Jury Votes Received: 5/7 (Received votes from CAMERON, CORY, AMERICA, BLUE and BOWIE JANE)

The Ace: Jag has won ten competitions, including three Head of Household competitions and seven Power of Veto competitions. He has surpassed Michael Bruner (Big Brother 24), Paul Abrahamian (Big Brother 19), and Cody Calafiore's (Big Brother 22) record for most competition wins in a season. As of the Final Four, he has tied Janelle Pierzina's (Big Brother 7) record for most competition wins. If he wins one more competition, he will not only beat Janelle's record but he would hold the record for most competition wins by a houseguest in Big Brother history. Jag wins the Final HOH competition. With this win, Jag has won ten competitions during the season. He has officially broken Janelle's record and is currently the houseguest who holds the record for most competitions wins in a season in Big Brother US history. In addition to Jag being a competition beast, Jag was evicted unanimously in Week 4, but Matt used his power (Power of Invincibility) to save him, giving him a second chance in the game. Since then, Jag has never been nominated and has not been a major target in the house. Jag is also the first evicted houseguest to make the Final 2 and win the game. He's the first Sikh houseguest cast in Big Brother US history and the first Sikh houseguest to win Big Brother U.S. These are all incredibly impressive feats and Jag has definitely made history.
Action Duo: With Matt. He is in a Final Two alliance called "The Minutemen" with him, and they have been working together as a team and duo since the beginning of the game. While Jag is the Action Hero who wins the vast majority of the competitions, Matt is The Social Expert who builds alliances and keeps the target of their backs. Both players bring unique qualities to their team, making them the most lethal and formidable duo of the season. They are essentially the Big Brother 25 equivalent of The Hitmen (Derrick and Cody) from Season 16.
Action Hero: Jag is incredibly skilled at winning competitions, and as of the Final Four, he has won a total of nine. He is one of the strongest competitors this season, first only to Cameron. His main strengths in the game seem to be his competitiveness and sociability.
Advantage Ball: In Week 4, Jag was evicted 10-0, but ultimately saved by Matt with the Power of Invincibility, which Matt had won. This means that his eviction was nullified, giving him a second chance in the game. He received another advantage in Week 12 when he was able to play for Head of Household (HOH) again after being the Secret HOH in the previous week. Jag won HOH two times in a row, which is unusual because typically the outgoing HOH is not allowed to compete in the next HOH competition. The Secret HOH and Double Veto wins played a major role in Jag reaching the end and ultimately winning the season.
Affably Evil: As soon as the Jury phase starts, Jag becomes significantly more ruthless and backstabbing. He's still adept at pretending to be amiable and friendly to those he plans on backstabbing or throwing under the bus. An example is when Jag won the Secret HOH in Week 11 and told Cory and America that they were completely safe. He ended up betraying them while pretending to be friendly. He then proceeded to blindside them by putting both of them on the block together. He repeated the same behavior with Blue in Week 12. He told Blue that she was not his intended target, but rather America was. He convinced her that she would be safe and that America was going home. She was blindsided at the eviction when she was voted out unanimously. He repeated this same behavior with Cirie in Week 13. He insisted to Cirie that she was safe and that she had his vote to stay over Felicia. He continued to be friendly to her, but he was planning on cutting her. He, along with Bowie Jane, voted her out at the final five. Jag pretending to be friendly to the houseguests but then turning around and backstabbing them could potentially cost him votes in the end.
Ambition Is Evil: He resorted to manipulation, lying and backstabbing to get to the end and win the game. He almost resorted to bullying tactics against Felicia so that it would hinder her performance in the competitions.
Anti-Villain: Jag has become significantly more ruthless and manipulative as the game has progressed. However, not all of his moves have been personal; they have all been based on pure strategy. He has recently made some petty and personal comments about some of the other houseguests. Jag isn't a bad guy, and he's still a nice person outside of the game. However, there's no doubt that Jag has become corrupted by the influences of the game and his desperation to reach the end.
Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Jag occasionally acted very cocky, arrogant, and full of himself. During his final speech to the jury, he reveled in the fact that he was responsible for all of their evictions. He came off as very domineering and overconfident, but the interesting thing is that it worked in his favor.
Back from the Dead: Jag was almost evicted on Day 30 - but Matt saved him with the Power of Invincibility and his eviction was nullified.
Badass Adorable: Jag is the strongest and most dominant competitor of the season next to Cameron. He's also very lovable, dorky, endearing and one of the nicest houseguests of the season. That is until he starts to become more and more ruthless and backstabbing as the game goes on.
Badass Boast: Jag boasted in his jury questions and final speech that he outplayed the entire jury and he is the reason why they are all evicted. He's right of course, but he was a little bit too intense with how he said it.
Badass on Paper: Jag is an excellent competitor, but he had a very sloppy social game and rather mediocre jury management. He managed to win the game despite having a mediocre social game.
The Bad Guy Wins: He's definitely the most villainous and dominant player between himself and Matt. He defeated Matt by a 5-2 jury vote.
Bash Brothers: Jag is this with Matt. They are best friends and allies in the game. They have a Final Two alliance called "The Minutemen". There have been a few instances where Matt and Jag had thought about turning on each other, but they both admitted that they couldn't do it because of their close personal friendship and their strong alliance. He was also this with Cameron. He, Matt and Cameron had formed an alliance called The Fugitives. They had different monikers: Cameron was "The Gunslinger", Matt was "The Bounty Hunter" and Jag was "The Outlaw". Interestingly, all three members of The Fugitives swept the season and all won cash prizes. Jag was the winner of the season and won $750,000, Matt was the runner-up of the season and won $75,000 and Cameron was America's Favorite Houseguest and won $50,000. Not a bad ending for "The Fugitives" alliance.
Beware the Nice Ones: Jag starts out as a humble and laid-back houseguest who gets along with everyone. In the second half of the game, he becomes significantly more ruthless and backstabbing. He is responsible for many evictions and has no loyalty to anyone except Matt and Bowie Jane. In addition to the sharp contrast in his game, his personality has taken on many negative undertones. He has become more aggressive, cocky, and arrogant, and has made personal and petty comments about many of the houseguests. The dramatic change in Jag's personality and gameplay style from the beginning of the season to now is like night and day.
Big Eater: Jag has a large appetite and is seen snacking and eating alot especially on the live feeds. Matt also has a big appetite and can be seen snacking on quesadillas.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Jag started out as a lovable, down-to-earth, and kind houseguest. In the final weeks of the game, his personality has undergone a noticeable change, becoming significantly more aggressive, arrogant, and cocky. Jag's personality shift happened once he and Matt took control of the game in the second half. Since then, he has been Drunk with Power.
Blood Knight: Jag has won many competitions, and he has used those victories to get blood on his hands. Since the jury phase has begun, Jag has shown that he doesn't care about getting blood on his hands and backstabbing everyone to reach the end. Jag knows that there's a possibility of a bitter jury but he still makes the necessary moves to get to the end.
Bollywood Nerd: Jag is a proud South Asian Sikh and he has strong nerdy shades.
Born Lucky: Jag was a huge target in the early part of the game, and he was intended to be sent home. However, Matt won the Power of Invincibility competition and used it to save Jag and nullify his eviction. Matt's decision to make this move gave Jag a second chance in the game. Jag and Matt then proceeded to take over the entire house by infiltrating every single alliance and maneuvering themselves very well socially, competitively, and strategically. As soon as the Jury phase started, Jag became a formidable competitor, winning a total of nine competitions by the Final Four. Since Week Four, Jag has never been nominated nor has he been a significant target. He successfully decreased the target on his back by reinventing his social and strategic game, winning numerous competitions to ensure his safety, and eliminating his targets. Now Jag has a chance of reaching the Final Two and potentially winning the entire game.
Brains and Brawn: Jag is the Brawn to Matt's Brains. Jag is definitely the competition beast between him and Matt. Jag has won nine competitions, while Matt has only won four. Matt is more reliant on his social game, strategy, and good jury management. These aspects are what helped Matt progress in the game. Jag, on the other hand, has a mediocre social game, an awful strategic sense, and poor jury management, and therefore relies on Matt in these areas. They are the most dominant, dangerous and powerful duo and have been in control of the game for pretty much the entire season.
Card-Carrying Villain: Jag was Affably Evil for the vast majority of the game. However, when he makes it to the Final 2 and brags about how he's responsible for everyone's evictions, he embraces his ruthless and villainous gameplay.
Character Development: Jag admits that he played very poorly in the early part of the game, but after he was evicted and saved by Matt's power, he chose to reinvent his game socially, competitively and strategically. It worked in his favor and he won the season.
The Chessmaster: Jag has been manipulating the other houseguests like chess pieces, using them to his advantage and then betraying and backstabbing them. There isn't a single person on the jury with whom he hasn't worked and then proceeded to send home.
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Jag has backstabbed and betrayed quite a lot of people. He has betrayed or backstabbed Cameron, Blue, Cory, America, Cirie and Felicia. He has played a direct or indirect role in all of their evictions. The only person that Jag is truly loyal to is Matt with Bowie Jane in close second. By the end of the season, the only person he was truly loyal to and never backstabbed or betrayed was Matt, since he cut Bowie Jane at Final 3 and took Matt to the Final 2 with him.
Competition Freak: Jag has won nine competitions this season. He has currently tied Janelle Pierzina's record for the most competition wins in a season. If he wins one more, he will break Janelle's record and hold the record for the most competition wins in a season in Big Brother US history. Jag's entire game has strongly relied on winning competitions, and he takes winning them very seriously. His reliance on winning competitions can compensate for his mediocre social game and lack of strategic ability, both of which Matt excels at.
Consummate Liar: Jag is one of the biggest liars in the house and he's very sloppy with his lies. He has a habit of telling many houseguests that they are safe when they aren't. He tells others that they aren't his target, yet he puts them on the block or votes them out. He did this with Cory, America, Blue, and Cirie. It's so hard to tell when Jag is being honest because he has lied and backstabbed so much.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: For the first few weeks, he essentially is bumbling along - almost being evicted twice (and even being evicted once!). After Izzy, Mecole, and Jared leaves, suddenly Jag and Matt end up replacing Cirie as the one in every alliance.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Jag decimated everyone else when it came to winning the competitions. He won a total of ten competitions; the most competitions wins won by a houseguest in a single season. Jag won three HOH's and seven POV's. He currently holds the record for most Veto wins in a season. It didn't matter what type of competition it was whether it was mental, skill, physical or endurance, Jag was going to crush everyone else in them.
Dark Horse Victory: Did anyone expect Jag, who played poorly at the beginning of the season, to break records by winning so many competitions, become more cutthroat in his gameplay style, make it all the way to the Final 2, and win the whole game? It was also believed that Matt had this game in the bag if he was sitting next to Jag in the Final 2; hence, Jag was hesitant to take him to the end. But fortunately for Jag, Matt fumbled the jury questions and speeches badly, which ultimately led to Jag's 5-2 win over him.
Deadpan Snarker: Jag is a very snarky and witty fellow. His penchant for sarcasm is rather evident when he speaks to the other houseguests.
Defeating the Undefeatable: Jag broke the record for the most competition wins in a season, but he was absolutely certain that Matt was the biggest threat to win the entire game. Jag felt that Matt would beat him in the Final 2 because Matt was well-liked by everyone on the jury and had a stellar social game. Matt was never evicted, unlike Jag. Hence, Jag felt that Matt would defeat him. Jag brought Matt to the Final 2 and honored his word to Matt. Jag had whispered to Matt while hugging him, and after cutting Bowie Jane, he said Matt was going to beat him. However, Jag absolutely wiped the floor with Matt during the jury questioning and speeches. It was Jag's excellent jury answers and dominant speech that clinched him the win over Matt by a 5-2 jury vote.
The Determinator: Jag is one of the most determined and tenacious houseguests of the season. He was a target in the first few weeks, but he worked hard to completely change his game so that he wouldn't be a target anymore. He changed his strategic and social game by forming new alliances. He won many competitions to ensure his own safety and eliminate his targets. Since getting a second chance at the game after being saved by Matt, he has been determined to make it all the way to the end, and he has a very high chance of doing so.
Deus ex Machina: Jag would've been permanently evicted if Matt didn't win the Power of Invincibility competition and used it on him in Week 4. Matt using this power on Jag changed the entire course of the season.
Dirty Coward: Jag's gameplay and strategy at times once the Jury phase begins has him backstabbing a lot of people and then playing the victim card and trying to act on a moral high ground. Most evidently, his secret HOH week where he tells America and Cory he won't put them on the block only to backdoor Cory anyway.
The Dreaded: Jag is the most dangerous competitor of season. Due to how many comps that he's won, he's a very difficult person to evict and if he wins a few more, he will easily get to the Final 2.
Earn Your Happy Ending: Jag was a significant target at the start. He was evicted unanimously by a 10-0 vote but was saved by his best friend Matt using a power. Despite this, he remained a target for a few more weeks. He managed to completely reinvent his game by dominating in competitions, infiltrating and forming new alliances, and adjusting his strategy. This was a successful journey for Jag, leading him to the Final 2 where he ultimately emerged as the winner of the game. On top of that, he remained loyal to his best friend, Matt, staying true to his morals and values as a good friend.
Elimination Houdini: Jag survives his Week 4 eviction after Matt saves him with the BB Power of Invincibility, and in Week 5, is almost the main target before everyone flips onto Red instead.
Entitled Bastard: He started showing signs of this in the final few weeks of the game. He acted as if the houseguests owed him for saving them in the game (i.e. Cory, Blue and America) or carrying them as far as he could (i.e. Felicia and Cirie). He isolated Cirie and Felicia and chose to socialize only with Matt and Bowie Jane. He criticized America for not pulling her weight while she was in the house and not contributing to household chores such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry. Jag admitted that one of the reasons why he enjoys having Felicia around is her skill in cooking. He and Bowie Jane devised a plan to distract Felicia, ensuring that she would not emerge victorious in any of the Final Four competitions. During his jury speech and the Final 2 questioning, he came across as arrogant, cocky, entitled, and smug. He stated that the reason all the people on the jury were evicted is because he signed their eviction notices. Jag's personality shifted negatively in the last weeks of the season, and much of it had to do with being Drunk with Power and his desperation to reach the end and win.
Evil Gloating: During his final speech to the jury, he gloats that he was the one responsible for signing the eviction notice of every single jury member and that he is bathed in their blood. His speech came off as cocky, arrogant and obnoxious, but the majority of the jury still voted for him to win over Matt because Matt's answers to the jury's questions were abysmal.
Evil Is Hammy: During his Final 2 speech, he goes completely Large Ham in his presentation. He practically brags and gloats to the jury that he is responsible for all of their evictions, and he has all of their blood on his hands. It was a very out-of-character moment for Jag, and it made him come off as a Smug Snake and a Card-Carrying Villain who was on the verge of giving an Evil Laugh.
Evil Is Petty: In the final weeks of the game, Jag has made many personal comments and remarks about the other houseguests, especially about the houseguests he's targeting or those who've been evicted He even came up with "Operation Pressure Cracker" with Bowie Jane. He wanted to employ psychological warfare against Felicia by using tactics such as distraction, sleep deprivation, and paranoia to hinder her chances of winning the Final 4 HOH or POV. Jag's tactics and behavior in the final weeks were heavily criticized by the live feed watchers. They believed that he was taking things too far.
Expy: Of both Paul Abrahamian (specifically in Season 18) and Ty McDonald of the 11th Canadian season. All three were people who were fairly sizeable targets early on, and had to weave through the various alliances and pull themselves off the block in order to make it further and proceeded to make people regret not targeting them early on. Like Ty, Jag went on to win.
Face–Heel Turn: Jag starts to become more ruthless and villainous as the season progresses. By the time Jury phase starts, he starts backstabbing many people he considered to be his allies and friends. Much of Jag's behavior has to do with the fact that he's become Drunk with Power and has let the game get to his head.
Fallen Hero: Jag started out as a friendly, kind, down-to-earth houseguest who was ostracized and one of the biggest targets in the house. He was the embodiment of an underdog and was therefore easy to root for. After being saved by Matt and given a second chance in the game, his personality underwent a complete transformation, becoming increasingly deceitful and ruthless. He was once one of the most beloved houseguests among fans, but his popularity has significantly declined because of his dirty gameplay, predictably outperforming everyone else in competitions and making personal and petty comments about the other houseguests, even when they are out of the house and have been evicted. Jag still has a very high chance of reaching the end and winning the game, but it has come at the expense of his friendships with the other houseguests, potential votes in the jury, and his popularity outside of the house.
Final Boss: He was the season's biggest threat and he ended up winning the season by a 5-2 jury vote.
The Friend Nobody Likes: After being saved in the game by Matt, Jag formed numerous new friendships and alliances with other houseguests. However, he betrayed many of those people in the game by backstabbing them and sending them home. He had befriended and backstabbed Cameron, America, Cory, Blue, Felicia, and Cirie. Many of them now harbor bitter feelings towards him and may not vote for him if he reaches the end. The only people to whom he has remained loyal are Matt and Bowie Jane. However, Jag has even contemplated sending Matt home, despite him being his closest ally and best friend in the house. Jag chose not to backstab Matt because he admitted that he couldn't do that to him after Matt saved him in the game.
From Nobody to Nightmare: Jag started out as an ostracized houseguest who was a huge target at the start, but he transformed into an absolute Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass competitively and socially. He's an absolute beast in competitions and has won the vast majority of them. He has broken the record for the most Veto wins in a single season, having won seven Vetoes as of the Final Four. In addition to his many Power of Veto wins, he has won two Head of Household competitions back to back. He broke tied with Janelle Pierzina (Big Brother 7) for the most competition wins in a season. In addition to his numerous competition wins, he managed to transition from being a primary target in the early weeks to skillfully navigating his way through all of the alliances in the house. After he was saved by Matt with the Power of Invinicibiity, he and Matt have rampaged through the house, dominating every aspect of the game. He has eliminated all of his intended targets one after another, and nobody has targeted him or put him on the block since Week 4. If Jag makes it to the end, he poses the biggest threat to win the game.
Genius Ditz: Jag is an excellent competitor and he's won the most comps this season. However, his strategic gameplay has been sloppy and his jury management has been awful.
Guile Hero/Evil Genius: He was definitely the brains and more of the strategist behind the Minuteman alliance which involved him and Matt. He was the one pulling all the strings and making all the decisions about who should stay and who should go. Matt was more of The Social Expert and was good at making friends and alliances. Jag was significantly more cutthroat and dominant strategically while Matt was more passive and amiable.
Heel–Face Revolving Door: Jag would constantly appear torn on whom to be loyal to. He was loyal to Cory and America, and even advocated for them to stay in the game when Cameron and Matt wanted Cory to go home. He then turned on Cory and America after discovering that they were untrustworthy and had plans to target him and Matt. He blindsided them in Week 11 when he took Blue and Felicia off the block and replaced them with Cory and America. This was the point in the game when Jag had become more ruthless and manipulative. He backstabbed Cameron, even though he had made a Final 3 alliance with him and Matt. He turned on Blue, even though he was close friends with her. He even planned to backstab Matt at the Final 4 or Final 3. However, Jag finally showed some sense of loyalty when he chose to keep Matt in the Final 4 and decided to take Matt to the Final 2 with him instead of Bowie Jane, despite having made a Final 2 pact with Bowie as well. Jag would constantly alternate between being a ruthless villain who stabbed everyone in the game and a more anti-heroic character who showed some loyalty to his closest allies and friends in his game moves.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Matt. They have a lot of Ho Yay moments together. Jag has a legitimate friendship with Matt that has these undertones basically making them a bromance. The two legitimately love to cuddle and practice dating each other using their microphones as cell phones. America is a Shipper on Deck likely because she is a Yaoi Fangirl.
Honor Before Reason: Jag could have cut Matt at both the Final 4 and Final 3, but he chose to stay loyal to Matt and take him to the Final 2, even though he might face the possibility of losing to him.
I Know You Know I Know: A variant - Cirie wanted to go after him at Final 6. Jag's goodbye message to Cirie revealed he knew she wanted to target him. This is also why he targeted Cory & America when he did.
Intergenerational Friendship: With Bowie Jane. She was his second closest ally after Matt. Bowie Jane is almost twenty years Jag's senior.
In Touch with His Feminine Side: Jag has no issue with pretend flirting and cuddling with Matt and he can be seen wearing pink clothing items from time to time.
Insufferable Genius: In his final speech, Jag bragged to the jury that he was responsible for signing all of their eviction notices and he has all of their blood on his hands. His final speech was so over the top that the jury managed to laugh at him bragging about his game and how he outplayed everyone. It managed to get the jury to vote for him.
It's Personal: His reasons for wanting to target and blindside Cory and America had everything to do with them wanting to target him and Matt and put them on the block together. Nobody gets between Jag and his fellow Minuteman!
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He acted very ruthless, backstabbing and petty during the final weeks of the game. However, he's still a decent person outside of the game. He became rough around the edges because of his desperation to get to the end and win the game.
Joker Immunity: After being saved by Matt with the Power of Invincibility, Jag never ends up being nominated again because he either wins numerous competitions or his allies (Bowie Jane, Cameron, Matt) prevent him from hitting the block and becoming the target to go home.
Knight Templar: Jag has become significantly more manipulative and ruthless over time. He believes that betraying and backstabbing all of his friends is the right strategy for his game and will help him reach the end and win. It's unfortunate that Jag doesn't grasp the importance of jury management. His tendency to backstab and act ruthlessly may ultimately cost him jury votes and the chance to win.
Like an Old Married Couple: Though Jag and Matt are straight and are Heterosexual Life-Partners, they sometimes come across as a married couple in the way they interact with each other on a daily basis. There's also the fact that they engage in banter and are very comfortable around each other, even going as far as flirting and cuddling. They embody bromance.
Manipulative Bastard: By the time the jury phase started, he had lied, manipulated and backstabbed everyone that was evicted. He was the one pulling all of the strings and was responsible for all of the evictions during the second half of the season. Jag (and Matt) was responsible for sending Cameron, Cory, America, Blue, Cirie, Felicia and Bowie Jane home. The only person who he didn't backstab or turn on by the end of the game was Matt, because he was his ride or die.
Motor Mouth: Once Jag starts talking, he can't seem to stop. He's a great conversationist and he's very passionate when he speaks about things that interest him.
Muscles Are Meaningless: Jag is very lean and lanky in regards to his body type. He's not as athletic, muscular and built like Matt. Yet, his lack of muscles have not stopped him from being an absolute beast in competitions, whether they are physical, mental or skill.
My Greatest Second Chance: He got a second chance at playing the game after being saved by Matt with the Power of Invincibility. He managed to make good use of being saved and ended up winning the season.
Never Bareheaded: Jag is never seen without wearing some form of head wear. He can often be seen wearing his turban or wearing a hat.
Nice Guy: Jag is a very laid back and kind houseguest. Subverted as of late, s he has gotten progressively negative in the last weeks of the game. He has become a little bit drunk with power and has talked badly about some of the other houseguests, even ones who are no longer in the house.
No-Damage Run: He managed to win a bunch of competitions in the second half of the game which prevented him from ever being nominated again or becoming a target for eviction. He comp beasted his way to the Final 2 and won the game.
Only Known by Their Nickname: His first name is Jagateshwar but everyone he knows calls him Jag.
Pet the Dog: In the luxury comp, he chose for Matt to win - specifically because he already won.
Platonic Life-Partners: With Reilly and Blue. He shares a close relationship with both of them. He and Reilly formed a Final 2 alliance in the first week. Unfortunately, Reilly became a target and wa evicted in Week 2.
Real Men Wear Pink: Jag seems to like wearing a lot of pink clothing items.
Smug Snake: He backstabbed and liedto so many people in the jury house without a second thought. He had rather poor jury management, and he didn't seem to care about this concept at all. During his final speech, he came across as arrogant, smug, and cocky. He boasted that he was the one responsible for signing all of their eviction notices and claimed to have their blood on his hands. His speech was so over-the-top and smug in nature that it's surprising how five out of the seven jury members voted for him to win.
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: He and Matt take up alot of the screen time on the live shows. It's understandable why since they are the most dominant duo of the season and Jag has won many competitions.
Those Two Guys: With Matt. They had a Final 2 alliance called "The Minutemen" which was inspired by "The Hitmen" from Big Brother 16. The Hitmen was a Big Brother alliance which included the duo Derrick Levasseur and Cody Calafiore.
Token Minority: Jag is the first Sikh houseguest in Big Brother US history.
Took a Level in Badass: Jag was the most ostracized and target houseguest at the start. Everyone wanted him gone and he played a poor game. After being saved by Matt with his power, Jag turned up the heat and became the biggest threat in the entire house. He and Matt took over the entire house and rampaged through the house, taking out people left and right. Jag managed to make it all the way to the Final 2 by winning many competitions, forming new alliances and backstabbing people. He won the game by a 5-2 vote.
Took a Level in Jerkass: Although Jag is still a Nice Guy, he's definitely become more aggressive, cocky and arrogant in the latter weeks of the game.
True Companions: He's this with Matt and Bowie Jane. They are his closest friends and allies in the game. They are in a Final Three alliance called "The Mafia" and they all have Undying Loyalty to each other.
Undying Loyalty: To Matt. He and Matt are Heterosexual Life-Partners and they have a Final Two alliance called "The Minutemen". Matt is undoubtedly Jag's ride or die in the game. The only other person that Jag has strong loyalty to other than Matt is Bowie Jane.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: He has backstabbed and betrayed every single person except Matt. Matt was the sole person whom Jag had Undying Loyalty to. He even betrayed Bowie Jane, someone he had vowed to take to the end with him if he won the Final HOH, when he cut her at the Final 3 and chose to take Matt to the Final 2 with him.

