Big Brother 2 (US)

**Big Brother 2 (US)** is the 2nd season of the broadcasted edition of *Big Brother (U.S.)*.

## Background

### Development

Planning for season 2 began during season 1. Many themes were floating around but it was decided that this season would have a luxury hotel theme with a twist themed around the theme. Season 2 was then renewed sometime near the finale of season 1. This season also guaranteed a higher quality season with full shots of the houseguests and a better decorated house. The house was moved into a bigger lot and was decorated to fit the theme.

### Casting

Casting this season began after the duration of Big Brother 1. Unlike season 1, for season 2, the casting directors were looking for 16 houseguests instead of season 1's 12 houseguests. The casting directors were looking for a diverse cast with people from different backgrounds. The names of the cast were revealed on March 7, 2022 and the cast pictures were then revealed on March 8, 2022.

## Twists

* **Check-In Competition:** Immediately after the houseguests entered the house they played in a competition to win their ways into the house. The competition was split into 2 parts. The 8 houseguests that won the first part would become official houseguests. Then the first houseguest to lose the second part would be immediately evicted and the other 7 would become official houseguests.
	+ **Day One Eviction:** The Check-In Competition took place during the first day meaning for the first time in Big Brother history one houseguest would be evicted on the first day.
* **Fake Double Eviction:** In Week 6, the week concluded with a Fake Double Eviction, with the two evicted houseguests of the week facing off in a head to head Re-Entry Competition, where one would immediately return to the game, while the other was permanently evicted.
	+ **Secret Room:** The first fake evicted houseguest would live in room with terrible conditions for a few days until the second fake evictee was "evicted".
* **Season Shortened:** Due to Lisa's expulsion and the production team not wanting to cancel the double eviction, the season was shortened by a week. Then on Day 50, the season would go on to be shortened yet again by another 2 weeks due to the season becoming unenjoyable to host and feeling like it was being dragged on.
* **Final 5 Format Nullified:** Due to the season being shortened, the producers decided to have another double eviction, however the winner will be safe and decide on who to evict out of the 3 nominees and the losers would go on to be automatically nominated, meaning there would be 4 nominees. Then the 4 nominees will compete in the power of veto competition, whoever wins will automatically will be safe and will decide on who out of the 2 remaining nominees they want to evict.
