Big Brother 2

## Cast

**Big Brother 2** (*also known as **Sims Big Brother: Summer of Temptation***) is the second season of the reality TV competition, *Sims Big Brother (The Sims™ 4)*. After a record-breaking 99 days, the Jury crowned Vivian Pinhosa as the winner of the game over Greta Romano in a unanimous 9-0 vote. Vivian made *Sims Big Brother* history becoming the first African-American female to win, and play a Perfect Game (Not receiving any eviction votes, and getting all jury votes).

The season was titled "**Summer of Temptation**" with the various contestants able to receive a temptation which gave the taker a surprise reward or game advantage but also unleashed a game change for one or more other players. Viewers at home were able to vote to offer selected chosen players a secret temptation. A weekly opt-in competition, known as the Temptation Competition, would give the winner immunity from the week's nomination but also put the last-place finisher on the block as a third nominee, able to compete in the weekly Veto Competition and avoid a backdoor nomination.

The season was centered around the five-person alliance of the Backyard Crew which mainly focused on Bradley Hernandez, Jun Kim, & Vivian Pinhosa. Despite the fallout, the Backyard Crew is heavily-favored by the audience due their outstanding gameplay and entertainment values. The alliance is proven successful when Vivian Pinhosa was declared the winner by a unanimous vote, and Jun Kim was announced as this season's America's Favorite Houseguest.

This season had provided strong ratings and positive reception, received widespread acclaim by critics and viewers; deeming as a massive improvement comparing from the controversial previous season and "highly-entertaining" due to the high caliber of gameplay from the cast. It also ame under fire due to Rowan Austin-Mossle displaying bullying behavior against the majority of the house, mostly towards female houseguests.

## Background

### Development

*Big Brother 2* was confirmed on December 10, 2019 when Sims Reality Broadcasting Channel renewed their two-year contract to extend the series to Big Brother 3. Host Julie Chen-Moonves and Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan will be returning as executive producers for the series which is produced by Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol Shine North America.

Following the controversial nature of *Big Brother 1*, on December 17, 2019, SRBC announced that *Sims Big Brother* would be undergoing anti-harassment, unconscious bias and sensitivity training for future casts, measures they intended on placing with their other reality shows. On the live feeds, houseguests of *Big Brother 2* confirmed that they received extensive racial bias and sexual harassment training during their pre-show quarantine and sequester. Following an incident on *Big Brother 1*, this same training was applied to the production crew almost immediately, before later being applied to the entire cast for this, and future seasons.

### Casting

Despite not having an official renewal announcement from CBS at the time, casting for the season was open until November 2019. Kassting, Inc. returned to provide casting services for the upcoming second season since season 1 with Robyn Kass serving as the casting director.

It was then announced by *Sims Big Brother* host Julie Chen-Moonves that the houseguests would officially be introduced on February 24 at 11 AM ET/8 AM PT on the live feeds, after they were released an hour earlier.

### Air Schedule

The season features an initial time slot change; new episodes are set to air on a Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday schedule through the first six episodes before returning to a traditional Sunday/Wednesday/Thursday schedule as in previous seasons.

The 24/7 internet live feeds are also expected to return with a SRBC All Access subscription following the two-night season premiere on March 5. In addition, Big Brother: After Dark is expected to air on SRBC as well, also following the two-night premiere on March 5 or March 6, depending on viewers local time zones.

### House Reveal

As with previous seasons, the program is filmed at SRBC Studio Center, sound stage 17 in a custom-built two story house. The House is equipped with 94 high-definition cameras and over 113 microphones in order to monitor and record the houseguests. The living room, three bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and lounge room are located on the first floor. The Head of Household bedroom and bathroom, and an additional lounge area known as the "Sky Bridge" are located on the second floor. The second floor is accessible by a staircase located in the kitchen next to the sliding glass doors that lead to the backyard. The backyard area features outdoor amenities for the houseguests.

The house theme matched the season's overall theme and received a temptation theme; Production Designer Scott Storey designed the house's features. The living room features a 13-foot indoor wall fountain and includes dead poison ivy branches and flowering vine plants attached on the stone curtain walls. The house also includes an indoor gym, luxurious spa, and communication for the HOH that has never been seen before.

* **No Napping:** Similar to international versions, Houseguests cannot sleep during the day and must follow the mandatory curfew.
* **Relations with a Past Houseguest:** There were 16 all new HouseGuests. However, Bob Pancakes is the husband of Eliza Pancakes (*Big Brother 1* HouseGuest).
* **House Serpent:** As a result of the first temptation, the houseguests had to elect a "House Serpent" to rule over the house. The winner would have the power to banish eight houseguests to the Hit The Road competition where the loser would be the first automatic nominee of that week.
* **Hit The Road:** The eight banished houseguests from the House Serpent would be secluded to the backyard where they would have to battle to survive in order to prevent from being nominated.
* **Den of Temptation:** For the first three weeks, America will vote for one houseguest to enter the Devil’s Den in order to face a dilemma that could impact their game. But it’s always a game of risk vs. reward, as every temptation will unleash a consequence on the house.
	+ **Pendant of Protection** If one houseguest takes the temptation, they will be immune from the next three evictions. This power was won by Layla Summers.
	+ **Ring of Replacement:** If one houseguest takes the temptation, they will be able to swap places with one of the three players chosen by random draw if they’re not one of the six houseguests playing. This power was won by Rowan Austin-Mossle.
	+ **Halting Hex:** If one houseguest takes the temptation, they will be able to stop any of the next four evictions. This power was won by Bradley Hernandez.
* **Temptation Competition:** Following Bradley Hernandez's acceptance of the Den of Temptation, a new competition entered the house. Every week for the next three weeks, houseguests have the option to opt in to compete in a special competition wherein the winner would not only win immunity for the week, but will be tempted with an award in private and be given a secret power. Meanwhile, the last place finisher will be automatically nominated as a third nominee and a Have-Not of the week.
	+ **Nightmare Power:** After the Head of Household makes their nominations, the winner gains the ability to anonymously replace one of the two nominees selected by the HOH (however, they can choose not to). This power lasts for the five nomination ceremonies.
	+ **Chaos Power:** After the players have been drawn for the Power of Veto competition, if the winner is not satisfied with the player selection, they would be able to force the HoH and the two nominees to redraw the players. This power lasts until the Final Six.