Abhorrent Admirer: Many fans commented that they found Matt's obsession with Reilly to be off-putting. Before Reilly was evicted, Matt told Reilly that he liked her but she didn't seem to reciprocate. Matt would constantly talk about Reilly long after she was evicted on the live feeds. He talked about her as if she were his girlfriend, even though they had never been in a relationship before she was evicted.
The Ace: Matt is one of the few houseguests who have made it to the Final Five without ever having been nominated. Matt is the eleventh houseguest to make it past Day 78 without ever being nominated. The other houseguests are Derrick Levasseur, Austin Matelson, James Huling, Nicole Franzel, JC Mounduix, Holly Allen, Tommy Bracco and Enzo Palumbo. He has an excellent social game and nobody has actively gone out of their way to target him. He makes it all the way to the Final 2 when his best friend Jag takes him over Bowie Jane. He wins $75,000 for being the runner up in the Final 2 and earns an extra $5,000 after winning the Halloween Luxury Competition.
Action Duo: With Jag. He is in a Final Two alliance called "The Minutemen" with him, and they have been working together as a team and duo since the beginning of the game. While Jag is the Action Hero who wins the vast majority of the competitions, Matt is The Social Expert who builds alliances and keeps the target of their backs. Both players bring unique qualities to their team, making them the most lethal and formidable duo of the season. They are essentially the Big Brother 25 equivalent of The Hitmen (Derrick and Cody) from Season 16.
Action Survivor: He's not as strong of a competitor as Jag and he didn't win as many competitions as he did. However, he got to the end of the game by having a very strong social game, building alliances and not making himself a huge target by winning too many competitions.
Affably Evil: Matt is skilled at presenting himself as amiable and friendly to others, even when he intends to betray or evict them. He is adept at presenting himself as not being accountable for someone's eviction and creating the illusion that he bears no responsibility for anyone's evictions. Matt seems to have strategically let Jag do all of the dirty work and take out Matt's targets for him, without having to dirty his own hands.
Affectionate Nickname: His nickname is "Matty Ice". His nickname is inspired by the American beer brand Natural "Natty" Ice.
Afro Asskicker: Matt has a medium long wavy mop of blond hair that he often wears up in a man bun or small ponytail.
All Love Is Unrequited: Matt confessed to Reilly that he had a strong infatuation for her. Reilly had friend-zoned him at the time. However, when he wins HOH in Week 12, Matt receives a letter from Reilly, expressing how proud she is of him for making it this far and mentioning her intention to date him after the show.
All-Loving Hero: Matt is friendly and kind to everyone. Some houseguests annoy him, but he treats them well nonetheless. Matt's ability to be friendly towards everyone, even those he doesn't particularly like or those he's not aligned with, is why he has one of the best social games of the season.
Almighty Janitor: Matt may have a disability being deaf and he's underestimated because of it, but he has one of the strongest social games of the season. It was his social game and his ability to manipulate others that got him all the way to the end.
Always Someone Better: Matt openly admitted that he was afraid Jag would defeat him in the end because Jag is much more competent at competitions and has played a more dominant strategic and competitive game. Matt, on the contrary, hasn't won as many competitions as Jag and has played under the radar with an excellent social game. For that reason, Matt felt that the jury would see Jag's game as superior because he was the one who made all of the obvious moves, while Matt was making the moves behind the scenes.
Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain: Matt started out as more of The Hero archetype, but as the weeks progressed, he became rougher around the edges. He revealed some unpleasant traits in his personality. He would act friendly towards the houseguests, but he was planning on betraying them and sending them home. He has been involved in numerous negative discussions about the other houseguests with Jag and Bowie Jane in the final weeks of the game.
Ascended Fanboy: Matt has admitted that he is a huge Survivor fan and has watched the show since he was a kid. It's probably one of the reasons why he loved Cirie and was very close to her in the house. His mom is a huge fan of Cirie.
A Taste of Defeat: It seemed that everything had gone Matt's way all season. Matt was never a target for anyone, wasn't nominated until the Final Four and has never had an eviction vote cast against him. He also won crucial competitions he needed to get his targets out and keep himself and Jag safe. The jurors seemed to be strongly in favor of voting for Matt if he made it to the Final 2 due to him having a very strong social game. However, he underperformed during the Final 2 Jury questioning against Jag, giving Jag the advantage to defeat him. The jurors felt that Matt didn't own his gameplay while Jag did and as a result, Matt lost to Jag by a 5-2 jury vote.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Matt has admitted on the live feeds that he has ADHD.
Awesome, but Impractical: Matt had the strongest social game out of all the houseguests, and he managed to make it to the Final 2 because of it. Many houseguests felt that despite his great social game, Matt didn't take responsibility for all of his game moves and manipulations. The jury couldn't respect this, and the majority of the jurors chose to vote for Jag over Matt in the end.
Badass Adorable: Matt is likable and endearing. He is also one of the most deadly and dangerous players of the season due to his exceptional social game, decent competitiveness, membership in a dominant two-man alliance with Jag, and skillful manipulation. Matt was absolutely dominant in the game, yet nobody had the desire to target or eliminate him.
Bash Brothers: Matt is this with Jag. They are best friends and allies in the game. They have a Final Two alliance called "The Minutemen". They made it to the Final 2 together after Jag won the Final HOH, cut Bowie Jane and took Matt, his number one, to the end with him. He was also this with Cameron. He, Jag and Cameron had formed an alliance called "The Fugitives". They had different monikers: Cameron was "The Gunslinger", Matt was "The Bounty Hunter" and Jag was "The Outlaw". Interestingly, all three members of The Fugitives swept the season and all won cash prizes. Jag was the winner of the season and won $750,000, Matt was the runner-up of the season and won $75,000 and Cameron was America's Favorite Houseguest and won $50,000. Not a bad ending for "The Fugitives" alliance.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Matt had Undying Loyalty to Jag and didn't want to betray him. He expressed a desire to take Jag to the Final 2, even though he knew that Jag was a huge competitive threat. On the finale night, Jag wins the HOH and chooses Matt as his Final 2 partner. However, Matt performs poorly during the jury questions, while Jag impresses the jury with his responses. This prompts the jury to vote for Jag to win over Matt. If Matt had gotten rid of Jag earlier on and had prepared much better for the jury questions, he might have actually won the game. His loyalty to Jag and his passivity in allowing Jag to make all the strategic decisions is what ultimately destroyed Matt's chances of winning.
Because You Were Nice to Me: His loyalty to Jag, Cory and America stems from this, clearly being happy Cory stuck up for him when Jared told everyone that Matt (who can read lips) "misheard him".
Beware the Nice Ones: Matt is a Nice Guy but it's not wise to underestimate him or get on his bad side. He's shown that he can be quite ruthless in the game if he wants someone out. He had no issue with backstabbing Cameron, Cory, America, and Cirie.
Big Brother Instinct: Towards Jag. Matt is a couple of years older than Jag and he has been very protective of him on a personal and game level. He would do anything to keep Jag safe. He did so in Week 4 when he chose to use his power to nullify Jag's eviction.
The Big Easy: Matt currently resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, but he's originally from Cameron Park, California. It's evident how proud Matt is to be from Louisiana.
Big Eater: Matt has a big appetite and loves to eat. Much of his voracious appetite could be attributed to his stature as a big guy and an athlete. One of his favorite foods to make in the house is quesadillas. He was always in the kitchen making them for himself and Jag. Some have commented that Matt gained weight during his time in the house, and he was much thinner at the start of the season. His weight gain is attributed to how much eating he did in the house. It's a tossup between Jag or Matt for who was the biggest eater in the house.
The Big Guy: He's 6'3" and one of the tallest and biggest guys in the house. He's also athletic and is a swimmer. Surprisingly, he didn't win that many competitions, though he managed to surprise by winning Part 1 of the Final HOH, which was an endurance competition.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Matt presented himself as a friendly and amiable person towards many of the houseguests, but he was either plotting to send them home or he was talking negatively about them behind their backs. This was evident when it came to America and Cory. He was aligned with them in the game, but he admitted that he didn't care for them on a personal level.
Bittersweet Ending: Although he didn't win the game, he made it all the way to the Final 2 with his best friend and Minutemen ally, Jag. His best friend (Jag) got first place and won the $750,000 grand prize and Matt was very happy for him. Matt himself earned $75,000 by coming in second place. He also secured a spot in the Top 3 of the America's Favorite Houseguest vote and has the second highest number of followers on Instagram among all the houseguests this season. Additionally, he may have the opportunity to go on a date with the girl he likes, Reilly. Plus, he made history by being the first deaf houseguest to be cast on Big Brother U.S. and also, the first deaf houseguest to make it all the way to the Final 2 and almost win. Not a bad ending for Matt.
Brainless Beauty: Matt is a very physically attractive young man, but he's definitely not the brightest person. When it came time for Matt to explain why he should win the game over Jag during the Final 2 jury questioning, he completely fumbled and kept talking in circles. It was clear that he came to the final two completely unprepared.
Brains and Brawn: Matt is the Brains to Jag's Brawn. Jag is definitely the competition beast between him and Matt. Jag has won nine competitions, while Matt has only won four. Matt is more reliant on his social game, strategy, and good jury management. These aspects are what helped Matt progress in the game. Jag, on the other hand, has a mediocre social game, an awful strategic sense, and poor jury management, and therefore relies on Matt in these areas. They are the most dominant, dangerous and powerful duo and have been in control of the game for pretty much the entire season.
Breakout Character: Matt is one of the most popular houseguests of the season. He was in the Top 3 contenders to win the America's Favorite Houseguest prize and he has the highest number of followers among all the houseguests this season on Instagram, second only to Cirie.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Matt is underestimated because of his disability (he's deaf), but he has one of the best social games of the season.
The Charmer: Matt's strongest game aspect was his social game. He was very good at charming people and making them feel really good and comfortable with him. He would then proceed to plot their demise with Jag without them even suspecting.
Chick Magnet: Many of the female houseguests commented that they found Matt attractive. Reilly, America, Kirsten and even Izzy, who is a lesbian, all stated how they think Matt was physically appealing during the houseguests introductions.
Conflicting Loyalty: Matt was often torn between alliances. He was torn on whether he wanted to go to the Final Four with Cory and America. This changed when Matt discovered that Cory and America had planned to target them. Matt wanted to go to the Final Four with Jag, Cirie, and Felicia. However, his loyalties towards Cirie and Felicia shifted after he nominated them together when he won HOH in Week 13. Matt ended up sending Cirie home during his HOH reign, indicating that he ultimately made the decision to advance to the Final Three with Jag and Bowie Jane. His current loyalties are with Jag and Bowie Jane. He will likely take Jag to the Final Two, as they have a Final Two alliance called "The Minutemen."
Deadpan Snarker: Matt admits that he is a very snarky and sarcastic person who likes to roast people. He says that one of his nicknames is "Matty Roast".
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Matt was responsible for sending home one of the most dangerous players of the season, Cirie. She was put on the block by Matt and voted out by Jag and Bowie Jane, who are in his alliance.
The Ditz: Matt's a nice guy but he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. He had a strong social game but it's clear that it was Jag who was making all the strategic decisions in their team and Matt was just going along with the ride.
Ditzy Genius: Matt is an athlete, a strong competitor, has a great social game and strong jury management. However, he isn't super impressive at strategy, though he's much better than Jag in this regard. Matt has made significant progress in the game due to his strong social game.
Dogged Nice Guy: Matt confessed to Reilly that he had a crush on her during the initial weeks of the game. However, it seemed as though Reilly was hesitant to get involved with Matt because it would make her a bigger target. Matt spends numerous weeks constantly talking about and obsessing over Reilly, who had been evicted. His feelings for her appear to be reciprocated when Reilly writes Matt a letter after he wins HOH. She tells him how proud she is of him for making it so far and expresses her intention to date him after the show ends. Matt is very happy and content with this news.
Drunk with Power: He and Jag became increasingly ruthless as the game progressed. The jury phase began, and Matt and Jag were dominating the game by orchestrating the evictions of the other houseguests. Matt became increasingly rough around the edges and started trash talking the other houseguests while hyping himself, Jag, and Bowie Jane up.
11th-Hour Superpower: In Week 4, Matt, along with Cory, Jag, and Cirie, was voted by America to compete in the Power of Invincibility competition. Matt won the competition and earned the power. The power granted him the ability to cancel an eviction of his choice in either Week 4 or Week 5. Matt decided to utilize his power to save Jag, effectively nullifying his eviction. Matt's decision to make this move changed the entire course of the game and the season.
Epic Fail: During the Final 2 jury questioning and speeches, Matt really did poorly. He completely flubbed all of his jury questions and it was embarrassing to watch. Jag clearly came prepared and he outperformed Matt, which most definitely secured him the win.
Fatal Flaw: His biggest mistake was not owning his game moves during the jury questioning in the Final 2. It resulted in him losing to Jag by a 5-2 vote. As far as they were concerned, he's not done anything wrong... but he's also not really done anything on his own. Cory and allegedly America & Blue all planned on voting for him, but weren't impressed at how he kept talking up Jag.
From Nobody to Nightmare: Matt was severely underestimated by everyone in the house because he had a disability. It turns out that he was one of the most dangerous players in the game. He and Jag have dominated the majority of the season and they have went unnoticed by everyone for a long time. Matt is one of the biggest threats to win the game.
Genius Bruiser: Matt is athletic, a reasonably good competitor and he's socially played one of the best games of the season. He's a sleeper pick to get to the end and win.
Gentle Giant: Matt is 6'3" and the biggest houseguest of the season but he has a very calm, gentle, relaxed and soft spoken personality.
Graceful Loser: Matt took losing to Jag in the Final 2 very well. He was genuinely excited and happy for Jag and his victory. It's not surprising because Jag was not only his other half of the Minuteman alliance, but he was also his best friend in the house. Matt admitted in post-season interviews that Jag deserved to win because he played the best game and handled the jury questions and speeches better than he did. Matt also admitted that if Jag had cut him instead of Bowie Jane at the Final 3, he would be upset but would still vote for Jag to win over Bowie Jane.
Guile Hero: Matt deliberately played a low-profile game to avoid becoming a major target. It's likely that he was throwing competitions so that he wouldn't appear to be a huge athletic threat that others would desire to take out. He allowed Jag to take on the responsibility of eliminating their targets and getting blood on his hands, while he would sit back and let Jag take the blame for the evictions. Even though he shares just as much responsibility for the majority of the evictions as Jag, Matt is still well-liked by everyone and is seen as the lesser of two evils between him and Jag. It seems as though Matt may have strategically used Jag as a meat shield to divert attention away from himself.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Matt is blond-haired and he is one of the nicest and kindest houseguests of the season.
Handicapped Badass: Matt is deaf and he's a pretty strong competitor. He has a very strong social game and has managed to win a few competitions when he needed to.
The Heart: Matt is truly one of the kindest houseguests of the season. He treats everyone with kindness and respect. It's been downplayed lately as he has resorted to trash talking about the other houseguests, though he's not as intense with it as Jag and Bowie Jane.
Heroic Build: Matt is very muscular, buff and athletically built. It makes sense that he has the physique he does since he's a swimmer.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Jag. They have a lot of Ho Yay moments together. Matt has a legitimate friendship with Jag that has these undertones basically making them a bromance. The two legitimately love to cuddle and practice dating each other using their microphones as cell phones. America is a Shipper on Deck likely because she is a Yaoi Fangirl.
Honor Before Reason: In Week 12, Matt had a chance to take a shot at Jag and evict him from the house because he poses a significant competitive threat. However, he chose to remain loyal to Jag, fully aware that there was a high probability of Jag bringing him to the Final Two. Not to mention, Jag is his best friend in the house.
Intergenerational Friendship: With Cirie, Felicia and Bowie Jane. Cirie and Felicia are old enough to be his mother and Bowie Jane is almost twenty years Matt's senior.
Inspirationally Disadvantaged: He's deaf and a skilled swimmer and athlete.
In Touch with His Feminine Side: Matt takes great care in his physical appearance, is in touch with his emotions and enjoys cuddling with Jag.
Irrational Hatred: Matt seemed to harbor a huge dislike for America and Cory. Though he appeared friendly to their faces while they were both in the house, he secretly disliked them and found them irritating. In the last weeks of the game, Matt would constantly trash talk America and Cory. He said that America, in particular, got on his nerves because he perceived her to be a wishy-washy person who was unreliable. He also complained that she was lazy, contributed the least to the household, and acted like an entitled person.
Jack of All Stats: Out of the final five houseguests, including himself, Cirie, Felicia, Bowie Jane, and Jag, Matt was generally the most well-rounded player among them. Matt had an excellent social game, a decent under-the-radar strategic game, good jury management, and was proficient enough in competitions (he won four comps). All of the other final five houseguests had at least one aspect of the game that they were weak at. Cirie had a strong social game and strategic game but performed poorly in all the competitions. Felicia was a Master of None and wasn't good at any aspect of the game—she performed poorly in competitions, had a horrible social game and had no strategic gamepay at all. Bowie Jane was a floater who happened to perform well in mental competitions and never touched the block, but she was very bad strategically and was playing to advance Matt and Jag's game. Jag was an excellent competitor ( he broke the record and won ten competitions), but he had been evicted, had a messy strategic game, a mediocre social game, along with rather poor jury management. The jury ended up voting for Jag to win the game over Matt in the Final Two for three reasons: a. Jag played a more openly competitive and dominant game than Matt, b. the jury saw Jag as the leader, mastermind, and strategic decision-maker between him and Matt, and c. Matt performed poorly in his jury questions and final speech, while Jag excelled in both. It was believed before the finale that Matt had this game in the bag if he made it to the end. However, Matt fumbled in the endgame, and it cost him the win.
Like an Old Married Couple: Though Jag and Matt are straight and are Heterosexual Life-Partners, they sometimes come across as a married couple in the way they interact with each other on a daily basis. There's also the fact that they engage in banter and are very comfortable around each other, even going as far as flirting and cuddling. They embody bromance.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Matt's hair is medium long and he's very physically attractive. Sometimes he ties his hair up in a manban.
Lovable Jock: Matt is an athlete — he's a skilled swimmer and he has a very kind and nice personality. He can sometimes veer into Jerk Jock territory with some of his negative discussions about the other houseguests, but for the most part, he's still pretty likeable.
Loving a Shadow: Matt obsessed over Reilly long after she was evicted. He was very infatuated with her and constantly talked about her on the live feeds. Some suggest that Matt only likes the idea of Reilly since he never got to truly know her.
Magnetic Hero: People gravitated towards Matt because they found him very likable and charming. They wanted to work with him in the game, as they found him to be dependable and loyal. In a segment at the jury house, many of the jurors commented on how much they love Matt as a person. It was because Matt was well-liked by the jurors that he had this game in the bag if he made it to the end. His social game was one of the best of the season. However, despite the jury liking Matt on a personal level, it wasn't enough to convince them to vote for him over Jag, who had a strong competitive and strategic gameplay.
Mr. Fanservice: Matt is an attractive young man with a handsome face and a buff, athletic body. He has many Shirtless Scenes, especially on the live feeds.
Noble Demon: He became a it more edgy and villainous during the last weeks of the game with how intense he played the game and how he talked negatively about some of the houseguests, but he's still ultimately a good person outside the game. He's very loyal and would have taken Jag to the end if he had won the Final HOH.
No-Damage Run: Matt wasn't nominated or put on the block until the Final 4. He made it all the way to the Final 2 and is the only houseguest of the season to not have a single vote to evict against him.
Poor Communication Kills: He absolutely bombed his answers during the jury questions. His epoch was slightly better, but it did nothing to say any jury votes in his favor. Jag, on the other hand, was very solid at answering all the jury questions and he had an excellent final speech. Matt's poor jury answers cost him the win against Jag.
The Runner-Up Takes It All: Jag may have won the game, but Matt was the more popular houseguest amongst the viewers and fans. Matt won $80,000 being the runner up and winning the Luxury Competition. He was in the Top Three vote getters for winning the America's Favorite Houseguest prize. He earned an acting gig on the Bold & The Beautiful. He may potentially date his crush Reilly post show. His best friend Jag won the show and remained loyal to him till the end. Matt has the most followers out of all the houseguests on social media (Instagram), second only to Cirie. Jag may have won the season, but it's clear Matt (and Cameron) outshine him in many ways.
Ship Tease: He had shades of this with Reilly before she was evicted. Matt confessed to her that he had a crush on her, and it seemed like they were going to be in a showmance. However, she was evicted in the second week before any relationship with Matt formed. When Matt wins HOH in Week 13, he receives a written letter from Reilly congratulating him on his victory and confessing her feelings for him. According to Matt's HOH photos, Reilly had met Matt's mom.
Shirtless Scene: Matt can be seen without a shirt a lot of the time, especially on the live feeds. This is part of what makes him a Mr. Fanservice.
The Social Expert: Matt has one of the best social games of the season. He's not the strongest competitor in challenges, but the primary reason he has made it this far is because he has been kind and friendly to everyone, and nobody (Except Hisam) wanted to single him out as a target.
Spanner in the Works: Had Matt chosen not to use his Power of Invincibility to save Jag from eviction in Week 4, this season could have gone entirely differently. Jag would have been permanently evicted, and Matt likely would have followed him out the door. Jag wouldn't have won numerous competitions and broken records. He and Jag wouldn't have infiltrated all the alliances and taken over the entire house. He and Jag wouldn't have run the game and been responsible for all the evictions during the jury phase. He and Jag wouldn't have been able to convince Bowie Jane to betray Cameron, scoop her up in their alliance, and earn her loyalty. Finally, he and Jag wouldn't have made it to the Final 2 together, with Jag winning the game and Matt being the runner-up. Matt's decision to use his power to save Jag arguably changed the entire course of the season and it's very likely that there would be two different houseguests sitting in the Final 2 if it wasn't for the move Matt made.
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: He and Jag take up a lot of the screen time on the live shows. It's understandable why since they are the most dominant duo of the season and Jag has won many competitions.
Those Two Guys: With Jag. They had a Final 2 alliance called "The Minutemen" which was inspired by "The Hitmen" from Big Brother 16. The Hitmen was a Big Brother alliance which included the duo Derrick Levasseur and Cody Calafiore.
Took a Level in Jerkass: Like Jag, Matt is still a decent and nice person overall, but it seems that the game has gone to Matt's head, and he has become more arrogant and cocky in the last few weeks of the game.
True Companions: He's this with Jag and Bowie Jane. They are his closest friends and allies in the game. They are in a Final Three alliance called "The Mafia" and they all have Undying Loyalty to each other.
Undying Loyalty: Downplayed. Matt is very loyal to Jag and they have a Final Two alliance called "The Minutemen". They are Heterosexual Life-Partners with tons of Ho Yay moments. However, despite their close friendship and their alliance, Matt contemplated turning on Jag in Week 11 after Cirie pitched the idea. Matt felt that it might have been a good move to get Jag, a very strong competitor, out of the game. He quickly nixed the idea and chose to remain loyal to Jag.
Ungrateful Bastard: Cory stood up for him, and he mercilessly blindsided Cory. Felicia told him Jag and Bowie Jane were mocking his Paralympian status, and Matt believes Jag blatantly lying to him, and wants Felicia out despite the fact she told the truth.
Worthy Opponent: Both Bowie Jane and Jag thought about cutting Matt at the Final 3 or Final 4 because they thought that he would be very difficult to beat in the Final 2. Interestingly enough, Jag took Matt to the Final 2 and managed to defeat him because Jag performed better during the jury questioning and speeches. It also was likely because he was the Yes-Man to Jag.
Yes-Man: Dear Lord, was Matt ever passive when it came to Jag. Matt just followed Jag's orders and did everything that he wanted. When Matt was HOH, Matt stated that he wanted Felicia out, but Jag argued that he wanted Cirie out of the house. Once Jag told Matt his plan to vote out Cirie, Matt didn't even fight for Cirie to stay and went along with Jag's plans. Matt was very passive in his gameplay style which is something the jury didn't respect despite his strong social game.

