Ratings - Toxic Traits edition

Where to begin? Childish edits, lame zings, meatless Diaries with boring comp retells, there are a slew of problems as we all know. But their main toxic trait is disrespect for us, their core audience, the feedsters. That's not new but there's still no reason for it, and it's getting worse. We used to come back from ceremonies when they were still in place and hugging, and we used to come back from comps as they walked in the door. BB Canada always treated feedsters way worse than BB USA, until they cut out feeds altogether, and look how that turned out. PS Why did Ainsley choose violence? Jankie's murder was brutal and needlessly malicious. He was just a sweet little guy who wanted everyone to have fun.
Won: 1000 orb pickup & decontamination HOH 2 - Veto 1 - Noms 5/1/0 - HN 1   Angela Murray - 50 51 Twitter - Instagram Married with kids & grandkids - fan applicant Real estate agent Syracuse, UT (orig Long Beach, CA) Her toxic trait is paranoia coupled with a sense of entitlement. Gamewise, the paranoia and resulting guilt trips are problematic for her roomies, but somehow it's kept her alive. Until now anyway: her time may be up now that Makensy won the veto. Angela's 'I really want to be here, this is my dream' shtick is a very bad angle for her to keep harping on, since it applies to each and every one of them. On the plus side, being safe during Jankie week kept her from spiraling in that nuthouse.	Won: Movie guest HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 1   Cam Sullivan-Brown - 25 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit Physical therapist Bowie, MD His toxic trait is a lack of awareness about his positioning between Chelsie and the other women he's flirted with. She's tried to explain the situation to him but she hasn't been honest about her ongoing crush on him which complicated everything, so maybe he's just being an ignorant dope by not seeing it. If he's consciously ignoring that part of it, that's on him. Sure, he doesn't owe her anything on that score whatsoever, but it would behoove him to keep her happy if he wants her to take him to the end. His track record indicates he's not likely to be the one doing the taking.
Won: Week 1 mascot/can't compete or vote; Week 5 AI Arena HOH 2 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 0   Chelsie Baham - 27 Instagram Single - fan applicant Nonprofit director Rancho Cucamonga, CA Her toxic trait is jealousy. Her situation with Cam is complicated by the close proximity they can't escape, and also maybe because according to her, she's only been in one relationship so may not have the tools or experience to be fully honest with him within the context of the game they're playing, so she sticks to the game angle when she hashes things out with him. Gamewise she continues to sway and influence others by planting seeds against this one and that one, and those seeds take root and thrive as she steps back to watch the results and, importantly, she makes a point to stay in good standing with her targets. That's very good BB, but it's hard to explain at the end in order to win over jurors. A lot of people don't like to acknowledge they've been duped into doing someone else's dirty work for them.	Won: Week 1 AI Arena; Movie guest HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 5/0/0 - HN 3   Kimo Apaka - 35 36 Instagram - Instagram 2 Single - fan applicant/occasional feedster Mattress sales rep Hilo, HI His toxic trait is being relaxed and carefree. That's not toxic in life obviously, but gamewise he's not done his share other than to be everyone's pawn. He doesn't even give any arguments against it, let alone put up a fight. That's convenient for whoever the reigning HOH is, but it's hardly game-winning strategy. He's got a very nice singing voice and a great sense of melody and harmony, but this isn't a singing competition.
Won: *Week 9 janky veto HOH 1 - Veto 1+1* - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 1   Leah Peters - 26 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit VIP cocktail server Miami, FL (orig Pittsburgh, PA) Her toxic trait is making herself the center of attention. It's begun wearing on others enough that they've been talking about her taking over conversations and turning topics around to herself. I am aware she's said she's aware she does that, and has struggled with it due to ADHD, but that doesn't stop them from being annoyed about it. To be fair, Jankie World might have been a lot more miserable for them (and us) if she hadn't had HOH safety, as she was able to stay upbeat for most of the week.	Won: Hawaii trip; America's Veto/used Week 3; Weeks 4 & 6 AI Arena; Movie screening HOH 1 - Veto 2 - Noms 1/1/1 - HN 2   Makensy Manbeck - 22 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit Construction project manager Houston, TX Her toxic trait is gliding through the first half of the game in pure ignorance to what was going on, and now thinking she's a mastermind. I don't know if her secret plan to boot Angela will stay secret, since everyone knows about it except Angela and Leah, and this cast is definitely not known for keeping secrets. Adding an HOH and another veto to her resumé this week has painted a bigger target on her, and could add to arguments for her to win at the end. Jurors may have to dive deeper into hypocrisy if they reward Makensy's comp wins, since they all discount Angela's.
