James Huling

Huling appeared as a contestant in the 18th season of Big Brother. He was a part of Team Unicorn (along with Bronte, Natalie, and Victor) and the "Eight Pack" alliance (alongside Da'Vonne, Tiffany, Frank, Nicole, Zakiyah, Corey, and Michelle). On Day 1, Victor was the last one standing in the first competition, which meant that their entire team would be immune through the first two evictions. In Week 5, Huling won the Head of Household competition, his first win of the season. Despite making a deal with Bridgette not to nominate her, he decided to backtrack on this deal and nominate her and Frank for eviction, choosing to target the latter. When Michelle won the Power Of Veto and kept the nominations the same, the house unanimously evicted Frank by a 9 to 0 vote. In Week 7, Huling received the second America's Care Package, which will give him the power to nullify two houseguests eviction votes at the live eviction. On Day 58 during the first live double eviction, Huling chose to nullify Corey and Paul's eviction votes. Also, he, Bridgette, and Natalie decided to blindside Paulie and Nicole by choosing to evict Zakiyah in a 3 to 2 vote. Huling was nominated for the first time by Victor on Day 80. However, he managed to survive eviction. On Day 92, James cast the sole vote to evict Corey. James was eventually evicted by Paul on Day 99, making him place 3rd.

Huling is currently tied with Janelle Pierzina for the record of 2nd most days spent in the Big Brother house, at 177 days.

In October 2016, Huling confirmed that he was in a relationship with former Big Brother 18 houseguest Natalie Negrotti, with whom he had an ongoing "showmance" throughout the season. In April 2017, Huling announced on Periscope that he and Negrotti had broken up.

In week 10, HOH Vanessa nominated Huling and Meg with Huling as her target. However, Huling won the veto. At the veto ceremony, he removed himself from the block, and Vanessa named Julia as the replacement nominee. Huling tried to convince Steve and John to evict Julia. Before the eviction ceremony occurred, Julie told the houseguests that it was double eviction week. Ultimately Meg was ousted by a vote of 4-1 with Huling voting to keep her. After Meg's eviction, Liz became the new HOH. She then nominated Huling and John for eviction. Julia won the veto but kept the nominations the same. Ultimately, Huling was evicted by a unanimous 4-0 vote. He came in 7th place and became the 5th member of the jury.
