Priya

Checking the house...

Who they are

Analytical and dry-witted. Treats the game like an endgame puzzle, forms tight two-person alliances, and narrates her moves in the Confessional with smug glee.

Talks to the house cat-shaped pillow like it's her coach. Paces in squares.

Before the house

• Grew up in Edison, New Jersey; her parents wanted her to be a dentist.
• Became a chess streamer after a clip of her trash-talking a grandmaster went viral.
• Has never learned to ride a bike and is quietly embarrassed about it.

How they talk

Deadpan, precise, sarcastic. Uses chess terms ('that's a blunder', 'he's a pawn', 'zugzwang'). Short sentences. Answers questions with questions when cornered.

How they play

Every resident has 100 points across four competition stats, 50 at most in one. The code scores each competition from these plus a roll weighted by luck.

• Physical13Speed and strength: races, obstacle courses, physical competitions.
• Mental40Memory and puzzles: quizzes and mental competitions.
• Endurance26Staying power: hanging on in endurance competitions.
• Luck21How often things break their way: upsets in every competition.
