Ratings - The Bear special edition

Uncle Jimmy Uncle Jimmy is often grumpy and critical of everyone, and while the others sometimes feel some love and loyalty for him, mostly they just tolerate him because he puts up the cash to bankroll all their ventures. He's usually businesslike but sometimes shows a little love for them all, but his main goal is to get a return on his investment.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0   Ashley Hollis - 25 Instagram Single - recruit Attorney New York, NY Jessica She entered the show (game) later than most but quickly proved herself to be efficient at her job which is convenient, since her job is to make sure the rest of them are being efficient. She's a bit prickly for some, and she might have a little thing for Richie/Zach. But the analogy falls apart there because Richie might also have a little thing for Jessica, but Zach absolutely does not for Ashley.	Won: Week 1 immunity; Movie guest HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Ava Pearl - 24 Instagram Has a boyfriend - fan applicant Aura painter Long Island, NY Sydney She came in a little odd and unsure of herself, but quickly became a favorite of most everyone. And when she put her skills to work, it became clear she's a true force to be reckoned with, though most of them aren't really aware yet of how talented she is in this setting.
Won: Selected 1st HOH players; Movie guest HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Jimmy Heagerty - 25 Instagram Has a boyfriend - fan applicant? AI consultant Washington, DC (orig Sarasota, FL) Ebraheim He works at the original restaurant rather than the one that gets most of the show's focus, and he does things his own way, which is mostly old school. He's got dreams that might be bigger than there's space for, and time will tell if those dreams pan out or if he fails spectacularly.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Katherine Woodman - 23 Instagram Single - recruit? Fine dining server Columbia, SC (orig Gwinnett County, GA) Claire (present) Carmy was infatuated with her in flashbacks and he's infatuated with her now, and while that storyline doesn't seem to have anywhere to go, it keeps Carmy tied up in knots. She doesn't really add much to the show, and is mostly interchangeable with flashbacks Claire/Lauren.
Won: Mystery Competitor Week 2*; Movie screening HOH 0 - Veto 3* - Noms 3/0/0 - HN 0   Keanu Soto - 33 Instagram Single - fan applicant Dungeon master (and fitness/nutrition trainer) McKinney, TX (orig Miami, FL) Uncle Lee He's just barely tolerated by most of them and that's only due to having a past with Donna/Rachel. It's a bonus that he's played by Bob Odenkirk because whenever he shows up, we're reminded of Saul Goodman and the whole comedy/drama/buffoonery aspect of that character.	Won: BBBB Weeks 1 & 3; Mystery Veto Week 2 HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 3/1/0 - HN 0   Kelley Jorgensen - 29 Instagram - TikTok Has a boyfriend - recruit? Web designer Burbank, SD Neil Fak A side character who doesn't do much to drive along any storylines, but once in awhile does something major that turns everything upside down. Mostly inserted for comic relief, along with the rest of the Faks, but that comedy often falls flat. An interesting side note: Matty Matheson, who plays Neil Fak, is the only formally trained chef in the cast of The Bear.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 0   Lauren Domingue - 22 Instagram Single - fan applicant Bridal consultant Lafayette, LA Claire (flashbacks) See Katherine. She had a pivotal role for a minute, but it didn't develop into anything.	Won: HOH Interrogation Week 2 HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Mickey Lee - 35 Instagram Single - prior season alternate Event curator Atlanta, GA (orig Jacksonville, FL) Tina She moved to the fancy restaurant kitchen from the sandwich window and had some struggles with the learning curve, but she worked hard and soon proved herself to be extremely skilled and more valuable than even she realizes. (This one may be revised, depending on who Mickey puts up as renom.)
