Kee's Big Brother 1

**Kee's Big Brother 1** is the first season in the next generation Big Brother series. It features 16 brand new houseguests competing against one another for $750,000USD while trapped inside a large studio house for 99 days. Each week, one houseguest will nominate two others for eviction, where the House will vote to evict one of its own. This continues until only one houseguest remains to claim the $750k prize.

## Gameplay

* **Head of Household:** Each week, one houseguest will win the title of Head of Household (HOH for short). Their duty is to nominate two houseguests for eviction. This power cannot be won two rounds in a row.
* **Eviction:** At the end of each week, the houseguests that are not nominated for eviction (minus the HOH) will vote to evict one of the nominees. The nominee that receives the most votes will be evicted from the Big Brother House. If there is a tie, the Head of Household will break it.
* **Five-Person Power of Veto:** After the Head of Household makes their nominations, five houseguests (the two nominees and three houseguests chosen by random draw) will compete for the Golden Power of Veto. The houseguest that wins the Power of Veto has the option of saving one of the nominees from the block - including themselves.
* **Jury of Nine:** The last nine houseguests to be evicted from the game will make up the Big Brother jury, which will vote for one member of the final two to win the game.
* **Haves & Have-Nots:** Each week, a few houseguests will be named "Have-Nots" and will only be able to eat slop, can only take cold showers, and must sleep in the uncomfortable Have-Not bedroom.

## Weekly Summary

### Week #1

#### Episode 1 (90 Minute Premiere - HOH & Nominations)

Kee Harriott, the host of this renewed series of Big Brother on SRSN, welcomes America from the front stage of the Big Brother house to rowdy applause from the studio audience. Behind them, the first eight houseguests wait excitedly to enter the house. Kee welcomes the houseguests, telling them that in just a few moments they will begin competing for power in this game. Before that, however, each houseguest's miniature introduction package is shown.

**Andre** walks around his art dealership, showing some wealthy clients paintings over a glass of champagne before spotting his key hanging on one of the paintings. Barely even smiling, Andre murmurs that he is ready to dominate the game. Not afraid to do whatever it takes to win the game, Andre says that kissing ass and talking to dumb people will be the hardest part of this game for him, but that he is the kind of person who never loses when he wants to win. He says he is the kind of person that can easily swindle 750k away from a house full of airheads.

**Aster** discovers their key while walking into their fashion classroom with a couple of friends; the key is around the neck of the mannequin at their station. Celebrating excitedly, Aster says that they will have graduated college right before entering the BB house. They admit they can be shy sometimes, but that they've loved watching the show with their family ever since they were a small kid. They believe that they will be underestimated for being small and quiet, but that they will use this to their advantage to strike when least expected.

**Connie** is talking over a project with some colleagues before opening a folder and watching her key fall out. Grinning excitedly as her colleagues congratulate her, Connie quickly rushes out to call her teen daughter Rebecca, who is as big of a superfan of the show as her. Connie says that while she is an overweight mother of four, she is a passionate student of the game. Working as an engineer, she is used to being underestimated in her profession, but she knows her brains will carry her far in the game as long as she gets out of her shell.

**Elwood** climbs down the trunk of a tree after cutting off a dead branch before discovering his key hanging on the lowest branch. Grabbing it, he laughs and hugs his co-worker. Elwood says that he is described by those around him as a gentle-giant, coming in at 6 foot 6 and full of muscle. However, Elwood says he is prouder of his kindness than his physique. While Elwood was recruited for the show and knows little about its strategy, he is excited for the adventure of a lifetime and hopes to have a fun, memorable summer in the BB house.

**Jorge** is cleaning out his high school classroom on the last day of school with his wife Mariana, a fellow teacher, when he discovers his key hiding under a pile of old worksheets. Jorge hugs and kisses Mariana in excitement. At 58 years old, Jorge knows he is most likely going to be the oldest player in the Big Brother house, but he does not plan on letting that stop him. An avid badminton player and trivia whizz, Jorge believes he can hang with the young kids in the house and prove that age is only a number in his family's favorite TV show.

