James Huling is a fan-favorite Big Brother houseguest and his quirky personality is certainly fun to watch.

James, a 32-year-old staff recruiter from Wichita Falls, TX, initially played on Big Brother 17 and has returned to the series' 18th season for a second chance at the $500,000 grand prize.

James can't help but criticize this season's batch of houseguests because, so far, they've been switching up alliances constantly and getting into arguments with one another. However, James always keeps things light and fun.

As of now, James is part of the house's majority "8 Pack" alliance. He appears to have loyalty to Da'Vonne but it's unclear who his "ride or dies" -- according to houseguest Paulie Calafiore -- are. He seems onboard to stick with his fellow veteran players Da'Vonne, Frank Eudy and Nicole Franzel.
