Dude, he's most likely someone that also loves to skateboard and lives on the beach. His way of speaking is also very California.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: Jace is seen shirtless as much as Austin and even more than Clay... even in Week 1 alone.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: 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.
