Red calls himself a ‘Chillbilly’
On the BB25 premiere episode, Red referred to himself as a “Chillbilly,” a cross between a hippy and a hillbilly. “A chillbilly is someone that’s a lot more accepting of the people around him,” Red said, before explaining that his time in the military allowed him to experience different people from diverse cultures.
