## Twists

* **House President:** Before the first HoH competition, the houseguests had to vote on a House President with no time to deliberate or discuss. This House President earned immunity for the first three weeks, as well as giving one different houseguest immunity each of those weeks, and was also responsible for naming a third nominee each week, but no replacement nominee is named if they are saved with the Power of Veto. However, they cannot play in any Head of Household or Power of Veto competitions. Milo Owen was voted as House President.
* **Simocracy:** In the fourth week, the HoH, retitled the People's HoH for this week was decided by a fan vote, most votes earns the role of HoH that week, but could still play in the next HoH competition too. This was won by Eagle Thompson. An additional third nominee, the People's Nominee was selected by the fan vote, however no replacement nominee is named if they are saved with the Power of Veto.. The People's Nominee was Jade Soo-Kwon.
* **Battle Back Competition:** The first six evicted HouseGuests competed against each other for the opportunity to re-enter the house with a guaranteed spot in the Jury. Eagle Thompson ultimately won and re-entered the house as the Battle Back Champion.
* **Democracy of the Fallen:** For the first week of the Jury stage, the eliminated prejurors must unanimously decide on one houseguest to gift immunity in the shape of a golden ballot to. This individual is ineligible to play for Head of Household, but can play for the Power of Veto if their name is drawn. Ali Xavier was voted to have immunity.
	+ **Pass the Ballot:** The houseguest with immunity must pass on their ballot to whoever they want to keep safe from becoming a third nominee; the ballot continues being passed to anyone who has not yet received it until one individual is left without being passed the ballot. This individual is immediately up for eviction and cannot play in the Head of Household competition. No replacement nominee is named if they are saved with the Power of Veto. Beau Alden was left without the ballot and became an automatic nominee.

 **Post-Veto NomineeEvicted5 Votes**

In the first part of the game, the house was forced to vote for a House President with no time to deliberate or discuss, solely based on first impressions. Chantal and Milo tied for the most votes, for their confident personalities. Milo won the revote, and extending an olive branch to his adversary, gave his presidential immunity to Chantal as a consolation prize and offer for an alliance. First HoH Daniel, struggled to form close bonds or alliances. He became close with Ali Xavier early on in the game. His reign, however, would go on to be one of the disastrous HoH reigns of all time. Due to his lack of connections, Daniel had no idea who to nominate - he started by targeting Beau, identifying him as a potential physical threat - but when Elyse Ivor won the Power of Veto to save herself, he shifted his focus to Atlas Eubank, who seemed like more of a strategic threat. This left the house in total confusion, with most houseguests wanting to appease the HoH to avoid being an early target. He flipped between the two several times, before finally deciding on Atlas. Despite his indecisiveness, he managed to evict Atlas from the house in a disorganised 5-3-2 vote, sending him to the Battle Back competition.

The fallout of the first eviction saw a horde of panicked alliances being formed, followed by the unexpected HoH win of Jade Soo-Kwon, a afterthought member of the Sulani Mafia alliance. Unsure of who to target thanks to the unclear house divide, she went after Cava Silvano, perceiving her as a social threat for her upbeat personality. Eventually the whole house (other than Shareeta) got on board to send her home earlier than later, even though Jade made it a point to convince Cava she was safe, and the more eccentric Eagle would be sent home instead. Sulani Mafia co-leader Ali would go on to win the Power of Veto, discarding it and confirming Cava's almost unanimous eviction, sending her to the Battle Back competition by a vote of 8-1.

 **Won Battle Back**

 **Lost Battle Back**

New HoH Chantal pinpointed Ali as a threat and her target for her first HoH reign. This angered Milo, who vowed to show no more loyalty towards his former ally. Out of spite, he nominated Chantal's close ally Shareeta - but this would backfire when Shareeta won the Power of Veto. Following Shareeta's self-save, the cards looked stacked to send Ali home; however, a last minute vote flip from Barbara, influenced by Milo, would send home pawn Daniel instead. This would trigger the unraveling of the previously advantaged Fifth Ballot alliance, as Shareeta would accuse Eagle of flipping the vote, despite him not being responsible.

Following Daniel's eviction, Cava Silvano and Atlas Eubank faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would advance to the next round, facing Daniel. Atlas won, officially eliminating Cava from the competition.

In a sudden twist, it was announced that the HoH would be awarded by fan vote, and a third nominee would be nominated via fan vote - in a very close race, Eagle won the HoH, and Jade was the third nominee. Against his alliance's wishes, Eagle nominated Shareeta as his main target, causing extreme tension between the men and women of the Fifth Ballot alliance. Following Elyse's second veto win, the remainder of Fifth Ballot campaigned to vote out Jade over Shareeta, as she was the biggest competition threat of the two non-Fifth Ballot members. This campaign succeeded, and Jade was successfully blindsided 4-3-0.

Following Jade's eviction, Daniel Yeung and Atlas Eubank faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would advance to the next round, facing Jade. Daniel won, officially eliminating Atlas from the competition.

 **Won Battle Back**

 **Lost Battle Back**

Immediately after narrowly surviving eviction, Shareeta won the HoH competition. Again, against her alliance's wishes, she nominated her former ally Eagle with the intention of sending him home. She would go on to win the Power of Veto too, opting to not discard. Ali and Milo formed a last minute alliance (4Tune) with Barbara and César, the two most easily influenced players in the game at the time. This would come in handy saving Milo from eviction, even though Barbara remained loyal to her original alliance this time, the duo managed to flip César's vote, sending Eagle to the Battle Back competition.