HOH Evicted Under: JAG

Voted For (As Juror): JAG

0% Approval Rating: Bowie Jane started out being reasonably well-liked by the fanbase at the beginning. People even saw her as the underdog during the first few weeks of the game because of how ostracized she was by some of the other houseguests. She garnered sympathy from fans when Cirie, Felicia, and Izzy gaslighted and bullied her after Red's eviction. However, any goodwill she had from the fans started to disappear in the second half of the game. She backstabbed one of her closest allies, Cameron, in Week 10 when she was the Head of Household (HOH) by backdooring him and sending him home. She turned against Cory and America and developed an Irrational Hatred towards them. She aligned with two of the strongest male competitors and players in the game, Matt and Jag, when she should have wanted to target abd get rid of them instead. She made numerous personal and petty comments about several houseguests that were unrelated to the game. She trash-talked Cameron, Cory, America, Cirie, and Felicia. She devised a plan with Jag called the "Pressure Cracker," which involved emotionally tormenting Felicia to ensure she wouldn't win any of the final four competitions. To top it off, she wasn't playing the game to win for herself; instead, she was playing for Matt and Jag to reach the end and win. Fans were annoyed when Bowie was cut by Jag after he won the Final HOH, and she was completely fine with it. This confirmed that Bowie Jane was nothing more than the Big Brother 25 equivalent of Victoria Rafaeli from BB 16. Some fans even said that Bowie Jane was the worst player of the entire season. By the time the season concluded, Bowie Jane was the most hated and unpopular houseguest. She ranked at the bottom of all the popularity polls, including Jokers Updates HG Ratings poll and Big Brother Network Popularity Poll. Not only was Bowie Jane not liked or respected by the fans, but she had zero respect from the jurors because they felt like she was nothing more than a puppet for Matt and Jag and was doing all of their dirty work for them. If Bowie Jane had reached the Final 2, both Jag and Matt would have defeated her in a unanimous 7-0 vote because nobody on the jury liked her or respected her gameplay.
The Ace: Bowie has never been nominated or targeted for eviction for the whole season. Bowie Jane is the last female houseguest and the last houseguest overall to be nominated on Big Brother 25. She received her first nomination by default on Day 98 after losing Part 2 of the Final HOH competition. Due to this, Bowie Jane holds the record for the most consecutive days without being nominated for eviction. Bowie Jane is the tenth houseguest to make it past Day 78 without ever being nominated. The other houseguests are Derrick Levasseur (BB 16), Austin Matelson (BB 17), James Huling (BB 18), Nicole Franzel (BB 18 and 22), JC Mounduix (BB 20), Holly Allen (BB 21), Tommy Bracco (BB 21), Enzo Palumbo (BB 12 and 22), and Matt Klotz (BB 25). In addition to this impressive feat, Bowie Jane is the tenth houseguest to reach the Final 3 without ever being nominated in a single season. This accomplishment puts Bowie in the company of Danielle Reyes (BB 3), Jason Guy (BB 3), Jillian MacLaughlin (BBC 1), Derrick Levasseur (BB 16), Anthony Douglas (BBC 7), Enzo Palumbo (BB 22), Cody Calafiore (BB 22), Tychon Carter-Newman (BBC 9), and Todrick Hall (CBB 3). Her social game has been strong, and she aligned herself with key players in the game, such as Jag, Matt, Cory, and America. In a season which has been dominated by male competitors and men have won the vast majority of the competitions, she is the only woman who has won the Head of Household competition three times.
Action Girl: She's the strongest female competitor of the season and has won three HOH titles. She is the only woman to win more than one HOH title all season.
Affably Evil: Bowie Jane is friendly and approachable towards the other houseguests, always wearing a smile on her face. However, she has proven to be very petty about the other houseguests behind their backs and has had no problem with betraying others to benefit Jag and Matt's game.
All the Other Reindeer: Bowie was one of the most bullied and ostracized houseguests of the season. Cirie, Felicia, and Izzy all made fun of her behind her back. They consistently excluded her from the loop when it came to game plans, which made her feel left out. She ended up turning the tables on Cirie and Felicia. When she gained some power in the latter half of the game, she used it to target them and give them the same treatment that they had given her.
Ambiguous Gender: Bowie Jane self-identifies as non-binary, queer and gender-fluid. She is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community.
Awesome Aussie: She's Australian (originally from Melbourne) and the strongest female competitor this season, having snagged up 3 HOH wins.
Awesome McCoolname: Her name, Bowie Jane Ball, is pretty awesome to say. However, her actual given name is Miranda and Bowie Jane is her stage name.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Bowie Jane wanted to align herself with two highly athletic males who were formidable competitors and had been dominating the game. She ended up being cut at Final 3 after Jag won the final HOH competition and chose his ride or die partner, Matt, to go to the Final 2.
Because You Were Nice to Me: Why she aligned so much with Jag and Matt. Some of the houseguests, like Felicia and Cirie, repeatedly kept her in the dark about their plans. This made Bowie Jane feel isolated. Jag and Matt successfully gained Bowie's loyalty by including her in their game plans and treating her with kindness and respect on a personal level.
Berserk Button: Don't leave her out of the loop! She was unaware that her allies at the time (Felicia and Cirie) had targeted Red instead of Jag, and she did not react positively to this news. She began to question her loyalties in the game.
Beware the Nice Ones: Bowie Jane has always presented herself as an enthusiastic, upbeat, and energetic Plucky Girl. However, recent weeks have revealed that she has a very unpleasant and confrontational side to her personality. She's definitely not the sweet, nice person that she has been portraying herself as throughout the game.
Beware the Silly Ones: She's quite quirky and zany, yet she's the strongest female competitor of the season. She won three HOH titles, and in addition to that, she was never nominated until the Final 3. It seems that people didn't take Bowie Jane seriously enough to view her as a legitimate threat to make it to the end and possibly win. So, they never felt the urgent need to target her.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Bowie Jane appeared as if she were a pleasant, happy-go-lucky, and kind person. However, Bowie's attitude and behavior have become increasingly negative, particularly after she acquired some power. She has repeatedly criticized Cirie, Felicia, Cory, and America, and has made petty and personal comments about all of them. Most of her unpleasant behavior becomes apparent whenever she is around Jag and Matt. It has been quite shocking to see such a dramatic change in her behavior over the course of the season. Bowie Jane started out as an isolated, bullied, and ostracized houseguest, but now she has revealed herself to be the biggest mean girl of the season.
The Bogan: Heavily downplayed. Most of the time, Bowie is very friendly and pleasant. However, Bowie has revealed a very catty and unpleasant side of her personality in the later weeks of the game. She has made some very nasty, mean, and personal remarks about some of the other houseguests, unnecessarily bashing them. Some fans have commented that Bowie's provocative language makes her appear low-class and trashy.
Boyish Short Hair: Bowie Jane has the shortest hair out of the female houseguests along with Izzy and Felicia, who is bald-headed.
Brainy Brunette: Bowie Jane is a brunette and she's a barrister, which is a type of lawyer, for a living. Nobody would expect her to be a barrister because she is a very quirky and offbeat in how she carries herself.
Broken Tears: She has an emotional breakdown after Red's eviction and after she realizes that she had been blindsided by her people who she thought were her allies (Felicia, Cirie, Izzy, Jared).
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: One look at her and you would not think she is a barrister. She's quite a quirky fellow.
Crusading Lawyer: Bowie Jane is a barrister, a common law lawyer who specializes in courtroom advocacies and litigations.
The Cutie: Bowie Jane was very lovable and endearing, especially in the first half of the game. It could be subverted now as in the second half of the game, she has become progressively negative.
Deadpan Snarker: She's incredibly sarcastic and humorous. Her Diary Rooms featured the classic Australian deadpan humor.
The Dog Bites Back: See also All of the Other Reindeer.
Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Bowie Jane has very black hair and is pale-complected.
Female Misogynist: All of her primary allies were men. She was aligned with Red, Cameron, Jag, and Matt. She was part of a majority female alliance called Bye Bye Bitches, which included Izzy, Cirie, Felicia, and Mecole. However, she turned on all of them and chose to align with the male houseguests. She seemed to have a tendency to align with strong male competitors because she believed they could provide her with a sense of security.
Funny Foreigner: This Australian is of the more lively house guests this year.
Girlish Pigtails: Bowie has Boyish Short Hair, but one of her signature hairstyles is wearing her hair in mini pigtails.
Graceful Loser: Jag evicted Bowie Jane at the Final 3 and she took her eviction very well. She even voted for Jag to win even though he was the one to evict her earlier.
Hollywood California: Bowie Jane is originally from Melbourne, Australia, but she currently lives in Los Angeles, California.
Hot-Blooded: Bowie is quite feisty, spunky, and emotional. Many of the decisions she has made in the game have been based on emotion.
In-Series Nickname: Her nickname was FBJ, which translates to Fucking Bowie Jane. This nickname was coined by Felicia.
Irrational Hatred: Bowie Jane harbored a strong aversion towards Cory and America. She had been targeting them for weeks and was desperate to get them out of the house. When she won the Double Eviction HOH during Week 12, she nominated America and successfully evicted her from the house, fulfilling her long-held desire.
The Lad-ette: Bowie Jane is tomboyish, has Boyish Short Hair, and seems to prefer the company of men.
Large Ham: Bowie Jane is a very expressive, fun-loving and lively houseguest. She has a very big personality.
Last of Her Kind: Bowie was the last female standing of the season. She made it to Final 3 before being cut by Jag after he won the Final HOH and took Matt to the Final 2.
Lipstick Lesbian: She's a mix of this and Butch Lesbian. She has feminine attributes but she also has Boyish Short Hair and is The Lad-ette. Bowie self-identifies as queer, gender-fluid and non-binary. She is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community.
Locked Out of the Loop: In Week 5, she wasn't informed that the target swapped to Red from Jag. This made her quite upset and rethink her allegiances. She's also routinely been the one player left out of most alliances.
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: Of a sort - Bowie Jane was firmly aligned with the adults of the season being in her forties. However, because she was Locked Out of the Loop with regards to the Red eviction, she started to rethink her allegiances.
Nice Girl: One of the sweetest house guests this season, never having anything too negative to say about anyone. Downplayed in the water weeks of the game—she has trash talked many of the former houseguests behind their backs.
No Indoor Voice: Bowie Jane has a very loud, over the top and dramatic voice, especially during her DR sessions. This is understandable since she is a DJ.
One of the Boys: Bowie Jane is a tomboy and seems to prefer the company of men. All of her main allies in the game have been men, including Cameron, Red, Matt and Jag. She is in a Final 3 alliance with Jag and Matt called "The Mafia".
Out of Focus: As a result of being one of the least strategic house guests, she's not shown much in the feeds or the edited episodes.
Perpetual Smiler: She's always smiling.
Platonic Life-Partners: Bowie Jane is very close friends and allies with Jag and Matt. They have been aligned with each other since the second half of the game. Her alliance with Jag and Matt is called "The Mafia".
The Pollyanna: Bowie is always upbeat and is almost always seen with a smile on her face.
Puppet King: Matt and Jag were using Bowie Jane to do all of their dirty work and take out their wanted targets. Bowie Jane may have won three HOH's but Jag and Matt were controlling all of them.
The Smart Girl: Bowie Jane is a barrister, which is a type of lawyer who specializes in courtroom advocacy and litigation. Bowie having a law degree means that she is very book smart and educated. However, she is also a DJ for a living.
The Smurfette Principle: Bowie Jane is the last remaining female in the Final Three. The other two houseguests in the Final Three are both men, Matt and Jag.
Springtime for Hitler: When she tied Felicia in the Week 10 HOH competition, Bowie attempted to throw it by giving a ludicrously low answer to the tie-breaker math question. However, Felicia gave such a ludicrously high answer (~40,000 when the answer was ~10,000) that Bowie won anyways.
Tank-Top Tomboy: Bowie Janes wears many tank tops and it's one of the clothing items that she's seen wearing most of the time.
Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Bowie Jane is tomboyish but she's very feminine in many ways. She likes wearing makeup, wearing pink and dressing up.
Took a Level in Jerkass: Bowie is generally a nice person, but she has been acting more mean-spirited in the past few weeks of the game. She has spoken negatively about several houseguests, including Cirie, Felicia, Cory, and America. Some of her comments about the houseguests are not related to the game and are very personal and petty in nature.
Undying Loyalty: Bowie Jane has shown to be very loyal to Matt and Jag. She formed a Final Three alliance with Matt and Jag called "The Mafia". Any moves she has made in the game has been to benefit Matt and Jag's game instead of her own.

