Big Brother Canada 12 Houseguest Tropes

Alliances

Hot Chocolate

Composed of the masterminds behind (so far) every eviction, Hot Chocolate aims to recreate The Cookout from Characters.Big Brother23s success in that they want to dominate the game and crown, this time the fourth black winner and potentially the first female black winner. Members are: Spicy Vee, Kayla, Avery, Lexus and Anthony.

• Amazon Brigade: Anthony is the sole guy in the entire alliance. And ironically calling most of the shots.
• A House Divided: They can never seem to agree on a consensus target, often times arguing and changing things at the last second.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: Spicy Vee and Dougie share this role in the alliance.
• Playing Both Sides: Plays the guys side and Spicy Vee's girls alliance.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The fact they made it as far as they did was nothing short of impressive, unfortunately Anthony is The Gadfly and likes to mess with the girls in his alliance whereas the others just follow Spicy's lead, this leads to Victoria wanting to go after one of Anthony's numbers, Anthony wanting to go for or one of her numbers and Chaos Ensues.
• With Friends Like These...: They could have gotten to the final 6 had Anthony not turned the alliance against each other realizing Kayla is not a number for him but for Spicy.

Big Sisters

An alliance made up entirely of the girls of the season hoping to crown another all female victor and have the first successful girls alliance in Big Brother Canada history.

Members: Spicy Vee, Kayla, Donna, Avery, Lexus, Janine, Bayleigh

Tropes applying to them.

• Amazon Brigade: All made up of mostly physical and mentally savvy women.
• A House Divided: Like Spicy's main alliance of Hot Chocolate these ladies can't see to agree on consensus targets up until Week 5.
• Epic Fail: They crashed and burned as soon as they integrated with the boys. And while they reformed its clear Vee has allegiances outside of the alliance and ultimately doesn't want to vote out a girl.
• Klingon Promotion: Spicy Vee was formerly The Heavy but became the true leader after they removed
• The Leader: Spicy Vee formerly Janine.
• Straw Feminist: Their goal is to be the first successful (in Big Brother Canada history anyway) girl's alliance by voting out the men systematically.

Houseguests

Anthony "Dougie" Douglas - Big Brother Canada 7

Anthony Douglas

Age: 36

Hometown: Richmond Hill, Ontario

Occupation: Energy Compliance Supervisor

The frontrunner of Big Brother Canada 7, and the second-in-command of the infamous Pretty Boys. After being accused of riding Dane's coattails during his last season, this season he is playing a far more cutthroat game.

• Affably Evil: While not exactly a bad guy, Doogie knows how to get his way and manipulate hid way to making most of the decisions and, up until Vivek's elimination, he controlled every vote.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: With Spicy Vee as the main antagonists of the season not unlike the Vets of BB 12 US.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Averted. Most people call him Dougie though there are quite a few that refer to him as Anthony.
• Real Men Love Jesus: Has a Christian cross around his neck.

Bayleigh Pelham

Bayleigh Pelham

Age: 34

Hometown: Halifax, Nova Scotia

Occupation: Bartender

• Action Girl: The most athletic woman of the season.
• Berserk Button: Tola bringing up that he won HOH before she did in front of everyone sets her off.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Downplayed. Bayleigh isn't someone with a bad temper but she's definitely someone who gets into confrontations and arguments more than anyone else this season.
• Hot-Blooded: An incredibly determined and firey houseguest.
• Large Ham: Bayleigh tends to act a bit unhinged during certain moments.
• Lovable Alpha Bitch: Despite her sassy, snarky, and firecracker personality, Bayleigh is still liked due to her sense of humor and smarts.

Lexus Jackson

Lexus Jackson

Age: 24

Hometown: Toronto, Ontario

Occupation: Dental Hygienist

• Deadpan Snarker: Has her moments.
• The Fashionista: Leuxs tends to dress more elegantly through most of the season.
• Heartbroken Badass: Matthew's eviction not only breaks her heart but it's the catalyst that pushes her against Kayla and Avery.
• Only Sane Woman: The only girl in Hot Chocolate to make more rational and levelheaded strategic decisions. Likely a reason why she defects with Anthony later after the Jury begins.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: After Matthew gets evicted, Lexus turns on Avery and Kayla during the Movie Night Massacre.
• The Stoic: One of the quieter houseguests of the season.

Todd Clements

Todd Clements

Age: 31

Hometown: Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador

Occupation: General Contractor

• Cloudcuckoolander: Todd's sense of humor and personality come off this way.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Most of viewers and cast tend to underestimate Todd due to his offbeat personality but then get surprised when he wins comps.
• The Dragon: Towards Bayleigh.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: Purposefully tries to make himself seem very dim around the house so people underestimate him.

Victoria "Spicy Vee" Woghiren - Big Brother Canada 9

Victoria "Spicy Vee Woghiren''

Age: 30

Hometown: Hamilton Ontario

Occupation: Social Worker

• Alpha Bitch: Loves to torment the players on the bottom, flaunt her beauty, and control the Big Brother equivalent of the Black Widow Brigade, but also with Canada's Cookout.
• Crass Canuck: Arrogant often prone to speaking her mind a little too much and regularly tries to control Anthony's decisions. Oh and she's from Hamilton Ontario.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: With Dougie.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: In a similar vein to Parvati shallow in Survivor, she was brought back as an unexpected returnee and quickly goes from everyone wanting her out to getting everyone on her side.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Shares a LOT in common minus the crying with Rachel Reilly also from a 12th season of Big Brother but she has the game savviness of Parvati Shallow.