**Leoni** has just finished a raucous comedy set when she discovers her key hanging on the mirror backstage. She screams in excitement, jumping up and down before beginning to shake what her mom gave her and sing, "Girl, you got this, girl, you got this!" An up-and-coming stand up star, Leoni has always been the life of the party with her humor and can-do attitude. She believes that she'll be able to use her joke-cracking abilities to propel herself far into the game even if she admits she's never been one to hit the books or the gym.

**Maritza** is cooking dinner with her family when she discovers her key in the spice drawer. Her family crowds around her to celebrate as she smiles happily. The middle child in a large Indonesian family, Maritza grew up reserved but helpful. Since graduating high school, she has dropped out of college and floated between different jobs, currently working as a plasma nurse. Maritza is excited for a hot and wild summer in the Big Brother house, hoping the experience might help her find her own way in life.

**Stefanie** is serving cocktails to a group of women in a bachelorette's party when she sees her key at the bottom of her tray. She throws the empty tray up in excitement, with her server friends celebrating with her at the bar. Stefanie admits she has always been the type of person who uses her natural advantages to get far in life, be that her intuition, physicality, or good looks. A former Division I volleyball star turned cocktail waitress at a high-end club, Stefanie thinks she is the complete package needed to become the first winner of Kee's Big Brother.

Once the houseguests have been introduced, Kee tells them to enter the Big Brother house, which they do willingly, with Elwood rushing in first and Connie walking in last. They begin greeting each other as they walk through the kitchen into the backyard, where Part 1 of the HOH competition is set up. This year, the house is themed in a futuristic technology style, and all of the competitions will be themed after this. Once the houseguests reach the backyard, Kee informs them that the two houseguests that win this competition will advance to the final round of the first HOH.

Part 1 of the HOH is called **"Geared Up"**. The houseguests each have identical mobile-like set-ups of metal rods connected to one another by strings. They must attach gears of different weights and sizes to the rods so that the entire structure is balanced and nothing is touching the ground. The first two houseguests to correctly balance their structures will advance to the final part of the first HOH competition, while the last two finishers will become the first Have-Nots of the summer.

Once the competition begins, it is clear some of the houseguests are out of their depth. Leoni laughs at herself as she immediately becomes lost, saying she should've taken physics in school in the DR, while Maritza and Elwood cannot get a hang of the competition either. The other five houseguests do much better at the competition, intently hanging their gears. Connie quickly pulls into the lead of the group, balancing out her mobile incredibly fast. Before the rest of the houseguests are even close to figuring out the right balance, Connie finishes the competition, advancing to the next round.

The mechanical engineer celebrates quietly to herself, thrilled to have proven herself as a competitor, while the other houseguests race for the final spot. Aster and Jorge both fall behind Andre and Stefanie, who are both intent on winning, as they both planned to gun for the first HOH. Eventually, Andre is able to place his last gear before Stefanie, advancing to the second round by a hair over the cocktail waitress, who throws down her final gear with frustration. In the DR, Stefanie sighs that she had hoped to immediately gain power in the game so that she could be one of the power players of the season. Meanwhile, in the DR Andre celebrates, saying he believes that becoming the first HOH will set him up to manipulate the other houseguests easily. The other houseguests gradually finish, with Leoni and Elwood finishing last, meaning they will be the Have Nots. Elwood chuckles in the DR that he has no idea what that means, while Leoni bemoans the loss of her beloved hot showers.

With Connie and Andre officially advancing to the final round of the HOH competition, the first eight houseguests climb the spiral staircase to wait on the top deck to watch the second batch of houseguests enter the house and compete. They began chatting amongst themselves, getting to know one another, as the camera cuts back to the stage, where Kee is waiting with the other eight houseguests. Their introduction packages begin playing quickly afterward.