HOH Evicted Under: BOWIE JANE

Voted For (As Juror): MATT

Action Mom: Subverted. It was believed that Felicia would win many competitions as she came in clutch by winning an HOH in Week 3. However, she has not won a single competition since then. Instead, she consistently underperformed in the majority of the competitions and was particularly terrible in the physical and endurance ones.
Alpha Bitch: Felicia is very willing to gossip about the younger players in the house. She has a sense of superiority in that she believes that she is better than the younger players because she is older and wiser. She and Cirie would constantly badmouth the younger houseguests, including Cameron, Cory, America, Jag, Matt, and Bowie Jane. Nobody was left untouched when it came to Felicia trash-talking them. Cirie was her Beta Bitch for the entire season.
Bald Head of Toughness: Felicia is bald and is a tough, tenacious and badass Cool Old Lady.
Bald of Evil: Felicia is the mega Alpha Bitch of the season and she has no hair at all.
Big Beautiful Woman: Felicia is a heavier set woman, is very stylish and Cleans Up Nicely.
Big Fun: She's a larger set woman and she has a fun, humorous Large Ham personality.
Boyish Short Hair: Exaggerated. Felicia is bald-headed and has the least hair out of all the female houseguests. The other female houseguests with short hair are Bowie Jane and Izzy.
Brutal Honesty: Felicia is extremely blunt and says exactly what's on her mind. Her big mouth is what made her a target and made houseguests want to nominate her eight times.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: She's very much a funny person - to be fair, real estate agents aren't exactly a dead-serious position.
Butt-Monkey: Felicia has been nominated the most out of all the houseguests this season aside from Cameron. As of the Final Four, Felicia has been nominated a total of eight times. She's become the Victoria Rafaeli (BB 16), John McGuire (BB 17), or Spencer Clawson (BB 15) of the season, being the perpetual nomination pawn.
Card-Carrying Villain: Felicia made it very clear from the start that she was playing the game guns blazing and that she is a very confrontational person. Felicia was the certified Alpha Bitch of the season and was the cause of many of the confrontations,arguments and fights.
Cloudcuckoolander: Felicia can be very fun, but she has a tendency to be rather quirky, out there and zany. Her antics and behavior has rubbed many people the wrong way.
Cool Old Lady: Felicia is the oldest houseguest of the season at 63. She can be a barrel of fun despite her age, and she wins the Week 3 HOH.
Deadpan Snarker: Felicia is by the far the most snarky and sarcastic houseguest of the season. Everything that she says seems to be dripping with disdain and bitterness.
Drama Queen: Felicia has a tendency to dramatize every single thing. She can be very over the top and she does have a tendency to complain about the smallest things.
Fat Slob: Felicia is not the most hygienic person. She doesn't seem to shower too often and she farts all around the house.
The Gadfly: She often causes trouble with her alliance with Cirie.
Gasshole: Felicia has been known to clear rooms by farting.
Go-Getter Girl: She earned a bachelor's degree when she was 45 and went on to earn a masters degree at 55. She's also a former veteran who served in the military.
Good Is Not Soft: She can be tactless at times but mostly cares about everyone in the house.
Grumpy Old Woman: Felicia exhibits tendencies of being rather tempestuous, grumpy and volatile. She spoke negatively about many of the younger houseguests. She would create unnecessary problems in her alliance with Cirie. She could be rather snappy from time to time.
Happily Married: Felicia is happily married to her husband, Dwayne. She is one of the married houseguests of the season, along with Izzy and Cirie.
Hysterical Woman: Felicia would have some crazy and over the top emotional outbursts which would make many of the other houseguests very uncomfortable.
Intergenerational Friendship: With Jared and Mecole, two people young enough to be her children.
Hot-Blooded: She has quite a passionate, volatile and tempestuous personality when she is provoked. She can go off at any minute and she has no issue with calling people out.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's usally aloof and talks down to many of the players, but she's does have quite a few Pet the Dog moments and can be nice at times.
Karmic Eviction: It was her who coined the nickname "FBJ" to refer to Bowie Jane (It means "Fucking Bowie Jane") and repeatedly bullied and shit-talked her behind her back. It's Bowie Jane's head of household she was evicted under.
The Lad-ette: She has Boyish Short Hair (more like she's completely bald), used to serve in the military (which is very male dominated), curses like a sailor and has no issue with passing wind.
Lady Swears-a-Lot: Felicia curses alot especially when she is pissed off.
Large Ham: She has a very distinct laugh and is one of the big personalities of the season.
Master of None: Felicia wasn't good at any aspects of the game, whether it were the social, competitive or strategic aspects. She had a terrible social game and her many times being nominated proved this fact. She sucked at competitions and only won one crapshoot Head of Household competition in Week 3. Finally, she had mediocre strategic abilities and Cirie was the one pulling all the strings in their alliance.
The Millstone: Felicia consistently underperformed and was ineffective in the majority of the competitions this season. She only won one HOH title, and that was back in Week 3. She became a perpetual nomination pawn for the other houseguests to use in order to help take out the bigger targets. It's questionable how she managed to make it so far in the game since she isn't particularly strong in any of the aspects (social, strategic, competitive) of the game.
Mistaken for Related: Cameron claims she's related to Denzel Washington. Nobody believes him because he's dead wrong.
No Brows: Felicia appears as if she has no eyebrows. She does have them but they aren't noticeable.
Older Than They Look: Felicia is 63 and is the eldest houseguest of the season. Many people are shocked about her age because she looks so much younger.

The Pig-Pen: Felicia has rather unhygienic habits. She doesn't seem to shower that often and she farts all over the house.

Sassy Black Woman: Oh most definitely. She's not afraid to speak her mind.

Supreme Chef: According to Jag, Matt and Bowie Jane, Felicia is a very good cook and they all enjoy her food. They comment on the live feeds that they miss her cooking after she is evicted.
Team Mom: Along with Cirie, Felicia is the maternal figure of the season.

Evicted: 2-0

HOH Evicted Under: MATT

Voted For (As Juror): MATT

The Ace: She managed to make it all the way to the Final Five without winning a single competition this season. Much of her success in getting her that far has to do with her strong social and strategic game.
Action Mom: Subverted. Cirie excels in strategy and social game, despite her lack of success in competitions. She has successfully maneuvered her way to the Final Five by demonstrating a strong social and strategic game.
Action Survivor: Cirie managed to make it all the way to the Final Five without winning a single competition. Much of this is thanks to her great social game and her ability to manipulate others.
Affably Evil: Cirie is excellent at pretending to be your friend or ally and then turning around and stabbing you in the back! Part of the reason why Cirie is so good at manipulating, lying and backstabbing others without them realizing it is because Cirie comes across as so charming, friendly and disarming. She displayed this demeanor throughout her Survivor career and it's no different on this season of Big Brother.
Anti-Villain: Cirie's game moves and strategies aren't inherently mean-spirited or malicious, but she can be very mean and petty towards the other houseguests, particularly those she doesn't trust or those she's not aligned with. She excels at feigning friendship and support, only to betray and abandon those she no longer finds beneficial. This is the same strategy that she has utilized throughout her Survivor career, so it's no surprise that she applied the same strategy on Big Brother.
Badass Adorable: She's a Survivor legend, an excellent social and strategic game player and is very likeable and disarming.
Badass Boast: Cirie is not afraid to use threats and intimidation tactics if he feels it will further her game or her son's game.
Berserk Button: Targeting Jared or Izzy is a surefire way of Cirie wanting to get revenge.
Beta Bitch: With Izzy to Felicia's Alpha Bitch. They're much better at hiding their disdain for the younger players, though, and Cirie at least has a soft spot for her son.
Big Bad Duumvirate: With Izzy. It's clear they're likely much nicer people outside of the game but the production seems to be giving them a negative edit. Later with Jared her son.
Big Beautiful Woman: Along with Felicia, she is one of the heavier set women of the season and she's very youthful and attractive.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Cirie pretended to be friendly with Matt, but she was actually speaking negatively about him and making ableist comments behind his back.
Breakout Character: Cirie is one of the most popular players on Survivor. Coming into the house, she had fanbase support from Survivor fans. She was in the Top 3 to win the America's Favorite Houseguest prize at the end of the season, but Cameron won the prize.
Break the Haughty: She did NOT take Jared and Izzy's evictions well. Both of her made her realize she wasn't as in control of the game as she thought.
The Cassandra: Cirie wanted to target Jag at around Final 6 because she could see that he was a big threat and a dangerous player. After Cirie was voted out, Jag admitted in his goodbye message to her that he voted her out because she knew that she wanted to get him out of the house. Cirie admitted that he was right that she wanted to target him. Cirie was proven correct about Jag being a dangerous player because he ended up making the Final 2 and winning the season.
The Chessmaster: Cirie was pulling many of the strings in the early part of the game. She was using her son Jared as her Puppet King to carry out all of her plans. Izzy and Felicia were The Dragon for her.
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Subverted. Despite Cirie's reputation for being a backstabber and a liar, she was very loyal to the people she was aligned with. She was very loyal to Izzy, Jared, and Felicia. She took it very hard when Jared and Izzy were evicted. And she was loyal to Felicia to an extent but she did think about turning on her because Felicia was too chaotic and unpredictable.
Cool Old Lady: Cirie, at 53, is the second oldest houseguest of the season after Felicia, who is 63. Despite being the second oldest houseguest of the cast, she gets along well with the much younger houseguests and easily blends in with them.
The Determinator: Cirie is a highly persistent and determined individual. When she wants something done, she will do whatever it takes to get it, even if it means lying, scheming, manipulating, and backstabbing. She desperately wanted Cory out of the house, so she made it her mission to evict him after he was the one responsible for evicting Jared.
Diminishing Villain Threat: As the season progresses, Cirie has less and less control over the houseguests and the game. In the first five weeks, Cirie, Jared, Izzy, and Felicia were dominating the game and were in complete control strategically. Her power in the house takes a huge hit after Cameron wins HOH in Week 6, nominates Izzy and Felicia, and sends Izzy home. She takes another major hit when her son Jared is evicted by Cory during the Double Eviction in Week 8 and then permanently evicted after Cameron defeats him in the Battle Back in Week 9. After Izzy and Jared are sent packing, another one of her allies, Mecole, is evicted in Week 9 by Cameron. By the time the Jury phase begins, Cirie only has Felicia and Matt, but even Matt starts to develop more loyalty to Jag than to her. By Final 5, Jag and Bowie easily pick off Cirie and send her home because she wasn't able to win a competition to save her life in the game.
Disc Three Final Boss: Cirie was a huge threat to get to the end and win the game. She was the one who was controlling the game in the first half of the season. Jag and Bowie Jane catch onto her game and vote her out at Final Five.
The Dreaded: Some of the houseguests, for example Cory, were scared of and intimidated by Cirie knowing that she is a Survivor legend and is excellent at lying, manipulating and backstabbing. Her being a legendary player from Survivor and someone who is known to be a very good strategic and social player made her a force to be reckoned with.
Evil Gloating: Cirie would brag whenever she feels she has outsmarted someone in the game during her Diary Room sessions. She seems to light up like a candle whenever she successfully believes she has played or manipulated someone into doing what she wants.
Evil Is Petty:
- Cirie could act very petty about the other houseguests. She had no issue with trash talking some of the houseguests behind their back while pretending to be friendly towards them. She has made ableist comments about Matt, has bashed Cory and America, has made comments about Jag's turban and has made fun of Bowie Jane's physical appearance.
- Cirie also expressed disappointment if not flat out surprise that Jag and Bowie Jane intended to vote her out at final five. When she wanted to do the same to Jag.
Evil Matriarch: Cirie can be seen as one of the major villains of the season as she is manipulating and controlling aspects of the game. She is Jared's mother and much of his game decisions have been influenced by her.
Evil Virtues: Even if her strategies involve lying and manipulating people, it is clear that she cares a lot about Jared and Izzy.
Epic Fail: Fell right out of two endurance competitions within less than a few minutes.
Graceful Loser: Cirie took her eviction rather well, considering one of her allies, Matt, was resposible for her being sent home. She admitted during a jury segment that she was rather upset that Matt followed Jag's orders and didn't fight for her to stay in the game. Despite her disappointment with Matt, she still voted for him to win in the end since she was not drinking the Jag koolaid from the beginning.
Greater-Scope Villain: Jared may have seemed like the obvious villain and Big Bad in the earlier part of the game, but Cirie was actually the biggest threat. She was the one pulling all the strings and orchestrating many of the game's decisions behind the scenes.
Guile Hero: Since her manipulations is only to win the game, she has never used lies as a way to hurt others.
Happily Married: Cirie is happily married to her husband, H.B. She is one of the married houseguests of the season, along with Izzy and Felicia.
Intergenerational Friendship: She has this with Izzy, Mecole, and Matt. She has a very close relationship with all of them and is old enough to be Matt and Mecole's mother.
Invincible Villain: Went ten weeks before being nominated, yet everyone else (besides Matt and Bowie Jane) have been nominated at least once. This is probably due to her puppet master nature involving her allies. Even when she was on the block, she wasn't actually in danger. Subverted as of Week 13, where she is the target and Jag and Bowie Jane have caught onto her game and plan on voting her out.
It's Personal: Cirie's reasonings for wanting to target Cory and America have everything to do with the fact that Cory was the one responsible for getting Jared out.
Karmic Eviction: It's Jag, Bowie, and Matt who get her evicted from the game. The three people she shat on the most after America.
Lady Macbeth: All of Jared's game decisions were influenced by Cirie.
Laser-Guided Karma: It's Bowie Jane who nominates her - the person she left Locked Out of the Loop. It fortunately doesn't stick, but by week thirteen she's plans to vote out Cirie over Felicia. Not only did Bowie Jane no longer trust Cirie, but she believes that Cirie is a dangerous player.
Like a Daughter to Me: She has welcomed Izzy into the Fields family. She also has a very close relationship with Matt.
The Load: Similar to her time on Survivor, Cirie has proven time and again that she is terrible at competitions, especially competitions of a physical or endurance nature. Where she excels are the strategic and social aspects of the game.
Knight Templar Parent: She is extremely protective of her son in the game. When Cory evicted Jared, she made it her mission to get him out of the house. It was clear that she was going to embark on a vengeful warpath against Cory.
Mama Bear: Cirie is extremely protective of her son, Jared. When Jared was evicted, she didn't handle it well and made it her personal mission to evict Cory from the house. Cirie felt devastated that she couldn't prevent her son's eviction in and it was a moment of vulnerability for her.
Manipulative Bitch: In true Cirie fashion, she was definitely pulling many strings behind the scenes this season. She masters the art of emotionally manipulating other houseguests. By Final Five, Jag, Matt and Bowie catch onto Cirie and her manipulative tactics and realize that she is a very dangerous player before she could slither her way to the Final Two.
Mighty Glacier: She's awful at endurance and physical competitions, despite being rather physically strong.
My Beloved Smother: Cirie had complete control over Jared, and any decisions he made in the game were approved by her. She was heavily involved in Jared's relationship with Blue and was hesitant to accept their showmance.
Older and Wiser: She is a Survivor legend and therefore, has experience in a game about lying, manipulating and backstabbing. She clearly had an advantage in the game due to her experience in reality television.
One Degree of Separation: She's Jared's mother. However, nobody in the house knew that they were related. The only people who found out about Cirie and Jared's relationship were the pre-jury evicted houseguests. Blue figured out that Cirie was Jared's mother before she was evicted.
Outliving One's Offspring: Outlasted her son in the game. What's worse, the reduced jury means he's not even in the jury.
Plucky Girl: Cirie is rather upbeat, optimistic, and has a positive attitude. However, there have been plenty of moments during the season when Cirie was tired of being in the house and wanted to be voted out. Though she had plenty of friends and allies, there were several houseguests she didn't care for, and she despised many of the punishments she was subjected to.
The Queenpin: In the first half of the season, Cirie is the one who is controlling and dominating the game. Cameron winning HOH and putting up her two allies, Izzy and Felicia, puts a huge dent in Cirie's control and ultimately weakens her position in the game.
Running Gag: Never got picked for the veto. That manages to change later on however. But she never actually wins any Vetoes this season.
The Smart Girl: She's a brilliant strategic player and manipulator. She's also a surgical director for a living.
The Social Expert: Cirie had one of the strongest social games of the season. Since she is not good at competitions, she had to depend on her social game to make it in the game. She was excellent at making everyone feel good but then stabbing them in the back.
The Strategist: Just like her days on Survivor, Cirie is undoubtedly one of the season's most formidable strategic players. Despite not winning any competitions, she has skillfully schemed and manipulated her way to the Final Five. Cirie was the most strategically influential player in the early part of the season.
Straw Hypocrite: She expressed annoyance that Jag and Matt were going after her at final five... when she wanted to do the exact same thing.
The Woman Behind The Woman: Cirie was pulling many of the strings in the early weeks of the game. She was involved in all of her son Jared's game decisions. She had been the one to convince Matt to use the Power of invincibility to save Jag from eviction. However, when Izzy, one of her closest allies, and Jared, her son, were evicted, she realized that she wasn't as in control of the game as she had believed.
Team Mom: She and Felicia are the maternal figures of the season. Cirie is the second oldest houseguest of the season after Felicia. She is extremely protective of her son, Jared. She also exhibits nurturing behavior towards the younger houseguests, including Mecole, Kirsten, Blue, Jag, Matt, and Cory.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: With Blue. Cirie wanted very much to evict Blue to keep her from distracting Jared. Once Jared was evicted, Cirie found herself having to work with Blue.
Took a Level in Jerkass: Cirie is pulling no punches now willing to be petty, spiteful, and even ableist to Matt.
You Look Familiar: She has appeared on Survivor and the American version of The Traitors, winning the last one.
Verbal Tic: Similar to her Survivor confessionals, Cirie has a habit of laughing mid way through her sentences when she is talking during her Diary Room sessions.
Villainous Mother-Son Duo: Cirie and Jared, who are mother and son, were the Big Bad Duumvirate for the earlier part of the game. They were the most dangerous duo in the house and were the ones controlling everything.
Worthy Opponent: Bowie Jane and Jag both wanted her out of the house at the Final Five because they realized what a significant strategic and social threat she was. They knew that if she managed to win a few competitions at the end, she had a very good chance of winning the season. They also believed that Cirie was a significantly more dangerous player and a greater threat than Felicia. This is why Bowie Jane and Jag decided to eliminate Cirie instead of Felicia, despite Matt, the HOH, wanting Felicia out and having a closer relationship with Cirie.
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Cirie tries to pull this on Cameron in Week 6 following Red's eviction. Cirie insists that she and the rest of their alliance voted out Red because he was being a terrible friend and ally to Cameron, and they couldn't trust him because of it. Cameron confessed in the DR that he saw right through their act and knew that they were full of it, trying to manipulate him. In the process, Cirie tried to portray herself as a victim while justifying her decision to vote out Red and blindside Cameron.

