Cara

Age: 29

Job: In-N-Out Cook

Instagram: @caralidia

Cara believes the time she has spent with her friends and family might be what helps her in the competition, with her citing their game nights to be have 'trained' her for Million Dollar Secret.

Chris

Age: 34

Job: Beverage brand CEO

Instagram: @callennd

Chris is hoping that his leadership skills and ability to stay cool in the face of conflict will benefit him during the game.

Speaking of his game plan, Chris told Tudum: "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."

Corey

Age: 38

Job: Builder

Instagram: @1coreyniles

In the run-up to taking part in the series, Corey has been strategising, but he is prepared to throw it all away the moment he steps into the lakeside estate.

"Strategy can only take you so far in this cutthroat house," he told Tudum. "I wrote these words down in my journal as a reminder before entering the house and will read them every night before bed: 'Let them judge you, let them misunderstand you, let them gossip about you. Their opinions are not your problems.'"

Harry

Age: 59

Job: Photographer

Instagram: @harrydonenfeld

Harry is no stranger to rubbing shoulders with wealth, having photographed multiple billionaires, so Million Dollar Secret should be a walk in the park for him. Right?

Jaimi

Age: 42

Job: Life coach

Instagram: @jaimialexander

Jaimi plans to keep her ear to the ground to learn more about her fellow players, especially when it comes to what they have to say.

"I'm going to try not to talk too much, which is not easy for me," Jaimi told Tudum. "I really just like people and connecting with them."

Kyle

Age: 27

Job: Construction worker

Instagram: @kyle_wimberley

Kyle plans to be completely honest about himself in the game, hoping that this will throw the other plays who will think his "truths are actually lies". But is this the wisest game plan?

Lauren

Age: 35

Job: Stay-at-home mum

Instagram: @laurenmidwest

Lauren was "trained to pick up on subtle changes in behaviour and tone" and as she heads into the game, she hopes to prove to herself and her children that she doesn't have to "betray my morals and values to be competitive".

Lydia

Age: 64

Job: Retired escrow agent

Instagram: @diatexasgrandma

Lydia seems like your typical grandmother, something she plans to use to her advantage in the game. One thing people may not guess about Lydia is that she has been playing professional poker tournaments for 30 years, which may work in her favour.

Phillip

Age: 41

Job: College professor

Instagram: @phil_roundtree

Phillip has 15 years of experience working as a therapist and through his career, he knows how to read people and gain their trust through vulnerability and transparency.

Samantha

Age: 41

Job: Police officer

Instagram: @sammysep

Samantha won't hesitate to manipulate people's emotions, but worries that others will do the same as she cites her biggest weakness to be "caring and letting my heart get involved".

Se Young

Age: 35

Job: Systems VP

Instagram: @seyoung

In preparation for Million Dollar Secret, Se Young has been putting time into "lying to people around me about inconsequential things".

Sydnee

Age: 32

Job: Medical sales

Instagram: @syd_liana_

"My greatest strength is my looks," Sydnee told Tudum. "Everyone dismisses me based on my outward appearance. It's happened my whole life and can serve its purpose when needed."
