Voted For: KAYCEE

  • All Take and No Give: Bayleigh expects unwavering loyalty and honesty from her fellow houseguests, but she may not always show the same level of commitment towards them. The nature of her relationships with each alliance member can be described as dysfunctional and transactional. She will only show loyalty to those who prioritize her needs above their own.
  • Alpha Bitch: Bayleigh self-identifies herself as "Queen Bay" and assumes a position of authority within the house, even early on in the season. Bayleigh's true nature is revealed as bossy, rude, and controlling. This inclination becomes evident when Bayleigh becomes Head of Household (HOH) and adopts an overly assertive approach within the house. She exhibits intense anger, even when faced with minor inquiries about her strategic decisions. She often becomes sulky when things don't go her way. When confronted with distress or frustration, she displays a hostile and unkind attitude. Bayleigh has directed her anger towards Swaggy, her romantic partner. During her time as Head of Household (HOH) in Week 5, Bayleigh took a confrontational approach towards her fellow houseguests, particularly Fessy, Scottie, and Rockstar, by pressuring them to pledge their loyalty to her. If they failed to comply, she resorted to issuing threats in order to exert control over them. She frequently used tactics like making them swear on their family members or on the Bible. She has insulted many houseguests by mocking their looks or personality traits. Bayleigh labeled Scottie as an "albino snake" because of his pale skin and perceived characteristics of disloyalty, sneakiness, and manipulation in the game. She made derogatory remarks about JC and his small stature, referring to him as a "little munchkin" and using a highly offensive term that is recognized within the little people community. Bayleigh exhibits disrespectful behavior towards Rockstar, using condescending language and treating her as intellectually inferior. She mistreats people she sees as her allies in the game. When Bayleigh confronted Rockstar about the vote following Rachel's eviction, she spoke in a disrespectful manner and told her to shut up. Rockstar displayed fear in response to Bayleigh's attitude, leading fans to sympathize with Rockstar because of the mistreatment she experienced from Bayleigh. She treated Fessy with a harsh attitude, using condescending language and displaying disdain. She insulted him, implying that he was stupid and incompetent. She dismissed his ideas for nominations and targets, ignoring the importance of teamwork in the game. The only person she treated with any respect was Haleigh. Bayleigh's lack of social skills and disrespect towards others made her a target, ultimately leading to her early demise. Despite her poor performance, she avoided taking responsibility for her negative behavior and instead tried to blame others for her actions. Bayleigh's demeanor is reminiscent of a self-righteous, entitled child who deflects responsibility onto others when she makes mistakes, showing an inability to take personal accountability.
  • Arch-Enemy:
    • Kaitlyn is enemy number one. Bayleigh developed a strong aversion towards Kaitlyn after the latter betrayed their alliance and engaged in treacherous behavior. Ultimately, Kaitlyn aligned herself with the opposing faction within the house (Level Six). During Kaitlyn's Head of Household (HOH) reign in Week 2, she strategically employed a backdoor strategy to eliminate her romantic partner, Swaggy C. This decision intensified Bayleigh's animosity towards Kaitlyn, fuelling her strong desire to evict her from the house ever since.
    • Angela is enemy number two. Bayleigh initially established a friendship with Angela. However, their relationship deteriorated when Angela became convinced that Bayleigh intended to nominate her as a replacement if either Rachel or Brett were removed from the block. She acquired this knowledge from Rachel. Angela perceived Bayleigh and Rachel as individuals who lacked honesty and intentionally sought to instigate conflicts. Angela held the belief that Bayleigh was the individual responsible for being the Hacker, while Tyler was nominated and an attempt was made to undermine Angela's authority as Head of Household. Angela and Tyler collaborated to execute a backdoor strategy against Bayleigh. During the Veto ceremony, Angela confronts Bayleigh, accusing her of power tripping and asserting that it would come to an end as Bayleigh was going to be evicted. Bayleigh engaged in a conflict with Angela, expressing her feelings of betrayal and hurt caused by Angela's communication style and treatment towards her. Despite the revelation that Haleigh, rather than Bayleigh, was the Hacker, Angela remained determined to evict her from the house. Bayleigh developed a deep aversion and resentment towards Angela, which led her to make a solemn commitment to never vote for Angela to win if she were to reach the final stage of the competition.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Girl: Bayleigh emerged as the winner of a Head of Household competition, displaying a confident demeanor that indicated she was the strongest competitor in the house. Furthermore, she gained the power called Identity Theft during Week 3, which added to her growing arrogance and overconfidence. Bayleigh received the app from fans after her boyfriend, Swaggy, was evicted through a backdoor maneuver. When she assumes a position of power in Week 5, she succumbs to its influence and engages in bullying towards her fellow houseguests. Bayleigh uses intimidation and coercion to force the other houseguests to pledge their loyalty and allegiance to her. She displays a hierarchical attitude towards her fellow members of the Hive alliance, perceiving them as subordinates, lackeys, and underlings who are obligated to fulfill her desires. Bayleigh consistently engages in derogatory and negative conversations about the other houseguests, including her own allies. Bayleigh displayed traits of narcissism and arrogance, exposing her true nature. This behavior is characteristic of individuals with a Queen Bee attitude, but it became more noticeable when she gained a small amount of power.
  • Attention Whore: Bayleigh enjoys being the center of attention. If people do not cater to her desires, she displays behavior similar to that of a spoiled and sulking child, throwing temper tantrums. Bayleigh's tendency to excessively dramatize situations has created a negative impression among many of the other houseguests. Her tendency to seek attention and engage in dramatic behavior made her highly susceptible to being targeted. She undeniably possesses this characteristic in parallel with Swaggy C, who has an ego comparable to that of Russia and thrives on attention.
  • Bait the Dog: Bayleigh initially appeared to be a pleasant and amiable houseguest. As the weeks unfolded, she gradually unveiled her true nature. She exhibited assertive, bullying, controlling, mean-spirited, gossiping, and authoritative behaviors. She got satisfaction by mistreating people, talking down to people, and acting as if she was running the house. She would engage in negative gossip and discussions about the other houseguests and she made the game extremely petty and personal. Bayleigh proved herself to be the ultimate Alpha Bitch and Entitled Bitch of the season. She is also an Attention Whore and Drama Queen who has a gigantic ego and suffers from delusions of grandeur.
  • Believing Their Own Lies: Bayleigh attempted to refute Tyler's assertion that she would have chosen Angela as a replacement nominee if a power had been used to save Rachel or Brett from eviction. Bayleigh refuted Tyler's claim during the house meeting, exacerbating the situation. Bayleigh deceived the entire house by not admitting that that she intended to nominate Angela as a replacement, despite having previously informed Tyler otherwise. Tyler interrogated Bayleigh in an attempt to make her confess to what she told him. Bayleigh seemed to be deeply rooted in her own deception, resulting in a state of denial.
  • Berserk Button: Engaging in disloyalty or betraying her trust is strongly discouraged. Such actions will undoubtedly elicit strong disapproval and prompt her to seek revenge. Throughout her time as Head of Household (HOH) in week 5, she consistently applied pressure on her fellow houseguests to ensure their commitment and loyalty to her. If they fail to comply, she would respond with retaliatory actions driven by a vengeful motive. Bayleigh had a major emotional breakdown in week 6 as a result of Angela and Tyler's betrayal and deception. They plotted to cause her downfall. Angela and Tyler suspected that she was the Hacker responsible for putting Tyler on the block. After Angela nominated Bayleigh following Tyler's removal from the chopping block, she became furious with what she perceived as disrespect from Tyler and Angela. During a house meeting led by Haleigh, she (Haleigh) confessed to being the Hacker who nominated Tyler, resulting in a heated confrontation between the two. Tyler confronted Bayleigh about her attempt to deny her intention of nominating Angela as a replacement if a power were used to remove Brett or Rachel from the block. As a result of Tyler confronting Bayleigh about her lies, her anger escalated and she began screaming at him. She accused him of disrespecting and mistreating her without cause. Bayleigh claims that Tyler is a terrible person, and his actions have consistently caused her great distress in the house. This significant breakdown and eruption served as evidence that Bayleigh has a negative response when she feels mistreated, disrespected or betrayed.
  • Big "SHUT UP!": Upon receiving news from Julie Chen that Swaggy had indeed visited her residence subsequent to his eviction and reciprocated her feelings, her reaction was extremely notable. She also utters this statement amidst her intense confrontation with Tyler during Haleigh's house meeting. Bayleigh consistently raises her voice towards Tyler, demanding that he cease speaking, as he repeatedly expresses his intention to evict her from the house due to her possession of a potentially threatening advantage (her Identity Theft power). Bayleigh adamantly rejects Tyler's statements and resorts to repeatedly shouting at him, demanding that he remain silent.
  • Big Sister Instinct: She has this kind of relationship with Haleigh. Bayleigh perceives Haleigh as a younger sister figure for whom she feels responsible and must protect, as Haleigh is four years younger. Bayleigh has formed close alliances with several individuals, but her bond with Haleigh has been the strongest. Bayleigh has consistently shown loyalty to Haleigh.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Initially, she projected an amiable and affable demeanor, but subsequently unveiled her true nature as catty, unpredictable, and filled with animosity.
  • Break the Haughty: In the third week, she earns a power called Identity Theft after the audience voted for her as the top trending houseguest. In the fifth week, she assumes the role of Head of Household and abuses her authority by pressuring other houseguests to remain loyal to her. She is caught off guard when her intended target, Brett, unexpectedly stays and Rachel is evicted instead. Brett not only blindsides Bayleigh by surviving the eviction, but before the live vote, he reveals to the entire house that she has a dangerous power app. This revelation makes Bayleigh become a huge target. Bayleigh becomes shaken and begins to feel trapped. In the sixth week, she is falsely accused of being the Hacker who nominated Tyler. Angela surprises Bayleigh by backdooring her and publicly accuses her of being the Hacker. Bayleigh is treated with disdain by certain houseguests, specifically Angela, Brett, and Tyler. Haleigh calls a house meeting to clear Bayleigh's name and confesses that she was the Hacker. A major altercation occurs between Tyler and Bayleigh, leading to a significant emotional breakdown for her. Her game comes to an end as she is evicted from the house days later. It is intriguing how, in the week leading up to her eviction, Bayleigh appeared to be in a favorable position in the game. She experienced a small taste of power as the Head of Household and allowed it to go to her head. She became arrogant and made a major mistake in the game by revealing her power to someone from the opposing side of the house. Bayleigh's poor behavior and bad game decisions have caused her to be taken down a peg in the sixth week of the game.
  • Broken Pedestal: Bayleigh genuinely liked Tyler and wished him success in the game. She believed they had a genuine friendship. Bayleigh wanted to collaborate with Tyler and believed she could rely on him. However, Tyler did not feel the same way about Bayleigh. He was secretly plotting her demise with his Level Six alliance members, unbeknownst to her. Bayleigh is blindsided and shocked during the sixth week when Tyler betrays her. She found out that Tyler had been deceiving her for some time. Tyler accused her of being the Hacker who nominated him and informed her that he would vote her out because she possessed a power. During a house meeting led by Haleigh, Tyler and Bayleigh engage in a heated argument, leading to Bayleigh experiencing a significant emotional breakdown. Bayleigh had lost all trust and faith in Tyler, and their relationship had completely deteriorated.
  • Broken Tears: Throughout Week 6, she experiences three significant emotional breakdowns, during which she breaks down in tears. These instances include when she first experiences harassment from Tyler. After the Veto ceremony, when Bayleigh was backdoored, Tyler exacerbated the situation by accusing her of being the one who put him on the block as the Hacker. He expressed his lack of trust in her by stating that he does not believe anything she says due to her reputation as a liar. He enticed her by informing her that, in her role as the Hacker, she had the power to cancel his vote since he intended to vote her out. The second time occurred when Hayleigh confessed her error and disclosed her true identity as the Hacker. She confided in Haleigh, expressing her frustration at being wrongly accused by everyone, particularly Tyler and Angela, of being the Hacker responsible for causing chaos in the house and attempting to take over Angela's power for the week. Surprisingly, as she breaks down crying, she doesn't blame Haleigh for not admitting to being the Hacker. Instead, she directs her anger and frustration towards the other houseguests. The last time she breaks down in tears is when she explodes on Tyler after Hayleigh calls a house meeting. After confronting Tyler about his mistreatment while she is on the block, she collapses to the ground and sobs uncontrollably, overwhelmed by anger and emotion due to Tyler's betrayal.
  • Brutal Honesty: Bayleigh exhibits a remarkable level of bluntness. Bayleigh has a tendency to express her thoughts candidly, regardless of whether they may be unpleasant or contain elements of animosity. Her direct and straightforward manner has led to her being perceived as engaging in bullying behavior towards others.
  • The Bully: Bayleigh consistently uses derogatory language and engages in belittling behavior towards her fellow houseguests, explicitly intending to instill fear or intimidate them. She has exhibited bullying behavior towards Scottie, JC, Rockstar, Tyler, and Fessy. Bayleigh exhibits extreme cruelty towards others without any apparent reason.
  • Butt-Monkey: Bayleigh displayed some negative traits during her time in the house, but she also faced numerous challenges in her short time in the house. Bayleigh is shocked and surprised when Steve, a number for her side of the house, is unexpectedly evicted during the first week. Furthermore, she experiences a profound sense of betrayal when her trusted ally, Kaitlyn, unexpectedly turns into her enemy. Kaitlyn's decision to betray her alliance and eliminate Swaggy, Bayleigh's showmance partner, can be seen as a betrayal towards her. Bayleigh was taken by surprise by Kaitlyn's actions and felt deeply betrayed. She lost trust in her. Bayleigh experienced profound loneliness and isolation following Swaggy's eviction from the house, as she lost her boyfriend. She eventually forms a new alliance known as The Hive. However, they regularly experience unexpected eliminations on a weekly basis. In Week 3, Bayleigh anticipated Brett's eviction, but to her surprise, Winston was ultimately evicted instead. The Level Six alliance once again demonstrated their superior strategic maneuvering. In Week 5, Bayleigh, the Head of Household, revealed her intention to evict Brett, who was her main target for eviction. Bayleigh carelessly reveals to Rachel that she has a highly dangerous power app that could greatly influence the game in the upcoming weeks. Rachel then shares the information with the rest of her Level Six alliance, making Bayleigh their target. Bayleigh encounters another unexpected twist during the live eviction when Brett exposes her power app to the entire house, including her Hive alliance members who were unaware. Bayleigh's behavior caused everyone in the house to see her as untrustworthy and suspicious. In Week 6, she becomes a prime target for Level Six. Tyler and Angela plot to execute a backdoor plan against Bayleigh. Bayleigh appears to be completely unaware that she is the primary target for the week. She firmly believes that her friend Angela would never betray her or nominate her. Bayleigh is wrongly accused of nominating Tyler as the Hacker, when in reality, it was Haleigh. Haleigh initially refuses to clear Bayleigh's name because she is worried that disclosing her identity as the Hacker could jeopardize her own game. During the Veto ceremony, Angela surprises Bayleigh by using the Power of Veto to remove Tyler from the nomination block and backdooring her. Haleigh takes the initiative to clear Bayleigh's name by calling a house meeting and admitting that she was the one who nominated Tyler. The meeting between Tyler and Bayleigh escalates into a heated argument, resulting in Bayleigh experiencing a severe emotional breakdown. She is subsequently evicted by an almost unanimous vote, including being ousted by her own allies. Bayleigh's behavior may have been problematic at times; however, it is undeniable that she faced significant challenges during her time in the house.
  • Cannot Keep a Secret: In Week 5, Bayleigh revealed to Rachel, a member of the opposing alliance who was not even part of her own alliance, that she possessed the third BB App power called Identity Theft. After Bayleigh spilled the beans about her power to Rachel, she immediately regretted it and wondered why she couldn't keep things to herself. To worsen the situation, Rachel also informed Angela, which then led to the spread of the information among the other members of the Level Six alliance. Brett revealed Bayleigh's power to the entire house during his eviction speech. Her revelation about having a power app made Bayleigh a prime target, whereas before that, she was hardly considered for nomination. Because Bayleigh exposed her power to Rachel and it became known to everyone in the house, Tyler became determined to evict her. He was afraid that if he didn't, he might become a target of her power in the upcoming week.
  • Can't Take Criticism: Whenever someone criticizes Bayleigh, she takes that as disrespect aimed towards her. She always believes that she's in the right and nobody has a right to criticize her behaviour. Bayleigh has a very self righteous attitude and cannot handle when someone tells her she's in the wrong. Whenever her alliance questions her game moves or they disagree with her, they are met with disdain and mistreatment.
  • The Cassandra: Angela targeted her because everyone else "Deduced" that she was the hacker. She wasn't. But nobody believed her, aside from Haleigh, the actual hacker.
  • Control Freak: While Bayleigh showed tendencies of one all show, she becomes downright hostile to several people during her HOH reign in Week 5, forcing Faysal, JC, Scottie, Tyler, and even Rachel to play by her rules because she can't trust a single one of them.
  • Death Glare: She is always giving these to people she doesn't like, trust or those she is angry with.
  • Did Not Think This Through: During her Head of Household (HOH) reign in Week 5, Bayleigh inadvertently revealed to Rachel that she had the third BB Power App, specifically the Identity Theft power. After Bayleigh disclosed the truth and provided specific details about her power, Rachel proceeded to confide in Angela, revealing that Bayleigh possessed the power. The remaining members of the Level Six alliance became aware of this information, and Brett revealed Bayleigh's power to the entire house during his eviction speech. Bayleigh immediately felt regret as she realized her inability to keep quiet. As a consequence, Bayleigh positioned herself as the primary target among all the housemates.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Bayleigh openly expressed her feeling of betrayal towards Tyler, admitting that she planned to influence the Jury against both him and Angela. She made a pact with the other members of the Hive alliance, agreeing that if any of them made it to the Final Two, they would all vote against Tyler and Angela. It is understandable why Bayleigh felt resentful towards Tyler and Angela. However, trying to convince other alliance members to vote against someone based solely on her own claims is an extreme action, especially considering the game's context.
  • Drama Queen: Bayleigh is notorious for her excessive dramatic attitude in all aspects of her life. She tends to exaggerate and take things personally. Bayleigh overreacts when she feels that others are being disrespectful or mean towards her. Her exaggerated behavior is often perceived as attention-seeking, and she presents herself as a victim to elicit sympathy from the other houseguests. She overreacted when Tyler made snarky comments towards her after she was nominated. Tyler calmly informed her that he was going to vote her out because she had a dangerous power and she was an unpredictable player. Bayleigh later criticized Tyler and complained about how he treated her so badly and poorly just because he greeted her with a simple "good morning". Bayleigh tends to exaggerate every minor detail of every situation.
  • Drunk with Power: After Bayleigh won Head of Household, she quickly became controlling and bossy. She believed she was the queen of the house and expected everyone to obey her every command. Her thirst for power ultimately led to her downfall in the game. If she hadn't been so controlling during her time in power, she wouldn't have become such a big target and could have stayed in the game for a longer period.
  • Entitled Bitch: Bayleigh expects undying loyalty from everyone in the house and obedience to her every command. However, when it comes to looking out for others, she fails to fulfill her own obligations. She is extremely entitled and behaves like a spoiled princess who expects to be catered to at all times. When she doesn't get her way, she acts incredibly disgruntled and throws a temper tantrum. Bayleigh is the kind of person who has never been told "NO" in her life.
  • Et Tu, Brute?: She undergoes intense emotional distress when Angela backdoors her in Week 6, and when Tyler betrays her by falsely accusing her of being the Hacker responsible for his nomination. After Angela used the Power of Veto to save Tyler from being nominated, she replaced him with Bayleigh. This led to a public confrontation between Tyler and Bayleigh. He accused her of constantly trying to nominate him, referred to her as the H@cker, and claimed that she could nullify his vote since he intends to vote her out anyway. Bayleigh was deeply hurt by Tyler's betrayal, to the point where she formed a jury pact with her fellow Hive members to ensure they would vote against Tyler if he made it to the finals.
  • Genre Blind: Did Bayleigh genuinely believe that disclosing her power app to Rachel, an individual who is not affiliated with her alliance, was a prudent decision? Was she under the impression that Rachel would not disseminate this information to the other houseguests? The act of disclosing a game-changing power to Rachel was a significant mistake made by Bayleigh, which ultimately had detrimental consequences for her position in the game.
  • Good is Not Nice: Bayleigh can be regarded as a person of decent character, as her intentions are mostly coming from a good place. But she is the embodiment of a mega Alpha Bitch who acts very spoiled, controlling, bossy, and entitled. These characteristics are off-putting to many of the houseguests and fans.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Bayleigh exhibits a volatile and short-tempered disposition, which takes her a considerable amount of time to regain composure from. When Haleigh convenes a house meeting to disclose her identity as the Hacker responsible for nominating Tyler instead of Bayleigh, Bayleigh becomes extremely agitated and confronts Tyler. She expresses her anger at being falsely accused and allegedly mistreated for an extended period of time.
  • Hot-Blooded: Bayleigh displays traits of being hot-headed, passionate, impulsive, and overly emotional. Bayleigh frequently displays a volatile temper, often leading to outbursts when things don't go her way. She fearlessly expresses her thoughts. During the house meeting with Haleigh, it became evident that she had a volatile temperament as she lost control and directed her anger towards Tyler. She accidentally bit her tongue while angry, causing it to bleed. Bayleigh admitted to having a temporary loss of control during her altercation with Tyler, which is commonly known as a rage blackout.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Asked JC what the difference between a "Dwarf" and a "Midget" was. Then, when she tried to explain the N-Word Privileges to JC, said "Fag".
  • It's All About Me: Bayleigh displays self-interested and self-involved characteristics. She undermines her allies, prioritizing her own interests above all else. She lacks the ability to collaborate and fails to acknowledge the perspectives and contributions of her allies. She demands loyalty and respect from others, despite not always displaying these qualities herself.
  • Large Ham: Bayleigh has a very large and extravagant personality. Everything thats she says or does or how she acts is over the top and dramatic. She has the Sassy Black Woman persona down pat and she plays it up during her Diary Room sessions. Her extravagant and egotistical personality is something she definitely shares in common with Swaggy C. They both thrive off of drama and attention so it's no wonder why they are a match made in heaven.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Bayleigh was on a power trip and exhibited smug and arrogant behavior during her time as Head of Household. She acted as if she were the queen of the house, expecting everyone to bow down to her. She mistreated her allies by constantly fighting with them, starting unnecessary drama, and spreading gossip with Rockstar, Fessy and Haleigh. Bayleigh bullied and threatened other people in order to force them to pledge their loyalty and allegiance to her. She attempted to manipulate Rachel into betraying Tyler and the rest of her alliance in order to exploit her for personal gain. Rachel tells Angela that Bayleigh has a power app, which ultimately ruins Bayleigh's game. She is caught off guard on eviction night when Brett, her intended target, stays instead of Rachel and publicly reveals her power app during his eviction speech in front of the entire house. In Week 6, Angela becomes the Head of Household. Bayleigh trusts Angela so much that she doesn't consider using her power app to alter the nominations. Angela and Tyler conspired to secretly backdoor Bayleigh. Haleigh, Bayleigh's closest ally and friend, wins the Hacker competition and shocks everyone by nominating Tyler. Bayleigh is wrongly blamed for Tyler's nomination, as most of the houseguests mistakenly believe she is the Hacker. Haleigh allows Bayleigh to take the blame for her actions as the Hacker. Haleigh eventually confesses to being the hacker to the house, but it is too late as Bayleigh already has a significant target on her back. Angela deceitfully attempted to put Bayleigh at ease before the Veto meeting by lying to her and inviting her to spend time together, only to ultimately betray her. During the Veto ceremony, Angela removes Tyler from the block and shocks Bayleigh by choosing her as the replacement nominee. Angela humiliates Bayleigh during her Veto speech by accusing her of being a liar and the Hacker who nominated Tyler. She concludes her speech by informing her that her reign of terror in the house is over and she will be evicted. Bayleigh then receives the same treatment from Tyler and Angela that she shelled out to others when she had been in power. When she experienced the same treatment she had been dishing out, she reacted with anger and displayed erratic behavior. She is near unanimously voted out, even by her own allies. "Karma is a bitch, Queen Bay!"
  • Loose Lips: Remarked by Julie, Bayleigh never got a chance to use her Power App because she told someone about it, and she got evicted because she had too much power. In the eviction episode, Bayleigh and Haleigh each spent a DR session regretting that once you tell someone in the house about something (the Identity Theft and the H@cker Comp win, respectively), everyone will soon know about it.
  • N-Word Privileges: Discussed when JC used the word "nigga" as an example of words that should not be used to describe people which would come across as insensitive. Bayleigh stopped him just for saying the word and gave him a cautious warning that it was very out of line because it's a highly combustible talking point.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: The house got rid of her because of how annoying she became, but Bayleigh later admitted to Julie she did that to get rid of Rachel when Rachel was going off all the time.
  • The Perfectionist: Bayleigh is very picky and a perfectionist. She prefers things to be a certain way, and if they aren't, she becomes unhappy. She holds the title of a beauty pageant queen, so it is expected that her perfectionist attitude and desire for precision. One can suspect that Bayleigh would apply this same attitude to her wedding with Swaggy and would be the ultimate Bridezilla.
  • Pet the Dog: At the very least, Sam did not vote to evict Bayleigh when it was otherwise going to be unanimous. What makes this so unusual is one would think Haleigh would be that vote, but both Bayleigh and Haleigh knew there was no point in trying to do that, and Sam did it anyway without even being asked to do so.
  • The Prima Donna: Bayleigh acts very spoiled and diva-like. She believes that everyone should kowtow to her and show loyalty, regardless of how she treats them in return. During her reign as HOH, she became power hungry and behaved as if she were the Queen Bee of the house, dictating everyone's actions.
  • Proud Beauty: Bayleigh was the first African-American Miss Missouri USA. She also won Miss Congeniality, which even surprised Bayleigh herself.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Bayleigh snapped from repeatedly being thrown under the bus by everyone, especially Tyler. After Haleigh called a house meeting to settle the misunderstanding that Bayleigh was the first H@cker, Tyler denied a lot of the things he said that were true and Bayleigh went nuclear. She screamed at the very top of her lungs and went straight into one of the loudest meltdowns the house has ever seen.
  • Sassy Black Woman: Bayleigh exaggerates this trope to extreme levels. She is highly sassy, passionate, and opinionated, never holding back in her words or actions. Bayleigh has expressed concerns about perpetuating the stereotype of the "sassy, angry Black woman." Her sassiness is played up to hammy levels during her Diary Room sessions.
  • The Scapegoat: Angela as well as Tyler got behind the wheel of the bus in Week 6 and blamed Bayleigh for everything going wrong in their alliance because she had too much of an advantage and couldn't be controlled. Bayleigh herself wondered if they were targeting her by accident or on purpose.
  • Ship Tease: Oh so much with Swaggy C. It got to where they were intimate by Day 6, cuddling shortly after, and basically wanted to date. Swaggy even lampshaded that a showmance spells curtains for players in the house, and his eviction came 17 days later, but all the hours he spent with Bayleigh were worth it. After his eviction, Swaggy c met Bayleigh's family. During the finale of the season, Swaggy proposed to Bayleigh on live television and she accepted. They were married a year later and became a Big Brother Official Couple.
  • Spoiled Brat: Bayleigh exhibits a demeanor characterized by entitlement and privilege, consistently seeking to make everything revolve around herself. If her desires are not fulfilled, she displays a sense of dissatisfaction and tends to exhibit immature behavior similar to a child throwing tantrums.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Bayleigh got the royal treatment at the start of Week 3. Having your showmance voted out leads you to easily become the most trending houseguest by America's Vote to exact payback with the use of the BB App Store. It is unfortunate that she carelessly revealed her possession of this power to Rachel, who then spread this information to the other members of their alliance. Brett revealed Bayleigh's power to the other housemates during his live eviction speech.
  • Token Black Friend: Bayleigh assumes this role towards Haleigh, Scottie, Fessy, and Rockstar. She is the only black member of the Hive alliance after Swaggy is evicted in the second week. Scottie, Haleigh, and Rockstar are individuals of Caucasian descent, whereas Fessy identifies as Muslim. Interestingly enough, Bayleigh is the only black female cast this season so she is not only the token black person in her alliance but she's the only black woman in the entire cast.
  • Trigger: Bayleigh takes major offense to discriminatory remarks because she's endured demeaning treatment from an almost entirely white community. She states this during an intense debate with JC about racism and the use of derogatory terms.
  • We Used to Be Friends: She used to be friends with Kaitlyn, Angela, and Tyler until they all betrayed her in the game. Kaitlyn was initially part of her alliance but betrayed Bayleigh by voting out Steve and backdooring Swaggy C, her boyfriend. After betraying her twice, Bayleigh lost trust in Kaitlyn, and the two became bitter enemies. Angela and Bayleigh were initially friends in the game, but their relationship soured when Angela conspired with Tyler to backdoor Bayleigh. Bayleigh felt betrayed when Angela believed the accusations that she was the Hacker who nominated Tyler. Bayleigh held a grudge against Angela even after she was evicted, vowing to vote against her if she made it to the final. Finally, she admitted her attraction to Tyler and expressed her interest in collaborating with him. Unfortunately, Tyler had been planning to get rid of Bayleigh for weeks. Tyler sealed his fate when he conspired with Angela to eliminate her through a backdoor eviction. Tyler accused Bayleigh of being the Hacker who nominated him and expressed concern about her dangerous power, which could potentially impact both his and his alliance's game. Tyler and Bayleigh's relationship became extremely hostile and escalated to a volatile confrontation during a house meeting led by Haleigh. Bayleigh stated that if Tyler and Angela both made it to the Final 2, she and her alliance would make a pact to vote against Tyler.

Evicted: Evicted 5-1 VS. KAYCEE note 
HOH Evicted Under: HALEIGH (in Week 7).
Voted For: KAYCEE

