Full Million Dollar Secret cast guide & social medias
1. Cara
Cara is a 29 year-old In-N-Out cook who says that she has a solid intution that she thinks she can rely on through Million Dollar Secret. Unfortunately, Cara told Netflix's Tudum that she thinks she might have a problem with sending home other players, saying, "I care a lot about people’s feelings, and I never want to hurt anyone."
2. Chris
Chris, 34, is the CEO of a beverage brand and he thinks his Ivy League education will help him outsmart the other competitors on Million Dollar Secret. He said that he wants to build trust with the other players and plans to hide the fact that he's already made it in business as a CEO, but isn't afraid to flip the switch when the time comes. "I want to gain a reputation in the house as a straightforward, trustworthy player and then cash in all of that trust for a late-game deception that will put me on the inside track to win a million dollars," he told Netflix's Tudum.
3. Corey
Corey is 38 and a builder who says that having and sticking to a plan might not be the best way to play Million Dollar Secret. He told Netflix's Tudum, "Strategy can only take you so far in this cutthroat house." Instead, he said he plans to focus on being in the moment and not worrying too much about what other people in the house or viewers at home think of him as he plays.
4. Harry
Harry, a 59 year-old photographer, says that he's not a fan of lying and would rather avoid telling the other players things if he can avoid it instead of outright deceiving people. He told Netflix's Tudum that he thinks being relatable and friendly will make it easy for him to get along with the other players, but it might make them think he's an easy target. "I am good at putting people together and at ease, but that could make me an immediate target, too."
5. Jaimi
Jaimi, 42, is a life coach who thinks that being able to connect with people and her intution will help her get ahead in Million Dollar Secret. Although she told Netflix's Tudum she thinks she can be "too nice," she also said that she thinks she's a good liar and that she plans to use her social skills to get ahead in the game. "I can put on a face and be an actor."
6. Kyle
27 year-old Kyle is a construction worker who confessed to Netflix's Tudum that unlike the other players, he's actually a terrible liar. "I am liable to start laughing immediately post-lie," he told the streaming service's publication and hopes that being honest and open with the other players will keep them from seeing him as a real threat.
7. Lauren
Lauren, 35, is a stay-at-home mom from North Dakota who says she hopes to get ahead in the game without having to do too much lying and deception, telling Netflix's Tudum that she wants to set a good example for her kids and not have to betray her morals in order to beat the other 11 players.
8. Lydia
"In our society, a woman my age is invisible. It’s easy to be overlooked and underestimated," Lydia, a 64 year-old retired escrow agent from Texas, told Netflix's Tudum. Even though she may look like a harmless grandma on the outside, this professional poker player says she's hiding something under the surface and hopes that the other players will take her at face value so she can slide in and win the prize money.
9. Phillip
Dr. Phillip is a 41 year-old college professor with over a decade of experience working as a therapist, meaning that he knows how to read people and look between the lines of what they're saying, which he plans to use to his advantage. Phillip said he plans to be friendly and open with the other players to make them feel comfortable doing the same thing with him. He told Netflix's Tudum that all that thinking could be his downfall, though. "I tend to think through every possible scenario, and sometimes the simplest answer is the right one."
10. Samantha
Samantha is a 41 year-old police officer who plans to lie and manipulate her way through the game by convincing the other 11 players that she's a harmless stay-at-home mom who couldn't tell a lie if she tried. "I've hung out with a lot of toads in Vegas just to sit at a table in a club and not spend a dime," Samantha told Netflix's Tudum about her ability to play into other peoples' feelings in order to get what she wants.
11. Se Young
Se Young, 35, is a Systems VP and lifelong lover of video games, which she told Netflix's Tudum makes her particularly excited about joining the cast of Million Dollar Secret. "I am thrilled to be playing a game nobody has played before," she told the publication and said that she's prepared to lie and scheme her way to the prize money.
12. Sydnee
"My greatest strength is my looks," Sydnee, a 32 year-old working in medical sales, told Netflix's Tudum. She told the streaming service's publication that she wants to play up her good looks and pretend that she's not a threat because of it, but then turn around and surprise them by stabbing the other 11 players in the back when they least suspect it. "Everyone dismisses me based on my outward appearance. It's happened my whole life and can serve its purpose when needed."