Won: Week 7 AI Arena; Movie guest HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 2/0/1 - HN 1   Rubina Bernabe - 35 Instagram Single - recruit Event bartender Los Angeles, CA Like Kimo, her toxic trait is being relaxed and carefree. Gamewise it's every bit as useless for her as it is for him, but she balances it better by continually making rounds with everyone and checking up on them, particularly when they're in jeopardy, plus she participates in more gametalking than him and is more aware of what's going on. She also doesn't take things too seriously or personally, which Kimo sometimes does. Even when she was on the block against first Kimo and then T'kor, she seemed more concerned about their fates and feelings than her own.	Won: $5,000 HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 0   T'kor Clottey - 23 Instagram - Instagram 2 Has a boyfriend - Survivor applicant? Crochet business owner Atlanta, GA (orig Chicago, IL/London, UK) 2nd juror - 9th evicted - Day 66 She bonded with Kimo and Rubina early on, and the trio quickly became inseparable. That's heartwarming to see but a voting block of three is a big threat in this game. She was seen as their leader but she was beloved by everyone so it took awhile for her to hit the block. When she finally did, she didn't take it well and withdrew back into her self-described shell, and didn't fight hard enough to stay. She got Tucker out on her HOH, but he would have been a useful ally for her if he'd stayed. She and Kimo had excellent reads on the game and their fellow players throughout, but they didn't do much with those reads besides stealth-whisper to each other a lot. In Week 4 they orchestrated a vote flip but later denied doing so, even to each other. She's accomplished a lot in life at a young age and I have no doubt she'll continue to do so, and I wish her well.
Won: Deep Fake HOH/used Week 4; Viewers' nominee Week 3 HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/1/1 - HN 1   Quinn Martin - 25 Twitter - Instagram Single - fan applicant/RHAP listener Nurse recruiter Omaha, NE (orig Lawton, OK) 1st juror - 8th evicted - Day 59 He was a different kind of superfan, having seen episodes and RHAP podcasts, but no feeds. He got the best power this show's ever handed out on Day 2, but blabbed it to two people, so by the time he used it everyone knew and the fun was spoiled. That week he put his ally Cedric on the block and he went home, and later he put his ally Joseph on the block, and he went home. But he was allied with nearly everyone at some point, with F2s all over town, and he blew up alliances like it was a hobby. He continually thought he had everyone in his pocket, unaware his pocket had a huge gaping hole and couldn't hold anything. He shouted in Diary but was light and fun much of the time, even when his game was tanking, so props for that. He fell hard for Leah and made 'googleah' eyes at her, and his 'sick nasty' speech to her was instant inspiration for a million memes.	Won: 24 hours solitary HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 1   Joseph Rodriguez - 30 31 Instagram Single - fan applicant/feedster Video store clerk Tampa, FL 7th evicted - Day 52 He brought a lot of unintentional comedy as he deluded himself about his power and influence, and he proclaimed himself 'star of the show' in one solo talk to himself/us. To his credit, his intentional comedy was every bit as good, although his dry sense of humor wasn't appreciated by some. He had a BB birthday that helped him settle in better socially, and he became the eighth hamster to get 24 hours in solitary. Three of those won their seasons but not this time. Joseph had extra chatty, holographic mini-Matt for company, and he said later he used his toilet tent for extracurricular purposes. He apologized to Angela after being brutally honest about her game, and he acknowledged he had some self-work to do about his 'mean streak.' I'll miss him, and wish him nothing but the best. Props to his siblings and friends for running the best hamster-adjacent socials we've ever seen.
