BB Control Center

The **BB Control Center** is the main twist of CSW Big Brother. It gave the HouseGuests the power to influence how all the other twists of the season would play out.

## Details

At predetermined points throughout the season, all of the HouseGuests will enter the BB Control Center and will be faced with a decision of some kind. In each instance, there are two options to choose from. Various twists throughout the season will be impacted by which decisions got the most votes.

Each BB Control Center occurs at the start of the week, the day after the previous week's eviction. Each HouseGuest enters the BB Control Center separately, so their decision is made anonymously. The count of how many people made each decision is not revealed to the HouseGuests.

The first instance of the BB Control Center lets the house decide whether or not a twist will take place (this twist is the Special Cadet twist). The second instance of the BB Control Center lets the house decide when a twist will take place (this twist is the double eviction). The third and final instance of the BB Control Center lets the house decide which of two twists will take place (this twist is Secret Envelope twist; the power won by the person who finds it depends on which twist is chosen).

## List of Controls

 **Twist Activator**

**Description**: During Week 2, the HouseGuests vote on WHETHER a twist will occur. The HouseGuests must decide simply whether or not to press the button. If at least 6 of the 12 remaining HouseGuests press the button, a new twist will be unleashed onto the game. If the majority chooses not to press the button, the option will be presented again the following week.

**Outcome**: 6 of the 12 HouseGuests (Anaya, Emma, Evan, Lucia, Peyton, and Shivani) pushed the Twist Activator button-- this unleashed the Special Cadet twist onto the game immediately. The twist did impact the game in some ways, although the Special Cadet's nominee was never evicted for the three weeks the twist was active.

 **Speed Shift**
**Description**: During Week 5, the HouseGuests vote on WHEN a twist will occur. The HouseGuests must move the lever to Normal Speed or Warp Speed. If at least 5 of the 9 remaining HouseGuests set the lever to Warp Speed, the next twist will happen soon. If the majority chooses Normal Speed, the next twist will happen later in the season.

**Outcome**: 6 of the 9 HouseGuests (Anaya, Evan, Jaydon, Mariam, Mary, and Sara) set the lever to Normal Speed-- this meant the Double Eviction would take place at Week 7, as opposed to Week 5.

  **Twist Toggle**

**Description**: When there are seven HouseGuests left, the HouseGuests vote on WHICH twist will occur. In the Control Center are two buttons: the first depicts a stick figure with a crown on its head, and the second depicts a ballot box that is crossed out. The HouseGuests must try to decipher the symbols on both buttons, and press the button they think is the twist they would rather see happen. After the 7 remaining HouseGuests make their choice, whichever button was pressed more will activate its corresponding twist.

**Outcome**: 5 of the 7 HouseGuests (Anaya, Emma, Evan, Lucia, and Shivani) pushed the button for Option B-- this meant the finder of the Secret Envelope would win the power to block one HouseGuest from voting at the upcoming eviction. (If Option A was chosen, the secret envelope would have granted the power of Co-Head of Household.)

## Trivia

* Anaya Harrison and Evan Graham were the only HouseGuests to be in the majority on all three Control Center decisions.