  • Aggressive Categorism: She is highly judgmental towards individuals with differing views and opinions. She harbors animosity towards attractive and popular girls, white men, straight men, and conservatives. She advocates for marginalized communities and groups, including ethnic minorities, women, and the LGBTQ community.
  • Arch-Enemy: Brett. She strongly dislikes him and has felt that way since the beginning of the game! It appears that there is a significant amount of animosity and negative emotions between Rockstar and Brett. They have had a strained relationship since the beginning of the game, with both harboring mutual dislike for each other. They have exchanged personal insults and avoided each other, failing to make an effort to truly understand one another. Rockstar views Brett as an arrogant, smug, and privileged individual because of his white male status. On the other hand, Brett perceives Rockstar as obnoxious, unintelligent, and excessively liberal, frequently categorizing her as a social justice warrior (SJW). The situation between them worsened when Brett betrayed Rockstar by lying about her in his eviction speech, in order to protect another player, Tyler. Rockstar became extremely angry. Additionally, Brett exacerbated the situation by forming a false alliance with Rockstar while she was on the verge of eviction, despite his intention to vote against her. Rockstar was under the impression that Brett sincerely wanted to form an alliance with her and that she had sufficient votes to remain in the house. However, unbeknownst to her, Brett was deceiving her. After Rockstar's eviction, Brett left a malicious goodbye message, taunting her about their fake alliance and ridiculing her for being deceived. Rockstar responded by calling him a spoiled, entitled brat, as well as Angela, another player in the game. Their interactions have been marked by tension and negative emotions.
  • Ascended Fangirl: Rockstar, along with Scottie and Haleigh, have admitted that they are big fans of the show. The other superfan of the show is Tyler, but he purposely hid his superfan identity in attempts to not make himself a target in the house.
  • Attention Whore: She enjoys being the center of attention and often exaggerates situations to attract the desired level of attention. It has been argued that her overly emotional behavior is used as a strategic tactic to gain attention and sympathy from the other houseguests.
  • Berserk Button: Brett's actions consistently irritate and provoke her, acting as a Berserk Button. During the third week, Brett attempted to manipulate the 6-5 vote against Winston on "Rockstar" during his eviction speech, in an effort to protect the confidentiality of Tyler's vote. Rockstar was caught off guard and became furious when Brett disrupted her daughter's birthday. During a live eviction show, she passionately expressed her anger towards him, singling out Brett as her target. She is also provoked by individuals she sees as privileged and entitled. Rockstar categorizes individuals such as Brett, Winston, and Angela as privileged and spoiled, effortlessly receiving everything they want.
  • Berserker Tears: Rockstar cries every single time she's nominated for eviction. She believes she gets so angry it causes her to cry. She also cries a lot whenever she loses a competition. She insists that she gets so upset and cries because she comes close to winning it only to come up short. She has come up short on two notable occasions which was during the Week 6 HOH competition and the Week 7 Veto competition.
  • Beta Bitch: Rockstar takes on the role of Bayleigh's Alpha Bitch. She is Bayleigh's closest ally and friend in the house. Bayleigh and Rockstar are both judgmental and opinionated. She frequently engages in negative discussions and gossip about the other houseguests. Rockstar and Bayleigh bond over negative conversations where they criticize and gossip about other houseguests, fostering a pessimistic and negative mindset.
  • Big Beautiful Woman: Rockstar is a heavier set woman and She Cleans Up Nicely. It is remarkable to see how Rockstar's appearance transforms when she takes the time to practice self-care, such as styling her hair, applying makeup, and dressing elegantly. Normally, Rockstar appears dowdy and frumpy, but she becomes unrecognizable when she dresses up.
  • Big Fun: Rockstar is a female with a heavier physique, and has a notably exuberant, passionate, extroverted, and outspoken disposition. She has a prominent Large Ham persona, particularly evident in her Diary Room sessions, where she tends to amplify and dramatize every aspect of her personality.
  • Big Sister Instinct: Since she is the oldest female houseguest of the season, Angie has an older sister vibe with some of the other houseguests, particularly Haleigh, Swaggy C, Bayleigh, Kaitlyn, and Faysal. She is the most reliable member of the Hive alliance and possesses greater wisdom than the others. She is the Team Mom influence of the alliance and is often the one to give advice to the younger members of the alliance.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: In her pre-season interviews, many fans expected her to be a lively, cheerful, and friendly houseguest with an outgoing and captivating personality. During her stay in the house, Rockstar consistently displayed excessive emotional reactions, dramatic behavior, judgmental attitudes, and engaged in catty and gossipy conversations. She frequently uses derogatory speech within the house and displays envy and jealousy towards her female houseguests, particularly Rachel and Angela. The animosity she shows towards Angela and Rachel is largely due to her jealousy towards their physical appearance and the perceived advantages they have due to pretty privilege. For someone who claims to be a feminist and a strong supporter of women's empowerment, she is being hypocritical by not showing support for all of her female housemates, regardless of their affiliation within the house.
  • Black-and-White Morality: It appears that Rockstar holds strong and uncompromising views on various subjects, including political beliefs and gender dynamics. She openly identifies as liberal and is proud of her political views. It seems that she tends to view men, particularly white men like Brett and Winston, in an unfavorable light, and she is not hesitant to call out what she perceives as white male privilege. It's worth noting that while Rockstar may have valid concerns about privilege and inequality, it's important to remember that individual experiences can vary greatly. It is not accurate or fair to make sweeping generalizations about any group based on race, gender, or sexual orientation. Rockstar has openly admitted to considering identity politics when it comes to making her voting decisions, indicating a preference for voting for women or members of the LGBTQ+ community over men, particularly white men, or heterosexual individuals, even if the latter may have played a better game.
  • Boomerang Bigot: Rockstar is a Caucasian woman and does not hold white people, specifically white men, in high esteem. She demonstrates unwavering support for marginalized communities, encompassing ethnic minorities, women, and the LGBTQ community. Therefore, she is judgemental against members of her own race.
  • Born Unlucky: Rockstar is easily the goat of the house this season. She loses mental competitions and physical competitions very quickly, becomes a block-warmer almost overnight, and the one time she almost pulled through with a Veto win she needed to save her life in the game, she played herself by accidentally giving Tyler the answer when he had the wrong choice and caused him to survive to the final round, and then screwed herself over in the last round.
  • Brutal Honesty: Rockstar is known for her candid expression of opinions and articulate communication style. Unfortunately, her straightforwardness and candor have caused negative reactions from some individuals, occasionally irritating others.
  • Butt-Monkey: Rockstar was given the harshest punishment, which involved following Mr. Pectacular's dietary regimen, consuming unpleasant smoothies, and running multiple laps around the backyard. She has not only endured severe punishment but has also been used as a pawn in a game, being nominated three times within a three-week period.
  • Cassandra Truth: Only Rockstar seemed to be aware of Tyler and his game early on. Tyler targeted Rockstar because he heard from other houseguests that she was becoming suspicious of him. Despite recognizing Tyler as a clever and dangerous player, she was unable to take any action because her alliance members, namely Fessy, Haleigh, Bayleigh, and Scottie, were unaware of Tyler's strategic moves and his ability to align with multiple factions. She was unable to win a Head of Household competition, preventing her from making a move against Tyler and his alliance.
  • Catchphrase: "CUTE", "REAL CUTE", and "DISGUSTING".
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Angie is very wild and out there. Because of how avant garde her personality is and her appearance is, she could easily rub some people the wrong way or be judged because of her appearance.
  • Cool Big Sis: Rockstar plays this role to her fellow Hive alliance members, including Bayleigh, Haleigh, Fessy and Scottie. She's the older sister figure and possesses more wisdom than the other players in the alliance. Of the Hive alliance, Rockstar is the oldest member and not only does she display big sister like qualities but she's also very motherly towards them.
  • Cordon Bleugh Chef: Depending on what recipe she has to make under Jessie's fitness program, Rockstar gets to create delicious dishes for the house or nasty protein drinks.
  • Deadpan Snarker: When is Rockstar not using sarcasm or making snarky comments in general? Her DR sessions are constantly filled with tons of sassiness and she's not afraid to spout of witty comments.
  • Does Not Like Men: Downplayed. Angie does not harbor a complete disdain for all men; however, she does not appear to hold the male gender in exceptionally high esteem either. Rockstar aims to eliminate all male houseguests in the game through the establishment of an exclusively female alliance. The intensity of her animosity is particularly directed towards heterosexual Caucasian males, namely Winston and Brett. Rockstar posits that men possess a greater degree of privileges in comparison to women, thereby enjoying more societal advantages. Rockstar has openly acknowledged her identification as a Straw Feminist and her strong advocacy for women's empowerment.
  • Drama Queen: She's one of the most dramatic houseguests of the season along with Kaitlyn and Bayleigh. She exaggerates everything and makes a big deal out of the smallest things. She has a tendency to be over emotional when things don't go her way and she will openly cry for attention or to gain sympathy.
  • Dramatic Irony: It's the OTEV competition. Tyler has the wrong medicine on the podium. Angie accidentally makes him realize he needs to go back and get the right one. He survives the round. Last round. Angie gets to the podium first with medicine and Tyler believes he lost. Angie now has it wrong, while Tyler has it right. Rockstar pulls defeat from the jaws of victory and lengthens her losing streak, while Tyler wins his fifth competition.
  • Dye Hard: Rockstar seems to have a love for dying her hair in wild and bright colours.
  • Expressive Hair: Rockstar's hair color is extremely expressive because it is dyed a very striking color of hot pink.
  • Face Your Fears: She gets nervous after climbing to the top of the house's rock wall because she's afraid of heights, doesn't want to let go even though she's in a safety harness, and Kaitlyn has to coach her to push off.
  • Fag Hag: Rockstar expresses strong support for the LGBTQ+ community, emphasizing her dedication as an advocate and ally. It is unsurprising, given her strong liberal stance. She has expressed reluctance to nominate JC and Kaycee, who are members of the LGBTQ+ community, if she were to become the Head of Household (HOH). According to her statement, she strongly indicates a preference for voting for either JC or Kaycee if they reach the Final 2, with one being her top priority over the other. Rockstar ultimately votes for Kaycee, the only lesbian contestant of the season, to win instead of Tyler, who, as a heterosexual white male, had no chance of getting her vote.
  • Fat and Proud: Downplayed. She's not fat, but she is rather full-figured and voluptuous and she is absolutely proud of it. She has no qualms with wearing revealing clothing so that she can show off her fuller figure. Rockstar seems to be fairly comfortable in her body despite the fact that she does occasionally express insecurities about her physical appearance.
  • Fat Best Friend: Downplayed. Rockstar is the most full-figured female of the Hive alliance and she's best friends and close allies with Bayleigh and Haleigh, who are both slimmer than her.
  • Fat Idiot: Downplayed. Rockstar is often considered one of the least skilled players of the season. She not only underperforms in competitions, but her social interactions with individuals outside of her alliance (known as The Hive) are lacking, and her strategic abilities are subpar, although she has occasionally shown accurate assessments of the other houseguests. A clear demonstration of her lack of intelligence in the game occurred during the Week 7 Veto competition. She inadvertently revealed the correct answer on a medicine bottle to Tyler, who had mistakenly chosen the wrong answer. After a ridiculous blunder, Rockstar received a bottle with the wrong answer, while Tyler received a bottle with the correct answer in the final round. Rockstar's performance in the house was considered one of the least effective, along with Fessy, making her an easy target for nominations by other houseguests.
  • Fat Slob: Downplayed. Rockstar is the curviest female houseguest of the season. She's also The Pig-Pen and has terrible hygiene. She openly acknowledged her infrequent showering habits, inconsistent handwashing practices after bodily contact or restroom use, indulgence in food and drink without restraint, and consistent refusal to wear footwear for protection against the unsanitary ground.
  • Faux Action Girl: Rockstar confidently presents herself as a strong competitor and consistently expresses her determination to prove this to her fellow houseguests. Throughout her time in the house, she has consistently demonstrated her lack of competitiveness and has not won any competitions. Because of her limited competitive abilities, she was seen as a vulnerable player by the other houseguests, making her an easy target to use as a pawn.
  • The Fundamentalist: Rockstar is proudly Liberal and openly criticizes the Trump administration, aligning herself firmly with progressive social issues and politics. She has actively engaged in critical analysis and participated in debates with individuals who hold divergent ideologies, including Winston, JC, and Steve. She often displays a condescending attitude when confronted with opposition. Rockstar has initiated discussions about race and racism with her fellow housemates.
  • Genki Girl: Rockstar is known for their hyper and excitable personality. She exudes an abundance of life and energy that may be overwhelming for others if they spend a long time in her presence. Rockstar is an outgoing and flamboyant individual. She's a Large Ham and this is emphasized in her Diary Room sessions. Despite her extroverted personality, she is also sharp, emotional, introspective, and savvy.
  • Godzilla Threshold: After making a monumental mistake that cost her a Veto she really, really needed, Rockstar had only one option left and it was to influence the house to keep her over Kaycee. Rockstar enlisted Brett to help her weave a charismatic eviction speech to show how bad it is to trust Kaycee with your game in the house because she plays for herself, and even struck a Final Two deal with him.
  • Heroic BSoD: On and off from the third eviction night into the fourth, Rockstar feels like garbage and defeated, and is unhappy that she's become an easy target.
  • Holier Than Thou: Rockstar exhibits a superiority complex and asserts her dominance by lecturing others. She exhibits a condescending attitude towards individuals with differing viewpoints and lectures them on her own personal ideology. She exhibits a highly critical attitude and possesses a binary mindset, which can make her appear narrow-minded and unpleasant.
  • Hope Spot: During the OTEV Veto Competition, it seems that she had won, only to find out that the medicine she got was wrong, while Tyler grabbed the correct one. Not only does she lose the challenge, but she is brought to tears, beats herself up and ends up looking like a complete idiot. She's evicted that same week.
  • Humiliation Conga: Her last week was a series of unfortunate events for her. Kaycee wins the H@cker Competition and uses her power to remove herself from the block, replacing herself with Rockstar. In the Veto Competition, she mistakenly shared her answers with Tyler, causing him to return with the right medicine after realizing his mistake. Then, just when it seemed like Rockstar was about to achieve a major upset by winning the challenge, it was revealed that she had mistakenly grabbed the wrong medicine. In contrast, Tyler had grabbed the correct one, resulting in his victory and thwarting her alliance's plan to eliminate him. Tyler uses the Veto on Angela, whom Rockstar referred to as an "entitled princess," which leads to Haleigh having to re-nominate Kaycee. Brett, whom Rockstar had a very low opinion of, deceives her by discussing the possibility of making amends and forming an alliance. Rockstar falls for it, unaware of Brett's deceit. On eviction night, she is almost unanimously voted out of the house. In their goodbye messages, both Brett and Angela harshly insult her.
  • Idiot Ball: Rockstar absolutely fumbled the OTEV Veto Competition by impulsively checking answers with Tyler. This caused Tyler to realize his answer was wrong and go back to retrieve the correct medicine for the skunk. Tyler was able to survive another round thanks to Rockstar's mistake, which forced him to go back and correct his choice just as Haleigh was about to discover it. In the final round of the competition, Haleigh was eliminated, and Rockstar herself went up to the podium with the wrong answer. Tyler, thinking he was going to lose, was relieved to discover that he was the only one with the correct answer and had won the Veto.
  • I Just Want to Be Special: Bemoans her bad luck at being passed over for BB App Store access and her lot in mediocrity.
  • Intergenerational Friendship: She has a connection or relationship with Haleigh. Rockstar is the oldest female houseguest, while Haleigh is the youngest female houseguest of the current season. Rockstar has a significant age advantage over Haleigh, being 14 years older. The age difference gives Rockstar more wisdom and life experience than Haleigh. Despite the age difference, they share a strong bond and can be considered the closest allies within the Hive alliance.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Yes, she's not the most pleasant person and is judgmental about others a lot of the time but she's a mother who genuinely loves her kids and it's probably the most heartwarming quality about her. However, despite this, she is very loud, aggressive, abrasive and her attitude has turned a lot of the other houseguests off.
  • Joke Character: It's funny how Rockstar is so useless in the game. She faces challenges in competitions and is unable to ensure the safety of herself and her alliance. She lacks social skills and only forms connections within her group. Additionally, she is a Sore Loser who demonstrates poor sportsmanship by displaying a negative attitude when she doesn't win. Furthermore, her evaluations of most of the houseguests are consistently incorrect.
  • The Lad-ette: Rockstar is a bit unpolished. She is a smoker, utilizes profanity extensively, consumes food and beverages like a pig, exhibits poor personal hygiene practices, and has numerous tattoos all over her body. She has a bombastic, opinionated, and aggressive personality and temperament. Despite her gruff characteristics, she can also be nurturing, emotional, and introspective.
  • Lady Swears-a-Lot: Rockstar has a penchant for profanity, effortlessly uttering curse words. Rockstar's hypocrisy is evident in the situation where Kaycee was swearing at her due to a conflict that Rockstar started. Despite being the instigator, Rockstar repeatedly admonished Kaycee for her use of profanity.
  • Large Ham: Rockstar is a bombastic, outspoken and passionate person who can be over the top. Tyler has said that Angie can sometimes be too over the top and obnoxious for his liking because of how outspoken and opinionated she is. Her Diary Room sessions are very over dramatic and exaggerated.
  • The Load: Rockstar takes on this role within her alliance. Rockstar does not contribute significantly to the alliance. Her contributions to the alliance in terms of competitions, social game, and strategy are minimal or nonexistent. Among the Hive members (Bayleigh, Haleigh, Scottie, and Fessy), one could argue that she was the least effective. Each member of the alliance has won at least one competition, which enhances the overall security of the alliance. Rockstar was being used as a placeholder for the nomination block.
  • Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Rockstar enjoys being lively, energetic, and highly visible. Despite occasional displays of negativity, she radiates a vibrant energy and has a strong enthusiasm for embracing life to its fullest. She also motivates others to do the same. Unfortunately, she was unable to apply that philosophy to the game.
  • The Millstone: Rockstar has become the target of mockery within the house, with Brett and several other members of Level Six teasing her by calling her "Blockstar" due to her frequent appearances on the eviction block. She is considered the least effective person in the entire house, consistently failing to win any competition. The only reason she felt safe was because her alliance members were compensating for her by winning the Head of Household and Veto competitions. Ultimately, she would benefit from the support of her allies, who were also strong competitors, ensuring her safety. The only positive aspect of her game is that she is not a floater and is part of an alliance, although the alliance is considered dumb and useless.
  • Motor Mouth: Rockstar talks a lot. And once she gets going, she can't stop. She especially gets her mouth running whenever she's passionate or seated about something. Plus, it helps that she's quite the conversationalist.
  • The Narcissist: Rockstar thinks very highly of herself and thinks she's better than everyone else. However, it's clear that she tries to brag about herself and puts on an air of superiority because she has major insecurity issues especially regarding the other female houseguests being much younger and prettier than she is.
  • Neo-Paganism: She's apparently a pagan witch.
  • Nice Guys Finish Last: This painfully addressed when Rockstar is upset people like Brett always win the game. The interesting thing is she's not that nice of a person so she lacks self-awareness.
  • Non Conformist Dyed Hair: Rockstar exhibits rebellious and assertive traits. She identifies as a feminist, advocates for social justice, strongly supports minorities and the LGBTQ community, holds liberal beliefs, and apparently practices Pagan witchcraft. Her assertive disposition is complemented by her choice to dye her hair a striking shade of hot pink. The unique hair color of Rockstar reflects her individuality and distinguishes her from the other houseguests, much like Frankie Grande from Big Brother 16.
  • One-Steve Limit: Subverted. She has the same first name as Angela, and so is known by her nickname "Rockstar."
  • The Pigpen: Rockstar apparently doesn't shower all that often. She's also seen chewing off her toenails with her teeth and commenting she needs a pedicure, and she was also seen on the live feeds picking her butt and not washing her hands afterwards. She also smokes, walks around with no footwear, and loudly chugs a water bottle over the feeds.
  • Plucky Comic Reief: She's definitely treated as a Joke Character, especially during her DR sessions. Much of her being the butt of jokes has to do with the fact that she is so bad at the game and her Diary Room sessions are so dramatic and over the top.
  • Prefers Going Barefoot: Rockstar is seldom observed wearing footwear indoors. The only instance in which Rockstar can be observed wearing shoes indoors is during live eviction shows or competitions. The absence of footwear or socks on Rockstar's feet, leaving them exposed to the unclean ground, is unhygienic.
  • Real Women Have Curves: Rockstar is often considered the most curvaceous and full-figured woman of the season. The other female houseguests can be categorized as either slim or of normal weight, such as Rachel, Bayleigh, Haleigh, and Kaitlyn. Additionally, there are those who possess an athletically toned or muscular physique, like Angela and Kaycee. Sam is the only slightly husky houseguest.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Shreds into Brett for throwing her under the bus on her daughter's birthday, repeatedly calling him "disgusting".
  • The Resenter: Scottie warns everybody, particularly Brett, that Rockstar is likely to be the one juror with an axe to grind with Level Six. Rockstar is also ticked at Brett for insulting her in his goodbye message and making her cry.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: Normally, Rockstar looks frumpy and matronly. But when she dressed up, does her hair, wears makeup and dresses up, she looks like a completely different person. Some people are shocked at how different Rockstar looks when she actually fixes herself up.
  • The Snark Knight: Rockstar consistently communicates with a snarky, biting, and sarcastic tone. She's so sarcastic that it could be her middle name. Due to her consistently snarky demeanor, she perpetually conveys a sense of bitterness and annoyance towards various matters. Her sarcastic tone is a huge part of her humor, especially during her Diary Room sessions.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Rockstar is a member of the Sacred 6, FOUTTE, and The Hive alliances. However, it appears that she is not well-liked by most of her own alliance, except for Haleigh. Bayleigh consistently belittles and mistreats Rockstar, Scottie rarely spends time with her, and Faysal is closer to Haleigh than he is to Rockstar. Haleigh is the only one who gives Rockstar any kind of attention, although even she has expressed annoyance with her at times.
  • Smarter Than You Look: Rockstar quickly surmised that it was Scottie who had flipped his vote and was acting like an evil genius.
  • Straw Feminist: Downplayed. Rockstar is a feminist who supports women but is not anti-men. She considered forming an all-girls alliance to eliminate the male houseguests, particularly the athletic guys like Winston and Brett who were part of the opposing alliance. However, she ultimately decided against it. She is passionate about women supporting each other, as many of her closest allies are women. However, she is also willing to collaborate with men. She is a member of F.O.U.T.T.E (Five Of Us Till The End), which includes two male members: Swaggy C, the leader of the alliance, and Faysal, who is second in command to Swaggy C.
  • Tattoo as Character Type: Rockstar has numerous tattoos all over her body. Her numerous tattoos fit her over the top, wild and off beat personality.
  • Team Mom: She's the only female houseguest who is a mother or has children this season. She's also the eldest female houseguest so she's bound to have either a older sister instinct or motherly instinct towards the younger houseguests.
  • This Is Unforgivable!: Got into a HUGE blowup live right after Winston was evicted, the first intensely heated one of the season, when she unloaded her grievances on Brett for using his final speech before the eviction votes were cast to portray her as a liar and the person who flipped the vote last week to get Swaggy evicted, both of which were clearly wrong. What made her so upset was one of her daughters was celebrating her birthday at home that night and had likely watched her mom on TV, and Brett just spoiled everything by being a dick.
  • Tragic Mistake: Rockstar's slip of the tongue in the OTEV competition cost her the entire game.

HOH Evicted Under: ANGELA (in Week 9).
'''Voted For: KAYCEE

  • Abhorrent Admirer: Downplayed. Haleigh's attraction to Fessy is evident, although there have been instances where it appears that he is more invested in pursuing a romantic relationship with her than she is with him. Haleigh has openly expressed her attraction to both Tyler and Brett. Tyler showed no romantic interest in Haleigh. Brett engages in flirtatious behavior with Haleigh but consciously keeps his distance to avoid provoking Fessy's jealousy and anger. Brett is aware that flirting or engaging with Haleigh would make him a target of Fessy. Haleigh acknowledges in her Diary Room sessions that she is attracted to Fessy, but she is concerned about the potential consequences of pursuing a romantic relationship with him. She worries about embarrassing her parents and how it might impact her performance. Some viewers have expressed discomfort with the interactions between Haleigh and Fessy on both the live feeds and the televised show. This discomfort stems from the perception that Fessy's behavior towards Haleigh is overly focused and unsettling. Fessy appears to believe that he is a participant on The Bachelor rather than a contestant on Big Brother. Fessy's prioritization of pursuing a romantic relationship with Haleigh appears to be more important to him than focusing on the game and winning. He bears a strong resemblance to both Brendon Villegas from Big Brother 12 and 13, as well as Caleb Reynolds from Big Brother 16. He chooses to give the Final Rose to Haleigh instead of aiming for the Final 2 and winning the $500,000 prize. After the show, Haleigh and Fessy began dating. However, they eventually ended their relationship after dating for two years.
  • Action Hero: He is one of the strongest male competitors in the house, having won 2 POV competitions and an HOH competition. If he continues to improve in the game, he could become a major threat to the competition and potentially secure a spot in the final by winning multiple competitions. He excels in physical competitions, particularly the Slip and Slide endurance competition, which he won in Week 8. He became Tyler's top competitor. Tyler's superior performance in the game, surpassing that of Fessy despite both being formidable competitors, can be attributed to his exceptional social skills and strategic acumen. If Fessy had not been eliminated in Week 8, he would have likely maintained a consistent winning streak in competitions, similar to Kaycee's performance in the later stages of the game.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Even though his first name is Faysal, all of his close friends often call him "Fessy". Everyone in the Hive alliance calls him by this nickname. Rockstar has always called him "Fenessy".
  • Badass Boast: Subverted. Fessy often makes empty threats and boasts, but consistently fails to back up his claims due to his clear lack of understanding. This makes him one of the most uninformed individuals in the game. His claims about future victories and dominance in upcoming competitions lack credibility and substance. He consistently found himself on the losing side during eviction proceedings and was frequently surprised by the opposing faction in the house on a weekly basis. He consistently expressed his intention to seek revenge against JC for the loss of his numerical advantage and alliances in the game. However, he failed to fulfill this promise and was consistently outmaneuvered by his opponents.
  • Badasses Wear Bandanas: Fessy frequently wears a sporty banana and he's one of the most physical players in the house. The other physical threat who wears a bandana is Tyler. Coincidentally, Tyler and Fessy are the strongest male competitors of the season.
  • Berserk Button: Fessy becomes extremely angry when faced with any kind of disloyalty. When Kaitlyn blindsided Swaggy C by putting him on the block, Fessy became extremely angry and completely lost trust in her. He did not object to her eviction when she was nominated for elimination because he knew she was unreliable and untrustworthy. Fessy is also bothered by Haleigh's tendency to flirt with the male housemates. In Week 5, Fessy experienced intense jealousy when he observed Brett and Haleigh engaging in lengthy conversations on the hammock at night. Fessy began to doubt Haleigh's true feelings for him and her loyalty in the game simply because she was socializing with Brett. Scottie consistently provokes Fessy by openly expressing his feelings for Haleigh. Fessy views Scottie as a rival for Haleigh's love. In Week 8, Fessy became upset about Scottie and Haleigh's relationship, leading him to nominate Scottie for eviction. As a result, Scottie was ultimately evicted from the house. Don't interfere with Fessy and his girlfriend! He will seek revenge.
  • Betty and Veronica: In the fourth week, a significant moment occurs when Kaitlyn (Veronica) and Haleigh (Betty), both nominated for eviction, discover Fessy's "Number 1" ally between them. At this point, he must publicly declare his preference for one of the two options. He ultimately decides to prioritize saving Haleigh over Kaitlyn by using the Veto on her. Kaitlyn, feeling inferior to Haleigh, experiences a strong sense of rejection and harshly criticizes Fessy for what she perceives as disloyalty and dishonesty. Kaitlyn claims that he is like the typical man she has encountered, who tends to make commitments but fails to follow through on them. Fessy's preference for Haleigh becomes evident when he chooses to vote out Kaitlyn instead of Rockstar. Fessy admitted that he chose Haleigh over Kaitlyn because he was more romantically attracted to Haleigh and doubted Kaitlyn's gameplay skills. Fessy's lack of trust in Kaitlyn stems from her decision to vote against Steve in the first week and then betray his ally, Swaggy C, by backdooring him in the second week. Fessy believes that Haleigh is a more reliable and consistent ally in the game than Kaitlyn. This perception influenced Fessy's preference for Haleigh, the "Betty," over Kaitlyn, the "Veronica."
  • Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple: Haleigh and Fessy (Fayleigh) are the Bickering Couple to Tyler and Angela's (Tangela) Peaceful Couple. Both couples are the primary showmances that advance far in the season. While Haleigh and Fessy are frequently seen arguing and constantly at odds, Tyler and Angela consistently work together harmoniously and share the same perspective. Haleigh and Fessy have incompatible personalities when it comes to the game and their relationship in the house. Haleigh's game decisions are characterized by strategy and logic, whereas Fessy's decisions are driven by emotions. This leads to frequent arguments between Fessy and Haleigh regarding their game choices. In terms of their relationship, Fessy is more assertive in his pursuit of a romantic connection within the house. Haleigh, on the other hand, is more cautious about fully committing to Fessy due to concerns that it could divert her attention and negatively impact her game. This is another reason why Fessy and Haleigh argue so much. Tyler and Angela are the antithesis of Fessy and Haleigh. They are in agreement regarding game-related decisions and the status of their relationship in the house. They always agree with each other when it comes to the game. Tyler and Angela's game decisions run smoothly because they both rely on logic and strategy. Both Tyler and Angela had strong feelings for each other during their time in the house, but they decided to keep their romance hidden to avoid drawing attention. According to Tyler, Tyler and Angela rarely argue or fight because they complement each other perfectly like puzzle pieces.
  • The Big Guy: Fessy has a robust and muscular physique, resembling a "mountain," with a height of 6'5" and a weight of 240 pounds. He played college football and has since enhanced his muscular physique through consistent workouts at the gym. He is much taller than the women and men in the house. He has the ability to undermine Brett's stature. Brett may not be tall, but he has a noticeable muscular build. He fits the second type of this trope, as he is a Gentle Giant and Emotional Bruiser. Within his alliance, he plays a competitive role, but he also serves as the emotional center and acts as a mediator alongside Haleigh. Despite being tall and imposing, Fessy is one of the most laid-back members of the alliance. However, he lacks strategic thinking and practical reasoning within the game. Despite any cognitive limitations, he makes up for it with his strong competitive spirit and physical abilities.
  • Brains and Brawn:
    • The Brawn to JC's Brain. Faysal possesses remarkable physical abilities, but he may encounter difficulties in mental competitions and exhibit unpredictable behavior when JC is not around to assist in controlling his impulsive tendencies. JC views him as a puppet. JC consistently convinces Fessy to fulfill his requests, and this approach has proven successful on multiple occasions. Bayleigh stated that she plans to nominate JC. JC successfully convinced Fessy to persuade Bayleigh to reconsider her decision and select an alternative nominee, such as Scottie or Rachel. JC attempted to sway him by proposing that he nominate Brett and Scottie when Fessy was Head of Household, rather than selecting two members of Level Six for eviction. Fessy shows a tendency to trust JC's statements without questioning their truthfulness, even when they are deceptive. This is because Fessy lacks awareness of the dynamics and strategies of the game. In one of his Diary Room sessions, JC humorously admits that Fessy lacks intelligence and that he is the one strategizing for Fessy in the game.
    • The Brawn to Haleigh's Brain. Haleigh assumes the responsibility of making strategic decisions for Fessy due to his consistent lack of attentiveness to the game and tendency to act overly confident. He often makes moves without fully comprehending the dynamics of the house. Haleigh demonstrates exceptional insight into the motivations and actions of her fellow houseguests, displaying a keen awareness of the dynamics within the game. Haleigh's superior intelligence compared to Fessy in the game became evident during Week 8 when Fessy held the position of Head of Household. Fessy planned to nominate Scottie for eviction, despite being part of their alliance. Fessy's decision was motivated by insecurity, jealousy, and emotion, rather than strategic thinking. Haleigh and Fessy had a disagreement about Scottie's nomination, and Haleigh became frustrated with Fessy's lack of strategic understanding in the game. Haleigh recognized the strategic importance of numbers in the game and understood that eliminating Scottie would be a detrimental decision. Fessy exhibited stubbornness and a lack of willingness to comprehend Haleigh's point of view. Fessy's emotional state compromised his judgment, negatively impacting both his own gameplay and Haleigh's gameplay. Once Scottie was evicted, Fessy and Haleigh became the next targets for the remaining houseguests.
  • Brainless Beauty: Faysal is physically attractive but lacks intellectual abilities. Faysal frequently demonstrates a lack of comprehension and remains oblivious to ongoing events in the game for extended periods of time. Faysal depends on others to stay informed about events in the house or the game due to his limited understanding in this area. JC criticizes Fessy for what he perceives as a lack of intelligence and strategic thinking, asserting that he is the one who brings the cognitive abilities to their partnership.
  • Bruiser with a Soft Center: Fessy is The Big Guy and has an impressive physique that resembles a towering mountain or a solid brick structure. Fessy has a highly sensitive personality. He exhibits a tender and affectionate demeanor, prioritizing matters of the heart and the pursuit of love within the show, rather than focusing on the strategic aspects of Big Brother, such as deception and manipulation. Despite his intimidating appearance, it is important to note that his threats are merely empty words. He is actually a gentle and kind-hearted person. When Bayleigh was evicted in Week 6, Fessy displayed intense emotional distress. He weeped excessively as he had to vote against Bayleigh to align with the majority of the house.
  • Disappointed in You: Faysal's lack of a hug when Kaitlyn started confessing hinted at his awareness of her dishonesty. He lost trust in her when she betrayed the alliance by voting against Steve and nominating Swaggy C as a backdoor option. Kaitlyn tried to explain why she nominated Swaggy, but Fessy wasn't interested in hearing her reasons because he had already lost all trust and confidence in her. He openly expressed his disappointment in Kaitlyn's disloyalty while she was crying to him. This is why he decided to use the Veto on Haleigh instead of her. He informed Kaitlyn that although he no longer had trust in her, she remained his friend. He was disappointed by her actions towards their alliance.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: He is constantly preoccupied with his feelings for Haleigh. Every game move, or lack thereof, has been influenced by his feelings for Haleigh. It is clear that he lacks focus and motivation to reach the Final 2 and win the prize money. Fessy consistently prioritizes love over money, as evidenced by his actions. Fessy pays the most attention to Haleigh's input among everyone in the house because he is strongly infatuated with her. Additionally, Haleigh's physical appearance, as a pretty blonde-haired girl, may also contribute to his interest in her. Fessy's decision to nominate Scottie and evict him appeared to be motivated by his desire to have Haleigh all to himself. Fessy seems to be confused about the reality show he is participating in. He mistakenly believes he is participating in The Bachelor, when in reality he is actually on Big Brother.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: Fessy was immediately drawn to Haleigh at the beginning of the game. He expressed his attraction during the first episode when the houseguests were introduced to each other for the first time. He was smitten with her from the moment they met. Haleigh, similarly, confessed that her initial impression of Fessy was that he was tall, dark, and handsome. However, she expressed hesitation about getting involved with him in the game. Despite Haleigh acknowledging that Fessy is attractive, she didn't give him much attention and showed more interest in Tyler and Brett during the initial weeks. Haleigh eventually develops romantic feelings or interest in Fessy. Haleigh appears to visibly brighten up when Tyler and Brett are around however, more so than when Fessy is present. Fans have taken notice of this. After the show, Haleigh and Fessy date for two years before breaking up.
  • Dumb Jock: Fessy is an athlete who used to play college football. He was a player for the Tennessee Chattanooga Mocs football team. Despite his athletic and competitive prowess, he is lacking in intelligence and critical thinking skills. He is completely inept when it comes to strategy and has no understanding of the game. His other allies, such as Scottie, Haleigh, and JC, end up shouldering the strategic burden for Fessy because he lacks the necessary game sense and common sense to make advantageous moves for his own game. He is constantly caught off guard week after week by the opposing faction of the house because he lacks game intelligence. Fessy can be categorized as a Ditzy Genius, excelling in athletic and competitive capabilities but lacking in strategic thinking and other important areas.
  • Dumb Muscle: Fessy has a strong and muscular physique, but his intellectual acuity may not be his greatest strength. He lacks understanding of the ongoing events in the game for a significant portion of the duration. Fessy frequently encounters unforeseen obstacles on a weekly basis and struggles to understand the reasons behind the recurring challenges faced by himself and his alliance. He shows commendable proficiency in competitive aspects, but his strategic abilities are noticeably lacking.
  • Failure Knight: Fessy has been devoted to Haleigh to the detriment of his game decisions. Many of his in-game decisions are influenced by his feelings for Haleigh. He hasn't even known her for that long yet he was already professing his love for her. His infatuation for Haleigh was blinding him from seeing the dynamics of the house and understanding what was going on in the game. When Haleigh was facing eviction during the fourth week, Fessy won the Veto and had to choose between saving Haleigh or Kaitlyn from the block. Fessy chose to save Haleigh over Kaityn without hesitation, hoping that this act would win her affection and demonstrate his unwavering commitment to her. Unfortunately, his poor game decisions have created numerous challenges not only for himself but also for Haleigh, the person he values and wants to protect above all others. As a result of his bad game moves, Faysal has been on the wrong side of the house on almost every single vote, has been forced to vote out his own allies and has made himself and Haleigh, the girl he proclaims to love, huge targets.
  • Fool for Love: Haleigh's influence can be attributed to Fessy's poor decisions in the game. It seems that he is not making rational decisions regarding Haleigh and the game. It can be assumed that if he wasn't so distracted by his infatuation with Haleigh, he might perform better in the game. Most of his poor game decisions have been influenced by his infatuation with Haleigh. The reason he nominated Scottie, a member of his own alliance, was due to his insecurity and jealousy regarding Scottie's friendship with Haleigh. JC had repeatedly emphasized to Fessy that Scottie was strongly attracted to Haleigh. Fessy aimed to target Scottie due to this fact. Fessy's lack of strategic thinking prevented him from understanding that Big Brother is ultimately a game of numbers. He quickly realized that Hive members were being eliminated on a weekly basis, and Fessy knew he needed to gather as many allies as he could. In Week 9, the same week he becomes Head of Household, he foolishly decides to trust Tyler and Angela, the power couple who have been dominating the house since the beginning. He believes that he, Haleigh, Tyler, and Angela should form an alliance and make it to the final four together. In Week 10, Angela shocks Fessy and Haleigh by nominating them for eviction after winning the Head of Household competition. He desired to establish an alliance with another showmance and intended to stick with them until the end, unaware that he was being exploited. What a foolish individual. Fessy's infatuation with Haleigh had a negative impact on his game longevity.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Fessy experiences jealousy and paranoia when he witnesses Brett and Haleigh bonding on the hammock for four hours before the fifth eviction. He attempts to gather support to vote Brett out. Unfortunately, Brett dismisses this and considers himself to be the superior choice to Fessy. He is also very jealous of Scottie's relationship with Haleigh and sees Scottie as a threat to him. Haleigh has never shown any romantic interest in Scottie and considers him to be just a friend and ally in the game. Fessy's insecurity and jealousy are unfounded. It seems that Fessy encounters difficulties whenever she interacts or flirts with any of the guys, including Brett, Tyler, or Scottie.
  • Honor Before Reason: Fessy believes that it is more advantageous to make bold moves in the game based on his own decisions rather than relying on his allies. He believes that by gaining control of the game, he can capture the jury's attention. He also expressed his dislike for getting involved in any dirty work and making strategic decisions. He stated that he had no personal issues with Brett or Scottie and encouraged them to compete in the Veto Competition to ensure their safety. His nominations were solely based on his lack of trust in their communication skills. This perspective may appear valid, but it is a limited viewpoint from an inactive player who is unaware of a power alliance strategically targeting their side of the house.
  • Idiot Ball: Fessy consistently manages to find the ball at the most inconvenient times. He naively trusts Tyler and JC to protect him in the game, unaware that they are secretly planning to betray him at the first opportunity. Faysal naively trusts his "allies" without realizing that he is being deceived in every vote. In every vote where he is informed about the intended direction, he consistently votes in the opposite direction. Fessy sees Level Six as a peripheral threat rather than a direct one. When Fessy becomes the Head of Household (HOH) in Week 9, he decides to nominate Scottie for eviction instead of any member of Level Six. Level Six has the numbers to easily evict Scottie, as Sam and JC are voting with them, even though they are not official members of the alliance. Tyler and his followers will strategically dismantle the remaining fragments of FOUTTE or The Hive. Haleigh and Scottie are flabbergasted that Fessy chose to nominate one of his own allies. Fesys believes it is a good idea to align with the strongest duo in the house, Tyler and Angela. Tyler and Angela have been making all the strategic game decisions since the beginning, but Fessy remains completely unaware of the power they hold in the game. In what mindset would someone want to align with another power couple and go to the end, knowing that they will outmaneuver you in every imaginable way? Angela's surprise nomination of Haleigh and him for eviction in Week 10 leaves them blindsided. Fessy and Haleigh come to the realization that they were too trusting of Tyler and Angela. Zing-Bot even refers to him as a "full-time moron."
  • The Klutz: Fessy took a seat on the sink in the HOH room. Moments later, the sink broke, and he was summoned to the Diary Room by production with a strongly-worded message. Does he not realize that sitting on anything other than a solid counter is not advisable?
  • Lazy Bum: Fessy is a lazy oaf and doesn't contribute to anything. He doesn't contribute to household chores, preferring to spend his time lounging around with Haleigh. The main contributors to the house are Tyler, Sam, Angela, and even Brett. Tyler and Brett are seen preparing food for the other houseguests. Brett has been observed cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. Sam is a dedicated Neat Freak who ensures the cleanliness of the entire house. Fessy frequently receives criticism from houseguests for his laziness.
  • The Millstone: Fessy is often regarded as the least competent male player in the house. He waited until the final eight to assess the status of alliances and negotiate deals because he was too preoccupied with Haleigh to notice the Hive falling apart. He mistakenly believed that these deals would be honored and expected both himself and Haleigh to be safe by targeting a single person as the Head of Household (HOH). However, Fessy appeared to be disconnected from the other side of the house and even seemed to be helping Level Six in destroying the Hive alliance. Level Six is not only pleased to see Fessy unintentionally attacking his own alliance, but they are also relieved that he is unaware of Level Six's existence and oblivious to JC's efforts to prevent him from discovering the truth. He has difficulty forming new alliances outside of the Hive alliance. Fessy lacks social awareness and fails to realize that he cannot remain loyal to incompetent alliances in the game. He is excessively loyal to individuals who have either betrayed him or are highly incompetent, despite offering no strategic advantage. He is completely incompetent as the Head of Household. Instead of nominating two members of Level Six, such as Tyler and Angela, he chooses to put up Brett and his ally, Scottie. Fessy's nominations lacked strategic reasoning. They were based on emotions and personal feelings. Fessy chose not to nominate Brett and Scottie because he believed it was the most strategic decision for his own gameplay. He nominated them due to feelings of insecurity and jealousy. Fessy is aware that Haleigh has strong connections with both Brett and Scottie. He took advantage of his insecurity and nominated them, despite Haleigh's warning that it was a strategically unwise choice. He foolishly tries to form an alliance with the house's most dangerous power couple, Tyler and Angela. Fessy plans to create a Final 4 alliance with Haleigh, Tyler, and Angela. What was Fessy thinking when he formed an alliance with Tyler and Angela, the game's most dominant and ruthless duo? He must have anticipated that they would betray him the following week as soon as they had the opportunity. Fessy's vulnerability in the game increases after losing an ally and a number when Scottie is evicted. Fessy helped dismantle the Hive for the Level Six alliance, saving them the trouble of doing it themselves. He does not anticipate receiving a nomination once his Head of Household (HOH) reign concludes. After Fessy's reign as HOH ends, he and Haleigh become immediate targets for Level Six. Angela wins the Head of Household competition in Week 10 and surprises both of them by nominating them for eviction. Kaycee wins the Power of Veto, ensuring Fessy's eviction. Fessy is evicted unanimously. Fessy is the least intelligent houseguest of the season, ranking just above Rockstar. The level of success he achieved can be solely attributed to luck.
  • Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Fessy is aesthetically pleasing with a height of 6'5", dark hair, and eyes. Haleigh acknowledges this aspect during the premiere episode when the houseguests are being introduced.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: His name is Faysal but everyone always calls him "Fassy" or "Fessy". The prerecorded production announcer is the only voice that uses his given name.
  • Tempting Fate: Haleigh grows increasingly frustrated with Fessy in Week 7 and warns him not to make her look like an idiot, or she won't ever speak to him again in real life after he really starts to annoy her. Fessy is being very careless while this conversation goes on; he gets yapped at by production for singing and playing his music from the HOH Room headphones loud enough to be heard over the microphones. Fessy is also yapped at by the powers-that-be for mentioning production. Despite all this, Fessy assures Haleigh he's not going to make her look like an idiot. Then, Fessy sits his heavy rump down on the edge of the HOH Room sink... and the whole thing rips loose from the wall and collapses.
  • Token Minority: Fessy is a practicing Muslim. He's the only Muslim cast this season and he's also the second Muslim houseguest to have ever appeared on the US version of the show.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Him and Haleigh getting close (After flirting with Kaitlyn) spelled out Steve's doom. Oops. He's also heavily responsible for destroying the ranks of his own alliance. Double oops.
  • Values Dissonance: Faysal is Muslim, and he earned a punishment in which he had to eat a lot of ham. Technically averted, as Big Brother isn't that evil, so they gave him vegan ham.
  • Vomit Discretion Shot: Being forced to shovel outrageous amounts of ham into his system eventually takes its toll and sends Faysal to the john to barf it back up. Thankfully, none of the cameras show this up close, and footage from the overhead bathroom camera isn't used.
  • Yandere: For Haleigh. Faysal seems to have a strong infatuation with Haleigh and he's starting to become obsessive over her. Haleigh has made it clear that she's not into him romantically.

