HOH Evicted Under: TYLER (in Week 1).

---

• Bash Brothers: With Scottie, his closest ally in the house. The two have an amusing, lively, and almost father-son relationship.
• Death Glare: What he looks like when he's getting a read on peoples' personalities. Swaggy C is heavily intimidated and calls it "death bullets".
• Deep Cover Agent: Steve is a former undercover cop, which is useful at helping him go undercover in the Big Brother house as a "mechanic" because he knows better than to draw attention to himself with his real job.
• Didn't See That Coming: Nobody, himself included, expected him to be the first person evicted,which was a result of Tyler convincing Kaitlyn to vote for Steve.
• Et Tu, Brute?: Knows for a fact somebody had to flip to get him evicted and learns it was Kaitlyn when he goes home.
• Sherlock Scan: He's able to correctly discern the location of the hidden bedroom in the house because he knows how to find a stash room.
• Starter Villain: In the first five episodes of the season, Steve proves to be a very formidable social player and a decent competitor, but is the first one to be evicted.
• Sunglasses at Night: He wears sunglasses to make it easier to observe people, which he demonstrates to Scottie.
• Unwitting Pawn: The only reason Steve went on the block was that reluctant HOH Tyler nominated the two players who did the worst in the first HOH competition, an easy choice but not a daring one like some players wanted. This forced Steve to up his effort to stay in the game and prove he was better than he appeared to be, but he was simply a victim of circumstance.

---

• A God Am I: Swaggy C thinks he's in control of the entire house when he has a weak alliance filled with flip flopping houseguests who are also emotionally unstable. Not to mention that he's such a huge target for Level 6 because of how over the top and obvious he's made it that he's the leader of one side of the house. Swaggy even refers to himself in third person.
• Alpha Bastard: Swaggy C was arrogant and thought that he was the king of the house. He would constantly lord it over the other houseguests too and would pump himself up during his Diary Room sessions.
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: He boasts that he is controlling the house and disses other players he thinks are stupid.
• Base-Breaking Character: A lot of people either enjoy Swaggy's cocky attitude and compare it to Devin's for making the season interesting early on, but just as many grow exhausted of it and happy he's evicted even sooner. He manages to show up at Bayleigh's house, showing a more positive side of him.
• Bonding over Missing Parents: Swaggy found common ground with Tyler because they both have a deceased father. Tyler's father died from heart complications during the beginning of his senior year of high school, and he told Tyler that he wasn't his biological father but that he was still his father because he was the one who raised him as his dad. This deathbed revelation emotionally crushed Tyler, and he still doesn't know his biological father and has yet to meet him. Swaggy's father was a drug addict who fell into a coma that he never came out of. He was pronounced dead afterwards. Since Swaggy knew about the commonality that he shared with Tyler, he used it to play on Tyler's emotions and garner sympathy from him. Unfortunately for Swaggy, using his deceased father and swearing on his grave in order to stay in the only managed to turn Tyler off even more since Tyler hates swearing on people, especially dead loved ones or family members.
• Break the Haughty: Swaggy C was excessively cocky and arrogant, believing that he was in complete control of the entire house. He was brought back down to reality when Kaitlin won the Head of Household (HOH) competition and strategically targeted him for eviction. After being backdoored, Swaggy C sat in the nomination chair in silence and appeared extremely blindsided. In his Diary Room session after being backdoored, he was speechless. Kaitlyn completely threw him for a loop by backdooring him, and he was so arrogant that he never saw it coming.
• Breakout Character: He's managed to become the first and so far only player to be evicted pre-jury and still reappear in the season before the finale night, because he's gone as far as to seek out the Dalton household to profess his love for Bayleigh before her mom Robin, her dad Michael, and her two sisters.
• The Champion: Chris's devotion to Bayleigh is so strong he visits Bayleigh's family before BB 20 is even close to being over.
• Disappeared Dad: Chris's dad had a usage problem after his mom left and was found in a coma that he never came out of, and would be pronounced dead not long afterward.
• Disc-One Final Boss: The first houseguest of the season to last long enough to develop a strong presence in the house and manipulate the game in the direction he wants it to go. However, Swaggy overdoes it and irritates Kaitlyn with his ego, upsetting her enough to get him evicted when she becomes HOH.
• Faux Affably Evil: Outright calls Kaitlyn an idiot and repeatedly insults several other players like Tyler and his consortium.
• Hypocrite: Julie grilled him with the footage of his preseason interview, which showed a Swaggy who knew what classic traps not to fall into when entering the house and play in the middle and not get a showmance... who then proceeded to let the game take over his reasoning and fall into every single trap and go home second.
