Big Brother 14

***Big Brother 14*** was the fourteenth season of *Big Brother SIMulator*. It began on September 29, 2020 and ended on October 25, 2020. In-game it lasted 30 days, ending when **Brody Morgan** won over **Marguerite Chenot** in a 4-3 vote.

## Twists

* **Flops vs. Newbies:** For the pre-jury phase of the game, houseguests were placed into two separate houses. One house was the Flops' House, which contained nine contestants from previous seasons who stood out for their lackluster gameplay and early departures. The other house was the Newbies' House, which contained nine entirely new players. Once three houseguests in each remained the houses would dissolve.
* **All-Star Bloodlands:** While the two houses ran through the pre-jury phase of the game, four all-stars competed in the Bloodlands twist. At the end of the pre-jury phase the final two Bloodlands players would face off in a last competition. The winner of the twist would join the remainder of the cast in the sole jury-phase house, whereas the loser would become the first member of the jury.
* **Fan Vote:** In Week 1, fans were given the power to give safety for the week to one houseguest in the Flops' House and one houseguest in the Newbies' House. The houseguests who received immunity were unable to compete in competitions that week.
* **Drag Weeks:** For the pre-jury phase of the game, each week was a drag week, with the evicted houseguest dragging one other houseguest competing with them in eviction. Winners of the Head of Household and Power of Veto competitions were ineligible to be dragged.
* **Re-Entry Vote:** In Week 4, one previously evicted houseguest from both the Newbies' and Flops' Houses won re-entry into the game according to a vote from the houseguests of the opposite house.
* **Immunity Competitions:** In Weeks 4 and 5, immunity competitions were held where two houseguests would win immunity from nomination for the remainder of the week. The houseguests who received immunity were unable to compete in other competitions that week.
* **Jury Vote Nullification**: In Week 10, the final three had to mutually agree upon one juror's vote to nullify come finale night. Said juror's finale vote would not count in the final vote used to determine the winner.

## Game History

### Week 1

The week began with the first Bloodlands competition of the season, a speed-based interval competition. Each round a houseguest won safety for the week. As Destiny failed to secure one of the three spots, she was the eliminated from the Bloodlands and became the first eliminated houseguest of the season.

In the Newbies' House, Corey won the stargazing endurance HOH competition. Within the household, lines began to form with Corey, Liz, and Brody on one side and Autumn, Breanna, Malik and Halif on the other, with Liz and Corey and Breanna and Malik forming especially close bonds. Corey nominated Marguerite and Jose, two of the older houseguests and outsiders in the house, but maintained good connections with both of them. When Marguerite went on to win a surprising sitting endurance POV, Corey had to name a replacement nominee. He chose to nominate Malik, who he felt was beginning to become his opposition. Corey and Liz tried to garner support for Jose to stay, recruiting Marguerite to their side, whereas Breanna, Halif and Malik attempted to garner support for Malik, recruiting Autumn and eventually Brody. With Brody on the other side, Jose was evicted in a 4 to 2 vote against Corey's wishes and chose to drag Halif, who had been campaigning against him.

In the Flops' House Carter and Jacquie were immediately drawn to each other romantically. Jacquie went on to win the endurance sitting HOH and nominated perceived house outsiders in Killian and Ruolan. In the Power of Veto, Carter won the stargazing endurance POV and decided to follow Jacquie's interest, keeping nominees the same. The house felt Ruolan did not ingratiate herself well enough and she was evicted in a unanimous vote. Ruolan dragged Justice, who she felt did not seem particularly committed to the game.

### Week 2

In the Bloodlands houseguests competed in an eating competition. In Round One, Maria was first to complete; in Round Two, Miri and DeShaun faced off for the last space left. DeShaun won, eliminating Miri from the Bloodlands.

Following Halif's eviction lines were drawn more clearly, separating Liz, Marguerite and Corey as a group of three. In a painting value HOH Marguerite pulled out a surprising win and decided to nominate the two players she perceived as leading the opposition: Malik and Breanna. Marguerite went on to win a dance battle Power of Veto, keeping her nominees the same. Seeing Malik as the leader of the majority alliance, Corey, Liz and Marguerite targeted him for eviction. Since the trio controlled the eviction as Marguerite would determine who would go home in the event of a tie, Brody and Autumn decided to go along with Marguerite's wishes and vote to evict Malik in a 4-0 vote. Malik decided to drag Corey, who had been targeting him for two weeks.

