As the reigning champ of BBUK, Adelaide made history last season by becoming the first female winner of the series. Her vicious rivalry with Yandere shaped the house, and led to the season long house divide in Fresh Meat— everyone was either #TeamAdelaide or #TeamYandere . Adelaide benefitted from care packages and a resistance alliance dubbed “Charlie’s Angels” to vanquish her night-one enemy, Yandere, along with the rest of his majority alliance. However, Adelaide found a new enemy in her former ride-or-die, Jayson, when she went against his wishes and saved Honey over Cam during Hell week. Their shattered friendship only got worse, as Adelaide’s entire endgame resulted in her reliance on the public vote to save her because Jayson had turned most of her friends against her. With two of her worst enemies sharing a house with her, will Adelaide’s direct, and, at times, abrasive personality draw the ire of her housemates, or will she be able to survive and keep hold over her winning title?
The “Nice Girl” of BBUK is returning, only this time, she’s not also the “New Girl.” In Code Red, she entered 4 weeks late as an intruder. She easily won over her housemates, allowing her to soar to the final—but not without entering her fair share of drama with her ex-showmance, Kyle. Their romance was certified “dead” when they both voted to evict each other in two separate house votes, and Aimee sent him into jeopardy during Hell week. But her real beef is with Megan, who flipped on their endgame all-female alliance with Daphne, resulting in a house blow-up between both ladies, and her friend, Daphne’s, eviction. With her endgame rival in the house, will the “nice girl” make amends, or is revenge a dish best served cold?
Chanelle ( michelle990) | Vet (Season 1, 8th; Season 2, 13th; Season 3, 13th)
Perhaps the most dramatic housemate ever, Chanelle is on her fourth season, and there’s no telling how she’ll play this time. We always tend to see the fireworks, but in recent seasons, we’ve also seen a more strategic side to Chanelle come to the surface. While many have felt the wrath of a Chanelle scorned, her bitter blood runs deepest with Daphne, who she’s gone toe-to-toe with for three straight seasons. Will their ongoing warfare divide the house, or will both ladies cause each other to go up in flames? Along with Daphne, Chanelle will be encountering X, Lorenzo, and her season 1 rival, Emily. None of these relationships ended well, and all of them resulted in screaming matches and tears shed. As she tried to do last season, will Chanelle once again turn over a new leaf and manage to show her housemates “kindness”, or will her vendettas have the last laugh?
Daphne ( jameslu) | Vet (Season 1, 12th; Season 2; 11th; Season 3, 7th)
Beginning her BBUK career with a walkout in season 1 due to sheer hatred toward her housemates, Daphne has never had a problem drawing attention to herself. In season 2, this only continued when everyone blasted her for her hooking up with the house target, Lorenzo. Season 3 saw the strategic side of Daphne come out, as she aided in the orchestrations of X and Kyle’s evictions. If that weren’t enough, her frenemy, Megan, is back in the house— the girl who arguably caused Daphne’s eviction after she flipped their all-girls alliance in the final vote. But bad blood will run even deeper, as Daphne is involved in the biggest rivalry across all seasons with Chanelle. As the only fourth-timers in the house, will these ladies finally squash their beef, or has season-after-season of lies, betrayal, and deceit led to an all out war? In addition not this, Emily, one of Daphne’s Season 1 enemies, is in the house. After Daphne gave Emily night one immunity, Emily instantly turned on her, and the two never got along for the rest of their time in the house. After playing hard in three separate seasons, is fourth time the charm for this robbed icon, or is it Daphne’s fate to consistently come up short?