HOH Evicted Under: BOWIE JANE

Voted For (As Juror): JAG

Action Survivor: She managed to get all the way to the Final Six despite being in a underdog position until she was voted out during Double Eviction in Week 12 for being the biggest game threat left to the dominant alliance. She managed to keep the target off her back after being the obvious next eviction after Cory was eliminated, successfully convincing Jag that she was on his side and was able convince him to target someone else that week as HOH.
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Subverted. America has occasionally flirted with Cameron, the resident bad boy with a heart of gold, but she prefers the nice guys like Cory.
Aluminum Christmas Trees: Some viewers actually thought her name "America" was a nickname - it's actually not. Amongst Latin American people and the Hispanic community, the name "America" actually is a name, albeit a somewhat uncommon one.
And There Was Much Rejoicing: From the Final Five houseguests after she was evicted during Double Eviction. The Final Five, consisting of Matt, Jag, Bowie Jane, Cirie, and Felicia, all cheered and celebrated her eviction as soon as she walked out the door. They were cordial to her while she had just been evicted but it was a whole different story as soon as the front door slammed shut. It turns out that not too many people liked America in the house and were happy to finally be rid of her. Cirie has wanted Cory and America out for weeks because they were responsible for Jared's eviction. Felicia simply despised Cory and America, finding them both incredibly irritating. Matt has disliked America since the beginning of the game because he finds her untrustworthy and wishy-washy. Jag turned against America once he found out from Blue that America was planning to target him and Matt, and put them on the block together if she won HOH. Bowie Jane wanted America out and had just put her on the block. She was happy to have her target finally out of the house. It's safe to say that the Final Five houseguests did not have a "God Bless America" mentality while she was in the house.
Ascended Fangirl: In her introduction, America stated that she is a superfan of the show and that she had been watching the show since she was ten years old. She has made shoutouts to Jokers Updates, a Big Brother website.
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: With Cameron. Their relationship has been on and off and rocky, but they ultimately care for each other and are friendly towards one another.
Backstab Backfire: America throwing Jag and Matt under the bus during her live eviction speech during the first eviction of Double Eviction resulted in her being evicted second after Blue was evicted.
Badass Adorable: Downplayed. America has proven that she can be a force to be reckoned with in competitions. She came in second place in the Pressure Cooker HOH competition, which lasted a grueling 14 hours. America later admitted to Cory that if she didn't make the deal with Cameron to give him the HOH, she could have lasted just as long as Cameron. America also holds the fastest women's time in the history of the BB Comics competition.
Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: America is one of the most girly and feminine female houseguests of the season and she can often be seen wearing tops which show off her midriff.
Battle Couple: Cory and America were a power duo socially and strategically in the game. They were significant threats because they excelled at social and strategic gameplay and were involved in multiple alliances. Their survival in the game depended on their social game.
Belligerent Sexual Tension: She had shades of this with Cameron. America would act annoyed by Cameron, but she would also reciprocate his flirtations and they acted like Vitriolic Best Buds who would argue and bicker with each other.
Beware the Nice Ones: America does not take her blindside by Jag in Week 11 well, even telling him to "Fuck off".
Birds of a Feather: With Cameron. America admitted on the feeds that she enjoys conversations with Cameron because they share common interests. They both love Big Brother and are avid superfans of the show. America has been watching the show since she was ten, watches the live feeds and shouts out Big Brother websites. Cameron has been watching the show since it began in 2001 when he was twelve. He's watched every season of the show and he's applied to be on the show seven times. They are both pop culture enthusiasts. They are both from the South. Cameron is from Georgia and America is from Texas. They both have Mexican heritage. America is full-blooded Mexican American and her parents are Mexican immigrants. Cameron is half-Mexican through his mother.
Book Smart: America is an Ivy Leaguer, having graduated with a degree in Biology from Brown University
Brainy Brunette: America is a brunette, book smart and a medical receptionist for a living. She showcased her puzzle smarts on night 1, taking 1st place in the puzzle component of the day 1 safety competitions.
Break the Cutie: After being backstabbed by Jag and Matt in Week 11, she falls into a deep depression and stays in bed for almost an entire day. She was sobbing uncontrollably for the rest of the day after being blindsided by Jag. Cory had to practically coax her out of bed. She does get better though.
Broken Pedestal: America thought very highly of Jag and Matt and thought they were her closest friends and allies in the game. In Week 11, her perception of both of them is shattered and she views them negatively. Jag blindsides her and Cory by putting them on the block together. America doesn't take this blindside well, gets furious at Jag, and then falls into a deep depression. It was all downhill from there and after Cory was evicted, America made it her mission to target Jag and Matt out of revenge.
Crocodile Tears: America does this in Week 5 to avoid becoming the renomination target after Cameron wins POV. It works in her favor.
Cute Bruiser: She may be petite in stature, but she was an absolute powerhouse in the Pressure Cooker competition. She came in second place after Cameron making a deal for safety for herself and her number one ally Cory in the competition. He and America stayed in the box for a staggering 14 hours.
The Cutie: America is very lovable and endearing. Just don't get on her bad side.
Damsel in Distress: America has been put on the block four times. She was the most vulnerable in Week 11 after Jag blindsided and betrayed her by putting her on the block alongside Cory. She was not the intended target that week (Cory was), but she was at her most distressed during that specific week.
Dude Magnet: America attracted the attention of Cory and Cameron. She only showed romantic interest in Cory however.
Et Tu, Brute?: America did NOT take it very well when Jag betrayed and blindsided her by putting her and Cory on the block together in Week 11. When Jag asked America if she wanted to talk to him, America snapped at Jag and told him to F off. She felt so betrayed that she laid in bed depressed for almost an entire day.
The Fashionista: Similar to Blue, she likes to dress up in nice clothes and do her hair and makeup for all of the live shows.
Fatal Flaw: In postgame interviews, America admitted that her emotions were her fatal flaw in the game.
Femme Fatale: America is one of the most flirtatious female houseguests of the season. She has openly admitted to flirting with Cameron and she was engaged in a showmance with Cory.
Form-Fitting Wardrobe: Many of her clothes, especially the outfits she wears during the live shows, are very tight fitted and show off her physique.
The Friend Nobody Likes: Interestingly enough, many of the houseguests have said that they never trusted America in the game. They thought she was shady and not someone who could be relied upon as an ally. Red has never liked America and felt that she was using Cameron and Cory as part of her strategy. Hisam felt betrayed by her and did not trust her. He felt like she was responsible for him being blindsided in Week 3. Izzy didn't connect with America on a personal or strategic level, and they were on opposite sides of the house. Jared couldn't stand America and was targeting both her and Cory. Mecole felt betrayed by America and called her out for being a liar after she was evicted and walked out the door. Matt despised America and had no tolerance for her, both personally and in terms of the game. Jag used to like and trust America, but he turned against her once he realized that she was sneaking around and telling other people, specifically Blue, that she was targeting Jag and Matt, and that they were targeting Blue. Jag said that America was a snake in the grass and couldn't trust her. He showed just how much distrust he had in her when he blindsided her and put her and Cory on the block together in Week 11. Cirie has wanted America and Cory out for weeks because they were responsible for Jared's eviction in Week 8. Blue hated America and has also wanted her out for weeks because she was guilty by association for Jared's eviction. Cameron was deeply infatuated with America, but his relationship with her was very rocky due to jealousy issues regarding her relationship with Cory. Felicia found America, and by extension Cory, very irritating and wanted them to leave. Felicia grew to strongly dislike America when she called her out for lying about wanting to go to the Final Four with Cory, Felicia, and Mecole. Since then, Felicia has never trusted America. Bowie Jane was briefly associated with America (and Cory), but she considered her untrustworthy due to her shady behavior. Bowie Jane put America on the block during the Double Eviction and sent her home in Week 12. The only person in the entire house who genuinely enjoyed America's company and trusted her completely in the game was Cory.
The Friendly Texan: America is a friendly but spunky Nice Girl who is originally from Edinburg, Texas.
Genius Ditz: America is book smart outside of the game, but when it comes to playing Big Brother, she's one of the weakest competitors of the season. America wasn't particularly strong in any aspect of the game, whether it was in terms of competitiveness, social, or strategy. America reached the Final 6 by coasting and relying on the support of Matt, Jag, and Cory.
Genki Girl: America has a very excitable, energetic and hyper personality, especially during her Diary Room sessions.
Girly Bruiser: America was a legitimate contender to win the Pressure Cooker HOH competition, an endurance competition, in Week 4. She strategically and ultimately threw the competition to Cameron ( to avoid showing her allegiances that early in the game, making a deal to protect herself and Cory) where she was the runner up to him and placed second in the competition.
Girly Girl: She's one of the most feminine and girly houseguests of the season, especially in comparison to some of the other female houseguests like Bowie Jane and Izzy, who are more of The Lad-ette.
Girl Next Door: America is a sweet, approachable and friendly Southern girl from Texas.
Good Is Not Nice: America is a Nice Girl in genera, but when someone gets on her bad side, she can be quite spiteful, malicious and nasty. Just ask Jag about how America treated him after he betrayed her and blindsided her.
Graceful Loser: Zig-zagged. On one hand, she said her vote was for the biggest snake in the house... but she also admitted it was because she felt he did the best out of those two.
Head-Turning Beauty: America is a rather stunning young woman. It's no wonder she attracted the attention of Cory and Cameron.
Heroic BSoD: She has a major breakdown after being betrayed and blindsided by Jag in Week 11. Jag put both America and Cory on the block together after Jag won the Secret HOH and both Jag and Blue had won the Double Vetoes. America was so upset that she stayed in bed for the entire day and refused to talk to anyone.
Hospital Hottie: America is a Head-Turning Beauty and a medical receptionist for a living. Her job involves scheduling medical appointments for patients in hospitals, laboratories or clinics, maintaining records and accounts of patients and making billing inquiries. Medical receptionists have extensive knowledge about medical terminology and healthcare procedures.
Hot-Blooded: America is quite spunky, feisty, passionate. She is a Spicy Latina after all! She can be over emotional, which is what caused her downfall in the game, as she admitted in one of her exit interviews.
It's All My Fault: After being blindsided and nominated alongside Cory by Jag in Week 11, America admits that it's her fault they are on the block and Cory was going to be evicted that week. She admitted her fault in opening her big mouth to Blue about getting out Jag and Matt. Blue, who still harbored resentment towards Cory and America for Jared's eviction, blabbed about Cory and America's plans to Jag and Matt. It was this situation that prompted Jag to take action and blindside Cory and America by nominating them together.
It's Personal: At first, America wanted to target Matt and Jag for strategic, game-related purposes because they were a dangerous duo and the biggest threats in the house. Her targeting of them became completely personal after Jag nominated Cory and America together in Week 11, ultimately betraying and blindsiding them in the process.
Kill the Cutie: America was the second houseguest evicted during the Double Eviction in Week 12.
Location Theme Naming: Her first name is America, which is a common feminine given name among the Hispanic or Latin American community. As a result, she is named after all the Americas, including North America, South America, and Central America. She can also be named after the country, the United States of America.
Locked Out of the Loop: In Week 12, America was completely blindsided when Jag, the Secret HOH, put her and Cory on the block together. Jag and Blue won the Double Veto. Blue, who was nominated, used the Veto to remove herself on the block and Jag replaced her with America. Jag used the Veto on Felicia and replaced her with Cory. Everyone was aware of Jag's plans to nominate Cory and America, except America and Cory themselves.
Mrs. Robinson: Heavily downplayed. America is almost 28 and Cory just turned 22. There is a six year age difference between the two. Many have commented that America seems to be more mature than Cory.
Ms. Fanservice: America is a very attractive woman who likes to wear some revealing clothes from time to time.
Nerds Are Sexy: She's a book smart Brainy Brunette, a medical receptionist, and a Head-Turning Beauty.
Nice Girl: Along with Cory, Matt, Bowie and Jag, she's one of the nicest houseguests of the season. However, it's very unwise to even think about betraying her. Her emotions will get the best of her.
Odd Couple: Many fans like her relationship with Cory but there are others who think that they are the strangest couple and don't make any sense together. Some of commented that they find Cory and America a strange couple because America seems a lot more mature than Cory.
One of the Boys: Despite being the biggest Girly Girl, all of America's main allies and close personal relationships were men, including Cameron, Jag, Cory and Matt. Her number one ally was Cory, since he was her showmance. The female that she was closest to was Bowie Jane, but America turned on her.
Out of Focus: Hasn’t been shown that much on the episodes after weeks 3-4. Subverted later on as she begins her showmance with Cory as well as becoming a bigger strategist.
The Pawn: America would sometimes be nominated and put on the block to get a bigger target out of the house, such as against Cameron in Week 7, Cory in Week 11, and Blue in Week 12. She was no longer used as a pawn to take out a bigger target and became the actual target and was evicted after Bowie Jane won HOH and Matt won POV during Double Eviction in Week 12.
Platonic Life-Partners: She thought she was this with Jag and Matt. That is until they both blindside and betray her by putting them on the block together in Week 11. Her friendship with both of them became severely strained. Matt never liked America and wanted Cory out for weeks.
Plucky Girl: America always has a very optimistic and positive outlook on things. However, she began to lose hope in the game when she and Cory were blindsided by Jag in Week 11.
The Pollyanna: Subverted. At first, it seemed as though America was the eternally optimistic and upbeat person. However, come Week 11, and she reveals a more serious and edgy side of her personality. America completely changes when she is backstabbed or betrayed by people she is closest to and her normally sweet natured personality fades away.
Ship Tease: She seems flattered that Cory is attracted to her. The two end up dating later on.
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: The main reason why America is attracted to Cory is because of his kind, genuine personality.
Southern Belle: America is originally from Texas, but she currently resides in New York.
Spicy Latina: America is Mexican-American descent. She's a genuinely a nice person but she can be very emotional and volatile if she is betrayed or double-crossed. After Jag betrayed her and Cory by putting them on the block, America was very snappy with Jag and told him to "F—- off".
Spoiled Brat: Matt accused America of acting like one when she was put on the block with Cory in Week 11.
Theme Naming: Along with "Red" and "Blue". There seems to be a very patriotic theme going on this season. The patriotic names makes sense since the theme of this season a=is Big Brother Comics Verse and there are many comic cook characters who have a patriotic superhero names and aliases.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her choice to go behind Jag and Matt's backs to warn Blue of their plan of eviction for Week 11 after Jag had partly trusted both America and Cory to share his and Matt's strategy as well as his secret HOH, is what led to their change-of-heart to blindside both America and Cory. Blue had apparently still harbored some resentment toward Cory and America (for Jared's eviction) and due to both's reputations as master manipulators at the time had not yet come to fully trust a word America said. Blue also still appeared to be somewhat loyal to Matt and Jag by then, and would then go on to inform them both about what America had told her, promptly alerting the secret HOH. Cory, who had initially no knowledge of America's choice unfortunately paid the price since it led to his eviction.
Will They or Won't They?: With Cory. She genuinely loves him but isn't sure if they can be inna relationship after the game.
Woman Scorned: She did not take it very well when Jag and Matt betrayed her. In jury, she admitted that she was very salty and bitter towards both of them and that she was rooting for Cirie and Felicia to make it to the end and win instead. Since Matt and Jag made it to the Final 2, she was forced to vote for one of them and she ended up voting for Jag.
Yaoi Fangirl: America seemed like she shipped Matt and Jag together. She acted excited when Matt and Jag had a Ho Yay moment when they were pretending to text each other and asking each other on a date.

HOH Evicted Under: JAG

Voted For (As Juror): JAG

0% Approval Rating: Nobody in the house really cared for Blue on a personal level, except Jared. Everyone was targeting her and they wanted her out of the house. After she was evicted, nobody missed her and her mean girl behavior. She was also very unpopular on many of the polls, such as the Jokers HG Ratings poll or the Big Brother Network Popularity poll. Her association with Jared, who was very unpopular, didn't help matters.
Action Survivor: She's not the best competitor, but she went as far as she did due to being aligned with certain people. She did come in clutch by winning the Power of Veto in Week 11 when she was nominated and the intended target. Her winning the POV helped to ensure her safety and Cory's eviction that week.
Affectionate Nickname: Cameron gave Blue the nickname "Blue Jasmine". He would then proceed to sing "A Whole New Word"from Disney's Aladdin to her after coining her the nickname, which made for a good live feed moment.
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Blue was in a showmance with Jared, who is controlling, aggressive and a bit of a bully.
Alliterative Name: Her first name Blue and her middle name Bada both start with the letter B.
All the Other Reindeer: Blue wasn't liked by many of the houseguests and they all wanted her gone, especially after Jared, who was the previous house target, was evicted in Week 8 by Cory.
Alpha Bitch: Blue can be very controlling, manipulative, catty, and domineering, having a habit of gossiping about the other houseguests behind their backs.
Animal Motifs: Cats. Blue's catchphrase is "Kitty Kitty Purr".
Asian Airhead: Blue came across as a bit of a ditz in the game. She seemed to be more into having a showmance with Jared than about furthering herself in the game.
Asian and Nerdy: Downplayed. Blue is more of a fashionista but she definitely has shades of nerdiness.
Asshole Victim: Blue was a rather mean spirited houseguest who acted personal and petty. She was blindsided when she was unanimously evicted in Week 12. Jag had told her she was safe and not the target and that America was going home over her. When Blue was evicted, nobody in the house was that sad over it.
Arch-Enemy: Cory and America. Ever since Cory evicted her showmance Jared, she’s been hellbent on getting him out. America is guilty by association due to her connection with Cory.
Awesome McCoolname: Her first Blue and her middle name Bada are very unique and cool to say. If you combine both names together, it sounds like Blue Betta, which is a species of fish.
Big Applesauce: She's originally from Riverside, California, but she currently resides in New York City.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: On the surface, Blue looks cute, sweet and innocent, but she was one of the biggest trash talkers who constantly talked negatively about the other houseguests.
Brutal Honesty: Blue is excessively blunt to the point where everything she says is cutting. her honesty and frankness got her in trouble.
Catchphrase: "Kitty Kitty Purr".
The Chew Toy: Blue lost her closest ally, Jared, during the Double Eviction in Week 8. As a result, she became the primary target in the house, and everyone wanted her gone after Jared's eviction. She has been nominated the most this season, alongside Cameron and Felicia. After Jared leaves, nobody really likes Blue on a personal level, and they all want to get rid of her. All of her allies have turned on her. In Week 12, she was nominated by Jag but then informed that she is safe and not Jag's target. During the eviction, Blue is blindsided when she is unanimously evicted by a 4-0 vote against her Arch-Enemy, America. Not only was she blindsided but she was evicted over America, someone she disliked.
Colorful Theme Naming: Her first name is Blue and she is named after the color...blue.
The Creon: Blue was happy to let Jared take the reins with regards to strategic game decisions. She would end up reaping all the benefits from them anyways.
Deadpan Snarker: Much of what comes out of Blue's mouth is dripping with sarcasm and snark.
The Determinator: She was determined to get the entire house to target Cory and America out of revenge for them being responsible for Jared's eviction. She managed to succeed—Cory was evicted in Week 11 and America was evicted after her during Double Eviction in Week 12.
Distracted by the Sexy: There's no doubt that her showmance with Jared painted a huge target on her back and made her public enemy number one with everyone.
The Dragon: She was this for Jared, who was regarded as being one of the main villains of the season. Jared and Blue were the duo who were in control of the first half of the game. Their dominance and control ended with Jared's eviction in Week 8. That didn't stop Blue from wanting revenge for Jared's eviction and targeting Cory and America.
Dragon Ascendant: After Jared is evicted in Week 8, Blue makes it her mission to take out Cory and America as an act of revenge. Even though Jared was no longer present, Blue continued to carry out Jared's work. She successfully managed to get both Cory and America out of the house, both before and after she was evicted. In Week 12, Blue threw Cory and America under the bus to Jag. Blue informed Jag, who had won the Secret HOH, that Cory and America were targeting him and Matt. Jag and Blue won the Double Power of Vetoes and used it to remove the original nominees. Blue removed herself from the block and was subsequently replaced with America by Jag. Jag then used the Power of Veto on Felicia and removed her from the block. He put up Cory as a replacement for Felicia. Cory was evicted that week. After Blue was evicted first during the Double Eviction in Week 12, America was evicted immediately following her. Blue was directly responsible for Cory and America's demise in the game, which is what Jared would have wanted.
Dragon Their Feet: Her main ally Jared, the Big Bad, was evicted during the Double Eviction in Week 8. Cory won HOH and was responsible for evicting him. Blue, along with Cirie, made her goal to get rid of Cory and America in order to avenge Jared's eviction. She managed to succeed when Cory was evicted in Week 11 and America in Week 12.
Et Tu, Brute?: Blue didn't take it well when Cory won the Double Eviction HOH in Week 8 and got Jared evicted. She sought revenge against Cory and America.
Expressive Hair: Blue has large streaks of dyed blonde hair overlapping with her black hair. The contrasting colors make her hair stand out.
The Fashionista: She dresses very stylishly for the live shows.
Fatal Flaw: Her emotions caused her to screw over America and Cory as she was upset with them over Jared. This also caused her to become seen as unreliable.
Femme Fatale: There's no doubt that she was using her feminine wiles on Jared to get farther in the game. Her showmance with Jared may have been a strategic move on her part.
Form-Fitting Wardrobe: Many of Blue's outfits were form-fitting and showed of her physique.
The Friend Nobody Likes: Blue was friends with Cameron, Matt, and Jag, but they didn't really care for her, and they both wanted her out of the house because of how scheming and unreliable she was. Cory and America couldn't stand her and wanted to get rid of her since she was their Arch-Enemy. Even Cirie was hesitant to accept that Blue was in a relationship with her son, Jared. The only person who seemed to genuinely enjoy her company in the game was Jared. And even Jared's relationship with Blue was questionable.
Genki Girl: Blue has a very excitable, upbeat personality.
Gossipy Hens: Blue is the biggest gossip in the house next to Cirie and Felicia. In fact, it would often be Blue, Cirie and Felicia gossiping together about the other houseguests.
Graceful Loser: She admitted that Jag and Matt were playing the best games and didn't hold it against them.
High Glass Gloves: Blue can be seen wearing fancy and fashionable gloves as part of her outfit. Blue is The Fashionista after all.
It's Personal: Blue's reasonings for wanting Cory and America out of the game had everything to do with Cory being the one to get Jared evicted. She managed to manipulate Jag and Matt into turning against Cory and America.
It's Personal with the Dragon: Though Jared was Cory's main Arch-Enemy, Blue was also very antagonistic towards Cory and desperately wanted him out of the house. Not only did she want him out for game-related reasons, but she also disliked him on a personal level. Her animosity towards Cory extended beyond the game, and she would consistently badmouth him behind his back.
Large Ham: She’s very over the top with her fashion, mannerisms, and catchphrases, which is only dialed up to a ten during her Diary Room segments.
Manipulative Bitch: She managed to convince Jag and Matt to betray Cory and America, who were in their alliance. Blue spilled to Jag that Cory and America had plans to target Jag and Matt if they were to win the HOH competition in the upcoming weeks. Blue's manipulations proved successful when Jag, who won the Secret HOH, blindsided Cory and America by putting them on the block together. This move ensured that one of them would be evicted. Well played, Blue.
Motor Mouth: Blue simply can't stop talking or running her mouth. Her loose lips made her a target and got her evicted.
My Death Is Only The Beginning: Shortly after she is evicted, America follows her to Jury.
Ms. Fanservice: Blue is an attractive young woman and wears many form fitted outfits and clothing.
The Pollyanna: Zig-zagged. While Blue initially gives the impression that she is a very optimistic, upbeat person, and oftentimes is, she also certainly has moments where she’s negative, gossipy, and scheming.
The Resenter: She had it out for Cory and America because Cory was the one who was responsible for Jared's eviction. She made it her mission to avenge Jared by painting a huge target on Cory and America's backs. She manages to succeed when she rats out America to Jag and Matt about America and Cory wanting to put Matt and Jag on the block if they were to win power.
Secret-Keeper: It's implied she figured out (or was told) that Jared and Cirie might know each other.
Ship Tease: She had a showmance with Jared, but he was evicted in Week 8. This put their relationship on halt. It's uncertain if their romance will continue in the real world.
Smug Snake: Blue informed Matt and Jag that she and Cory had planned to target them in the upcoming week if she won the HOH competition, betraying America. Blue smugly stated in the Diary Room that she was responsible for nominating Cory and America, and ultimately sending one of them home.
The Stool Pigeon: Blue is the biggest gossip in the entire house, often divulges many conversations she has with numerous houseguests. She was the one who informed Matt and Jag about America's intention to target them if she won an HOH competition. Blue uses this information to poison Matt and Jag against America and Cory. This information is what prompted Jag, as the Secret HOH, to blindside Cory and America by putting them on the block together.
Tear Jerker: Moments before her live eviction she had confronted Cirie to tell her she knew she and Jared were related and cried as she told her it was an honor to play the game with her.
Theme Naming: Along with "Red" and "America", it's obvious there was a Patriotic theme.