• It's All About Me: Within the first competitions of the game, Swaggy C made a few strong moves all focused around giving himself elevated power and standing in the house, even breaking a promise to Angela and ignoring Bayleigh's advice to avoid being too showy so he doesn't become a target.
• Manipulative Bastard: Some shades of one, because he plays up the human side of himself, Chris, minus all the bluster, just to win a sympathy vote. It doesn't work.
• Missing Mom: His mom left when he was only three. His father also passed away as a child. Swaggy C was pretty much an orphan.
• The Narcissist: Swaggy C is very self absorbed and has a huge ego. In fact, he's so fuller of himself that he talks about himself in the third person. His narcissism and ego was his biggest downfall in the game.
• No Indoor Voice: His voice is very loud and over the top during all of his Diary Room sessions.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Swaggy C. His actual first name is Christopher. He invented his nickname about 5 years ago (2013-ish) and wears it on all of his custom tees.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Swaggy is in control, he makes everyone feel it, but once his back is to the wall, he drops all pretense of swagger and starts behaving low-key, even going as far as to swear on his dad's dead grave to make promises and clear things up, which is not something he would do if he was being facetious.
• Pride Before The Fall: Swaggy was arrogant and egotistical enough to think that he was the one controlling the game and running the house. However, he was completely unaware that there was a power alliance, known as Level Six, who was actually running the house. Furthermore, he had no idea that one of his allies, Kaitlyn, had betrayed him and was planning to nominate him for eviction. In Week 2, Swaggy was completely blindsided when Kaitlyn chose to backdoor him. He didn't see it coming, and he was completely shell-shocked. To be fair, Swaggy C had it coming since he needed to be taken down a few notches.
• Ship Tease: With Bayleigh since the beginning of the season. They develop a full-blown showmance in the first few weeks. Swaggy even coins the term "Swayleigh" as their portmanteau name. After the season ends, they become an Official Couple and get married.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Swaggy C thinks he is much smarter and more competent at the game than he actually is. He would constantly boost his own ego while belittling everyone else. His ego was his biggest downfall.
• Smug Snake: Dude wants everyone to know he's in charge of the house and you can't change that no matter what you do.
• Third-Person Person: Likes to refer himself in the third person often.
• Thousand-Yard Stare: All the vigor drained out of his face when he saw himself go up on the eviction block as a surprise backdoor nominee.
• Villainous Breakdown: There is a massive difference in his attitude after being backdoored compared to before the move happens. He goes from being utterly full of swagger to completely still and transfixed with shock.
• "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Week 5's live eviction night features a clip of Swaggy C's visit to 6 family with a bouquet of roses and a firm declaration of love toward her.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Can't swim and sees water as his kryptonite. He freaks out when one challenge involves surfing.
• Worth It: When given the chance to date Bayleigh at the expense of going the distance in the house, Swaggy proudly admitted he loved her more.

HOH Evicted Under: SCOTTIE (in Week 3).

---

• A Lighter Shade of Black: He isn't nearly as insufferable as Brett can be, but Winston has a few moments where he gets menacing, giving Scottie the what-for after returning him to the eviction block.
• Bash Brothers: Has a solid "bromance" with Brett that they remark is the makings of an instant friendship outside of the house.
• Big Brother Instinct: He's protective of Brett and always looks out for him. He sees him as a younger brother figure. When Winston found out that Brett wasn't feeling that well, Winston instantly came to check on him to see if he was okay.
• Birds of a Feather: With Brett, of course. There's a reason why they bonded so fast. They share a lot of things in common, such as their political affiliation and their love for working out.
• Boisterous Bruiser: Winston has an extroverted, passionate and larger than life personality and he is very Hot-Blooded. He's very similar to Brett in this regard.
• Brainless Beauty: Winston is attractive but he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Some of his game strategies are based on paranoia.
• Brutal Honesty: Winston is known for speaking his mind without fear of the consequences. When Scottie nominated him and Brett in Week 3, he had no problem storming into Scottie's HOH room and threatening him. He made it clear that if he won the POV and remained in the house, he would be targeting Scottie without hesitation. Scottie felt intimidated by Winston and his threats.
• The Brute: Winston has a strong and muscular physique. He has an intimidating and domineering personality that matches his imposing physique. Despite his athletic physique, he lacks skill in competitions and is not the strongest physical competitor.
• Butt-Monkey: Winston escapes eviction while still on the block, only for the guy who was previously on the block with him as a pawn and got off to win HOH and immediately put him up again.
• Carpet of Virility: Winston has a noticeably hairy chest which is seen whenever he goes shirtless. One might assume that Winston, being so concerned about his physical appearance, would either shave or wax his chest. Winston's chest hair adds to his masculine and rugged persona.