		- **Blood Power of Veto:** If granted the BPoV by the Panic Power winner, the Veto Holder has the ability to Veto the evicted houseguest, which would automatically evict the remaining houseguest on the block, but the holder wouldn't be able to cast their own eviction vote.
* **Battle Back Competition:** Like previous season, the first four jurors will compete against each other for the opportunity to battle back into the house. However, the rules were different. The following two evicted houseguests will battle one on one. The winner of that round will move on to face another evicted houseguest, and so on. However, the winning juror will face off against a Challenger from the HouseGuests still in the game, determined by a vote. If the evictee wins, they will re-enter the game, but if the HouseGuest wins, then no one returns and the evictee is eliminated for good. Jun Kim ultimately won and re-entered the house as the Battle Back Champion.
* **Tree of Temptation:** Starting in Week 9, 10, & 11, the Tree of Temptation was activated. There are 5 apples, and before nominations, a HouseGuest can pick one by being the first to the Diary Room and saying they want to claim one when the lights on the Tree turn red: (Save a Friend, Can't Play in Next HoH, Bounty on Your Head, Eliminate 2 Eviction Votes, and Second Veto). If an apple is chosen, they will either get a prize or punishment. Whatever is received from the apple is only in play for the week it is chosen and must be used that week.
	+ **Bounty on Your Head:** In Week 9, Faysal Ibrahim chose the first apple and received the Bounty on Your Head punishment. Faysal was soon evicted for that week, granting HOH Layla Summers $5,000.
	+ **Save a Friend:** In Week 10, Ashleigh Lyons chose the first apple and received the Save a Friend prize. He chose to save Madison, granting her immunity for that week.
	+ In Week 11, nobody chose an apple, so there were no prizes or punishments given out to anyone that week.
* **America’s Road Trip:** Each week, two players chosen by America will compete in this competition. They would have an opportunity to participate in a competition and earn to unlock food, luxuries for the house, and other special prizes, courtesy of Big Brother.

Once all 16 new houseguests entered the Big Brother house for the summer, Julie Chen announced that this year would be the Summer of Temptations. Immediately, the houseguests were tempted with $25,000, but Julie warned them that every temptation comes with a consequence, or, a curse. After Bob Pancakes accepted the cash temptation with approximately twenty more seconds, Julie drops the first twist of the season: they will be electing a House Serpent. This person will have “unprecedented powers,” will be safe for the first week, but will also impact the first HOH. They each get one vote and can’t vote for themselves. During the process, the houseguests had a intense campaign between Madison Randall and Bob. In the end, Bob gets the House Serpent role. Not only Bob will be immune for that week, he will be tempted as he had the power to grant immunity to seven houseguests, and also, had to banish eight people to the first Banishment competition. Once Bob chose his seven houseguests, the other eight competed to win immunity until one Houseguest would be automatically nominated.

The houseguests competed in two teams for the first *Bowlerina* Banishment competition. The competing houseguests will have to spin around while holding onto metal bars above their heads. After a certain amount of time, a barrier will drop, allowing the house guests to attempt to roll a ball towards bowling pin shaped targets on the other side. After a certain amount of time, the barrier will rise again, requiring the house guest to repeat the process. During the competition, Tanner Knox decided to take the Temptation and got the Golden Strike, granting him and his team saved from the first Banishment competition. The other consisting of Ashleigh Lyons, Bradley Hernandez, Greta Romano, and Robert Santiago, decided who is automatically nominated through a competition rather than a house vote and faced off against each other in the second Banishment competition called the *Garden of Temptation*. In the dark, the competing HouseGuests must find their way through the forest back to the Big Brother house. Along the way, there are fake paths. The first three HouseGuests to arrive back at the House are allowed re-entry to the game while the fourth will be banished in 48 hours and returned as an automatic nominee. Robert failed to complete the competition in time, remained banished from the game for some time and cursed as the first nominee of that week.

The currently remaining HouseGuests competed in the first HoH competition: *Color War*. The competition was played in pairs. As House Serpent, Bob did not participate and was allowed to choose the pairs. Each pair had to hang onto a log suspended in the sky. If someone falls off their log, they were eliminated. The HouseGuest who remained on their log the longest became the HoH. Bradley Hernandez became the first Head of Household of the summer. Bradley formed "The Backyard Crew" alliance with Jun Kim, Tanner Knox, and Korbin Larson. After conflicts within the house impacted his decision, Bradley then decided to nominate Layla Summers alongside with Robert. His alliance's decision is suggested of their obvious inseparable bond and, seeing them as an early "Final Two" threat. Julie Chen then announced the Den of Temptation twist to the house, where for the next three weeks one House Guest would be tempted by America for a special power, but every temptation comes with a consequence. For the first temptation, America decided to tempt Layla with the Pendant of Protection, granting her immunity for the first three evictions. With her acceptance of the temptation, a curse was unleashed onto the house; one houseguest would be forced to nominate oneself during one of the next three evictions in addition to the HOH's two nominees. Jordan McDonough was then cursed and forced to nominate himself in the coming weeks.Bradley then formed a close friendship with Vivian Pinhosa and welcomed her to be an official member of the Backyard Crew.

