Emily Parr (Removed Day 9, 22nd Place)

• "Just Joking" Justification: Tried to play off the reason she said the “N” Word as “she uses it with her friends as a joke all the time”.
• N-Word Privileges: Was removed from the house for saying the "N" word to Charley. Charley did state she wasn't offended and used the term herself however this was obviously wrong on Emily's part.

• We Hardly Knew Ye: Allegedly, she was one of the smartest on-paper contestants on the show.

Lesley Brain (Walked Day 11, 21st Place)

• Sand In My Eyes: While crying in her bed, she tried to cover it up by saying “I’m Just Sniffing My Mattress.”

Shabnam Paryani (Evicted Day 17, 20th Place)

• And Then What?: After getting evicted, she walked out overwhelmed by the boos, and started dancing a jig, shouting “SHAMONE” and “A TO THE A, B TO THE B” before crying “I don’t know what I’m doing!” and getting rescued by Davina.
• Wakeup Makeup: Never wanted to go without makeup on. Went into a meltdown when Big Brother took away her makeup.

Billi Bhatti (Evicted Day 31, 18th Place)

• Driven by Envy: Ziggy led the charge to get rid of him because he thought Chanelle fancied him. Chanelle ended up with Ziggy anyway and their "romance" was one of the storylines throughout the season.
• Dude Looks Like a Lady: He straightened his hair in the house. He also regularly talked about traditionally feminine things like make-up.

• Jerkass: After leaving the house, he completely bombed at his dream career of professional wrestling due to phoning it in at IPW's academy despite getting free training. Out of spite, he then started up a bunch of wrestling rumour sites that became known for writing entirely fictional articles.

• Back from the Dead: She was fake evicted and returned to the house. She came back just as feisty as ever.

• Spoiled Brat: Demanded everything went her way.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To Nikki Grahame, given how many tantrums she had, even saying "Who IS she?!" and making the exact same motions as Nikki did.

Chanelle Hayes (Walked Out Day 62, 13th Place)

• Celebrity Resemblance: Modeled her look and clothes on Victoria Beckham. She dreamed of being a WAG (Wife An Girlfriend of a footballer) and having a Posh/Becks type of relationship with Ziggy.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Her mother was a young prostitute who was tragically murdered when Chanelle was a baby. She was adopted into a happy family.

Amy Alexandra (Evicted Day 73, 10th Place)

• Slut-Shaming: Her audition video was popular with the crowd however when Amy came out to the crowd exposing her boobs and ass, the audience did a 180.
• The Unfair Sex: Ziggy, Liam, and Jonty were equally guilty of sending the halfway housemates & Tracy back into the Halfway House, yet Amy got all of the blame since she was a woman.

Gerry Stergiopoulos (Evicted Day 80, 9th Place)

• All Gays are Promiscuous: Often talked about how masturbation was not good enough, wanting a blowjob, and flirted with Seany and David.
• Animal Battle Aura: After Kara-Louise was injured during the Guru physical challenge, Brian launched into a fight with him for attempting to clear her aura.
• Graceful Loser: Asked his housemates to let him go as a way to make things up to Carole in a Greater Need Than Mine situation. It allowed her to continue to play, even though she received 25% more of the public vote and the Twins/Ziggy would have sent her home.
• Gratuitous Greek: He spent the whole season reciting Greek quotations and referencing Greek gods and mythology.

Tracey Barnard (Evicted Day 87, 8th Place)

Kara-Louise Horn (Evicted Day 87, 7th Place)

• Distinguishing Mark: Born with a birthmark on her forehead and strands of white hair were probably the most exciting things about her.

Ziggy Lichman (Exited Day 94, 4th Place)

• Boy Band: Was in a boy band in the 1990s called Northern Line.
• Intergenerational Friendship: His friendship with older housemate Carole was seen as cringeworthy to some.
• Mr. Fanservice: The first male to enter the house after one week. Fans were screaming for testosterone after an all woman house.
• Romance on the Set: Got involved in a turbulent relationship with Chanelle that caused the majority of the drama until Chanelle walked out.

Liam McGough (Exited Day 94, 3rd Place)

• All Men Are Perverts: Lusted after Amy then tossed her to the side when he realised his housemates hated her.
• A Man Is Always Eager: Talked about needing to get his rocks off, culminating in a romantic evening with Amy in the Halfway House.
• Disproportionate Reward: Won 100 grand less than a week after he entered the house because he was the only decent bloke that Carole, Jonathan and Seany could think of.
• Ridiculously Average Guy: He wasn’t a particularly big personality, clever, outgoing or unique. He was just a painfully normal guy thrown in with loud-mouthed characters. He spent much of his time talking about trees.

• Wonder Twin Powers: The twins complemented each other’s personalities, and as such became un-evictable as individuals.

Brian Belo (Exited Day 94, Winner)

• Born Winner: Tipped to win after entering the house, and only became more popular as the weeks went on.
• Fan Boy: Watched every episode of Big Brother, including Big Brother Australia on YouTube. He also freaked out when he saw Adele from the 3rd season.
• Functional Genre Savvy: Studied the game and played it like previous winners. (Non-threatening attractive male. Slightly quirky, but under the radar enough to last)
• Give Geeks a Chance: His romance with Amanda.
• Good Is Dumb: He didn't know who Shakespeare was and hated “Museum People”. But his naivety and gentle heart won over the crowd.
• Kid Hero: Was 19 years old but acted more mature than 36-year-old Tracey and Jonty.