• Control Freak: He doesn't like when other people tell him what to do and hates following orders. However, it appears that the only people that Winston will listen to are Tyler and Brett, as they have the most calming influence on him.
• The Dandy: Winston is very metrosexual and takes pride in taking care of his physical appearance.
• Deep South: Winston is originally from Bowling Green, Kentucky. He's the embodiment of a Southern gentleman.
• The Ditz: Winston is very attractive, but he is not he sharpest tool in the shed. The one smart thing he did in the game was helping to form and create the Level Six alliance.
• Dumb Jock: Winston is a stereotypical athletic jock who takes pleasure in pumping iron with his fellow bro, Brett. But he appears to lack intelligence and strategic thinking when it comes to the game. While he may be intelligent in real life due to his career in heathcare, it does not necessarily translate to success in the game. Winston comes across as a boneheaded meathead jock.
• Dumb Muscle: Winston is physically strong and muscular, but lacks common sense when it comes to the game. He makes decisions based on emotion rather than logical or strategic thinking.
• Emotional Bruiser: Winston is boisterous, passionate, hot-headed and impulsive, but he does have avery sensitive and emotional side. He admits to being a romantic at heart and he has a strong one and affection for his dog.
• Gun Nut: As per his intro package, is a "strong believer in the second amendment." He is even shown kissing a gun.
• Homoerotic Subtext: With Brett. They form a bromance that dominates in the house.
• Hot-Blooded: Winston is extremely passionate, impulsive, and emotional. His emotions sometimes gets the best of him and he easily becomes paranoid and riled up. It takes some of his alliance members such as Tyler and Brett to keep Winston from completely exploding into an outburst of emotions.
• Hunk: Winston is the embodiment of this trope, being a very handsome and masculine man. Many of the women in the house have commented how attractive Winston is in the first episode of the season.
• I Coulda Been a Contender!: Winston appeared to have the potential to go far in the season as a houseguest. In Week 1, he orchestrated the creation of the season's strongest alliance, Level Six. Unfortunately, he was evicted before he had a chance to prove himself in the game. It is apparent that his passionate nature and impulsive temper would have gotten him evicted eventually even if he made it to the jury phase.
• Hunk: Winston is physically appealing Mr. Fanservice.
• Jerk Jock: Winston can be full of himself at times. He's not as smug as Swaggy C, but his intensity does manage to rub people the wrong way. He likes to be in charge and gets very thorny when he's a target.
• Mr. Fanservice: Winston is a very handsome and attractive man. In the season's first episode, several female houseguests, including Kaitlyn, Rachel, and Angela, make comments about Winston's physical attractiveness. Winston's frequent shirtless appearances have made him popular among female fans due to his muscular and well-built physique.
• Sore Loser: After Winston was evicted in Week 3 by a 7-6 vote, he got up, grabbed his bags and didn't hug anyone on the way out the door. He also threw Sam's friendship bracelet on the floor before leaving, indicating that he was extremely upset and embittered by being voted out and blindsided by her and her allies. However, he got over it after he had some time to process his eviction.
• The Paranoiac: Winston was constantly paranoid about everything in the house. He would lose his cool about game related things and would come up with numerous conspiracy theories about the other houseguests that would set off his paranoia alarm. He would especially get paranoid and high strung whenever he felt like he could potentially go on the block.
• The Load: Downplayed. He's reluctantly evicted by Level Six after Scottie secures his nominations, not because of anything he's done, but simply because he's unable to win competitions like Brett can.
• Those Two Guys: With Brett, they are the people everyone loves to hate. They even have their own Leitmotif: "Bromance!"

• Abhorrent Admirer: Despite being in a relationship, Kaitlyn felt a very strong attraction towards Tyler. She was constantly clinging to him and cuddling with him in bed. However, Tyler was visibly uncomfortable with Kaitlyn's advances because he knew she has a boyfriend. He would drop hints that he was not interested, but Kaitlyn ignored them. During a Diary Room session, Tyler openly admitted that he was uncomfortable with Kaitlyn being in the house because she was so bad for his game. However, he was afraid of the consequences of trying to get her out of the house, as he believed she would retaliate and become a Woman Scorned. In the same token, Kaitlyn admitted in her Diary Room session that she was iteray obsessed with Tyler and woud do anything for him. She was infatuated with Tyler because of his physical attractiveness and his respectful nature towards her and her desires. Other houseguests questioned the nature of Tyler and Kaitlyn's relationship, making Tyler a potential target as well. JC thought Tyler was involved with Kaitlyn and told Tyler he needed to stop his flirtatious relationship with Kaitlyn and get his head back in the game. Tyler then admits he has no interest in Kaitlyn he wanted to keep her in the house so he could manipulate her. Houseguests such as Rockstar, Haleigh and Bayleigh all felt that Kaitlyn was using and manipulating Tyler do what she wanted. They also thought that Tyler was in love with Kaitlyn. What they failed to realize was that Tyler was the one who was manipulating her to do what he wanted and that he had zero romantic feelings for her. Tyler expressed his discomfort with Kaitlyn's advances and acknowledged that she was detrimental to his game. However, he still valued her as a friend outside of the game.