When picking players for the Power of Veto competition, Faysal, Jordan and Korbin were selected to compete; Tanner was selected to host. At the *Fin to Win* veto competition, HouseGuests had to pull the plug on their water timer, causing it to drain. They had to then search the water for starfish and put them on their stacking shelf one at a time. If their water began to run low, they could collect water from the ocean to put in their timer. Once a HouseGuest's water timer was empty, their starfish were locked in. The HouseGuest with the most starfish stacked on their shelf after their water had drained would win the Power of Veto. Faysal Ibrahim won the first Power of Veto of the summer. After a full reconsideration with Bradley, Faysal decided to leave the nominations intact. The following days prior to the first eviction, some of the houseguests thought about keeping Robert. And since Bradley had a better relationship with Layla, he managed to convince his Backyard Crew alliance, with the help of Vivian's closest friends (Ashleigh Lyons, Jordan McDonough, and Rowan Austin-Mossle), to blindside Robert. But the night before the Eviction, Rowan Austin-Mossle raised suspicion of Bradley's strong affiliation towards Layla, she gave out a subtle confrontation but it all led to an explosive argument between her and the Backyard Crew. Rowan called a house meeting wherein the other houseguests effectively turned against Bradley and almost his whole alliance. Despite the huge blowout against them, Bradley successfully led Robert in a last minute blindside, with a help of Vivian, with a 7-6 vote, putting him in 16th place.

Following Robert's eviction, the HouseGuests competed for the *BB Fireworks Quiztacular* HOH competition. The HouseGuests watched a fireworks display. Julie then asked a question to which the correct answer is either red, white or blue. If a HouseGuest answers correctly they move on, if a question is answered incorrectly, they will be eliminated from the competition. The last HouseGuest in the competition will become the next HoH. Rowan became the new Head of Household. She began the week with creating a Final 2 alliance with Jordan as the "Canucks." At the nomination ceremony, she nominated her intended targets Jun and Madison with Jun being one the smarts behind Robert's blindside operation and Madison being disliked by the majority of the house. In the Den of Temptation, Rowan was tempted with the Ring of Replacement, allowing her to replace a player in the Veto Completion and play herself. When picking players for the Power of Veto competition, Heidi, Jordan and London were selected to compete; Faysal was selected to host. That night, HouseGuests competed in the *Raiders of the BB Relics* Power of Veto competition. In this competition, the six competitors dug for pieces with a letter on them; each letter had an assigned point value. The HouseGuest who made the correctly-spelled word that was worth the most points won the Power of Veto. Madison Randall was the winner of the Power of Veto. On Day 20, Madison decided to use the Power of Veto on herself and Jordan McDonough decided to nominate himself as part of the curse. Rowan attempted to blindside the house and target Layla, due to her strong association with the Backyard Crew, mainly with Bradley. However, once she announced that Layla was one of her nominations, Layla revealed the Pendant of Protection and that she was immune for the next three evictions. Still in need of another nominee, Rowan moved on to nominate her fourth HouseGuest of the week, Tanner Knox, due to being in an opposing alliance and known for being a strong social player. Despite the Backyard Crew planning to vote out Jordan on Rowan's HOH reign, Vivian instead decided to turn against one of her fellow allies, Tanner. In order to prevent Tanner from working with the two dueling sides of the house, her plan became set in motion with Ashleigh, Layla, Greta, and Bob to keep both Jordan and Jun in the game. On Day 23, the HouseGuests evicted Tanner by a vote of 5-4-2.

Following Tanner's eviction, the HouseGuests competed in the *Rude Awakening* Head of Household competition. For this competition, HouseGuests were asked true or false questions about fan-submitted messages they had heard the previous night; an incorrect answer resulted in elimination, and the last HouseGuest remaining was the winner. Madison was the winner. On Day 25, she nominated Bradley Hernandez and Korbin Larson for eviction, deeming them as the most negative people in the house. Following this, Madison, Heidi, and London formed a "Bodacious Babes" alliance in an attempt to go against the Backyard Crew. Both Bardley and Korbin attempted to convince Madison into backdooring Rowan, who they felt was running the house. When picking players for the Power of Veto competition, Greta, London and Faysal were selected to compete; Heidi was selected to host. That night, HouseGuests competed in the *Temple of Temptation* Power of Veto competition. For this competition, HouseGuests were required to go back and forth on a very shaky balance beam and hit a button 50 times. If they fall into the “lava pit,” their score goes back to zero, with the HouseGuest who finished first, won the Power of Veto. Madison won the Power of Veto. She initially followed the plan on backdooring Rowan, but unfortunately feared out from their plan due to Rowan's intimidation. On Day 27, Madison chose not to use the Power of Veto. On eviction night, Bradley and Korbin called out Madison's self-doubt of backing out from the backdoor plan, and Rowan using her manipulative strategy against the rest of the house. Rowan became instantly furious and but Julie Chen hushed her. The Backyard Crew alliance and their affiliates decided to vote Korbin out over Bradley, sending him home in a 6-5 vote.