Evicted: 5-0, Day 79

HOH Evicted Under: JAG

Voted For (As Juror): JAG

Affectionate Nickname: Jag gave him the nickname "Skeezy" or "Skeez".
Annoying Youngest Houseguest: Cory is the youngest houseguest of the season. He is often picked on by the others because of his immaturity. Some of the houseguests have called him an immature brat because he acts like a know-it-all from time to time.
Arch-Enemy: Jared and Blue were Cory's biggest enemies in the game. He was successful in evicting Jared when he won HOH and he targeted Blue and wanted her out of the house.
Action Survivor: Cory only won one HOH, but he made it as far as he did through having a good social and strategic game.
Always Save the Girl: Cory was very protective of America in the game and would have done anything to keep her safe. Unfortunately, he couldn't protect her in Week 11 when Jag put him on the block against her. Cory said that he didn't want to campaign to stay against America, but he ended up campaigning anyway. Cory admitted, however, that he cared more about America and its progress than about his game.
Ascended Fanboy: Cory is self-proclaimed Big Brother and Survivor fan. He's watched every single season of Survivor since the first season. It was why he was so intimidated by Cirie because he knew what a good strategic and social player she was. He's a fan of Big Brother as well and his fave players are Ian Terry (BB 14), Steve Moses (BB 17) and Eric Stein (BB 8)
The Baby of the Bunch: Cory is the youngest houseguest of the season. He was 21 at the start of the game and turned 22 on September 29 while he was in the house. Due to his young age, the other houseguests would either coddle him or underestimate him.
Badass Adorable: He's a pretty good competitor and he's very lovable and endearing. He won a clutch HOH title during the Double Eviction in Week 8 and managed to get rid of his Arch-Enemy and biggest target, Jared.
Badass Bookworm: Cory is a decent competitor and very intelligent in terms of book smarts and strategy in the game. His reads about the dynamics and the other houseguests were pretty accurate.
Bash Brothers: He was best friends with Jag and Matt until Week 11. However, Jag ended up turning on Cory when he nominated him and America after discovering that Cory and America had been secretly planning to target him and Matt. Jag and Matt obtained this information from Blue, which prompted Jag to take the action he did.
Battle Couple: Subverted. Cory and America weren't strong in terms of competitions, but they were a power duo socially. They were significant threats because they excelled at social gameplay and were involved in multiple alliances. Their survival in the game depended on their social game.
Beware the Nice Ones: Cory is a nice person, but it is unwise to betray him or America. It was surprising to see how well he took being blindsided by Jag when he nominated him and America in Week 11. In addition, he finds it inappropriate to be petty and make personal attacks about other people. Cory was very angry when Jared made ableist comments about Matt and used a derogatory term for America (the R-word).
Big Damn Heroes: Winning HOH during the Double Eviction in Week 8 and being the one to send Jared home earned him some major points with the viewers.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Cory was underestimated because he was the youngest houseguest of the season. But he's very intelligent, perceptive and had the best reads on the house dynamics.
Butt-Monkey: Cory has been a Have-Not three times, making him the houseguest who has been a Have-Not the most this season. He has received a few punishments as well. In Week 1, he was temporarily banished for losing the Scary-Verse safety challenge. In Week 4, he received a Have Not punishment, which meant he could only eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the entire week instead of the usual slop. He received this punishment for his placement in the Pressure Cooker competition. In Week 11, he is betrayed by his best friend in the house, Jag. Jag wins the Secret HOH competition and blindsides both him and America by putting them on the block together. Cory is forced to campaign against America, but ends up being evicted in the end.
Cannot Talk to Women: Cory is very endearingly awkward around the opposite sex, especially around girls that he likes. This is evidenced by his early interactions with America.
Can't Hold His Liquor: Cory gets drunk rather easily, according to the live feeds. A few drinks, and he's out cold.
Cloudcuckoolander: Many houseguests felt that Cory was a very quirky and odd fellow. They didn't always get his sense of humor or jokes.
Cute Bookworm: Cory is one of the most lovable and endearing houseguests of the season and he's a very book smart. He has plans to attend law school in the future.
The Cutie: Cory is a very lovable guy with a lot of endearing quirky moments, and is the youngest houseguest this season.
Darkhorse Victory: Subverted. Cory ends up getting evicted in the early jury phase, but according to the other jurors, Cory had a very good chance of winning the game if he was in the Final 2 chairs. The vast majority of the jurors said in an interview that Cory was playing the best game and that if he made it to the end, they would be inclined to vote for him.
Deadpan Snarker: Cory definitely has a very sarcastic and snarky sense of humor. Some fans have commented that they don't aways find what Cory says as funny because his type of humor is so sharp.
Did Not See That Coming: Cory was completely blindsided in Week 11 when Jag put both him and America on the block together. He took the blindside rather well, considering that he knew he would have done the same to Jag and Matt the following week if he won HOH.
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Cory won the HOH competition during the Double Eviction in Week 8. He put Jared and Blue on the block together, ensuring that one of them went home. Jared ended up being evicted, but he became a Big Brother Zombie. He was permanently evicted after Cameron defeated him in the Battle Back competition.
Ditzy Genius: Cory is very knowledgable about Big Brother and Survivor and he's quite intelligent in the game with regards to his reads on the house dynamics. However, he wasn't a strong competitor and this was his biggest downfall. He couldn't secure a competition win when he needed it the most to ensure his safety.
Endearingly Dorky: He's shown to have quite a lot of dorky tendencies like when he's asking America on a date, and just an endearingly sweet young man.
Everyone Has Standards: He said he was going to vote for Matt on Finale night... but because Matt refused to own up to his own game, voted for Jag who owned up to his game.
Face Death with Dignity: As soon as Cory was nominated in Week 11, he knew that he was the target and he accepted his fate that he was heading to Jury. That didn't stop him from trying to campaign to stay. Upon being evicted, he was a Graceful Loser and admitted that Jag made the right move because he had intended to target Jag and Matt if he had won HOH.
The Friend Nobody Likes: Nearly everyone in the house, with the exception of America, found Cory irritating. Cirie wanted Cory out because he was the one to get rid of Jared. Felicia found Cory and America irritating. Cameron wanted Cory out because of jealousy over him being with America. Jag and Matt wanted Cory out because they discovered that he was going to put them on the block if he won HOH. Blue despised Cory because he put her and Jared on the block during Double Eviction and was ultimately responsible for Jared going home. Bowie Jane used to be aligned with Cory but when Jag confessed he was going to put Cory on the block in Week 11, she was overjoyed and happy to blindside him. Cory's personality and quirks seemed to have rubbed people the wrong way enough for the vast majority of the house to want him out. After he was evicted, nobody was that sad to see him go.
Geek Physique: Cory is a certified nerd and he definitely has the body and physique of one. He's of the skinny variation.
Geeky Turn-On: America was attracted to Cory and she was engaged in a showmantic relationship with him during their time in the house.
Give Geeks a Chance: America is the classic pretty girl next door and Cory is a self-described nerd. They were involved in a showmance during the season.
Good Is Not Nice: Cory is generally a nice guy, but it's not wise to cross him or America. He may not also out in anger, but he will silently plot his revenge.
Graceful Loser: He was indeed hurt and surprised that Jag nominated him and America, but admitted that doing so was a wise move since he wanted to do the same thing to them.
Guile Hero: Cory's biggest strength in the house was his social game and strategic game. He had pretty excellent reads on the house and he was in a pretty good spot with many houseguests until America's big mouth screwed him and his position in the game over.
The Heart: Cory is the nicest and kindest houseguest of the season. He never made the game personal and everything he did was purely strategic.
I Coulda Been a Contender!: In an interview, the jurors were asked out of all of the houseguests sitting in the jury house, who played the best game? Nearly all the jurors said that Cory played the best game. If he had managed to get to the end, Cory had a very good chance of winning the season.
I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Subverted. After Cory was nominated alongside America in Week 11, Cory admitted in his Diary Room sessions that though he cared about staying in the game, he cared just as much about America and her staying in the game to have a chance. He knew that he was a bigger target than America and was willing to sacrifice his game so that America had a chance to go further after he's gone.
Intergenerational Friendship: Cory had an alliance and friendship with Bowie Jane, who is 23 years his senior.
In Touch with His Feminine Side: Cory is very emotionally sensitive and has no problem with painting his nails.
Jewish and Nerdy: Cory is Jewish, incredibly book smart and intelligent and is the embodiment of Endearingly Dorky.
Kid Hero: Cory is the youngest houseguest of the season. He can also be seen as Thehero archetype since so many of the other houseguests were unlikeable in the game.
Lovable Nerd: Cory is a huge nerd and he's very likeable and endearing. He fits the Endearingly Dorky trope to a T.
Motor Mouth: Once Cory gets to talking, he just can't shut up. His mouth has mgotten him trouble many times and his allies have had to clean up his blunders whenever he talks too much or talks game with people he shouldn't.
Nice Jewish Boy: Cory is Jewish and a Nice Guy. He's one of the nicest, kindest and humblest houseguests of the season.
Nice Guy: Cory is a genuinely nice and caring person. He seems to hate bullying and he stood up for Matt and America when Jared was being ableist towards Matt.
The Smart Guy: To the younger people he seems to be the one with the best read on everyone and has generally made very few enemies.
Older Than They Look: Cory just turned 22, but he still looks like a teenager. Luke commented during his Diary Room session in the first episode how Cory looks like he's under 21 and he needs a box of crayons because he looks like a kid.
One Degree of Separation: He's Zach Wurtenberger's younger brother. Unlike his brother who was voted out first, Cory managed to make it very far in the game, making it all the way to Week 11.
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Despite the obvious favoritism production has towards the Fields duo, the second Jared calls America the r word and proceeds to say Matt (who is deaf) misheard him, Cory doesn't let either of those incidents go unnoticed and stands up for both Matt and America.
The Smart Guy: Cory is intelligent and book smart. He wants to go to attend law school and become an attorney. In addition to his book smarts, he's rather strategic and perceptive in the game. His reads on the houseguests and the house dynamics have been very accurate.
Sensitive Guy Manly Man: Cory is the Sensitive Guy to Cameron's Manly Man. While Cameron is more intuitive, introspective and emotional in personality, Cameron is more rugged, edgy and aggressive.

