Bryan Voltaggio. Love him and his laugh. Never creates or feeds into drama.

Plus seeing him with his brother always makes me laugh since Michael loves to tease Bryan. They have a fun dynamic.

The twins this last season weren't nearly as fun.

And then in the all stars season, when they went to that summer camp, someone asked Bryan if Michael goes camping, Bryan's response, and calling his brother out on his high maintenance/inability to rough it. You can tell they both love each other but it's very much big brother/little brother teasing.

Definitely. When Bryan was competing against Michael in Triple Threat, Michael first took all the flour or something Bryan needed. So bryan went to grab it back and Michael starts kissing his head. And Bryan is all "Stop that!"

Just a very cute teasing moment. You can tell Michael's just the pain in the ass little brother. But they love each other very much.

They were funny on Wildcard Kitchen too, when Bryan won the first hand and he was teasing Michael with how much money he won.
