## Season Summary

### Week 1

 **HOH**

 **POV**

 **Nominee8 Votes**

 **Evicted9 Votes**

Twenty former winners enter the Big Brother house in the biggest season yet. The house learns that each week, someone will spin the wheel in the living room. Whatever the wheel lands on will feature a former twist from the past, celebrating 40 seasons of Sims 4 Big Brother. The wheel is spun, and lands on Big Brother 5. For the first week, everyone will compete in pairs. Oscar wins HOH, with his partner Desiree earning immunity. Before nominations, many players from old seasons reunite. Alex and Miranda from BB4 agree to have each other's backs. Heroes vs. Villains houseguests Alex, Devin, Jake, Misty, and Opal reform their alliance. Close allies Brandi and Mason from BB29 agree to work together again. Desiree and Todd from BB19 agree to work together after Desiree tells him how much he admired his gameplay. Six Pack allies Hugo and Madeleine from BB25 agree to work together again. Misty individually links up with BB13 alumni Luna and Nathan, but the three do not come together since Nathan tells Misty he does not trust Luna. Trifecta members Maggie and Oscar are ecstatic to play together again, and agree to rope in Hugo as their #3, despite now being Raphael's ex. Recent winners Freddie and Sally also bond for not only being the last two winners, but because they are both still single and younger than everyone else, since most of the other winners bond over having families and settling down. Eventually, Oscar settles on nominating Brandi and Opal for eviction, with a plan to backdoor Todd, finding his perfect game to be the most threatening. Mackenzie, Miranda, and Todd are drawn for the veto competition, and Oscar's worst fears come true when Todd wins the veto. He chooses to leave nominations the same. Leading up to eviction, Mason is determined to have Brandi stay. Meanwhile, Alex, Devin, Jake, and Misty are the most vocal about keeping Opal. Oscar tells Hugo and Maggie that he wants Opal to go now for being a big threat in her own right, since his backdoor plan failed. Hugo tells Oscar and Maggie he should easily be able to get Madeleine on board because of their BB25 bond. Desiree and Todd also agree that Opal is a huge threat, along with Freddie and Sally. Misty successfully uses her connections with Luna and Nathan to vote her way this week. Alex also uses his connection with Miranda to get on board as well. An unlikely duo in Mackenzie and Omar realize they are the swing votes, and agree to look out for each other. Ultimately, they evict Brandi, since they felt like keeping Opal would benefit their games. In a very close 9-8 vote, Brandi is evicted. Because of the partner twist, Nathan will be granted immunity next week.

### Week 2

 **HOH**

 **POV**

 **Pre-Veto Nominee**

 **Post-Veto Nominee3 Votes**

 **Evicted13 Votes**

Following Brandi's eviction, the wheel spins on BB22. This means that the surviving nominee this week will compete for an opportunity to earn immunity for next week. Later, Todd wins HOH. He tells Desiree that they should form a secret alliance with Devin and Mason, since he recognizes that Devin is the next biggest target after him, and Mason is all alone now that his #1 ally Brandi is gone, and would likely want revenge on Maggie and Oscar. Desiree, Devin, Mason, and Todd make their alliance official together. Later, Todd nominates Maggie and Oscar for eviction after being fully aware Oscar was trying to backdoor him week one. Desiree, Freddie, and Omar are drawn for the veto competition, with Desiree coming out on top. She tells Todd to reconsider his nominations, since Maggie or Oscar (depending on who survives) will likely win the nomination competition. At the veto ceremony, Desiree uses the veto on Maggie. Todd names Hugo as the replacement nominee. Hugo worries he is being backdoored, but Oscar believes this move just sealed his fate. Leading up to eviction, Freddie and Sally agree that Maggie and Oscar would be a great pair to work with. However, along with Maggie, their attempts at saving Oscar fails, who is evicted by a 13-3 vote. Hugo successfully wins the nominee competition to guarantee himself safety next week.