**Danaye** is watching a couple toddlers playing with blocks on a mat when one of the toddlers knocks over the whole tower, revealing her key hiding underneath. She grins happily as she picks up the key, hanging it around her neck and showing it to the curious little kids. Danaye says that she has always been the type of girl to be everyone's friend, and she plans to be just like that in the Big Brother house. She says she comes off sweet, but as a first generation American she's always had to work hard for what she wants, so she's got grit too.

**David** is showing a student several fingerings on the saxophone when he flips a page in the sheet music to find his key. He celebrates, picking up the key victoriously before playing a joyous tune on the sax that makes his student laugh. David says that he has always been an oddball, outcast for his nerdy interests and his love of classical music. Since becoming a saxophone teacher, he has been able to turn his passion into a moneymaker. David really doesn't know how to approach this game, but as a lover of strategy games like Risk, he plans to be ten steps ahead.

**Denny** is out for drinks with his co-workers as well as his fiancee Shelbie, who is also a co-worker, when he finds his key hiding under his plate. Laughing, Denny celebrates with his friends before kissing Shelbie on the lips. Denny says that he was always a party animal in college, but now he has cooled down with his comfy job as a financial analyst and his upcoming marriage. Denny thinks this is the last time he'll have a chance to do something crazy before building a family, so he plans to go all out in the Big Brother house as his final hurrah.

**Edward** is shooting hoops with some of his friends at the rec center when he picks up a ball from the rack to find his key resting underneath it. Edward whoops in excitement, immediately high-fiving his friends before they lift him up into the air. Edward is a self-described lifetime jock, having been a basketball player almost his entire life. After playing in college, Edward became a coach for a private school. Edward says that while jocks are usually thought of as stupid, he is certainly the exception, just as excited about the strategy as the physical competitions.

**Elina** sets down the phone in her small office, having just finished a call with one of her contacts working in another part of the country. When she goes to type something up on her computer, she discovers her key hiding on the keyboard. Elina jumps up and down, pumping her fist into the air in celebration. A relentless hard worker, Elina has always been proud of her work ethic, using it to create her own business selling home jewelry-making kits. Elina believes her determination and leadership skills as a fierce female entreprenuer will allow her to dominate.

**Kelsey** is relaxing by the pool with a gaggle of her friends in bikinis. She picks her drink up out of the cup holder in the floatie she is resting on, and she finds her key underneath it. She tumbles into the water in her excitement, grinning as she comes out of the water with the key in her hand. Having always been popular, pretty, and successful in life, Kelsey knows she might come off as a prissy rich girl at first, but in reality she is much rougher around the edges. She says being raised on a Texas farm gives her that extra grit to be a real competitor in the BB house.

**Morgan** is doing an acting exercise with some of his co-stars on a small community stage when one of them hands him his key, causing him to screech in excitement. His fellow actors congratulate him as Morgan dances around the stage wildly. Born in a wealthy family from upstate New York, Morgan has always found theater as his creative outlet in life. He now works as a permanent performance artist in a small theater in Manhattan. Morgan says he will not let the game ruin his unique sense of self, but he hopes his acting chops will help him win the game.

**Renate** shakes the hand of one of her clients in her large top floor office before being handed her key by her secretary. Renate grins excitedly upon receiving the key, telling her secretary to clear her summer schedule. The CEO of an investing firm that has recently hit the stock market, Renate is in a highly successful position in life. Feeling like she has conquered her ambitious career goals, Renate has decided to take a long vacation from her job to fulfill another goal: to win BB. Renate says she is ruthless, cold-hearted, and willing to do anything to win the 750k check.

Once the other eight houseguests have been introduced, they enter the house and walk to the backyard, where Part 2 of the HOH is explained to them, called **"Silicon Valley Stacks"**. Each houseguest will be given a pile of fifty blocks in the shape of microchips, and they must stack these blocks into a pyramid or tower that reaches a certain height marked by a pole that reaches over their station. The first two houseguests whose stacks reach the pole mark without falling over will advance to the final round of the first HOH competition while the last two finishers will become Have-Nots alongside Elwood and Leoni.

