Hello, Tengaged! Join the Viewers' Lounge to keep track of the season, and check out the names of this season's BBUK cast who will be vying for your support in the coming weeks!
This 21-year old rookie compares herself to the Black Widow herself, Cassandra Shahinfar, from BBCAN4. While she gets along with those that she likes, she’ll be a bitch and a pain in the ass to those that she doesn’t. This is BBUK, so let’s be real… it looks like we should prepare for some fireworks!
This housemate compares himself to the most recent CBB winner, Shane Jenek (aka Courtney Act), because he had a strategy, but didn’t overcomplicate things for himself. Also citing the BBUK legend’s self-awareness and ability to have fun through it all, can this rookie make his BB experience a season to remember? Most importantly, he’s ready to flaunt his good sense of style. Get the cameras ready!
Firey and upfront, this rookie is ready to enter the BBUK series with a bang. Comparing herself to Jessica Graf, because she’s a bitch who doesn’t have a strategy and is only there to have fun, can this housemate manage to turn the house upside down as she’s turning heads?
Chanelle ( MIchelle990)
Vet (Season 1, 8th, Season 2, 14th)
Wearing her heart on her sleeve, and not afraid to speak her mind, this housemate has been known to get into plenty of fights, plenty of showmances, but even more meltdowns. In her first season, she made a few friends, but her game was crippled when her many outbursts and rivalry with Nicole caused her to become public enemy #1, leaving the house soon after her only remaining ally, Amy, was evicted. In season 2, she immediately jumped into a showmance with Kyle R. and kicked off with Daphne, Tom, Nicole, Jessica, and anyone else that found themselves in her warpath. After conspiring to turn against her fellow vets, she was exposed by Jessica, who threw her under the bus in order to transfer the target, leading to her early eviction. Never a team player or one to be told what to do, can she finally play nice and show a different side, or will her old drama queen ways resurface?
Daphne ( Jameslu)
Vet (Season 1, 12th; Season 2, 11th)
Savage, strong-minded, and never one to mince her words, this housemate has demonstrated numerous times that she’s willing to do or say whatever she wants, when she wants. Both seasons, her showmances have put enormous targets on her back-- Season 1 with Jerry, in which she went to war with the other showmance of Nicole/Ethan, and Season 2 with Lorenzo, which caused her to be a casualty of the first double eviction of the series. She’s proven to have grit and drive, winning the Week 2 Crown Power of Season 2, and surviving a few evictions across both seasons. Still, when the pressure gets to her, she has a tendency to let everything pop off. In season 1, this was against Nicole, Ethan, Chanelle, and Emily, which later caused her to walk out of the house on Day 11 after everyone turned on her. In season 2, she came across as “rude” to many of her housemates, and ruthlessly tore into her enemies (cough cough, Chanelle), which led to her being one of the first vets targeted. Can she finally bust single digit placement and show that she can be a strong strategist, as well as a dynamic housemate? Or will her game, once again, go up in flames?
While he vows to be a dynamic and active housemate in the house, can this rookie manage to win over the public? He has big shoes to fill, comparing himself to the legends: Nikki Grahame, Charley Uchea, AND Helen Wood. Will these different personalities each come out in the house? We’ll be anxiously waiting to find out!
This vet played a very under-the-radar and quiet game last season. After progressing through the Kingdom of Ice relatively undetected and staying out of the crosshairs, Hell Week proved to completely shift the tides in the game for him as he was placed into jeopardy by Nicole in order to get the house target, Lorenzo, evicted. When the plan backfired, he took the hit, and the house turned on him in a 5-1 vote against his ally, John. With a renewed desire to change his gameplay and play less sides, while still remaining a “flip flop guru,” can he make it to the finale, this time, without falling into the red zone?
Funny, extra, and lighthearted, this housemate’s reputation precedes her as being the most flirtatious, promiscuous housemates to ever play the game. After a series of one-sided, failed attempts at showmances, as well as a bitter rivalry with season winner, Kyle K., she was widely regarded as crazy to some, but also a non-threat, allowing her to progress all the way to the finale. Her strategic game was underestimated, as she stabbed some friends in the back and aligned with others to position herself well in the house, only going up for eviction once. Can she recreate this path to the finals, or will some burned bridges keep her from taking it all the way?
Chill, outgoing, and one of the most outright “normal” people to ever play this game, he played a quiet game last season, and lasted a long time as the rest of his allies were picked off one-by-one. Finally making a move against the power alliance of Tom/Nicole, his ally, Kyle R., voted differently and caused him to be nominated, leading to a shocking final eviction. Will he make amends with Kyle R., or are there still some unresolved issues? And after being in the minority for the majority of last season, will he play another under-the-radar game, or will he find his way into some power, and maybe, some conflict?
This housemate seemed to get caught in all of the drama last season, despite his calm, kind demeanor. Caught in a love triangle with his showmance, Chanelle, and Jessica, and engaging in a bitter rivalry with Lorenzo, he aligned with the 3 remaining vets for the second half of the game. In the process, he ended up making the game-changing decision to nominate Tom and Logan instead of Nicole and Logan during the final set of noms, causing his closest ally, John, to face nominations and become evicted right before the finale, while it was also revealed that his second showmance, Nicole, had betrayed him and nominated him for eviction. Will he once again align with those in power to get to the end, or will his multiple vendettas create some obstacles along the way?