### Week 3

 **HOH**

 **Inferno Immunity**

 **POV**

 **Nominee0 Votes**

 **Inferno Nominee5 Votes**

 **Evicted9 Votes**

Following Oscar's eviction, the wheel lands on BB21. This means that the remaining houseguests will have the choice to participate in the Inferno Room. The winner is immune for the week; the loser becomes the third nominee. Later, Jake wins HOH. Desiree, Freddie, Madeleine, Maggie, Mason, Nathan, and Todd compete in the Inferno Room. Mason wins, and Maggie gets last and becomes the third nominee, which completely dejects her, since she fears being evicted after Oscar just was. Before the nomination ceremony, Jake tells his alliance about nominating Luna and Mackenzie as pawns to backdoor Todd. Misty tries to subtly push Luna off of the block, but Jake ultimately goes through with his plan. Misty and Todd are drawn for the veto competition, with Todd once again winning the veto and canceling his own backdoor. He leaves nominations the same. Leading up to eviction, Omar is determined to have Mackenzie stay. Desiree and Todd argue about who should leave this week. Desiree mentions that Maggie is not as much of a threat now that Oscar is gone, and looks mentally checked out. She also mentions Mackenzie's dominant game in her winning season, and how she should leave this week. However, Todd still wants Maggie out, since Mackenzie evicted Opal with them week one, and would be a good addition to their alliance with Devin and Mason. When this information gets back to them, Mason seems on board, but Devin does not. Meanwhile, Nathan tells Misty that Maggie is a bigger threat, which Misty disagrees with. When the Heroes vs. Villains alliance meet up, Opal also expresses how Maggie is more dangerous for her personal game. After the vote flips back and forth all week, the house ultimately evicts Mackenzie in a 9-5-0 vote.

 **Evicted8 Votes**

Following Oscar's eviction, the wheel lands on BB1. This means that there will be no twist this week. Opal then wins HOH. She nominates Hugo and Maggie for eviction, with her telling the Heroes vs. Villains alliance that she is going to try to backdoor Todd, but secretly targeting Maggie. Misty, Nathan, and Sally are drawn for the veto competition, with Sally coming out on top. A final three alliance of Freddie, Maggie, and Sally becomes official after Sally tells Maggie she's using the veto on her, since the house target is Todd. After Sally uses the veto on Maggie, Opal names Todd as the replacement nominee. Leading up to eviction, Todd is hopeful he can stay with the help of his allies Desiree, Devin, and Mason and their influence on the rest of the house. After the Heroes vs. Villains express to each other how important it is for Todd to leave, Devin pulls Alex aside and tells him there is a secret plan to blindside Hugo. Alex then fills in Miranda about the plan. Miranda pulls Luna and Nathan aside as well, since she is aware they are all affiliates to the Heroes vs. Villains alliance. Later, a new alliance of Freddie, Hugo, Madeleine, Maggie, and Sally comes together, but Freddie does not completely trust Hugo will stay loyal to him. When Devin also tells Freddie about the plan to blindside Hugo, Freddie pulls Sally aside and says he wants to vote out Hugo, but Sally disagrees since she trusts their new alliance. Omar is also under the assumption that Todd is receiving the majority of the votes to leave. However, on eviction night, Hugo is completely blindsided by an 8-6 vote.

 **Evicted10 Votes**

Following Hugo's eviction, the wheel lands on BB37. This means that a secret veto (from the Tree of Knowledge) has been secretly hidden in the house. After a mad scavenger hunt between the remaining sixteen contestants, Opal finds the secret veto that will be good for three weeks. The only person she tells about this is Devin, since she is concerned that some other people in her alliance evicted Hugo when her target was Todd, and completely trusts him. Later, Freddie wins HOH. He nominates Maggie and Omar for eviction, with a plan in place to backdoor not Todd, but Devin, for being the only two-time winner in the house, and is baffled why no one is taking a shot against him. Madeleine and Maggie, now number one allies after their previous closest allies got evicted, correctly assume that Freddie never wanted to work with them, but agree that Sally is a good number for them going forward. Desiree, Luna, and Misty are drawn for the veto competition, with Misty coming out on top. She tells her alliance that Freddie is likely going to backdoor Todd like everyone has been trying to do since week one, and that pulling down Maggie might gain favors with her and hope that she wouldn't target the Heroes vs. Villains alliance in the future. However, after Misty uses the veto on Maggie, she is blindsided when Devin is named the replacement nominee. However, he feels confident he has the votes to stay, and tells Opal it was a smart move to save the secret veto for herself. Misty immediately apologizes to her alliance, and says she had no idea Freddie was going to do that. Leading up to eviction, Miranda forms an alliance with Freddie, Omar and Sally, and calling themselves the "One Season Wonders". Miranda also tells Luna and Nathan about evicting Devin, since she is worried about how much support he will receive on eviction night. However, Luna rats out Miranda's plan to Misty since she doesn't want to evict Devin, which immediately makes Misty distrust Miranda. Sally also informs Madeleine and Maggie that Freddie's target this week is Devin. However, since they do not trust Freddie, they evict Omar, who leaves the house in a 10-3 vote.

