BB22 Pre-existing Relationships

***Big Brother 22: Winners at War*** was an all-returnee season, where the winner of each of the first nineteen seasons of the *Big Brother SIMulator* competed in the same single season. Because the majority of houseguests in the season played in multiple seasons and socialized within the community of previous houseguests, all entered with a variety of **pre-existing relationships** unprecedented even in other returning player seasons. The following are summaries of the pre-existing relationships of each returning houseguest for the season.

## **Kyla Jones** (Winner of *Big Brother 1*)

   *Played with:* Bella, Stephanie, Tianyu, Cassie, Kamil, Luke, Delilah

The very first winner in franchise history, Kyla has left an undeniable legacy that will paint her as a big target. At the same time, her withstanding presence in the franchise and multiple season returns — *Big Brother 4*, *Big Brother 6*, *Cast Competition 1*, and *Big Brother 11* — afford her a number of relationships few other houseguests in franchise history can claim.

From her original season, Kyla has two fellow houseguests she will be seeing in the Winners at War house. Kyla is entering the game with her sister, **Delilah**, who will be an undeniable ally throughout the course of the season, and with whom she dominated the *Big Brother 11* house. She is also playing for the second time with **Luke**. While she played a hand in voting him out, Luke noted there is no bad blood between them, and that he is eager to work with her in the game. Whether Kyla feels similarly seems to be up in the air.

In *Big Brother 4*, Kyla and *Tianyu* made a successful run of the game, going all the way to the final three before Tianyu cut Kyla just short of the finale. Despite this near betrayal so close to the end of the game, the two maintain a strong friendship and will assuredly be close friends and allies in the Winners at War house.

The majority of players in the season who Kyla has played with come from her time on *Big Brother 6*. Albeit brief, Kyla was able to connect with many other winners in her time on All-Stars, even if they did not work with her in that specific season due to her high profile. As the first three winners and three strong female players, Kyla, **Bella** and **Stephanie** maintain an understanding and friendship they plan on taking with them into the game. By proxy, Kyla also has an in with **Cassie**, sister of Bella who also competed in All-Stars. While Kyla had little to no relationship with All-Stars winner **Kamil** inside or outside of the game, it seems that at a minimum the two will not be targeting one another right out of the gate.

Where Kyla runs the greatest risk is with more recent players, many of whom seek to make a name for themselves among iconic houseguests and do not have close relationships with any of the old-school winners.
