https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c794b446_9122_4106_b111_24570ed21cfe.png
“I know, that was a lot. But trust me, it’ll only get worse.”

Age: 32
Hometown: Los Angeles, California
Occupation: Host

The hostess of Reality Resort. As host, Victoria understands her role in displaying professionalism and patience. But while she’s a generally kindhearted person, she also loves the nitty gritty of reality television. She isn’t afraid to ask the tough, raw questions and is a master at getting under people’s skin juuuust enough to provoke drama but not enough to create animosity against herself.


  • Fashionable Asymmetry: Her dress has a proper sleeve on one side, and a detached sleeve on the other side.
  • The Host: This is her official position, and according to her bio, she generally keeps a professional demeanor with the contestants, probing them just enough to cause drama but not enough to make her hated by them.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: She's based off of the hostess of Big Brother, Julie Chen Moonves.
  • True Blue Femininity: She's a fairly feminine host whose main apparel includes a blue dress.

Reality Resort Contestants

    Analise Santos 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5531d6b4_ec3c_48cc_91a4_2a175312a8fa.png
“This glow of confidence looks sooo good on you!”

Age: 22
Hometown: Orlando, Florida
Occupation: Model

Growing up, Analise has always been told how beautiful she is which has allowed her to experience certain opportunities that her peers did not get to. Her reliance on her looks has created a skewed perception of reality as she has been able to coast through life without much adversity. As a model, her career continues to validate this mantra and she is expecting to reach even more people by competing on Reality Resort. Is there more behind the curtain or is what you see what you get with Analise?


  • Bare Middriffs Are Feminine: She wears a red tube top that exposes her stomach, and she's a model who's come to believe that Beauty Is Best.
  • Beauty Breeds Laziness: Implied. When asked about her strategy during her interview with Victoria, she says that if she can't get by the game on her own, she'll just have other people do the challenges for her if she doesn't feel like it.
  • Beauty Is Best: This is pretty much what Annalise has been made to believe her whole life, with her career as a model only further reinforcing this belief.
  • The Klutz: When asked what her family or friends would think of her, she replies with beautiful, realible... And accident-prone.

    Brad Whitaker 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brad_headshot.png

Age: 21
Hometown: Burlington, Vermont
Occupation: College Student

If there’s a party, chances are Brad is there. He is all about living in the moment and putting himself in precarious situations just for the memories. His ability to be spontaneous and think on his feet is what led him to becoming the president of his fraternity… even if what he comes up with aren’t the best ideas. As long as you don’t get in his way, you won’t find out about his alter ego, Mad Brad. He usually skips leg day, but in preparation for Reality Resort, Brad has started getting his butt into shape for what could be the best party of his life.


    Charles Wong 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charles_headshot.png
Age: 35
Hometown: Ridgefield, Connecticut
Occupation: High School History Teacher

Charles has managed to get by in life due to his intellect, despite his extremely low levels of motivation. He settled for a teaching gig at his old high school since it seemed like the easiest job he could do, not minding the relatively low salary since he doesn’t spend much of his money. Rather, he prefers to go to galleries and museums to envelop himself in the rich history of art and literature. Persuaded by his students to give Reality Resort a shot, can Charles muster up enough energy to win the $250,000 cash prize?


    Cheryl Brown 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cheryl_headshot.png
Age: 28
Hometown: Queens, New York
Occupation: Marketing Manager

Cheryl’s propensity to be over the top and easily excitable has allowed her to be very successful at her job in marketing. She’s able to break the ice and connect with many people in various ways. While she was never a delinquent, her friends knew her as the “wild child” of her family due to her general curiosity and ability to make friends easily. Since settling down with her boyfriend, she’s tamed some of these quirks but who knows if they’ll come back out on Reality Resort.


  • Genki Girl: Very sweet, excitable, and energetic.

    Drew Flamboni 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/drew_headshot.png

Age: 18
Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia
Occupation: Grocery Store Clerk

After graduating high school, Drew went right into the workforce as he thinks college is a scam. By day he’s a zoned out grocery store clerk, but by night he’s a passionate conspiracy theorist. Drew is convinced that the government is out to get him and that most people are corrupt and horrible, which he’ll tirelessly try to prove. He’s chronically online which is how he’s developed these beliefs, oftentimes confusing his own reality with the opinions he holds. Watch to find out if Reality Resort will conspire against Drew.


    Finn Delgado 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/finn_headshot.png
Age: 29
Hometown: Austin, Texas
Occupation: Paleontologist

Finn is the total package. At least, that’s what he was told until three months ago when his fiancée of two years spontaneously broke off their engagement. Heartbroken, Finn has distracted himself by working tirelessly all day followed by crying sessions at night. His friends signed him up for Reality Resort to help him face the reality that his engagement is over and as an attempt to get him back in the dating game. His love for paleontology is currently the only thing getting him through this tough stage of life, but will Reality Resort be the final hurdle to getting over his past lover?


    Isadore Lovelace 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/isadore_headshot.png

Age: 18
Hometown: Syracuse, New York
Occupation: College Student

Isadore just started college as an undeclared major as she’s got zero clue of what career she wants to pursue. An ongoing battle between how she thinks of herself and how she views the world causes her to struggle with wanting to make the most out of her time on earth despite knowing how awful it can be. While she may appear sweet and innocent, once she opens her mouth she comes across as an entirely different person. Feeling lost, she hopes competing on Reality Resort will be a nice break from the headaches.