Following Korbin's eviction, HouseGuests competed in the "Off the Wall" competition, which functioned as both the HoH competition. The HouseGuests and jurors were to stand on platforms and catch balls thrown at them without falling off. The first player overall to catch 10 balls or last to remain standing would be the new Head of Household. Ashleigh Lyons was the first to catch 10 balls and became Head of Household. Rowan soon attempted to control Ashleigh's HoH reign by manipulating her to nominate Jun as her intended target and Vivian as a pawn. But unbeknownst to her, it became clear that Ashleigh has align herself with the Backyard Crew, mainly with Jun, since she planned her HoH reign with them. Together, they decided it would be best to nominate Rowan's intended nominations, with a plan to backdoor Rowan. At the nomination ceremony, Ashleigh went through with the plan to nominate Jun and Vivian. During the Veto Picking, Rowan used her Ring of Replacement to take Bradley's place in the Power of Veto competition. When picking players for the Power of Veto competition, Rowan, Faysal, and Madison were finalized to compete for the Power of Veto; Bob was selected to host. That night, HouseGuests competed in the *Path of Least Resistance* Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests competed individually. They must go through a series of rooms and answer questions based on what they have seen throughout the previous rooms. If they answer a question correctly, they may walk through a quicker path. If they answer incorrectly, they must take a delayed path that contains a challenge that will slow them down. The HouseGuest to make it through all five areas in the fastest time will win the Power of Veto. Faysal won the Power of Veto. Following this, a plan was set in motion to evict Rowan from the house, resulting in Faysal using the Power of Veto to remove Jun from the block, with Rowan becoming nominated in his place. After the Veto meeting, the house soon erupted, with Rowan taunting and wreaking havoc against the majority of the house. As a last attempt to save herself, Rowan revealed about a secret member of the Backyard Crew to the entire house, but all of this proved critical when Rowan's fate was sealed, and so on eviction night she left by a unanimous 10-0 vote.

Following Rowan' eviction, HouseGuests competed in the *Check Mate* Head of Household competition. For this competition, HouseGuests faced off two at a time and were asked questions about the previously evicted HouseGuests (Robert, Tanner & Korbin); the winner of each round would select the next two HouseGuests to face off, with the last HouseGuest remaining being the winner. London Flores became Head of Household. Since Bradley accepted the Halting Hex, the Temptation Competition was unleashed onto the house, giving the houseguest the option to compete for safety. Not only the houseguest who comes in first would win immunity, but he/she would secretly receive a game-changing power, but the houseguest coming in last would automatically be nominated and an additional Have-Not. Vivian then won the competition and became immune for the week and earned the Nightmare Temptation Power. London and her alliance continued their plan to target the duo of Bradley and Jun, she decided nominate the pair for eviction. On Day 39, London, Bradley, Jun, and Jordan, accompanied by Ashleigh and Faysal, weathered the pain in the *Under The Weather* Power of Veto competition. The day before the competition, HouseGuests listened to a series of BB Storm Watch updates. In this competition, HouseGuests competed individually. HouseGuests looked at a teleprompter for sentences with blanks. HouseGuests had to report the weather and fill in the blanks with the name of one of the first four evicted HouseGuests while standing in a storm. If the sentence passes through the teleprompter before the HouseGuest fills in the blank, they will be incorrect. The HouseGuest who fills in the most blanks correctly will win the Power of Veto. Jordan was the winner. London and the Bodacious Babes still wanted to get out Jun due to being a threatening wit. Meanwhile at the Veto Ceremony, Jordan used the veto on himself. Since he was nominated by the competition, there was no replacement nominee. Just before the Veto meeting ended, Bradley attempted to scare the houseguests by announcing he held a special power that could keep him safe for the week. Despite choosing to call Bradley's bluff, London attempted to get Bradley not to utilize her power but the house was sent into chaos with fights erupting between alliances. All of this proved futile when Bradley decided to unleash the Halting Hex on eviction night, resulting in no eviction taking place.

Following Bradley's unleashing of the Halting Hex and cancelling of the eviction, HouseGuests competed in the *Big Brother Slalom* Head of Household competition. For this competition, HouseGuests stood on a pair of skis that moved from side to side with the goal of being the last one remaining; the last HouseGuest remaining on their skis would be the winner. Bradley was triumphant, winning the competition as the new HOH, with his alliance finally gaining control again after their downfall in the past four consecutive weeks. At the Temptation Competition, the Bodacious Babes devised a plan to ensure they would not get backdoored. Jun eventually came in first in the competition, winning immunity and the Chaos Temptation Power, however Jun decided not to claim the Temptation Power. Meanwhile, London purposely came in last, automatically becoming the third nominee. Since London was already nominated, Bradley decided to nominate two other houseguests other than those his alliance and his affiliates were targeting. After deciding he would rather see Madison leave this week than London, Bradley both nominated Madison and Layla for eviction with Layla as the pawn and Madison as his intended target. When picking players for the Power of Veto competition, Faysal and Greta were selected to compete for the Power of Veto; Vivian was selected to host.

Zingbot 9000 made its first appearance entering the house and the houseguests assisted him with his presidential campaign in the *Zingbot for President* Power of Veto competition. In each round of this competition, each HouseGuest shot an arrow at a map with a series of numbers. After a spot is landed on, it is out of play. The HouseGuest with the lowest score will be eliminated. However, when they are eliminated, they will open a prize. HouseGuests eliminated in future rounds will have the option to swap their prize with a prize that was already revealed. During the competition, London had to bake apple pies for the forty-eight hours, Bradley had to dress up as the Secret Service and pat down the other HouseGuests when an alarm sounded, and Madison had to wear a "Patriotard" for a week. Faysal was the winner of the competition but chose to take a $5,000 prize leaving Layla with the Power of Veto. Despite many people from the opposing side throwing deals and trying to convince Layla not to use it, she vetoed herself off the nomination block. Meanwhile, Ashleigh decided to volunteer, so she went up as a pawn. For the rest of the week, The Stakeouts, which consisted of Ashleigh, Faysal, Jordan, and Layla, is formed and reassured themselves to stick with the plan voting out Madison, viewing her as a bigger threat than London. Bradley still wanted to get out Madison and not London, but after taking many shots at her in public, and then trying to speak to her privately and give her hints of his plan, she didn't want to hear it from him, leading to a huge fight between them. Heidi had tried to rally votes against Ashleigh, but the fight had sealed London's fate. To their surprise on eviction night, Layla and Heidi flipped their votes according their own will and forced a 4–4 vote between Madison and London. Bradley had to break the tie and cast the final vote to evict London by a vote of 5-4-0.

