Big Brother Rule Book

The Big Brother Rule Book is a handbook of rules and regulations for houseguests during their stay in the house. These rules must be followed at all times in the house, and violations of the rules leads to punishments for the houseguests, in extreme cases being ejection.
==Rulebook==
===Language & Behavior===
* Arguments and fights are always permitted as long as they do not become too extreme, or break out into violence.
* Discrimination against other houseguests, or in general, on the grounds of sex, race, sexuality, etc will always lead to extreme punishments like ejection. This includes behaviour outside of the house.
* Players may not show other houseguests images or clips of conversations with other houseguests.
===Gameplay===
* Cheating on any competition will result in the player being disqualified from the competition. Repeat offenses will result in automatic nomination, and then ejection.
* Refusal to compete in any competition will result in a warning, then an automatic nomination, then an ejection. This rule is sometimes ignored in the case of a valid reason (such as medical or mental health reasons) for not competing.
* Talking to other houseguests about the game in areas/situations where production cannot observe the conversation will result is not allowed.
===Strikes===
Each rule violation may have a slightly different system of punishment than others, however most follow this format:
*First Strike: A light punishment, such as ineligibility for a competition, forced have-not, or isolation.
*Second Strike: An automatic nomination.
*Third Strike: Ejection from the house.
Ejection will always result in being blacklisted from the season. Being blacklisted may also occur due to events outside of the house, or events within the house that did not result in ejection. Being blacklisted means that the houseguest is no longer allowed to return to the season. In recent seasons, this has lost its effect, due to returning houseguests no longer being a part of the game after all stars.