In the Flops' House Chanitllye won her first-ever competition, beating Killian and King out in the final round of a bonsai speed challenge HOH. She had been getting closer to King and Hazel, as well as Carter; however, she was wary of Jacquie, Carter's seeming number one, after Hazel and King began to spread rumors about the two of them as a duo. The power mapping of the house at this point would be Carter and Jacquie on one side, Hazel, King and Paul on the other, Chanitllye in between and Killian on the outside. Chanitllye decided to nominate Killian as a safe choice and Jacquie following the rumors being spread. This led to a conflict between Jacquie and Chanitllye and hurt Chanitllye's bond with Carter. In a value-of-find POV, Paul just beat out Carter and, in an attempt to build their relationship, used the Power of Veto on Killian. Chanitllye then put up Carter, leaving the showmance on the block so one of them would be evicted. The house unanimously preferred to evict Jacquie, who had to decide between dragging an enemy in Killian and a threat for Carter in Hazel. She ultimately chose to drag Hazel, another player who had a hand in her demise.

### Week 3

In the final pre-jury week, Autumn pulled out HOH in a writing value competition for the Flops', nominating her opposition in Marguerite and Liz. Throughout the week Autumn and Brody became exceptionally close. In a bonsai speed POV, Autumn again pulled out the win. Keeping her nominees the same, she brought the house to a unanimous Liz eviction, as Liz was seen as the bigger threat. Liz chose to drag Breanna, who was against her in the game and she had less respect for.

Paul won HOH in a second bonsai speed HOH, nominating Carter, who was on the outs from the last week, and Killian, an easy pawn. This cemented the trio of Chanitllye, Paul, and King going into the jury phase. Chanitllye won a table sit endurance POV narrowly over Paul, keeping nominations the same. The house sent a threat home in Carter, who ultimately did not have bad blood with anyone but chose to drag King because of his relative security in the game.

### Week 4

After the Week Three evictions, the houseguests were notified of the other houses and the Bloodlands twist. In a twist return where each house got to vote an evictee from the opposite house into the game, Carter and Halif won spots back in the game; Carter because he was not likely to work with his housemates again and Halif for his fun personality.

In the Bloodlands, Maria and DeShaun faced off in a table sit endurance competition for a spot in the jury phase. Maria easily beat DeShaun in a shocking outcome, making DeShaun the first member of the jury.

The week had a pressure cooker endurance competition for an immunity challenge, where the two final remaining houseguests would receive immunity for the week and also be ineligible to compete in later competitions. Chanitllye and Marguerite won, gaining immunity for the week. Immediately following, a stargazing HOH competition led to an intense competition between Carter and Paul, with Paul ultimately pulling out the win. While Carter seemed like the easiest choice for a nominee, Paul had been getting closer to him and noticed an opposing power structure from the Newbies' House in Brody, Autumn and Halif. He decided to split up this trio by nominating Autumn and Brody. He chose not to put up Carter, too, because he did not seem to harbor ill-will from his eviction.

The sides of the house were split with Brody, Autumn, and Halif on one side, Chanitllye, Killian and Paul on the other, Carter, Marguerite and Maria balancing in the middle. Carter had been targeted by the Flops prior and so was willing to go against them; Marguerite was on the outs of the Newbies' House by the end of the game and felt no loyalty to them; and Maria had just entered the game, and was in the clear due to the battle for control over the new house's power structure.

In a spray paint art speed POV, Paul once again edged out Carter and kept his nominations the same. Paul, Killian, and Chanitllye saw Autumn as the bigger threat, whereas Halif and Marguerite both felt closer to Brody. Because of this, there was not enough support to keep Autumn in the game and she was evicted in a 6-0 vote, making her the second juror.

### Week 5

In a flea market speed purchase immunity competition Brody and Maria won immunity. Then, in a bartending quality competition (where speed was used as a tiebreaker), Carter won HOH and, despite their respective comfort in him the week before, nominated Paul and Chanitllye. The houseguests not on Paul's side appreciated this, but noted that his going against them did not necessitate their future loyalty.

In a basketball close shot POV, Carter won and kept his nominations the same. Going into the eviction the house was split; since Paul was integral to the Flops' alliance, Killian and Marguerite, who had been growing closer to the side, wanted to keep him. Seeing Chanitllye as the weaker player, Brody, Halif and Carter wanted Paul to go home. This left Maria as a tiebreaker. Seeing Paul as the bigger threat she voted to evict him, sending him home in a 3-2 vote and making him the third juror.

