Veggie Brother (series 15)

Veggie Brother (series 15), also known as Veggie Brother 15 and Veggie Brother 2021.3, is the fifteenth series of the online reality TV show, Veggie Brother. This is the twenty-second series to be broadcast on TiBB1. It launched and premiered on 12 September 2021, and will run for 86 days ending on 6 December 2021.
Veggie Brother 15 was announced in early Spring 2021, as an early series renewal due to the success of the thirteenth series. Despite being produced after the COVID-19 pandemic, the safety measures were still put in place (see below).
The winner of Series 15 was 24 year old sales associate, Raleigh Bierman, with Fernando Weldt and Willem Nagel coming in second and third place respectively. 18 housemates participated, with no walks or ejections.
==Production==
===Auditions===
Veggie Brother picked the housemates by having them selected out of civilians living in the world's English-speaking countries. This series, as the pandemic was still occurring, open auditions with celebrities were held online via Zoom. Also, this series, in order to keep things diverse as possible, half the cast was BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and from outside the United States. Footage of the housemates learning they would be housemates was used in the introductory videos.
===Presenters===
After Josiah Stuart stepped down as main host after series 13, it was announced that Alexandra Morgan would be the new host of Veggie Brother. Alexandra, Dominic Verita, and Willow Benson would return as panellists for the analysis show. Josiah Stuart will return to host the digital elements of the show by doing extended interviews with the evictees every week on Twitch; and will be hosting the reunion episode towards the end of each series.

===Format changes===
For the fifteenth series of Veggie Brother, the new format trialed in the thirteenth series will also be returning. 
*Head of Household: This series, the Head of Household (HoH) will return. Free from the threat of eviction, the HoH will have the power to nominate someone for eviction. The HoH will also be exempt from being a Have-Not.
*Power of Immunity: The Power of Immunity (PoI) makes its return from series five. The housemate that wins the PoI will have the power to save themselves or someone else before nominations are to begin. The PoI holder will also have the power to nominate someone for eviction. The PoI will be in play until Final 6, unless otherwise noted.
*Nominations: The HoH will nominate 1 person, then the PoI holder will nominate a second person, and lastly, the HoH's nominee will nominate a third person. Occasionally, the Big Phone and/or a twist will nominate an additional 4th or 5th nominee.
*Power of Veto: The Power of Veto (PoV) also makes a comeback this series, but with a twist. Whenever a nominee wins the PoV, they are automatically taken off the list of nominees. The PoV will be in play until Final 5.
*Evictions: Much like the eighth teen series, in lieu of public voting, the housemates would be voting to evict. The HoH will only vote in the event of a tie. When 3 or 4 nominees face eviction after the PoV, the nominees will also vote. The housemate(s) with the most votes will be evicted.
*Final: At the Final 3, the power shifts from the housemates back to the viewers; as the public chooses which finalist wins the £7,500,000 prize.
When housemates break rules, the striking system will be enforced. When a housemate receives three strikes, they will be ejected from the game.
For this series, Have and Have-Nots was discontinued due to viewer complaints.
==Prizes==
This series, in addition to the winner receiving the biggest prize in VB history: £7,500,000; the winner will also get a £1,000 gift certificate from show sponsor Veg Mobile, a trip of a lifetime courtesy of Unendlich Ein Airlines worth £15,500, and a photo spread and interview in Starweek Magazine.
==Production changes==
Veggie Brother uses a customised version of the worldwide logo for Big Brother. This series is the second with a consistent eye for every series.
For the first time since Veggie Brother Infinité, the first eviction would happen at the end of the first week.
Most episodes would now be between 10 to 60 minutes long, depending on the type of show. This series, unlike the previous two, the nominations shows and analysis shows were separate from the eviction shows; and with the pre-finale reunion show, gives the series 40 episodes.
This series also gains a new theme song and style for the title sequence, as the names and faces of the housemates will appear; and will be grayed out as people are evicted. The theme song is now the one used during Big Brother Australia's eighth series.
===COVID-19 Safety Measures===
Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, special safety measures and protocols will be strictly observed by both the housemates and the production staff.
*Remote Hosting: With the exception of the analysis shows, the majority of the hosting will be done remotely from Josiah's home.
*No Live Audience: Similarly to last series, Veggie Brother 2014 will not be having any live audience throughout the series.
*Weekly Testing: The housemates and every production member on the compound will be given weekly PCR nasal swab tests. 
*Partial Lock-In of Production: The show's editing and camera operator teams are required to stay within the confines of the house throughout the series.
*Disposable Utensils: The housemates are given their own set of single-use utensils made of recycled cardboard.
*Single Beds Only: In contrast to previous seasons with double beds, this season's housemates would have their own bed.
==The House==
The entire compound, including the house, was rebuilt. With the rebuild also came compound rearranging due to COVID-19 restrictions. A new studio building was built just 0.25 kilometres away from the front door of the house.
===House Photos===
The house was the exact same house as the previous series. This series' house has darker interior design, featuring state of the art appliances, LED lighting (with casings made from recycled yoghurt containers, and furniture made from recycled products. This year's house once again has two new addition that weren't present in the old house design: the Green Lounge, where housemates can talk about the game; and the Eviction Room, where the housemates go to find out eviction results. This series also revamps the Garden by enclosing it with a roof and lights that simulate the movement of the sun.
Technical changes were also evident in the rebuilt house. Like the previous series, camera runs were replaced by AI cameras; with mirrors being completely removed.

* Day 71 was a double eviction. Following the first eviction, the remaining housemates played another (albeit modified) eviction cycle — an HoH competition, Nominations and Eviction ceremonies – during the extended 45 minute episode, culminating in a second eviction for the night.

* Although no on-air announcement was made; the full voting results revealed Willem came third and Fernando came second.
