Big Brother Red Lion 3

## Cast

**Big Brother Red Lion 3**, also known as **Big Brother Red Lion 3: Game of Temptations**, is the third season of Big Brother Red Lion.

After an 89-day struggle, Kat Appleton claimed the crown as the third winner of BBRL over Kalaya Lutz with a 7-2 vote from the Jury, in what will likely be the greatest season the show will ever have.

## Background

### Development

The season was initially not meant to be the last. After the huge success of Season 2, Seasons 3 and 4 were meant to run simultaneously in the spring, but casting was near impossible for Tristan in the other lunch period, so they were eventually dropped entirely. Carson Capik returned to step up and host the original conclusion to BBRL.

### Casting

Seeing as this was originally intended to be the final season, two principles to casting were followed:

1. Four veteran players, two from each past season, would be cast to return to the game and play again.
2. The casting process would be vastly more specific and strict than before, i.e. people a lot closer to the host in terms of friendship would be favored on the cast, because this was originally planned to be the end of BBRL, and the season partly commemorates the 8th graders' advancement to high school during next school year.

Casting went very smoothly and all 14 new players were on board for the season without a single substitution. A pool of 8 potential veterans that were willing to return were brought up, and Carson selected 4 to advance into the game.

### Schedule

The schedule was similar to last season's, but this time the season itself is *very* long, totalling at 89 days.

**Monday: HOH Comp, Nominations | Tuesday: POV Player picking, POV Comp | Thursday: POV Meeting, Live Eviction**

## Visitors

As a nod to the past seasons, some previous houseguests would visit to host certain competitions or other events in the game.

**Brayden Dehoff** | *Big Brother Red Lion 2* | Jury - 5th Place

**Iris Smith** | *Big Brother Red Lion 1* | Jury - 3rd Place

**Landen McKinley** | *Big Brother Red Lion 2* | Jury - 9th Place

## Twists

* **Premiere Temptation**: At the premiere, four houseguests had to volunteer to play in a special competition with two losers and two winners. They were warned that the only way to win Head of Household was to join in. The losers were safe for the week, but of the two winners, one became the first HOH and the other was cursed to instantly become a third nominee.
* **Returning Players**: 4 past BBRL players, Thomas Harvey, Travis Brown, Bryce Reynolds and Noah Rutters entered the game at the start of Week 3 as players.
	+ **Vet Showdown**: When the vets entered, each vet teamed up with the other player of their season against the opposing pair in a showdown comp to win *full immunity* for 4 weeks.
* **Devil's Den**: The main twist of the season, for weeks 4-7, the HOH named a player to get tempted in the Devil's Den. This player would receive either a punishment or a reward unbeknownst to the HOH.
* **Secret Room**: In Week 9, the houseguests were informed of a unique opportunity to gain a special power. The Secret Room competition was won by multiple houseguests who solved the puzzle on host Carson Capik's Instagram page.
	+ **Blood Power of Veto**: This one-time special Power of Veto variant would be awarded to one of the houseguests who successfully entered the Secret Suite and won the competition to go with it. It allows the holder to use it on the *evicted* houseguest that week to bring them back into the game, subsequently evicting the nominee they were next to instead.
* **Double Eviction**: It wouldn't be a Big Brother season without the classic Double Eviction twist!
* **Triple Eviction**: The legendary Season 1 twist returns again to shake up the house like crazy.
