113. Todrick Hall (Celebrity Big Brother 3, 2nd place) [11/11]
I waffled a bit between my next three entrants, and ultimately what it came down to was this - the other two didnt outright ruin their seasons, while CBB3 was an absolute disaster and that can be traced entirely back to Todrick. If Im being totally honest, early on I thought Todrick could potentially be one of the most entertaining members of the CBB3 cast. He seemed both snarky and self-interested enough that he could be a fun troll a la Survivors Trickster archetype (Fairplay, Tyson, etc). Unfortunately, certain character types dont exactly translate well to Big Brother where the extended downtime edit (footage shown in episodes that are not challenges or ceremonies) plus live feed coverage make it harder to hide just how crappy certain people really are, and Todrick really suffered from that. Whereas vain Survivors like Tyson or Sydney come across as very tongue-in-cheek, Todrick seemed to really just think he was better than everyone there. From the very start he was playing both sides of the house and then threw Mirai and Teddi under the bus for doing exactly the same, resulting in two potentially decent characters being the first two boots. He then proceeded to get a screen-hogs edit spending the rest of the season hiding behind doors talking shit about anyone and everyone who wasnt in the room at the time, acting like he was Gods gift to earth. The worst came when he gaslit Shanna for playing both sides, even though she was more of a double-agent, not only getting her eliminated but literally getting giddy over her friends saying really nasty things to her. It was such an uncomfortable set of scenes to watch and while Meesha was bad too, she at least expressed some remorse in confessionals, while Todrick just fucking enjoyed it and thought it was the most brilliant move in Big Brother history. I do understand that his and Meeshas backs were up against a wall at that point and they were throwing everything they could out there to stay in the game, but theres a fucking line and Todrick crossed it big time.

He then went on to bitch and moan like a baby when people didnt find his showboating at his nomination ceremony funny (again, I dont really have too much of a problem with him clowning around with something that is normally very regimentally-scripted to an annoying degree, but good God, dont act like youre entitled to get a laugh out of people that are already fed-up with your shit) and continue to just put down everyone else left in the game in such a mean-spirited way that in the eyes of the jury, it totally negated what they thought was actually pretty good gameplay. This is demonstrated perfectly with Todd, who, upon being evicted, said he was definitely giving his jury vote to Todrick, but then came back on finale night and voted for Meesha (unlike a normal season of BB, CBBs jury does not have to sequester, meaning they can go home and watch the season and live-feeds and catch up on everything they were not privy to in the house). To the surprise of absolutely no one, the only juror who voted for Todrick was Cynthia, aka the third-placer who was evicted just minutes before the jury voted and thus the only one who did not get to see the full extent of how awful he was. And after not only being nearly shut-out by the jury but also not even coming close to winning Americas Favorite, he chickened out of his exit press and went totally dark on social media, unable to reap what he had sown. So while his downfall was a bit satisfying, it just didnt have the same impact as, say, Jacksons a few years ago. What a terrible villain he turned out to be for a season that, given the quality of CBB1 and 2, I had such high hopes for.