• All Love Is Unrequited: Kaitlyn had feelings for both Fessy and Tyler, but they did not reciprocate her feelings. Fessy showed more romantic interest in Haleigh, which made Kaitlyn unhappy. When Kaitlyn discovered that Fessy and Haleigh were growing closer, she reacted poorly and decided to betray her alliance. She also had an unrequited crush on Tyler. Tyler confessed to JC that he only saw her as a friend and had no romantic interest in her. However, he admitted that he wanted to manipulate her for strategic purposes in the game. Tyler initially expressed romantic attraction to Haleigh and later developed feelings for Angela.
• Apologetic Attacker: She becomes emotional when she replaces Scottie with Swaggy C, who was her intended target. It is noteworthy that she didn't appear to be too upset about it before she nominated him. She was fully on board with the plan to backdoor Swaggy and was even enthusiastic about it with Tyler. It is unclear whether Kaitlyn was genuinely remorseful for nominating Swaggy, as she did not shed any tears during the Veto ceremony. Some fans accused Kaitlyn of shedding crocodile tears.
• Asshole Victim: Kaitlyn was her own worst enemy. If Kaitlyn didn't make so many stupid decisions in the game, she could have made it much farther than she did. She et her emotions get in the way of playing the game and she played too personal. She was rejected by both Fessy and Tyler, who had no romantic interest in her. She was nominated by Sam and was served a scathing speech about how inappropriate she is with the male houseguests. When Haleigh and she are on the block, Fessy chooses to use the Veto to save Haleigh instead of her, which ultimately leaves her feeling betrayed and unwanted by Fessy. Fessy not only has romantic feelings for Haleigh, but he also openly admits that he doesn't trust her because she betrayed their alliance. Fessy rejects and distrusts her, and she discovers that Tyler was not romantically interested in her; he was only using her for game-related purposes. Her real-life boyfriend, Joe, breaks up with her over social media (Twitter) after witnessing her inappropriate behavior with the men in the house and accusing her of infidelity. After being evicted, she is given the opportunity to reenter the game thanks to the Bonus Life App. During the live show, she panics and fails to complete the puzzle challenge in time, resulting in her permanent eviction from the game. To summarize, Fessy and Tyler have no romantic interest in her, Sam calls her a slut in front of the house while nominating her, Fessy chooses to save Haleigh over her by using the Veto to take Haleigh off the block, she is disliked and distrusted by everyone in the house, her boyfriend breaks up with her on social media, she fails to succeed in the Bonus Life Challenge, and as a result, she is permanently evicted from the game. Kaitlyn's downfall was inevitable due to her poor gameplay and betrayal of her alliance. One could argue that all the negative events she experienced were a result of karma catching up with her.
• Attention Whore: Kaitlyn enjoys being the center of attention. She is the life of the party and has an extroverted personality. Much of the stuff she does is so outlandish and bizarre yet she lacks the self-awareness to understand how other people are perceiving her.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: The main reason why Kaitlyn got so attached to Fessy and Tyler is because they were both affectionate and supportive of her when she needed it most. She grows attached to Fessy because he treats her well and is very kind and friendly towards her. She repaid Fessy by swearing her loyalty to him. With Tyler, she became obsessed with him because he provided her with emotional comfort and support when she was very upset about Fessy and his relationship with Haleigh. Tyler's friendly and calming presence persuaded Kaitlyn to pledge her loyalty to him. In the process, Kaitly deveoped more than friendship feelings for Tyler. As a result of her feelings for Tyler, Kaitlyn betrayed her alliance and sided with Tyler's side of the house.
• Berserk Button: Seeing Faysal flirting with Haleigh is bound to set off her Clingy Jealous Girl alarm bells and cause her to freak out majorly. This is despite Faysal making it obvious to her that he only views her as a friend. Because of her irrational and emotional behaviour over Faysal, she comes across as too emotionally attached and unstable.
