Beautiful Contestant (Mackenzie)
They immediately dislike each other after he steals her bed, which seemingly caused her to sabotage him in the next challenge: According to her, she offered him flirting advice which probably led to him talking about himself nonstop during the challenge.

Your Character (America's Most Eligible)
He is the only character that starts off liking you. You can decide to flirt with him or get angry with him based on his behavior. In Chapter 4, you can choose to tell him that a likely reason he is in the bottom two is that his selfish and obnoxious behavior has irritated most of the contestants, which Zeke and Bianca/Teagan agree with.
