From dealing with different personalities to going on the block, the players have been tested in many ways throughout the game. Some of the most notable meltdowns have had a long-standing reaction from fans over the course of many seasons.
GinaMarie Zimmerman - Season 15
The 15th season of the show introduced the MVP twist that essentially sent Nick home. Quickly after the eviction, GinaMarie and her allies were quick to accuse other house guests of the flip to vote him out. However, it was GinaMarie that took the eviction the hardest.
She immediately began to sob over Nick leaving, locking herself in the bathroom. She began to attack the remaining house guests for not keeping him, calling them all out.

Kaitlin Herman - Season 20
Kaitlin was the 4th person evicted from the Big Brother house, but unlike many other house guests, she was given the opportunity to come back by assembling a 6-piece puzzle with the Bonus Life app twist. When she failed to do that, she broke down and was still sent home.
The house guests watched as Kaitlin struggled to put the puzzle together in a short amount of time. She broke under pressure and lost her way during the entirety of the mission. It was heartbreaking to watch her fumble at this seemingly easy task to get back into the house. However, she broke down during the challenge when she felt she was out of time.

This alone would give her a second chance to be another Big Brother house guest to The Challenge.
Zach Rance - Season 16
When Frankie became public enemy number 1, he came up with a plan to tell the truth about his sister and his social media presence. He used this as a way to save himself. However, Zach didn't buy it.

There were countless times Michelle let her emotions get the best of her. However, this moment was unexpected when she began to cry about being perceived as a "violent person."

However, the house guests were there to comfort her, and even Paul let her know that it was just an accident and he was perfectly okay.
Chima Simone - Season 11

After Jeff's eviction during the double eviction in season 13, it was clear that Jordan and Rachel were upset. They now had to continue on without the rest of their alliance. However, Jordan took it the worst when she took all of her anger out on her former ally, Shelly.
Although Shelly had every reason to turn her back on Jeff, Jordan couldn't look past this and had a full-on meltdown as Rachel held her back. She ultimately felt betrayed and hurt, which made sense as to why she broke down crying. It was also one of the biggest betrayals that season, with both Jeff and Jordan never really forgiving Shelly. This was one of few moments that Jordan seemed aggressive towards another house guest. However, she usually came across sweet and innocent during most of her time on Big Brother, where she had many iconic quotes.
Jen Johnson - Season 8
