Big Brother 2

**Big Brother 2** is the second season of Mac's Sims 4 Big Brother.

## Background

**On the 27th of August 2023,** it was announced that a second season would be renewed. Casting went out and within 24 hours a cast of 20 had been finalised. Rumours of returning players were announced, new players, and a legend in CBS' Big Brother US. Rumors were speculating of who the 20th houseguest would be, with fans noticing certain people had cancelled gigs around the time of the sequestering period before filming began. Here are some of the rumoured people who were speculated:

* **Maryanne Oketch**: CBS' Survivor 42 winner Maryanne had a Survivor meet and greet which she had cancelled. However, she was posting on her Instagram story during the sequester period so the theory was debunked.
* **Paris Hilton**: Paris two months before filming began was tagged in an Instagram Post with Madison Kimrey with the caption "#Sliving at Disneyworld with @madisonkimrey". Fans speculated she was a fan of the show which she confirmed on X (formerly Twitter), saying she was "#TeamMac&Madison".
* **RuPaul Charles:** Fans noticed that RuPaul's official account had followed @Sims4BB on Instagram and X. However she was filming a TV show in Auckland, NZ during the time of filming.
* **Taylor Swift:** During her "Eras Tour", Taylor announced potentially cancelling 2-3 months of the tour due to personal reasons. Fans of the show knew she was liking tweets that Jazzie Hart and Seb Cordero were making on X and put two and two together. However this was debunked as she later announced that everything was okay and the tour would continue as usual.
* **Whitney Diamond:** Whitney Diamond, not a famous person, rather a superfan of the Big Brother franchise, announced on social media she "made it far into the casting for Season 2". Later she made a Facebook post announcing she was cut from making it on due to breaking her NDA.

## Twists

* **Returning Players:** This cast of 20 has ten returning players from Big Brother 1.

* **Split House:** For the first three weeks, houseguests will be split in two different houses, unknown who is in the other house. When only fourteen houseguests remain in total, the players will "merge", moving into the main Big Brother house for the rest of the season.

* **Magic 8 Cube:** In each of the split houses is a cube upstairs. The first to use it will become Co-HoH's with the Head of Household for either Week 1,2 or 3, and will choose a singular nominee with the Head of Household. This twist will only be until the Split House ends. In the premiere episode, Max in House A interacted with the cube and won the Co-HoH power. Chris would later interact with the cube and win Co-HoH power later in the week for House B.

* **BBUK Week:** In Week 6, every houseguest remaining had to nominate two other houseguests for eviction. The three houseguests with the most nomination votes were up for Eviction. The houseguests that were not nominated then had to vote to evict. Derick, Nik and Tyler were the nominees with Nik being evicted that week.

* **Comeback:** At the beginning of Week 7, every evicted houseguest fought in the Head of Household competition. The evicted Houseguest who did the best in the competition would return into the game. Benji ended up not only returning into the game, but won against everyone, winning the entire Head of Household competition.

* **Triple Eviction Safety Chain:** In Week 8 houseguests played out a normal week, only to find out immediately after someone was evicted. Everyone but Week 8's HoH, Jessie, was able to compete in the Safety Chain competition. The winner of the Safety Chain competition started a chain, saving someone from eviction where they would repeat the process. This occurred until only three houseguests remained. Afterwards, the houseguests who weren't nominated or won the Safety Chain competition voted to save a houseguest. Chris Jackson and Hailey Ezell were the victims of the triple eviction and were sent to the jury house.

 **Post-Veto Nominee3 Votes**

 **Evicted4 Votes**

Returning players Adam, Cam, Grace, Jenn and Jessie reunited. Five new players also entered in Benji, Jacob, LJ, Max and Morgan.
Cam and Grace instantly reconnected after their time in the GEM alliance in Big Brother 1. The houseguests played in their first Head of Household competition where Adam won. Adam chose Jessie to gain access to the HoH suite. Adam formed the C-MAJor alliance with Cam, Jessie and Max. Benji and Jacob got close quickly and unofficially made a final two alliance. Max interacts with a Magic 8-Cube which earns him the Co-HoH power, usable for the first three weeks. Adam nominates Benji and LJ for eviction due to talking to them the least. After Benji gets Houseguest's Choice and picks Jacob, it raised eyebrows, especially to C-MAJor. LJ ends up winning the Power of Veto.
Benji offers Adam a four person alliance of Adam, Benji, Jacob and Jessie. Adam and Jessie discuss this and wants to not nominate Jacob to have multiple four person alliances and they can play the middle. LJ uses the Power of Veto on himself, and Adam renominates Jenn. After the nomination ceremony, LJ forms an alliance with Cam and Jenn. The C-MAJor alliance discusses who should go home. Cam wants Benji gone, but the other three want Jenn gone. Cam decides to go behind the C-MAJor alliance and convinces Grace, LJ and Max to throw a pity vote, blindsiding Benji in a 4-3 vote.

Returning players Henry, Jazzie, Mikey, Nik and Seb reunited. Five new players also entered the game in Chris, Derick, Hailey, Tyler and CBS legend Janelle.
Jazzie and Seb were some of the most strategic players and Nik thinks that they will become early targets. Mikey ends up winning the first Head of Household. Mikey chooses Jazzie to gain access to the HoH suite, and also gets along well with Tyler which forms a final two. Mikey nominates Nik and Seb for eviction, which upsets both nominees. Nik offers that the returnees work together and that there needs to be a backdoor plan. Mikey likes the idea, but isn't fully on board. Jazzie wins the Power of Veto.
A trio alliance is formed called "The Dolls" consisting of Janelle, Mikey and Nik. Nik offers to Jazzie the idea of the five returnees sticking together, but Jazzie think it's a ploy. Jazzie decides to not use the Power of Veto, which makes Seb yell at her. Jazzie preferred Nik to leave, and told Chris of the returnee alliance idea. Chris asks Henry for confirmation, but as the only returnee not in the plan, Chris thinks Jazzie is lying. Nik's campaigning was more one on one, while Seb was in groups bonding, hoping being positive will want people to keep him. Jazzie ended up voting Seb after hearing his eviction speech saying he will target Jazzie and Mikey. Seb was evicted in a 4-3 vote.