Rising from the ashes is BBUK’s OG villainess— Emily. The last time she set foot into the house, she was throwing drinks, having meltdowns, cussing everyone out, and power-obsessed. While she left that house with zero allies, she’s coming face-to-face with two of her biggest enemies: Chanelle and Daphne. After Daphne chose Emily to receive a power during premiere night, Emily almost immediately turned on her, and the two never got along since. Emily had an equally messy relationship with Chanelle, which involved numerous drunken catfights. If that weren’t enough, Emily is facing four housemates that she’ll recognize from D & B’s Survivor— X, Jayson, Kyle, and Lorenzo. It would be an understatement to say that she didn’t get along with most of them. Now that the Veronica Portillo of BBUK is returning, will she conquer the house and take some names, or will her reputation intimidate anyone from trying to work with her?
Despite her sex appeal and flirty personality, Honey played a surprisingly strategic, flip-floppy game in Fresh Meat. This didn’t come without consequences, though, as she came out of the house with a “snake” reputation. While she didn’t particularly get along with Praskovya, who used her “Eraser” power to get Honey nominated, Honey has an even bigger vendetta in Jayson, who never forgave her for her treachery against their “Charlie’s Angels” alliance. Will the gloves come off once more this season, or will they manage to kiss and make up (knowing Honey, that’s entirely possible)?
A positive personality in a house of lies and deceit, will James manage to find any loyalty in the BBUK house? Talkative, smart, and strategic, he hopes to put his best foot forward and win over his fellow housemates, but will the appearance of Rodrigo, a vendetta from Suitman’s Big Brother, throw a wrench into that plan? James gunned for Rodrigo in the house, and Rodrigo didn’t have nice words to say to James when Rodrigo was on his way out the door. Will bad blood cause an early war between both rookies, or will they let bygones be bygones?
A known power player throughout his rookie season, Jayson’s bold, unapologetic game moves and frequent house meetings allowed him to hold court and decimate the season’s majority alliance, with the help of his ride-or-die, Adelaide. Sides shifted during Hell week, however, when Adelaide saved Honey, Jayson’s enemy, instead of Cam. Jayson instantly turned on Adelaide, and never forgave or forgot his former friend for her game move. Jayson’s witty, yet savage diary room commentary has also led some of his other allies during Fresh Meat, like Praskovya, to openly criticize him. If that weren’t enough, Jayson is coming face-to-face with Kyle, who he had a mistrustful relationship with during D & B’s Survivor: Blood vs Water. Will Jayson manage to beat his runner-up placement and win this season, or will his bad blood with many of the housemates get in the way?
Kyle ( redskanto) | Vet (Season 2, 5th; Season 3, 11th)
Despite his kind, charming personality, Kyle always manages to find himself in the middle of the drama— and the ladies. After flitting in and out of love triangles both seasons—Chanelle, Jessica, Addy, Aimee (who sent him into Hell during Hell week last season), Camila, the list goes on…—the target on Kyle’s back has only gotten bigger. In one of the messiest rivalries to date, Kyle and Lorenzo have been going at it since Kingdom of Ice, with pollbox fights and screaming matches to prove it. If that wasn’t enough, Kyle is facing off against X, who he rallied against in Code Red after X’s explosive, personal attacks proved threatening to his game. Alongside X and Lorenzo, Kyle still has yet to fully make amends with Daphne, who was largely responsible for orchestrating his demise in Code Red, and Jayson, who was his enemy, alongside X, on D & B’s Survivor: Blood vs Water. While Kyle has a history of besting his many vendettas, this season, he is soaked up to his shoulders in bad blood. Will he make it out alive?
Lorenzo ( kingliam) | Vet (Season 2, 8th; Season 3, 21st)
As the biggest personality in Kingdom of Ice, Lorenzo holds the record for most nominations survived in one season (5). After the house spent most of the season targeting Lorenzo, he managed to prevail and force the pawns beside him into early departures. Apart from his XXX-rated showmance with Daphne, however, he has had very little luck making any allies. Bad blood takes a human form in Kyle, who has been Lorenzo’s biggest rival since Season 2. While the insults began at a game-level, Lorenzo targeted Kyle, and his showmance partner, Chanelle (who he dubs as “KKKyle” and “Cuntelle”), in deep, personal attacks when confrontations reached a boiling point in Code Red. Kyle had the last laugh when he rallied the house against Lorenzo, resulting in a very early eviction for his second go-around. Now that Lorenzo is back, will he get his revenge on Kyle and Chanelle? And will he try to up his social game, or will it once again be a fight to the finish?