Following London's eviction, the HouseGuests competed in the *Power Shot* competition. For this competition, HouseGuests take turn throwing arrows underhand at a target with points. The HouseGuest whose arrow lands on the highest point ring wins the Head of Household; however, if someone does not want to be the HoH, then they could aim at two red dots at the top of the board, one earning them $5,000 and the other one earning them safety for the week. These dots could only be hit once and neither prize was claimed. Jun won his first Head of Household competition with a score of 90. Jun had already begun formulating a plan to backdoor the competition prowess Madison. Meanwwhile, Madison and Heidi planned on throwing the Temptation Competition and get nominated so that they can increase their numbers in the Veto competition, and higher the chances of them competing. Unfortunately, Bob ended up winning the final Temptation Competition for the second time, rewarding himself with winning immunity and the Panic Temptation Power, and Greta got nominated. Heidi tried to use reverse psychology on Jun, but he nominated her alongside Madison. A few days before the veto, Jun didn't see how getting rid of Madison was good for their games and decided with two options: evicting Heidi or backdooring Jordan. He and his alliance soon shifted to new possible targets and viewed them as social threats for making good relationships with the HouseGuests as their advantages.

On Day 53, Jun, Greta, Heidi and Madison, along with Faysal and Layla, competed in the *OTEV the Paranoid Pigeon* POV competition. In a musical-chairs type set-up, the HouseGuests were given a clue about a past competition by OTEV. They then had to slide down, find the item with the correct competition name on it and climb back up. The last HouseGuest to make it to the top (or if a HouseGuest got the answer wrong) would be eliminated from the competition. The last HouseGuest standing would win the Power of Veto. Jun won the Golden Power of Veto. On Day 55, Jun used the Power of Veto to remove Madison from the block in order to gain her trust and chose to nominate Jordan in her place, with a possible backdoor plan set in motion. In the midst of the live eviction, Jordan was soon caught playing both sides of the house, leading into a huge blow up with Ashleigh, Bradley, Heidi and Jun in front of the whole house. As a result, The Stakeouts alliance fractured with Ashleigh and Layla sticking with the Backyard Crew and Faysal and Jordan siding with the outsiders. Knowing that he is evicting soon, Jordan started planting a seed in the outsiders' minds that would make them go after the Backyard Crew, whom Jordan accused them for using Bob and Greta for their votes. However, his efforts only gained him 2 sympathy votes from Bob and Faysal, and he got the 5 votes to evict from the others, with a 5-2-0 vote, making Jordan the 1st member of the Jury.

Following Jordan's eviction, HouseGuests participated in the HoH competition called *Hocus Focus*, wherein the HouseGuests watched a series of magic performances. After each performance, the HouseGuests will be asked questions based on the performance. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. After the tiebreaker round, Greta was crowned the new HoH of the week and The Parent Squad was finally taking control of the house. During that week, Greta, Bob, Faysal, Heidi and Madison allied to ensure the eviction of one member from the existing opposing alliance. Using Jordan's last words of advice, the outsiders' plan set in motion with Greta nominating Bradley and Vivian for eviction. When picking players for the Power of Veto competition, Ashleigh, Jun and Madison were selected to compete for the Power of Veto; Bob was selected to host. Throughout the week, Bob and Vivian formed a secret alliance called "Bonnie & Clyde" without the knowledge of their allies, all of which allowed them to be in control while staying under the radar. That night, HouseGuests competed in the *Hide and Go Veto* Power of Veto competition. For this competition, HouseGuests had three minutes to individually hide their locked veto card in the House. Then, one at a time, HouseGuests entered the House and had one minute to attempt to find a veto card. If a HouseGuest's veto card is found, they will be eliminated, though the owner of the veto cards will not be revealed until the end of the competition. The HouseGuest who hides their veto card the best will win the Power of Veto. Greta won the Power of Veto. On Day 62, Greta chose to use the Power of Veto to remove Vivian off the block under Bob's influence, with Layla becoming nominated in her place. On Day 65, the HouseGuests learned that it would be a Double Eviction and that this season would feature nine Jury members, rather than seven. Despite putting on a snarky act about Bob flipping the vote in his favor and blame Heidi before the eviction and during the live show, Bradley then became the seventh HouseGuest to be evicted when he shockingly received a 4-3 eviction votes, with Bob (along with Faysal and Heidi) casting the rogue votes against Layla to cause paranoia. He became the second member of the Jury of Nine.

The remaining HouseGuest will then select the next two HouseGuests to face off. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Faysal was the winner. Following this, Faysal chose to nominate Layla along with Vivian, believing that Layla would be his biggest target in the house due to her forming quick relationships and her strong social game to easily persuade. Before the Power of Veto competition, Vivian and Bob pressured Faysal to backdoor Jun if he ever becomes the PoV holder too, however, believing him to be untrustworthy. When picking players for the Power of Veto competition, Ashleigh, Greta and Heidi were selected to compete. The HouseGuests then competed in the *Kenya Solve It?* Power of Veto competition. For this competition, HouseGuests must solve a series of three puzzles, one at a time. Their puzzle pieces must be inside the black outline. The first HouseGuest to complete all three puzzles and buzz in will win the Power of Veto. Layla was the winner of the Power of Veto. Following this, a plan was set in motion to evict Jun from the house, resulting in Layla using the Power of Veto to remove herself, with Jun becoming nominated in her place. Minutes later, Jun became the eighth HouseGuest to be evicted from the house when he received six eviction votes. He became the third member of the jury. Behind the scenes, the first two jurors (Bradley and Jordan) battled to compete in the *Berry Balanced* Battle Back competition. In this competition, players must go through a root to get their berries from one side to the other. There are two paths a Slow yet easy one and a Fast yet hard path.