Following Eagle's eviction, Jade Soo-Kwon and Daniel Yeung faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would advance to the next round, facing Eagle. Jade won, officially eliminating Daniel from the competition.

 **Won Battle Back**

Chantal would win her second HOH competition in the 6th week of gameplay, once again targeting Ali. A clutch third veto win from Elyse would stop this plan in its tracks, however interference from Milo would convince Barbara to rat out the 4Tune alliance to Chantal, driving her to nominate César in Ali's place. Sacrificed to save Milo's closer ally Marcel, César was evicted as the final pre-jury eviction and Battle Back contestant, by a vote of 4-2.

Following César's eviction, Eagle Thompson and Jade Soo-Kwon faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would advance to the next round, facing César. Eagle won, officially eliminating Jade from the competition.

Before the first jury HoH, César Juarez and Eagle Thompson faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would return to the Big Brother House. Eagle won, returning to the house and officially eliminating César from the competition.

In the first jury twist, all prejurors voted for the top 3 houseguests (in order) that they wanted to have immunity for the first week of the jury stage. Ali won the vote. Additionally, in a 'Pass the Parcel' type of competition, Ali would be the first person to kick off the second jury twist - the last houseguest left without a ballot would be the third nominee of the first jury eviction. Ali passed the ballot to Milo first. The ballot passing continued in this order: Marcel, Elyse, Barbara, Shareeta, Chantal, and Eagle. Feeling sorry for Eagle who had just returned to the house, Chantal chose Beau to be the third nominee option. Shareeta would win her second HoH, mending fences with Eagle and wanting to take out competition threat Elyse. Fifth Ballot reunited, and restored their initial position as the dominant alliance of the house, voting out Elyse 4-2 following Beau's veto win.

### Week 8

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto NomineePOV**

 **Evicted3 Votes**

Wanting to avenge her most useful ally, Ali set their sights on Shareeta and Chantal, two huge competition threats who had been targeting them and their allies from the beginning. Although Shareeta won the Power of Veto to save herself, this did not deter their plan. Using Beau and Eagle's bromance against the Fifth Ballot alliance, since Eagle refused to vote out Beau under any circumstances, this swayed the votes on Chantal instead of replacement nominee and pawn Beau. Chantal was voted out 3-2, being the 2nd houseguest sent to the jury.

### Week 9

 **Evicted3 Votes**

After 8 consecutive weeks of safety without immunity or competition wins, Barbara finally won her first competition in the Week 9 HoH. However, due to her conflicting alliances, she was forced to show her cards as someone who continually sat on the fence week after week. This infuriated her original alliance, who eventually realised she had caused the Fifth Ballot conflict in the first place and not owned up to any of it. This pressured her into going against her new allies Ali and Milo, nominating Milo as the replacement following Eagle's veto win. Despite Barbara evicting one of their closest allies, Ali and Milo continued to sweet-talk her.

### Week 10

#### Round 1

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto NomineePOV**

 **Post-Veto NomineeEvicted2 Votes**

Milo would win his first HoH after 9 weeks of no competition wins, targeting Shareeta the first chance he got. Still trying to convert Barbara to his side, he attempted to convince her to vote off the more headstrong Eagle over Beau, following Shareeta's self-veto save. This did not work, as Shareeta was able to convince a reluctant Barbara into saving Eagle. Beau was sent to the jury by a vote of 2-1.

#### Round 2

 **HOHPOV**

 **Nominee1 Vote**

 **Evicted2 Votes**

A sudden double eviction would change everything, when middle man Barbara won HoH once again. Feeling pressured by both sides once again, she nominated Milo and Eagle to keep her options open. However, when she won the Power of Veto again, she later realised she left all the power in her own hands, since Ali nor Shareeta would agree to vote off their respective allies. After almost 2 weeks of confrontation between herself and her Fifth Ballot allies, Barbara finally snapped, voting to evict Eagle over Milo, shocking both Eagle and Shareeta.

### Week 11

 **HOHPOV**

 **Nominee0 Votes**

 **Evicted1 Vote**

Milo would go on to win the penultimate HoH competition, as well as the final veto competition. With Barbara on the block as the pawn, this cemented Shareeta's fate as the final houseguest evicted before the finale, and she was sent to the jury by Ali's sole to evict.

### Week 12

 **HOH Pt. 1 WinnerEvicted1 Vote**

Shareeta's eviction made the outcome for the final 2 unclear, since Ali and Milo had been an inseparable duo since the beginning of the game; however, taking Barbara to the final 2 would be a guaranteed win for either individual. Barbara lost the first two competitions by a landslide, leaving Ali and Milo to showdown in an extremely close competition. Ali would come out on top, winning the final HoH, and reluctantly sending home Milo, feeling he had played the strongest strategic game.

### Finale

 **Winner  7 Votes**

 **Runner-Up  0 Votes**

The jury had the opportunity to confront the final 2 and ask them questions about their gameplay to help decide the winner of the game. Ali was accused of riding Milo's strategic coattails, whereas Barbara was roasted by the jury for her abysmal jury management and loyalty. The jury unanimously voted Ali the winner by a vote of 7-0, thanks to their incredible social game, and Barbara's subpar jury management. Shareeta was voted the winner of the §25,000 Fan Favourite prize.