Fierce, charming, and not afraid to say she’s a little worried, will the only female rookie find her footing in the BBUK house? Madison hopes to put her beef aside with whoever she needs to, but admits that it’s highly unlikely that it’ll work out. Her bad blood? Tris. They’ve played many groups games together, and they always seem to be at each others throats. While social game is key, is Madison’s friendly personality going to be enough to keep her out of harms way?
Megan ( adamslater19) | Vet (Season 1, 14th; Season 3, 5th)
Hellbent on erasing her Summer of Secrets reputation after walking for personal reasons, Megan prevailed as a strong, under-the-radar player in Code Red. In spite of this, she never minced her words— she’s known as one of the most savage, unapologetic housemates, with many people labeling her a “bitch” by the end of her season. Her biggest vendettas this time around are results of her endgame move to flip on her all-girls alliance with Aimee and Daphne, which caused Daphne’s eviction and an explosive fight with Aimee, who swore that Megan is not a “girl’s girl.” Will the claws come out when all three ladies reunite, or will Megan find a way to make her second final?
While this housemate plays with her heart, she also knows when to make game moves—and she also is the only housemate to go entirely unnominated throughout a season of BBUK. Stylish and sweet, she made waves during her rookie season when she changed the game with her care package, negating three eviction votes and initiating the demise of Yandere, her longtime rival, along with his entire alliance. While some of their confrontations turned into physical altercations, Praskovya claims to have forgiven Yandere— but will old wounds resurface in the Bad Blood house? Also, after her alliance shattered at the end of last season, will she forgive Jayson, her former ally, who she deemed as deceptive, or will a little bad blood lead to retribution along the way?
Going into a house full of vets, Rodrigo isn’t looking to get stressed or cause drama. Instead, he’s hoping to form the necessary bonds to survive. But will his sassy, emotional side come to the surface as the game goes on? It might be hard for him to keep it cool when he finds an old vendetta in James, someone who nominated him in Suitman’s Big Brother. Later in the game, Rodrigo was evicted. He called out James on his way out the door for being “up his ass” during his HOH week. All fakeness aside, can the two forgive and forget, or will there be bloodshed?
He assumes that there’s no possible bad blood that awaits him in this house, but how will Tris react when he sees Madison, someone who he’s been up against in many other group games? His plan is to “lay low” and stay loyal. But is that even possible in a season called “Bad Blood”?
A bombastic, loud, and chaotic villain, X has never been afraid to take risks or run alongside the danger zone. After he arguably ran the game during Code Red up until his eviction with his multiple game-changing powers, the house of under-the-radar players turned on X, resulting in his early departure. One of the guiding forces in his eviction was Kyle, who he’s gone toe-to-toe with in the BBUK house and D & B’s Survivor. Along the way, they’ve had many blow-ups. Also in the house is Daphne, who X spent much of his rookie season gunning for, resulting in her spearheading moves against him, as well as Chanelle, who also led the charge against X in Code Red after he ridiculed her gameplay. Will his reputation as a mega threat destroy any chances he has of succeeding in the game, or will X redeem himself and manage to make it to the end?
Despite being public enemy #1 in Fresh Meat, Yandere managed to assemble a powerful majority alliance. His good standing in the game was soon after destroyed, when numerous care packages resulted in the decimation of his alliance, leading to their evictions, one-by-one. All three of the players who used care packages against his alliance are in the house this season: Adelaide, Jayson, & Praskovya. Now that he’ll be face-to-face with some of his biggest adversaries, many of which simply did not like or respect the way he played the game, can Yandere finish what he started in Fresh Meat and find a way to draw in the majority, or will his game, once again, fall at the hands of his bad blood?