Following Jun's eviction, it became clear to Vivian became the lone survivor of the crumbling Backyard Crew alliance. The remaining eight HouseGuests competed in the *Time Me A River* Head of Household competition. For this competition, HouseGuests had to get to the other side of the yard in a replication of Charon's boat as close to nine seconds as possible. The HouseGuest with their time closest to nine seconds won the Head of Household. Layla won with a time of 8.9 seconds. Layla was also tasked with picking three HouseGuests as Have-Nots for the week and chose Faysal, Greta, and Madison. With Layla viewing Bob as her intended backdoor target for his outstanding social game, she recruited both Madison and Vivian as pawns in exchange for future protection. On Day 66, Layla followed through her plans by nominating Madison and Vivian for eviction. But moments later, Vivian decided to activate her Nightmare Temptation Power: she took herself off the block and nominated Faysal in her place. Moments after the Nightmare Power is used, it was revealed that Vivian saved herself with the power in order to secretly target Faysal without raising suspicion from other HouseGuests. She also revealed that she was able to cover her own tracks by stating to Layla that Heidi or Madison were actually her fake targets. However, the HouseGuests learned of the Tree of Temptation. In the front hallway is a tree with five apples on it. For the next three weeks, HouseGuests must wait for the tree to turn red. After it turns red, the first HouseGuest to enter the Diary Room may claim an apple. A HouseGuest may only accept one apple while the twist is in play. Each apple contains a prize or a punishment, but the HouseGuests will not know what is inside until they open it. On Day 59, the Tree of Temptation turned red. Mark accepted the temptation. His apple contained the "Bounty on Your Head" power. He earned the punishment to entice the HOH to send the recipient home for the $5,000 prize. With Faysal's Tree of Temptation punishment, it gave Vivian another benefit for Layla to primarily target Faysal for the prize.

Ashleigh, Greta, and Heidi were picked to play in the veto competition, while Bob was selected to host. That same day, HouseGuests competed in the *BB Juicy Blast* Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests will watch the monitor to see a sequence of smoothie ingredients. After the sequence, they will be asked a question based on the sequence they just saw. If a HouseGuest answers incorrectly, they will be eliminated and received a prize or a punishment. After someone was eliminated, they could keep their prize or exchange it for anyone else's prize. This went on until only one person remained. The HouseGuest who ended up with the Power of Veto was the winner. During the competition, Faysal had to complete the BB Fitness & Food Program for a week, Layla had to unleash an Angry Health Guru and be yelled with health tips for 24 hours, and Ashleigh had to wear a "Health Nut-itard" for 48 hours. In the end, Heidi claimed a Hawaiian vacation, Greta won the $5,000 prize, and Madison won the Golden Power of Veto. Bob seriously considered Ashleigh activating the Nightmare Power to save Vivian off the block, seeing that she is the latter's closest ally. He soon convinced Layla on putting Ashleigh up on the block for assuming her responsibility on the secret power. On Day 69, Madison used the Veto on herself and Layla named Ashleigh as the replacement nominee. Despite being teamed up with Bob, Vivian convinced most of the HouseGuests into now seeing Faysal as a bigger target than Ashleigh. At the eviction, she successfully flipped the votes into blindsiding Bob and evicting Faysal by a vote of 3–2. Faysal then became the fourth member of the Jury. Behind the scenes, the current reigning champion Bradley battled against his devoted Backyard Crew member Jun in the *Kiss My Ace* Battle Back competition. In this competition, players must hit the rackets with a ball by bouncing it on a trampoline that looks like a racket. both players have 3 balls to attempt to hit one of the 5 rackets.

In this competition, players must observe the 3 moderators behind them that show them pictures of Houseguests still in the game. The pictures contain details to solve there puzzle. The puzzle contains 8 booths all with questions that rely on the pictures shown on the moderators.

Jun had just beaten Faysal in the third Battle Back Competition, eliminating him from the game and officially send him to the jury house. After defeating his fellow evicted houseguests, Jun was given the opportunity to compete against a house challenger. If he won, he would re-enter the game. If he lost, he would officially be evicted from the house. The HouseGuests unanimously voted to choose Bob to battle Jun in the final Battle Back competition called the *Electric BB Festival*. In this competition, players solve a puzzle with there pieces and also get the timelines of the bands in the puzzle correctly.

The remaining eight HouseGuests competed in the *Aug-toberfest* HoH competition, where they had to slide across a slippery path and deposit "beer" in their beer stein. There is also a second beer stein where if you retrieve that ball, you win $5,000. The first HouseGuest to retrieve a ball from inside their stein won the Head of Household. Everyone except Bob, Jun, and Madison have fallen out of the competition within the first 15 minutes. Bob became the eleventh HoH of the season. Bob planned on getting revenge for Faysal's eviction by making a retaliation by evicting Jun (again), and meanwhile, they decided to rekindle their fellowship after Vivian admitted that she was apart of the backdoor plan against Jun. After an attempted persuasion on Bob to target the other HouseGuests aside Jun and Vivian, Bob was originally going to target both Layla and Madison, however, he went back on his word and chose to nominate Jun and Vivian for eviction. Bob maintained his loyalty to Vivian by reasoning of nominating her as a pawn against Jun, with a reason to cover-up their covert partnership. Although Bob stated that Jun was his primary target, he still considered about Ashleigh activating the Nightmare Power. Thus, Bob decided a backup backdoor plan by planting a seed in Ashleigh's head to deliver a false sense of security. On Day 66, the Tree of Temptation turned red and decided to pick the second apple. Her apple contained the "Save-A-Friend" power.