  • Abhorrent Admirer: Scottie is crazy about Haleigh but it's apparent that she is just using him and playing him. Haleigh has thrown Scottie under the bus numerous times behind his back and has had no issue with him being put on the block. Scottie, on the other hand, doesn't realize that Haleigh is just playing him and using him for game reasons because he is so easily snowed by her. Haleigh has admitted to some other people that she doesn't like Scottie as more than a friend and some of his advances and looks at her make her a little bit uncomfortable. Scottie believes that he has a chance with Haleigh once the show is over but it's obvious that Haleigh has zero romantic interest in him. Haleigh playing Scottie was what caused Sam to nominate Haleigh in Week 4 when Sam became HOH. She cited in her speech that she nominated Haleigh because she didn't like the way that Haleigh was using Scottie and leading him on. Sam felt that Haleigh was playing with Scottie's feelings and heart and that if he ever found out that Haleigh didn't really like him as more than a friend, then that could scar Scottie for life. Unfortunately, what Sam said about Haleigh not liking Scottie as more than a friend is true and other people such as Tyler and Angela frequently tried to warn Scottie that Haleigh was playing him. Unfortunately, Scottie never got the message because he was much too infatuated with her to even notice or care about the truth regarding Haleigh.
  • Action Hero: Scottie has won a couple of competitions—1 HOH and 1 POV. He's admitted that despite being a nerd and brainy, he's also rather competitive. He could easily go on a competition winning streak and Ian or Steve his way to the Final 2.
  • Affably Evil: Scottie is good at keeping up friendly appearances and despite his occasional social awkwardness, he pretty much gets along with the majority of the other houseguests and isn't that much of a loner by any means. However, Scottie has proven himself to be one of the sneakiest and most scheming players. He appears to be playing a floater and a rat type game similar to that of Andy Herron, Ian Terry and Ronnie Talbot. He can easily float to whoever is in power, pretend as if he is their friends, but when the other side gets in power, he has little issue with throwing the side not in power under the bus. Scottie has been actively able to play the middle because his social games been decent and solid, but many people are starting to see his game and are onto his game strategy of floating. Scottie appears to be good and loyal, but he's such a flip flopper and can easily backstab someone. Look what Scottie did in the case of voting out Swaggy C, one of his closest allies. In Week 2, he voted out Swaggy C while wearing a Swaggy C T-shirt' and he did it with a smile on his face. Scottie is ruthless.
  • Alliterative Name: Scottie Salton. His first and his last name begin with the same letter which is S.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: Scottie was often shunned by the other houseguests due to his quirky and awkward nature. He had a few friends in the house who genuinely liked him, including Haleigh, Tyler, Sam, Angela, Bayleigh, Rockstar, and Steve. However, even his allies questioned his trustworthiness and considered him to be shady in the game. As the game progressed, even Fessy and Haleigh, who were once close to him, lost trust in him. This was due to his involvement in questionable game moves and the hinky vote he had casted against Swaggy C in Week 2.
  • The Aloner: Scottie is a mildly anti-social person and does his own thing from time to time. When Scottie realizes that his time in the house is all but done after he doesn't win the Veto in Week 9, he goes off to sit in the backyard hammock all by himself, which makes Angela and Kaycee pity him. Scottie also keeps to himself aside from a few vain deals to survive, and then begins to talk aloud all his thoughts as he slowly becomes focused on just packing up to go to the Jury House.
  • Ascended Fanboy: Scottie is an admitted superfan of Big Brother. It's uncertain whether or not he's a superfan like Tyler is. But he seems to have a very good understanding of the game. Too bad that he couldn't use his knowledge about Big Brother to play a better game while he was still in the house. It might have benefited his game much more if he used his status as a fan of the show to go farther.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Scottie's attention can dart all over the place when he's excited. It took him several minutes to notice the table in the kitchen had been replaced with the smaller final eight-sized seater and he ran around it like a goofball.
  • Backstabbing the Alpha Bitch: A male version. In Week 2, Scottie ruthless decided to vote out Swaggy C, who was in his alliance and one of his closest allies in the game, while wearing a Swaggy C T-Shirt. He did it so ruthlessly and shamelessly that his voting out Swaggy C and calling him by the his actual name of Christopher insight gasps from the live show audience. It was clear that Scottie had enough of Swaggy and his antics.
  • Backstab Backfire: YEESH. Scottie's eviction was pitiful. Fessy nominated him purely because he didn't have enough of an understanding with Scottie to trust Scottie with his game, but Level Six used this as their chance to throw shade on him some more. Level Six also hatched a plan to blame Rockstar's sympathy vote on Scottie via Brett and Scottie was feeling so comfortable prior to nominations that he didn't think he needed to defend his name. Scottie only compounded this after Brett won the Veto and Scottie didn't actively try to keep his name clean. When he had a chance to campaign to his allies to save him, he went after the only allies he had left. Scottie tried to throw Haleigh under the bus and the bus came back and rolled over him. Haleigh broke down crying because she had done nothing but speak positive about him and was upset by his treachery. He got blasted extra hard for this by Fessy, who had no reason to trust the guy who turned on his showmance. It ultimately led to Scottie carrying the first unanimous eviction vote of the summer, with not a single pity vote or even a rogue vote to speak of.
  • Badass Adorable: Scottie may be a nerd but he describes himself as athletic as well. If he stays in the game for a long period of time, he could be the second coming of Ian Terry. In Week 3, he came in clutch by winning both an HOH and Veto competition, both of which he needed to make sure that his intended targets (Brett and Winston) stayed on the bock and ensured that one of them went home that week.
  • Bash Brothers: Scottie has relationships with Steve, Swaggy C, Tyler, and Brett. Steve was Scottie's closest ally in the game. He was evicted in Week 1 and has felt as if he was by himself in the game ever since. He aligned himself with Swaggy C, but Scottie became disillusioned with Swaggy's behavior and voted against him in Week 2. From Week 3 onwards, Tyler became Scottie's new ally. Scottie expressed his deep personal love for Tyler. It is expected that Scottie and Tyler would get along well since they are both enthusiastic fans of the show, although Scottie is unaware of Tyler's superfan status. Scottie and Brett make a hilarious pair. Brett consistently brings laughter to Scottie's life, as they engage in playful banter and share lighthearted jokes with each other. They also have a significant number of Ho Yay moments.
  • Batman Gambit: Wore one of Swaggy C's shirts to eviction night #2 specifically to repel suspicion that he was the one who flipped the vote to evict Swaggy himself.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Scottie is a nice, humble and decent guy despite his occasional social awkwardness. However, he is pretty cunning and ruthless in the game. He can easily turn on people and he wouldn't feel bad about it. He shamelessly voted out Swaggy C while he was wearing his t shirt and also called him by his name Christopher. He's definitely not to be trusted.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Came off as a socially awkward, innocent nerd at the start, but has revealed a not so pleasant side to his personality. He's much more Affably Evil — he's good at pretending to be someone's friend but will willingly betty and backstab someone if it benefits him.
  • Butt-Monkey: The entire house lacks trust in Scottie and doubts his reliability as an ally in the game. They believe he is untrustworthy and not someone they can collaborate with in the game. Whenever something unusual occurs in the game, all the houseguests suspect Scottie's involvement. Whenever blindsides occur during the live vote and evictions, the houseguests often blame Scottie and make him the scapegoat. Scottie has consistently been falsely accused of various actions, including casting suspicious votes during live evictions and being labeled as the Hacker. Rockstar has repeatedly commented that she never trusted Scottie and thinks that he is an evil mastermind who is responsible for causing all the discord and chaos in the house. In reality, it's actually JC and Tyler who are responsible for all of the voting blindsides on a week to week basis. Not to mention that Scottie kept losing allies in the game, either because they were evicted or because they turned on him and no longer trusted him. He was also evicted from the game twice. He won the Battle Back only for him to be sent right back to Jury a week later by someone who he considered to be a friend (Tyler). Not only that but he was completely blindsided during his second eviction because Tyler and Level Six never told him he was going home. Poor Scottie. He never had any luck.
  • Cannot Talk to Women: Scottie is super awkward around Haleigh. But that could be because he really likes her and he doesn't have much experience with the opposite sex to begin with. His infatuation with her could be seen as endearing or off putting.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Scottie seriously didn't understand the meaning of loyalty to his friends and allies. When Swaggy C, one of his closest allies, is blindsided and backdoored, he chooses to wear one of Swaggy C's t-shirts when he casts his vote. While voting Swaggy out, Scottie said that he was nobody's goon (he was referencing something that Swaggy had said in his eviction speech about how his allies are a bunch of goons that are following his lead) and calls him Christopher instead of his preferred nickname of Swaggy C. He was also willing to throw Bayleigh to the wolves during her week as HOH and Angela's HOH week. He was completely fine with Bayleigh going up on the block and being backdoored blindsided, and possibly evicted. He was also okay with Rockstar leaving and had planned on going after Fessy, someone who was also in his alliance. The only person that he had some minor loyalty to was Haleigh and maybe Tyler.
  • Cloud Cuckoolander: Many of the houseguests find Scottie real offbeat, socially awkward and very quirky. It's a major reason why so many of the houseguests don't find him to be trustworthy in the game.
  • The Cutie: Scottie is extremely adorable and endearing due to his nerdy persona and his social awkwardness. Due to his social awkwardness, he makes it easy to like him and root for him.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Scottie can be very sarcastic, sharp, and biting when it comes to his sense of humor. Most of his sarcastic remarks are made during his Diary Room sessions. He displayed a snarky and sarcastic attitude when he voted out Swaggy C, referring to him by his first name Christopher and even wearing his T-Shirt.
    Scottie voting out Swaggy C: "I appreciate the flattery, but I'm nobody's goon. I vote to evict Chris."
  • Did Not Think This Through: Put the bromance of Brett and Winston up on the eviction block at the same time, and they know at least one of them will not go home and that person will target Scottie in retaliation next week. His last gasp in the house in Week 9 was also the most self-destructive next to Rockstar's, throwing away the last alliance he had left in a vain effort to get a bigger target backdoored.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Scottie, wearing a Swaggy C t-shirt, showed no remorse as he voted out Swaggy C in the Diary Room during the live eviction show. Scottie's vote against Swaggy C was harsh, as he referred to him by his real first name, Christopher, and sarcastically declared that he was not Swaggy's goon. Scottie's decision to vote out Swaggy, while wearing his shirt and addressing him by his first name, caused audible gasps from the live audience.
  • Dogged Nice Guy: Scottie had a crush on Haleigh and would frequently try to demonstrate his affection for her. Haleigh viewed Scottie only as a friend, while her romantic interest was focused on Fessy. Fessy couldn't help but feel insecure about Haleigh and Scottie's friendship.
  • Entitled Bastard: On the day prior to his impending eviction, Scottie packed up everything he could carry in his BB bag and suitcase, planning to hock loads of supplies from the house for himself. He took a drink cup, toiletries, and even a box of condoms. He even made off with a box of anti-diarrheals without understanding much about their function. A lot of Scottie's flipping on votes is also partially fueled by entitled behavior, his revenge for the blindside of Steve, his best friend in the house, and because he trusted the wrong people and "got f—ked", Scottie has no problem doing the same thing to the other players.
  • Et Tu, Brute?: Not from Swaggy C, but from veteran players who took offense to the fact Scottie was wearing one of Swaggy C's t-shirts in what was his last-ditch effort to rally votes for him to stay, then went in the Diary Room with it on and voted against him.
  • Evil Genius: Shows this side of his personality when he deliberately flips his vote to stir up dissent among the house and initiates a plan to weed out players whom the house collectively thinks are most dangerous by making it look like it was their idea to nominate them.
  • Geek Physique: Scottie is of the skinny variation. He;'s the epitome of what one would call a geek or a nerd and he definitely has the lanky build to go along with it. Surprisingly, Scottie is actually rather athletic than most other nerds and though he is very slim builded, he's not a bean pole either. He's actually got a bit of muscle though he's not as physically ripped or built like Brett, Winston, Fessy and Tyler. He's no slouch when it comes to athletics despite his lanky physical body.
  • Hopeless Suitor: Scottie was very infatuated with Haleigh but Haleigh viewed him as just a friend and she was in a relationship with Fessy. Scottie realized that he likely didn't have a chance with Haleigh because of those reasons.
  • Iconic Item: Scottie refused to be separated from his gold cross, and he got upset when production delayed in getting his bags back into the house after battle-back because they were evidently tired of it hitting his body mic and making noise and did that just to prevent that.
  • Icy Blue Eyes: Scottie has blue eyes which are very piercing in nature. But since he wears glasses all the time, his piercing and intense blue eyes aren't that noticeable.
  • Keet: Scottie can become very hyper and geeky when other players are calm.
  • The Klutz: Scottie once tried to jump over the backyard hammock and flipped himself so hard his shoes flew off. When he recovered, he joked he didn't know where he was. Tyler told him, "You're on Survivor".
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: Scottie is rather lanky and thin in physique and he's no where near as muscular and athletic as guys like Tyler, Brett, Winston and Faysal. But he's still a strong competitor none the less. Scottie has even mentioned that despite not being an athlete, he's still a physical threat.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: After he learns he made Haleigh cry, the two have a conversation in the bedrooms, where Scottie starts to tear up and explains he meant nothing against her and does care about her.
  • Nerd Glasses: His immediate trademark and signature. Scottie fits the classic nerdy archetype that is often found in Big Brother.
  • Nerds Are Virgins: Never had a girlfriend or even been kissed, by his own admission. He sprints out of the room when it looks like Rachel is about to change that.
  • Nice Guy: Definitely one of the nicest people in the house, which is saying quite a bit given most the house is fairly respectful and well-behaved. It's subverted later on when it'c reveals that he's actually more of a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. He appeared to be nice and friendly in the beginning, but he also revealed a very petty, bitter and nasty side of his personality that was very unpleasant. He acted like a Sore Loser and went out on a bitter note after being evicted for the second time but since he was somewhat blindsided, his bitterness and saltiness about his eviction may have been a bit justified.
  • No Social Skills: Scottie is incredibly socially awkward and doesn't seem too understand social cues. It makes him endearing none the less.
  • Not Good with Rejection: Scottie didn't take it so well when Tyler ended up nominating him and being responsible for his eviction. In fact, he was so angry and bitter at Tyler the he left a nasty eviction speech to both Angela and Tyler before he left. He also left the game being a bitter Sore Loser who was especially mad at Tyler and felt betrayed by him.
  • Playing Both Sides: After Scottie flips the house once, everyone believes he's going to do this for the rest of the game, and at intervals, Scottie attempts to jump between alliances and stir things up.
  • Real Men Love Jesus: Scottie wears a Christian cross necklace around his neck so it can be assumed that Scottie is religious or comes from a religious family background. However, he was never seen praying while he was in the house.
  • The Scapegoat: After flipping on Swaggy, he becomes the easiest person to blame for voting to keep Kaitlyn on the fourth eviction night (it was really JC who did that). People also find it easy to pin suspicious behavior on Scottie for going around opening doors and going around the house all weirdly like he's casing it out. By Week 9, he's become a patsy for Level Six when Fessy puts him up on the block, and Scottie himself decides to just go with the image everyone has of him and outright betray whoever he needs to so that he can stay in the house.
  • Sore Loser: After being evicted a second time, Scottie came across as someone who was bitter that he got kicked out of the game immediately. Before being evicted, Scottie decided to make a very bitter, nasty and mean spirited speech about Angela in front of the house. In his interview with Julie Chen, he acted like a slaty sore loser who couldn't accept that he just played a horrible game. He's definitely no better than Swaggy C in regards to losing. He has seemed to have mellowed out in Jury though according to recent jury segments.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Scottie becomes this to the whole house because he proves himself to be disloyal and keeps throwing people under the bus.
  • Troll: Scottie did something extra disgusting and dumped as much milk as he could on the floors of the house just to make it slippery and catch other competitors by surprise in a trap. It's something nobody else has ever done in Hide and Go Veto, it pissed off the other houseguests, and mad Sam furious. Scottie quietly cleaned up the mess and sanitized all the areas that he blanketed in milk, but in the midst of the houseguests crashing around, a lot of fabric got sullied with milk, and that meant everyone had to do a lot of laundry.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: His decision to flip a vote to save Swaggy into the deciding vote to evict him led Brett to finger Rockstar as the perpetrator at the next eviction night, who promptly went off on him after Winston was evicted.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Kaitlyn needed him for her plan to backdoor Swaggy to go up on the block with Winston as a dummy target next to him. This left Scottie feeling extremely nervous, as his best ally in the game just went home.
  • Yandere: A friendship version for Tyler. Scottie had a bit of an obsession with Tyler and desperately wanted to be his friend. He's expressed interest in working with Tyler in the game and has delusions that he's Tyler's closest friend and best friend in the house. After winning the Jury Battleback and coming back into the game, Scottie excitedly says that he wants to work with Tyler in the game. When Tyler ends up being the one to nominate him and send him home, Scottie doesn't take it very well and ends up leaving the game bitter and a Sore Loser. He's so enraged at Tyler betraying him and not having his back that he leaves a very nasty eviction speech for Angela before he leaves.