The houseguests immediately begin stacking, with many trying a simple tower of the microchip blocks to reach the pole. However, they quickly realize this will not work, as their unstable towers drop. Danaye laughs as her tower tips, saying in the DR that she plays with blocks all the time at the daycare center with the kids and should be better at this comp. Both Elina and Renate started by making pyramids, however, and this strategy pays off well for them, as they pull ahead of the other houseguests. The others begin mimicking their strategy to build a pyramid, but Elina and Renate's head start pays off, with Renate finishing fifteen seconds before Elina, sending both of them to the second round of the HOH. The other houseguests rush to finish, with Danaye and Morgan finishing last and becoming Have-Nots.

Soon after Part 2 of the HOH has finished, Andre, Connie, Elina, and Renate enter a blocked off section of the backyard for the final Part 3 of the HOH competition while the other fourteen houseguests watch from the balcony deck, getting to know one another. Part 3 of the HOH is called **"Crossed Wires"**. The houseguests must carry ten large foam pieces of a standing puzzle across the yard one at a time, but they must duck under and crawl over a tangle of wires that block their way to the other side. The first houseguest to get all their pieces across, finish their puzzle, and hit the buzzer will become the first HOH of the season.

Once the comp begins, Connie and Renate both fall behind the younger and more fit Andre and Elina, struggling to navigate the tangle of wires as adeptly. Connie and Renate both know how the puzzle should go together, but they are unable to get the pieces across quickly enough. Meanwhile, Andre and Elina move at similar paces, neck and neck in the comp. However, by the end, Elina pulls ahead a little bit, fitting in her tenth piece and hitting her buzzer while Andre is still crossing the wires with his final piece. Thus, Elina is the first HOH of the season! The other competitors hug and congratulate her, while the other houseguests come down from the balcony to congratulate her as well. Elina beams, saying in the DR that she knows to establish yourself as a leader you must have power, so the role of HOH will be very useful in her goal to create a strong alliance out the gate in the house.

Immediately once the houseguests enter the house, they crack open the bottles of champagne waiting for them in the living room and take turns introducing themselves to the group. No one lies about their occupation except for Renate, who tells everyone that she works as an administrative assistant. Renate chuckles in the DR, saying she knows no one will give her the 750k if they know she's already a millionaire. Meanwhile, some of the younger houseguests comment about how attractive they find each other; Kelsey giggles about how Elwood is like a living hulk, while Edward admits both Elina and Stefanie are drop-dead gorgeous. Throughout the introductions, Elina can be seen assessing everyone carefully.

Later on, Elina is let up into her HOH room. After celebrating with the houseguests, everyone files out slowly. Andre, Edward, and Renate are the last three left in the room, and Elina shuts the door once they are the only four left inside. In the DR, Elina says that she wants to build a dynamic alliance with a variety of strong players while keeping other strong players on the outs. She values nothing more than a strong work ethic, and she doesn't want to follow the typical route of making an all young-hot person alliance. She says she thinks both Andre and Renate proved themselves capable in the opening HOH while they both seem ready to play the game hard, while she thinks Edward is physically fit but smarter than he seems, and cute to boot. Thus, she believes they are the perfect three to form the core of her majority alliance.

Elina proposes this idea to the three others in the room, and they all readily agree to this plan, saying they get along with Elina well. In the DR, Andre says that while he wishes he would've gotten the power of HOH himself, he's happy he'll have the HOH's ear from the start. Renate feels honored, saying she has connected with Elina immediately, seeing a lot of her younger self in the savvy entreprenuer. Edward is thrilled, happy to be close to power and also because he has felt an instant connection with Elina. Once they have agreed to work together, the four discuss who else to bring into their majority alliance. Elina says she wants an alliance of eight so that they can control who stays and who goes this week, so they will need to bring four others into the fold.