Straddling the line between shade and social tact, as well as the line between alliances in the house, this Season 2 winner was able to navigate through all of the drama unscathed. While everyone around him was throwing direct blows toward one another, he sat on the couch, sipped some tea, and threw a couple shady remarks to housemates, remaining a non-threat in the eyes of everyone else until it was too late to even consider targeting him. His only vendetta is his rival, Jessica, who played a very similar game as him. And possibly Tom, who he claims to have “used” to get to the end, despite their steamy showmance that got both to the finale. Will Kyle K. be a target at all this season, or will he remain sipping tea in the corner of all the drama? And now that he and Tom are both in the Code Red house, will old flames rekindle, or will Kyle K. align himself with other people in his attempts to win the game for a second season in a row?
Logan ( lhooper902976)
Vet (Season 1, 3rd; Season 2, 3rd)
A stealthy and under-the-radar strategist, his “Mr. Nice Guy” persona has carried him to third place and two finales for two consecutive seasons. In Summer of Secrets, he was only nominated once, right before the finale. Season 2 had a bit of a rougher start, but after beating out four other housemates in the Redemption House battle back into the game, he went unnominated for the entirety of the season, the only housemate in BBUK history to do so, while also getting his revenge against Quinn for evicting him, and later, turning against his fellow vets to have a shot at taking the crown for himself. He has proven himself as one of the most intelligent, kindest housemates that has ever been in the series, but can he sail through to another finale, this time, snagging the crown for himself?
Very few housemates are able to survive multiple evictions, let alone FIVE. Aggressive, blunt, and confrontational, this housemate is the most nominated housemate in BBUK history, and has already come into this season guns blazing. His popularity and fighting attitude carried him all the way to 8th last season, and he didn’t do anything to minimize the target on his back, creating deep rivalries with many housemates, especially Kyle R. and Quinn. His only true ally seemed to be his XXX rated showmance, Daphne, who was evicted at 11th. Will this former house target make ANY allies this time around, or will he remain on the outs and fighting for his life? Either way, he’s going to have his fair share of bad blood.
While she may have the label of “vet,” she didn’t make much of an impact on BB’s inaugural season, and she didn’t get to know most of the other vets that are returning for Code Red. Still, she had lots of tea to spill about her fellow housemates in the DR, not holding anything back. After walking for personal reasons and placing 14th two seasons ago, she vows to not walk again, hoping to stick it out and survive as long as possible. Can she improve her legacy in the BB house and show a different side to the little bit we saw in Season 1? Time to find out!
Nicole ( paul028)
Vet (Season 1, 2nd; Season 2, 2nd)
A dynamic, bona fide goddess, she is considered by many to be the Queen of the BBUK series. This housemate is the ONLY third-timer who has never been evicted from the BBUK house. Instead, she’s a two-time runner-up, and has proven herself to be a comp beast, winning more comps across seasons than any other housemate, as well as a loyal ally, dominating both seasons with her dynamic duo partner, Tom... but don’t get on her bad side. After juggling multiple showmances with Ethan in Season 1, and Kyle R. and Quinn in Season 2, will she find love once again in Code Red? Will she make even more vendettas, after opening up old wounds with Chanelle, and making amends with Daphne in Season 2? And can she finally win the game for herself and take it all? Or will she once again come up short?
A fighter if there ever was one, this rookie is ready to tear into the Code Red house and take some names. He says that a likely comparison for him to a BB player is Janelle Pierzina--he’s a strong competitor, but somehow always gets screwed. Will this volatile house be another source of screwing him over, or will he be the one throwing everyone else into the danger zone?
This rookie is another BB fan who compares himself to Ika Wong, whom he calls, “an iconic skinny legend who deserved to win, fuck Dre and Karen, they lame asf.” While he vows to keep the “hoes in check” and let it loose when he enters the house, can this housemate manage to blast his way through the danger zone without any hitches?
This rookie compares himself to Dan Gheesling because he’s a mastermind, and Paras, because he’ll try to position himself like her. Still, he admits that he thinks he’s a mastermind, but the whole house will likely be onto him. Can he put on enough of a show when the alarm sounds for a Code Red?
Our next rookie is a BBUK superfan who watched last season in the Viewers’ Lounge and is ready to try his own hand at the game. He compares himself to Paras from BBCAN6--he’s social unless he finds you annoying, he has a knack for “playing dumb”, he sometimes finds himself twisted into many alliances, and he sucks at comps. Will he be able to play a Kyle K. style game and subtly sip tea to the end, or will he find himself needing to show his cards early on? Time to bring this BB fan into the house!
Comparing himself to Raph Korine from BBUK, the ultimate BB superfan, this rookie vows to do anything to win, but also plans on having lots of fun! He doesn’t plan on messing around with nominations-- every housemate that goes will get him one step closer to the crown. While he says he knows how to separate game from personal, will the stress of the house cause him to crack?
Tom ( solesurvivor11)
Vet (Season 1, 1st; Season 2, 4th)
Ruthless, sassy, opinionated, and a mastermind gameplayer, his fellow housemates fell for “Tom’s Mist” long enough for him to reach the finale and control the game two seasons in a row. He claims that he taught his showmance, and Winner #2, Kyle K., everything he knows about the game. Will he do even more “teaching” this season? Will rivalries with Chanelle and all of the returning rookies from last season provide some immediate conflict? A force to be reckoned with when paired with his best buddy, Nicole, can this former winner destroy his competition as per usual and add another win to his already impressive resume? Or, will someone finally take a successful shot at the BBUK legend? Only one way to find out...
This rookie describes himself as a “Mike Boogie”-esque villain. He’s set on finding a ride or die, but he’s not going to stop until he takes it all the way. While he says that he’s good at comps and willing to make moves, will he manage to deliver when the house heats up?