Before this competition, Jake wins HOH. Opal also wins the Enchanted Forest competition, with Nathan coming in last. The punishment he receives is that he cannot compete in next week's HOH. For the second time in a row, Jake wants to backdoor Todd. He nominates Desiree and Miranda as pawns. Freddie, Opal, and Sally are drawn for the veto competition, with Jake coming out on top. He uses the veto on Miranda, and names Todd as the replacement nominee. Leading up to eviction, Devin and Mason have opposing views on who should leave. Devin says they need to keep Todd for as long as possible, but Mason says that Todd is becoming too much of a liability. Freddie also tells Sally that he getting closer to Todd on a personal level, and could be a good ally for them. Luna, Miranda, and Nathan also agree that Desiree is a more dangerous player than Todd, and hope they can get the vote flipped again. Alex feels the pressure from both Devin and Miranda to save Todd again, but he ultimately puts his foot down, and evicts Todd alongside Madeleine, Maggie, Mason, Misty, Opal, and Sally. Todd is finally evicted by a 7-5 vote.

Following Todd's eviction, the wheel lands on BB12. This means that someone will win the opportunity to redo an HOH competition for the next three rounds. Before this, Mason wins HOH. Jake later wins the Redo HOH competition, and tells his Heroes vs. Villains alliance. When Alex leaves the room, he becomes worried that Miranda tried to flip the vote to evict Desiree last week. Jake and Miranda privately discuss this, which leads to some passive aggressive statements between the two. The conversation ends with Miranda slamming the door of the room they were in. Devin later tells both Desiree and Mason that Miranda was the one who got into his ear about evicting Desiree during Todd's eviction, while also backing up Jake. At the nomination ceremony, Mason nominates Luna and Miranda for eviction, with Miranda as his target. Mason also mentions he wants to avenge Brandi's eviction. Later in the week, Nathan proposes an "all-white" alliance with Devin, Mason, and Sally, which weirds all of them out. Alex, Jake, and Madeleine are drawn for the veto competition, with Jake coming out on top. Despite just targeting her a few days ago, a heart-to-heart conversation while cooking changes Jake's mind on who to target. Jake tells this to Mason and the Heroes vs. Villains alliance, which later gets to Desiree, baffling all of them. Devin proposes the idea of backdooring Freddie to Mason, since he tried to backdoor him two weeks ago. Mason, wanting to protect Devin and hoping this will benefit his game later, names Freddie as the replacement nominee after Jake uses the veto on Miranda. Leading up to eviction, Sally is hopeful to gather the votes for Freddie to stay. However, the only other person to be on board with the plan is Nathan, since the new target for the Heroes vs. Villains alliance is Freddie, Madeleine and Maggie continue not to trust him, Desiree respects her ally Mason's HOH, and Miranda ultimately votes with the majority (unaware of the fact that Luna ratted her out to Misty). Freddie is evicted by a 9-2 vote.

Maggie boldly forms an alliance with Luna, Madeleine, Mason, Miranda, Nathan, and Sally, and how they need to have each other's backs, otherwise the Heroes vs. Villains alliance members are going to reach the end again. At the nomination ceremony, Maggie declares war and nominates Opal and Jake for eviction, officially drawing the line in the sand. This immediately makes Maggie Jake and Opal's immediate next target. Alex, Misty, and Nathan are drawn for the Diamond Power of Veto competition, with Opal coming out on top. Opal discusses with her alliance on who to nominate. Eventually, Alex throws Madeleine under the bus, since she is super close to Maggie. At the nomination ceremony, Opal uses the DPOV on herself, with Madeleine being named the replacement nominee. On eviction night, Miranda finds herself as the swing vote as Luna, Mason, Nathan, and Sally are locked in votes to evict Jake; whereas Alex, Devin, Misty, and Opal are locked in votes to evict Madeleine after Misty could not successfully get Luna and Nathan on her side.