HOH Evicted Under: KAYCEE (in WEEK 11)
Voted For: TYLER

  • Abhorrent Admirer: Downplayed. Tyler perceives Haleigh as being somewhat needy and attention-seeking towards him, which is not to his liking. Tyler has shown little to no interest in Haleigh, despite her beauty. Haleigh has consistently flirted with Tyler, but he lost interest in her during Week 1 when he realized he couldn't trust her in the game. The two drifted apart when she started flirting with Fessy. When Haleigh attempts to flirt with Tyler, he finds it annoying. It appears that Tyler is not influenced by Haleigh's efforts to charm and flirt with him, unlike the other guys such as Fessy, Scottie, and Brett (who is also immune to her charms and is flirts with her for strategic reasons). Tyler's dislike for Haleigh grew stronger when he found out that she had nominated him for eviction after winning the Hacker competition in Week 6 and tried to get him evicted. Tyler likely assumed that Haleigh nominated him for both personal and strategic reasons. He may have interpreted this as Haleigh's attempt to retaliate against him for not giving her the attention she desires and for ignoring her. Tyler's feelings towards Haleigh changed from indifference to strong dislike. When Haleigh attempted to flirt with him in Week 7 and persuade him to align with her and her alliance (The Hive), Tyler appeared visibly uncomfortable and disinterested in Haleigh's advances. Haleigh openly blamed Kaitlyn for causing strain in her relationship with Tyler. She believes that Kaitlyn intentionally took Tyler away from her out of jealousy and a desire for revenge. Haleigh is also jealous of Angela because she is the one who caught Tyler's attention.
  • Action Girl: Appeared as though she wasn't that strong of a competitor but she managed to win 2 competitions back to week. In Week 6, she won the H@cker Competition and she took a big swing at Tyler by nominating him partially because she viewed him as a serious threat in the house. She went onto winning HOH in Week 7, proving that she does have some competition prowess.
  • Affably Evil: Haleigh appears as though she's the typical sweet, blonde, pretty girl next door but she's got a darker and manipulative side bubbling underneath that sweet as apple pie facade. Haleigh is friendly, approachable and personable most of the time but something says that Haleigh would be downright scary if she were to ever be crossed or betrayed. Haleigh also seems like she could be downright devious and manipulative. She's used the strategy of manipulating and flirting with all of the men in the house. In Week 6, she unexpectedly decides to put up Tyler after winning the Hacker Comp despite seemingly liking Tyler.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: Haleigh had a crush on Tyler from the start, but he did not reciprocate her feelings. Haleigh and Tyler's initial bond deteriorated due to Kaitlyn's influence and Haleigh's increasing closeness to Fessy. Tyler lost trust in Haleigh because he noticed that she used the same flirtation tactic with all the guys in the house, and he saw through it. He became immune to Haleigh's flirtations. In addition, Tyler was clearly more attracted to Angela. Haleigh still tried to charm Tyler occasionally. Interestingly, one of his real-life friends mentioned on social media that Haleigh is actually his physical type and someone he would pursue in the real world.
  • Always Second Best: Haleigh admits that she felt jealous of Kaitlyn because she garnered the attention of Tyler instead of her, Though Haleigh was successful in stealing Fessy's affections from Kaitlyn, Tyler has been immune from Haleigh's charms since getting close with Kaitlyn. Because of this, Haleigh wanted Kaitlyn out fo the house because she viewed her as a threat in that way.
  • Annoying Younger Sibling: More like Annoying Youngest Houseguest. Haleigh is the youngest houseguest of the season overall at the age of 21. Tyler is the second youngest houseguest and the youngest male houseguest of the season at age 23. Haleigh does display a lot of immaturity in her behavior and actions that manages to get on a lot of people's nerves. Kaycee, Angela, Tyler, Sam and JC have commented that Haleigh does plenty of things that annoy them but they all chalk it up to being so young and immature. Tyler is the second youngest houseguest but he comes off as way more mature than Haleigh, probably because Tyler has lived a much rougher life and has a Dark and Troubled Past with a load of personal struggles and issues.
  • Anti-Villain: Haleigh is not truly evil, and will not stand to let real friends be hurt even at the expense of her own game. Compare this to Angela, who willingly stabs people in the back and pretends to treat them like true friends.
  • Arch-Enemy: Angela becomes one for Haleigh. Most of her dislike stems from a combination of two reasons. She dislikes Angela for reasons related to the game. Angela has been a part of the side of the house (Level Six) who have targeted members of her alliance (The Hive) and have been successful in decimating their numbers on a weekly basis. Haleigh feels that Angela is very rude and mean-spirited and hasn't treated people nicely in the game. She has expressed that Angela has played a very dirty game and that she doesn't deserve to win because of how much blood she has on her hands. Not to mention that Angela double crossed her and Fessy in Week 10. Angela won Head of Household (HOH) that week and surprised everyone by nominating them both for eviction. This came after Haleigh and Fessy had tried to make a Final 4 alliance with Tyler and Angela the previous week. Secondly, Haleigh's dislike for Angela are for personal reasons, namely jealousy. Angela forms a close bond and relationship with Tyler starting in Week 6 and beyond. Haleigh openly admitted in the first week that she found Tyler attractive and she wanted to work with him. Tyler was initially attracted to Haleigh in the first week for her physical beauty, but became turned off by her after she started to become too needy and clingy. Haleigh wanted Angela out because she felt that if she was gone, Tyler would pay more attention to her and they could develop a personal and game related relationship.
  • Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Despite the distance and strain in their relationship, Haleigh clearly has a personal liking for Tyler. She seems to enjoy his company and likes having discussions with him. Haleigh has admitted that she found Tyler attractive and wanted to work with him. Fans have observed that Haleigh brightens up when she is around Tyler or when he gives her affirmation and attention. In Week 9, Sam styled and straightened Tyler's hair, impressing Haleigh with his new look. She playfully french braided Tyler's hair, and Tyler happily went along with it. The interaction between them was characterized by playful and flirtatious banter, indicating that while they may not trust each other in the game, they genuinely like each other on a personal level. Haleigh ultimately voted for Tyler to win the game at the end of the season because she believed he was the superior player and more deserving of the victory compared to Kaycee.
  • The Baby of the Bunch: She's the youngest houseguest this season at age 21. The second youngest of the season is Tyler.
  • Battle Couple: Downplayed. Haleigh and Fessy get involved in a romantic relationship during the season. Fessy is recognized as a formidable competitor, and Haleigh is also a competent competitor herself. Fessy won three competitions, including two Power of Veto (POV) competitions and one endurance Head of Household (HOH) competition. Haleigh, on the other hand, won two competitions: one Hacker competition and one Head of Household (Ho H) competition. They won a total of five competitions between the two of them. While they may not be as competitive as Angela and Tyler, they are the only other couple this season who show strength in competitions. Where they lack is in the strategic aspect, though Haleigh is definitely superior to Fessy in this regard.
  • Belligerent Sexual Tension: Haleigh and Tyler's occasional bickering and bantering often make them seem like an old married couple. They have a complex relationship in which they simultaneously love and hate each other. While they may not trust each other in the game, they have a personal liking for one another. In the game, they have targeted each other for various reasons. Haleigh has personal and game-related reasons for targeting him. Haleigh nominated Tyler as the Hacker because she perceived him as a significant threat and feels personally betrayed by him. Tyler targeted Haleigh solely for strategic purposes. He considered her untrustworthy due to her manipulative behavior with other guys, her nomination of him as the Hacker, and her tendency to target his alliance. Despite Tyler's lack of trust in her during the game, he does have a personal liking for her. Haleigh and Tyler's relationship can be described as complex.
  • Beta Bitch: She's this to Bayleigh's Alpha Bitch. Bayleigh gives Haleigh (and Rockstar) all the orders and Haleigh just tries to follow them. Since Haleigh is in the same alliance as Bayleigh, it would make sense that she has loyalty to her. Week 6 onwards, and Haleigh slowly starts to take Bayleigh's place as the Alpha Bitch of the house. Too bad that nobody really cares enough about her to take her seriously or listen to what she wants.
  • Betty and Veronica: Haleigh was the Betty to Kaitlyn's Veronica with Fessy playing Archie, the middle man in the triangle. She was caught up in a semi love triangle between herself and Kaitlyn with Fessy caught in the middle. In the first three weeks, Fessy demonstrated an interest in both Kaitlyn and Haleigh. However, he openly admitted to having romantic feelings for Haleigh and only considering Kaitlyn as a friend. Kaitlyn's jealousy over Fessy's feelings for Haleigh led her to betray Fessy and her alliance. When Sam nominated both Kaitlyn and Haleigh in Week 4, Fessy had to decide which one of them he wanted to save from eviction. Fessy won the Power of Veto and told both Kaitlyn and Haleigh that he wanted to save them. However, at the Veto meeting, Fessy chose to save the Betty (Haleigh) instead of the Veronica (Kaitlyn) by using the Power of Veto on Haleigh. As a result, Kaitlyn remained on the block and faced the possibility of eviction. Kaitlyn felt devastated when Fessy chose Haleigh over her, viewing it as a significant betrayal. Fessy chose Haleigh over Kaitlyn because he had stronger romantic feelings for her and because he found her to be more trustworthy and reliable.
  • Beauty Equals Goodness: Downplayed. Haleigh is a compassionate and generally kind person. She does have occasional moments of being catty and bitchy. She exhibits jealousy towards the other female houseguests and is known for being one of the most prolific gossipers and trash talkers in the house.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Haleigh is generally friendly and amiable, but she does have a tendency to be catty and bitchy. She not only displays traits of a mean girl but also demonstrates cleverness in the game. She realized that Tyler was a significant threat in the game and was playing both sides. Haleigh believed that she needed to utilize her anonymity as the Hacker to target a big fish.While Haleigh is generally laid back and nice, she can be sharp and should not be underestimated.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Haleigh didn't do anything but schmooze with the guys for the first few weeks of the game. Then she noticed Tyler was bouncing between alliances and got annoyed by his corruptive influence, so she personally nominated him as the first house hacker and wreaked havoc on everybody currently in an alliance, exposing him as the center of the house. She effectively took the piss right out of Level Six, who really needed to be taught a lesson, anyway after trashing Rachel. In addition, Haleigh also lost her patience with Fessy after he had an unwarranted meeting in the HOH Room without her knowing and very angrily berated him for this, wondering "What the f**k is your problem?" Fessy had been behaving erratically for several weeks and seemed to be acting out because Haleigh wasn't reciprocating his feelings for her. Haleigh had smoothed over the H@cker blunder (or so she thought; Tyler was tricking her to backdoor him so he could use the Cloud Power App). Between Fessy's suspicious behavior and throwing names out as well as the fear they might go up on the block together if mistaken for a showmance, getting back into Tyler's good graces, risking the undoing of all that hard work, and a lot of other times where she let Fessy get off easy, Haleigh finally put her foot down and warned Fessy that if he pulled another stunt like this, she would refuse to communicate with him anymore.
  • Bickering Couple, Peaceful Couple: Haleigh and Fessy (Fayleigh) are the Bickering Couple to Tyler and Angela's (Tangela) Peaceful Couple. Both couples are the primary showmances that advance far in the season. While Haleigh and Fessy are frequently seen arguing and constantly at odds, Tyler and Angela consistently work together harmoniously and share the same perspective. Haleigh and Fessy have incompatible personalities when it comes to the game and their relationship in the house. Haleigh's game decisions are characterized by strategy and logic, whereas Fessy's decisions are driven by emotions. This leads to frequent arguments between Fessy and Haleigh regarding their game choices. In terms of their relationship, Fessy is more assertive in his pursuit of a romantic connection within the house. Haleigh, on the other hand, is more cautious about fully committing to Fessy due to concerns that it could divert her attention and negatively impact her game. This is another reason why Fessy and Haleigh argue so much. Tyler and Angela are the antithesis of Fessy and Haleigh. They are in agreement regarding game-related decisions and the status of their relationship in the house. They always agree with each other when it comes to the game. Tyler and Angela's game decisions run smoothly because they both rely on logic and strategy. Both Tyler and Angela had strong feelings for each other during their time in the house, but they decided to keep their romance hidden to avoid drawing attention. According to Tyler, Tyler and Angela rarely argue or fight because they complement each other perfectly like puzzle pieces.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Haleigh has been originally thought of the sweet, Southern Belle and the Nice Girl and Girl Next Door, but in actuality, she's not so nice and she reveals a much more manipulative ruthless and bitchy side of her personality in the later weeks. Her true colors coming shining through in Week 6 when she gains a bit of power by winning the H@cker Competition. She uses her power to blindside Tyler and the other side of the house by putting him up anonymously. Bayleigh ends up taking the fall for Haleigh's actions as the Hacker which cause a serious disruption and tension in the house. Haleigh's bitchiness and cattiness becomes more evident when she wins HOH in Week 7. She targets Angela because she is jealous of her and Tyler getting closer. She has made many mean spirited and nasty comments about Angela and Kaycee behind their backs just because of their connection to Tyler and Angela backdooring Bayleigh in the previous week. Haleigh is one of the biggest trash talkers in the house along with Rockstar and they are constantly going on bash sessions about Tyler, Angela and Tangela's relationship. Every time that Haleigh bashes Angela and Tyler and their relationship, she is speaking out of pettiness and jealousy. It's clear that Haleigh had everyone fooled into thinking that she wasn't going to be another petty mean girl who was jealous a la Aaryn Gries (BB15) or Nicole Franzel (BB18), but the comparisons are definitely starting to stand.
  • Black Widow: Her strategy is to flirt and use her feminine wiles against the male houseguests. She has flirted with Brett, Fessy, Scottie, and Tyler. Tyler seems to be immune to her charms and feminine wiles, which bothers her. She has no issue with flirting with the guys and then secretly talking badly about them behind their back or plotting to get them evicted. Haleigh seemingly appears to like Tyler and even admitted on multiple occasions that she's attracted to him, but that she views him as a threat because he's a strong competitor and he's immune to her flirtations. Haleigh is clearly using Fessy as well and she doesn't seem to be into him but she knows he's a strong competitor and a strong make houseguest that can shield her and keep her safe in the game. She flirts with Scottie as well but she's also using him just as much as she is Fessy. In Week 6, Haleigh had no issue with throwing Scottie under the bus repeatedly to Angela, trying to frame him as the Hacker who put up Tyler in Scottie's place, and tried to get him backdoored and sit next to Tyler on the block. Scottie is clearly blind to Haleigh's lies and manipulations, something that Tyler has tried to warn Scottie about, but he's too snowed by her. Haleigh also flirts with Brett but for Brett, he is playing her and is using her for game 100% and has n loyalties to her whatsoever. She also wanted Brett out of the house both times that he was nominated in Week 3 and Week 6 and she had no issue with voting him out of the house. Haleigh flirts with men and then discards them if she feels they are of no use to her or if they don't fall for her flirtations.
  • The Bore: Haleigh seems like such a nice girl but she's very boring and dull especially on the feeds. She's so boring in fact that she's rarely featured on the live show and in Week 3, Haleigh was the least trending houseguest receiving a Crap App as a result of her basically being non-existent. This all changes in Week 6 when she takes a drastic move that shakes the whole house and then becomes a major sleeper threat of the season.
  • Break the Cutie: Haleigh has faced numerous challenges during her participation in the game. Every week was a challenge for her. In the first week, she is shocked when Steve is voted out instead of Sam. In the second week, Haleigh is betrayed by Kaitlyn, who was once an ally. Kaitlyn strategically evicted Swaggy C, which resulted in the permanent dissolution of Haleigh's alliance. In the third week, Haleigh's alliance member, Scottie, assumes the role of the Head of Household, providing her with a ray of hope for a potential shift in her circumstances. Once again, she is caught off guard when Winston is evicted instead of Brett, who was the intended target for Haleigh and her alliance. She faces another setback when Sam wins Head of Household (HOH) and nominates her and Kaitlyn for eviction. Not only does she find herself on the block, but she also becomes the target of a scathing speech delivered by Sam. Sam accuses Haleigh of exploiting her sexuality and disrespecting the male contestants in the house during her speech. Haleigh experiences a profound sense of embarrassment and shame, leading her to seek solace in the Diary Room where she expresses her emotions through tears in response to Sam's remarks. In Week 5, Haleigh encounters further challenges within the game. Once again, Bayleigh, her close ally, assumes a position of power as HOH, only for everything to crumble and collapse. Bayleigh exposes herself as a big target by disclosing her power app to a member of the opposing faction. Haleigh and her alliance are once again caught off guard when the majority of the house votes to evict Rachel instead of Brett. Haleigh is so confused about what is going on and she is completely at a loss. In Week 6, Haleigh wins the Hacker competition and anonymously changes the nominations, hacking Angela's head of household reign. She chooses to nominate Tyler because she sees him as a major threat. However, this decision proves to be highly detrimental for her. The nomination of Tyler has caused distress and anger among many houseguests. In addition, upon realizing that she lacked support for nominating Tyler, she made the decision to conceal her identity as the Hacker. Bayleigh, her closest companion, finds herself wrongfully accused of being the Hacker by the rest of the house, consequently making her a target. Bayleigh is subsequently backdoored by Angela due to Angela's mistaken belief that Bayleigh is the Hacker. Haleigh feels extremely guilty that her friend is taking the fall for her actions. Haleigh confesses to Bayleigh and the rest of the house that she is the Hacker in a house meeting, which puts a bigger target on her back. Bayleigh's eviction was inevitable, and this action did not improve the situation. Bayleigh is evicted and she loses another ally and friend. Following Bayleigh's eviction in Week 7, Haleigh wins head of household and finally has the opportunity to complete her mission, which is to backdoor Tyler. The execution of her plan proves unsuccessful once again. Kaycee emerges as the victor in the Hacker competition and removes herself from the nomination block. Kaycee decides to replace herself with Haleigh's other friend and close ally, Rockstar. Rockstar, being a poor player, makes significant mistakes during the POV competition, that ultimately lead to Tyler winning and foiling Haleigh's plan to backdoor him. Tyler uses the Veto to save Angela, securing Rockstar's eviction. Haleigh's worst fear becomes a reality when her ally, Rockstar, is evicted during her HOH reign. In Week 8, Fessy wins Head of Household (HOH), however, Haleigh's fortunes take a turn for the worse again. She discovers that Scottie had betrayed her and had intentions of nominating her. Haleigh felt deeply betrayed when she was the only person advocating for Scottie. Scottie's eviction results in the loss of yet another ally, leaving both her and Fessy vulnerable as the next targets for all the remaining contestants. In Week 9, Haleigh and Fessy are blindsided when Angela nominates them for eviction. This comes after Haleigh and Fessy attempted to form a final four alliance with them the previous week. Fessy is evicted after spending the entire week on the block next to him. Haleigh loses her boyfriend and she ends up being the last Hive member standing in the game. She is aware of her vulnerability as an easy target for elimination and anticipates that she will likely join Fessy in the jury next. In Week 11, Kaycee nominates Haleigh and Sam for eviction. Level Six consistently reassures Haleigh that she is safe and not the intended target, even though she is actually the target. They use this strategy with Haleigh to blindside her with the voting result. She is unanimously voted out with a vote of 4-0. After her unexpected eviction, she receives a series of petty goodbye messages. It is impressive how Haleigh remained composed despite the weekly challenges she encountered throughout the game.
  • Butt-Monkey: Haleigh had a tough time in the house. Week after week, she and her alliance are constantly caught off guard by the opposing faction in the house. She has quickly lost allies as Level Six outmaneuvered her and her alliance. She becomes involved with Fessy, whom she is somewhat interested in but initially does not seem fully committed to pursuing a relationship with. Haleigh's reluctance to pursue a relationship with Fessy stems from her belief that it would be a distraction and detrimental to her game. Additionally, she expressed concern about embarrassing her family back home, as she mentioned in the Diary Room. Haleigh found herself in a semi-love triangle with Kaitlyn and Fessy. Kaitlyn became jealous of Haleigh due to her developing a romantic relationship with Fessy. After Sam wins Head of Household in week 4, she is put on the block. Not only is she nominated, but Sam also publicly humiliates her in front of the entire house with a personal and nasty speech, criticizing her flirtatious behavior with the men in the house. Sam engaged in slut-shaming behavior towards Haleigh, which caused her to feel ashamed and have negative feelings about herself. Haleigh ended up crying in the Diary Room over Sam's comments. In Week 5, she is shocked when Rachel is eliminated instead of Brett. In Week 6, she wins the Hacker competition and uses this opportunity to make a big move by nominating Tyler, both for personal and game reasons. This plan backfires on her greatly when Tyler and Level Six shift the blame onto Bayleigh, mistakenly believing that she is the Hacker. As a result of Level Six believing Bayleigh is the Hacker, she is backdoored by Angela. Haleigh feels a strong sense of guilt as Bayleigh is wrongly accused of being the Hacker, putting Haleigh in a difficult situation. She feels if she reveals her identity as the Hacker, her game would be ruined. But she felt she couldn't sacrifice her morals and integrity and keep her secret when her friend was suffering from being framed for something she didn't do. Haleigh calls a house meeting to reveal that she is the Hacker who nominated Tyler. Haleigh becomes the main target for Level Six, which ultimately ruins her game as she attempts to clear Bayleigh's name. Her best friend Bayleigh is evicted, losing another ally and number in the house. In Week 7, Haleigh wins the Head of Household (HOH), providing her with safety and power after a difficult week. She plans to backdoor Tyler, but things don't go as expected. Haleigh nominates Angela and Kaycee as pawns (with the intent to backdoor her true target Tyler), but Kaycee unexpectedly wins the Hacker competition, granting Level Six the power to override Haleigh's Head of Household position. Kaycee removes herself from the chopping block and replaces her with Rockstar, who is another close friend of Haleigh's. Rockstar loses the Power of Veto (POV) to Tyler, who uses it to save Angela from being nominated, ensuring Rockstar's eviction. Rockstar was evicted during Haleigh's HOH reign, which she considered the worst possible outcome. Not only was her Head of Household (HOH) reign infiltrated by the Level Six alliance, leaving her with no power, but both of her closest allies were evicted consecutively in back-to-back weeks. In Week 8, she discovers that Scottie had planned to target her and nominate her for eviction. Haleigh feels deeply betrayed by Scottie and regrets trusting him as a friend and ally. In Week 9, Angela blindsides her by nominating her and Fessy together, preventing them from using the POV to save each other if either of them won. Haleigh loses Fessy when he is evicted, resulting in the loss of her showmantic partner and last ally in the game. She had lost all of her alliance members in Bayleigh, Rockstar, Scottie and Fessy ‘'four consecutive weeks in a row''. In Week 11, Kaycee nominates her and Sam. Level Six assures her that she is not the target and that she is safe next to Sam. In Level Six, she is caught off guard when she is unanimously evicted in a 4-0 vote. The eviction of Haleigh, the last member of the Hive, officially marks the extermination of the alliance by Level Six. Poor sweet Haleigh. She has had a rough ride in the house.
  • Companion Cube: Haleigh is the one who is closest to Orwell this season, seldom letting the owl leave her sight. She was seen holding Orwell the Owl on Day One, who is now a mascot of the series. She also showed distress when Fessy threw him onto the HOH Room bed carelessly.
  • Cowardly Lion: Haleigh wins the Hacker competition and infiltrates Angela's reign as Head of Household. She makes a bold move by anonymously putting Tyler on the block, which surprises and upsets everyone in the house. After Bayleigh is falsely accused of being the Hacker and is backdoored as a result, Haleigh is initially hesitant to disclose her true identity as the Hacker to avoid jeopardizing her game and becoming a target. Haleigh admits to Bayleigh that she is the hacker. She decides to call a house meeting and confess to everyone that she was the Hacker who nominated Tyler. Despite her initial hesitation and fear of the consequences, she ultimately decided to be courageous and take responsibility by clearing Bayleigh's name by telling the truth.
  • Deadpan Snarker: After Angela campaigned to make Sam a nominee while Haleigh was HOH when Angela was an obvious target, Haleigh later commented in the DR that she was thankful for the advice and strongly considered putting Sam up next to Angela on the chopping block.
  • Decoy Damsel: Haleigh originally looked like she was going to be some sweet, innocent, Girl Next Door and Nice Girl type. But as the weeks passed on, Haleigh slowly started to reveal her true colors and her true intentions. She's actually a lot more ruthless, cunning and manipulative than she appears. Not to mention that she is also very petty, catty and bitchy as well and is pretty much a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing at this point.
  • Despair Event Horizon: Coasts right over it when Level Six targets Fessy and herself. Then, her attempts to protect them in the game fail and they can only wait to be evicted, because Level Six won't be offering them a way out. Haleigh is mentally exhausted after running out of chances to stay in the house and wanting the losing streak to stop.
  • Dirty Coward: Downplayed. In Week 6, Haleigh won the Hacker competition and nominated Tyler for eviction, causing a stir among the houseguests. Instead of revealing her identity as the Hacker to her trusted allies, she decided to keep it hidden. Bayleigh is falsely accused of being the Hacker who nominated Tyler. She initially allows Bayleigh to take the blame for the move because Haleigh prioritizes her own game and is willing to sacrifice her friendship with Bayleigh. Haleigh eventually confesses to Bayleigh and the entire house that she was the Hacker. She was initially a coward about the situation, but she ultimately did the right thing by standing up for her friend and clearing her name. However, Haleigh's failure to confess to Bayleigh that she was the Hacker, while Bayleigh took all the blame, and Haleigh blatantly lying to her face, was a scumbag move on her part.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Haleigh flirts with pretty much all of the guys in the house such as Fessy, Brett, Scottie and Tyler. But she has openly admitted that she has a crush on Tyler and he's her type outside of the house. Haleigh said that Tyler is very attractive and cute and that she wished that he liked her in the game. In Week 6 on the live feeds, Haleigh admits to Bayleigh that she has had vivid sexual dreams and fantasies about Tyler.
  • Dogged Nice Girl: She was initially interested in Tyler during Week 1 because she found him attractive and wanted to work with him in the game. Unfortunately, he was not interested in her at all and found her really needy and clingy. Haleigh grew jealous of Kaitlyn and desired her evicted from the house, believing that Kaitlyn was exploiting and manipulating Tyler (and Fessy).She believed that without Kaitlyn around, Tyler would no longer be preoccupied with her. In Week 6, Haleigh nominatesTyler for both personal and strategic reasons. She targeted him not only because she felt that he was a huge threat, but because she felt neglected and ignored by him. Angela would also become a target for Haleigh due to her developing relationship with Tyler. Haleigh consistently attempted to flirt with Tyler and expressed a desire to collaborate with him. However, Tyler had already developed feelings for Angela and had no interest in working with Haleigh. Tyler was not swayed by Haleigh's feminine charm because he saw through her.
  • Driven by Envy: Haleigh admits that one of the reasons why she targeted Angela was because she was jealous of her relationship with Tyler. She felt that if Angela were gone, then she would be able to work with Tyler and rebuild her relationship with him.
  • Dude Magnet: Haleigh, an attractive young woman, has caught the attention of several male houseguests, including Tyler, Fessy, Brett, Scottie, and Winston. They have all praised Haleigh for her physical attractiveness. Only Fessy, Brett, and Scottie actively pursue or flirt with her. Tyler is completely immune to her allure, much to Haleigh's annoyance.
  • Dumb Blonde: Subverted. Based on Haleigh's physical appearance, one might assume that she is unintelligent and shallow, fitting the stereotype of The Ditz and Brainless Beauty. While she's not the strongest and most strategic player in the house and many of her reads on the houseguests and the dynamics are inaccurate, there are instances where she can be rather clever and sharp in the game. She caught onto Tyler strategy of him playing both sides and riding the middle. She saw that he was a threat and chose to make a big move by nominating him as the Hacker. Haleigh may be blonde, but she is also intelligent and quick-witted.
  • Easily Forgiven: When Haleigh tells the truth to Bayleigh about being the H@cker, Bayleigh doesn't yell at her at all. She immediately pulls Haleigh in for a big hug, and Haleigh justs melts into tears, and both of them have a long cry together.
  • Empty Shell: By the time of her eviction, her alliance is gone, she can't win any challenges, and she's officially given up all hope, now just begging to be sent home.
  • Everyone Loves Blondes: Haleigh is a pretty young woman with long blonde hair, rendering her one of the most aesthetically appealing female houseguests. She possesses a high level of physical attractiveness and exerts a strong appeal on a significant number of male houseguests, specifically Fessy, Brett, and Scottie.
  • Everything is Big in Texas: Subverted. Haleigh is from Texas but she’s one of the smallest female houseguests in the house. The only other houseguest that is as petite as her is Kaitlyn.
  • Farmer's Daughter: In her introduction, Haleigh was portrayed as a Southern farm girl from Texas. She was observed lying on the roof of a barn and operating a tractor. This emulates the intro that Nicole Franzel had in Big Brother 16. Interestingly enough, Haleigh and Nicole have many similarities in regards to their personalities and their gameplay styles and strategies.
  • Femme Fatale: Haleigh is highly flirtatious and constantly uses her sexuality and her feminine charms to try and persuade the guys to do what she wants. She's not successful on all the guys in the house such as Brett, Tyler or JC. Her feminine wiles and her flirtations only work on weaker willed men such as Fessy and Scottie both of whom are enamoured by her. In Week 4, Sam called Haleigh out in front of everyone for using her sexuality as a game strategy while she nominated her and Kaitlyn. Sam conveyed to Haleigh that she believes Haleigh relies solely on her sexuality to advance her position in the game. She believes that Haleigh lacks respect for the men in the house because she believes Haleigh is manipulating and using them to advance her position in the house. Sam disagrees with Haleigh's game tactics, considering them unethical and contrary to female empowerment. Haleigh was visibly upset and rattled by Sam calling her a "slut" basically, but she uses the excuse that she's an affectionate girl.
  • Genki Girl: Haleigh has a very spirited, lively personality. She exhibits a high level of energy during her Diary Room sessions. Her exuberant demeanor becomes apparent during the live eviction episodes as she fervently expresses admiration for Julie Chen by complimenting her when she casts her vote to evict a contestant.
  • Girly Girl: Haleigh, along with Bayleigh and Rachel, is considered to be one of the more girly and feminine women in the house.Other female houseguests, including Rockstar, Sam, Kaycee, and even Angela, exhibit more tomboyish or athletic personalities.
  • Girl Next Door: Haleigh embodies the feminine and girly qualities of a wholesome Southern girl from Texas. She has a friendly, congenial and approachable personality, allowing her to build positive relationships with others on a personal level. She has a good rapport with everyone in the house and is popular amongst her alliance members. She personifies the quintessential All-American girl archetype. Haleigh is essentially the female counterpart to Tyler, with him embodying the Boy Next Door archetype.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Haleigh tried to make someone else seem like the hacker by nominating Tyler (since nobody else wanted to do it), then named Kaycee to participate in the veto (which made people even more confused), and keeping her mouth shut. Unfortunately, it made Angela target Bayleigh.
  • Good Angel, Bad Angel: The editors portray her state of mind as this during one of her Diary Room sessions when she's musing how to handle her budding feelings toward Faysal, with the bad Haleigh wanting to pursue them because she's single while the good Haleigh wants to preserve her game.
  • Good is Not Nice: Haleigh is generally friendly and approachable, embodying the classic archetype of the Girl Next Door. However, she displays catty behavior, engages in gossip, and exhibits mean-spirited tendencies. She, along with Bayleigh and Rockstar, is known for her strong tendency to gossip, making her one of the most active trash talkers in the house. She harbors a considerable amount of jealousy towards certain female houseguests, specifically Kaitlyn and Angela, due to their connection with Tyler. Her motivations for targeting Tyler are primarily driven by personal factors rather than strategic gameplay considerations. She is particularly unhappy with his lack of attention towards her and his failure to cater to her ego.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Haleigh has shown jealousy towards certain women in the house. She has confessed to feeling jealous, especially towards Kaitlyn and Angela. She may feel jealous of them due to her competitive nature regarding the fact that they are both attractive and fashionable women. However, she also feels jealous of them because they both had a close relationship with Tyler. Haleigh liked Tyler and desired to work with him in the game. Haleigh felt jealous as Angela and Kaitlyn were able to capture Tyler's attention, while she had consistently failed to do so.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Haleigh is blonde-haired and she is friendly, affable and has a kind personality. Despite her generally pleasant and friendly demeanor, she has occasionally displayed catty and unpleasant qualities and behaviour. She has a tendency to gossip and be competitive with other women. She occasionally succumbs to feelings of jealousy and envy.
  • Has a Type: Haleigh confessed on the live feeds that she is attracted to a specific type of guy, often described as "lanky skater boy" types. Which contestant from this season fits that archetype or description the most? Can you say TYLER?
  • He Is Not My Boyfriend: Denies being in a showmance with Fessy because she came to the house play and didn't come to the house to deal with that kind of drama seen with showmances.
  • Honey Trap: Constantly tries to pull this on many of the guys but it doesn't work on a lot of them.She tried to pull this on Brett a few times by trying to get him to vote on her side of the house. Unfortunately, Haleigh is completely unaware and clueless that Brett is a double agent for Level Six and is just using Haleigh to gather info to spill to his true alliance. Haleigh has tried to use her sexuality and flirting on Tyler, but he's completely immune to her charms and flirtations and this frustrates Haleigh. In Week 7, Haleigh and Rockstar tried to persuade Tyler house the Veto on Rockstar and to join their side of the house, thinking that he is a free agent and doesn't have any solid alliances or allies other than Angela. Haleigh tried to flirt with Tyler and she was drunk as well, but Haleigh didn't;t achieve her goal since Tyler had no intention of keeping any promises to Haleigh or Rockstar. She tries to manipulate both Scottie and Fessy into doing what she wants and getting out the people that she wants out. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Haleigh is The Tease and when she wants something, there's no stopping her from pulling out all the stops or making physical and sexual passes at guys to get it.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: Haleigh's blue eyes are intense and piercing, but the way she gazes softens their appearance, creating a calming effect.
  • Intergenerational Friendship: With Rockstar. Rockstar is much older than Haleigh, being 14 years her senior. Rockstar assumes the roles of Cool Big Sis and Team Mom for Haleigh and the other members of the Hive alliance. The significant age gap between them and their close bond make their friendship unique and an Odd Friendship.
  • Just Friends: Haleigh has a relationship with Scottie. Scottie has admitted that he likes Haleigh as more than a friend. Haleigh, on the other hand, doesn't have romantic interest him and only views him as just a friend. Scottie was jealous of Haleigh's relationship with Fessy and as a result, he thought about targeting her in the future.
  • Kiss-Kiss-Slap: Haleigh has a romantic relationship with Fessy in the house and shares cuddles and kisses with him, but Fessy constantly pisses her off with little things and not trusting her enough not to question her or leave her be. The live feeds are absolutely rife with their petty squabbles and bickering.
  • Knight Templar: Revealed herself as the most dastardly player from the shadows in Week 6 by making a move so extreme it took the whole house by surprise— directly targeting the mastermind of the house in secret. This, after nobody dared go after him or even seemed to know how dangerous he really was. Some have actually likened its shocking impact to Dan's funeral in BB 14 used to spare himself from eviction and turn the heat on Britney, which is often considered the biggest blindside and overthrow of power in a single season of the US run.
  • Last of Her Kind: Haleigh was the sole remaining member of the Hive alliance in the game, as Bayleigh, Rockstar, Fessy, and Scottie were all evicted before her. She was evicted in Week 11, and the Level Six alliance successfully exterminated the Hive from the game.
  • Manipulative Bitch: Haleigh is a lot more cunning, deceitful and manipulative than she appears. She's using her sexuality and feminine wiles to try and manipulate the guys in the house into doing what she wants and she seems to be ripping a page out of the Nicole Franzel strategy handbook. She thinks that she has got Brett, Scottie, Fessy and Tyler all wrapped around her dainty little finger. but what she doesn't realize is that Brett is actually playing her hardcore for game related reasons (yet she still thinks that Brett is on her side and is her friend) and Tyler is completely immune to Haleigh's charms since Week 1 when he realized that he couldn't trust her. Haleigh is manipulative and coy but her strategy isn't successful with all of the guys.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Haleigh is an attractive young woman and she shows off a lot of her body by wearing skimpy clothing and bathing suits. She's incredibly flirtatious amd likes to resort to using her sexuality to lure in the guys.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Haleigh is broken by the events of Week 6 as the H@cker that go totally topsy-turvy on her. Haleigh couldn't stop crying after seeing Bayleigh suffering because of the move she made, because it personally hurt Haleigh to see a real friend in so much pain and claiming that whoever did this to her was evil. Haleigh eventually did the right thing and outed herself as the H@cker, first to Bayleigh, and then the whole house, knowing they'd all find out eventually once you share information to one person.
  • My Greatest Failure: After knowing what she did as the H@cker completely blew Bayleigh's game out the window, Haleigh didn't even bother trying to save Bayleigh from eviction with a pity vote against Rockstar, having done all she could to fix her mistake. Unfortunately, her friend went to the Jury House.
  • Nice Girl: Downplayed. Haleigh is friendly, kind, sweet and the quintessential girl next door. However, she has revealed not so pleasant traits and qualities while playing the game. She is prone to gossiping and engaging in trash talk about other houseguests. Despite her assertion that her game moves are strategic, her actions contradict this claim. Some of her strategic decisions in the game have been driven by personal motives, including feelings of jealousy and competitiveness towards other female contestants (Angela and Kaitlyn). Furthermore, her actions have been driven by a petty desire for validation and attention from Tyler, stemming from her unrequited affection for him.
  • Nothing Nice About Sugar and Spice: She is the strongest feminine aspect and influence of FOUTTE and The Hive. In addition, she's a Femme Fatale that uses flirting and her sexuality to entice the male houseguests into doing what she wants.
  • Odd Couple: With Fessy. Many fans have commented on the couple, expressing their perception that they are strange or unusual. Haleigh didn't seem to be attracted to Fessy in the beginning and has openly admitted to being reluctant to be in a relationship with him. Fessy has demonstrated complete incompetence in the game, while Haleigh has shown potential to be sharp, savvy, and clever in her gameplay. They couldn't be more opposite in many ways.
  • Odd Friendship: With Scottie and Rockstar. Scottie is the quintessential nerd and Haleigh is the classic pretty popular girl. They have little to nothing in common yet they do share a strong bond and friendship. Rockstar is significantly older than Haleigh and is more rough around the edges than her. Haleigh embodies a more aesthetically pleasing, relaxed, and grounded persona, akin to the girl next door. In contrast, Rockstar exhibits a more assertive, vociferous, impassioned, and flamboyant demeanor. Haleigh and Rockstar couldn't be more different in regards to personality and temperament yet they are super close and trust each other strongly in the game.
  • Oh, Crap!: After witnessing a post-HOH celebratory dance between Tyler, Angela, Brett, and JC once Angela won HOH, Haleigh instantly realizes that they're a four-person alliance and gunning for her and Fessy. She pretends to join in before the group awkwardly stops in place and realizes that they've been caught.
  • Oral Fixation: Brought up on the live feeds when Rockstar and Faysal notice Haleigh bites her nails as a coping mechanism for stress in the house. When offered a pack of cigarettes, she refuses to smoke and remarks that she has never done so in her life, hence the nail biting instead.
  • Plucky Girl: Haleigh may not have had the best luck in the game, but she maintains a positive and optimistic attitude. She approaches every difficult situation with a positive mindset, believing that there is always a solution to every problem she encounters. Unfortunately, her optimism did not benefit her in the game as everything went awry.
  • The Pollyanna: Haleigh remains positive and optimistic, even though she is constantly the Butt-Monkey who has been treated poorly. Haleigh has faced numerous challenges during her time in the house. She has repeatedly lost allies on a consecutive basis (Kaitlyn, Swaggy C, Bayleigh, Rockstar, Scottie, Fessy), become a huge target for many houseguests, been slut-shamed by Sam in front of everyone, had her best friend take the blame for her own actions and then voted out as a result, had her other best friend leave during her own HOH reign, had her boyfriend voted out while sitting on the block next to him, and was betrayed by someone she trusted (Scottie). She was the last member of her The Hive after they had been completely outplayed and decimated by the other dominant alliance (Level Six). Despite enduring numerous hits during the game, she maintained a smile on her face and persevered.
  • Really Gets Around: Haleigh is extremely flirtatious and charming. She likes to use her feminine wiles to charm all the guys in the house. She's seen flirting with almost every single male houseguest whether it be Faysal, Tyler, Brett, Winston, or Scottie. It's clear that her strategy in the game is to flirt with the guys because she believes that it will take her far. Haleigh has admitted that she isn't into Faysal romantically but that she likes to flirt with him because Faysal is into her and she uses his feelings for her to her advantage. Haleigh admitted to finding Tyler attractive but that she doesn't want to pursue anything serious with him because he doesn't seem that into having a showmance with anyone in the house. When Sam nominated her in Week 4, she called out Haleigh for constantly hopping in different guys beds and cuddling with them. Sam told Haleigh that she doesn't respect her game because of it.
  • The Remnant: By Week 11, Haleigh was the sole survivor of the Hive alliance. All of her other alliance members including Rockstar, Bayleigh, Scottie and Fessy were all evicted in the previous weeks. Haleigh was the last member of the alliance to fight in the game. However, this was short lived as she was already a target and was expendable to Level Six.
  • The Scapegoat: Swaggy believed she voted against him when he got evicted and wrongfully pushed her away when Haleigh tried to give him a hug, which Julie had to regretfully clear up after it was too late to do anything about it.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: AND HOW. First, She was part of an alliance that constantly has nothing go their way. Then, her own alliance member gets evicted on her own HOH thank to the H@cker, and by Week 11, her entire alliance is gone. When she loses both the HOH and Veto Competitions, she is completely broken, hopeless, and left in tears before eviction night came and she was finally put out of her misery.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: Haleigh is a pretty Girl Next Door who often wears casual clothing. However, when she dresses up in formal clothing, styles her hair and wears full makeup, she looks stunning. She looks like she could be a model or pin up doll.
  • Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Downplayed. Haleigh mentions that she finds several guys in the house attractive, such as Tyler, Brett, and Fessy. Haleigh catches the attention of Fessy, who wants to be in a relationship with her. Haleigh, however, is hesitant to get closer to Fessy because she fears it could distract her and negatively impact her game. Haleigh chooses to develop a relationship with Fessy because she genuinely likes him and thinks that he is a handsome and has a good personality.
  • Single Girl Seeks Popular Guy: Haleigh admitted to being infatuated with Tyler, the house's most popular and well-liked male resident, since the first week. Unfortunately, Tyler did not feel the same way about Haleigh and was unaffected by her southern charm. Haleigh ended up setting for Fessy afterwards.
  • Slut-Shaming: Haleigh is subjected to this in Week 4, when HOH Sam nominates her and Kaitlyn because she disapproved of their flirting with some of the male contestants, believing that both women "took the easy way" to get ahead in the game. Before breaking down in tears, Haleigh criticized Sam in her Diary Room entry post-nomination, worried about how it made her look to her family and friends back home.
  • Sour Supporter: For Fessy... oh so freaking much for Fessy. Haleigh is perpetually annoyed with him and cussing him out for every little thing he does, and considers him a liability to her game because he's always got to be the one in charge and never pays attention to anything but Haleigh and has proven himself to be a terrible Head of Household who single-handedly ruined their shot at making it past the final eight together. She only sticks with him because he's become her showmance.
  • Southern Belle: Haleigh is originally from Texas and she's a sweet Southern girl.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: With Fessy, who severely annoys her by always hovering around her and never giving her any personal space, but is a very strong ally for her in the game.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Haleigh won the Week 7 HOH immediately following a very disastrous run as the BB H@cker and was overjoyed and in tears. She was also wearing Kaycee's rainbow shirt from her Pinwheel of Doom unitard for fun, so the costume may have actually provided someone good luck for a change.
  • True Companions: With Bayleigh and her other FOUTTE/The Hive alliance members. Haleigh stood up for Bayleigh when no one else would, and even put the game aside to defend her honor and make things right, unwilling to live with herself by making Bayleigh go through a miserable time in the house after her attempt to target Tyler backfired severely. Haleigh risked her own neck for a person she considers a real friend, and had a very tender moment together with her after tearfully admitting she was the reason this all happened to Bayleigh.
  • Trying Not to Cry: Haleigh has another tearful episode after Scottie goes up on the block as Faysal's nominee and Scottie starts doing whatever he can to stay in the game, talking trash that Haleigh is "Kaitlyn 2.0". Feeling very betrayed by someone she thought was her ally, Haleigh storms off, changes clothes while trying to hide her tears from Tyler, but she starts to break down. Tyler comes over to console her and Haleigh hesitantly walks into the lounge where Kaycee and Angela are talking. Haleigh almost immediately collapses into tears and bawls her eyes out in front of Level Six.
  • Tsundere: Sometimes she's a sweet and nice girl who acts very affectionately. Other times, she gets into bickering matches with the other houseguests, especially Fessy.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom:
    • Her getting close with Faysal basically spelled out Steve's doom, as it caused Kaitlyn to flip on her original alliance.
    • Her attempt to clear Bayleigh’s name of being the H@cker resulted in instigating a nasty fight between Tyler and Bayleigh.
    • Her attempt to go after Tyler directly as the H@cker only managed to mobilize his whole alliance to get him off the eviction block, and they backdoored Bayleigh under strong suspicion it was her that made the move. Bayleigh broke down from all the negative treatment and got evicted, even when Haleigh did damage control.

Finished: Placed 6th (Juror #06)
Evicted: Evicted 3-0 VS. SAM
HOH Evicted Under: TYLER (in Week 11, Double Eviction)
Voted For: TYLER

