Big Brother: Stranger Things

Big Brother: Stranger Things is the third season of Essix's ORGs.
The winner of this season was Dawn, with Tyler as Runner-Up.
This season is mainly praised for its very diverse cast, with every ORG player archetype present. The underdog Tyler, the under-the-radar perfect game winner Dawn, the fallen angel comp beast Andrew, the middle ground emotional player Shelby, the big bad villainous wolf Aiden - and more.
Despite its great cast, there were many speed bumps during the season's run. Firstly, two players quit in the first week of the season - Ella and Meels, Social Experiment returnees. Then, the two replacements were very inactive, so much so that one was ejected, and another replacement had to be found! However, when Aiden stepped in as a replacement, everything seemed to be going smoothly. 
Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. On the 13th July 2022, at Week 3's Power of Veto challenge, the season was paused for two days due to Essix going to hospital. Even though he was okay, it still made the season a lot slower and lowered the morale.
In October 2022, Karen, Olive, and Gigi all returned as team leaders in Social Experiment II. They lead the Purple, Olive, and Pink teams respectfully. Gigi was ejected for pretending to be a different race. Olive made it to 12th place, but decided to surrender her game in The Pit. Karen beat their original placement by one, coming in at 6th place.
As the standout players from their original season, Andrew, Aiden, and Dawn all returned as All-Stars in Survivor: The Emerald City. Despite all three making it to the merge, their paths diverged as they did not form a strong alliance. Aiden, known for his cunning strategic play style, was voted out in 10th place, even with an idol in his possession. Andrew found himself in a three-way tie with Dawn, but his public report titled "The Case Against Dawn" backfired as it led to the vote being turned against him. Finally, history seemed to repeat itself when Dawn, the highest-placing winner of All-Stars, utilized an Extra Vote advantage to break the tie and eliminate Dyer, mirroring his move against Aiden in their original season.
Karen won her third Essix's ORGs season when she returned for Big Brother: Roulette in summer of 2023. She was the team leader of the Hearts team, representing social players who can win over the hearts of others. 
== Twists/Changes ==
* Upside-Down Week: Right after the Week 2 eviction, houseguests were called to one by one to nominate two fellow houseguests for eviction. After the nominated housemates are revealed, the Power of Veto will be played as normal. If the Veto is used, the Veto Holder is immune and another nomination session will take place for the replacement nominee. After the final nominees are set, the HOH competition will take place, with the previous HOH and the nominated houseguests to be excluded. The winner of the HOH competition will cast the sole vote to evict.
* Diamond Power of Veto: The Diamond Power of Veto was introduced as the final veto power in the final 7. It allowed the holder to save a nominee from eviction and name the replacement.
* Double Eviction: Three houseguests are nominated for eviction, with two being evicted. The voting process for this round is that the houseguests vote to save a nominee.
** Spectator Poll: The first two nominees were nominated by the HOH, Andrew; the third nominee, Aiden, was nominated by a spectator poll.
