KP ships in the Big Brother house

KinnPorsche

Kinn enters the house as a fan, super stoked to be playing. His older brother, Khun, is the one who got him and his cousins interested in Big Brother. (Y’know, back when they were all on good terms)

He enters the house with this absolute Adonis of a man whose name he learns is Porsche. Kinn makes sure to claim a bed right next to Porsche because he will not be giving up the chance to ogle the man as he dresses

Eventually all the houseguests greet each other and Kinn is thinking his time in the house is off to a great start. Until the producers announce that season's first twist: the next set of houseguests to be introduced may not be strangers to everyone and Kinn just knows. He knows one of his family is going to be in the BB house with him this summer

Sure enough, who walks through the doors but Vegas with his infuriatingly smug grin

The house quickly devolves into "Kinn's side" and "Vegas's side"

Vegas plots like hell and can sway many of the houseguests his way but Kinn and most of his allies are comp beasts and manage to dominate most of the HoH and (less) PoV wins

There is an unlucky week where Kinn gets chosen as a Have-Not. His only consolation so far is that Porsche is also a Have-Not this week and their suffering together has brought them closer

Kinn learns a lot about Porsche as they groan about eating slop. Porsche is a recruit - he's only ever seen one season of Big Brother before, recommended to him by producers, and he fell asleep halfway through. He has only the barest of game strategies in mind and he's mostly here for the chance to win some money for his brother's college fund. Kinn is so enamored

On a particularly bad day in the house, three separate fights blowing up that day, the slop just makes the bad day worse. Porsche looks so defeated and Kinn can't stand it. They're cuddling in the Have-Not room and hoping he can make Porsche feel better, Kinn goes in for a kiss. Luckily, Porsche is very happy to engage in a makeout session and from there, they're officially in a showmance

Tawan is a houseguest who had a fledgling crush on Kinn and got super jealous of Porsche for getting with Kinn. Because of his jealousy, he decided to work with Vegas to get Porsche evicted but it ends with Tawan getting evicted in week 3

Big volunteers to be a pawn during one of Kinn's HoH weeks, and ends up being the one evicted that week

Immediately after Big's eviction, Kinn's side finds out that Ken, who they thought was part of their group, had switched to Vegas's side and cast the tie-breaking vote that sent Big home. Ken gets evicted the next week

Vegas keeps getting nominated for eviction, but he either manages to grab PoV or wrangle enough votes from the other houseguests to stay

Porsche gets evicted when there are 5 houseguests left. That week's HoH put both Kinn and Porsche up for eviction. On eviction night, Vegas voted to evict Kinn, the last houseguest voted to evict Porsche, and the HoH cast the tie-breaking vote to evict Porsche.

The houseguest who evicted Porsche as HoH reaches top 3 with Kinn and Vegas. In the top 3, Kinn wins final HoH and surprisingly chooses to bring Vegas with him to Final 2. Call him petty, but he still has a grudge against the other remaining houseguest for getting Porsche evicted. Plus, it's not like he thinks Vegas actually has a chance of winning against him

Kinn wins with a jury vote of 5-2. Porsche wins Favorite House Guest, so they both get to walk away from the BB house with money in their pockets

The very next day, both of them enthusiastically announce on IG and twitter that they’re officially dating

KimChay

The very next season, both Kim and Chay compete. They were both approached by Big Brother production to be one of the twists of the season: three of the houseguests will be related to previous BB players. Out of the three of them, whoever lasts in the competition the longest compared to their relative will win $10k.

In his intro package, Kim drawls, "Unlike my brother last season, I won't risk my game for some guy, no matter how attractive they might be." (the comments on the yt clip of this are so heated once the season ends)

So into the house they go. Since Kinn won his season, Kim knows the only way for him to get the $10k is if he wins and the other two houseguests get evicted from the house sooner than their relatives were. Kim would really like that $10k to help fund his fledgling music career

Chay is mostly doing this for the Experience and the chance at some money. He saw how Porsche did and figured why not. Then who does he see in the house but Wik - the super hot guy he's seen on tiktok who has an amazing voice. Oh. Oh no.

The twist about the three related houseguests is dropped and all the houseguests are in a frenzy. They're determined to figure out who could be one of the three in hopes of getting them out asap. Kim is grateful is he dyed his hair recently for a music video because it makes it that much harder for people to see the resemblance between him and Kinn

Chay's starstruck-ness about Wik helps him out here. His face was so *pikachu face* even before the twist was announced, the other houseguests figure that's just how he is. Even as he is mildly freaking out about how he looks way too much like Porsche. He's just thanking everything out there that he introduced himself as Chay instead of Porchay

And then the competitions are on. Kim makes sure to not perform too well in comps but still places decently. Chay is absolutely the social butterfly of the house

When Chay shyly expresses his admiration of Wik to Kim, Kim immediately knows he can take advantage of that and agrees to ally with Chay. Similar to canon, Kim dips his toe into flirting with Chay and then Chay runs with it. KimChay are officially a showmance before the first week is over

They make it through most of the game without any major hiccups. Chay is over the moon with how his summer is going. And then the sword drops. When there's 6 houseguests left, Chay gets nominated for eviction. Luckily, Kim does not.