• Big Bad Wannabe: Kaitlyn's potential as a strong player in the house was hindered by her significant emotional baggage and questionable behavior on the live feeds, which made her an easy target. She lacked the ability to conceal her actions like Tyler, which made her the subject of almost every conversation. People naturally wanted to gossip about the naughty things she did.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Kaitlyn portrays herself as a genuine Nice Girl, but in reality, she is jealous, gossipy, impulsive, needy, mean-spirited, and overdramatic. She takes pleasure in manipulating men to gain their attention and manipulate them into doing her bidding. She weaponizes her emotions to receive the affirmation and attention she craves from men. Additionally, she engaged in infidelity while in the house, as she had a serious boyfriend while behaving inappropriately with Fessy, Tyler, and Brett. Sam confronts Kaitlyn about her inappropriate behavior with the male houseguests. Needless to say, nobody, including the fans and the houseguests alike, felt that bad for Kaitlyn once she was evicted.
• Break the Cutie: She is so badly broken by week 4 she cannot bring herself to win a challenge to get herself back into the house and gives up in full panic mode as time runs out.
• Broken Tears: Kaitlyn cries inconsolably all day after backdooring Swaggy. Though it's uncertain if she feels legitimate remorse for what she did to Swaggy or if she's just upset that she has been outed as a traitor to her former alliance.
• Brutal Honesty: Kaitlyn is outspoken and never hesitates to express her thoughts, even if they are not kosher. Her outspoken nature and strong opinions have frequently caused her trouble. It's one of the reasons why she performed poorly in the game; she was unable to control her thoughts and opinions.
• Butt-Monkey: Kaitlyn had a tough time in the game. She felt unloved by Fessy and Tyler because they had no romantic interest in her. Fessy chose Haleigh over her. She betrayed her alliance without any justification, making herself a target. Sam humiliates her by essentially calling her a hussy when she nominates her next to Haleigh. Fessy decides to use the Veto to save Haleigh instead of her, effectively guaranteeing her eviction. Tyler betrays her and treats her as expendable by voting her out. She is distrusted and disliked by everyone in the house because of her unpredictable and inappropriate behavior. She is evicted by a near unanimous vote because of how much everyone was desperate to get rid of her. She panics and loses the Bonus Life Challenge on the live show, resulting in her permanent eviction. Her boyfriend also breaks up with her on Twitter because of her infidelity. Kaitlyn faced many challenges, but she was partly responsible for what happened to her. It is difficult not to feel sympathy for her.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: Kaitlyn was envious of any girl who showed interest in Faysal and Tyler. Kaitlyn flirted with Faysal, but he only saw her as a friend. However, he viewed Haleigh as a romantic interest. In Week 1, her jealousy over Faysal and Haleigh being in bed together triggered her to turn against her alliance and switch sides. Tyler manipulated Kaitlyn by exploiting her jealousy to get her to vote with his side of the house. Kaitlyn displayed clear signs of jealousy whenever another girl showed interest in Tyler. Whenever Haleigh flirted with Tyler, Kaitlyn would give her a disapproving look. Post eviction, Kaitlyn was bitter with jeaous during interviews regarding Tyler's budding showmance with Angela. It was clear that she was jealous of Tyler being with Angela and she wished that it was her instead of Angela.
• Combat Clairvoyance: An ultra-rare real life example. Kaitlyn displayed a strange awareness of Brett and Winston's plot to backdoor her by working over Scottie, and almost immediately after Scottie confirmed this was true, she freaked out at the fact her vision was true and went out of the HOH room to grill Brett.
• The Corruptible: She's this for Tyler. Tyler is the one who manipulated her into betraying her FOUTTE alliance and siding with his side of the house. Through the use of emotional manipulation and feigning romantic interest, Tyler convinced Kaitlyn to vote out Steve over Sam and backdoor Swaggy C.
• Desperately Craves Affection: Kaitlyn appears to be lacking love, attention, and affection. She is willing to do whatever it takes to obtain it. Kaitlyn's constant need for love, affection, and affirmation made her perform poorly in the game. Tyler recognized Kaitlyn's vulnerability of needing affirmation and affection and he exploited it to manipulate her into doing what he wanted. Tyler would intentionally show affection and provide comfort to Kaitlyn, aware of her enjoyment of the attention it brought. Kaitlyn also exhibited this behavior with other male houseguests besides Tyler, such as Fessy and Brett. Fessy was her second target as someone she would seen affirmation from, after Tyler. She not only sought physical affection from Fessy, but also craved his validation. She constantly sought reassurance from Fessy, wanting to hear how much he cared for her and how far he would go to protect her in the game. None of her behavior with the male houseguests made sense, considering she was supposed to be in a long-term relationship back home. It raises the question of why Kaitlyn, despite being in a relationship, constantly sought validation, comfort, and attention from the men in the house.