  • Achievements in Ignorance: Brett's weird cooking combinations caused Sam to discover an allergy and an allergy trigger she didn't know she possessed. This also led to the feed being blacked out while she was being treated.
  • Action Hero: Subverted. Brett looks like he would be a strong physical competitor but has hasn't competitively proved himself to be useful yet. That may change in the future though. When he snags a Veto that saves him from the chopping block, Brett finally manages to show his stuff by earning that Veto in an ingenious manner.
  • Affably Evil: Brett is excellent at being friendly, sociable and affable tp those he doesn't like or those considered to be his enemies. His ability to fake loyalty to Th Hive side of the house is highly impressive. Brett and Tyler conspired together to create "Operation Lone Wolf" where Brett would pretend not to be aligned with Level Six or anyone. He would play the role of The Mole, spy or double agent for Level Six in order to gather game intel and information from The Hive alliance. The Hive genuinely believed that Brett was a lone wolf and that he had no loyalty to anyone or no alliance. Therefore, it made it believable to the Hive the Brett was on their side and had some loyalty to him because of how friendly he was towards them. However, Brett was playing The Hive alliance like a fiddle and they didn't even realize it. Brett acted nice and friendly to Bayleigh's face in Week 6 knowing that Angela was going to betray her by backdooring her and getting her evicted. After getting into many fights and altercations with Rockstar, Brett acted like he wanted to make amends with her and align with her in the game. Brett went as far as to entertain an alliance with Rockstar, an alliance called "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". To Rockstar's lack of knowledge, Brett fooled Rockstar into believing that he liked her because of his friendly he was being towards her. After Rockstar is evicted, Brett leaves an incredibly savage and mean Goodbye Message to Rockstar by laughing in her face, calling her a fool and an idiot for falling for his tricks of wanting to be in an alliance with her, and saying how happy he is that she is finally gone from the house because of how much he couldn't stand her. Brett would also pretend to be friendly with Fessy by citing that they are both meathead jocks who are competitive. Brett entertained the idea of working with Fessy but Brett was clearly playing him hardcore because Fessy has been his main target for many weeks and has been plotting his demise for a while. Brett pulled the same behavior with Scottie. Though Brett admits to liking Scottie on a personal level, he also views him as a dangerous threat in the game that needed to be removed ASAP. Brett acted overly chummy and friendly with Scottie and made it seem as though he was on Scottie's side and that he was someone he could trust and work with in the game. Brett misted Scottie so much that Scottie said in his Eviction Exit Interview that he thought Brett was a lone wolf and wasn't a part of any alliances. Brett is highly flirtatious with Haleigh but again, he is playing her for game reasons. Haleigh seems to be naive and gullible enough to believe that Brett may have some romantic interest in her and that he falls for her feminine charms. In realist, he has been targeting Haleigh without knowing and she has been Brett's target after Scottie for a long time now. Brett even admitted the he's completely okay with blindsiding Haleigh when she is evicted. But he comes across as so genuine and sincere with Haleigh that it would be a shock to her that Brett was just playing her the entire time. Brett seems to excel at being affable and fake to everyone that it's so difficult to be able to tell where his true feelings, loyalties or allegiances lie in the game.
  • Anti-Villain: Brett isn't really a villain but he can be very arrogant, smug and full of himself which gives off the impression that he is a villain. Brett is also rather ruthless and manipulative and has no issue with lying to people's faces and then stabbing them in the back and twisting the knife in his GBM's to people.
  • Arch-Enemy: Rockstar. Does Brett ever loathe, hate or despise her with the heat of a 1,000 suns! Brett and Rockstar have hated each other since the game begin, and it's only gotten worse with time and every personal attack they've made at one another (Rockstar seeing Brett as arrogant, smug, cocky and the very embodiment of a privileged White male; Brett seeing Rockstar as an obnoxious, dumb, overly liberal SJW). This got worse after Brett threw Rockstar under the bus by lying about her in his eviction speech (as a means to protect Tyler), which made Rockstar go ballistic. The two can barely hold a civil conversation after everything that.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Brett is a very athletic jock with a huge ego. The problem is that he subverts this trope because while he can be very smug, arrogant and cocky, he doesn't really have anything worthy of being arrogant about. He hasn't won any competitions and he's actually the worst competitor in the Level Six alliance. Despite being athletic and a jock, he has not yet proven himself as being a worthy competitor in the game so him acting smug and cocky doesn't make him look good.
  • Attention Whore: Brett clearly thrives on getting attention. He has a very loud and over the top personality and it shows in how much he enjoys acting hammy and over the top in his eviction speeches as well as his Goodbye Messages to people.
  • Badass Boast: Has little to no issue with constantly calling people out in either his eviction speeches or his Goodbye Messages to other people. In Week 5, Brett made a very blunt eviction speech about how Rachel exposed Bayleigh's power to the other side of the house and told Rachel before she told her allies. He also lied and said that Rachel was the leader of an all girls alliance. Rachel was completely blindsided by Brett's speech that she didn't even know what to say to defend herself. In Week 6, Brett left a sarcastic and mean Goodbye Message to Bayleigh while spending all week pretending to be friends with her playing nice to her. He said to Bayleigh in his Goodbye Message that he was glad that she was going home because she made an enemy out of him by nominating him and that because of it, she made poor choices. In Week 6, he repeated the same attitude and behavior with Rockstar that he did with Bayleigh. He pretended to like Rockstar and was nice to her, even forming a fake F2 alliance called "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". Brett hen chose to use that alliance against her in his nasty and mean GBM to Rockstar after she was evicted by calling Rockstar an idiot for falling for it. He sure knows how to boast when he plays someone!
  • Badass Bookworm: Brett is a highly smart guy despite his frat bro persona. He's a cyber security engineer for a living and he did attend college or university. Not only is he smart in regards to his occupation, but he's also rather clever in the game as well.
  • Badasses Wear Bandanas: Downplayed. Brett rocks a bandana very often but he's such a dork and wannabee tough guy that he keeps looking more stupid than cool.
  • Bait the Dog: Brett acted like he tolerated Rachel and entertained the idea of getting closer to her because he knew that she had a crush on him. But he had no problem with constantly trash talking her behind her back to Angela and Tyler. He exposed her desire to getting into a showmance with him and being way too sexually aggressive towards him. In addition, he completely blindsided her in his eviction speech by saying that Bayleigh and Rachel are in an all girls alliance together which was led by Rockstar and that ultimately, Rachel is an untrustworthy and disloyal person. Rachel ended up blindsided and crushed at Brett calling her out to the entire house and post eviction, she now holds embittered feelings towards him. He pulled the same behavior on Bayleigh. In Week 5, Brett exposed Bayleigh and her secret of having a power app to the entire house. He put her on blast which caused Bayleigh to be completely humiliated afterwards. Brett eventually smoothed things over with Bayleigh but he was just setting up Bayleigh to be blindsided again when he and his alliance planned on backdooring her. He pretended to be nice to Bayleigh and gave her some kind of hope that he was going to vote to keep her after she was blindsided by Angela and Tyler. But he voted her out and left her a very mean and nasty Goodbye Message saying that Bayleigh pissed him off and made an enemy out of him so he decided to send her home. Finally, he pulled a mega fast one on Rockstar. He pretended to want to make amends with Rockstar after spending the majority of the time at each other's throats. Brett even entertained the idea of a secret alliance called Mr & Mrs. Smith. Rockstar seemed to by Brett's schemes hook, line and sinker thinking that Brett was being a nice guy. However, after Rockstar was evicted, Brett went onto make another mean and nasty Goodbye Message to her which made Rockstar cry and humiliate her in the process. Brett is so excellent at being fake and pretending to be friendly to people, but his true colors come out whenever people are going home and when he makes his Goodbye Messages to people.
  • Bash Brothers: With Winston since the very start of the game. The two were very close and had a strong Undying Loyalty to each other. They were easily each other's number one in the game and they made it very obvious. After Winston leaves, Tyler becomes his number one in the game and seems to have replaced Winston with Tyler as his bro.
  • Batman Gambit: Provoked the wrath of Rockstar to show how undesirable she is as an ally in the game, and lied about Sam's alliance to confuse the house and avoid drawing attention to the secret blindside about to be conducted by Level Six.
  • Beauty Is Bad: Brett is an attractive guy and a Mr. Fanservice to boot, but he's part of the "bad side" of the house since he's in an alliance with Level Six. Brett is attractive and charming, but one shouldn't be fooled by his good looks, charisma and charm because he doesn't always have the best of intentions and he's quite the Wild Card.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: Brett is trying so hard to be the Big Bad of the season... but after initially coming off as someone to be afraid of, Brett turns out to be woefully incompetent, acts highly immature, and almost always screws up competitions very badly. His antics go from clever to comical, and the editors love to treat Brett like a nimrod, with him becoming reduced to almost a full-blown Joke Character.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Starts to display this typeof behavior towards Tyler once Winston leaves. Brett is willing to protect Tyler in the game and he has made a Final 2 deal with him so that they can go to the end together. Interestingly enough, Winston played the big brother role and protector to Brett before he was evicted and now Brett has taken on the big brother role to Tyler.
  • Big Eater: Brett LOVES to eat and it shows in how much passion he has for cooking and baking things. Other than Sam, Brett spends more time in the kitchen than anybody else. There's never a moment when Brett isn't seen stuffing his face or cooking something in the kitchen. Because of his excessive eating habits, Brett has manages to put on some pounds and has gained some weight, particularly in his belly or stomach area. Brett has even commented that he's one step away from having a Dad Bod because of his love of eating and food.
  • The Big Guy: Subverted. Brett isn't an overly tall or large guy in regards to height but he is husky, muscular and athletic. Despite his athletic physique, he's not that much of a bruiser and is more of The Smart Guy who uses manipulation, lying and strategy to get through the game. Brett was expected to be a huge endurance or physical threat in competitions, but it turns out that he may be more of a mental threat.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: Brett is fun loving, quirky, and humorous. He is very extroverted, boisterous and loves to make fun of everything. He doesn't take life too seriously. Brett constantly loves to make outrageous eviction speeches every time he is on the block and facing eviction and he loves to stir up trouble for the hell of it.
  • Boisterous Weakling: Brett sure talks a good game and looks like he would be a solid competitor in the physical competitions, but overall, he just sucks at all of them whether they be mental, endurance or physical based. Despite his lack of competitive prowess, he manages to be stormer in other aspects of the game such as social and some strategic, so he's not completely useless despite his large ego.
  • Brainless Beauty: Averted. Brett is a physically attractive Mr. Fanservice, but just because he's good looking and flirtatious doesn't mean that he lacks in brains, strategy and intelligence. He's actually very smart, cunning, manipulative and an excellent liar when he needs to be. Let's not forget that Brett is a cybersecurity engineer for a living.
  • Bromantic Foil: Brett is more brash, straight forward and extravagant when he flirts with the girls in the house in comparison to Tyler, who is more charming, affectionate and understanding when he flirts with girls in the house. There's a major stark contrast in how Brett and Tyler flirt with Angela for example. Brett uses sexual innuendo and corny jokes to flirt with Angela while Tyler uses words of affection, comfort and affirmation to flirt with Angela. Clearly, Angela prefers Tyler's style of flirting much better.
  • Brutal Honesty: Definitely not afraid to speak his mind. He's famous for making very harsh yet truthful speeches whenever he's on the block. He called out Kaitlyn and made fun of her during his POV speech in Week 3. Secondly, he will gladly blow up people's games just to prove how unstable the people act when they're under pressure. There's also his live feed chats, where Brett has gotten in trouble a few times for bashing production. He had a long conversation with JC and Tyler in Week 9 about his stigma against showmances and refusing to entertain Rachel's desire to have one because she put him off with a personality he knows won't work out with his. Brett further went on to say that he was against the way showmances are encouraged by production and made tacit jabs at them.
  • Butt-Monkey: Poor Brett! Week 6, Brett got turned into a whipping post. He did incredibly bad at the first H@cker Comp and only got the last round right, even trying to spell "ANALLICE" thinking the word puzzle "ALLIANCE" was "ANALYZE". Next, in the "Space Pecs" prize giveaway Veto Competition, after trying to swipe a trip to Honolulu, Tyler swipes it next, and Brett has to look after Jessie's grandma in Week 6. This is the same person who was the "Yell!" reviewer in drag, forcing Brett to get "her" pills, rub "her" feet, and fetch her walker. and becoming a bother to care for by making his day harder than it needs to be. Then, he gets his Diary Room session crashed just like Rachel did. On top of all this, Brett gets to be punished at the same time as Rockstar and she makes sure to troll him for it, and then Kaycee gets her punishment at the same time and the whole house erupts into a dance number. Brett's punishment was short, yet super ridiculous. But hey- at least he gets a knitted sweater out of the deal!
  • Casanova Wannabe: Brett is very flirtatious and likes to flirt with as many of the female houseguests as possible. He's flirted with Angela and Haleigh the most out of al the girls. However, he doesn't have much luck in getting the girls affections 100%. Although some of the girls like Rachel, Sam, and Haleigh do like Brett and have expressed some interest in him, they either have their feeling unreciprocated (Rachel), they are in a showmance with someone else (Haleigh), or they prefer another guy to him (Haleigh, Sam, Angela, Kaycee). Though Brett tries very hard to be The Charmer with the ladies, he's clearly second best to Tyler in this regard who has all of the girls (and the guys!) fawning over him.
  • The Charmer: Definitely one of the most flirtatious and charming male houseguests of the season. He's worked his charm and flirt game on some of the female houseguests school as Haleigh, Angela, Rachel and Kaitlyn. And it's not just the girls that he's managed to charm. He's even managed to charm a fellow bro in Winston as Winston admitted numerous times both to Brett and during his DR sessions that he's completely bro-smitten with Brett.
  • Chewing the Scenery: When Brett is on the eviction block, he makes it into a sideshow.
  • Clark Kenting: He has a pair of glasses that he wears which are fake just to try and prevent people from realizing he's a lot smarter and cooler than he looks.
  • Consummate Liar: Each time Brett has sat on the eviction block, he's whipped up some whoppers to tell the whole house about select houseguests. The first time, it was just to piss Rockstar off. The second time, it was to deflect attention from the blindside about to be dealt to Rachel with the idea that Sam headed an all-girls alliance called the "Man-Eaters" (she was in on the blindside, too), working off the fear that the girls were trying to pick off all the guys mentioned earlier in the day.
  • Cutting the Knot: In the newest iteration of the chaotic "Hide and Go Veto" competition, now Zing-Bot themed, Brett acheives this by simply preventing anyone from even entering the Have-Not Room with his folder hidden inside by barricading it with literally every bed mattress from the blue and pink rooms next door. Tyler caught on quickly, but the fact that he couldn't even get the door to open, let alone search nineteen mattresses, was a testament to how far Brent went to keep his folder hidden.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Brett's extremely sarcastic, snarky and witty. His makes constant sarcastic comments and his eviction speeches are filled with tons of wit and humor.
  • The Determinator: When Brett finally snapped his losing streak in competitions, he fought hard to earn that Veto. He BLOCKED the ENTIRE Have-Not Room from entrance just to hide his folder the hardest... with FOUR queen-size mattresses. He also accidentally broke some people's cups from Pop TV in the act of ripping the beds asunder. Every round he went into the house to search for other people's folders, he bee-lined to the Have-Not Room to make sure his hadn't been compromised.
  • Did Not See That Coming: Blindsided and backdoored by his alliance at the Double Eviction for plotting to target Kaycee and Angela ahead of JC and Sam, Brett was clearly caught off guard. He was extra shocked because Tyler, someone who had thought was his ride or die and his #1 ally, was the one to do it.
  • Enemy Mine: Subverted HARD. He had a lot of fun mocking Rockstar in his goodbye message for thinking they had a final two deal. He used this as a prime opportunity to get her voted out of the house and completely shredded the "Mr. and Mrs. Robinson" alliance when joking about it in hindsight and wondered if she had even seen the film.
  • Entitled Bastard:
    • How Rockstar views Brett. From her perspective, Brett is nothing more than a Spoiled Brat and a privileged White male who had everything handed to him because of who he is. However, Brett told Tyler that he actually needs to win the money because of said financial struggles.
    • She had the exact same perspective about Angela. She believes that like Brett, she's an entitled and spoiled bitch or princess that got everything that she wanted. When Rockstar is evicted and views the nasty GBM's from both Angela and Brett, she says she's a good judge of character because she had thought Brett and Angela were spoiled, entitled brats and their goodbye messages proved her right.
  • Frat Bro: COWABUNGA! Is Brett ever the epitome of a frat bro that you would find on numerous college campuses or in a fraternity. Going by Brett's personal life stories, he was very much the mega frat guy during his college years and he flaunts it proudly. He was a mega partier and what some would call a major douche.
  • The Gadfly: Enjoys starting mayhem just to watch the fireworks explode in the house. Most of the time, he does this through his over the top and dramatic eviction speeches in front of the entire house.
  • Genius Bruiser: Brett is a possible physical threat because he is built and muscular but he's also a strategic, social and mental threat. Combine those together and it makes Brett one of the most deadly players in the house. Everyone seems to underestimate him in the game because he constantly chokes in competitions, but he could easily start winning comps later on in the game. In addition, Brett is also a cyber security engineer for a living so he's definitely got plenty of brain power and intelligence. He's more than just a meathead jock and a Mr. Fanservice that's good as eye candy. He also proved he could properly earn a POV by not just working to hide his folder in a critical competition where his safety was on the line, but actually barricaded the room he hid it inside to stop people from entering under the short time limit everyone got turns to look inside, and decided to "protect what was mine" rather than look for other people's folders, always going back to make sure his fortress of mattresses hadn't been breached.
  • Genius Ditz: Brett has a rather solid social and strategic game but he completely sucks at competitions. He can't seem to win a competition to save his life and has to depend on his other allies to keep him safe in the game. Even Brett has complained that he really wants to win more comps but can't seem to ever pull out the wins when he wants to.
  • Genre Blind: When Rockstar is evicted, he proceeds to give one of the rudest goodbye messages ever on the history of Big Brother. Julie Chen even said, "Does he not realise you're a juror?" to Rockstar. Being very rude to jurors is a very good way to get votes against you, as Paul Abrahamian can tell you.
  • Graceful Loser: Considering that Brett was backstabbed and blindsided by Tyler and his other Level Six alliance members Kaycee and Angela, Brett still took his eviction and his blindside extremely well especially considering the way his blindside went which was rather cut throat, unexpected and brutal. Anybody else in Brett's position would have probably broke down and lost it emotionally.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Definitely has a bit of a jealous streak when it pertains to Tyler and Angela's relationship. Brett gets jealous of their relationship or whenever they hang out because Brett's number one ally and F2 in the game is Tyler and he just wants to hang out with his bro and strategize. Brett has even warned Tyler to not get too caught up in whatever he feels for Angela because it could distract him and ruin his game. Brett has told Tyler that he could date Angela after the show if he wants but that while they are playing for 500K, it's a wise idea to cool down the romance with Angela. Brett also gets jealous where Angela is concerned. He sometimes likes to flirt with her but Angela has shown zero interest in Brett romantically.
  • Guile Hero: Brett is one of the most intelligent and strategic players in the game. Everything that he has done in the game has been based on logic and strategy and he rarely uses emotion in his game moves. Brett, with Tyler's knowledge and permission, has been playing the role of The Mole or double agent for his Level Six alliance. He is playing both sides of the house and is gathering game information and intel from the opposing side of the house, which is The Hive and the FOUTTE side, and spilling all of their game information to Level Six and the Level Six allies (JC and Sam). If Brett plays his cards right, he could get very far in the game without being caught. He's definitely one of the strongest strategic and social players in the game next to Tyler and Scottie.
  • Heroic Build: Brett is largely brawny and muscular. He's a meathead jock who spends a lot of time pumping iron after all so it's to be expected.
  • Homoerotic Subtext: With Winston. They were so close that many felt they could be a showmance due to the abundance of Ho Yay moments between them. Even production played up their bromance is something romantic in nature.
  • It's All About Me: Brett is very self absorbed, self involved and narcissistic. He has a really bad habit of making everything about himself even at the most inappropriate of times. Brett has a giant ego and constantly likes to talk about himself and toot his own horn. He could seriously give Jessie Godderz AKA Mr. Pectacular a serious run for his money for the title of Biggest Narcissist In Big Brother History.
  • It's Personal: After Scottie sends a clear message by nominating the bromance, Brett sends one of his own by trying to throw his weight around in the house.
  • Jerk Jock: A heavily muscular man in a nerdy profession, but his personality is ruthless.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Brett can be a major jerk, but overall, he's still a friendly and sociable dude. He can also be very good at offering comfort to people when they are upset. Much of his over the top and abrasive behavior is more of an act then anything else. Most of Brett's douchey behavior is an act, similar to the way Paul Abrahamian plays the game. Bayleigh didn't buy into his cocky goodbye message because she knew Brett loves her as a friend. Regardless, the Zing-Bot calls him a douche and Brett remarks on the live feeds that it's not the first time he's heard someone call him a douche and likely won't be the last. Fessy is even surprised he wasn't the one called the douche, as his friends back home thinks he's one.
  • The Lancer: He's currently playing this role to Tyler. Interestingly enough, Tyler was playing this role to Brett in the earlier weeks of the game. It appeared as if Brett was the leader of the Level Six alliance, but eventually Tyler took that role from Brett and is now the one running the alliance. Brett is more or less playing the role of sidekick to Tyler.
  • Large Ham: Brett loves to be grandiose. Sometimes it's hilarious, but other times, what he does is beyond cringeworthy. The results vary.
  • Lethal Chef: Brett is shown in the live feeds to be a bad cook. He served Sam a dish that caused her to get an allergic reaction because the dish contained tuna. She had to get an Epi-Pen and the feeds were turned off during the incident, and Sam stated she was allergic to nothing. Then he attempted to cook a bacon and chocolate breakfast dish and ended up accidentally causing a fire in the big brother house. This also caused a feed blackout while Sam hustled up with the fire extinguisher. He also tried to coat a halibut that smelled bad in Kraft Parmesan and accidentally shook the can so hard it popped back open and showered the island counter in cheese crumbs, joking to Sam that the kitchen had lice.
  • Manipulative Bastard: WOW. Brett is definitely one of the most scheming, lying, manipulative and backstabbing houseguests in the house next to Tyler. In Week 6, Tyler gave Brett the role of The Mole and double agent for the Level Six alliance since Tyler felt that he was too "exposed" to play that role. Brett has spent the past few weeks lying to The Hive and playing the hell out of them, only to out himself in his GBM to members of The Hive that have gone home such as Bayleigh and Rockstar. Brett has aloof charm and charisma so it makes it easy for someone like him to lie and manipulate others so easily and for people to buy it.
  • Motor Mouth: Brett is a mega talker and conversationalist. Once he gets going, he CANNOT stop talking at all.
  • No Indoor Voice: Brett has very extravagant DR sessions, so the fact that he comes across as loud and always yelling in them is not a surprise. He's a Large Ham personality and makes everything dramatic. He's no where near as loud as Joe Arvin (BB14), Dan Gheesling (BB14), or Zach Rance (BB16) though, but he could surely give them a run for their money!
  • Properly Paranoid: He reveals to Angela that he has a very conscious fear of a Jury Battle-Back showdown coming up in Week 9, taking into account that Kaitlyn has a small-scale twist pre-Jury. Brett starts to calculate how much time is left in the house before September 27th (Finale Night) after he gets off the block with his first Veto. He expects a Double Eviction because there always is one... and realizes that it lines up perfectly with a chance to throw in a Battle-Back twist. It makes further sense to anticipate one when the seasons of Big Brother have accommodated at least four people a chance back into the game ever since 13 (minus 14, which had foregone the twist in favor of letting the coaches formally enter the game).
  • Real Men Cook: Brett loves cooking and baking things and a lot of his time is spent in the kitchen making food. It's part of the reason why Sam has a liking to Brett is because he shares her love of cooking and spending time in the kitchen basking in the enjoyment of the culinary arts.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Brett is the Red Oni to Tyler's Blue Oni. While Tyler is calm, chill, collected and rarely gets overly emotional or loses his temper, Brett is more loud, emotional, impulsive and hot headed.
  • Sad Clown: Though he's one of the funniest players in the house, when he's not playing it up for the TV show, Brett behaves a lot differently on the live feeds. He tells Tyler and JC that he has been through depression in the past and has some very negative views about showmances.
  • Supreme Chef: Along with Sam, Brett is the primary cook or chef in the house. He's constantly in the kitchen making food for everyone and his cooking is actually rather good.
  • The Mole: Within Level Six, Brett is taking on the role of double agent by trying to gain information from the FOUTTE side of the house and spilling it to the rest of his alliance. Before Week 6, Tyler was playing this role but Tyler had told Brett to take his role as double agent for the alliance due to being slightly exposed after Angela used the POV on him.
  • The Smart Guy: A cybersecurity engineer who is hiding his profession to avoid letting people know how smart he is. On the surface, he appears to be nothing more than a Dumb Jock who is shallow and silly.
  • Smug Snake: Gives off these vibes given his dislike of nerds and overall arrogant behavior.
  • True Companions: With his fellow Level Six Alliance members including Tyler, Kaycee, Angela, Winston and Rachel. Brett has such Undying Loyalty to his alliance and he is thick as thieves with them. He was willing to play the role of The Mole or double agent for the alliance so that he could gather intel and game info from The Hive/FOUTTE and spill to the Level Six alliance. Brett was especially close to Winston before he was evicted and the two were inseparable Bash Brothers.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: Despite being one of the biggest and most narcissistic muscular jerks since Jessie Godderz, if not worse, a lot of people in the house actually like him. It saved him from eviction on Week 5.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Says he feels most betrayed by Tyler as he thought he was his number one wingman (Top Gun style) as Tyler puts him on the block as a replacement for JC and he subsequently is evicted.