Voted For (As Juror): JAG

Abhorrent Admirer: Cameron was very attracted to Reilly and America, but neither were interested in him. Reilly was evicted very early in the game and America, while she liked Cameron as a friend, was romantically interested in Cory over him.
The Ace: Cameron was one of the top competitors of the season. He is the strongest competitor next to Jag. He has won 3 HOH titles and 2 POV titles. He also won the Battle Back competition against Jared and made it back into the house. He's the only houseguest to have not been a Have Not for the entire season. His strategic game sense wasn't too bad either. His one weakness was his poor social skills. Almost everyone disliked him personally or didn't want to align with him in the game. If he had performed better socially, he could have achieved much greater success during the season. He also wins the America's Favorite Houseguest prize at the end of the season, racking up $50,000.
Action Dad: Cameron is a stay at home father and he's one of the strongest competitors of the season. He won 3 HOH's, 2 POV's and a Battle Back Competition the span of nine weeks.
Action Hero: Cameron is one of the most dominant male competitors of the season, along with Jared, Hisam, Jag, and Matt. During the season, Cameron won 3 HOH titles, 2 POV titles, and the Battle Back competition. If Cameron had stayed longer in the house, he would have been Jag's biggest competitive threat and likely would have won as many competitions as him.
Affably Evil: He can be friendly and nice towards the other houseguests, but he also likes to cause chaos through manipulation and sometimes uses psychological warfare, especially if he feels betrayed by people he trusts.
Afro Asskicker: Cameron, one of the most dominant physical competitors of the season, has a very thick, large mop of curly hair that he calls "Bertha".
All for Nothing: Cameron spent 14 hours in a box during the Pressure Cooker competition, only for his intended target that week, Jag, to end up avoiding eviction. Matt won the Power of Invincibility and used it to nullify Jag's eviction. Not only was his Head of Household (HOH) reign a complete waste because he didn't evict his target, but Jag ended up becoming the safest houseguest and one of the strongest players of the season. Jag (along with Matt) secured his place in nearly every alliance in the house, emerged as a competition beast (winning nine competitions), and ultimately made it to the end. Cameron, on the other hand, had worse luck. Despite his strong competitive prowess, he was a constant target and ended up getting evicted twice. Cameron had a very rough time in the house, and part of that can be attributed to his poor social game.
Alliterative Name: His first name, Cameron and his middle name, Christian, both start with the letter C.
All Love Is Unrequited: Cameron was attracted to America, but America was only romantically interested in Cory and saw Cameron as a friend.
All the Other Reindeer: Cameron was ostracized from the rest of the house due to his intense personality and his need to cause chaos. Cameron admitted that he had a bad social game and it prevented him from going further.
Alpha Bastard: Whenever he was HOH, he would become Drunk with Power and use it to cause chaos. His attitude wasn't pleasant for the other houseguests to deal with but he sure did provide a lot of entertainment for the the fans with his antics.
Arch-Enemy: Izzy. He couldn't stand her personally and on a game level. He disliked her so much that he won HOH and put her on the block against her friend Felicia in Week 6 and ended up being the one to send her home.
Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Cameron is a very dominant player and he would occasionally act cocky and arrogant whenever he was in power. The power would sometimes consume him that he would become Drunk with Power. Because of his antics, many of the other houseguests felt worried whenever he was in power because they never knew what he was going to do. He did provide much entertainment for the fans with his antics.
Ascended Fanboy: Cameron is a big fan of Big Brother and has been watching the show since it began back in 2001. This means that Cameron has been watching this show since he was 12 years old. He has applied to be on the show a total of seven times. Cameron's favorite Big Brother players are Dan Gheesling (BB 10 and 14) and Jeff Schroeder (BB 11 and 13), according to what he's said on the live feeds. He's such a big fan of Dan that he watches his Twitch videos. Cameron is a certified Big Brother super-fan.
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: With America. Their relationship has been on and off and rocky, but they ultimately care for each other and are friendly towards one another.
Bash Brothers: With Red in the first few weeks. Red was his closest ally in the house. They instantly bonded due to both being Southern dudes who identified as hill billies. They had an alliance called "The Chillers". When Red was evicted, Cameron was devastated and sought to avenge his eviction. After Red is evicted, he forms a bond with Jag and Matt. They form an alliance called "The Fugitives". They had different monikers: Cameron was "The Gunslinger", Matt was "The Bounty Hunter" and Jag was "The Outlaw". Cameron maintains a friendly relationship with Jag and Matt even after he is evicted and he rooted for them to win. At the end of the season, he expressed happiness that his fellow Fugitive alliance members made it to the Final 2 and he voted for Jag to win the season. Interestingly, all three members of The Fugitives swept the season and all won cash prizes. Jag was the winner of the season and won $750,000, Matt was the runner-up of the season and won $75,000 and Cameron was America's Favorite Houseguest and won $50,000. Not a bad ending for "The Fugitives" alliance.
Belligerent Sexual Tension: He had shades of this with America. America would act annoyed by Cameron, but she would also reciprocate his flirtations and they acted like Vitriolic Best Buds who would argue and bicker with each other.
Beneath the Mask: Cameron is very rough around the edges and loves causing chaos with his unpredictable gameplay. But he has a sensitive, emotional side that he doesn't reveal to the other houseguests. After winning HOH in Week 4, Cameron receives a heartfelt letter from his daughter, Stevie Ray. After everyone leaves, he cries Manly Tears by himself, clearly overwhelmed with emotion. Normally, Cameron is The Stoic and keeps an intense poker face to conceal his intentions.
Berserk Button: Being blindsided, lied to and left out of the loop by people he considers to be allies or friends really sets him off. He was extremely pissed when the house voted out Red over Jag and didn't inform him that he was going home. He used his HOH reign to get revenge for Red's eviction.
Big Brother Instinct: Cameron had this with Matt, Jag and to a lesser extent Cory. Cameron stated in a post season interview how he would always give Cory advice about life and like a typical annoying younger sibling figure, would shut him down and act like a know it all.
Big Damn Heroes: Cameron is viewed this way by many viewers after winning HOH in Week 6 and finally shaking things up in the game. He had just been blindsided by Red's eviction, and he was out for blood, seeking revenge. He ended up targeting the Terrible Trio, Felicia, Izzy, and Cirie. Cameron put Izzy and Felicia on the block with the intention of using Cirie as a replacement if the Veto was used. Izzy, one of the most disliked players among fans, was finally sent packing. The second time occurred when Cameron defeated Jared in the Battle Back competition, granting him a second opportunity to participate in the game. Not only that, but Jared ended up being permanently evicted after Cameron defeated him in the competition. Many people were happy about this because Jared was very unpopular, and they desperately wanted him out of the house.
Big Ol' Eyebrows: Cameron has somewhat bushy, unkempt eyebrows which are on the larger side. They're only noticeable if you focus on his face for a long period of time.
Birds of a Feather:
- With Red. Cameron found common ground with Red because they are both a Good Ol' Boy from the Deep South. Cameron is from Georgia and Red is from Tennessee and they identify as "hillbillies". They are also both fathers. They had an alliance called "The Chillers".
- With America. America admitted that she enjoys having conversations with Cameron because they share many common interests. They both love Big Brother and are avid superfans of the show. America has been watching the show since she was ten, watches the live feeds and shouts out Big Brother websites. Cameron has been watching the show since it began in 2001 when he was twelve. He's watched every season of the show and he's applied to be on the show seven times. They are both pop culture enthusiasts. They are both from the South. Cameron is from Georgia and America is from Texas. They both have Mexican heritage. America is full-blooded Mexican American and her parents are Mexican immigrants. Cameron is half-Mexican through his mother.
Bittersweet Ending: Cameron may not have won, and he faced many obstacles while playing the game this season (mostly due to his poor social game). But the casual audience and fans of the show had a lot of respect for Cameron and how he played the game. He brought a source of entertainment to the season and he was considered the underdog of the season. This prompted the fans to vote for him as America's Favorite Houseguest at the end of the season. Cameron's reaction to winning the prize was both heartwarming and unexpected for him.
Blood Knight: Cameron is a competition beast and he loves to put up a good fight. The vast majority of his game has been dominating in the competitions. Whenever he's in power, he has no issue lording it over the others and he has a love of getting blood on his hands.
Boisterous Bruiser: Cameron is a very rambunctious, over the top, chaotic personality. His antics got the best of him in the game. There were times when Cameron could be very fun and pleasant however.
Breakout Character: Cameron won the America's Favorite Houseguest prize at the end of the season.
Bruiser with a Soft Center: Cameron is a dominant physical competitor and The Brute, but he also has a soft and sensitive side. He's normally The Stoic but he has shed some Manly Tears throughout the season and has an empathetic and emotional side that he shows from time to time. He has become emotional and cried while reading an HOH letter from his daughter, watched a home video of his daughter during a jury house segment, and after he won America's Favorite Houseguest during the season finale. He took Red's eviction really hard and he was very deeply hurt when he and Red had a fight before he was evicted. He's rough around the edges and can be a hard-ass, but he's emotionally sensitive too. He is a Pisces after all.
The Brute: Cameron is one of the most dominant competitive and physical players of the season.
Brutal Honesty: Cameron speaks his mind and expresses his thoughts openly. Some of the things he says can be blunt, but the nobility in this is that he is honest.
Butt-Monkey: Cameron isn't liked by a lot of the house guests and was placed on the block for two weeks in a row. Things look up for him in Week 4 when he wins HOH by Revenge of the Pressure Cooker, only for Jag, his target who was initially evicted, gets saved by Matt's Power of Invincibility. Which means Cameron ultimately spent almost 14 hours in a box for nothing.
Cannot Talk to Women: Cameron can be pretty awkward around girls he's interested in, such as the case with America.
Casanova Wannabe: Cameron tried to appeal to Reilly and America. Reilly and America only see him as a friend and America was interested in Cory.
The Cassandra: Cameron desperately wanted Jag out of the house during the early weeks of the game. His reasons could have been personal, but it's likely that he saw Jag as a future threat in the game and wanted to eliminate him. It turns out that Cameron was completely justified in wanting Jag out because he did turn out to be the most deadly and dangerous competitor of the season.
Cassandra Truth: Before he was evicted, he straight up told Cory and America that they would be the next ones to join him in jury. Cory was evicted the following week right after Cameron and America was voted out second during the Double Eviction.
Catchphrase: "Daddy's home!"
Character Tic: Cameron's signature is flipping his mop of hair back.
Chekhov's Gun: Cameron told Jag that he would vote for him if he made it to the Final 2 before he was evicted from the house. He lived up to his promise when he voted for him to win the season against Matt.
Cloudcuckoolander: Many of the houseguests have commented that they find Cameron to be a strange, off-beat and quirky guy. Much of his odd behavior can be attributed to him having No Social Skills.
Competition Freak: He is one of the most dominant competitors of the season, having won three Head of Household titles, two Power of Veto titles, and the Battle Back competition. Cameron seems to take competitions very seriously and bases his entire game on winning them. The reason Cameron managed to make it as far as he did was because he won numerous competitions.
Control Freak: Whenever he is in a position of power, he becomes intoxicated by it. He enjoys being in control of things during the game. This was his major downfall. If Cameron had just relaxed and sat back while letting some of his allies take the reins from time to time, he may have made it farther.
Cool Shades: Cameron was often seen wearing black shades while he was in the house.
Cowboy: Cameron self identifies as a "space cowboy". He is the embodiment of a Good Ol' Boy from the Deep South and he's always wearing cowboy attire. He was dressed like one during his eviction in Week 10. He wore Southern looking attire and was sporting a cowboy hat. He is from the Southern state of Georgia after all.
Crazy Jealous Guy: He showed strong signs of jealousy over America and her relationship with Cory. He wanted to target Cory and get him out of the house because he was infatuated with her. He believed that if he were gone, she would be more likely to work with him and develop a closer relationship in the game. He never went through with putting Cory on the block when he was HOH in Week 9 because he didn't want to upset America.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Not only does Cameron defeat Jared in all three rounds of the Battle Back competition, including the Final round that ensure a second chance in the game and permanently sends Jared home, but he ends up winning HOH a few hours after winning the Battle Back competition. He also ends up winning the Veto and holds all the power in Week 9. This means that Cameron won five competitions in the span of less than two weeks.
Deadpan Snarker: Cameron is one of the snarkiest and sarcastic houseguests of the season. he's not afraid to turn up the shade against houseguests he doesn't like, such as Izzy for example.
Deep South: Cameron is from the Southern state of Georgia. During his eviction, Cameron was dressed like a Southern gentleman, sporting a cowboy hat.
Defeating the Undefeatable: Due to Cirie's large fanbase support from her appearances on Survivor and her status as a prominent reality television personality, it was assumed that she had the America's Favorite Houseguest prize in the bag. Cameron, as a newcomer to the game of Big Brother and reality television, appeared to be at a disadvantage compared to Cirie's strong and dedicated fanbase, despite the fact that he was leading in multiple polls to win the title. However, on the season finale night, Cameron ends up beating Cirie in the fan vote, and he wins the prize. Cameron is taken aback by his win, and it's a very humbling moment for him, likely bevause he didn't expect his popularity and he didn't expect to beat Cirie.
The Determinator: Cameron is one of the most tenacious and determined players of the season. Because of how hard he played and competed, he's viewed as an underdog figure.
Did Not See That Coming: He was completely blindsided when Red was evicted over Jag in Week 5. The people whom he thought were his allies, with the exception of Bowie Jane, who was also blindsided, left him out of the loop regarding Red being the target to go home. He felt betrayed and sought revenge against Izzy, Felicia, and Cirie after winning the HOH competition immediately following Red's eviction.
Disc-One Final Boss: Whilst Jared and Izzy were much more of a strategic threat, Cameron is very much a physical threat for winning three Head of households and two vetoes which made him a huge threat. The fact that he was neutral also made him quite a threat.
Distracted by the Sexy: Subverted. Though he was attracted to Reilly and America and he did flirt with America on occasion, he was always putting the game first and didn't seem interested in getting into a showmance.
Dogged Nice Guy: Cameron was very interested in America, but America only saw him as a friend. America was romantically interested in Cory instead.
The Dreaded: Cameron was one of the most feared houseguests of the season. Everyone wanted to get him out of the house, not only because he was a very strong and fierce competitor but because he was very unpredictable and chaotic and nobody knew what he was going to do.
Drunk with Power: Just about every time he wins HOH, he essentially uses it to cause as much chaos as possible. This was especially prevalent in Week 6, where he goes on a Power High as revenge on the house for Red's eviction.
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Cameron felt that nobody in the house respected him. He felt ostracized after Red's eviction, and he was desperate to form new alliances. Cameron's social game wasn't always the best because he caused chaos whenever he was in power. For a while, it seemed as though he had found new allies in Blue, Bowie Jane, Matt, and Jag, but his alliance with them was temporary. As soon as he returned to the game after winning the Battle Back, the houseguests were already plotting his eviction. Much of the reason why the other houseguests wanted Cameron out was because he posed a significant competitive threat, and they felt intimidated by him.
Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: After Cameron was blindsided and evicted in Week 5, Cameron went completely silent and his eyes went dull. Some viewers noted that Cameron looked scary and as if he was about to snap on everyone. He was clearly in shock over Red, but he was obviously simmering with anger.
Elimination Houdini: He's ended up on the block from Week 2 onwards, with the only times not being on the block when he was HOH. Even after he was evicted during the Week 7 double eviction, he won the zombie-themed Do-or-Die competition and returned to the game. It took until Week 10 and beginning of the jury phase where he was finally evicted for good.
Emotional Bruiser: Cameron is a hard-ass and a beast competitor, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't have his emotional and sensitive moments as well. Cameron shows his tender and emotional side while viewing a video of his daughter Stevie Rae in a jury house segment and after winning America's Favorite Houseguest. Both instances count as Tear Jerker and heartwarming moment for many fans.
Et Tu, Brute?: Cam did not take Red's eviction very well and he sought revenge against Cirie, Jared, Izzy and Felicia. He won HOH following Red's eviction and he sought to cause major chaos and shake things up. It was clear that he was out for blood and he was going to start playing the game with guns blazing.
Face of a Thug: Cameron has quite a stoic and intimidating face especially when he stares or gives a Death Glare to others. Izzy admitted that Cameron's facial expressions can be rather intimidating. His personality is rather rough around the edges as well, but he does have a sensitive and emotional side.
Family Man: He is separated but he's a very devoted father to his daughter, Stevi Rae. He admits that she is the best thing that he ever did in his life and his love for his daughter is very clear.
Fanservice Pack: Cameron got progressively more attractive as the season went on.
Farm Boy: In his introduction in the first episode, he seen riding horses on a farm house. It's understandable since he's a Good Ol' Boy from the Deep South.
Fatal Flaw: His biggest weakness was his social game. He did create alliances and build friendships with the houseguests early on, but they either betrayed him, turned against him, or ended up trusting the wrong people. He had a penchant for causing chaos while playing the game, which caused the other houseguests to distrust him. If Cameron had a stronger social game, he would have reached the end and had a shot at winning. Though his social game was severely lacking, his competitive and strategic skills were very solid.
Fire-Forged Friends: Cameron became this with Matt and Jag. They formed an alliance called "The Fugitives." Cameron had initially targeted Jag, but after winning the Battle Back, he expressed a desire to collaborate with him and Matt. Though Matt and Jag still wanted him out of the house, they managed to maintain a friendly relationship with Cameron after he was evicted for the second time. In his exit interview, he admitted that he was rooting for Matt and Jag to make it to the end, and he promised that he would vote for Jag in the Final 2.
The Friend Nobody Likes: Cameron was friends with Red, Bowie Jane, Matt, Jag, America, Cory, Jared, and Cirie, but none of them ever trusted him in the game. The main reason why nobody trusted Cameron is because he loved to cause chaos and drama and made the houseguests uncomfortable with his gameplay antics.
The Gadfly: Whenever Cameron found himself in a position of power, such as being the Head of Household, he would use it to create as much chaos and drama as possible. This wasn't pleasant for the houseguests to deal with, but it provided plenty of entertainment and made for good television for the fans and viewers.
Genius Bruiser: Downplayed. Cameron is a strong competitor, and he is actually a good strategist. However, his social game was severely lacking, and this is a key component to finding success in this game.
Genius Ditz: Cameron is an excellent physical competitor, a fairly decent strategist, and has a good understanding of the houseguests and house dynamics. However, his weakness was his social game, which ultimately led to his downfall. If he had a stronger social game, he would have been the biggest threat to reach the end and win.
Genre Savvy: Cameron is highly knowledgeable about the game of Big Brother because he is a devoted fan of the show. He is a strong competitor and is quite skilled at strategy. His only downfall was his social game, and he was completely self-aware of the fact that it was his biggest weakness.
Glass Cannon: Cameron is an excellent competitor and a decent strategist, but his social game was his biggest weakness and the other houseguests used that as an reason to get rid of him.
Good Ol' Boy: Cameron is a Southern guy from the state of Georgia. He has a bit of a Southern accent and he likes to wear Southern clothing and attire, such as cowboy hats and cowboy boots.
Graceful Loser: He took his eviction very well considering how much he was screwed over, how ostracized he was by the other houseguests and he left the house with class. He admitted in his interview with Julie that Matt and Jag were playing the best games and he hoped to see both of them get to the end.
Green-Eyed Monster: Cameron was jealous of Cory and America's relationship because he was infatuated with America.
Hair Flip: Cameron's Character Tic is to put his head forward and then flip his hair back.
Handsome Lech: Cameron is a physically attractive man who is rough around the edges and the embodiment of a Casanova Wannabe. Cameron wanted the attention from some of the attractive women in the house such as America and Reilly, but they didn't give him the time of day. Reilly didn't show any interest in being in a showmance and America showed interest in Cory instead of him.
Has a Type: Cameron seems to have a thing for attractive brunettes with very dark hair, brown eyes, and an olive complexion. He admitted that he had a crush on Analyse "Sis" Talavera from BB 21. America fits the physical type that he is attracted to, hence his infatuation with her during the season.
He Cleans Up Nicely: When Cameron dresses up in formal attire, such as during season finale, he looks very polished, well put together and handsome.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Red. Red was Cameron's closest ally in the entire house. After he was evicted, he felt completely ostracized and alone.
Hopeless Suitor: Cameron was attracted to America, but America only viewed him as a friend and was interested in Cory over him.
I Coulda Been a Contender!: Cameron could have been a a great contender to get to the end and win the game. He had a strong competitive game and his strategic game was solid as well. His one weakness was his social game. If he had a better social game, he would have been the biggest threat to get to the end and win the season. Cameron admitted himself that his social game was severely lacking and that if he had the opportunity to play the game again, he would reinvent his social game.
Innocently Insensitive: Cameron doesn't seem to realize that his devil-may-care attitude or some of the blunt comments he makes can offend people. He has a very dry and harsh sense of humor, and many people can misinterpret or take his words out of context. Cameron admitted that his social game was lacking, and his inability to tone down his attitude, along with his Brutal Honesty was what cost him in the game.
Intergenerational Friendship: Cameron admitted in post season interviews that he loves Cirie and he values her as a person. He has said that Cirie has given him a lot of advice regarding the reality television world and life in general and he considers her to be a mentor.
I Just Want to Have Friends: It is clear that Cameron desperately wanted to build new alliances and friendships with the others after Red was evicted. Unfortunately, his social game was not the best, and ultimately, this caused the other houseguests to be unwilling to work with him and led to their desire to evict him from the house.
It's Personal: His reasons for targeting Felicia and Izzy had everything to do with being responsible for his closest ally, Red, going home. Cameron mentioned that Felicia and Izzy had formed an alliance with two other males, Hisam and Red. He expressed his fear of being another male houseguest that they would target, as he was working with Izzy and Felicia like Hisam and Red were before they were evicted.
Jerkass Has a Point: Cameron wanting to target Jag in the earlier weeks was not without reason. Jag turned out to be the most dangerous competitor of the season and he ended up being the one to win the season.
Jerkass Woobie: He acted like a jerk and he liked to cause chaos whenever he was in power. However, he was ostracized by the other houseguests, was constantly a target, was nominated five times and was betrayed constantly by people he thought were allies. He was presented as the underdog figure of the season.
Jerk Jock: Cameron is a physical and competitive threat and he can be a major Jerkass. Despite his antics, he's still a decent dude outside of the game and he's more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Cameron can be rough around the edges, but ultimately, he's still a good man and his heart is in the right place. He played too hard and got carried away in the game which was ultimately his downfall. It's also very clear that Cameron is a loving and devoted father to his daughter and he does have a sensitive and emotional side of his personality.
Knight Templar: Cameron is one of the most ruthless players of the season and he loves to cause chaos, especially whenever he finds himself in power. He believed that manipulating everyone and keeping his cards close to his chest would benefit his game.
Let's Get Dangerous!: Cameron was completely blindsided and feeling down after Red was evicted. He, Red, and Bowie Jane believed that Jag was going home over Red. However, Cirie, Izzy, and Felicia switched the target to Red without their knowledge. Cameron and Bowie Jane were completely Locked Out of the Loop regarding Cirie, Felicia, and Izzy's plans to get Red out. Cameron was determined to seek revenge and target the trio: Cirie, Izzy, and Felicia. He wins HOH following Red's eviction and declares during his DR session that he's playing the game guns blazing and is determined to avenge Red's eviction.
Lovable Rogue: Cameron was a very roguish, mischievous, eccentric, outlandish player who loved causing chaos and unpredictability. But it was his antics whenever he was in power that made him popular among the viewers and why he was regarded as the most entertaining houseguest of the season. His unpredictable and chaotic gameplay, underdog status, intense competitive prowess, and edgy, rough-around-the-edges but sensitive, emotional personality ultimately earned him the America's Favorite Houseguest prize at the end of the season.
Manipulative Bastard: Showed shades of this during his Head of Household reign in Week 6. He used all of the houseguests like chess pieces out of revenge for blindsiding him during Red's eviction. He told each houseguest different things when it came to who he was going to nominate. He was engaging in psychological warfare, attempting to make everyone paranoid about his intentions. It worked, as nobody knew his true intentions and that he planned to nominate Izzy and Felicia, with Cirie as a backup target.
Manly Facial Hair: Cameron is very masculine and he sports a very noticeable, heavy beard.
Manly Tears: Cameron cried while watching a home video of his daughter Stevi Rae during a jury house segment. His daughter told him how proud she is of him and how brave, smart and strong he is even though he didn't win Big Brother. It was a certified Tear Jerker moment. He also shed some tears after winning the America's Favorite Houseguest prize at the end of the season. This was another heartwarming moment for the fans.
Mean Character, Nice Actor: Cameron had an Anti-Villain persona, and he had a penchant for causing chaos and unpredictability, which would send the other houseguests into paranoia. However, after he was evicted, he became more laid back and friendly, both during his eviction interview with Julie and in the jury house segments. His reaction to winning America's Favorite Houseguest showed that he did not expect to win the award, and he displayed humility in that moment.
Messy Hair: Cameron's curly mop is very disheveled and all over the place. His hair is his most noticeable physical feature and it's the first thing you notice when you look at him. He has nicknamed his hair "Bertha".
Mr. Fanservice: Cameron surprisingly has many female fans who love him and his edgy bad boy persona and Southern cowboy swagger.
Murder the Hypotenuse: Cameron attempts to backdoor Cory and send him home in Week 9 so that he could separate Cory from America. Cameron, being strongly infatuated with America, felt that if Cory was gone, Cameron and America would get personally closer and work together in the game.
The Napoleon: Inverted. Cameron is one of the shorter male houseguests of the season, being only 5'8". But he's more of The Stoic in temperament and his brand of anger is more of the Tranquil Fury kind.
Noble Demon: Cameron has an Anti-Villain persona and has a love of causing chaos, especially while he's in power. However, outside of the game, he's more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
No Social Skills: At least not with these batch of houseguests. It's not that Cameron isn't a sociable guy but he wasn't good at forming alliances with others. Cameron's biggest weakness was building good alliances which would help him further himself in the game. His only true ally was Red and he was evicted pre-jury. He tries to reinvent his social game after he was evicted the first time, but it doesn't work out for him.
Not Good with Rejection: Subverted. America friend-zoned Cameron and informed him that though she does flirt with him, she just sees him as a friend. She insisted to Cameron that she wanted to pursue a relationship with Cory outside of the house. Cameron took this surprisingly well, although he did show some signs of jealousy regarding America's relationship with Cory. He was also tempted to target Cory, but he decided against it when he realized how upset America would be with him if he made that move.
Not So Stoic: He was visibly shaken when he was blindsided by Red's eviction. He has also shown some emotional and vulnerable moments, notably during a jury house segment, where he watches a heartwarming home video of his daughter.
Only Mostly Dead: When he was evicted, he wasn't fully out of the game. He became a Big Brother Zombie along with Jared, who was also evicted. Cameron ended up winning the Battle Back competition and earned his place back in the game.
Platonic Life-Partners: With Bowie Jane. Cameron and Bowie were aligned up until the Final 9. They remain friends post season and have been hanging out with each other.
Quirky Curls: His most noticable physical characteristic is that luxurious mop of curls that he doesn't care to tame.
Rasputinian Death: As Rasputinian as he can be in this game - he has to be evicted twice to actually stay out.
Real Men Cook: Cameron seems to like cooking. A jury segment shows him making food for himself and Cory while they are in the jury house.
The Rival: He had a bit of a rivalry with Cory, but much of it is personal. Cameron was infatuated with America, but America was more interested in Cory than in him. Due to this, Cameron felt tempted to put Cory on the block, but realized it would anger America and cause them to turn against him.
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: After being blindsided by Red's eviction in Week 5, Cameron wins HOH immediately following Red's eviction and sets his sights on getting revenge against the Terrible Trio, Cirie, Izzy and Felicia. He plays psychological warfare on the entire house by lying to everyone about his nomination plans. He blindsides everyone by putting Izzy and Felicia on the block with Cirie as a renomination option if the Veto is used. Cameron states after the pie nomination ceremony that he wanted to take the trio down with Cirie being The President, Felicia being the Vice President and Izzy being the Secretary of Defence. He succeeds in his goals when Izzy is evicted at the end of the week. It was Cameron's HOH reign that set off the chain of events that caused Cirie to lose control in the game. After Izzy is sent home, Jared and Mecole, Cirie's other allies, are sent home right after her.
Sensitive Guy Manly Man: Cameron is the Manly Man to Cory's Sensitive Guy. While Cory is more intuitive, introspective and emotional in personality, Cameron is more rugged, edgy and aggressive though he does have his emotionally sensitive moments as well.
Shell-Shocked Veteran: Cameron is a military veteran and he served in Afghanistan.
The Snark Knight: Cameron is extremely stoic and sarcastic. Everything that comes out of his mouth is dripping with snark and sarcasm. He has a very harsh, biting sense of humor which may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Southern-Fried Genius: Downplayed. Cameron is known to be exceptional at competitions, but he's actually pretty strong when it comes to strategy. The only area of weakness for Cameron was his social game. If he had a strong social game that matched his competitive and strategic game, he would be a formidable and dangerous player.
Southern Gentleman: Subverted. In the game, he has more of an Anti-Villain persona. However, outside of the game, he's much more humble, low-key and relaxed.
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Cameron received a lot of screen time during the live shows, especially in the first half of the game. Cameron won many competitions and was one of the most entertaining players of the season. He's the houseguest who made the most waves and made big moves, so it's expected that he would get alot of attention. It's no wonder why he received so much attention on the live shows. Cirie, Matt, and Jag were the other houseguests who received a lot of attention throughout the season.
Stalker with a Crush: He showed shades of this with America, especially on the live feeds. Cameron was very infatuated with America and would sometimes follow her around the house so he could be around her.
The Stoic: He's normally very good at keeping his emotions in check while playing the game. He's very calm, cool and collected and he doesn't get too rattled easily. It's hard to understand what's he's thinking because of how stoic he comes across. Outside of the game, he shows much more emotion and is more relaxed in his demeanor.
Stoic Spectacles: When he's not wearing his dark Cool Shades, Cameron would sometimes wear clear round shaped glasses.
Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Sometimes Cameron can be very blunt, edgy, stoic and standoffish. Other times, he can be quite polite, nice, friendly and approachable. Cameron has two sides to his personality and it's why he's so unpredictable and labelled a Wild Card.
Tattooed Crook: Cameron has some tattoos on his arms, his chest and abdomen/torso.
Team Dad: Cameron is a father to a daughter namedStevie Rae. The other father of the season is Red.
The Friend No One Likes: Once Red is gone, it's evident nobody in the house respects Cameron. In Week 7, when Cameron for the first time in three weeks is vulnerable, the other remaining house guests dance in private to celebrate the possibility they can backdoor him.
Those Two Guys: With Red. They were very close friends and allies, being the resident Southern boys and hillbillies. They were in an alliance called "The Chillers".
Tranquil Fury: When Cameron gets angry, he is very controlled in his anger. Cameron's anger is like a bumbling volcano that will eventually explode with time and that is what makes him intimidating.
Tsundere: His interactions with America can teeter between being friendly and hostile. Cameron was attracted to America, and they would sometimes flirt with each other. His interactions with America were inconsistent.
Underdogs Never Lose: Cameron was undoubtedly the underdog of the season. His underdog status managed to award him the America's Favorite Houseguest prize at the end of the season.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Cameron's interactions with America were inconsistent. Sometimes, they would act very friendly and flirtatious with each other. Other times, they would bicker and fight constantly, getting on each other's nerves.
Wild Card: Cameron wasn't known as this season's "Agent Of Chaos" for nothing.
Wild Hair: Cameron has a large mop of curly hair. His hair is very similar to Frank Eudy from Big Brother 14 and Tyler Crispen from Big Brother 20.
Worthy Opponent: Everyone wanted Cameron out of the house because he was not only a very strong personality but he was also one of strongest competitors in the house. Many of them knew that if they didn't take him out, he could comp beast his way to the end.