• Drama Queen: Kaitlyn is the most dramatic person in the house. Every small trigger causes her to react emotionally. She made a big fuss about Fessy and Haleigh's relationship. Her dramatic reaction to their relationship caused her to betray Fessy and her alliance, ultimately voting with the opposing side of the house. When Fessy chose to save Haleigh instead of her when they were both on the chopping block, she overreacted and felt deeply betrayed. She cried uncontrollably and expressed to Fessy that he was no different from all the other men who had let her down in her life. Fessy couldn't help but roll his eyes and scoff because he knew that Kaitlyn had proven to be disloyal and untrustworthy.
• Dramatic Irony: Kaitlyn had the guts to make a big move early on in the game but none of the backbone necessary to take the betrayals herself.
• Emotional Bruiser: She was doing well until she saw Haleigh and Faysal beginning to develop a showmance, which sent Kaitlyn into a downward spiral of agonized feelings and caused her to lose faith in her alliance, flipping over to Tyler.
• Friend-or-Idol Decision: Backdooring Swaggy C meant keeping secrets from over half the house and especially Faysal, her best friend in the house. After revealing her move to the houseguests, she completely upset the whole group.
• Giver of Lame Names: Kaitlyn devised the acronym "FOUTTE" ("Five Of Us To The End") for her alliance in the house. The show's announcer, Clayton Halsey, sardonically chimed in during the recap segment aired on the first eviction night, "Yes, you heard right - they're calling themselves FOUTTE".
• It's Personal: Her breakdown after Faysal chose his showmance over her was inevitable, and it made Kaitlyn swear to play dirty to stay in the house and gun for Faysal.
• Large Ham: Kaitlyn is a larger than life, over the top, extravagant and dramatic personality and she loves to make a big deal out of the littlest things. Since she's a Drama Queen and an Attention Whore, Kaitlyn thriving on being the centre of attention and using he larger than life personality to achieve it is expected.
• Love Forgives All but Lust: Kaitlyn has a boyfriend named Joe back home and she has made that very clear. But she has crossed the line with multiple men in the house including Fessy, Brett and Tyler. On Day 23, Joe, Kaitlyn's boyfriend, chose to break up with Kaitlyn and his family announced the breakup on Twitter.
• Love Hungry: Despite being in a serious long term relationship with her boyfriend back home, Kaitlyn was still so hungry and desperate for the guys attention in the house. She has acted very intimate with Fessy on numerous occasions such as touching and cuddling with him and telling him that she wanted to sleep with him. She also flirts with Brett and cuddles with him. And finally, she's very emotionally involved with Tyler and has become a stalker for him. She follows him around the house and is constantly laying on top of him. Although Tyler clearly shows hesitance around Kaitlyn and shows signs that he's very uncomfortable with Kaitlyn's advances, Kaitlyn is very persistent in her pursuing of Tyler. There was an instance where she wrote a code on Tyler's arm that she wanted to kiss him. Kaitlyn's constant advances and passes at Tyler made him very uncomfortable.
• Love Makes You Crazy: Kaitlyn displayed irrational, obsessive, and erratic behavior in her relationship with Tyler. Kaitlyn betrayed her alliance and turned against her side of the house because she was infatuated with Tyler. In one of her Diary Room sessions, she confessed to being infatuated with Tyler and willing to do anything for him. She felt this way about him because he consistently treated her with kindness and respect. She believes that Tyler stands out from the other men she knows and considers him to be special. She backdoored her own alliance member, Swaggy C, by backdooring him when she was the Head of Household (HOH)! Her primary motivation for doing this was Tyler's manipulation, convincing her that it was a beneficial move for her game. She was unaware that it was a detrimental move for her game. She was so blindly infatuated with Tyler that she couldn't see how he was manipulating and using her.
• Karma Houdini Warranty: Betrays her side of the house and then immediately afterward scoops up the second HOH of the season. She then uses her head of household to attack her side of the house too (nominating Swaggy C) and gets away with it. However, she later gets evicted in a 9-1 vote by the rest of the house once she's put up because she'd established herself as untrustworthy.
• Mood-Swinger: Kaitlyn can easily switch from being happy and optimistic to someone who is crying, whiny, and attention seeking.
• My Greatest Second Chance: Subverted. Kaitlyn ends up benefitting from the Bonus Life app, but she is unable to complete her designated challenge, meaning that her eviction stuck.
• New-Age Retro Hippie: She's a practicing yogi who talks about reading others' chakras and auras, and uses holistic remedies like sage and "essential oils".
• No Sense of Personal Space: Kaitlyn appears to have difficulty grasping the concept of personal space and boundaries. She consistently seeks attention from men by being overly physical, either by draping herself over them or hugging them excessively. She continues to exhibit this behavior despite the discomfort it causes the male houseguests, including Tyler and Fessy. Her touchy-feely behavior towards them is made worse by the fact that she was supposed to be in a long-term relationship with her boyfriend back home. Sam confronts Kaitlyn about her overly affectionate and flirtatious behavior when she puts her on the block in Week 4.