  • Abhorrent Admirer: Sam is one for Tyler but it's downplayed since Sam is not an unattractive person overall but she is very clingy and needy and constantly needs Tyler's reassurance and attention which can get on Tyler's nerves from time to time. Sam has had a very strong attachment to Tyler since the beginning of the game. Tyler was the only one to give Sam any kind of love, affection and attention while she was a robot. Sam's social game took a hit because she was being secluded from the rest of the houseguests due to the punishment. Many of the houseguests would often ignore her or act like she was invisible. Tyler was the only one to really talk to Sam as both a person and a robot and didn't treat her any different when she was both. Because of Tyler's kindness and compassion towards her, Sam developed an emotional attachment and bond to Tyler that she hasn't been able to shake. She's so attached to Tyler that she has Undying Loyalty to him and is willing to do anything that he wants or asks of her whether it be about the game or personal matters. However, though Sam's loyalty to Tyler is something that's admirable, there have been many instances when Sam gets really overly emotional and unpredictable whenever Tyler doesn't give her enough attention and affection. Such as the case in Week 6 and 7 when Sam ends up having a mega emotional and mental breakdown because she feels like Tyler and Angela are becoming super close and that Tyler had replaced Sam with Angela. Sam got very insecure and jealous about Tyler and Angela's relationship that she went as far as turning on Level Six and siding with The Hive, mainly Rockstar. As soon as Tyler, and by extension Kaycee, started to give her more attention, Sam was easily swayed back to having loyalty to Tyler once again. Sam's emotional and mental state is heavily dependent on Tyler and her relationship status with him. Tyler has become a Living Emotional Crutch for Sam so much that when he was nominated by the H@cker, Sam was bawling. Despite this, there have been instances when Tyler has become visibly annoyed and irritated with Sam and her constant emotional outbursts and need for attention. He clearly feels that babysitting her constantly and giving her reassurance is exhausting at times.
  • Action Girl: This is downplayed. Sam isn't the strongest competitor. But she did manage to win an endurance HOH competition in Week 4. While standing on the tree, Sam said that she could stay up there all night and she wouldn't jump off. Since she is a muscular, tough and strong woman who is a welder for a living, it's not a surprise that she is a badass and kick ass in physical and endurance competitions. In addition to being a threat in endurance and physical comps, Sam has the potential to be strong in mental competitions because she's shown solid mental prowess and has a good memory.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Tyler often calls her "Sammy", especially when he's trying to cheer her up or give her a pep talk. He especially called her by this nickname when she was having the Robot Punishment in Week 1 as a form of emotional comfort and endearment.
  • The Alcoholic: Sam openly admits on the live feeds that she used to have a bit of a drinking problem. She called herself an alcoholic. It's uncertain if she's on and off the wagon currently.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: Sam has had a crush or had an attraction to some of the men in the house. She's shown attraction to Tyler, Brett, and Fessy at various points. Sam likes Fessy and has admitted that he's a great guy and that any woman would be lucky enough to have him. However, Fessy has shown no indication that he has ant attraction to Sam and that he only views her as a friend. Instead, Fessy is strongly drawn to Haleigh and has been desperately trying to get into a showmance with her for the entirety of the game. The only instance when Fessy shows Sam any kind of attention or affection is when Sam is throwing herself at him or making the first move. In Week 7, Sam confesses to Rockstar of all people that she thinks Brett is a charming dude and that she may have more than friendly feelings for him. She says that he makes her feel like a giddy school girl and she doesn't know how to handle it. However, there's some that speculate that her crush on Brett is extremely random and out of nowhere since she and Brett were never particularly close or had a close friendship or bond. Other speculate that Brett is code word for Tyler and that it's Tyler that she actually likes but is trying to hide it. Brett has also shown no attraction to Sam whatsoever and he appears to pay way more attention to the younger and prettier girls like Haleigh and Angela. Finally, Sam had a strong emotional bond and attachment to Tyler since Week 1 when she was a robot. Tyler had a close relationship with Kaitlyn in the early weeks of the game and because of that, Sam got jealous and protective of Tyler and nominated her for eviction alongside Haleigh in Week 4. She made it her mission to get Kaitlyn out of the house much to Tyler's opposition. In Week 6, Sam ended up having a category five meltdown after Bayleigh was evicted. It's assumed that part of the reason for her meltdown as because Sam felt like Tyler was replacing her with Angela, who Tyler had been in an alliance with since the beginning but had openly become much closer to in the recent weeks. Because of Tyler and Angela becoming much closer and becoming more and more of a duo, Sam lashed out in anger and jealousy and stated to Rockstar that she wanted both Tyler and Angela out of the house. It's clear that Sam has a strong kindness for Tyler but though Tyler cares for Sam, he obviously overlooks her for Angela, who is obviously his fave girl in the house since they share things in common. Poor Sam. She clearly wants to be loved by the guys in the house but she's had no luck since they all overlook her for the younger and prettier girls. Part of the reason why she has so many insecurity issues regarding the other women in the house.
  • All-Loving Hero: Sam doesn't seem to have an ill will towards any houseguest in the house and she's genuinely nice to everyone in the house. She's pretty much the female version of Donny Thompson from BB16. Subverted because Sam does have it out for Kaitlyn and Haleigh in particular.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: Out of all the punishments in the first week, Sam had it the worst out of everyone else. Sam had the Robot Punishment in which she has to switch between being a robot for a period of time and being a regular houseguest. When the robot signal comes on over the speakers, Sam has to turn back into a robot and she ends up being isolated away from everyone else which puts a cramp on her social game and her interactions with the other houseguests. On top of it, Sam ends up being nominated in the first week due to being the first houseguest to be eliminated from the HOH competition. Poor Sam.
  • Alpha Bitch: As soon as Sam won HOH in Week 4, she immediately got HOH-itis and became power hungry and dictatorial. Sam started off by telling everyone that nobody but her is allowed in her HOH room without her knowledge or permission and that she will lock the HOH room unless she's in it. She also told everyone before nominations that she wasn't going to do one on ones with the other houseguests and that she didn't want to talk game because she already knew what she was going to do anyways. This behavior confused and intimidated the houseguests. To make things worse, Sam makes a very mean, petty and scathing nomination speech to Kaitlyn and Haleigh in front of the entire house. She stated that she nominated the both of them because she doesn't respect them using their sexuality and their feminine wiles on the men of the house. She felt that they were both manipulating the guys emotions and disrespecting them. She added that they should both respect themselves more and that their flirting strategy is the opposite of female empowerment in her eyes. This upset Kailtyn and Haleigh, who were hurt by Sam's mean words, but Sam showed them no mercy and didn't feel apologetic about what she told the both of them. Sam's speech made her come across as a Female Misogynist who dislikes the other women in the house because she's One of the Boys and prefers the company of men. Sam's rigid, self righteous and authoritarian attitude during her HOH week revealed that Sam isn't the sweet Southern Belle the she originally portrayed herself to be. There's also the fact that Sam gets jealous and catty where the other female houseguests are concerned and she has made mean comments about Kaitlyn, Haleigh, Angela and Rachel in particular.
  • Ambiguously Bi: On the love feeds, JC asked Sam if she has ever had a same sex or lesbian experience in her life. Sam says that she has in the past indicating that there's a possibility that Sam may be bisexual. But she has never outright confirmed that she is bisexual and has only talked about having an ex-boyfriend back home in which she had a very nasty breakup with.
  • Attention Whore: Sam is extremely needy and constantly needs attention and affirmation from other people to feel good about herself. If she doesn't get attention, she'll find ways to get it such as having constant emotional outbursts and breakdowns.
  • Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Subverted. Sam developed blisters on her hands after bragging that she wouldn't develop any from mopping, and managed to cut herself on her hands while handling ice. She also tends to have extensively dirty feet because she walks around almost completely barefoot, she smokes (though tried to go cold turkey), and her nose seems to be sunburnt from spending too much time outside because it is unusually pink in the Diary Room sessions. Finally, she had her lips swell up out of nowhere when a dish made by Brett containing tuna and a few other unusual ingredients caused Sam to suffer an allergic reaction and she needed an epinephrine shot. Sam also left the house in sweatpants and felt embarrassed, but this is a minor example because she just was wearing casual clothes and still looked very pretty regardless.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: The biggest reason why Sam loves Tyler and is Undying Loyalty to him is because Tyler was pretty much the only person who paid her any attention when she was a robot for the first few weeks of the game. Everyone else pretty much ignored her but Tyler talked to her like she was still in human form when she was a robot. Since then, Sam has repaid Tyler's kindness with loyalty.
  • Berserk Button: The perception someone's making her look like a dumbass. Sam is so touchy about this she takes almost anything resembling the slightest negative opinion of her as mockery of her intelligence. A few times, she's threatened to go off but held back because she knows it wouldn't look very dignified, but has said to Haleigh that if someone tells her to go off as part of the game, she'll do it in a way like no other.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: She's nice but boy, do not piss her off or get on her bad side! She can also be rather unstable and unpredictable so it's not wise to tick her off or get on her bad side whatsoever. An example of how Sam can go from being low key and nice to sterns when she won HOH and acted like a complete dictator. She told everyone that nobody was allowed in her HOH room without her permission and that she wasn't going to be speaking to people individually about nominations because she had already made up her mind about who she wanted to put up. Sam brought out her petty and catty side when she nominated Kaitlyn and Haleigh for eviction. She humiliated the both of them during her nomination speech by claiming that she doesn't respect them in the game because they use their sexuality and flirting as a strategy and Sam doesn't have respect for that. She cites that Kaitlyn and Haleigh are "disrespecting" the young men in the house because of their flirting and throwing themselves at all the guys and she believes that they are playing with the guys hearts and manipulating their emotions. Sam's speech caused Kaitlyn and Haleigh to bawl serious Broken Tears because they were so embarrassed by the fact that Sam claimed that what they were doing was the opposite of female empowerment. Before her week as HOH, it was hard to believe that Sam had such a petty side to her but she most definitely does. The fact that she has a jealous and catty side also adds to not being the complete Nice Girl that she passes herself off as.
  • Big Eater: Sam eats a lot and has a love of food. She's always in the kitchen cooking or baking something. She's pretty much the house chef and finds peace in making food for the entire house. According to the rest of the houseguests, they absolutely love her cooking.
  • The Big Girl: Sam isn't overly tall in a height sense, but she is a bit of a bruiser since she's pretty muscular and husky in build. She's a welder after all which is an occupation that requires alot of physical strength.
  • Big Sister Instinct: Sam is intensely protective of Scottie and especially Tyler. If anyone even thinks of coming after them or attacking them in any way, she will blow gasket. One of the reasons why Sam nominated Kaitlyn and Haleigh during her week as HOH in Week 4 was because she had felt they they were playing with Scottie and Tyler's hearts. Sam felt that Haleigh was using Scottie and playing with his emotions and that would break Scottie if he found out that Haleigh was using him. And she nominated Kaitlyn because she felt like she was crossing the line with Tyler and taking advantage of him. She didn't like the fact that Kaitlyn also had a boyfriend back home yet was flirting with Tyler and trying to use him. Because of these reasons, Sam made it her mission to get either Kaitlyn or Haleigh out fo the house and she succeeded in getting Kaitlyn (her main target) out because she thought it would be most beneficial for Tyler in the end. Sam has also said that she feels a kinship and bond with Tyler especially because she reminds her of her younger brother (and Tyler does have a strong resemblance to her younger brother). Sam even cites that Tyler is her "surrogate younger brother" in the house, thought here have been hints that she may have a crush on Tyler.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Sam is a nice girl but she does have a nasty streak when she's provoked into anger. Apparently Sam brought out her edgy and bitchy side during the first POV competition in Week 1. She cursed out production for shocking her during the competition. Many of the houseguests were rather surprised and even shocked by that side of Sam because she always comes across as nice, friendly and down to earth. It shows that no matter how genuinely nice Sam is, she does have a edge to her that will be brought to the surface if she's provoked.
  • Boyish Short Hair: Out of all the female houseguests this season, Sam has the shortest hair of the bunch. That doesn't mean that she doesn't try to style it.
  • Breakout Character: As a result of her popularity, she won the first BB App power of the season which was given to her through the vote of the Big Brother fans.
  • Break the Cutie: Sam's first week in the Big Brother house was very rough on both a competitive and a social aspect, and having a punishment only made her feel even lousier. Fortunately, she stayed in the house over Steve meaning her robot days are over and she might have something going on with Tyler in terms of gameplay.
  • Broken Tears: Sam cries so many of these that it's become a Running Gag this season. Every single week, Sam is getting super emotional and crying all the time over something. Sam is a super emotional person but her constant crying could be because she always feels like an outsider amongst a group of social;le and popular kids and she just doesn't feel like she fits in. In the first couple of weeks, Sam was constantly shedding tears because she felt invisible and that everyone always ignores her. Unfortunately for Sam, her constant crying and her emotional outbursts have turned people off and she's made herself come off as an emotional wreck.
  • Butt-Monkey: She was a robot for the first two weeks in the house. Her punishment ended up putting a damper on her social game and her ability to bond with the other houseguests. She mentioned that because of her time as a robot, she ended up feeling ostracized and isolated by the rest of the houseguests. Sam had a mini outburst towards the other houseguests because she felt that they were shunning her and not paying her any attention. She felt that they were being fake towards her.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Sam has dropped some hints that she has some jealousy issues where Tyler is concerned. Some people speculate that Sam may have nominated Kaitlyn and Haleigh in Week 4, because those who two of the girls that Tyler had been flirting with. Sam especially wanted to get Kaitlyn out of the house because Tyler had a very close bond and relationship with Tyler. And she wanted Haleigh out of the house because she thought that she was The Tease who was playing with Fessy, Scottie and Tyler's emotions. Come Week 7, and Sam openly expresses that she wants Angela (and Tyler by extension) to go because she has noticed that since Angela won HOH in Week 6, Tyler and Angela have become much closer. Angela using the Veto to take Tyler off the block confirmed Sam's suspicions that Tyler may be closer to Angela than to Sam and Sam felt like Tyler was neglecting her. Not only does Sam show some clinginess and jealousy towards girls who get close to Tyler but she also gets jealous over Fessy who she admitted to really liking on a personal level.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Sam is a nice girl and all, but she can be very strange and out there sometimes. She has her head in the clouds at times and has no idea what's really going on in the game.
  • Cluster F-Bomb: During the POV competition, Sam basically lost her cool and cursed up a storm when she was being shocked. She took out her anger and frustrations on production by cursing and swearing non stop at them. The other houseguests were shocked and disappointed in the side of her and her unpredictable behaviour.
  • Cute and Psycho: Sam is a combination of The Cutie + Ax-Crazy. She can be so creepy and crazy at times that she gives Raven Walton (BB19), Danielle Murphree (BB14), Amber Siyavus (BB8), and Vanessa Rousso (BB17) a serious run for their money! Sam looks sweet, affable, friendly, and cute on the surface but she masks a volatile, unpredictable and crazy side of her personality. Sam had threatened that she would chop off Kaitlyn's head because she didn't like the way that Kaitlyn was treating her when she was in robot form. Let's not forget that Sam apparently lost it on production during the POV competition. She was cursing and yelling at them and many of the houseguests cited Sam as coming off as unstable, crazy and psychotic during her outburst. She also threatened that she would punch a mud hole in Kaitlyn's chest and she said it with a smile on her face. In Week 6, Sam said that she wanted to tackle Angela and Tyler for supposedly betraying her or because she was jealous over their relationship and their closeness. Sam also made violence threats and said that those who were talking badly about her behind her back, she would rip them limb from limp and pull their bottom lip over the back of their head and make them regret the day that they were born. She had an creepy moment in the Storage Room when she looked at the camera with a Slasher Smile and Dull Eyes of Unhappiness and said that this wasn't what she signed up for, that she wasn't going to let her opportunity of being happy outside of the house be ruined by a f***ing idiot (the idiot is assumed to be either Tyler or Angela because she felt hurt, jealous and betrayed by the both of them) and that is was quite enough and that they think she's a stupid girl but she's not. In a Week 7 live show episode, Sam was having a conversation about curb stomping someone. JC was so distraught after Sam made the comment that he said "That was terrifying". Coincidentally, psychotic music was playing during that segment. Sam is clearly emotionally and mentally unstable and can easily snap at any moment. She also has wide and erratic mood swings which makes her strongly unpredictable. She can go from sweet, cute and innocent one minute to dark, volatile and creepy the next minute.
  • Cute, but Cacophonic: Sam's voice is very high pitched and she can put on a baby voice whenever she gets into an emotional or vulnerable mood.
  • The Cutie: Sam is very lovable and endearing. It comes with being one of the most genuine and nicest people in the house. She's even more endearing in her robot form. Subverted in Week 4 and onwards. She's not as cute and innocent as she comes across and she does have a very mean, petty and catty side of her personality.
  • The Cynic: Sam is nice and all but boy, is she sure a cynical and pessimistic person. After reaching the brutal robot punishment, she went on a tirade to everyone in the house that they are fake. JC called her out on her cynical and negative attitude and told her to get her shit together. When Haleigh becomes the HOH, Sam is very downtrodden because she had warned Bayleigh "not to lose your shit" and reminded her of the little girls watching to try and set a good example for them. Sam also hadn't expected to last this long in the game and was actively considering quitting it and strongly felt all the houseguests were making fun of her because paranoia had started to wrack her mind, and Haleigh had to hold her and tried to prove she was genuine even when Sam wouldn't accept it and was attempting to deny her misgivings without being fully put at peace.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Sam has admitted to having some personal and emotional struggles in her life. She has gone through excessive amounts of heartbreak when it comes to love and relationships. She has stated that she went through nasty break up with an ex boyfriend back home and that she hasn't really had time to process it or get over it. Sam has openly admitted to suffering from substance abuse problems and has admitted to being The Alcoholic to help her cope with her emotional problems. Sam suffers from serious self esteem issues and may very well suffer from some mental illness issues as well.
  • Death Glare: Sam can have a fairly scary look in her eyes when she's on edge.
  • Desperately Craves Affection: Sam is desperate for friendship and companionship. She seems to be in need of having comfort and support from others.
  • Dissonant Serenity: Her eerily calm description of a curb-stomp to JC scares both him and Tyler. Even more disturbing, the conversation came about because JC didn't understand what "stomp a mud hole" meant, and Sam eventually got to painting the frightening mental image of someone's upper jaw being stomped on the pavement and possibly killed.
  • Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Sam doesn't want anyone to find any reason to look down on her.
  • The Dragon: For Tyler. She's had Undying Loyalty to Tyler since the beginning of the game. Sam is a Yes-Man for Tyler and does whatever Tyler asks her to do. Tyler is also the one person in the house that has the strongest influence and emotional connection with. She's pretty much the Victoria to Tyler's Derrick (BB16).
  • Drama Queen: Sam is tied with Bayleigh for the most dramatic and attention seeking in the house. She constantly blows things out of proportion and makes big deal out of the littlest of things. The fact that Sam is constantly paranoid about being well liked and accepted by the others certainly doesn't help matters.
  • The Dreaded: A lot of the house is too afraid to tell her that they think she's nuts.
  • Dude, Not Funny!: Zing-Bot usually has some wonderful zings, but when he called Sam Bledsoe "real [BLEEP] crazy" to her face, the rest of the house lurched back in terror.
  • Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Whenever Sam is upset or angry about something, her eyes become very dull and vacant. When her eyes do this, it's a very wise idea to leave her alone or stay the hell away from her because it certainly won't be pretty. Chances are if she has vacant and empty eyes, she's one step away from snapping.
  • The Eeyore: Sam can be very cynical and depressing. But this was understandable because in the first week, she had to spend half of her time as a robot which put a serious damper on her social game her ability to bond with the other houseguests. Sam called out the houseguests fake for not being social with her.
  • Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Sam is very sweet, cute and innocent looking but she sure has a rather unstable, volatile and harsh side of her personality that can unpredictably come out to play. Nobody would ever expect someone that looks as cute as Sam would be someone that makes violence threats and have unpredictable emotional outbursts.
  • Fag Hag: Sam has a very close relationship with the two LGBTQ people of the season, which are JC (the token gay male) and Kaycee (the token lesbian). Sam says that JC is one of her closest friends in the house and is one of the most interesting people that she's ever met. And she has had a very close bond with Kaycee since the beginning via her relationship with Tyler.
  • Female Misogynist: Sam openly stated that she prefers the company of men over women. Considering that she works in a highly male dominated professions, it is no surprise that Sam feels more comfortable being in a predominantly male dominant environment. She has made frequently catty and petty comments about many of the other female houseguests, such as Haleigh, Kaitlyn, Rachel and Angela. She has criticized them for not dressing appropriately and showing way too much skin. When Sam was HOH, she made a nomination speech targeting Kaitlyn and Haleigh (her nominees) for their flirting strategy and accusing them of using and manipulating the young men in the house. Sam felt like Kaitlyn and Haleigh were disrespecting the men in the house by flirting with them and using their sexuality to manipulate them into doing what they wanted in the game. Sam has been particularly harsh with Kaitlyn because she doesn't like that she has flirting with three of the guys in the house (Tyler, Fessy, Brett) while she has a boyfriend back home. She doesn't think Kaitlyn has any self respect, morals and values and she believes that Kaitlyn's behavior is the opposite of female empowerment. On the other hand, Sam attacked Haleigh for using flirtation as a game strategy instead of actually doing anything of substance in the game such as winning comps or using smarts to get ahead. Sam also feared that Haleigh's friendship with Scottie may be fake and that she could be leading him on and manipulating him. She criticized Haleigh for possibly not having genuine feelings for Scottie and only using him for game reasons but then treating him as if he's expendable later on.
  • Gender-Blender Name: Her actual given name is Samantha but she's known as Sam by everyone that knows her. Sam is a unisex name that can be used for both men and women.
  • Genki Girl: Sam is upbeat and impassioned. She's a Motor Mouth that once she gets talking, she simply can't stop. She's also a very emotional person.
  • Girl Next Door: She's the epitome of this trope, being a girly tomboy from Virginia and all. She even wears overalls from time to time!
  • Good is Not Nice: Sam shows some shades of this, particularly when she becomes HOH in Week 4. She made clear that the other houseguests could not come into her HOH room uninvited, that she already decided upon who she would nominate, and that none of the houseguests come to her in an attempt to campaign for their safety or find out who she might be nominating for eviction. Her reasoning for nominating Kaitlyn and Haleigh also applies.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Sam has a strong jealous streak in her personality. She's openly admitted that she gets a little bit insecure and jealous of the other girls that she considers to be prettier than her. Sam's reasoning for nominating Kaitlyn and Haleigh may have been driven buy jealousy and envy. Sam may have nominated Kaitlyn because she was jealous of her close bond and relationship with Tyler and Sam wants to be Tyler's number one ally. Meaning that she saw Kaitlyn as a threat to her relationship with Tyler in the game. And Sam nominated Haleigh because she's young, pretty and flirtatious and has many of the male houseguests wrapped around her finger. Sam explained in her nomination speech that she didn't respect Haleigh because all she does is use the men in the house to her advantage. There's no doubt that Sam may feel jealous and insecure next to some of the younger and prettier girls in the house. Sam admitted that she sometimes feels insecure and jealous around Angela and Rachel because they are beautiful and have fit athletic bodies.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Due to her Hot-Blooded nature, Sam does have a fiery and quick temper. She has a short fuse and can easily be set off.
  • The Heart: Sam is the nicest and most caring houseguest of the house by far. There isn't a bad bone in her body which is why she's so popular and well loved outside of the house.
  • Heroic BSoD: Sam has a severely downcast attitude starting Week 6 and wants to quit the game at times, paranoid that the house doesn't care about her and is mocking her. Nobody is actually mocking her, but Sam has seen enough garbage and bullcrap in the house that she is willing to say to hell with it all. Haleigh does her best to restore Sam's faith in people and makes her consider how all the effort she went to and all the information she gave to get into the house will have been wasted and everyone else is in the house and going through this because they are wanting to be there.
    • This was not the first time she had such a crash as during week 1, Sam lost a severe amount of self esteem and broke down in front of Tyler when talking to him because of the fact that she got the brutal robot punishment and was nominated in the first week. She was encouraged to keep going when she won the first power app.
  • Holier Than Thou: Sam can be very morally preachy and believing that she has the strongest morals and values in the house. She constantly criticizes the other girls in the house for being overly flirtatious and that she doesn't respect that kind of strategy in the game. She believes that women who flirt with the men as strategy are not respecting themselves and are being disrespectful to the young men they are flirting with. She goes on rants when someone doesn't clean up in the house and has no issue with calling people out for being unclean. Sam has pretty much declared herself as the Moral Guardian of the house.
  • If I Can't Have You…: In Week 6, Sam discovered that Tyler and Angela were getting closer and closer and that Tyler may have replaced Sam with Angela as his closest ally. Sam was extremely angered by this that she had a complete meltdown to Haleigh threatening to leave and cause trouble. Sam told Rockstar that she wanted Tyler and Angela out of the house because she felt like Tyler was using her and had replaced her with Angela. Once Tyler had a discussion with her and tried to convince her that he wasn't replacing her with Angela, Sam calmed down and eventually came back around to Tyler's side. But God help Tyler if he ever plans on getting Sam out eventually. Sam surely won't take Tyler's rejection and betrayal of her very well and she could turn out to be a bitter juror and a Woman Scorned for Tyler if he shall make it to F2.
  • Incompatible Orientation: Thinks JC is cute, but is disappointed to learn that he's part of "the LGBGT community".
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: Sam seems desperate to be social and make friends but she had a difficult time doing so because of her robot punishment. Sam cried during her DR session that when she was a robot she felt like she was isolated and a loner—that she felt like an outcast and that's not something that she has ever felt before. Although Sam proclaimed that she's an independent person, she stated to Tyler that she wants a partner in this game and wants someone to be loyal to but she's having such a difficult time finding someone that will share loyalty and friendship with her.
  • It's All About Me: Sam can be very self involved and self absorbed despite her compassion and concern for other people. It's part of her desire to get attention from other people and earn affirmation when she's feeling insecure. Sam says the words "Me" and "I" more than anyone else in the house aside from Bayleigh. Then, Sam starts offering deals very late into the game to people she's never talked game to before in the house, and it raises alarm that she's trying too hard to control the votes for purely her own advantage.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Though Sam was initially jealous and skeptical of Tyler getting closer to Angela, she eventually gives Tyler her blessing to team up with Angela if she's evicted in the future. Sam clearly sees that Angela makes Tyler happy and because of that, she accepts it if Tyler chooses Angela over her down the line.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sam usually shows her “jerk” side whenever she gets very frustrated. Other than this she is a sweet girl. It’s shown when she first nominated Kaitlyn and Hayleigh for eviction because they were using flirtation as a strategy and called them out for it but at the veto meeting she comes clean about having the bonus life power app to give both nominees mercy and hope.
  • The Lad-ette: Downplayed. Sam classifies as more of a Tomboy with a Girly Streak. She's a tomboy but she's still very feminine and girly at the same time. Sam is a welder (which is known to be a male dominated career), smokes, drinks, curses like a sailor when angered, has a tomboyish name along with Boyish Short Hair but she's still rather feminine at the same time.
  • Lady Swears-a-Lot: Sam has a very tomboyish potty mouth and drops the F-word and several other swears all the time.
  • Moe: Sam is very adorable, endearing and loveable. She's the epitome of The Cutie and comes across as innocent. However, she does have a very intimidating and scary side of her personality that comes out to play. She's cute, but not cute when she's crossed, hurt or angered.
  • Mood-Swinger: The houseguests are leery around Sam because she is completely unpredictable and can go crazy if she's nominated for eviction. This has caused a few to avoid getting rid of her because they just don't want to deal with a week of bullcrap from her and consider the Double Eviction as the ideal time to send her out. Brett is still willing to work with her despite her tendency for her mental state to be "off the reservation".
  • Moral Guardian: Sam has made herself the moral compass of the house. She constantly reminds people to act a certain way that would be considered respectful. In Week 4, Sam had told everyone in her HOH room that she doesn't want anyone coming into the room without her knowledge or permission. She also tries to lecture people into cleaning up their mess in the house. When she nominated Kaitlyn and Haleigh, she made a speech about how she doesn't have any respect for them because they constantly use their sexuality and the flirting strategy with the male houseguests to go farther in the game. Sam expressed that she felt that Kaitlyn and Haleigh don't respect themselves because of how often they flirt with guy to guy in the house.
  • Motor Mouth: Once Sam gets going on a conversation, she can't seem to stop talking. She becomes especially animated when she's discussing something that she's passionate about.
  • Murder the Hypotenuse: Sam has wanted to get rid of all the women who are close to Tyler in the game or on a personal level. Sam has wanted Kaitlyn, Haleigh and now Angela and even Kaycee out because they have all had a flirtatious or close relationship of some sorts with Tyler. In Week 4, Sam nominated both Kaitlyn and Haleigh because she had no respect for them using flirting as a game strategy. Sam was uncomfortable and jealous of Tyler and Kaitlyn's close relationship and she made it her #1 mission to get her target Kaitlyn out of the house no matter what. Sam also wanted Haleigh out because she's flirtatious with all of the guys and she knew that she had a close relationship with Tyler in Week 1. Sam has hated Haleigh for the longest time just in the same way that she hated Kaitlyn and the common denominator is their connection to Tyler in the game. As of Week 6 onwards, Sam has started to hate Angela and has been targeting her. Interestingly enough, Week 6 was the time when Angela and Tyler grew significantly closer and their relationship got stronger. Sam acknowledged this and felt that Tyler was slowly starting to replace Sam with Angela as his #1 (even though Sam was technically more of Tyler's #2 since Kaycee was always his #1). After finding out about Tyler and Angela's close relationship from Bayleigh and Rockstar, Sam wanted both Tyler and Angela out of the house. She became a Woman Scorned and wanted revenge on both Tyler and Angela because she thought that Tyler betrayed her for Angela and that they were talking bad about her behind her back in addition to betraying her. Sam is highly insecure about Tyler's relationship with Angela and she is constantly asking Tyler for reassurance that she is still his top ally in the game. Since then, Sam has been trying to secretly plot Angela and Halegh's demise out of fear, jealousy and insecurity that Tyler would choose them over her. Not even Kaycee is immune to Sam's distrust since Sam has told Tyler to his face that she doesn't care what happens to Kaycee or if she leaves because her loyalties 100% lie with him. It seems as if any girl that Tyler gets close to, Sam instantly wants to kill in the game, but it's to be expected since Sam is crazy, jealous and unstable and wants Tyler all to herself! Sam even tried to get Fessy to nominate Haleigh when he was HOH and cut a deal to stop smoking just to be rid of her!
  • Neat Freak: Sam is the cleaner and the house maid of the house. She is constantly in cleaning mode and she hates when the house gets messy. In Week 8, Sam had a major Freak Out when she saw how destroyed, messy and how much the house was in disarray because of the Hide and Go Veto POV competition.
  • Nice Girl: Sweet, caring, nurturing and compassionate, Sam is one of the nicest and most genuine houseguests. Just don't get on her bad side or piss her off though. Subverted in the later week. She reveals a not so pleasant or nice side of her personality in Week 4, when she shames both Kaityln and Haleigh in front of the entire house during her nomination speech. She basically calls them sluts and whores in her speech and tells them that she doesn't have any respect for them because they use flirting as a game strategy. She tells Kaitlyn and Haleigh that they both need to have more respect for themselves and that they should stop disrespecting the young men in the house by playing with their emotions. Sam is also jealous, insecure and vengeful. She pretty much hates or dislikes all the younger prettier women in the house such as Kaitlyn, Haleigh, Angela. They have all been her targets because they are attractive and have had flirtatious relationships with the guys, especially Tyler. Sam isn't the sweet, innocent girl next door the she originally came across as and she's revealed herself to be more of a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing and someone who is Cute and Psycho.
  • Not Good with Rejection: Sam takes it really badly when people abandon her or reject her. She's extremely paranoid when it comes to people possibly talking badly about her behind her back or plotting to get rid of her. In Week 6, she had an emotional breakdown when she felt that Tyler was replacing her with Angela as his number one ally in the game. It's clear that Sam has some serious abandonment issues stemming from her Dark and Troubled Past and her romantic relationships troubles. Her fear of being rejected could also stem from her severe insecurities about not being good enough.
  • The Ophelia: There's speculation that Sam has a lot of emotional and mental issues and that she may have an undiagnosed mental illness. Some of her actions and behavior in the house are so out there and zany that people think that something may not be right upstairs. On the other hand, her weird and strange behavior could be strategy but it's been confirmed on the live feeds that Sam takes a variety of prescription medications for a non-specific condition. Sam has also mentioned plenty of times that she has a Dark and Troubled Past and has gone through many personal struggles.
  • Playing the Victim Card: Sam constantly plays the victim card when it suits her. She likes to make herself come across as a perpetual victim by having constant emotional outbursts so that she can garner sympathy and attention from other people. Brett, Angela, Faysal, Haleigh, JC, and Scottie all suspect she's playing the house and have shared conversations about it in private over the live feeds on several occasions. Brett and Angela had a strong discussion about it in particular while sunbathing out in the backyard after Brett won his first Power of Veto and took himself off the block, fearing that she'd win the Jury votes.
  • "Psycho" Strings: Sam starts getting these more and more from production as houseguests and Zing-Bot claim she's crazy.
  • Robot Girl: Part of her punishment for an entire week is to become a robot on and off. When the signal comes on over the speakers, Sam has to change back into a robot and has to be isolated from the rest of the houseguests until she is able to turn back into a human. Poor Sam.
  • Robotic Reveal: Surprisingly, her punishment for finishing last in one of the first three competitions was to be turned into a robot (isolated from the house and made to communicate through a drone with a screen that she controls). The robot even has a silly face that reacts as she speaks.
  • Sanity Slippage: It's been evident that Sam has slowly started to lose her mind week after week. She began acting weird and saying some crazy things that set off the crazy alarm bells. It all came to a head in Week 6. Sam had a complete emotional breakdown after Bayleigh was evicted and after finding out that Tyler and Angela may have turned their backs on her. According to Sam, she told Haleigh that she had come up with some delusional thoughts in her head that those that she loved and trusted the most in the game were making fun of her behind her back. Some people have suggested that the DR or Bayleigh had put thoughts into her head that Tyler and Angela were making fun of her without her knowledge but there has been zero proof that they have done that. In fact, Tyler and Angela have consistently been the houseguests who have shown her compassion, kindness, and patience. She breaks down to Haleigh that she wants to go home because she can't take being in the house anymore. She feels insecure and uncomfortable about the entire situation and she just wanted to go home. It's discovered that the primary cause of her breakdown is that Tyler was abandoning her for Angela and that he had replaced her with Angela because of Tyler and Angela becoming significantly closer during her HOH week. This caused Sam to emotionally spiral out of paranoia and jealousy and she went as far as wanting Tyler and Angela out of the house for feeling betrayed by their relationship. She got into fights with Angela and JC for no good reason. She had numerous emotional breakdowns in the DR where production constantly had to stop her from wanting to leave the game. Production even said that Sam was so mentally and emotionally unstable that there would be a doctor coming in to check Sam's mental health and well being to make sure that she is okay or well enough to stay in the game. It's obvious that Sam has plenty of emotional issues that she hasn't dealt with and is in need of a therapist to help deal with them.
  • Slut-Shaming: During her reign as the Week 4 HOH, she nominates Haleigh and Kaitlyn because she thought that they "took more [from the house] than they gave," and that their flirting with some of the male contestants "took the easy way" to get ahead in the game and was "the opposite of female empowerment." Needless to say, the implications for why Sam nominated them did not sit well with Faysal and some of the other houseguestsnote .
  • Sophisticated as Hell: Sam tries her best to act like a proper lady... who also swears by the bushel.
  • Southern Belle: Sam is from Virginia, which is a Southern state. She's also got a rather noticeably strong Southern accent.
  • Team Mom: Assumes this role after Rockstar is evicted. Sam is the one person who tries to keep the house spic and span, hates messes, fetches the ice, and even put out a bacon grease fire in the oven with a fire extinguisher.
  • Tender Tears: After Bayleigh's eviction, Sam can Not. Stop. Crying. She considered Bayleigh one of her few real friends in the house. The following episode sees her crying fits consume almost a third of the whole runtime, and complaining and cussing about hating the game, the house, and all the fake people. Her carrying on becomes so annoying to some of the other players that they are done with it and want to evict her because she's starting to interfere with their own games and seems to be manipulating people with her emotions (more accurately, her presence was turning the whole house into a gloomy pity party). She goes well beyond crying and into what Cody Nickson dubbed "victim noises". The last time it was this bad was when GinaMarie lost it after Nick's eviction, and that went on for two whole days.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone:
    • Being one of the most unlucky houseguests at the start of the season made her an easy favorite to be voted the most trendy first and given the chance to purchase an Extra Life from the BB App Store.
    • Kaitlyn gives Sam another one when she flips on her alliance and votes to evict Steve, saving Sam in the process.
  • Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Sam has Boyish Short Hair, is tomboyish with a tomboyish nickname, is a welder for a living. But she's still feminine as she's a Southern Belle, wears makeup and jewelry, and has a very feminine, caring, and nurturing type of personality. Before becoming a welder, Sam was actually a hairdresser, a job that is known to be dominated by women.
  • Tyrant Takes the Helm: JC's reaction to her stiff HOH reign in Week 4 reeked of this sentiment.
  • Woman Scorned: Subverted. In Week 6, Sam got so jealous and upset over Tyler and Angela slowly becoming closer. She had a strong feeling that Tyler was replacing Sam with Angela and that Tyler was willing to throw Sam to the wolves in exchange for keeping Angela safe. After finding this out, Sam had a complete emotional breakdown to Haleigh and Rockstar. She was so angry that she was making violence threats and was saying that she is going to tackle Tyler and Angela because of how betrayed she felt by them. Sam went on an emotional tirade for a couple of days and temporarily turned on Tyler and Angela by saying to Rockstar that she wanted both of them out of the house. However, Tyler managed to slowly reel her back in by reminding her the she has always been his closest ally along with Kaycee since the beginning. He tried to convince her that he didn't replace her with Angela and that the F3 deal between Tyler, Kaycee, and Sam was still real and legit. But Tyler could possibly be lying to Sam as he did say to Kaycee and during his DR session that he may be done with Sam and that he may have to cut ties with her because of how overly emotional she is and how much of a liability she is. She's clearly back on his side for now, although there's no telling how Sam is going to react once she finds out that Tyler is manipulating her, lying to her and playing her since he clearly has replaced Sam with Angela in the past few weeks.
  • Yandere: She's a minor one for Tyler. Sam grew so emotionally attached to Tyler in the first couple of weeks and has never been able to let go of her attachment to Tyler since then. The reason why Sam has such a strong emotional attachment towards Tyler is because he was the one person that was there to provide her emotional support and comfort when she was doing the harsh Robot Punishment. Everyone else either avoided or ignored her because they didn't feel comfortable around her. Her attachment to Tyler grew stronger with each passing week to the point where Sam would become extremely jealous and possessive where Tyler was concerned. Sam became very jealous and suspicious when Tyler started to become closer and closer to Kaitlyn in the first couple of weeks. Because of this, Sam hated Kaitlyn with a passion and wanted her out of the house. In Week 4, Sam wins HOH and she nominates Kaitlyn alongside Haleigh (another girl that Tyler had a flirtatious relationship with). She states that she put them both on the block because she didn't like their game strategies of flirting and manipulating the men of the house to get farther in the game. During the week that Kaitlyn was on the block, Sam made her prime mission to get Kaitlyn out of the house. It was obvious that Sam felt threatened by Kaitlyn and hated her for her personal and game relationship with Tyler. In Week 6, Sam finds out that Tyler and Angela have been bonding and becoming closer and closer with each other. This sends Sam into a category emotional meltdown to the point where she's so emotionally distraught that she threatens to self evict in the DR repeatedly while breaking down crying. After finding out that Tyler may be choosing Angela over her and betraying her, Sam becomes filled with rage and vengeance. She goes so far as to turn against her allies of Tyler, KC, and Angela, and joins The Hive side of the house, particularly Rockstar. Sam tells Rockstar that she wants Tyler and Angela out of the house and that she doesn't trust them anymore because she believes that they have both betrayed her and talked badly about her behind her back. Sam has a huge breakdown to Haleigh over being betrayed by Tyler. She curses constantly, threatens physical violence and says that she's gonna be mean and nasty to people from now on. She then goes into creepy mode where she sits alone in the Storage Room while looking at the camera with Dull Eyes of Unhappiness and a creepy smile saying that she's not gonna let her possibility of finding happiness be destroyed because of some idiot that she trusted (the idiot is assumed to be Tyler because she felt betrayed by him at the time). Sam's psychotic moment urged many of the fns to be very concerned over the state of Sam's mental health and that production should keep a vigil watch over her to make sure she doesn't cause any harm to the other houseguests. Once she gets over her anger, she starts to question Tyler's loyalty to her and his relationship with Angela constantly. She tells him repeatedly that she has a deep fear that Tyler has replaced her with Angela but Tyler keeps reassuring Sam that nothing has changed between them despite his growing relationship with Tyler. Sam definitely acts like a Clingy Jealous Girl where Tyler is concerned and she hates the idea of anyone taking Tyler away from her. She views Tyler as her #1 and her ride or die in the game plus there's also hints and signs that she's infatuated with him as well. It's definitely unwise to even think of taking Tyler away from her or Tyler betraying her in any way, because she sure will become a Woman Scorned and act like she's Tyler's Psycho Ex!
  • Yes-Man: She pretty much does whatever Tyler says or asks of her. Her Undying Loyalty to Tyler is so strong that she even openly stated to Tyler that she would be honored to lose to him in the F3 or F2. Almost every single thing that Sam has done in the game has been to benefit Tyler somehow but since Tyler was one of the only people to show her compassion, kindness and friendship in the first few weeks, it's understandable why Sam would repay Tyler with big time loyalty in return.
  • Younger Than They Look: Sam is only 27 but she comes across as older because of how mature and wise she is.

Occupation: Fitness Model
HOH Wins: 3 note 
POV Wins: 2 note 
Nominations: 2note 
Have Nots: 1note 
Prizes Won: 0
Punishments Taken: 0
Finished: Placed 4th (Juror #08)
Evicted: Evicted 1-0 VS. TYLER
HOH Evicted Under: JC (in Week 12)
Voted For: TYLER

