Big Brother 17

**Big Brother 17** is the 17th season of the PMBB series.

After facing early adversity, Lionel Wright found his footing in the game allowing him to win competitions without being nominated until the final five. His comeback story swayed the jury and America in his favor as he won the game against Jessica Sparks in a 7-2 vote.

## Background

One more additional season was announced five days after the finale of Big Brother 16. This season would be the final season before going on a hiatus, or potential end of the series. The date of the premiere is unknown as of August 1, 2021. The series would officially take its hiatus after the finale of Big Brother 17. The series will return either late 2021 or early 2022.

## Twists

* **Battle of the Block:** Two HOHs were crowned; each HOH nominated two HouseGuests for eviction. The nominated HouseGuests battled for safety in the Battle of the Block competition where the winning pair was safe and the HOH who nominated them was dethroned.
* **Twin Twist:** A throwback to *Big Brother 5*'s Project DNA, *Big Brother 17* adopted part of the old twist: The Twin Twist. HouseGuest Milan Novelo has an identical twin, Mikel Novelo. After surviving the double eviction during the fourth week, five evictions were survived by the twins, ultimately allowing Mikel to enter game as an individual.
* **America's Jury Vote**: America will be given a jury vote on finale night. The recipient of the vote will be determined by an online vote.