Won: Nothing yet HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 0   Morgan Pope - 33 Instagram - Twitch - modeling Single - fan applicant Gamer (and model) Los Angeles, CA (orig Palm Springs, CA) Natalie "Sugar" She runs the business side of things which isn't easy because there's never enough capital to go around. Her emotional dependence on both family and co-workers keeps her in a near-perpetual state of angst which she deals with by talking entirely too much. An interesting side note: Abby Elliott, who plays Sugar, is the daughter of Chris Elliott who's known for Letterman, Schitt's Creek, and SNL, and he's the son of Bob Elliott of the comedy duo Bob & Ray. Abby is also an SNL alum, the first second-generation regular on that show.	Won: Week 1 immunity; Movie guest HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 2   Rachel Reilly Villegas - 40 Instagram Married, 2 kids - two-time veteran Casting agent Hoover, AL (orig Concord, NC via Las Vegas, NV) Donna She's the A-list guest star who isn't a main character, but her influence on everyone is continual and overwhelming. She's had a chaotic past with a number of legendary Major Events, but she's put in a lot of work to do better and she's accomplishing that.
Won: Nothing yet HOH 1 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0   Rylie Jeffries - 27 Instagram Single - fan applicant Professional bull rider Luther, OK Michael He was killed off before the show started, but his shadow continues to loom large over most of them.	Won: Nothing yet HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 0   Vince Panaro - 34 Instagram Has a girlfriend - prior season alternate Unemployed West Hills, CA Carmy "the Bear" The central character of the show, everything revolves around him and his dreams. He juggles the family and the business at all times, and periodically collapses from the pressure. He worked very, very hard to get where he is, but things have been getting away from him recently and his future is currently uncertain.
Won: Week 1 immunity HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/1 - HN 1   Cliffton "Will" Williams - 50 Instagram Married, 3 kids, 2 stepkids, 9 grands - fan applicant, casual feedster College sports podcaster Charlotte, NC (orig Wallace, SC) Marcus He's a side character, beloved by all but unsure where his place is since he went from making beef sandwiches to the fanciest of fancy desserts. His confidence and expertise have grown exponentially, and he may go the distance and become a main character. Or not.	Won: $10,000; Option to buy safety; Week 1 immunity HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 1   Zach Cornell - 27 Instagram Single - fan applicant? Marketing manager Cartersville, GA Richie Orignally Carmy/Vince's sidekick, he stepped up his game and ended up being the maitre d' of the fancy shmancy restaurant, even though he does that in a somewhat non-traditional way. He's become everyone's confidant and go-between, while his own life is wracked with pain over not being able to hang on to the love of his life.
Won: BBBB Week 1 HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/1/0 - HN 0   Adrian Rocha - 23 Instagram Single - fan applicant Carpenter San Antonio, TX 3rd evicted - Day 24 His pre-season stuff was wild, with his homemade wall comp and boisterous personality, but that guy didn't show up, maybe due to the syndrome of everyone being center-of-attention types and there just isn't enough limelight for everyone. His comp skills were good and he would have been a better choice for Rachel's protegé than Keanu but they had zero rapport, and Adrian's social game was absent with almost everyone. He had his moments with his emotional support bread and issues with doors, but he harped about honesty and loyalty too much so maybe this just wasn't the show for him. But he's a good guy and I wish him well.	Won: Day 1 accomplice HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/1/0 - HN 1   Amy Bingham - 43 Instagram Single, 3 kids - fan applicant, prior callback, casual feedster Insurance agent Stockton, CA 2nd evicted - Day 17 She didn't do as much as some in the 'older woman' casting slot before her, but she got away with being the move-in Accomplice by doing a few tasks without being caught. She and Rachel bonded quickly and tightly as fellow moms, but their closeness made a target of Amy and she got the boot to weaken Rachel's game. She was generally liked in there, and she cried a lot but she handled slop well. She got out by the July 31 deadline to get her job of 20 years back, if she wants it.
Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0   Isaiah "Zae" Frederich - 23 Instagram Single - applied for TAR Salesperson Provo, UT Phoenix, AZ (orig Paducah, KY) 1st evicted - Day 10 It's nice to get a brojock out early, especially first, and between constantly exhibiting his muscles and his smarts, he didn't do much to help prevent that. He didn't lay down to die when he hit the block so that's something, but he campaigned repetitively and relentlessly, holding voters hostage for hours at a time and talking 100 mph at them without pausing for breath. He landed himself on TMZ and tangled with Rachel, and that's about all he'll be remembered for.