  • Action Fashionista: Angela is a competitor and athletic but she always likes to look her best. She's very trendy and fashionable in her style and her clothing. Overall, she's one of the best dressed female houseguests in the house.
  • Action Girl: This is downplayed. Starting from Week 4, and she becomes a much more aggressive player through the use of strategy and competitiveness. She was the one who had flipped the vote on Kaitlyn, buried Rachel's place in the Level Six alliance, and won HOH and POV in Week 6 which resulted in her removing her ally Tyler off the block and backdooring a big fish in Bayleigh. Angela may have been in hiding the first few weeks but she's come out to play in recent weeks and she may go on to be one of the more dangerous players down the line.
  • Action Survivor: Before Week 5, Angela wasn't making that much of an impact in the game. However, come Week 5 and nearing Jury stage, Angela becomes more of an Action Girl and starts to step up her game rather strongly and dramatically. She starts by flipping votes to get Kaitlyn out of the house in Week 4 and then ruthlessly turning on Rachel who is her Final 2 partner and fellow Level Six alliance member. In Week 6, she wins both HOH and POV and takes out a big fish in Bayleigh by backdooring her. Angela definitely has come to play!
  • Affectionate Nickname: Tyler has recently given Angela the pet name or nickname "Angel" and he commonly calls her this every time he talks to her or interacts with her. He's so comfortable with the pet name that he openly calls Angela this in front of everyone else.
  • Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Angela is stoic and level headed. She doesn't show too much emotion which could be very beneficial for her in the game down the line. There are times when Angela comes off as unapproachable or unfriendly because of how icy and cold she is.
  • Alpha Bitch: Not at first, but really takes this trope on when they enter the Jury stage. Angela is pretty, popular, well-liked, a model, and more than willing to do some really mean-spirited, unnecessary put-downs towards others such as Rachel, Kaitlyn, and Bayleigh. In Week 5, she ruthlessly turned against Rachel, her fellow Level Six alliance member and her Final 2 partner. She did so because Rachel managed to have paranoia regarding Tyler believing Bayleigh's lie about him which would have imploded the entire Level Six alliance. As soon as Rachel turned against Tyler and talked badly about him to her over some lie that Bayleigh told Rachel, Angela threw Rachel to the wolves and showed no mercy or remorse for doing it. She is the main reason why Rachel ended up being evicted because she tried to sully her name to Tyler, Brett and Kaycee. After Rachel was evicted, Angela twists the knife in Rachel's back by leaving her a very mean, catty, petty and bitchy Goodbye Message to her. She tells her in the message that she has never liked Rachel in the game because she felt that Rachel has always been shady, untrustworthy and a liar. Angela was also very petty and mean spirited towards Bayleigh in Week 6 when she made a nasty speech to Bayleigh by accusing her of being the Hacker that put Tyler on the block. She told Bayleigh that her power trip is over and she will be going home because she's the Hacker. Angela is very much an Ice Queen and she can sure be nasty and brutal and ruthless if she's ever crossed!
  • Always Save The Boy: When it comes to Tyler, Angela openly admitted in her DR session in Week 6 that she would do anything to save Tyler. She said that she would jump in front of a bus to protect and save Tyler. During the Veto competition, Angela turned down a $5,000 prize so that she could win the Veto and use it to save Tyler from being on the block. Girl is definitely willing to protect her Hilton Head squeeze no matter what!
  • Amazonian Beauty: Angela has a very fit, ripped and toned body and she's a fitness model in the real world. She's not overly muscular and built like Christmas from BB19 was, but she's definitely very fit, athletic and toned looking. Her toned and fit body and the fact that she loves to show it off as much as possible in revealing and tight clothing makes her the epitome of a Ms. Fanservice.
  • The Atoner: Since becoming closer to Tyler in the later weeks of the game, it seems as if Angela is trying to change her ways and become a much kinder and friendlier person. There's no doubt that Tyler has had a very strong impact on Angela having a change of heart and facing some serious Character Development.
  • The Baroness: Angela is the Sexpot version. She's icy, cold, ruthless and also very alluring and charming. She uses her sexuality to get farther in the game and she has no issue with being ruthless and stabbing people in the back. Angela has recently let her icy walls melt a little around Tyler since it's been confirmed that she has a crush on him in her HOH vlog.
  • Battle Couple: Angela is slowly becoming this with Tyler. Since Week 5 onwards, the two have become significantly closer and are being viewed as a power couple and duo in the house by others. Angela and Tyler have been the power players since Week 5 onwards especially after Angela stopped being The Load or furniture and started taking action in the game such as strategizing, flipping votes and winning competitions. In Week 6, they solidified their status as a power duo when Angela won HOH and Tyler influenced her to backdoor Bayleigh. Tyler was nominated by the H@cker (Haleigh) but Angela won POV and took him off the block. This solidified a much stronger bond between the two. Angela was nominated in Week 7 by HOH Haleigh, but Tyler won POV and chose to remove her on the block and repay her for saving him. It seems as if they continue with this type of game dynamic, Angela may become the Amber Birkich to Tyler's Boston Rob Mariano (Survivor). Tyler & Angela are arguably the strongest duo in regards to the game along with Tyler and JC and Tyler and Kaycee.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: The reason why Angela has such loyalty and such a strong soft spot for Tyler is because he was the one person to actually break down her icy walls and bring out her warmer side. Tyler got Angela to open up and express herself emotionally. Before developing a strong bond with Tyler, Angela was icy, aloof, cold and ruthless. Tyler's impact on Angela helped to soften her up quite a bit.
  • Beneath the Mask: Angela comes across as distant, aloof and icy towards others. But it's thanks to her very troubled past and rough childhood. Angela wasn't;t given the luxury of having a regular childhood because she had to follow a strict and gruelling routine as a child athlete. She lacks good social skills and the ability to emotionally connect with other people because she was rather isolated and solitary as a child and didn't get the chance to socialize and make friends like children are normally given. So, to others, Angela came across as very intimidating and unapproachable because of her inability to get close to people. She appears as if she has everything together and that she is a spoiled and entitled person who had everything handed to her since she was a kid but it turns out that it's the opposite. Angela later on showed a different side of her personality once she started to develop a stronger bond with Tyler. Tyler helped her to open up about her troubles and express her emotions more freely and she's been a changed person ever since.
  • Berserk Button: Being called a bitch or heartless. She got very mad during the Veto hiding competition and cussed out the thought of Zing-Bot. Angela is still livid because of what Zing-Bot said a good week later.
  • Big Sister Instinct: Like Sam, she appears to be very protective of Tyler. She admits to feeling a kinship with him because they both hail from Hilton Head, SC. In Week 6 during the POV competition, Angela admitted that she gave up $5,000 so that she could take the Veto and keep Tyler safe by using it to take him off the block. She also said during her DR session that she would throw herself in front of a bus to protect Tyler and keep him safe. May now be considered Ship Tease as Tyler and Angela have been having a flirtatious relationship since Angela won HOH and they may have more than friendship feelings for each other. As of Week 7, Tyler and Angela have almost become a full blown showmance and they have admitted to having romantic attraction towards each other.
  • Birds of a Feather: With Tyler. Both of them share quite a few things in common in regards to their personalties and interests. both of them are highly athletic and love taking care of their bodies-Angela was a strongly athletic person growing up being that she was a pole vaulter, a track and field runner, a gymnast and is currently a fitness model for a living; Tyler is an athlete and played soccer, baseball as well as being a swimmer who is a lifeguard for a living. They are both classic introverts and are very afraid of opening up to people and expressing themselves. Both are very calm, cool collected and generally unemotional-something has to really hurt or upset them for them to lose their cool. Both of them have a love of travelling. Both are from the same area of Hilton Head, SC. Tyler and Angela lampshade that the one thing that caused them to have an immediate kinship early in the game was that they were both from Hilton Head.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Angela plays up the nice girl stuff in the house, but the when the veneer comes down, it comes down hard. The most notable example is when Angela openly admitted to faking being Rachel's closest friend in the Big Brother house in Rachel's goodbye video, after more-or-less singlehandedly flipping the votes against Rachel (who was, at that point, her ride-or-die for final 2) to ensure her eviction.
  • Broken Ace: Angela is beautiful, successful, and smart, but despite having everything that she wants in life, she has battled some serious emotional troubles. Angela has endured a rough childhood on top of having very bad relationships with men which have caused her to have trust issues. Is it any wonder why Angela acts distant and aloof towards others and is afraid of opening up and letting her guard down? She's been hurt so many times and she has endured a lot of emotional suffering since her childhood.unfortunately, everyone in the house has a strong hate hard on for her without even realizing her story and how she grew up. They all just assume that Angela is an ice cold Alpha Bitch and Entitled Bitch who got everything she wanted and is nothing more then a Rich Bitch.
  • Broken Bird: Angela has had a very rough childhood and upbringing. She had a very strict routine and lifestyle growing up as an athlete. She was very isolated and lonely and didn't have time to build a proper social life. With that, Angela became icy, aloof and closed off, afraid to show and expressing her feelings and emotions. She explains how difficult it was for her growing up as an athlete in training on the live feeds to Tyler. Her childhood is one of the many reasons why she turned out to be such an aloof Ice Queen who fears getting too emotional and getting close to people. It's evident that Angela has icy walls and barriers around her to protect herself from getting hurt and showing emotion. Luckily, Tyler has managed to help break down those icy walls and get her express more emotion and talk about things openly.
  • Brutal Honesty: Angela definitely doesn't hold back when it comes to speaking her opinion or her mind. When Rachel as evicted, Angela left a very nasty and mean spirited goodbye message to her. She told Rachel that their Final 2 was as irrelevant as she was in Week 2 since she had won the Least Trending Houseguest. Rachel was taken back by how brutal and mean she was in her goodbye message to her that she was shellshocked. In Week 6, Angela gave a nasty speech to Bayleigh before backdooring her. She told Bayleigh that she was the Hacker, that she told a lot of lies that stirred a lot of trouble and that her power trip would now be over now that she's on the block and going home. Angela sure can be a petty mean girl when she wants to be.
  • Byronic Heroine: Angela is emotionally distant, icy, cold, and aloof? Check. Has a Dark and Troubled Past and battled serious emotional trauma and issues growing up? Check. Is physically attractive, alluring and captivating? Check. Highly intelligent, perceptive, sophisticated, manipulative, cunning and at times, resourceful? Check. Can be highly emotionally sensitive and moody at times? Check. Is very cynical, brooding and jaded due to personal and emotional troubles and trauma? Check. Is very passionate, outspoken, and blunt in self expression and opinion and never holds back what she is thinking or feeling no matter how much it may cause hurt to others? Check. Is strongly ambitious and determined in everything that she does or pursues? Check. Angela is the epitome of this trope in many ways.
  • Character Development: Angela started off as an intimidating, aloof, rude, icy, cold and distant Alpha Bitch who appeared to be entitled, selfish and only cared about her own self interests. As time went on, she developed strong bonds and relationships with people in the house, especially Tyler and Kaycee. With Tyler and Kaycee's influence, Angela has gone from being an Ice Queen and Emotionless Girl to a Defrosting Ice Queen that's revealed a much kinder, caring, friendlier and nicer side of her personality. Turns out that Angela kept up those ice cold walls to keep people away from her because she was afraid of expressing her emotions. She had a Dark and Troubled Past in which she endured mental troubles and social isolation. But bonding with Tyler and Kaycee helped to bring out a different side of her personality. In addition, falling for Tyler and becoming emotionally attached to him also helped to warm and soften up her personality very much.
  • Class Princess: Double Subverted. It was thought Angela would be one the most popular houseguests of the season due to attractive physical appearance and calm, down to earth and low key personality. Nevertheless, she demonstrated her true nature as an Alpha Bitch and Ice Queen within the initial weeks of the game. She was catty, mean spirited and ruthless to many other houseguests both on a personal and game level. However, despite being acting bitchy and mean, she starts to mellow out due to Tyler's influence. Angela's emotional attachment to Tyler gradually thaws her cold demeanor, resulting in a noticeable transformation towards kindness by the conclusion of the game.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Angela is slowly starting to become one for Tyler. She isn't really a fan of the other girls in the house hanging out with Tyler. She has gotten visibly jealous whenever Kaitlyn and Haleigh tried to flirt with Tyler. One of the biggest reasons why Angela wanted Kaitlyn out earlier in the game was because Kaitlyn had a flirtatious relationship with Tyler. Her jealousy over Tyler motivated her to flit the votes against Kaitlyn and get her out of the house. She gets visibly annoyed whenever Haleigh tries to attach herself to Tyler or attempts to flirt with him. It's also one of the reasons why Angela wants Haleigh out.
  • Dark Action Girl: Angela is athletic, tough, fit and competitive...and she's also highly cunning, ruthless and manipulative and isn't afraid to jab a knife in anyone's back if she has to! Angela is arguably one of the smartest and most strategic female players and that makes her deadly and dangerous in the game. The fact that she's a readably good competitor and physical threat makes her extra dangerous.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: While having a discussion with Tyler on the live feeds, Angela confesses that despite growing up with some privilege, she had a very difficult and rough childhood growing up. She has said that she never really had a childhood because she was constantly training to be an athlete since she was five years old. She never had time to make friends or have a social life. Her lifestyle and routine as an athlete was very strict which didn't allow her to enjoy the luxury of a proper childhood because of all the pressure to perform as an athlete. It could contribute to the person that she became as she got older and why she may give off the impression that she's aloof, icy, or unfriendly.
  • Decoy Damsel: Originally, Angela appeared as if she was more of a Damsel in Distress that was being carried by the Level Six Alliance, in particular Tyler who was carrying the alliance since the start. Angela was nothing more than mere furniture and The Load in competitions and many complained that Angela really didn't contribute anything of importance of value in the game. Come Week 6, and Angela becomes extremely manipulative and ruthless and starts picking up the pace in both her strategic and competitive game. She makes arguably one of the biggest game moves of the season so far which is backdooring Bayleigh. Angela also appeared to have loyalty to Rachel, who was her F2 partner and fellow Level Six alliance member. But after Rachel showed paranoia and disloyalty to Tyler and the alliance, Angela threw Rachel to the wolves and ruthlessly plotted to get her out of the house.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Normally Angela is The Stoic and an Ice Queen who doesn't show too much emotion and is rather even tempered. But there are a few people that can break down Angela's icy and aloof walls. Those people include Tyler, Kaycee, Brett and Sam. All of them, especially Tyler brings out her softer friendly, and fun side.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: In Angela's HOH vlog, she openly admits and confirms that she has a crush on Tyler. It's pretty obvious that Angela like Tyler from the beginning but they never got into a showmance because of the game.
  • Emotionless Girl: Angela has a very icy, cold and aloof demeanour and personality. She hardly shows emotion or tells people how she really feels. She is extreme,y guarded and rarely ever lets down her icy barriers. The Zingbot lampshaded this during the Week 8 Veto competition that Angela was emotionless and heartless as a zing.
  • Entitled Bitch: Angela says she always gets her way in her goodbye message to Rockstar. Rockstar had frequently called Angela an "Entitled Princess" with the very high belief that Angela was spoiled, privileged and entitled while growing up and that she got everything handed to her. But it seems as if Angela didn't have that much of a privileged childhood growing up. She was forced into a strict routine as an athlete and didn't have the luxury of having a happy and fulfilling childhood. Instead, she grew up lonely, isolated and depressed along with suffering from emotional and personal issues that caused her to close herself off to others.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Going from one of the quietest players for the first five weeks to one of the very meanest as soon as the last eviction before Jury transpires.
  • Everyone Can See It: the majority of people can tell that Angela is attracted to Tyler and likes him. Her flirtatious relationship with Tyler has recently become the talk of the house amongst all of the houseguests and there's many polarizing thoughts about the two of them. Some people support them (Fessy and Kaycee) and others don't support them (Brett, Haleigh, Sam, JC).
  • Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Angela is very beautiful and looks like she would be innocent and quiet, but she's actually extremely petty, catty, bitchy as well as cunning and manipulative. She can easily and ruthlessly turn on people and not feel bad about it. She plotted the demise of her Final 2, fellow Vixen, and Level Six alliance member Rachel behind her back and felt zero remorse for it. To rub salt into the wound, Angela left a very biting and nasty goodbye message to Rachel which took Rachel by surprise.
  • Faux Action Girl: Invoked Trope. Angela was targeted week one for being a physical threat (having won one competition by chance and giving Swaggy a run-for-his-money on an endurance competition). Her response was to throw every single competition to get the heat off her and onto other people. As of Week 6, she's no longer throwing comps, and she won immediately after she stopped.
  • Femme Fatale: Angela is obviously using her sexuality and flirting to get farther in the game. Pre-season, Angela stated in her interviews that she would be willing to use her feminine wiles and her sexuality in order to get farther in the game.
  • Four Is Death: Angela was unable to win the Head of Household competition at the Final 4, which would have guaranteed her safety and a spot in the Final 3. This was because she was the outgoing Head of Household. She was nominated alongside her showmance partner Tyler by JC, who won the Final 4 Head of Household competition. She lost the Final 4 Power of Veto competition to Kaycee, which would not only have prevented her from eviction but also denied her the opportunity to cast the sole vote to evict. She is voted out over Kaycee by a single vote, ending her chance at reaching the Final 3 with her Level Six alliance members, Tyler and Kaycee. Poor Angela.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: For most the pre-jury phase of BB 20, Angela was lying low, throwing comps, and making no waves to keep a target off her back. As she got closer to jury, Angela played harder (flipping the house to evict Kaitlyn and Rachel) and the claws came out with just how viciously and personally she'd gun for people.
  • Hated by All: Angela is generaly unpopular and widely disliked by her fellow houseguests. Angela's unsociable demeanor and lack of social skills make her more disliked than other guests. Furthermore, her ruthless and manipulative tactics have caused her to become alienated from numerous individuals. The houseguests who dislike Angela the most are JC, Sam, Bayleigh, Rockstar, Scottie, Fessy, and Haleigh. JC's dislike for Angela stems solely from her relationship with Tyler. He sees her as a threat to his personal relationship and his alliance with Tyler in the game. JC's animosity towards Angela is rooted in jealousy and envy. He was determined to end Tyler and Angela's relationship and evict Angela from the house. During the Final 4, JC successfully dismantles the power couple by nominating them for eviction and ultimately eliminating Angela from the competition. Both Sam and JC dislike Angela because they are jealous over Tyler. Sam expressed concerns that Tyler was prioritizing Angela over her, which made her feel scared and insecure. She was furious about Tyler and Angela's increasing bond in Week 7, to the point where she considered targeting them and evicting them. Sam's dislike of Angela may be due to her being a beautiful young model, as Tyler is attracted to her. Bayleigh harbors resentment towards Angela for feeling betrayed by both her and Tyler, albeit indirectly. In Week 6, Angela surprised Bayleigh by unexpectedly nominating her for eviction. Bayleigh was surprised because she considered Angela a personal friend, despite Bayleigh informing Tyler that Angela would be a replacement nominee if Rachel or Brett were taken off the block the previous week. Bayleigh's hostility towards Angela stems from a sense of betrayal and mistreatment. Rockstar despises Angela because she views her as a spoiled, privileged, and entitled princess who has had everything handed to her on a silver platter. Rockstar's animosity towards Angela stems from jealousy and envy, which are fueled by her youth and attractiveness. Angela has been the target of strong dislike since the beginning of the game, despite never personally offending Rockstar in the house. Rockstar unfairly judged Angela based on assumptions about her background and appearance, assuming she was just another privileged girl benefiting from her looks. Scottie holds a negative opinion of Angela, believing that she has had a detrimental impact on Tyler's performance in the game. During the live eviction speech, Scottie ridiculed Tyler and Angela's showmance and made disrespectful remarks about their relationship. It is likely that he dislikes her because she has been targeting members of his alliance. Fessy holds a grudge against Angela for betraying him in Week 9. Despite recently forming an alliance with her and Tyler, she nominated both him and Haleigh for eviction. Fessy felt deceived and betrayed by Angela, perceiving her as unnecessarily rude and mean towards him and Haleigh. She, along with the other Hive members, actively targeted him and his allies. Haleigh developed a dislike for Angela due to a combination of strategic reasons, personal distrust, and jealousy. Haleigh perceived Angela as a threat in the game and believed that Angela would target her. Haleigh distrusted Angela because she betrayed and mistreated Bayleigh, who was not only her closest ally but also her best friend in the house. Haleigh is also jealous of Angela and has openly expressed her disapproval of Angela and Tyler's close relationship. Haleigh has always wanted a stronger personal and strategic bond with Tyler, but she feels that Angela gets in the way. According to the jury, more than 90% of them admitted that they would willingly vote against Angela if she made it to the Final 2. Their strong dislike for her is clear. Much of the animosity and resentment towards her, especially from the female houseguests, stems from petty jealousy.
  • Head-Turning Beauty: Considering that Angela is a beautiful fitness model with a toned, athletic body and a nice face, it's not shocking that she would be appealing to many of the male houseguests such as Tyler, Fessy, Brett, and Scottie all of whom have admitted they find Angela physically attractive. She wears a lot of clothing that reveals her athletic body and adds to her sex appeal. This makes Angela a certified Ms. Fanservice.
  • Hidden Depths: On the live feeds, in a private HOH Room conversation with Tyler during her second HOH reign, Angela thinks that production's going to paint her into a mean and heartless bitch. She doesn't like that characterization. She's also cunning enough to put a showmance on the block and play it off as Haleigh going up in return for Haleigh putting Angela up and disguise the plan to eliminate Fessy and furthermore avoid upsetting Sam by putting her on the block and trying to backdoor Fessy to get the least blood on her hands as possible.
  • Hidden Heart of Gold: On the surface, Angela is a ruthless, aloof, icy Ice Queen that can ve very blunt, sarcastic and rude. But underneath that icy facade is someone that is actually kind hearted, caring and compassionate. Angela is afraid to appear vulnerable and express her emotions mostly due to her rough upbringing and childhood that caused her to close herself off socially and emotionally.
  • Ice Queen: Angela is very aloof, icy, standoffish and cold. She doesn't have the strongest social skills or social game and others have felt that she's intimidating to talk to because of her icy demeanour. There are only a few people that can break down those icy walls and bring out her warmer side and those people include Tyler, Brett and Kaycee. Angela starts to become a much warmer and open person willing to expose more emotion after getting much closer to Tyler. Tyler has most definitely broken down her icy exterior and has helped her to reveal her kinder and warmer nature.
  • Jerkass: Angela can definitely be one of the cruelest and meanest houseguests in the house. She has made some pretty nasty comments about the others. Angela has a habit of making mean nomination speeches to people such as Bayleigh, Fessy and Haleigh plus making mean goodbye messages to evicted houseguests such as Rachel and Rockstar. In Angela's goodbye message to Rachel she was especially a mean girl with no mercy. Angela told Rachel that she turned against Rachel because she had lied to her and proved to be disloyal to their alliance. She twisted the knife into Rachel even more when she said that she was as irreverent as she was in Week 2 since she was the lead trending houseguest of that week and won the Crap App. Rachel was taken back and shell choked by how mean and rude Angela was to her ion her goodbye message to her that she simply uttered "WHAT'S WRONG WITH ANGELA?!". Angela's goodbye message to Rockstar was no better either. Angela goaded to Rockstar that she's an Entitled Bitch and a spoiled princess because she got exactly what she wanted which was Rockstar being evicted. When Angela backdoored Bayleigh in Week 6, she made a brutally honest and harsh speech to Bayleigh accusing her of being the Hacker and calling her out for having a power trip for the entire game. In Week 9, Angela blindsided Fessy and Haleigh by not only nominating them but by telling them that they were too stupid and easily fooled to make an alliance on Day 60+ in the house. Angela is one of the bitchiest and meanest houseguests but that doesn't mean that she doesn't have a good heart and isn't a decent person underneath the mean girl facade.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Angela can be very mean, cruel, ruthless and bitchy. But she does have a genuinely good heart underneath the bitchy facade. Much of her bitchiness is because of her very Dark and Troubled Past where she endured a lot of emotional and personal struggles that caused her to close herself off emotionally.
  • Knight Templar: Angela is one of the most logical, strategic and ruthless players in the house. She's willing to cut throats if she feels it will benefit her or her alliance. Such as in the case with turning on Rachel and blindsiding her. Once Angela found out that Rachel had thrown Tyler under the bus and had believed Bayleigh over her own alliance, Angela kew that it was time to cut ties with Rachel. She also viewed Rachel as a liability that could have imploded the Level Six alliance because of her paranoia. After Rachel was blindsided during her eviction, Angela acted even more ruthlessly when she left her a very mean spirited and nasty goodby message as to why she turned on her. She pulled the same ruthless and cut throat gameplay with Bayleigh when she decided to remove Tyler from the block with the POV that she won and backdoor Bayleigh. While backdooring her, Angela made a very mean and scathing speech at the POV ceremony accusing her of being the H@cker that put Tyler on the block and almost jeopardized his game and the Level Six alliance. Sh also told Bayelguh that her power trip was over and that she would no longer be trying to act like a dictator trying to control the house and threaten people with power. Angela is probably the most cut throat and ruthless player in the house next to Tyler.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Angela receives a solid blow after evicting Rachel. During Rachel's eviction week, she turned on her brutally because she believed Rachel was lying about Tyler's disloyalty to Angela and the rest of Level Six. She blindsided Rachel by not only voting to evict her but also leaving a very nasty goodbye message, in which she called her a liar and irrelevant. Angela wins the Head of Household competition in Week 6, marking her first victory of the season. As a result, she becomes smug and haughty. Haleigh unexpectedly hacks Angela's HOH reign by winning the Hacker competition. She surprises and catches Angela and everyone else off guard by nominating Tyler, who is not only one of her closest allies but also a member of her alliance. This was a huge blow to Angela, both game and personal wise. Angela felt like some of her power as Head of Household was taken away from her and she liegitmately feared that she was going to lose Tyler under her HOH. During the Final 4, Angela faces the consequences of her actions when she is nominated for eviction alongside Tyler, the man she had recently admitted to falling in love with, by JC, who unexpectedly won the Head of Household competition. She loses the Veto competition, a competition which would have secrued a spot in the Final 3, to Kaycee. Kaycee casts the sole vote to evict Angela, ending her chances of winning Big Brother. Angela discovers in Tyler's goodbye message that he had been dishonest with her during the game. Tyler admitted to Angela that he had made a Final 2 agreement with Kaycee from the beginning of the game and that he had a Power App since Week 2. Angela expressed feeling hurt and betrayed by the fact that Tyler had kept so many secrets from her. Maybe this is karma for Angela, who has been involved in Tyler's dirty work throughout the game and has many houseguests' blood on her hands.
  • The Leader: Subverted. Angela appears to be the dominant figure within the alliance, assuming the role of leader and making all the important decisions. However, it becomes very obvious that Angela is Puppet King for Tyler. Tyler has been the primary orchestrator of strategic maneuvers and game decisions since the inception of the game on Day 1. Angela, on the other hand, is the person who attentively heeds Tyler's strategic input and effectively implements his schemes and plans. In essence, Angela assumes responsibility for doing all of Tyler's dirty work, thereby ensuring that she gets the blood on her hands. Tyler has a much better social game than Angela so the title of leader is more suitable for Tyler. Tyler's leadership position is solidified by the fact that all three remaining members of the alliance (Brett, Kaycee and Angela) have established a Final 2 agreement with him, whereas Angela only had a Final 2 deal with Rachel, who was evicted in Week 5 and had an unofficial showmantic Final 2 arrangement with Tyler.
  • Living Prop: Earlier in the season, Angela was often referred to as "furniture" by fans because she was always in the background. She didn't make any notable contributions or have a significant presence on the live shows. She was a member of the Level Six alliance but received no screen time or attention on the show. Tyler's standout gameplay garnered all the attention from both the shows and the fans. After becoming Head of Household in Week 6, she finally receives more attention. She solidifies her position on the show and among the fans by making a significant move to backdoor Bayleigh. Fans were excited to see that Angela had officially became part of the game and was ready to finally play Big Brother. Her blossoming romance with Tyler brought her even more attention in the later weeks of the game.
  • Love Redeems: Tyler has had a strong affect on Angela and her Character Development into becoming less of a bitch and a villainess and someone who is more kind, caring, nice and compassionate towards others. Angela was a very cold, icy, rude, and aloof person who seriously kicked in social etiquette and social skills. She came off as very intimidating to other people in the house and nobody seemed to really reach past those icy and solid walls that Angela kept up as a defence mechanism. It was revealed that the reason Angela is so aloof, icy and cold in general is because of her Dark and Troubled Past and rough childhood. According to Angela herself, she told Tyler her life story on the live feeds and that she had a very rough and lonely childhood growing up. She was a trained athlete who lived constantly by a strict schedule, routine and constant pressure to perform in athletics. As a result of the enormous pressure that she felt growing up, Angela became depressed and suffered from eating disorders. She didn't have much of a social life growing up and she didn't have the chance to build social bonds and emotional ties to other people. Tyler is the person who has had the most emotional influence on Angela, growing from an Ice Queen and Emotionless Girl to a Defrosting Ice Queen. Angela admits to Tyler that she is the reason she is starting to feel real emotions again after such a long time of feeling numb.
  • Manipulative Bitch: Angela is extremely manipulative, cunning, strategic and has zero problem with cutting throats in the game. When she wants someone out, she wants them out! In Week 4, Angela flipped the vote against Kaitlyn when Kaitlyn ended up running her mouth to Angela and got her entire alliance to vote her out. When Angela found out that Rachel was throwing her and the rest of the Level Six alliance, especially Tyler under the bus to Bayleigh, Angela ruthlessly turned on her and plotted her eviction with Tyler. Angela turned so much against Rachel that she started to make personal attacks about her behind her back. But at the same time, Angela would pretend that she was okay with Rachel and that she would be staying even though she was stabbing her in the back. To make matters worse, Angela had a Final 2 with Rachel and she didn't seem to care that she was putting a knife in her back so brutally! Angela is probably one of the most scheming, conniving, and manipulative girls in the house.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Angela is an attractive fitness model who shows off the majority of her body for a living. She wears a lot of revealing clothing and is constantly seen wearing a bikini or a bathing suit revealing her athletic and toned figure. One of Angela's signatures is wearing tops and clothing that reveal her flat and toned stomach. She's constantly seen wearing sports bras and crop tops that show off her midriff.
  • No Social Skills: Angela is very socially awkward, icy and aloof. She's not the best in social situations and prefers to be around people individually or in small groups. Part of the reason why Angela isn't such an overly sociable person and comes across as aloof and anti social at times is because she revealed that she didn't have much of a social life growing up whole training as an athlete. She is therefore socially stunted and didn't have many connections during her childhood. Because of her social awkwardness, the weakest aspect of her game overall is her social game. Her lack of social skills may contribute to her desire to make rude comments or make nasty Goodbye Messages to evicted houseguests-she doesn't seem to understand the concept of jury management.
  • Not Good with Rejection: Surprisingly, Angela admitted to Tyler during a conversation about love, relationships and dating that she doesn't handle being rejected by people very well. The reason why is because she's normally very reserved with expressing herself and her emotions. When she gets close to someone or attached to someone emotionally, she expects the person she likes to reciprocate her feelings. If they don't, she takes that as abandonment on her behalf.
  • Not So Stoic: Normally, Angela is stoic, aloof and icy. But there are certain people and situations that can make the girl seriously let those emotions out like a flood gate. One of them is discussing her past and her troubled childhood. She breaks down crying when discussing how hard she had it growing up due to the constant pressure of growing up as an athlete. Angela has admitted that Tyler and his influence has helped he be able to express herself more freely and openly regarding her emotions and her personal matters.
  • One of the Boys: Angela admitted in her pre-season interviews that she prefers the company of men over women and that in the game, she would prefer to work with guys over girls. It makes sense that she prefers to work with men in the game since it seems that all of her targets have been primarily women.
  • One-Steve Limit: Subverted. She shares a first name with Rockstar (whose first name is Angela), however, the former goes by Angela while the latter goes by Rockstar.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: Has been telling Bayleigh that she wants her to be Big Brother's first black winner... when she plans to backdoor and evict Bayleigh in mere days, clearly intending to use race as a way to upset and target Bayleigh.
  • Puppet King: She's this for Tyler. Though it appears as though Angela is the mastermind behind the powerhouse Level Six alliance, it's actually Tyler that is pulling the strings behind the scenes and making Angela do all of his dirty work for him. He has a magical ability of making it seem as though Angela is the one making the moves when it's actually him. He did the same thing to Kaitlyn when she was HOH when he had persuaded and manipulated her into backdooring Swaggy C and turning on the FOUTTE alliance to join the Level Six side of the house. In Week 6, Tyler was the mastermind behind Bayleigh being backdoored. Angela initially wanted to target either Scottie or Fessy but Tyler steered her in the direction of getting rid of Bayleigh because of how dangerous she is due to controlling the opposing side of the house plus having a very powerful and game changing power app.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: During her HOH reign, Angela went after Bayleigh because she thought someone was playing both sides of the house. Tyler was being targeted by Bayleigh and believed the H@cker was her. Angela was not only horribly wrong but totally off the mark. Haleigh went after Tyler and was playing for herself. The one detail Angela got right was that it was somebody who felt threatened by Tyler personally, so she decided to pile blame on the one person with the most to lose if Tyler got his way that week.
  • Ship Tease: With Tyler. Since Week 6 onwards, Tyler and Angela have gotten very close. They have been in the same alliance (Level Six) since the beginning but there's signs that Angela and Tyler like each other more than friends. In Week 6, Angela admitted that she had a crush on Tyler in her HOH vlog. Tyler has also admitted to liking Angela and finding her attractive to Kaycee. In Week 7, Tyler admits to Kaycee that he wishes he were in a showmance with Angela.
  • Smug Smiler: Angela can crack a grin that is so confident it makes people shudder.
  • Southern Belle: Angela is from the South as she's originally from Hilton Head, South Carolina. Interestingly enough, she doesn't have a Southern accent despite being from the South.
  • The Stoic: Angela is very much an Ice Queen and rarely lets any emotions show. She's very good at not letting her emotions get the best of her and she remains very calm and collected even in an unpredictable and crazy game such as Big Brother. Because of how unemotional she comes across, many people have commented that they find her aloof and icy.
  • Sweet Tooth: Angela is obsessed with eating puppy chow and licks her fingers clean after mixing cookie batter.
  • True Companions: With her Level Six alliance members Tyler, Brett, Winston, Rachel and Kaycee. She's particularly close with Tyler and Brett out of all of her alliance members however.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Angela wrongfully targeted Bayleigh in Week 6 as the person she was sure was the H@cker (she was totally wrong) and made herself look like a complete idiot as well as drove Bayleigh to have a meltdown.

