Sam loves musicals and wants to marry Matt in a musical style wedding, despite the fact that she cannot hold a note. She defends her family despite their boisterous nature.

Josef is an incredibly competitive tennis player. His competitive nature is also seen through his jealousy of Isabelle's friendship with her coach.

Isabelle

The combination of Isabelle's competitive nature and her lack of confidence about her appearance makes her come across as needy throughout the competition.

Michael

Played by: Robert Webb

Michael has been a naturist all his life and cannot begin to understand why anyone should be embarrassed or shy about the naked body.

Joanna

Joanna only became a naturist when she met Michael and thus lacks confidence being naked outside the confines of the home.