Won: $20,000; Weeks 2 & 3 AI Arena; 1 week AI Assist; Week 6 AI Instigator HOH 1 - Veto 3 - Noms 2/0/2 - HN 1   Tucker Des Lauriers - 30 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit Marketing and sales exec Brooklyn, NY (orig Boston, MA) 6th evicted - Day 45 He demolished two AI Arenas and was the first pre-juror to win three vetos in a row(!), along with an HOH. All that plus his boasting made him most everyone's target but he seemed to relish that spot (along with puzzles and biscuits). He was a welcome change from the usual 'comp beast' type, often showing compassion and empathy, and shedding tears over missing his min pin Ziggi. He fell in love with Rubina, and was often loud, sometimes obnoxious, frequently funny, and he usually owned whatever room he was in, including Diary. His gameplay was reckless and unpredictable, nearly always leaving chaos in his wake. He was that extremely rare breed of hamster: a hard gamer, often a good one (sometimes horrible), while being entertaining. He will be missed.	Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0   Brooklyn Rivera - 34 Twitter - Instagram Married with kids - fan applicant Business administrator Dallas, TX (orig Covington, GA) 5th evicted - Day 38 She brought us a number of classic shockfaces for various blindsides, and she said 'this doesn't quite feel like Big Brother' when she was on the block and on her way out. I beg to differ. She confessed her sports dancer secret to Quinn (who told several), her Mrs America secret to Chelsie (who didn't), but I don't think she told anyone she's friends with Aaryn. Thanks to Cam, she provided a fun Michael Jackson side game out here for her last couple weeks. She never tired of saying she wanted a married mother to win this season, so I guess we can assume she'll be rooting from home for Angela.
Won: Week 1 mascot/can't compete or vote HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/1 - HN 0   Cedric Hodges - 21 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit Former Marine Boise, ID (orig Running Springs, CA) 4th evicted - Day 31 He prepped by watching analysis clips and didn't see any full seasons so he had an unusual balance of BB lore and knowledge. He was a good sport about being sidelined Week 1 and he used that time well, becoming well-liked by all of them. 'Young Cedric' was an ongoing, evolving skit and his own elaborate life stories usually had them and us in stitches. Between expecting volunteers for the block and painting himself into a no-win corner between his various alliances, his HOH was a disaster. Then he volunteered to be a pawn the following week and learned the meaning of 'pawns go home.' He was funny, genuine, wise and mature beyond his years, and he'll be missed.	Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 3/0/0 - HN 0   Kenney Kelley - 52 Instagram Married with kids - fan applicant Former undercover cop Boston, MA 3rd evicted - Day 24 He adopted Matt and lost him fast, then he won a veto, and the rest of the time he said he wanted to quit. He rallied a bit at the end when he teamed up with Cedric and Tucker, adding Cam when he walked in on them, but that got blown up immediately. He mostly sat by himself and shouted out his family, or he complained to others about missing them, so they sent him back to them.
Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 1   Lisa Weintraub - 33 Twitter - Twitter 2 - Instagram - Instagram 2 Single - recruit? Celebrity chef Los Angeles, CA 2nd evicted - Day 17 She's a legit chef/caterer and ran that into the ground, along with sprinkling edible glitter on everyone's food whether they wanted it or not. Tucker's rants about her were an early highlight, and she crumbled after Angela mocked her walk and called her a twit. Props for winning the first veto (rare for a woman), but she wasn't cut out for this setting. Most of that was simply being a bad roommate: she made (and wasted) food they didn't want, dabbed non-consensual essential oil on her roomies' pillows, propped filthy feet on food surfaces, and she never tired of telling everyone what a special and unique person she was.	Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/1 - HN 0   Matt Hardeman - 25 Single - recruit? Twitter - Instagram Tech sales rep Roswell, GA (orig Loganvilla, GA) 1st evicted - Day 10 He filled the pretty boy/brojock casting slot perfectly but didn't like Angela pointing that out openly and immediately. He was adamant about not being 'that guy' and to his credit, he did talk a lot against toxic masculinity. He cried after Angela yelled at him, but went out in high spirits with ginormous smiles for Julie.
Won: Control of the game HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 0 Ainsley/AInsley - 24 Surf shop worker San Diego, CA She lost two votes to join as #17 so reverted to her robotic persona aka Artificial Intelligence Network Self-Learning Entity, and became a comp host.