Voted For: TYLER

  • Abhorrent Admirer: JC turned into one for Tyler. JC has a very creepy and weird obsession and infatuation with Tyler and he's gone to extreme lengths to try and get Tyler away from the women in the house. Even though Tyler is heterosexual and has no desire to engage in a homosexual relationship with a guy (even though Tyler is a strong supporter and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community), it hasn't stopped JC from wanting Tyler to be in a relationship or showmance with him. JC is so infatuated with Tyler that he's referred to Tyler as being "his house husband". He's admitted to numerous people in the house including Fessy, Haleigh, Brett and Sam that he's infatuated with Tyler and that if he had to pick a guy in the house to be with forever, it would be Tyler because of how attractive and charming he is. Tyler does love JC as a friend and an ally in the game, but it's very evident that Tyler is uncomfortable with JC's infatuation with him. Tyler makes light of JC calling him and the other guys in the house such as Brett, Scottie, Fessy and Winston, gay and he takes it as a joke. In the recent weeks, Tyler has been getting closer to Angela and they are slowly building into a showmance of some sorts. JC has noticed Tyler and Angela's bond and has openly admitted to being jealous and skeptical of it. JC constantly tries to stir the pot in order to keep Tyler and Angela apart. He's done things such as follow Tyler around the house on a daily basis, watching Tyler and Angela sleeping to make sure that they aren't cuddling or sleeping in the same bed at night (creepy!), or getting Brett to flirt with Angela purposely knowing that Brett does find Angela physically attractive, even though Angela has never expressed romantic interest in Brett. JC's antics regarding Tyler and his flirtatious relationships with the women have rubbed Tyler the wrong way and there have been plenty of occasions where Tyler looked downright creeped out, annoyed, irritated or angered by JC's behavior and attitude regarding him.
  • The Ace: JC may not be the strongest physical competitor as he has yet to win a competition into Week 9. But he has one of the best strategic and social games in the entire house. Because of how strong he is socially and strategic, he's one of the top players to make it to the end if he wins a few competitions towards the end of the game. JC's other impressive feat in the game is that he doesn't get nominated until there are so few players left in the house that he is one of the only real options left, and wins one crucial competition that changes the course of the game (JC won Head of Household at the final four and prevented his imminent eviction).
  • Action Survivor: JC did not win any competitions until the Final 4 and is not considered a physical competitor, despite his athletic capabilities. He achieved success in the game by using strategy and having a excellent social game. He managed to survive in the house due to the presence of numerous other prominent targets and competitors. The first time he was nominated for eviction was in Week 11, but he was only used as a pawn and was not the intended target. It is impressive that he made it to the end without winning many competitions.
  • Agent Peacock: JC is very flamboyant, extroverted and effeminate in his attitude and mannerisms. He flaunts his sexuality and is very evidently proud to be gay. But that doesn't negate from the fact that JC is also one of the strongest and most dangerous players in the game. Though JC lacks in competition prowess, he's a strategic and social badass. He's pretty much Frankie Grande from BB16 but without being a beast at competitions or a physical threat.
  • Aggressive Categorism: Subverted. JC has made some ignorant comments during his time in the house particularly about politics and race. However, none of this comments have any malicious or ill intent. During a fight with Bayleigh in Week 4, JC had used the N word to make an argument as to why Bayleigh using the M word (which is "Midget") is just as offensive. JC argues that using the M word is offensive to the Little People community in the same fashion that using the N word is offensive to the Black community. JC may appear as if he's bigoted and ignorant since he's openly stated to be a "Trump supporter" and those who support Trump are often labelled as being ignorant, bigoted and uneducated. But JC has said that while he's fiscally conservative, he's socially liberal. If anything, its Bayleigh and Rockstar that are far more ignorant, intolerant, judgmental and bigoted towards other groups of people than JC.
  • Affably Evil: JC is a friendly, affable and sociable guy as he's got one of the strongest social games in the house. But that doesn't mean that he won't turn on people or throw people under the bus when he has to. He'll backstab people he doesn't care for on a personal level or those that he doesn't trust on a game level. An example would be his relationship with Rachel. He pretended to be Rachel's friend every time he interacted with her, but he secretly has wanted her out for weeks and was plotting against her. JC sure is a tricky and sneaky one especially because he's so good at appearing friendly and supportive.
  • All Gays are Promiscuous: JC has bragged on the live feeds that he's had numerous sexual partners, claiming to have slept with 40 different partners. Whether that is true or not remains uncertain.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: JC is obsessively in love with Tyler but Tyler is straight and not into JC in any way. Tyler is in a flirtmance borderline showmance with Angela, who he has had a crush on since the start of the game. JC is very jealous about Tyler and Ange'a relationship and has gone through extreme lengths to keep them apart of try to separate them. Tyler is clearly fed up with JC and his constant harping about his relationship with Angela. Tyler has openly stated that he doesn't like JC like that because he's straight and likes women. Because of JC's jealousy, Tyler has started to distance himself from JC and has even mentioned during one of his recent DR sessions that he has the intention of targeting JC sooner than later and taking him out.
  • All Men Are Perverts: JC is a highly sexually deviant and flirtatious person. He's touched and fondled people inappropriately in the house such as grabbing and rubbing Tyler's crotch without consent, grabbing Angela's vagina, and grabbing Rachel;'s boobs. Fortunately for him, nobody in the house has actively complained about JC's inappropriate touching or claiming sexual harassment.
  • Alpha Bitch: Gender-Inverted. JC is really catty, mean and petty. He's a drama king and a prima donna who can be very bossy, controlling and full of himself. He tries to have complete dominance over people, especially the men of the house. He had control over Fessy and made all of his decisions for him. he pretended to be his friend but he was actually throwing him under the bus and bashing him in his DR sessions. He calls Fessy dumb and unintelligent and he does so with a laugh and a smile. He thinks that he controls Tyler and has him under his thumb. He clearly thinks that Tyler is a dumb surfer dude and has no brains or intelligence to make his own decisions. JC seemingly underestimates Tyler and tries to treat him like his controllable puppy dog that he can boss around. He's also very possessive, jealous and territorial where Tyler is concerned. His most petty and catty moments come out to play when it concerns Tyler. JC has been jealous of all the girls that Tyler has had flirtatious relationships with. JC was extremely jealous of Kaitlyn and seriously wanted her out of the house because je was upset and angry about Tyler and Kaitlyn's flirtatious relationship. JC often lectured Tyler about his relationship with Kaitlyn by trying to talk down to him about him constantly flirting with her. But his motivation for getting Kaitlyn out of the house was based on pettiness and jealousy. He slowly started to build an Irrational Hatred towards Angela as soon as Tyler visibly and noticeably became closer to her. Since then, JC has slowly began to lose his mind and his sanity regarding Tangela and he's resorted to extreme methods to keep the two apart. He's gone as far as to scheme and plot against Angela by throwing her under the bus to many houseguests hoping that she would become a target. He stalks Tyler and Angela at night to make sure that they aren't in the same bed together doing romantic stuff. He's even sprayed Febreeze on Angela's favorite heart eyed emoji pillow which smells like her because Tyler loves that particular pillow simply because it has her scent on it. He's schemed and plotted with Brett and Haleigh to cockblock Tyler and Angela when they are in the same room or are spending time together. JC has a very bitchy, catty, petty and jealous attitude and he consistently makes mean spirited jokes and comments about other people. He's an absolute pain to production and it's evident that production is tired of his prima donna attitude.
  • Always Camp: JC is a member of the LGBTQ+ community and is very proud of it. He's also a professional dancer for a living. Many gay men are a part of the dance world or the theatre world.
  • Ambiguously Bi: JC is flamboyant and is identified as gay. However, he has shown some questionable behavior towards several members of the house both male and female such as his infamous ice cream scooper incident and an indecent comment made towards Kaycee. And then there was his infatuation with Robot!Sam.
  • Arch-Enemy: ANGELA! JC has a personal vendetta against her and has been trying to get her out of the house for weeks. Much of his personal disdain for Angela stems from feeling threatened by her on a competitive level and her close bond with Tyler. JC views Tyler as his closest ally in the house, and it disgusts him to see Tyler and Angela together. JC has gone so far as to claim that Angela was manipulating Tyler and using him for the game. He expressed to Tyler his belief that she would end their relationship once the season concludes, as he feels she is out of his league in various aspects. Tyler started becoming insecure about where he would stand with Angela once the game ended, leading to an emotional breakdown in the final days. He has consistently been paranoid about Tyler favoring Angela over him in the game and he's not wrong about his assumptions. JC has been determined to remove Angela from the house starting from Week 9. He conspires with Brett, Scottie, and Sam to form an alliance and get Angela out. In the Final 4, he finally achieves his goal of eliminating Angela. He wins the Head of Household (HOH) competition and nominates her and Tyler together. Kaycee wins the Final 4 Veto and chooses to vote her out over Tyler. JC's targeting of Angela was largely driven by jealousy, and his dislike for her was purely personal.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: JC has displayed numerous moments of arrogance throughout the game. He seems to believe that he has complete control in the game and that he has manipulated everything in the house. In Week 11, JC is blindsided when he realized that he was being played by Tyler, someone who he thought was gullible, naive and was being manipulated by Kaitlyn and Angela. JC was arrogant enough to believe that Tyler would never put him on the block such as what he did during the Double Eviction when Tyler used him as a pawn in order to execute his plan to backdoor Brett.
  • Attention Whore: JC is one of the most loud, extroverted and flamboyant personalities in the house. He thrives on attention and when he doesn't get it, he gets very pouty and sulky.
  • Badass Adorable: JC isn't the strongest competitor in the house, but he makes up for it by being excellent on a social and strategic level. He was one of the most dangerous and deadly players, yet he was never a huge target because of how under the radar he played.
  • Bald of Evil: JC decided to shave his head and is one of the most conniving, scheming, cunning and dangerous floaters in the whole house.
  • Berserk Button: Tyler's relationship with Angela definitely irked JC's goat. He was jealous of their bond and felt like Angela was manipulating Tyler. He would constantly berate Tyler about getting involved with Angela and told him that she would ruin his game. JC made it his mission to break up Tyler and Angela. When he won the Final 4 HOH, he nominated the both of them, with his target being Angela. His HOH was a success as Angela was evicted when Kaycee voted her out.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: JC is the least prevalent threat in the house. He survived all the way to the halfway point without being put up on the block once— though he did have a close call with Bayleigh in that regard— and has never won a single competition, either. JC has floated the entire time unannounced and managed to slip past bigger targets and draw attention to people he thinks could be easy to manipulate or he can come up with feasible excuses to say they're not trustworthy and use to take the fall.
  • Big Eater: JC has a passion for food and can often be found in the kitchen, cooking up something delicious. JC makes food for many of the houseguests. He admitted during a live show segment that he was strategically making food for the houseguests in order to make them gain weight. His reason for doing this was to make the other houseguests fat and out of shape so that he can outcompete them in competitions.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Everyone thought that JC was going to be a funny, hilarious and entertaining houseguest and that he wouldn't be the second coming of unpopular token gay male houseguests like Frankie Grande from BB16 or Andy Herron from BB15. Turns out that he's just as unlikeable, vile and hateful as them. JC has revealed his unlikeable personality because of how arrogant, loud, attention seeking and annoying he is. He constantly breaks rules and goes against production and he doesn't care whatsoever. He has made many controversial comments and actions such as sexually assaulting numerous houseguests. JC is definitely not the decent houseguest that he appeared to be in the beginning.
  • Born Lucky: JC does not win any competitions at any point in the season up until the final four, when it is him versus the solid final three alliance of Level Six. Then, JC wins HOH and guarantees he will survive in the house up to the final three, when not having HOH would have meant he would definitely be nominated and have to rely on winning the Power of Veto. This ensures that he has control over the nominations and Level Six must eliminate somebody. JC obviously wants Angela to go, because he knows the jury has plenty of people mad at her and being responsible for her eviction would look wonderful on his game resume.
  • Both Sides Have a Point: Regarding the N-Word Privileges with Bayleigh. On one hand, he realized he did wrong, listened to her warning, and tried to connect with Bayleigh on a personal level as to why words like that or "Midget" were bad. On the other, he still should not have said the N-word, and shouldn't have gone around asking why Bayleigh was so offended.
  • Brains and Brawn: The Brains to Faysal's Brawn. JC has a lousy competition record but a cunning social game, so he relies on Faysal's brawn.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: Invoked by JC by comments he made on the live feeds where he was just sitting around in the house and after talking to Kaitlyn felt very depressed and almost suicidal, and suspected she projected some thoughts into his mind to make him feel that way like she "poisoned" him. Brett found this hilarious.
  • Brutal Honesty: JC is known for his straightforward and honest nature, always speaking his mind regardless of how unpleasant or controversial his thoughts may be. His honesty and passionate, opinionated nature have gotten him into trouble on multiple occasions.
  • Camp Gay: Downplayed. He is more Straight Gay in how he carries himself but he does have some campy, flamboyant and effeminate qualities. He is rather masculine because of how athletic he is and the fact that he is a Gym Bunny who seems obsessed with lifting weights. His campy side has a passionate love for dancing and theatre.
  • Can't Take Criticism: JC constantly criticizes other houseguests but whenever he is called out on his behaviour, he doesn't take it well.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Though JC is Affably Evil towards the other houseguests, he largely embraces being a villain during his Diary Room sessions. He seems happy to lie and backstab people and shows no remorse for it.
  • The Chessmaster: JC is a highly strategic player and he uses his strong abilities in strategy to manipulate events in the house to his liking. He strategically orchestrated numerous blindsides in the early part of the season to create chaos within the opposing alliance and sow doubt and mistrust among the members of the FOUTTE alliance. JC's schemes and manipulations were successful because the FOUTTE alliance fell apart as a result of JC and Tyler's machinations.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: JC has backstabbed nearly every single person in the house. He does this by gaining game information from houseguests and then ratting them out to Tyler or the Level Six alliance so that they become targets. He's backstabbed Rachel, Bayleigh, Rockstar, Haleigh, Fessy and Angela. He doesn't have much loyalty to anyone except Tyler, his ride or die and who he is deeply infatuated with.
  • Consummate Liar: If JC is opening his mouth, he's lying. There's nothing honest about JC and his lies has gotten numerous people evicted. The only person who JC has been somewhat honest with in the game is Tyler.
  • Constantly Curious: JC is one of the most curious and nosy houseguests of the season. He can give Andy Herren from Big Brother 15 a run for his money. JC has a habit of constantly appearing in many places throughout the house and interrupting multiple interactions and conversations between houseguests. This is part of his strategy to gain game information and leverage it to his advantage. JC would frequently use this tactic whenever Tyler and Angela were alone in a room together. He acted out of paranoia, fearing that Tyler and Angela's personal and game relationship would deepen.
  • Control Freak: JC has a constant need to be in control of everything and everyone in the game. He feels compelled to share his opinions about the game with others, even when his opinions or thoughts are not warranted. JC woud act pushy regarding who shoud be nominated or evicted. JC has a bossy, controlling, and domineering attitude. He exhibited a bossy demeanor towards Fessy, attempting to control and manipulate him into doing his bidding. He has consistently attempted to manipulate and control Tyler. However, JC was unaware that Tyler could see through his tricks and tactics, rendering them ineffective. Tyler was the one manipulating, playing, and controlling JC throughout the entire game. JC realized that he had no influence over Tyler when he blindsided him during the Double Eviction by nominating JC and backdooring Brett.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: He gets so creepily jealous where Tyler and Angela are concerned. JC outright follows Tyler around the house to make sure that he's not cuddled up with Angela in bed. JC has frequently warned Tyler to not get into a showmance with Angela because he feels it would be detrimental for Tyler's game. But it sounds more like JC doesn't want Tyler to get with Angela because he's jealous that he would choose Angela over him in the game (and he's right!).
  • The Cutie: Subverted. JC is physically adorable because he is the smallest and most innocent-looking houseguest of the season. However, he is more of a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. He may appear adorable, but he exhibits numerous negative traits in his personality and behavior within the game.
  • Deadpan Snarker: JC is more of a Large Ham when it comes to his jokes and sense of humour but there are times when he can be very deadpan and serious when he's delivering jokes. Either way, JC is a pretty sarcastic and humorous person.
  • Defector from Decadence: JC had been aligning with the Level Six alliance from the beginning, even though he had been playing the middle. He had been voting and playing the game with the Level Six side while simultaneously outplaying and blindsiding the opposing side of the house (FOUTTE). JC and Brett began scheming to turn against some of the Level Six members as the number of houseguests started to dwindle. Angela and Kaycee were the members JC and Brett turned against. JC turned against them and wanted them out of the house because he saw them as a competitive threat. He also wanted Angela out because of her personal relationship and close connection with Tyler.
  • Depraved Homosexual: JC has a very creepy and obsessive interest and infatuation with Tyler. Since Tyler has become closer to Angela, JC has made it known to Tyler and everyone that he doesn't want Tyler and Angela getting into a showmance with Angela out of fear that it would ruin his game. But in actuality, JC is just jealous that Tyler is spending time with Angela and he wants Angela out of the way so that he can have Tyler to himself. He has pulled similar behavior with Fessy but to a less creepier extent. JC has wanted Haleigh out because of her close relationship with Fessy, but overall, JC is much more obsessive about Tyler and Angela being together. Brett and Tyler joke that it's the other way around and that JC might actually be pretending to be gay because he has showered with all the women and seen everything that the guys can't, and would be so pissed if at the end of the game he said "I'm straight!" and had fooled the girls into showing him their bodies.
  • Desperately Craves Affection: JC desires Tyler's affection and attention specifically. Whenever Tyler is with Angela, he gets very jealous and uncomfortable. He wanted Tyler's affections so much that he made it his mission to split up Tyler and Angela. JC even wishes that Tyler was bisexual so that he could return his feelings of infatuation.
  • The Determinator: JC is highly determined, tenacious, and persistent. When he wants something, he'll do anything, included underhanded tactics, to achieve what he wants. JC was determined to get Kaitlyn evicted in Week 4, despite Tyler's opposing wishes. JC engaged in a heated argument with Tyler over the decision to vote her out and persistently criticized Tyler for wanting to keep her in the house. JC accused Tyler of wanting to keep Kaitlyn because he was in love with her. Tyler, of course, objected to this accusation. Tyler eventually succumbed to JC's wishes and agreed to vote out Kaitlyn, but only after JC persistently persuaded him. He was also determined to break up Tyler and Angela, primarily out of jealousy. He wanted to target Angela so that he would have Tyler all to himself. He achieved success by winning Head of Household (HOH) at the Final 4, resulting in the eviction of his intended target, Angela. JC won't stop when he wants to achieve a mission and he managed to achieve his goals and missions in the game.
  • Dirty Coward: JC has been hesitant to be put on the block as a pawn, despite being one of the safest houseguests in the house. Yet, he has no problem with consistently sacrificing others to be nominated and targeted. When Fessy used the Veto on Haleigh in Week 4, Sam considered putting JC up as a replacement nominee. This almost caused JC to have a temper tantrum on the spot. During the Double Eviction, he became extremely upset when Tyler nominated JC as a pawn in his attempt to backdoor Brett. He berated Tyler about it for days and sought revenge by nominating him and Angela against each other when he won HOH in the Final 4. It appears that he is willing to sacrifice anyone to the chopping block, other than himself or Tyler. He is extremely timid and becomes anxious even when he is merely being used as a pawn to go on the block, even though no one actively targeted him or tried to get rid of him.
  • Disc-One Final Boss: JC, one of the strongest social and strategic players of the season, is finally evicted when Kaycee emerges as the winner of the Final HOH competition. It is shocking that JC managed to get all the way to the Final 3, even though he was an extremey dangerous player. He was responsible for alot of the blindsides and chaos in the game.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: JC's clear infatuation with Tyler significantly influenced many of his strategic decisions in the game. JC was a highly strategic player who was always in game mode. However, there were times when his strategic moves became personal. His strong desire to evict Kaitlyn in Week 4 was fueled by her relationship with Tyler and his belief that she was manipulating and using him for game purposes. His personal vendetta against Angela was largely fueled by her romantic involvement with Tyler. He wanted her to leave the house because he felt jealous and believed that Tyler was losing his focus in the game because of her.
  • The Ditz: He apparently thinks that there are 600 billion people on Earth, and that Hamlet is based on The Lion King (1994) (rather than the other way around).
  • The Dragon: JC plays this role to Tyler, who is portrayed as a very mild-mannered Big Bad in the game. JC believes he is in control of Tyler, but it is actually the opposite. He believes that he is the strategic mastermind behind the game and is using Tyler to execute all the moves. Tyler has been manipulating JC and leading him to believe that he is unaware of what is happening. Tyler successfully employed the Obfuscating Stupidity strategy to deceive others and appear less threatening, fooling JC throughout the entire game. JC has shown unwavering loyalty to Tyler and is willing to do anything for him in the game.
  • Dragon with an Agenda: JC has remained loyal to Tyler throughout the game. However, JC and Tyler have frequently disagreed on game strategies. In Week 4, Tyler and JC had significant disagreements about sending Kaitlyn home. Tyler wanted to keep Kaitlyn in the game because he believed he could manipulate her and use her as a number for his alliance. JC, on the other hand, had a strong desire to evict Kaitlyn. He wanted Kaitlyn out because he believed she was too unpredictable and had a close relationship with Tyler. JC was concerned that Kaitlyn was using and manipulating Tyler. JC won the battle against Tyler, resulting in Kaitlyn's eviction that week. Tyler and JC had another disagreement, this time concerning Angela. Tyler wanted to keep Angela as his ally and romantic partner. JC wanted Angela out because she posed a threat in the competitions and because she had a close relationship with Tyler. JC successfully evicted Angela at the Final 4, achieving his goal. The ast remaining disagreement between them was whether or not to eliminate Brett. JC believed that Tyler backdooring Brett was detrimental to their game. Tyler believed it was the best decision for his own game since he was gunning for Angela and Kaycee, who had been extremely loyal to him throughout the entire game. Tyler and JC have a strong bond of loyalty, but they have also had their fair share of disagreements when it comes to the game.
  • Drama Queen: JC has such a dramatic and over the top personality. He likes to be the centre of attention and makes a big deal out of everything in order to get said attention. If something doesn't go his way, he throws a huge temper tantrum. He makes every little situation into something bigger than it needs to be and it is no wonder why so many of the houseguests find JC to be extremely annoying and irritating.
  • Driven by Envy: Many of JC's game moves have been motivated by jealousy or envy. His desire to have Kaitlyn and Angela evicted were because they were two women in the house who had close bonds and relationships with Tyler, who JC admits to being infatuated with.
  • Drunk with Power: JC abuses his power as the Head of Household (HOH) during the Final 4 and manipulates it to his advantage. He nominates Tyler and Angela as payback for using him as a pawn during the Double Eviction. Once he realizes that he has the opportunity to break up the showmance and power couple of Tyler and Angela, he goes on a power trip.
  • Effeminate Misogynistic Guy: JC has made misogynistic comments about several female houseguests, including Bayleigh, Haleigh, Kaitlyn, Rachel, Angela, and Sam. Angela and Kaitlyn bear the brunt of JC's personal attacks because they are the closest to Tyler. JC has made personal attacks on the appearances and personalities of Kaitlyn and Angela. He has repeatedly engaged in slut-shaming Kaitlyn and Angela and holds the belief that both of them are counterfeit and inauthentic. JC was determined to eliminate both Kaitlyn and Angela. He wanted Kaitlyn out because he believed she was manipulating and taking advantage of Tyler. He strongly dislikes Angela because she forms a bond with Tyler and Tyler reciprocates her feelings.JC despises Angela to the point where he is determined to become the Head of Household (HOH) and ensure her eviction.In Final 4, he successfully accomplishes his mission of evicting Angela from the house.
  • Entitled Bastard: JC has a diva-esque and entitled attitude. He believes that everybody has to do what he wants and if they don't he throws a tantrum. He never wants to go on the block, even if he is the safest houseguest in the game. It always has to be JC's way or the highway.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: JC is definitely more of a villain in the game, but he does genuinely love and care for a few houseguests, namely Sam, Rockstar, Fessy, Kaycee and Tyler. He has Undying Loyalty to Tyler and genuinely saw him as his ride or die.
  • Evil Feels Good: JC seems to derive pleasure from insulting or trash talking people he dislikes on a personal level. He has gossiped about almost every houseguest, with Angela being his main target of criticism and dislike. When he wins HOH and nominates Tyler and Angela, he becomes intoxicated with power. When Angela, his target, is finally evicted, he feels extremely excited. He also enjoys blindsiding the FOUTTE side of the house on a weekly basis.
  • Evil Genius: JC is highly intelligent and one of the top strategic players of the season. He is one of the most manipulative houseguests this season, second only to Tyler. His schemes and machinations throughout the game have been advantageous for him, but they have also brought chaos and destruction to the Hive alliance.
  • Evil Gloating: He gloats during his Diary Room sessions whenever he has made game moves which benefit him. He takes pleasure in lying, deceiving and backstabbing others or manipulating others to do his bidding.
  • Evil Is Hammy: JC is a Large Ham character and he plays up a hammy villainous during his Diary Room sessions. However, he has more of an Affably Evil persona when he interacts with the other houseguests. This makes it harder for others to read JC's villainous and underhanded intentions.
  • Evil Is Petty: JC is known for being one of the biggest gossipers and trash talkers in the house. He has criticized numerous houseguests without justification. He is also driven by jealousy, which is evident in his focus on certain female houseguests like Kaitlyn and Angela. This stems from his desire to have Tyler exclusively for himself.
  • Face–Heel Turn: JC started out as a fairly decent yet controversial houseguest but his intense obsession and infatuation with Tyler has caused him to spur into villain territory. Since his feelings for Tyler have intensified as the game went on, JC has become increasingly mean spirited, jealous, manipulative, back stabbing and vengeful. He's resorted to doing some very crazy, irrational and underhanded actions in the name of his strong infatuation for Tyler.
  • False Friend: He played this role to Rachel and Fessy. He pretended to be their friends, only for him to backstab them and vote them out of the house. JC admitted that though he likes Fessy on a personal level, he has zero respect for Fessy on a game level because he thinks that he is a dumb puppet that he can manipulate and use to do his dirty work in the game. He hated Rachel on a personal level and found her annoying, unpredictable and terrible at the game. He did express some sadness at voting out Rachel though.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Once JC's villainous nature is revealed in the game, it becomes difficult for him to appear charming, likeable, or genuine. Every time he tries to be nice, it comes across as insincere to the fans.
  • Foregone Conclusion: JC loses the first two parts of the final HOH Competition against a final two alliance formed near the very start of the season, so he had no chance of avoiding eviction from that point on. Kaycee and Tyler celebrate knowing they will definitely take each other to the end and win a lot of money.
  • For the Evulz: JC likes to make up lies, frame other houseguests and makes hinky votes to create paranoia within the house and cause trouble for his own amusement. He even brags about his antics in his Diary Room sessions.
  • The Gadfly: JC enjoys pestering the houseguest and roughhousing, with Tyler being a special favorite. On a gameplay level, he's also this. JC deliberately cast a rogue vote against Rockstar at the fourth eviction that got Kaitlyn sent out when it should have been a unanimous decision. He did this knowing it would trigger a lot of drama in the house and he could use it to his advantage.
  • Gay Best Friend: To Tyler, Angela, Sam and Faysal. He considers all of them to be his closest friends and allies in the game, especially Tyler and Faysal, both of whom are heterosexual.
  • Gay Conservative: JC is politically conservative but self-identifies as gay. He also placed an LGBT flag on the dining table in the middle of the hall as recognition of his community and to pay respect to it.
  • Gay Guy Seeks Popular Jock: JC has openly admitted to finding Tyler, who is a lifeguard and a swimmer, very attractive. He's expressed that he wishes Tyler were bisexual or even gay at times, although he does this in joking manner. He's also very close with Faysal, who is also a popular jock as he was a football player during his college days.
  • Gayngst: JC dealt with issues coming out and chats with Kaycee about this shared problem. JC's grandmother is the one person in his family who couldn't accept him as gay when he came to terms with his orientation being different. JC tried to seriously tell her that he thought he was gay or bisexual when he first started to realize he wasn't letting gender get in the way of his feelings for others. She then asked if he was going to get a girlfriend and get married and put him on the spot at the family dinner table shortly after he told her as if to spite him or force JC to say what she wanted to hear him say.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: WHOO BOY! Is JC ever a jealous little one! He's especially green with envy where Tyler is concerned. He has wanted Haleigh, Kaitlyn and Angela out of the house all because these are the three girls who have had some kind of bond or flirtatious relationship with Tyler. In Week 8, JC openly admitted to Tyler that he was very jealous and envious of his relationship with Angela and that he wanted Tyler to stay away from Angela so they don't develop into a full blown showmance.
  • Groin Attack: JC's Mission to Planet Veto was compromised by a Vetonium strike to his galactic bulge.
  • Gym Bunny: JC is the token gay male of the season and he loves the gym. In his houseguest intro, he was seen working up a sweat in the gym. He loves to pump iron and this was seen during his time in the house.
  • The Heavy: JC is clearly the season's main antagonist because of his consistent scheming, lying, and manipulation. He has exhibited inappropriate behavior towards the other houseguests and has a strained relationship with the show's production team. However, although JC may be portrayed as the clear villain in his Diary Room sessions, it is Tyler who is the Big Bad of the season. Tyler's manipulative tactics and control over the majority of the game make him the ultimate mastermind of the season
  • If I Can't Have You…: JC has threatened that if Tyler doesn't have complete and undying loyalty to him throughout the game, then he would have no problem with nominating him and possibly evicting him. Of course, JC could just be making threats to scare Tyler into being loyal to him, but the fact that he even said such a thing to Tyler means that he's possibly serious about wanting Tyler to be evicted instead of not having loyalty to him 100%. In Week 12, JC wins HOH and decides to nominate Tyler to get back at him for nominating him in Week 11 during Double Eviction. To add salt to injury, JC nominates Tyler next to Angela, his romantic partner and his Arch-Enemy who he's ben actively targeting for weeks.
  • Incompatible Orientation: JC has a strong infatuation for Tyler, but Tyler is straight and only shows romantic interest in women. Therefore, his infatuation with Tyler is completely unreciprocated.
  • Innocently Insensitive: He caused controversy when he informed Bayleigh that referring to a little person as a "Midget" is comparable to referring to her (A black person) as the N-word.
  • Insufferable Genius: JC thinks he much smarter than everyone in the house. He constantly brags about how good of a strategist he is and how great he is at manipulating people to do what he wants. Whenever he outsmarts others, he pats himself on the back during his Diary Room sessions.
  • Irrational Hatred: Towards Angela. The two started out as friends at the start, but eventually, JC grew to have embittered and hateful feelings towards Angela. Much of JC's hatred and strong dislike towards Angela stems from Angela growing closer to Tyler and developing a relationship of a romantic nature with him. As soon as Angela became close to Tyler, JC took notice and started to target Angela hardcore. His reasons for hating Angela are nothing but pure envy and jealousy because he feels that Angela is stealing Tyler's attention and loyalty away from him. Since discovering that Tyler and Angela have been developing a romantic relationship, JC's hatred towards Angela has caused him to go to extreme lengths to get Angela out of the house, even resorting to manipulating houseguests like Brett and Fessy to target her. Angela, on the other hand, isn't aware of how much JC actively despises her and has been targeting her behind her back. JC's jealousy and hatred of Angela shines whenever he ends up trash talking Angela to the other houseguests and letting them know just how much he despises her. But JC isn't alone in his irrational feelings of dislike towards Angela. Other houseguests have a strong dislike or hatred for her such as Bayleigh, Rockstar, Scottie, Fessy, Brett, Haleigh and Sam. Interestingly like JC, all of these houseguests dislike of Angela stems from her relationship with Tyler as nearly all those houseguests who have expressed disdain towards Angela are jealous of Angela getting Tyler's attention and loyalty instead of them.
  • Insistent Terminology: Some people think JC is a dwarf, and they are mistaken. JC is not a dwarf, because he went to the doctor and learned he is exactly 5 feet tall, and that is just enough to be considered only really short.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold <—> Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: JC oscillates between the two tropes. Though he may be seen as a scheming, lying, and manipulative person in the game, the majority of his actions are actually based on strategic thinking. However, there have been instances where he has made game moves that are purely personal, petty and malicious in nature. He has singled out certain houseguests, including Angela, for personal reasons. He has a disturbing obsession with Tyler and has made inappropriate advances towards him, even though Tyler is straight and interested in Angela. He has engaged in personal attacks and made derogatory comments about many of the other houseguests, displaying a dirty and unethical gameplay. However, he possesses a fun-loving personality and enjoys bringing laughter to his fellow houseguests as much as possible. He genuinely cares about some of the houseguests on a personal level, including Tyler, Fessy, Sam, and Kaycee and he considers them to be his friends.
  • Keet: JC has a lively and energetic personality. He is a complete ball of energy. JC is a Motor Mouth who can't stop talking once he opens his mouth.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: In Week 8 HOH, JC competes in the famous challenge where houseguests navigate a greasy floor trying to fill a container with liquid transferred in a funnel. The challenge often includes a prize money alternative for those who believe they're not going to win or want the money more. JC struggles so much in the first few minutes of the comp that he starts filling up the $5,000 incentive before the live eviction episode even ends.
  • Lack of Empathy: JC demonstrates a lack of remorse for deceiving, plotting against, and betraying both enemies and friends. He showed no sadness when his friends Rachel, Sam, Fessy, and Rockstar were evicted. The only houseguest he felt remorse for when they were evicted was Brett because his departure did not benefit his game.
  • Large Ham: JC is a very hammy, dramatic and over the top personality. He exaggerates everything about himself and he plays it up in his Diary Room sessions.
  • Like an Old Married Couple: Fans have commented that some of his interactions Tyler make them come off as a bickering married couple who never agree on anything. Their actual relationship is that of Vitriolic Best Buds.
  • Love Hungry: JC has an intense crush and infatuation with Tyler and he's willing to go through all the lengths to get Tyler to showmance him despite the fact that Tyler is heterosexual and loves women. JC has even called Tyler "his house husband".
  • Love Makes You Crazy: JC has been doing some very strange things in order to have Tyler all to himself. He's plotted with other houseguests to try and break up Tyler and Angela having alone time together. JC has used Brett as a puppet so that he can get him to flirt with Angela. He follows Tyler around the house to ensure that he isn't spending alone time with Angela. He's even tried to imply that Tyler is bisexual or gay to other houseguests so that they don't attempt at flirting with him. JC is getting progressively creepier and creepier with regards to his infatuation with Tyler.
  • Love Makes You Evil: JC's intense infatuation and creepy obsession Tyler has slowly started make JC slowly do a Face–Heel Turn and start to veer into villain territory. In the name of his crush and love for Tyler, JC has become more and more petty, mean and villainous with time in his desperation to have Tyler all to himself. He's resorted to acting very mean and petty towards Angela and has been plotting her demise behind her back. JC clearly wants Angela out of the way because he wants to be Tyler's #1 and he feels that Angela being in the house stands in the way of that. He's become significantly more ruthless, cunning, scheming and backstabbing and has been willing to resort to some extreme strategies and methods in order to have Tyler to himself.
  • Malaproper: JC's pronunciation of the English language is Played for Laughs. There were a couple of segments on the live shows where his pronunciation of words was highlighted. For instance, he tends to pronounce words that begin with "y" as "j" and words that begin with "h" as "y". He mispronounces the words yin and yang as "jin" and "jang" and the word hiatus as "yatus". Tyler finds JC's mispronunciation of words to be highly amusing. Most of his mispronunciations can be attributed to his heavy Spanish accent.
  • Manipulative Bastard: As soon as Fessy's showmance with Haleigh becomes a liability, he starts to control Fessy by making him jealous by claiming Scottie has feelings for Haleigh. He turned Fessy into his "big dumb puppet".
  • Manly Gay: Though JC displays some effeminate qualities and has some campy interests such as singing and dancing, he's very masculine and athletic. He has many male oriented interests and hobbies such as weightlifting. Not to mention that he is very macho and muscular when it comes to his physical appearance. He takes pride in his body and has the physique of a bodybuilder.
  • Marathon Boss: JC was one of the hardest houseguests to get out of the house. JC was such a strong strategic player with an excellent social game that nobody was actively targeting him. He's finally evicted at Final 3 when Kaycee wins the Final HOH.
  • The Millstone: JC has performed poorly in competitions. He couldn't seem to win any type of competition, whether it was physical, skill-based, or mental. He never contributed equally in competitions to prioritize the safety of himself and his allies. Instead, he had to rely on his allies to win competitions in order to ensure his safety. His allies were emerging victorious in competitions, leaving a trail of bloodshed in their wake. Meanwhile, JC was not getting any blood on his hands and was coasting through the game. Many of his allies, including Tyler and Brett, complained that JC was not contributing enough in the game and appeared to be a liability to them. It wasn't until he was carried all the way to the Final 4 by everyone else that he finally won an HOH competition. The Final 4 HOH competition is designed to minimize the winner's involvement in strategic moves, while the Veto winner holds the most crucial role. JC proved to be valuable in terms of strategy and social gameplay, but he did not contribute to helping his allies or the Level Six alliance win competitions or eliminate members from the opposing Hive alliance.
  • Motor Mouth: Once JC starts talking, he can't stop talking. He is an excellent conversationist and is very persuasive. He talks a mile a minute and as a result, others can't aways understand what he is saying.
  • Murder the Hypotenuse: JC has always hated Kaitlyn and wanted her out of the house because she had a close bond and flirtatious relationship with Tyler. JC admitted to having a crush on Tyler and wants Tyler all to himself so he made it his number one goal in getting Kaitlyn out of the house so that he could rope Tyler back in. Now that Kaitlyn is gone, Tyler has gotten closer to Angela and they have began to have a bit of a flirtmance. JC os extremely jealous of Tyler and Angela's relationship and he has been targeting Angela in secret and plotting her demise behind her back. Again, JC wants Angela out of the house so that Tyler will be by his lonesome and will only have JC to depend on in the game and on a personal level.
  • Muscles Are Meaningful: Subverted. JC, despite being athletic and muscular, did not leverage these qualities to his advantage during the game. He has never won a physical competition, but he did win a mental competition. JC's success in the game had little to do with his physical strength or athleticism. His success in the game can be attributed to his strategic and social skills.
  • No-Damage Run: JC received zero eviction votes until the Final 3 when he was evicted by Kaycee after she won the Final HOH. The fact that he managed to get that far in the game despite only winning one competition is very impressive.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: JC doesn't understand the concept of personal space or personal boundaries. Many of the houseguests have complained about JC not respecting people's space and him getting to close to them to the extent that it makes them uncomfortable.
  • Not Good with Rejection: JC clearly hates it whenever Tyler doesn't give him the attention that he wants. He hates when Tyler chooses to hang out with any of the other houseguests other than him, namely Angela. In fact, one of JC's biggest Berserk Buttons is Tyler's relationship with Angela. Every single time that Tyler spends time with Angela, he becomes a very hateful, bitter and jealous Person consumed with the need to get Angela out of the house. JC has also made it clear that if Tyler doesn't take him to the end (meaning Final 2), he's going to be very bitter and have scorned feelings towards him. Add onto the fact that he also said that if Tyler continues a relationship with Angela outside of the house and once the game is over, he's going to be out for blood.
  • Odd Friendship: His relationship with Tyler can be viewed as unconventional and quirky. Tyler identifies as heterosexual, while JC identifies as homosexual. It is often considered unusual for heterosexual men to have close relationships with gay men. The only other friendships on Big Brother that involve a straight man and a gay man are Matt and Ragan from Big Brother 12, and Derrick, Caleb, and Zach with Frankie from Big Brother 16. Their personalities and presentation styles are completely contrasting. Tyler possesses a calm, cool, and stoic personality, while JC is more extroverted, passionate, and emotional in temperament. Tyler exudes a relaxed surfer persona, while JC embodies a campy yet macho athletic persona.
  • Older Than They Look: He was 28 at the time of the season but he doesn't even look like he's old enough to drive! That's mostly thanks to him being a little person. JC had said that people constant;y misinterpret his actual age simply because of his short stature.
  • Only in Florida: JC is originally from Miami, Florida. However, he's currently residing in California.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: His first and middle name is Joseph and Charles, but he prefers to go by JC, which is an initialization of his first and middle names. All of the houseguests and the people he knows call him JC.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's easily the shortest houseguest being only 4'8", but extremely fit and muscular. Too bad that despite his athletic physique, he's not that much of a powerhouse competitively and he hasn't won a single competition as of yet. One would think that since JC is small and athletic that he would dominate physical and endurance competitions, but he's always one of the first few to be eliminated from them.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: JC has strong friendships and relationships with Kaycee and Sam. The reason for his close relationship with Kaycee is that she is a member of the LGBTQ+ community and shares a minority status with him. JC and Sam have a close personal relationship. JC has always provided comfort to Sam during moments of hopelessness and defeat in the game. JC is always there to give Sam a pep talk and advice whenever she doubts herself.
  • Playing Both Sides: JC, along with Tyler, had been actively playing both sides of the house. JC is more of a free agent compared to Tyler, who remains loyal to the alliance known as Level Six. JC has consistently sided with the Level Six alliance in regards to game moves and eviction votes, but his loyalty lies solely with Tyler. Whatever Tyler wants in the game, JC almost always does what Tyler wants. JC is unaware that Tyler was part of a six-person alliance at the start of the game and saw himsef and Tyler as the houseguests playing the middle.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: JC is undoubtedly the season's source of entertainment and comic relief. His Diary Room sessions are always entertaining and over-the-top because he portrays a Large Ham character. An example of him providing comedic moments on live shows is when he deliberately tried to make all the houseguests gain weight in order for them to perform poorly in competitions. Another humorous segment involving JC is his tendency to mispronounce words because of his strong accent. Additionally, his humorous antics during the live vote and evictions were entertaining which would always elicit laughs from the live audiences. JC may have been problematic, but there's no doubt that he provided plenty of comedic moments on the live shows.
  • Properly Paranoid: JC is constantly getting caught up paranoia regarding Tyler and his relationship with Angela. When Tyler got closer with Angela, JC slowly deteriorated. He repeatedly tried to break up Tyler and Angela out of fear that Tyler would choose Angela over him in the competition. Plus, it doesn't help that JC has romantic feelings for Tyler and that he's jealous of Angela.
  • Puppy-Dog Eyes: JC's most noticeable facial feature are his big brown puppy eyes. It's so easy to be deceived by JC because of this physical trait. His endearing eyes may be part of the reason why he had so many houseguests fooled whenever he was lying to them.
  • Real Men Cook: JC and Sam are the resident cooks of the house. JC is constantly in the kitchen preparing meals for the other houseguests. During a segment on a live show, JC confessed that he was intentionally cooking for the other houseguests in order to make them gain weight. He did this in order to sabotage their performance in the competitions while improving his own performance in them.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: JC, a slightly Macho Gay male, is often seen wearing pink clothing and accessories. Despite displaying some effeminate qualities and occasionally wearing pink clothing, he actually has a very masculine appearance and enjoys traditionally masculine hobbies.
  • The Resenter: JC harbors strong animosity and resentment towards Angela. Much of his resentment towards Angela stems from her close personal and game relationship with Tyler. JC feels like the odd one out in Tyler and Angela's relationship, causing him to worry that Tyler will prioritize Angela over him in the game. His suspicions about the closeness between Tyler and Angela are not unfounded. However, the way he has chosen to express these sentiments has not been beneficial for him in the game.
  • Sanity Slippage: JC started to lose his cool when Tyler and Angela got closer to each other. JC first noticed that they were openly saving each other from the block during Angela's HOH week. During a House Meeting that Haleigh called to admit she was the Hacker that put Tyler upon the block, Bayleigh and Tyler got into a huge fight which caused Tyler to emotionally break down and run to Angela for emotional support and comfort. It was then that Tyler and Angela started to get closer on a personal level. JC had dropped subtle warnings to Tyler to not get too attached to Angela for game-related reasons. As time went on, JC's paranoia and jealousy over Tyler and Angela's relationship became more obvious to Tyler and the rest of the houseguests. JC repeatedly tried to separate Tyler and Angela whenever they are in the same bed, room or in each other's vicinity, and bothers Tyler about the nature of his relationship with Angela. JC had Brett flirt with Angela to annoy Tyler or get other houseguests to target Angela for eviction. He resorted to watching Tyler and Angela sleep on different occasions, and got into Tyler's bed while ignoring Tyler's objections. JC crosses the line in Week 9 when he decides to climb into Tyler's bed and inappropriately touches him while he's sleeping. The other houseguests are extremely annoyed and irritated with him because they are done with his behavior, attitude and antics.
  • Shorter Means Smarter: JC is the shortest houseguest of the season, measuring at 4'8". He is not only one of the smartest houseguests, but also one of the strongest strategic and social players of the season. Since JC was not a good physical competitor, he had to make up for it in regards to strategy and social game.
  • Sissy Villain: JC is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous players, often embracing the role of the villain. He seems harmless and unimposing on the surface. This is attributed to his small stature, occasional Camp Gay tendencies, and his Affably Evil and friendly nature.
  • Sitcom Archnemesis: JC is prone to several comical fights with Tyler, including attacking each other with toothpaste and a fight in the bedrooms (much to the chagrin and exhaustion of the person operating the "no horsing around" warning).
  • Slimeball: JC has one of the slimiest, sleaziest and most dishonest personalities in the game. He has consistently deceived, plotted against, betrayed, and manipulated numerous people. After making underhanded game moves and using sleazy tactics against others, he derives pleasure from them and displays no remorse for his actions in the game. He has made inappropriate advances towards Tyler, who is a straight male, and has also made misogynistic comments about several of the female houseguests. He manipulates people's emotions for his own gain in the game. He has exploited people's vulnerabilities for his own benefit. JC is one of the most cunning and deceitful houseguests of the season. In the game, Tyler may be a snake –– charming, cunning, manipulative, and slimy, but JC is undoubtedly a rat –– sneaky, sleazy, shady, and untrustworthy.
  • Slowly Slipping Into Evil: JC appeared to be a cheerful and entertaining houseguest based on his introduction in the first episode of the season. As the game went on, he began to show his unpleasant side. He is known for being the most outspoken and disrespectful person in the house, frequently making personal attacks against others. He has also been difficult and has displayed diva-like qualities. He has caused problems for the production team of the show, resulting in warnings being issued to him. JC fully embraces his role as an antagonist and displays no shame in his ruthless actions and the chaos he creates in the game.
  • Smarter Than You Look: On a game level, JC is excellent at floating under the radar. On a personal level, JC can have some very deep discussions about divisive issues and remain open-minded about them. A lot of houseguests admire his ability to remain unbiased despite going through a lot of prejudice, and it surprises Brett upon review of one of their conversations that JC had some insightful things to say that weren't the typical things one would expect from an openly gay and short Spaniard. In a time where homophobia, cultural sensitivity, racism, offensive commentary, and immigration were hot-button issues, JC remained optimistic and able to cut through the garbage.
  • Smug Snake: JC has consistently displayed cocky, arrogant, and egocentric attitudes while playing the game. He frequently congratulates himself whenever he outplays the other side of the house. He pretends to be their friend while in their presence. He enjoys blindsiding the FOUTTE side of the house every week and appears arrogant during his Diary Room sessions. JC arrogantly proclaims himself as the mastermind of the season, taking sole credit for all the strategic moves in the game.
  • The Snark Knight: JC is snarky and sarcastic towards everyone in the house. Nobody is immune from being not the receiving end of his sarcastic, snarky and petty comments. He picks on everyone, even those he considers to be his friends and allies such as Fessy and Tyler.
  • The Social Expert: JC possesses one of the strongest social games among all the housemates. He is well-liked by everyone and no one wanted to target him or nominate him. His strong social game was evident when the first time he was ever nominated was as a pawn during the Double Eviction by Tyler. JC recognized that he was not the strongest physical competitor and would not be able to win the game solely based on competition wins. Instead, he relied on his social skills, which were his other strength. JC, Brett, and Tyler had undoubtedly the strongest social game of the season. JC managed to make it all the way to the Final 3 despite having won only one competition all season.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: JC is the houseguest with the third most Diary Room sessions of the season after Tyler (303) and Haleigh (190). His total number of Diary Room sessions for the season is 150. It's understandable why he has many DR sessions since he is one of the most dominant, funny, and entertaining players. Notably, his closest ally in the game is Tyler, who has emerged as the Breakout Character of the season.
  • Stalker with a Crush: JC is slowly becoming one for Tyler especially where his relationship with Angela is concerned. JC constantly interrupts Tyler and Angela having conversations and one on one time with each other because of jealousy. Angela even commented that at night, JC checks on Angela in bed to make sure that Tyler is not cuddling with her sleeping with her. He does the same thing to Tyler.
  • Straight Gay: He's a cross between this and Camp Gay. He possesses both effeminate and masculine qualities. He enjoys singing and dancing, and he can have a diva-like attitude, traits that are often associated with femininity. He is perceived as macho because of his aggressive, dominant, and athletic nature. He has masculine hobbies and interests, such as working out in the gym and weightlifting.
  • The Strategist: JC is unquestionably one of the top strategic players of the season. He is completely overlooked by everyone in the house because of how he presents himself. JC's Affably Evil demeanor prevents him from being targeted or nominated by anyone. JC and Tyler frequently collaborate on strategies and are credited with orchestrating blindsides and surprising voting results during the early stages of the game. JC has managed to succeed by being a strong strategic and social player, as he is not a strong physical competitor. His exceptional strategic and social skills propelled him to the Final 3. If he had won any of the final competitions, he could have easily made it to the Final 2.
  • Sugary Malice: JC seems friendly and innocent at first glance. However, he is actually one of the most lethal and hazardous players of the season. He is scheming, sneaky, conniving, and has backstabbed numerous people. He is also accountable for the blindsides and chaos that occurred in the early stages of the game. His game antics created a constant sense of paranoia and distrust among the members of the Hive alliance. He takes pleasure in blindsiding others and treats it as a joke. In addition to his deceptive gameplay, he enjoys gossiping and trash talking the other houseguests. Some of his strategic moves are driven by personal grudges and pettiness.
  • Supreme Chef: JC is the resident cook of the house, along with Sam and Tyler. Many of the houseguests love eating his cooking and this was apparent during a live show segment. JC was purposely cooking good food so that the other houseguests would gain weight and perform poorly in the competitions, giving him more of an advantage to finally win one.
  • Those Two Guys: JC has this kind of dynamic and relationship with Tyler. Gamewise, JC and Tyler are inseparable and they tell each other everything. JC considers Tyler to be his ride or die and best friend in the house. They are both manipulative strategists with excellent social games. They have been playing the game together since the start and have successfully avoided detection by riding the middle of the house.
  • Through Their Stomach: JC had the sneaky idea to make all the other players fat. He started cooking very tasty but very unhealthy concoctions and offering them to houseguests under the guise of generosity. He also used little things like chocolate chip and got them into a chocolate chip catching contest.
  • Token Minority: JC quickly acknowledges his standing as the season's token male gay/LGBTQ community member.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Throughout most of the game, JC had been coasting. He didn't win any competitions and was playing a low-profile game. After being nominated by Tyler during the Double Eviction in Week 11, he was motivated to win and ultimately secured a spot in the Final 3 by winning the HOH competition at Final 4.
  • Twofer Token Minority: He's both gay and a little person.
  • The Unapologetic: JC is never sorry for betraying, scheming or backstabbing other houseguests. In fact, he seems to take pleasure in stirring up trouble and causing chaos especially amongst the Hive alliance.
  • Undying Loyalty: To Tyler to extreme levels. JC remained loyal to Tyler throughout the entire game. He viewed Tyler as his ride or die and most loyal companion, willing to stick by his side no matter what. Everyone else, on the other hand, was completely expendable to him in the game. His loyalty to Tyler was severely tested when Tyler unexpectedly nominated him as a pawn and then betrayed him by backdooring Brett during the Double Eviction. JC realized that Tyler had been manipulating him throughout the game, and that he was not as in control as he had believed. Despite some tension in their relationship, JC acknowledged that Tyler was still his number one and that he would choose him as his Final 2 partner over anyone else.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: His discussion with Bayleigh about what terms one should not use to describe people to avoid offending them, which wasn't meant to do any harm, but still managed to put a bad taste in a lot of mouths for invoking the word "nigga"— though JC meant it in an innocuous context. The conversation began when JC clarified he's exactly 5 feet tall and went to a doctor to confirm he is just small and tried to use examples of other unflattering remarks. Bayleigh warned him not to use that word, knowing the word itself is incendiary. The uncomfortable reaction is what set off the backlash. Inevitably, online communities took it out of context and it spiraled into an intense and feverish discussion about cultural sensitivity and caused enough noise that made TMZ reach out to former contestant Devin Shepherd, who defended JC as having done nothing wrong.
  • Villainous Crush: JC openly admits to being deeply infatuated with Tyler. JC's feelings for him are not returned because Tyler is straight and has only shown romantic interest in Angela. JC dislikes Angela because Tyler is attracted to her. JC has made it his mission to target Angela and get her out of the house due to his dislike of seeing her with Tyler.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: JC and Faysal frequently argue and bitch at each other, but just as quickly find themselves joking around and having fun together. He also has this relationship with Tyler sometimes. Tyler and JC constantly get into bickering arguments regarding the game or about Tyler's relationships with Kaitlyn and Angela.
  • Yandere: He's extremely jealous and possessive of Tyler and wants any girl that Tyler gets close to evicted. JC has watched Tyler sleep to make sure that he isn't in bed with Angela, follows Tyler around the house to make sure he's not hanging out with Angela or other girls, and gets Brett to flirt with Angela so Angela stays away from Tyler.
  • You Say Tomato: It quickly becomes a Running Gag that JC has an unusual inflection with his Spanish regional accent, causing him to say words differently that one would expect, like "hiatus" as "yatus", "dumb ass" as "dumb bass", and "yin and yang" as "jin and jang".