The Jury

Tola Eam (Evicted HG #9, Juror #4)

Tola Eam

Age: 40

Hometown: Ottawa, Ontario

Occupation: Fiber Optic Technician

• Bash Brothers: With Anthony.
• The Dragon: Him and Lexus are this to Anthony.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: None of the women want much to do with him and Anthony views him more as a shield than a genuine ally.
• Innocently Insensitive: His playful jabs at Bayleigh during his nomination speech end up upsetting her way more than he ever intended.
• Nice Guy: Despite his house status, he's very kind and cordial to everyone.

Avery Martin (Evicted HG #8, Juror #3)

Avery Martin

Age: 26

Hometown: Selkirk, Manitoba

Occupation: Videographer

• Ascended Fangirl: Avery mentions in her pre-season press how Victoria is one of her favorite house guests. Guess who joined her in the game as a house guest and is an alliance with her?
• Dork Knight: A Big Brother Canada super fan that's also a pretty strong competitor and strategist.
• Karmic Elimination: After initially targeting him during both of her HOH reigns only to backdoor her close friends and allies, Tola ends up being the HOH to evict Avery.
• Undying Loyalty: To Spicy Vee and the Hot Chocolates alliance.

Kayla Clennon (Evicted HG #7, Juror #2)

Kayla Clennon

Age: 26

Hometown: Stouffville, Ontario

Occupation: Volleyball Coach

• Beware the Nice Ones: Despite being one of the nicest house guests, Kayla can be pretty ruthless with her strategies.
• The Determinator: Kayla's back was against the wall during the Movie Night Massacre event where she was able to narrowly win the veto to save herself.
• Dramatic Irony: She said she would live and die for Hot Chocolate, guess who ends up being the first member of Hot Chocolate to be given the axe?
• Expy: Has quite a bit in common with Hannah from Big Brother US 23, having an alliance of all black people, being gaslit and discredited by the other members, and ultimately ending her game for an alliance when she could have turned.
• Kick the Dog: A victim of it. Victoria and Avery backstab and put Kayla on the block in Week 6 and gaslight her during a house meeting. While this WAS Anthony's idea, (the lying about Kayla going after Spicy Vee and Avery) they took it too far.
• Lovable Jock: Was an all star volleyball player before she became a coach clearly wanting to empower other young women.
• Nice Girl: Kayla is a loyal ally to others and is one of the nicer house guests.

Elijah "Goose" Kazlauskas (Evicted HG #6, Juror #1)

Elijah Goose Kazlauskas

Age: 31

Hometown: North Bay, Ontario

Occupation: ESL Teacher

• Only Known by Their Nickname: He's rarely called "Elijah". Except by Arisa
• The Friend Nobody Likes: During Week 5 he is distrusted, disgraced and humiliated by Avery and Avery basically tells everyone else that HE is the Target.
• Butt-Monkey: This guy is basically the punching bag pawn star of 12 Canada, given he always is put up by every single HOH as a pawn and even when he does get a break in the following week he is put on the block again by Avery this time as the target.
• Irony: He was constantly the pawn almost every week, constantly disregarded by the other players, then he wins HOH and suddenly everyone wants to talk to him. Immediately after he is now the target with no allies.

Evicted

Matthew Wong (Evicted HG #5)

Matthew Wong

Age: 27

Hometown: Surrey, British Columbia

Occupation: Kinesiologist

• Graceful Loser: While obviously upset that he's being split from Lexus, he leaves the house with a smile and shows no hard feelings for his vote off.
• Nice Guy: Matthew was loved by the other house guests, but unfortunately everyone knew that made him a jury threat on top of his showmance with Lexus.
• Out of Focus: Until Week 5, Matthew barely had much screen time within the show due to his passive gameplay. After his eviction, he remains as one of the lowest confessional counts of the season.

Vivek Sabbarwal (Evicted HG #4)

Vivek Sabbarwal

Age: 25

Hometown: Saint John, New Brunswick

Occupation: Software Developer

• Break the Haughty: Week 4 was essentially a repeat of Kyle Moore's HOH karma where he gets the boot shortly after ceding his HOH.
• Butt-Monkey: He tried to be sneaky but folded when the house forced him to put up Dinis and proceeded to unanimously vote him out. The following week he got screwed by the Executive Power of Veto.
• Downer Ending: To his game overall. Despite it being him getting his comeuppance for backdooring Dinis in Week 3, the guy is still voted out unanimously through a public vote due to a twist that snipes him out of the game on a week where up until that point, he was completely safe and not being targeted by Goose. He then exits the house to no live audience.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Nobody trusted or liked Vivek outside of Anthony's group and the second he loses power, Goose promises his safety, but he gets screwed by a twist.
• History Repeats: Once again the Week 3 HOH ends up the fourth person evicted. Just like Kyle from BB Canada 10.

Dinis Freitas (Evicted HG #3)

Dinis Freitas

Age: 48

Hometown: Toronto, Ontario

Occupation: Textile Designer

Veto Wins: 2

• Broken Ace: Was one of the best veto players in the early game often getting first or second.
• Didn't See That Coming : Eliminated in a blindside against Goose when the girls decided his veto streak had to come to an end.
• Taking You with Me: His eviction caused the house to distrust Vivek who was, accidentally enough, the next one out.
• Sore Loser: Oh my goodness, he definitely is after going on a 5 minute tirade about how he won't even make jury.

Donna Marshall (Evicted HG #2)

Donna Marshall

Age: 26

Hometown: Hubbards, Nova Scotia

Occupation: Artist

• History Repeats: Just like 10, the Artist is taken out early.

Janine Holmes (Evicted HG #1)

Janine Holmes

Age: 44

Hometown: Toronto, Ontario

Occupation: Hair and Makeup Artist

• Decoy Antagonist: Implied to be the brains behind the Big Sister alliance but was the first out.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: The first one evicted from the game, but she stayed longer than most first boots, but with last season's removal of the live feeds we got to know her less.