• Not Good with Rejection: Kaitlyn becomes upset when Fessy or Tyler fail to provide her with the affirmation or affection she desires. She throws temper tantrums, starts unnecessary drama, or disrupts their games. When Fessy chose to save Haleigh instead of Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn reacted poorly and sought revenge against him. Tyler expressed his concern in a Diary Room session about the difficulty of evicting Kaitlyn from the house, despite her negative impact on his game. Tyler is afraid of the repercussions of attempting to have Kaitlyn evicted from the game, as he believes she would seek revenge against him. After being evicted, Kaitlyn displayed bitterness towards Tyler for deceiving her in the house and not reciprocating her romantic feelings. Her jealousy became apparent during interviews when she discovered that Tyler was starting a relationship with Angela.
• Number Two: Subverted. She thinks she is Tyler's go-to, but Tyler later says she's more like "number nine or ten". However, Tyler invokes this idea by making everyone think he's bitter about her eviction like she was his right-hand woman.
• Really Gets Around: Kaitlyn had a reputation in the house for flirting and using her sexuality as a strategy. In Week 4, Sam called out Kaitlyn in her nomination speech, saying she doesn't respect Kaitlyn in the game because of her strategy of using her feminine wiles and sexuality to manipulate and play the men in the house, particularly Tyler.
• Stalker with a Crush: She was well on her way to becoming one for Tyler. Her obsession with Tyler clearly made him uncomfortable though he couldn't publicly express that out of fear that she would get upset at him and turn on him in the game. When Kaitlyn was evicted, Tyler finally dodged a bullet.
• Sugar-and-Ice Personality: While Kaitlyn is 90% nice and tranquil, there's the matter of the 10% that isn't; a catty side that does not bode well for anybody who upsets her.
• Tragic Mistake: Her strategy to beat a 2-and-a-half minute timer in her Bonus Life challenge to overturn her eviction was a complete disaster. Kaitlyn tried to assemble the puzzle of herself on the floor instead of on the podium where she was instructed to piece it together, finding it easier to do because the puzzle wouldn't fall apart laying on the ground. However, she would now have to move it over to the podium before time ran out. She tugged on it, desperately trying to keep it in one piece, but it wouldn't move. Then the puzzle crumbled in her hands as she tried to move it to the podium before time ran out, failed to reassemble it, and then angrily knocked it down.
• Trauma Button: Kaitlyn has endured much verbal abuse in the past and gets easily upset if she thinks someone is out to get her. This preconception fell on Swaggy C, and Swaggy had to personally come into the HOH room, sit down with her, and swear to her that he wasn't personally after her.
• Trauma Conga Line: First comes her reluctant decision to backdoor Swaggy C, then comes two whole weeks of being blamed for every shady move in the house, then comes her own backdooring, immediately followed by her failure to win her way back into the game.
• Wild Card: Fessy can't sit still peacefully for very long, doesn't always pick the right side of the house to vote on, and does a lot of irrational and highly visible things that upset players who are good at ducking under the radar. He interferes with many plans unwittingly and has annoyed JC and Haleigh to no end.
• Woman Scorned: Post eviction, Kaitlyn had the expectation that she was going to pursue a relationship of a romantic nature with Tyler once the game was over. After all, her boyfriend Joe had broken up with her while she was still in the game due to Kaitlyn professing romantic feelings for Tyler along with flirting with Fessy and Brett. However, once Kaitlyn sees that Tyler and Angela are becoming closer, Kaitlyn gets noticeably more and more jealous. Come Weeks 11 and 12, and Kaitlyn is downright bitter and angry over Tyler and Angela after they finally admit their feelings to each other. Kaitlyn has said that she is going to call Tyler out at the finale for trying to emotionally manipulate her.
• Yandere: Kaitlyn obsession for Tyler is very obvious. She was constantly following him around the house, would become emotional when Tyler would avoid her, and acted like a stalker for him.

---

• Abhorrent Admirer: In Week 9, Brett discusses over the live feeds that Rachel desperately wanted a showmance with him and started trying to lay the groundwork for one on Day 2. It was before the live feeds had even started, and she waited for him to get out of the shower and was making flirty advances toward him. Brett also said Rachel told him "I want to S your D" and it became a running joke for several days. Brett says he didn't want a showmance with her because he saw several red flags and felt that if they had a relationship outside of the house, their personalities wouldn't work together and they'd have screaming arguments.
• Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: At first, Rachel came across as distant, icy and aloof. But she subverts this because she's friendly, goofy and sociable despite her constantly looking stoic. She's also rather emotional as well.
• Big "WHAT?!": Rachel freaks out this way when she hears Angela proudly admitting in her goodbye message that Level Six flipped on her.
• Break the Cutie:
  • Has a breakdown in the diary room when receiving her "crap app," since she believes it's because America dislikes her.
  • Her eviction came as a personal blindside and she immediately stormed out of the house, speechless. For the next few minutes, Julie was barely able to get Rachel to so much as talk before she finally began to give in to a mess of emotions.
• Broken Tears: The final result of being blindsided on Week 5 was that it slowly dawned upon Rachel how all her "friends" in the house had voted to evict her, which made for one very tearful exit from the house.
• Butt-Monkey: The whole time the "Yell!" reviewer is tormenting her in the house and giving her ZERO STARS!!! This is the same pudgy man who tormented Cody and Jessica in Season 19 in the traffic signal holding HOH competition and was an obstacle in the airport-themed Veto. To top it off, her entire alliance of Level 6 turns on her and doesn't even tell her that they are planning to get her out of the house. They felt betrayed by the fact that she threw her alliance under the bus over a lie that was told by the opposition (Bayleigh). Worse, she gets dragged and mocked long after being evicted.
• The Chew Toy: After her eviction, the houseguests start to reveal that they all have some choice things to say about Rachel because she's been acting very perverted and annoying outside of the televised episodes. Rachel's name keeps coming up and being bashed repeatedly as the game continues.
• Cordon Bleugh Chef: The houseguests joked she was one of the most clueless people in the kitchen and once put a mountain of grease on just a few strips bacon to the point it would be less like cooking them on a skillet to more like deep-frying the bacon. Worse, Rachel poured it all down the sink, which is a sure way to start a clog. Angela also wonders if Rachel eats out all the time because she can't cook in real life.
• Didn't See That Coming: Rachel had absolutely no idea she was fast becoming a blindside in the works until the stab in the back took place. It upset her so badly that she made one of the fastest exits out of the house in Big Brother US history. She was beyond livid as she skulked out the door, and almost launched into a profane rant afterward.
• Drama Queen: Rachel was an overly dramatic personality who had a habit of blowing things out of proportion constantly. Her proneness to acting dramatic cost he in the game and was the biggest reason why she was sent home by her own alliance.
• Dramatic Irony: Her own eviction was self-fulfilling prophecy.
• Femme Fatale: Even lampshaded by Scottie in the first episode of the season.
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: She has the honor of being the first houseguest to ever have her Diary Room Session crashed in the middle, when the house operators turned off the lock to the DR and the Yell reviewer was allowed to bust in and start bashing her even in the one place she thought she was safe from him, just in case she tried to take cover from him.
• Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Forced to tone down her language post-eviction when she's about to drop some very heavy f-bombs live, and Julie warns her, "Please don't swear."
• Ironic Name: She may very well have the most appropriate last name for the Big Brother house, ever.
• One-Steve Limit: Broken when Rachel Reilly Villegas entered the house to host the fourth Veto Competition of the season. Strangely, though, no comments were made that there were now two Rachels in the house, nor any jokes about the last name of Swindler.
• Properly Paranoid: Rachel recognized how pawns can be sent home instead of intended targets for eviction. Her inability to stay calm after being nominated was not unfounded, but when she took that nervous behavior out on her own allies, Angela found it uncalled for. Angela then went to Tyler and confirmed that he wasn't against her, and then Tyler went to the rest of the alliance in succession, and now they really didn't want anything more to do with her. Rachel cemented her own downfall in the game.
• Refuge in Audacity: On television, Rachel appears nearly spotless. On the live feeds, Rachel midbehaved around several of the guys and made some really dirty and kinky remarks around Brett.
• Right for the Wrong Reasons: Rachel suspected someone was going to flip the vote on the eviction while she was nominated, and believed it would be instigated by Tyler. Her unsteady and accusatory behavior toward her own ally caused this to actually happen.
• Sore Loser: After going home, she met up with Winston and Kaitlyn and they all formed a posse at her place where they began to diss the other houseguests, especially Angela. Rachel as well as her friends and siblings have taken to trashing Angela at every opportunity on Instagram live streams. They want to see Angela lose because "Karma's a bitch".
• Troll: She was very giddy about chasing after Scottie after learning he hadn't been in a relationship or kissed.
• Unwitting Pawn: Used as a pawn Week 5, but her paranoia got the better of her and convinced the rest of Level Six to cut her loose.
• The Vamp: Rachel is one of the most flirtatious people in the house aside from Kaitlyn, but it makes a lot of the guys nervous to be around her because she is way too forward.