There is a montage shown of Elina talking with many of the other houseguests throughout the first twenty four hours, sizing up who she believes would be the best fit for her alliance. She quickly bonds with Kelsey once Kelsey brings up her desire to start her own marketing firm one day, while also seeing her as a fit younger asset to the alliance. The rest of her picks for the alliance are less conventional, however. Elina also makes an early connection with Jorge, respecting the eldest houseguest's hustle as a high school teacher and finding him very endearing. She says she wants a balance of all kinds in her alliance, believing the wisdom of players like Jorge and Renate will aid its success. She also forges an unlikely friendship with kooky David over their love of science fiction novels, and Elina believes his unique perspective and humorous attitude will add levity to the hard-working alliance. Elina is a bit stuck on the eighth member to bring into the fold, but ultimately decides upon Leoni under Renate's suggestion. Renate has scooped Leoni under her wing immediately, with the two forging a Final 2 deal on the first day after forming a fast connection. Elina thinks Leoni might be too focused on being funny to play hard, but she respects her hustle in the stand-up world and decides she is a worthy addition.

Elina shares her reasonings for leaving the other eight houseguests out. She decides not to invite Elwood, who she thinks has too little grasp on the game to be useful, as well as Stefanie who she sees as a formidable opponent that would be too dangerous to bring very far into the game. She also likes Aster and Danaye, who are young social butterflies getting along with everyone that Elina thinks seem to be already playing the floater game and would not work well in a large alliance. She believes Denny is another friendly player who seems ready to float, and she also thinks he seems more focused on a fun crazy summer than crushing the game. She feels similarly about Maritza, who is quieter but doesn't seem very inclined to play hard out of the gate with her indecisive attitude. Morgan is also an easy leave-out, as his strange personality and melodramatic behavior quickly becomes a nuisance for many people in the house who peg him as a drama queen once he complains about being unable to eat the good cooking done by David on Night 1 since he is a Have-Not. One person Elina is unsure about is Connie; the older woman is a formidable competitor and someone who is obviously working hard in the game, but she has been struggling to make bonds with other players. While Elina likes her, she sees Connie as a potential early target, knowing she has to leave some players out of her alliance and seeing Connie as a mental and strategic threat.

Once the alliance has been decided, the members go out to recruit, with Renate pulling in Leoni, Edward mentioning the idea to Kelsey, and Elina directly informing Jorge and David. The night before nominations, Elina gathers the group in her HOH room once most of the house has gone to sleep or is relaxing in the hot tub outside. The motley crew she has gathered chats nonchalantly before Elina affirms that she wants all eight of them to form a strong alliance to run the house. Everyone is down with the idea, grateful to be included close to the source of power. In the DR, Leoni mentions that she doesn't feel that close to everyone in the group, but she knows it's in her best interest to play along and keep herself from making herself a target. Meanwhile, Jorge is thrilled in the DR, saying he didn't expect to be welcomed into a majority alliance with open arms as the oldest guy on the season, but that he's ready to play hard for this group of eight. Once they have agreed to work together, they brainstorm ideas for the alliance name. Joking about how Elina said she chose all of them for their hard work ethic, Kelsey says they should call themselves "The Construction Crew" as they work on constructing the perfect alliance. Finding this funny, everyone agrees to the name, and the Construction Crew officially solidifies their place as the power alliance in the house.

While the Construction Crew is forming in the HOH room, Stefanie comes inside from where she has been hanging out in the hot tub with Aster, Danaye, and Denny. She notices that a lot of people are not in their beds when she goes to change out of her swimsuit, and she rushes back outside to inform the other three that half of the house must be up in the HOH room. Aster and Danaye try to seem untroubled, not wanting to raise alarm bells, but Denny is freaked out too. Doing quiet detective work, he and Stefanie figure out who is missing from the downstairs bedrooms while making it seem like they are just changing. They deduce that there might be up to ten people up there, everyone in the majority alliance as well as Morgan and Elwood, who are asleep in the Have-Not room. Disgruntled, the two agree something shady is going down. Stefanie says in the DR that she is not here to be left out from the get-go, saying she is the type of person who is rarely not included in things. She plans to rain hell on these people if they think they can dismiss her so quickly. Denny is similarly worried, saying in the DR he didn't think he'd be frozen out so quickly but that he and Stefanie certainly have more work to do to figure out what's really going on.

