Bayleigh Dayton played Big Brother 20 and Big Brother 22, and both games ended the same way: she trusted someone with a secret, it reached the other side, and she went out from the block next to an ally. In BB20 she told Rachel about her secret power, Level 6 heard about it, and she became the season’s first juror. In BB22 she told Christmas that Da’Vonne was her untouchable, and Christmas nominated them both. Both times, the Head of Household who put her on the block also won that week’s veto.

- Power: Identity Theft (BB20), won by America’s vote and never used

- Showmance: Swaggy — he proposed at the BB20 finale, and they married the next year
Big Brother 20
Bayleigh started a showmance with Swaggy and lost him to a backdoor in week 2. Her side of the house, first FOUTTE and then the Hive, spent the summer losing to Level 6. America’s vote handed her the Identity Theft power, which could replace the nominations at one ceremony. In week 5 she won HOH, nominated Brett and Rachel with Brett as the target, and told Rachel about the power to settle her as a pawn. Tyler won the veto and left the nominations alone. Rachel went home 5–4, Brett stayed, and word of the power reached Level 6.
The next week Haleigh used the Hacker power in secret and suspicion fell on Bayleigh. Angela, the HOH, won the veto, pulled Tyler off the block and named Bayleigh as the replacement: “It’s hard, I want to go off on Angela so bad!” After a house meeting that ended in a shouting match with Tyler, she was voted out 6–1 over Rockstar. She lost the jury Battle Back to Scottie and voted for Kaycee in the 5–4 finale. On the finale stage, Swaggy proposed.
Big Brother 22
She came back for All-Stars married to Swaggy and stayed safe for four weeks, voting with the house every time. Da’Vonne was her closest ally, and when Christmas won HOH in week 5, Bayleigh told her Da’Vonne was her untouchable. Christmas nominated both of them, with Bayleigh as the target, then won the veto herself and did not use it. The two had a loud argument on the feeds that week. On 10 September 2020 Bayleigh went out 9–0, one week short of the jury.