    Kylie Johnson 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kylie_headshot.png

Age: 23
Hometown: Burbank, California
Occupation: Influencer

Kylie is a small, aspiring content creator looking to make it big as an influencer. She fully embraces her dorky nature and quirky interests such as puzzles and anime. The bulk of her audience started following her for her cosplaying videos and speedrun challenges. Although she hopes to make this her full time job, her parents haven’t been the most supportive and want her to keep an open mind to other jobs. Kylie applied to Reality Resort as a challenge to prove to her parents she has what it takes to make it big.


    Marcus Bourgeois 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marcus_headshot.png

Age: 45
Hometown: Ottawa, Canada
Occupation: Lawyer

Untreated addictions to alcohol and gambling ultimately led Marcus to an untimely divorce. After blowing his family’s life savings at his latest casino trip, his wife decided enough was enough and kicked him out. During the divorce process, Marcus represented himself, as he is a decent lawyer, and was able to persuade his soon-to-be ex-wife to agree to terms that if he were to get back all of the money he lost, they could terminate the divorce. Coincidentally, Reality Resort is offering just more than enough to cover the costs. Will Marcus’ pessimistic outlook on life ruin his chances to put his life back together, or will he find the courage to win the show and his wife back?


  • Older Than They Look: At the age of 45 years old, he's the oldest person to be competing on Reality Resort, even being older than the host, Victoria. Unlike Monica, who is only a few years behind him, he looks like he could be as young as any of the other teenaged and college-aged contestants.

    Monica Peterson 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monica_headshot.png

Age: 41
Hometown: Fairfax, Virginia
Occupation: Stay-at-Home Mom

Monica stopped working as an administrative assistant over a decade ago after giving birth to her two children. In between all the diaper changing, naps, and chores, Monica found time to unwind by watching reality television. However, this interest has slowly turned into an addiction, causing a noticeable shift in Monica’s parenting style. Now in their teens, Monica’s children feel estranged from their mother and blame the very style of show she has signed up for. She hopes that her kids will watch Reality Resort to see just what their mother is capable of.


    Olive West 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/olive_headshot.png

Age: 35
Hometown: Las Vegas, Nevada
Occupation: Fortune Teller

Ever since she was young, Olive has felt like she was different; almost as if she had a sixth sense. Whether it was her friend stubbing her toe on the sidewalk, acing her SA Ts, or knowing that there would be a car crash on the highway, Olive convinced herself that she had a secret superpower to predict the future. But after starting a somewhat successful Fortune Telling business, she realized that all she really had was strong deductive reasoning skills and the ability to use context clues. Managing to build her current lifestyle on a mountain of lies, will Olive use the same strategy to win Reality Resort?


    Sarah Shay 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sarah_headshot.png

Age: 20
Hometown: Amherst, Massachusetts
Occupation: College Student

Known in high school for being sweet and solitary, Sarah has continued to uphold that reputation in college where she holes herself up in the library for hours every day to study endlessly. A natural perfectionist, Sarah feels like her worth is in her grades and strives to be the best she can. And while that may work in the classroom, it’s left other areas of her life pretty void; namely, relationships. Will her lack of social interaction prohibit her from making a far run in Reality Resort, or will she come out of her shell to win the money?


    Seth Barbo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seth_headshot.png
Age: 26
Hometown: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Occupation: Baseball Player

Seth has been trying to crack the big leagues since he was drafted out of high school as a pitcher, but his stubborn arrogance has gotten in his way far too many times. He thinks he’s good enough as is and refuses to put in the work to get better. Every winter he comes home defeated but his momma hypes him up to keep trying and make his dream a reality. At 26 years old, he knows his time is running out so in a last ditch effort to secure some money, he applied for Reality Resort. Hoping that some scouts will see him on the show, Seth isn’t ready to give up just yet, but will he finally realize the error of his ways?


    Tino Mitchell 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tino_headshot.png
Age: 27
Hometown: San Diego, California
Occupation: Personal Trainer

It was love at first sight for Tino when he stepped into a gym at the age of 12. Ever since then, he has chased the adrenaline rush of a good workout and has transformed his body to be able to perform any movement he can imagine. After high school he became a certified personal trainer and never looked back, opting to sleep at the fitness center he works at so he doesn’t have to waste time driving there. His propensity to inspire others has made him a popular trainer, but his kind hearted nature is how he maintains his clients. Tino wants to continue inspiring others and felt like coming on Reality Resort was a good avenue to do so.


    Topaz Jones 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/topaz_headshot.png
Age: 30
Hometown: Seattle, Washington
Occupation: College Track Coach

Topaz was once deemed a generational talent on the track, however a freak injury during her senior year of high school cost her the chance to compete in college. Now, her competitive spirit drives her aggressive coaching style as she attempts to train the next generation of runners. Despite being loud and abrasive, Topaz genuinely wants the best for those she trains, which is fueled by wanting to live vicariously through them. Now that she’s been given a shot at redemption on Reality Resort, Topaz has her eyes set on the prize.


    Vijay Kumar 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vijay_headshot.png
Age: 32
Hometown: Miami, Florida
Occupation: Yoga Instructor

Vijay is known back home for his outlandish one-liners and random exclamations that make people laugh. His outgoing nature helps him to get along with almost anybody which in turn has made his yoga classes very successful. Despite the high turnouts, the classes don’t pay much which motivates Vijay to continue acting all buddy buddy with people so that he can mooch off of them juuuust before they start to catch on. This lifestyle has gotten tiresome, so when he came across Reality Resort, Vijay knew exactly what he had to do.
