Cole Dennis
"Introducing Cole, a 22-year-old with a razor-sharp mind and a creative soul, hailing from the heart of Little Rock, Arkansas. This season, Cole steps into the Fishtank, leaving behind the familiar hustle and bustle for an unpredictable journey beneath the watchful eyes of the cameras. With his trusty pencil, notebook, and ruler by his side — extensions of his analytical and methodical nature — Cole is ready to sketch his way through the highs and lows of the competition.
A natural-born leader as characterized by his Aries star sign, Cole possesses an unstoppable drive and an ambitious spirit. His comfort items are not just tools but symbols of his love for precision and order amidst the chaos of the house. Whether he is strategizing his next move or jotting down observations of his surroundings, these items are his armor in an environment where every moment is under scrutiny.
While Cole is an adaptable contender, he carries with him a strong aversion to cats, dogs, peanuts, and shellfish — a cluster of dislikes that might present unexpected challenges in the shared living space, where preferences and personalities often collide. One thing is for sure: Cole's distastes are as clear-cut as his strategic thinking, and his ability to navigate a house filled with the unpredictability of human (and perhaps pet) nature will be a compelling narrative to follow.
Will the structured world he crafts on paper hold up under the disorder of Fishtank living? Can Cole, with his elemental fire sign energy, ignite alliances and outwit opponents to come out on top? Keep an eye on the Fishtank as we watch Cole draw out his path to victory or erasure."

Cole Dennis
- '80s Hair: Had a pretty rocking one on his leaked photo, but he had it cut in time for the Season's start.
- A Man Is Always Eager: He seems under the impression men only watch Fishtank to they can spy on the female constestants.
- Obfuscating Disability: Not him. He begins to claim TJ is faking his stimming, possibly to ride off Josie's popularity.
- Surrounded by Idiots: He doesn't seem to regard the other contestants with much respect.
"As I say, these people are mostly idiots. And I'm in it to win it."
- Wrong Genre Savvy: Cole seems to think he is in some sort of Detective Drama, rather than a humiliation endurance contest that Fishtank really is. So far, he has spent his first day looking over every single object in the house like a point and click adventure game character, and interviewing people for "clues", as well as immediately deciding most of the staff and cast are plants.
JC
"Meet JC, a vibrant and multifaceted contender hailing from an eclectic background that spans the lush landscapes of Taiwan to the rugged beauty of Canada, and now rooted in the evergreen embrace of Oregon. JC enters the house with a suitcase filled not only with essentials but with an aura of mystery and a mind sharpened by the pages of fantasy and romance novels. Their passion for these genres teases a depth of imagination and emotion, offering fellow housemates a glimpse into myriad worlds where every conversation can become an adventure.
But do not be swayed by JC's love for whimsical tales alone; their fascination with the human psyche is underscored by a diligent pursuit of psychology and criminology literature. This unique blend of interests suggests a competitor who is as adept at navigating the labyrinth of the mind as they are at untangling the complexities of the heart. Amidst the strategizing and alliances, JC's insight could prove to be their greatest ally—or a formidable tool in deciphering the motivations that simmer beneath the surface of their housemates' camaraderie.
An aficionado of life's simple pleasures, JC's affinity for Dumdum suckers or lollipops stands as a sweet contrast to their intellectual leanings. Perhaps it is this balance between earnest study and childlike joy that will endear them to the others, or maybe it will be the very thing that keeps them a puzzle too intriguing to ignore. As the weeks unfold in this crucible of social dynamics, will JC's multifaceted personality and strategic acumen lead them to emerge as the Fishtank's linchpin, or will the isolation reveal layers even they have yet to discover? One thing is certain, the house is in for an unforgettable six weeks with JC as one of its keystones."

JC
- Baby Of The Bunch: JC is only 18 years old, beating Ella's previous record. Notably, this makes her the only Fishtank contestant that legally cannot drink or smoke.
- Loud Sleeper Gag: She snores loud. It took one night for it to become an in-joke with the other fish.
Jimmy
"Meet Jimmy, our charismatic contestant from the picturesque town of Guilford, Vermont. At the youthful age of 27, his zest for life and intriguing hobbies are rapidly becoming the talk of everyone else in the house. Born under the sign of the dependable Taurus, he personifies many of the qualities associated with it—practical, reliable, and a lover of the beautiful things in life.
One of the things that sets Jimmy apart is his love for creating homemade eggnog, using a secret family recipe passed down through generations. This festive activity, more than just a hobby, is a tradition that Jimmy has carried with him all the way from Guilford. His ability to charmingly whip up this delightful concoction may be the key to creating heart-warming bonds and alliances in the house, making the trials of the Fishtank a little easier on everyone. However, every individual has their strengths juxtaposed with their fears. For our fun-loving Jimmy, it's the sight of cockroaches. In the far-flung landscapes of Guilford, he may have been spared from frequent encounters with them, but now, confined and away from the exterminating comforts of his home, any unexpected mufti-legged surprise could become a challenge.
Jimmy brings a mix of jovial energy and unique skills to the mix, coupled with a healthy dose of down-to-earth charm characteristic of his persona. Let's see how he uses these to navigate the complex web of challenges in the Fishtank!"

Megan
"Introducing Megan, a spritely 23-year-old from the inviting town of Sandusky, Ohio, with a flair for creativity and a panache that's as bold as her star sign, Leo.
Megan's zest for life is as colorful as her favorite pastime — watercolor art. With every stroke of her brush, she brings to life the vivid hues of her imagination, promising to infuse the same creative energy into our already dynamic group within the house. Not one to be pigeonholed, this Leo's roar is as multifaceted as her interests; her retro cd player is the portal to her soul, spinning discs that set the rhythm to her days and sparking impromptu dance parties that might just electrify the atmosphere of the Fishtank.
When she isn't swirling paint or grooving to throwback hits, Megan can be found in the heart of the home — the kitchen, whisking together ingredients with the same artistry she applies to her canvases. Baking is more than just a hobby; it's a way for her to conjure sweet delight, and a guarantee she'll be winning hearts, if not through strategy then surely through stomachs.
Prepare yourselves for a journey filled with zest, brushes with colorful personality, and the delightful aromas wafting from the oven.