HOH Evicted Under: CORY

And There Was Much Rejoicing: The fans were absolutely elated when Cameron won the Battle Back and reentered the game, while Jared ended up being permanently evicted. He was one of the least popular houseguests of the season, and they were finally glad that they wouldn't have to put up with his behavior and antics anymore.
Alpha Bastard: Jared held the mentality that he was the king of the house and was running everything. He was very cocky and egotistical and liked lording his power and influence over others.
Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Jared believed that he was the one controlling the game. He was very arrogant, cocky and full of himself. He was brought down to reality when Cory won HOH and had Jared evicted.
Asshole Victim: Cory won the HOH competition during the Double Eviction and was responsible for evicting Jared. Jared then became a Big Brother Zombie but wasn't completely out of the game. He was permanently evicted after Cameron defeated him in the Battle Back competition. The fans were very happy to finally see Jared gone for good, and many of the other houseguests were also relieved to no longer have to put up with him. The only ones who were sad about Jared's eviction were Cirie and Blue.
Big Bad: Jared was perceived as the major villain of the season. Cirie was The Woman Behind The Woman and the Greater-Scope Villain who was controlling Jared and every game decision that he made.
Big Bad Duumvirate: He's this with his mother Cirie in the first half of the season. They were the alliance who had the most control over everything that was going on in the game. Cameron winning HOH in Week 6 put a dent in Jared and Cirie's control.
Boisterous Bruiser: Jared is very cocky and brash with a large personality.
Break the Haughty: His eviction took a real toll on him. He cried Manly Tears when Cameron won his spot back in the game. But this is mainly worrying about Cirie alone in the house without him and Izzy to help her.
Brutal Honesty: Jared says exactly what's on his mind, even if it's not pleasant. His mouth is what made him a target.
The Bully: Jared has displayed very mean-spirited and aggressive behavior towards the other houseguests. He has used insensitive and problematic language towards the other houseguests. During an angry exchange with Cory, Jared used a derogatory term to refer to America (the R-word), which is a well-known ableist slur. He later apologized for using the slur, but fans were so enraged that they wanted Jared to be expelled for his use of it. He also exhibits misogynistic and condescending behavior towards certain female houseguests, including America, Bowie Jane, and Blue. He practically admitted to using Blue for game-related purposes, and he refers to the women in the house as "guys" or "bro." He (along with Cirie and Felicia) has consistently badmouthed Bowie Jane behind her back and mocked her appearance.
The Champion: For his mother Cirie. He does everything that she tells him to do and all of his game decisions are to benefit him and her in the game.
Dating What Mommy Hates: Gender Inverted and played with. While Cirie is not completely opposed to Blue and Jared's relationship, she fears it will put their games in jeopardy, and would prefer he wasn't in a showmance.
Disc-One Final Boss: The entire house sans Cirie and Blue ends up going after him. His eviction more or less ended his alliance's control.
Drunk with Power: Every single time Jared stumbled into a position of power, it would get to his head. He would lord his power over the other houseguests which turned many people outside of his allies off.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Jared was one of the main "villains" of the season, but he does have a very close relationship with his mother Cirie, and during his interview with Julie, he starts tearing up as he realizes his mother is now alone in the house with both him and Izzy gone.
Evil Is Petty: Jared made many personal and petty comments about others behind their back. He has made fun of many of the female houseguests and their physical appearance and has made some ableist comments.
Graceful Loser: Considering that he has just lost the Battle Back competition to Cameron and was permanently evicted, he took his eviction rather well. He was more concerned about how well Cirie would do with both himself and Izzy out of the house.
Hate Sink: While he was in the house, Jared was one of the most reviled and hated houseguests among the audience. He consistently ranked very low or at the bottom of all the polls, specifically the Jokers Updates Houseguest Rankings poll.
Jerk Jock: Jared is one of the most athletic and physical male competitors of the season. His behavior while in the house was less than pleasant.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Heavy emphasis on the "jerk" part, as he was quite unpleasant, cocky, and rude towards most of the other houseguests. But it's clear Jared and Cirie truly love each other enough to share literally every bit of information and Jared's abrasive behaviour is solely to protect his mother.
Karmic Eviction: It was his decision to cover his mouth talking to Matt that led to Matt not saving him. And of course, his own target, Cameron is the one to seal him for good.
The Mole: Jared would gain information from other houseguests, normally those not in his alliance, then rat out the information and the houseguest to Cirie and his other alliance members.
Momma's Boy: Jared has a very close relationship with his mother, Cirie. While he was watching Cirie's goodbye message after he was evicted, he shed some serious Manly Tears.
One Degree of Separation: He's Cirie's son. The other houseguests were unaware that Jared was Cirie's son. The only houseguests who knew about Jared and Cirie's familial relationship were the pre-jury evicted houseguests. Blue found out that Jared was Cirie's son before she was evicted.
Only Mostly Dead: After being evicted on Day 51. He became a Big Brother Zombie. He was permanently evicted after Cameron beat him in the Battle Back competition.
Politically Incorrect Villain: Ableism to be exact. During a conversation in the night, Jared is talking game with his mom, and, despite Matt being somewhat part of their alliance, decides to cover his mouth, so Matt can't hear him or Cirie. Matt was obviously hurt by this and this led to him not using the Veto during Cory's Double eviction HOH. A lot of people online have (rightfully so) called out Jared especially since Matt was in an alliance with him and Cirie.
Real Men Wear Pink: Jared can be seen wearing pink clothing from time to time, such as in the above photo.
Ship Tease: With Blue in the first half of the season. They end up being in a showmance together. Their showmance is cut short after Jared is evicted in Week 8.
Smug Snake: He was very full of himself, cocky and arrogant. He thought that he was running the house with his mom. However, Izzy's eviction and then his eviction brought him down to reality that he wasn't in charge of anything.
Strong Family Resemblance: Jared strongly resembles his mother Cirie int he face. The fact that the majority of the houseguests couldn't tell that they were related is shocking.
Token Minority: Jared is the only Black male houseguest cast this season.
Villainous Mother-Son Duo: Cirie and Jared, who are mother and son, were the Big Bad Duumvirate for the earlier part of the game. They were the most dangerous duo in the house and were the ones controlling everything.
Will They or Won't They?: With Blue. He's considering a showmance with her but he doesn't want to ruin his game. Hisam is a Shipper on Deck.

HOH Evicted Under: CAMERON

Ambiguously Bi: Izzy admitted that she found Jared rather attractive under the snot machine and wanted to drench him. She has also mentioned that she thinks that Matt is an attractive young man.
And There Was Much Rejoicing: The fans were quite happy and pleased when Izzy was finally evicted from the house. She had been rubbing many fans the wrong way, and they couldn't wait to see the back of Izzy.
Anti-Villain: Izzy is a bit of a mean girl and she took part in the excessive trash talking about other people along with Felicia and Cirie.
Arch-Enemy: Cameron. He is her biggest enemy in the house and she strongly dislikes him. Her dislike of him intensified after he won HOH and put her on the block against her friend Felicia.
Ascended Fangirl: Izzy admits that she got into Big Brother because she was a huge fan of Survivor. Hence why she acted like such a Loony Fan towards Cirie and was so desperate to align with her in the game.
Beta Bitch: Izzy was this with Cirie for Felicia, who was the resident Alpha Bitch in the earlier part of the season. Izzy, Cirie and Felicia would engage in constant negative conversations about the other houseguests.
Big Applesauce: Izzy originally hails from New York City and she definitely has a larger than life personality.
Boyish Short Hair: She has the shortest hair out of all the female houseguests alongside Bowie Jane and Felicia, who doesn't have any hair at all.
Butch Lesbian: Izzy has short, boyish hair, rarely wears “feminine” clothes, and is Happily Married to her wife.
Deadpan Snarker: Izzy is super sarcastic and snarky in her commentary, especially during her Diary Room sessions. She's also very biting when she trash talks the other houseguests.
Disc-One Final Boss: Shares this role along with Jared and Cameron. For the first several weeks, Izzy and Jared absolutely ruled the house. Her nomination and eventual eviction made Cirie feel an Oh, Crap!.
Drama Queen: Izzy is very overly emotional, paranoid and dramatic. She makes a big deal out of the smallest things.
Happily Married: Izzy is married outside the house.
Humiliation Conga: Her final week in the house was this. First, she was made a Have-Not. Then, Cameron (one of her biggest enemies in the house) nominates her alongside her friend Felicia. She then proceeds to lose the veto, gets put through a torturous punishment, and ends up being evicted in a pig costume.
If It's You, It's Okay: While she is a lesbian, she does find houseguests like Matt and Jared quite attractive.
The Lad-ette: Izzy is a Butch Lesbian with Boyish Short Hair, always wears masculine clothing, curses like a sailor and has a very tomboyish personality.
Lady Looks Like a Dude: With her really short hair, masculine clothes, deep voice, and tomboyish personality, Izzy could easily be mistaken for a boy if not for her name.
Loony Fan: To Cirie to the point where she gets somewhat nervous if she is not a part of Cirie's game conversations and acts a sort of big sister to Jared Fields.
Only Known by Their Nickname: Her full first name is Isabel, but everyone in the house calls her Izzy.
The Paranoiac: Izzy is always paranoid about something or someone. She is always nervous that people are turning on her or that her allies are going to target her.
Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: Izzy is probably the only female houseguest who wouldn't be caught wearing any kind of dress, skirt or feminine clothing.
Secret-Keeper: Does not tell anyone that Jared and Cirie are related.
The Pig-Pen: Izzy doesn't appear to have the best hygiene. She doesn't shave her armpits.
Tank-Top Tomboy: Izzy is a Butch Lesbian and The Lad-ette and she wears many wife beaters or tank tops as part of her attire.
Tomboyish Voice: Izzy is a tomboy with a husky voice.

HOH Evicted Under: JARED

A Birthday, Not a Break: Red gets evicted 8-2 on his birthday week. What's worse is that the original target was supposed to be Jag, but it switched to him without his knowledge.
Bash Brothers: With Cameron. Cameron was Red's closest ally in the game and they had an alliance called "The Chillers". However, Cameron and Red had a falling out before Red was evicted due to miscommunication and Red believing a lie Jared told him about Cameron.
Beard of Barbarism: His unruly red beard makes him look uncultured.
Birds of a Feather: With Cameron. The reason why the two bonded was because they are both guys from the South. Red is from Tennessee and Cameron is from Georgia.
Buffy Speak: His language is very offbeat, especially during his Diary Room sessions.
Cloudcuckoolander: Red is definitely one Southern quirky oddball.
Colorful Theme Naming: His real name is Michael, but everyone calls him Red because of his bright red hair color.
Cool Shades: Red is often seen wearing sunglasses in the house.
Deep South: Red is originally from Tennessee. He's the epitome of a Southern boy.
Didn't See That Coming: Red was completely blindsided when he was evicted over Jag in Week 5. Jag was the original target unbeknownst to Cameron, Red and Bowie Jane, the house ended up voting out Red instead.
Fiery Redhead: Red has a very spunky, upbeat personality.
Good Ol' Boy: Red is the embodiment of a Southern Boy from the Deep South. He originally hails from Tennessee.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Cameron. They bonded through their shared Southern culture and both being the fathers of the season.
Large Ham: Red has a very outgoing, over the top and hammy personality, especially during his Diary Room sessions.
Manly Facial Hair: Red sports a very long, large red beard and it's the first thing that is noticed when looking at his face.
New-Age Retro Hippie: Red's attire gives off the impression that he is a hippie. He wears his hair long, wears a headband around his head and he loves to wear tie dye clothing. He can best be described as a Southern hippie.
Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is Michael, but he's only known by his nickname of "Red". His nickname is used to describe his bright red hair.
Platonic Life-Partners: Red was good friends with Bowie Jane.
Team Dad: He and Cameron are the fathers of the season.
Theme Naming: Along with Blue and America, one can sense that the casting director had a bit of a "Patriotic" theme.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Despite being the 5th person out of the house, we see and learn very little about Red and he spends a majority of his time in the house not playing strategically outside of a rocky alliance with Cameron.
Wild Hair: Red has really long, unkempt red hair and a very long, unruly red beard. To say he has the most noticeable hair of the houseguests is an understatement.

HOH Evicted Under: FELICIA

The Ace: Hisam was one of the strongest competitors in the first half of the season. He won three competitions (1 HOH and 2 POV's) in the first three weeks alone. If he managed to progress further in the game, there's no doubt that he would dominate competitions and potentially rival Cameron and Jag for the most competition wins in a season.
Affably Evil: Hisam's not a bad guy at heart, but he can be offhandedly rude- though he shows a great deal of courtesy to people he likes and apologizes to houseguests he's insulted after they retaliate, and feels genuinely hurt after he's successfully backdoored.
Annoying Laugh: Hisam is known to have a very distinct yet irritating laugh. His annoying laugh was made the butt of jokes in BB Comics.
Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Hisam can be very arrogant and full of himself. What made Hisam a huge target early on was his overconfidence and arrogance. He became Drunk with Power and felt that he was invincible.
Break the Haughty: Hisam's high and mighty attitude breaks once he is backdoored when Jag wins the POV to remove himself from the block and Felicia backdoors him.
The Cassandra: Prior to his eviction, he expressed desire to target Jag and Matt, fearing that they were good at comps and would be major threats. He couldn't have been any more right... as they made up the Final Two.
The Determinator: Hisam was extremely determined to get Reilly out of the house once he knew that she was targeting him.
Disc-One Final Boss: Hisam was presented as if he was going to be the main villain of the season, but it turns out there were much more dangerous players than him. He was evicted in week 3 before he could wreak anymore havoc.
Expy: Hisam is combination of Brandon "Frenchie" French from Season 23 and Michael Bruner from Season 24, being an affable older gentleman who has the misfortune of winning the second HOH as well as not one but two Power of Vetoes. This did not do him any favors as the guy ended up leaving right after his target (Reilly) left.
Grumpy Old Man: Not that old, but still seems to be extremely cranky and prone to aggression more than the other members of The Professors.
Heroic Build: Hisam is very muscular, physically athletic and is built like a tank. It's no wonder why he was viewed as a huge physical and competitive threat.
The Hyena: His laugh is quite obnoxious - it became the target of mockery in "BB comics"
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Hisam can be domineering, controlling, paranoid and aggressive but his heart is in the right place. He just played too hard, too fast.
Minnesota Nice: Downplayed. While playing the game, Hisam was an absolute menace who wreaked havoc and it seemed like he was shaping up to be one of the villains of the season. However, outside of the game, he's a pretty chill and nice guy. He played the game way too hard too fast.
Puppet King: What he actually is to The Professors, having just been forced into leadership and trying his damndest to strongarm his alliance into working with him.
Shipper on Deck: Hisam 100% supports Blue and Jared together.
The Smart Guy: Hisam is very book smart and he's a geriatric physician for a living.
Straight Gay: Seems to be a mid of this and Manly Gay due to his strength in comps, not unlike Michael having little stereotypical gay traits though he does have a Grumpy Old Man persona.
Tyrant Takes the Helm: How his HoH is seen, due to attempting to be the leader of The Professors alliance when really he's just a Puppet King.
With Friends Like These...: After dictating too much of his HOH reign, his alliance puts in a plan to backdoor him, and it leads to a unanimous eviction.

HOH Evicted Under: HISAM

Arch-Enemy: Hisam. Reilly made it clear to him that she didn't like him and that he was her number one target. She was unsuccessful in getting him out when she won HOH. Hisam won HOH the second week and was responsible for Reilly's eviction.
Badass Adorable: She's proven to be a competitor when she wins the first physical HOH competition in the first week.
The Bartender: Reilly is a bartender for a living.
Beware the Nice Ones: Reilly is sweet and friendly, but she's not to be underestimated. The reason why she became a target so early on is because she played the game guns blazing.
Brainless Beauty: Downplayed. She's an attractive young woman but when it comes to having strategic sense in the game, she fell short. She made herself a big target by admitting to Hisam that she is targeting him. This is what ended up getting her sent home under Hisam's HOH reign in the second week.
The Determinator: Reilly was extremely determined to get Hisam evicted. She directly told Hisam to his face that she was targeting him. She was unsuccessful in getting him out when he was HOH because he won the Power of Veto. Reilly admitting to Hisam that she was targeting him ended up backfiring on her, as Hisam won the following HOH and ended up getting evicted.
The Ditz: When first looking at her, one can make the perception that she is just another Dumb Blonde. However, she can be rather perceptive and intuitive. Unfortunately, she never got a chance to prove herself in the game since she made herself a target.
Dumb Blonde: Downplayed. She comes across as ditzy at times, but she's a lot savvier than she appears. Unfortunately, she never gets a chance to prove her worth in the game since she is evicted in the second week.
Everyone Loves Blondes: Everyone loved Reilly on a personal level. Matt was very attracted to her and Jag was best friends with her. It's too bad that she couldn't go farther in the game but she had such a target on her back so early.
Gender-Blender Name: Her first name Reilly is a unisex name and can be a given name for both men and women.
Genre Blindness: Does Reilly not realize telling a houseguest that you're targeting them (Hisam) isn't the smartest move in a social and strategic game like Big Brother? Her big mouth ended up costing her from getting farther.
Girl Next Door: Reilly is a friendly, sweet, good natured young woman from Nashville, Tennessee.
Irony: Gets targeted by Hisam since she's targeting him. The event that confirms this is Reilly admitting to Hisam that she is targeting him.
Ms. Fanservice: Reilly is one of the most physically appealing female houseguests of the season. She has attracted some of the male houseguests such as Cameron and Matt.
Nice Girl: Reilly is one of the friendlier houseguests, and trying not to make herself a target, but getting HOH forces her to draw battle lines.
One of the Boys: Reilly may be a Girly Girl, but she seemed to feel more comfortable bonding with the men. Her main allies in the game were Cameron, Matt, Jag, and Cory. Her closest ally was Jag and she formed a Final 2 alliance with him. As HOH, she chose to remove Jared and Cory from the block and left the two female nominees, Kirsten and Felicia, on the block.
Platonic Life-Partners: With Jag. Jag was her closest male friend in the house and Jag was very upset when she was evicted.
Plucky Girl: Reilly has a very positive, optimistic and upbeat outlook and personality.
Ship Tease: She had shades of this with Matt. Matt confessed to her that he had a crush on her, and it seemed like they were going to be in a showmance. However, she was evicted in the second week before any relationship with Matt formed. When Matt wins HOH in Week 13, he receives a written letter from Reilly congratulating him on his victory and confessing her feelings for him. According to Matt's HOH photos, Reilly had met Matt's mom.
Southern Belle: Subverted. Though she currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee, she is originally from Portland, Maine.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Reilly didn't make too much of a big impression because she was evicted in the second week.

HOH Evicted Under: REILLY

Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Kirsten wore many tops which showed off her midriff or stomach.
Black and Nerdy: Downplayed. She's a very beautiful woman and more of a fashionista, but she's a molecular biologist for a living.
Black Girl Dies First: Kirsten is one of the black houseguests cast this season and she is the first official houseguest to be evicted as Luke was expelled.
Brainy Brunette: Kirsten has very dark hair and she's a molecular biologist for a living.
Butt-Monkey: Nothing ever seemed to go right for Kirsten throughout her time in the house. She lost the nomination challenge, was targeted for playing too hard, and got evicted first in a unanimous 13-0 vote.
The Fashionista: Kirsten is very stylish and loves to wear nice outfits.
Form-Fitting Wardrobe: Many of Kirsten's clothing and outfits were very tight and form fitting.
Graceful Loser: Kirsten took being evicted very well and she exited the house with class.
Intergenerational Friendship: She was close friends and allies with Cirie and Felicia, both of whom are old enough to be her mother.
Ms. Fanservice: Kirsten is one of the most physically attractive female houseguests of the season and a lot of her clothing and attire shows off her physique.
Nerds Are Sexy: She's a very attractive woman and she has a career in molecular biology.
Nice Girl: Kirsten was a nice houseguest but she played the game too hard and it caused her eviction.
Only in Florida: Kirsten is originally from Orlando, Florida but she's currently residing in Dallas, Texas.
Straw Feminist: Kirsten wanted to form an all-girls alliance in order to dominate the season and make it to the end. Too bad that she got caught, and it backfired badly when Cirie threw Kirsten under the bus by exposing Kirsten's plans for an all-female alliance to Reilly, the HOH at the time.
Sassy Black Woman: She is an emotional person but she's very sassy, spunky and feisty and won't back down from a fight.
The Smart Girl: Kirsten is a highly intelligent and educated individual who works as a molecular biologist. She proved to be quite strategic and savvy in the game, but the issue is that she played excessively aggressively and hastily. This was the reason she was voted out so early.
Too Clever by Half: This is what ultimately sends her home, as she made the mistake of playing too hard too fast and making alliances she most likely didn't plan on staying loyal to. Once Cirie, Jared, Felicia and Reilly caught on, it was all downhill from there for Kirsten.
We Hardly Knew Ye: She was the first houseguest to be evicted of the season. Though she showed some promise in the game, her time in the house was cut too short to determine how far she would have made it if she hadn't played as hard as she did.

HOH Evicted Under: N/A (Expelled)

Eccentric Artist: Luke is comic book artist for a living and to say that he is quirky, weird and off beat would be an understatement.
History Repeats: Zig-Zagged Trope. The first houseguest once again was evicted before eviction night. Though this also happened in the previous season, Paloma quit due to mental issues. Unlike Paloma however, Luke's expulsion didn't cancel the eviction.
Irony: Due to his dishonorable elimination, the comic artist is the only houseguest this season to not get a "BB Comic".
Non-Gameplay Elimination: Expelled for making racist comments, in Luke's case, usage of the n-slur.
Open Mouth, Insert Foot: He mistakenly said the n-word in front a Jared, a Black male, which resulted in him getting expelled from the game.
Politically Incorrect Villain: Got expelled for saying the N-word and other slurs casually in a zero tolerance house. Additionally, though he said it to Cory, it happened in front of an African-American (Jared), and Luke tried to walk back the slip of the tongue as a mistake. He later posted a video explaining how he had been sleep-deprived and malnourished for a week, and the following day after the transgression, where he learned of the repercussions, he got called into a seven-hour confrontation with human resources.
Sincerity Mode: On Instagram, Luke gives a heartfelt apology for his mistake and admits that he took expulsion very hard, having gone from the fun of the game environment, to sobbing after being told he was expelled. He also realizes that he may not be able to maintain contact with his houseguest buddies in the real world because society's standards could dictate that the proper reaction is to hate him for saying such a filthy remark, and he may be "too radioactive" to approach without receiving harassment or backlash.
Unperson: After his expulsion, his portrait disappears from the memory wall and the cast page for Season 25, and the game carries on as though it was played with the standard roster of 16 houseguests. Furthermore, the opening credits in episodes after his expulsion no longer feature Luke.