She earned the power to grant one HouseGuest other than herself immunity for the week. She gave Madison immunity for the week, in an attempt to work her back into her good graces. On Day 67, Greta, Layla, and Madison were picked to play in the veto competition. That same day, HouseGuests competed in the *BBB Sting Operation* Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were asked to guess how many of a certain item there were in a set and were rewarded with a security clearance ticket if they stayed rather than fold. The first HouseGuest to obtain three movie tickets was the winner. Jun won the Power of Veto. Ashleigh is concerned about Bob deciding a replacement nominee, so Ashleigh went over to Bob and suggested putting Greta or Madison up so they could get out a power player. On Day 76, Jun used the Power of Veto to remove himself from the block and Bob began taunting in front of everyone about knowing who activated the Nightmare Power, with Ashleigh becoming nominated in Jun's place. Overcome with guilt, Vivian confessed Ashleigh that she activate the power to take shots at Faysal (without Bob's knowledge). Vivian called a house meeting in order to clear Ashleigh's name without risking her own game, however, it lead to a huge fight between Ashleigh and Bob. Despite being the house's target, Vivian was able to avoid eviction by the events of the house meeting. She (along with Jun) decided to sacrifice Ashleigh, backdooring her in a unanimous 5-0 vote and became the 4th member of the Jury.

Following Ashleigh's eviction, the remaining eight HouseGuests competed in the *Ready, Set, Woah!* Head of Household competition. For this competition, HouseGuests had to hold down two buttons in their starting lane. At the end of their lanes, a monitor will cycle though the words "ready, set, go." If a HouseGuest releases a button before the word "go", they will be eliminated. Once they see the word "go," they must run to the end of their lane and hit one of the five buttons. The last person to hit a button will be eliminated. Once a HouseGuest uses a button, it is out of play for future rounds. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Jun was the winner, making him the second person to hold the title of Head of Household twice this season. Jun decided to be in agreement with the house and focus on getting Bob evicted. The Tree of Temptation lit up before the Nomination Ceremony once again, but nobody accepted the temptation, so the twist was officially over. Soon after, Jun nominated Bob and Greta for eviction. But Vivian had another target in mind, which is Bob. So Vivian told Greta that she must win the veto, and they were going to vote Bob out. But if things go south, then they were going to backdoor Madison. On Day 81, Bobby Moynihan surprised the HouseGuests to host the Veto competition. All the HouseGuests except Layla competed in the *Punch, Slap, Kick* Power of Veto competition, sponsored by the new CBS show *Me, Myself & I*. In this competition, HouseGuests were hit with a series of punches, slaps, and kicks. After the sequence, they were asked a question based on their experience. If they answer correctly, they will earn one point. The HouseGuest with the most points after six rounds will win the Power of Veto, as well as a visit to the set of Me, Myself & I. Jun and Madison tied the competition and then played a series of tiebreaker sequences to determine the winner. Madison was the winner of the Power of Veto.

Despite her backdoor plan being obselete, her original plan on evicting Bob was set in motion. But the night before the veto meeting, Layla compared Vivian to last season's player Ramon Sanchez, which made Vivian realize that evicting Bob is not her best option and if Layla stays and tells everyone about her and Jacob Okumura, then it was certain that Vivian is the next one out the Big Brother House. Vivian conducted a three-step secret backdoor plan on Layla: persuading Madison to use the veto on Greta, manipulating Jun to nominate Layla to view her as a huge threat, and convincing Bob into using his Panic Temptation Power in the upcoming eviction night. On Day 83, Madison used the Power of Veto to remove Greta from the block and forced Jun to nominate Layla as the replacement nominee. That night, Greta and Heidi left the house and attended the Dennis Quaid Charity Weekend Fashion Show. Shortly after their departure, Bob and Madison engaged in numerous verbal arguments, causing much controversy outside of the house. Following these events, Madison decided to eat food, thus violating his Have-Not restrictions. On Day 86, the HouseGuests learned that it would be another Double Eviction, and so when voting began, Madison and Greta shockingly flipped their votes in accordance to Vivian's influence, ending in a tied 2-2 votes. As Jun was about to cast the tiebreaker vote, Bob activated his Panic Temptation Power used his Blood Power of Veto at the last minute, automatically evicting Layla when she received the remaining two eviction votes and became the 5th member of the Jury.

The correct answers would earn a point. The HouseGuest with the most points after seven questions would win. In the tie-breaker question, Greta beat out Madison for her second HoH title. After the competition, Bob (unaware that Greta was the one who had double-crossed and voted to evict him) discuss the situation about the suspicions on the two eviction votes Bob received, but Greta decided to persuade Bob with a quick plan on backdooring Jun first. She nominated both Heidi and Vivian for eviction with Jun as her backdoor target. The remaining HouseGuests were eligible to play in the *Lime Drop* Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must race down their lane, jump into their ball pit, and search for limes. They must find a lime and attempt to drop it in their tube. If a ball hits the ground, it is out of play. The first HouseGuest to drop four limes into their tube and hit their button will win the Power of Veto. Jun was the winner of the Power of Veto. Bob invited the HouseGuests in a last-minute house meeting wherein he asked everyone who voted to keep him. Madison openly claimed her statement with her openly assuming about Greta's agreement on voting to evict Bob. This sparks another fight between Bob and Madison, with Heidi backing her up by saying that she "felt the energy" around Greta. Following this, Jun used the Power of Veto to remove Vivian from the block and chose to nominate Madison in her place. Madison was given a penalty vote for breaking her Have-Not restrictions, meaning she automatically had one vote cast against her that week. Madison was evicted by a vote of 3-1, with Bob casting a vote against Heidi to cause paranoia, becoming the sixth member of the Jury.