Meanwhile, back up in the HOH room, the Construction Crew discuss who they think should be put up from the other half of the house. Several members of the alliance pitch putting up Morgan, since his drama is already rubbing people the wrong way, and Elina agrees, saying she thinks he is an easy person to put up this week but not necessarily a threat to their alliance. Everyone is less eager to pitch some of the stronger players in the house, so Elina reveals her idea to nominate Connie as well since she has proven herself as a strong competitor in the HOH while also struggling to assimilate into the social environment of the house. In the DR, David admits he likes Connie and isn't sure if he wants to see her nominated, but he decides not to complain, while Andre says he thinks there are bigger fish to fry like Stefanie, Denny, or Elwood who seem like they could all be capable threats. However, no one voices these opinions, not wanting to override Elina's will so soon after the formation of the alliance, so Elina takes this as a sign that Connie and Morgan noms are the best route for the Construction Crew this week with the possible backdoor of another big player in the house.

The next morning at the nomination ceremony, Elina brings down the wheel of keys, pulling the first key, which belongs to Edward. He then pulls another key, which belongs to Aster. Elina has intelligently spaced out the members of the Construction Crew in the key block so that their alliance is less obvious. The last three keys left belong to Renate, Maritza, and finally Stefanie, who is the last one to draw her key. This leaves Connie and Morgan as the nominees. Elina says that she has put up Morgan since he has caused some people to feel uncomfortable in the house, and that she has nominated Connie because she thinks she is a strong competitor who needs a wake-up call in the game. Morgan seems perturbed by his nomination, accepting hugs from everyone and sniffling, saying in the DR that he is annoyed that his dramatic tendencies are getting the best of him, but that he doesn't want to pretend to be someone he's not. Meanwhile, Connie says in the DR she is disappointed but not surprised, having sensed that Elina was wary of her from the start. Connie promises to not back down, planning to ratchet up her gameplay. Stefanie seems bothered by the nominations, saying in her DR it's clear Elina has some scheme running but she hasn't been able to figure out what it is yet. Finally, Renate says in the DR that it seems like the Construction Crew has officially found its first two targets, and she believes that there is nothing that can stop their group from growing in power as they take over the house.

#### Episode 2 (POV)

After the nomination ceremony, the houseguests disband from the dining table in order to hash out what has happened. Morgan goes to sit alone on the balcony overlooking the backyard, forlorn about the state of his game so far, saying in the DR that he is in a tug-of-war between following his true self and burying his emotions in order to play a good Big Brother game. He says it is hard for him to be dishonest with himself. While Morgan isolates himself to deal with his nominations, many members of the house console Connie, who thanks them awkwardly. Connie sighs in the DR, saying she is struggling to feel comfortable in this house, as there are so many younger people, and even the older people don't seem particularly fond of her yet. However, she affirms that she has just gotten a slow start to the game, and that no one should underestimate her capabilities.

Up in the HOH room, Andre, David, Edward, and Elina discuss the successful nominations. They congratulate Elina on successfully carrying out the first part of her plan as the HOH, and they discuss what they think will happen if one of the nominees comes off with the Veto later in the week. Andre immediately pushes hard for the idea of sending a big threat home, saying that if they are serious about the success of the Construction Crew, they need to immobilize their biggest targets first. Edward agrees with this idea, saying they can't waste their opening moment of power by taking out someone like Morgan, who is irritating at times but also not the kind of player that could tear down their alliance. Elina nods along to this, saying in the DR that if the POV is used, she will definitely have to consider gunning after an even bigger target than Connie this week to ensure the Construction Crew has a strong headstart in the game. Only David seems a bit skeptical, thinking it is too early to make big waves that would out their alliance. However, Andre brushes this off, and David says in the DR that he likes that his allies are ready to play hard but worries they might be playing too harshly.
