The women of the new "Baywatch" reboot may be bringing the heat on camera ... but behind the scenes, there's competition brewing over who's becoming the franchise's next breakout bombshell.
A source on set tells TMZ ... there's some "tension" over who's filling the Pamela Andersonlane in the modern version of the iconic series ... and the contenders are Brooks Naderand Livvy Dunne.
Brooks certainly has the edge when it comes to screen time ... because she appears in virtually every episode ... while Livvy is only featured in three episodes -- less than half the season.

FKA Twigs was told early on by an indie band to leave the past behind and pick a new musical moniker ... according to emails the band says it sent back and forth with her in 2013.
Here's the deal ... back in March, FKA sued the band The Twigs -- an indie group formed by sisters Laura and Linda Good in 1994 -- claiming they'd sent her a series of cease and desist letters demanding she either stop using her stage name or pay them more than $1 million in compensation.
The Twigs fired off a countersuit against FKA for trademark infringement last week ... claiming, over the last few years, the star has stopped using "FKA" and simply gone by "Twigs."
Jalen Hurts' absence from A.J. Brown's wedding might not be as spicy as folks are making it out to be ... 'cause NFL legend Julio Jones tells TMZ Sports he, too, got invited to the nuptials -- and even though the groom is a good friend, he unfortunately couldn't make it either.

YUNGBLUD's team is firing back after Machine Gun Kelly savagely blasted the singer in an alleged viral social media comment taking aim at his ill-fated tour.
Here's the deal ... the drama started after YUNGBLUD posted a video saying "live music has become inaccessible," part of his push for cheaper fan experiences through projects like BLUDFEST.
MGK responded with a blistering, alleged since-deleted comment accusing YUNGBLUD of canceling a tour because he "couldn’t sell tickets" while publicly blaming mental health struggles. He also mocked YUNGBLUD's ticket prices before ending the tirade with a profanity laced insult, calling him a "silver spooned preachy wanker."
Now, a rep for YUNGBLUD tells TMZ ... "Dom has not commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour and finishing his next album."
The rep adds ... "He genuinely hasn’t got time to engage in any of this but we wish MGK the very best."
The clash is especially shocking considering MGK and YUNGBLUD were once practically inseparable during the pop-punk revival era ... constantly collaborating, appearing together and running in the same Travis Barker circle.
Fans have suspected tension for years after the two noticeably stopped publicly interacting and now they're embroiled in a full-blown war of words.
Sources connected to the series tell TMZ ... the four cast members were informed back in April that their contracts would not be renewed ahead of production on the upcoming season, which begins filming this week in Los Angeles.
Senator Tim Kaine has all sorts of advice on the probable Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce prenup ... shop around for the best place to write it, but don't dwell on it 'cause it could sink your marriage!!!
We got the Senator from Virginia Tuesday in the Capitol, and asked about our story that it might be advantageous for the soon-to-be-newlyweds to ink a prenup in Rhode Island.
Jacob's inquiring mind wanted to know if Congress should pass a federal law making the rules of the road for prenups the same in every state. Kaine, who's a Democrat, professed a somewhat Reagan-esque view, saying the feds should only pass laws when there's an issue of national importance. He also thinks states can learn from each other by comparing.
But Kaine left Jacob with some sage advice for T&T ... don't spend too much time thinking about prenups -- bad luck!!!
Influencer Gabbie Gonzalez unsuccessfully tried to get a former MMA fighter to intimidate her baby daddy, Jack Avery ... before she decided to look for a hit man to take him out, according to the criminal complaint.
According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Gabbie and her pal Kai Cordrey, who is also charged over the alleged scheme to have a hit man kill Jack, went to Dustin Barca, a former professional fighter and boxing trainer. Dustin has a 4-0 record in his pro career.
Gabbie and Kai tried to convince Dustin on March 23, 2021, to threaten, scare, or force Jack to leave Kauai, per the criminal complaint.
The alleged plot to kill Jack Avery wasn't supposed to look like a murder at all ... at least according to cops, who say Gabbie Gonzalez talked about making it look like a deadly car crash.
That particular part of the alleged plot is interesting because, as it turns out, Gabbie's accused co-conspirator in the murder for hire plot is her father, Francisco Gonzalez ... who is a longtime personal injury lawyer. Police say Francisco actually bankrolled the alleged hit.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, investigators say a witness told them Gabbie and her friend Kai Cordrey discussed the alleged hit as "potentially going down in Los Angeles and being made to look like a car accident."
Influencer Gabbie Gonzalez's estranged husband appears to be celebrating her arrest for an alleged conspiracy to kill the father of her child, and her former nanny/roommate is also a key witnesses in the case.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, McKenzie Ferry and Cody Clayburn are witnesses who spoke to cops investigating the case ... and told them boy band singer Jack Avery was the target.
A source with direct knowledge tells us ... McKenzie is the former live-in nanny for Gabbie ... and she first alerted authorities to the alleged murder-for-hire plot back in 2021.
Senator Ted Cruz and Charlie got in a heated exchange ... over President Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund that might compensate January 6th insurrectionists at taxpayer expense.
Charlie was blunt ... as a taxpayer he didn't want to pay people who committed violence at the Capitol. The Senator from Texas shot back with a question ... Was Charlie concerned about President Biden weaponizing the Justice Department against peaceful protesters as well as President Trump himself?
Charlie pushed back, saying this wasn't about Biden in the past ... it was about Trump in the present -- giving money to January 6th rioters who were convicted of violence.
