Let’s meet The Big Brother Season 7 cast, and start diving into what could make or break their game with surprises, alliances, and all the drama.
1. Ava Martinez – The Strategic Queen
Age: 27
Hometown: Miami, Florida
Occupation: Data Analyst
Why She’s One to Watch: Ava describes herself as, “calculating but charming,” and she’s there to play chess while everyone else is playing checkers. In her pre-game interview, she told producers she’s watched every season since BB10 and even drew out alliance maps of what she thought might happen.
2. Jaxon “Jax” Lee – The Chill Villain
Age: 25
Hometown: San Diego, California
Occupation: Surf Instructor / Part-time Model
Why He’s One to Watch: Jax is charming, but he also told producers, “I’ll stab backs with a smile.” His “chill dude” nature could easily mask what could be one of the season’s more cutthroat strategies.
Strategy: Use a showmance for cover, then pivot.
Scandal Alert: TikTok detectives say he was kicked out of a party after getting into a fight with a fellow influencer.
3. Camille Thomas – The Microphone Maven
Age: 31
Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia
Occupation: Podcast Host
Why She’s One to Watch: Camille is incredibly strong in social strategy. As a previous podcast host for a relationship show, she’s great at asking searching questions, listening to people—and leveraging it all against them.
Strategy: Become the confidant of everyone, and then use it against them.
Scandal Alert: Fans found old tweets that suggest Camille had a blatant incentive to manipulate.
4. Hunter Blake – The Alpha Competitor Age: 29 Hometown: Austin, Texas Occupation: Firefighter
Why He’s One to Watch: Hunter is already being called the “comp beast” by viewers. He is strong, fast, and strategic, but will he burn himself out too soon?
Strategy: Win a ton of HOHs and form a solid “Bro Pack” alliance.
Scandal Alert: It’s been rumored that Hunter’s ex-girlfriend threatens to release some DMs mid-way through filming the season.
Producer’s Notes: Just figure the calculations based on how many people think there will be multiple active play dates, all we know is that there will be a couple.
5. Riley Brooks – The Pageant Queen Turned Player Age: 23 Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee Occupation: Former Miss Tennessee
Why She’s One to Watch: Because of her pageant, she is great under pressure, don’t be fooled; she’s not here to appease her houseguests, she’s here to win.
Strategy: Float early, flirt for a couple weeks, then win the second half of the season.
Scandal Alert: Will she get cancelled for an old controversial TikTok that’s deemed nasty for trash talking other players weeks before they are televised?
Producer’s Notes: Byrd cannot telegraph that they all knew each other and had various playdates when the show beganTo603;
6. Marcus “MJ” Jones –
The Brainiac Age: 34 Hometown: Boston, Massachusetts Occupation: Professor of Game Theory
Why He’s One to Watch: A literal PhD in strategy. MJ is the most unpredictable wildcard of the entire cast. He has accurately predicted final two placements in past seasons, now he gets his chance.
Strategy: Influence but not lead. Direct but do not hold power.
Scandal Alert: He was accused of “rigging” a college poker tournament. The charges were eventually droppedWho597; although fans still have a negative opinion of him.

8. Dominic “Dom” Rivera – The Undercover Actor
Age: 30
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Occupation: Struggling actor/barista
Reasons we think he is one to watch: Dom is trained to lie, perform, and adapt. All crucial skills for a game of perception. Basically, Dom is made for a game where perception is reality.
Strategy: Pretend to a clueless person. Attack when people least expect it.
Scandal watch: Leaked audition tape showing Dom assuring producers he will start a showmance “no matter what.”
Twists in the game this season
The Secret Room: A secret room entered only by completing cryptic clues. Contains advantages and punishments.
Doubling down: Two HOH, each with two nominees. Expect two evictions. Oh wow!
The power of America: Viewers will vote each week to award powers such as safety, Veto power boosts, and sabotage of other housemates looking for strategy.
Building Alliances and Foes: What’s Going Down in the House?
In week 1, we witnessed the formation of two major alliances:
The Power Six – Ava, MJ, Camille, Hunter, Riley, and Taylor. There’s strategy, strength, and social skill.
The Underdogs – Jax, Dom, and two lesser-known housemates: Olivia (a kindergarten teacher) and DeShawn (a former marine).
Sparks have flown—both romantic and strategic. Riley and Jax have been spotted whispering in the wee hours of the morning, and Camille suspects MJ of playing all sides.
Drama & Scandals
So far, here are some of the scandals and drama we’ve encountered:
Camille Links Ava to Pre-Game Relationship: During a game of truth-dare-Tell, Camille references Ava’s rumored pre-game relationship with BB18 runner-up Nathan Stone. Ava denies it—but the internet thinks otherwise.
Hunter’s Veto Rant: After losing the first veto by a slim margin, Hunter was caught on camera smashing a plate in frustration. Producers told him not to do it again.