Later, Devin wins HOH. Sally wins the Secret Spy competition. She learns she must target Miranda if she wants to be immune for the next round. She accepts, after her, Luna, Mason, and Nathan quickly figured out that Miranda flipped on them. Even though she is in the One Season Wonders alliance with her, Sally is in complete self-preservation mode. Sally tells Devin she is the Secret Spy, and hopes that he can protect her in the future. Devin agrees with the plan, as he does not complain about someone on the other side protecting him. Devin nominates Maggie and Sally for eviction, but Devin tells Sally she is simply a pawn, and is planning to backdoor Miranda. Devin makes his intentions clear to Jake, Misty, and Opal, since Alex would try to talk him out of it. They all agree that Miranda needs to go, since her connection with Alex is becoming more dangerous. Misty is especially ecstatic, as she has not trusted Miranda for a while. Mason, Nathan, and Opal are drawn for the veto competition, with Sally coming out on top. Sally uses the veto on herself, with Miranda being named the replacement nominee.

Following Maggie's eviction, Misty wins HOH. She nominates duo Devin and Mason for eviction, hoping Mason can finally be evicted. Devin wins the Power of Veto, and uses it on himself. Opal is named the replacement nominee. Leading up to eviction, Mason works overtime to save himself. He further drives the wedge between pairs Alex & Jake and Devin & Opal by saying to Devin that Opal told him that she did not save him at the Safety Chain so that she wouldn't have any blood on her hands in case Devin got evicted. Mason also tells Alex and Jake that Devin and Opal were planning to nominate them in case either of them won HOH. This leads to an argument between all four players, as Mason and Misty watch from the sidelines. After everyone airs out their dirty laundry, Mason successfully survives eviction by a 3-0 vote, despite Misty's best efforts to get her alliance to focus on evicting Mason.

### Week 13

 **Nominee1 Vote**

 **Evicted2 Votes**

Following Opal's eviction, outsider Mason wins HOH. He nominates Alex and Jake for eviction, not having a preference on who leaves. Misty wins the Power of Veto, but faces the dilemma of whether or not to split up the Alex/Jake duo, or the Devin/Mason duo. Ultimately, she chooses to leave the nominations the same, hoping that Devin and Mason will save her against whoever survives between Alex and Jake. Alex and Jake feel betrayed by Misty, and were hoping she would use the veto, since they agreed to work together as a final three after being blindsided by Luna and Nathan's evictions. Leading up to eviction, Misty tells Alex she wants to take him to the final two. Since he doesn't have many other options, Alex and Misty shake on a deal. Meanwhile, Devin pushes to Mason that Alex is a bigger threat for them going forward. On eviction night, there is a tie. Mason breaks the tie to evict Jake, since he believes him as a bigger personal threat.

Following Jake's eviction, Alex wins HOH. The final four also learns that this week will be shortened. Alex nominates Devin and Mason for eviction, with Devin as his target. Devin wins the veto and uses it on himself, therefore Misty is the only possible replacement nominee. Misty tries to remind Devin that she had the opportunity to cause his eviction last night, and that bringing Mason to the end is a death sentence since he has become a major underdog ever since Maggie's eviction. On eviction night, Devin compares Mason to Xander in his eviction speech, and laughs how their alliance couldn't make final five for the second time in a row because of one person due to a powerful two-person alliance. After telling both nominees Mason was his Xander, Devin evicts Misty, saying she would've done the same thing if the roles were reversed.

Following Misty's eviction, the final three compete to become the final HOH. Alex wins part one; Mason wins part two. Alex ultimately wins the final HOH. After feeling betrayed by Devin ever since the final six, he decides to evict him, also not wanting to risk him becoming the first ever three-time winner. Alex rubs salt in the wound by saying "Now you know how your twin brother felt".

### Finale

 **Winner8 Votes**

 **Runner-Up3 Votes**

On finale night, Mason says he deserves to win because he recovered very well after Brandi left right away; used the egos of Desiree, Devin, and Todd to his advantage; avoided being a target when he was an outsider because of his stellar social game; and successfully dismantled a majority alliance. Alex says he deserves to win because he is now the first person to ever make final two 3 times, was in the dominant Heroes vs. Villains alliance, and used his social bond with Miranda to his advantage to cause Brandi, Hugo, and Madeleine's evictions, but also made his own moves to evict Todd. Ultimately, the jury crowns Mason the win by an 8-3 vote, largely because of how impressive it was that he managed to survive from the final six onwards. Maggie wins America's Favorite Houseguest.