Then, Kim wins PoV! Everyone goes into the veto meeting expecting a new nominee to be announced, because of course Kim is going to use the veto on Chay, his showmance

Except...Kim doesn't use the veto. Everyone's staring at him with their mouth open. Kim explains how he figured out Chay is Porsche's brother and one of the three houseguests eligible for the $10k prize. And since Porsche was evicted with 5 houseguests left, this is the last chance for Chay to get evicted before possibly winning the prize

With an indecent amount of sly talk, Kim manages to reveal this while not revealing that he himself is also one of the three houseguests eligible for the $10k

Chay gets evicted that week and hugs everyone but Kim on his way out of the house

From there, people side eye Kim a lot in the house but he manages to maneuver his way to Final 2

In an uncanny reflection of the previous season, Kim wins with a jury vote of 5-2 and Chay wins Favorite House Guest

People online went crazy during the live finale when Chay pointedly did not vote for Kim to win and would turn away anytime they were close to making eye contact

In all the post-finale interviews, every interviewer asks KimChay about each other and it is Awkward for everyone every time

The internet is strongly divided between people who want KimChay to get back together and people who think they should never talk to each other again

KimChay themselves only state they'll talk things out privately and then they never mention each other again on their respective social medias. People take this to mean they went their separate ways

Which is why the internet freaks out yet again when four months later, Chay posts a photo of him and Kim on a double date with Kinn and Porsche

VegasPete

Vegas comes back to Big Brother to play in a later season as one of four "vets" or returning BB players.

Just like in his first season, the house quickly gets split between two factions. On one side is Vegas and his allies. On the other side is a group that's headed by one of the other vets: Arm. With Arm are superfan Pol and recruit Pete.

Vegas plays pretty similarly to his first season, scheming his way through the house. He initially tried swaying Pete to betray his alliance but got annoyed when Pete just smiled at him and refused to play along. After that, he mostly forgets about Pete and targets other members of that alliance.

One week when Arm's side of the house has HoH, Pete volunteers to be a pawn to be nominated for eviction against one of Vegas's allies. However, Vegas campaigns hard against him and the week ends with Pete getting evicted. He becomes the first member of that season's jury

After Pete is evicted, Pol becomes HoH. He and Arm backdoor Vegas in return for Vegas getting Pete evicted. Vegas ends up getting evicted and sent to the jury house

At the jury house, it's just Pete and Vegas. And without anyone else, without any cameras, they find it surprisingly easy to talk to each other.

Vegas opens up about always being compared to his cousin, even before Kinn beat him at the BB game on national television. And how he can only imagine the ridicule he'll face once this season of BB is over. Pete opens up about never being seen in general. Talking leads to...other things and that week where it's just them in the jury house is one of the most liberating weeks either of them has ever experienced.

When Big Brother broadcasts segments from the jury house, some people raise their eyebrows at how friendly Vegas and Pete seem with each other. But the moments in the jury house don't last long because it's revealed there will be a Battle Back and one of the first five jurors will get to return to the Big Brother house

Vegas wins the Battle Back and reenters the house. The rest of the houseguests are so wary of him at first but quickly get mystified because he seems somewhat calmer now? Like he's not as erratic? But they quickly remember that Vegas is still a strong player when he immediately wins HoH and PoV in the same week, sending his most prominent opponent Arm out of the house

Vegas makes it all the way to Final 2 and once again loses the jury vote. Predictably, he's bitter about it in the post-show interviews but after the immediate aftermath, he's pretty silent on social media

Vegas contacts Pete almost immediately after the show is over and they get into a relationship. Somehow, they manage to fly under the radar and no one notices. Probably because the public's attention is quickly caught on the news that Kinn and Porsche are engaged

VegasPete never officially state they're dating. The public only finds out when KinnPorsche share photos from their wedding and people spot Pete there with Vegas's arm around his waist in every. single. photo.

Misc

BB fans have coined the name TK group when referring to KinnPorsche and KimChay - two Theerapanyakul-Kittisawasd pairings dominating both the BB game and the fans

Depending on which group of fans you talk to, Vegas may or may not be included in the TK group, because of his last name and the fact that he did win money from BB. Vegas himself isn't sure whether he wants to be included in the group

The matter of whether TK group should also refer to Vegas is settled a couple of years later when another Theerapanyakul enters the Big Brother house and wins - Macau. With the inclusion of both Vegas and Macau, TK group is talked about a lot as the family with the most money won from Big Brother

Speaking of Macau's win - for three whole days after Macau wins, Vegas's twitter account is just quote retweet after quote retweet of any mention of Macau, with Vegas captioning "That's my brother!"

Macau does not end up in a relationship with someone from his BB season, or any other season, much to the relief of his family and the disappointment of fans

Upon finding out that Khun exists, the public quickly starts a fan petition to get him to compete on Big Brother as well. Knowing that he'd immediately be targeted because of his family, Khun waits until there's a season of Celebrity Big Brother, then competes in that and absolutely smokes the competition