In this competition, three fake movie poster were shown to the HouseGuests. A group of friends talked about what movie they wanted to watch, giving the HouseGuests clues on which movie they wanted to watch. HouseGuests then had to deduce from the clues and movie posters which movie the group of friends were going to watch. The first HouseGuest who rang in with the correct answer won one point. The first HouseGuest to earn five points would win the Head of Household. Heidi won the Head of Household. The HouseGuests wake up to find the TV screen announcing the final America's Road Trip competition, wherein they all were insisted to compete. However, the remaining HouseGuests were directed to head inside the Head of Household room and to their shock and surprise, they watched on the TV screen with the jurors raided the house and took out all their aggression on the HouseGuests' belongings. Moments later, the jurors compete in the *Jury Fury* competition, where the jurors had to find knock out pucks and momentarily returning juror Bradley and Vivian each won $10,000. Heidi secretly harbored resentment against The Parent Squad and wanted revenge for her fallen comrade. But at a last-minute decision before the nomination ceremony, she decided that it would gain the jury's respect if she primarily targets a more powerful duo. Although Jun remained loyal to Vivian, he soon realized how secretly dominant Vivian's game was. He thought about exposing Vivian's gameplay to Heidi and taking her out, but decided against it.

To save himself, Jun offers to throw the next Head of Household competition to Bob, and in a confessional, confirmed that he was serious about it. Despite their rivalry and loyalty towards Vivian, Bob and Jun agreed to team up and primarily targeted her. On Day 88, the HouseGuests competed in the *BB Comics* Power of Veto competition. A spoof of DC Comics. In this competition, HouseGuests competed individually. HouseGuests had to ride a zip line past the comic studio window to get a look at a set of sixteen comics. They must replicate the comic studio on their computer. However, there are decoy comics with slight differences. The HouseGuest who replicates the studio wall in the fastest time will win the Power of Veto. Heidi won the veto and, wanting to ensure that Vivian would go home and not to rock the boat. She was initially decided to leave her own nominations as they were, but she was being offered a deal by Vivian, after she noticed both Bob and Jun caught onto her schemes. At the Veto Ceremony, Heidi used the Power of Veto to save Vivian and put up Greta in a last-second decision. Before the live eviction, Vivian conducted a house meeting as it immediately turned into a fight between Bob and Jun over a lie Jun told about blaming Bob orchestrating the plan getting Vivian evicted. When the houseguests were surprised with the eviction, Vivian voted to evict Jun, while Bob voted to evict Greta, causing Heidi to be the final vote to break the tie. Being viewed as a bigger threat and favorable by the jury, Heidi evicted Jun, making him the seventh member of the jury.

Following Jun's second eviction, the eligible HouseGuests sought a spot in the final three in the *What the Bleep?* Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were shown a series of clips with a censored word or words. Julie will then give them words as to what the blurred phrase may be. The HouseGuests must then state if Julie's suggestion is true or false. A correct answer earned a HouseGuest a point. The HouseGuest with the most points after seven questions will be the new Head of Household. Vivian was the winner. Staying loyal to her "Bonnie & Clyde" duo alliance with Bob, she nominated Greta as a pawn against her primary target Heidi. Heidi feared that she was going to get evicted, but Vivian kept shooting down her worries into giving a false sense of security. Sonny McCoy from Big Brother 1 surprised the HouseGuests, and they took the opportunity to reflect on the season and then hosted the HouseGuests in the *Win and You're In* Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests had to correctly match different HouseGuests with different statements, such as "evicted unanimously." Once a HouseGuest knocks down the correct HouseGuests, they move on to the next round. If a HouseGuest accidentally knocked down the wrong HouseGuest, they had to start the round over. The HouseGuest to finish all three rounds in the least amount of time won the Power of Veto. Vivian won with a time of 10:29. Vivian was initially not going to use the Power of Veto with the original intent to take out the social threat Heidi but changed her mind and decided to target Bob, for fear of him flipping back to The Parent Squad with Greta. Subsequently on Day 93, Vivian removed Heidi from the block, and being the only possible replacement nominee, Bob took her place. Heidi cast the sole vote to evict Bob from the game, making Bob the eighth member of the jury.

Later that day, the final three engaged in their final battle in the *Rumble In the Big Brother Jungle* Part 1 of the Final Head of Household competition. The HouseGuests had to remain on their vine rope while being dunked in mud and slammed into a wall. The last HouseGuest holding on to their swing will win Part One of the Final HOH and advance to Part Three. Heidi hung on the longest and won. On Day 96, Greta and Vivian then faced off in the *Knock 'Em Down* Part 2 of the Final Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were shown a series of scrolls. They must knock down the HouseGuests who do not apply to the clue. The HouseGuest who completes the three scrolls correctly faster will win Part 2 and face Heidi in Part 3. Greta was the winner. After the competition, Vivian pleaded Greta into taking her at the Final 2, conspiring about a possible bitter jury against Vivian, in which she stated that she voted out her own devoted allies and affiliates. On Day 99, Greta and Heidi had the final showdown in the *Scales of Just-Us* Part 3 of the Final Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were read a series of statements from the jury. They must guess how each juror completed their statement. A correct answer gave them a point. The HouseGuest with the most points after eight questions will be the final Head of Household. After 7 questions that ended in a 4-4 tie, Greta and Heidi answered a tiebreaker question to decide who would win part three, and therefore the final, HOH. Greta was closer to the correct number and became the final Head of Household of the summer. She then chose to evict Heidi, due to believing that she was more liked by the Jury, and having the majority of jury votes from her close friends, thus making her the 9th and final Juror, and bringing Vivian to the final two.
