YouTubers are competing for $25,000 in a 'Big Brother'-like reality series - these are the 13 contestants
"The Reality House" is hosted by YouTuber duo Kian Lawley and JC Caylen, whose channel has 3.5 million subscribers. "I’ve never been this excited about a project in my life," Caylen said in a video announcing the show.
First off, there's Chad Tepper, a YouTuber with 1.1 million subscribers, who describes his channel content as "a lot of stupid stunts like you see on Jackass."
A few of the contestants are lesser-known YouTubers who are friends with hosts Kian and JC, like Corey La Barrie. "Nobody wanted me here, and I'm f------ back, so let's go," La Barrie said as he walked into the "Reality House" mansion.
There's Crawford Collins, who appears to be a last-minute choice to replace a high-profile contestant who didn't show up: Tana Mongeau. "Honestly, I'm only here because Tana didn't show up, but I'm not complaining about it," Collins says in the episode.
The contestant that's likely least familiar to viewers is Omar Castillo, aka CrayCrayRoc on YouTube. He only has 61,000 subscribers, but he's better-known as the father of host JC Caylen. "I'm known to do stupid s---," Castillo says in the show premiere.
The only luggage that Dominic DeAngelis, aka Dommy D, brought to the "Reality House" mansion was a case of White Claw spiked seltzer.
Elijah Daniel was most recently in the news for renaming a Michigan town "Gay Hell" for Pride Month. "I'm not a f------ YouTuber, but I am here to make YouTubers cry," Daniel said in his intro on the YouTube show. "There are no allies in this Fake Big Brother house. I will 'yeet' you off the f------ balcony if I have to."

The Kansas-born Jake Webber has a relatively small following compared with others in the house, with just 763,000 subscribers. He often appears in collaborations with popular YouTuber duo Sam and Colby.
YouTuber Jenn McCallister is known as "jennxpenn" on her channel, which boasts 3.6 million subscribers. Much of her content in the first episode revolved around her fanbase's niche foot fetish community.
Kristen McAtee is a member of the group of online creators called the "Vlog Squad," which is headed up by David Dobrick. "I hate swimming, but there's a pool," McAtee said upon entering the house.
Lauren Riihimaki, whose channel "LaurDIY" has over 9 million subscribers watching her beauty and lifestyle videos.
Sarah Baska is a comedic creator who got her start on Vine, but has since continued producing videos on YouTube for 1.4 million subscribers.
One of the YouTubers on the show has Big Brother experience: Trisha Paytas, who stayed only 11 days in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2017 before leaving. The "Reality House" premier episode already hinted at tension between Paytas and other contestants, so there's bound to be drama.

Rounding out the 13 YouTubers is Zach Clayton, who releases music under the name "BadZach" for more than 1.8 million YouTube subscribers.
New episodes of "The Reality House" will go up on YouTube for the next nine weeks every Friday at 3 p.m. ET.
