Big Brother 7: Sweet Sabotage
In BB7, Ephe proved to be a solid and independent player, despite being a new face. They quickly aligned with Celever, and rode out the pre-jury phase of the game under his wing. However once jury began, they began to play a bold yet wise game of their own, as they managed to persuade Vom into making a horrible game move for her own game, but great for theirs in keeping Celever at week 4. Despite this move to save Cel, they began to distance themselves from him, and their game was put in jeopardy after Vom was evicted at week 6. They bounced back, however, and made the social ties with Jade and Flour (once he returned) to be covered on all sides, playing Cel's and Jade's sides against each other, and set themselves up to win in almost every Final 2 combination possible. Making it to the end with Flour and a lot of respect for them in the jury already, they won decisively in a 5-2 vote.

Big Brother 8: Friends & Enemies
In BB8, Ephe had a lot to live up to after their victory in the previous season. They quickly set up conversations with half of the house, along with doing well in competitions and earning safety for Week 1, but didn’t take the initiative to set up alliances, instead talking about things such as scores and targets. Ephe was in a relatively secure spot through virtue of simply talking to people and pledging loyalty to the powerful Violet, but they ended up telling Flour that they were going after Lorde at the end of Week 1. Flour then told Lorde, who manipulated the placement of chips in Week 2 to backdoor them. With no significant allies, they were eliminated by a unanimous vote.

Big Brother 10: Scramble & Conquer
Ephe entered BB10 in a very solid spot. They immediately linked up with Flour, NP and Violet to form Hibana, the alliance that would dominate the game start-to-finish. They also had other reliable allies in the members of the Winner's Circle and Nick. Right from the beginning, Ephe claimed the Conqueror's Insignia during the Hit The Road competition, an advatage that would allow them to steal a vote and vote twice at a later eviction. Over the course of the pre-jury portion of the game, Ephe juggled these relationships carefully, and voted in the minority multiple times to make sure all of their allies would continue to trust them. Once they reached the jury phase, however, they put all of their eggs in the Hibana basket, fully intending to ride out the alliance to the end. Working with NP to keep Almonds in check, they helped ensure Aria's eviction, using the Insignia to take Flour's vote, and cover up Hibana's existence to outsiders. Ephe continued to work to take out all of the outsiders, and eventually reached the Final 4 with their alliance. After NP convinced them Flour was going to win the jury vote, they voted to evict Flour once they won the POV. At the Final 3, Ephe won the Juror Removal, and chose to remove Aria due to her disdain for them. Once NP took them with him to the Final 2, Ephe fought hard to try and gather the jury votes, but NP's game was much more respected, and they lost the jury vote unanimously.

Big Brother 12: Beach
In BB12, Ephemera found their game going all over the place. Though they managed to establish the Don't get 12th to 10th group alliance with the other winners Hermes and Mars, and form a good relationship with Brave. After winning the first HOH of the season, Ephe chose to play a game with the houseguests, where those who sent the least cool Pokémon stuff would be nominated. During the week, Ephe managed to anger Aria, alienate Hermes, and failed to establish any other strong relationships. The week established their reputation as a wildcard and untrustworthy, led a very rocky start. As a result, when Draskk wanted Ephe backdoored the following week, he was able to convince Anna to do it, and then rally most of the house behind the move, sending Ephe out by a vote of 6-2. Ephe received a second chance with the Comeback Chamber, however, and worked to make it to the Re-Entry competition, which they ultimately won and Re-Entered the house. Despite entering at a good time, with immmunity for the week and tensions running high, Ephe failed to capitalize on this. Though they made up one-third of the Triumvirate alliance with Mars and Anna, Hermes was able to get both to turn on them within the same week it was made, and ultimately sent Ephe back to the Comeback Chamber by a unanimous 5-0 vote. Upon entry, Ephe decided not to continue playing, as they believed they had no shot at winning anymore, with Ephe leaving and becoming the second member of the jury.