### Week 6

In a fishing variety HOH a wildcard pulled out the win in Killian. The house was slightly chaotic as people tried to gage what they would do. Killian chose to keep Chanitllye and Marguerite safe as they had been working with them. Ultimately, they chose to nominate two people they were not close to: Brody and Maria.

In a cooking quality competition (where speed was used as a tiebreaker) Halif narrowly beat out Maria and won POV, deciding to take of their closest friend, Brody, Killian had to name a replacement nominee between Chanitllye, Marguerite and Carter. They had been working with Chanitllye and did not want to nominate her, and ultimately went with the bigger threat as a nominee: Carter. Although the house appreciated Carter's previous HOH, they felt no loyalty to him and wanted the bigger threat out. At the end, Carter was evicted 4-0, making him the fourth juror. Since Carter did not play in the veto, this was the first backdoor of the season.

### Week 7

In a social HOH where houseguests voted for their closest ally and against their biggest enemy, Brody dominated the competition with 15 points, beating Halif's 5, Chanitllye's 3, Marguerite's 0, and Maria's -13, respectively. He nominated the remaining members of the Flops' power structure, Chanitllye and Killian. Then, in a modelling value competition, Marguerite pulled out the win and pulled down her friend and ally, Killian, from the block. Brody nominated his own ally, Halif, because he worried his other ally, Maria, would be evicted. Ultimately he made the right decision; Maguerite voted for Halif and Maria voted for Chanitllye, as expected. Killian's vote would determine who would go home, and they chose to cut their own former ally, Chanitllye, in order to keep weaker members in the house and lower their own target level. Chanitllye went home 2-1, becoming the fifth juror.

### Week 8

In the past weeks new relationships began to form; Brody created final twos with both Maria and Halif, who he had become very close to. Bonding over their shared non-binary identities, Killian and Halif, too, would make a final two. In a pressure cooker HOH, houseguests' willpower was put to the test and Killian came through with the win. Despite their alliance with Halif, they recognized the closeness of Halif and Brody and nominated the duo together while targeting Brody. This sent Halif spiraling and led to a huge conflict between them and Killian, as they believed they had been betrayed. Still confident that Brody would be sent packing with themself casting the tiebreaking vote, Killian kept nominations the same after winning a dance battle POV. As they expected, Maria voted to evict Halif, who she was less close to. But to their surprise their ally and friend Marguerite flipped and also voted to evict Halif, who she was less close to, as she hoped to gain favor from the majority run by Maria and Brody in the house. This sent Halif to jury in a 2-0 vote, making them the sixth juror.

### Week 9

Thing became intense as the final four fought to secure spots in the final week of the game, seeming to be split down the middle with Marguerite and Killian on one side and Maria and Brody on the other. In a maze speed HOH, Brody's 28 minute time beat Maria's 30 minute and Marguerite's 38 minute, making him the HOH. Keeping his ally safe, he nominated Killian and Marguerite for eviction. In the lowest cost purchase estimation POV, each houseguest got to pick one juror to play on their side for the competition. Ordered by random draw, Brody picked Autumn, Maria picked DeShaun, Killian picked Chanitllye, and Marguerite picked Paul. After all four teams tied in the first round, a tiebreaker second round was held in which Killian and Chanitllye won, allowing Killian to remove themself from the block. This left Maria as the replacement nominee with Killian being the sole vote to evict. Knowing Maria was a bigger strategic threat and therefore likely a greater threat to win, they evicted Maria, making her the seventh juror.

### Week 10

The week took an unusual start when the final three were informed they would have to agree on one juror's vote to nullify come finale night. Brody advocated to keep Autumn, Maria and Halif, whereas Killian and Marguerite both wanted to keep Paul and Chanitllye. This left Carter and DeShaun; since DeShaun was seen as more of a wildcard, the three agreed to nullify Carter's vote.

The final three HOH was a speed-based running competition, where Killian won the first two rounds but Brody won the last three, becoming the final HOH of the season. While Killian's flip-floppy game burned many jurors, Brody still pondered whether their gameplay made them more of a threat to win than Marguerite. This was not actually the case, as most jurors were rooting for Marguerite to win at this point, save Autumn, Maria and Halif, with DeShaun being somewhere in the middle. Brody ultimately chose to take the popular Marguerite to finale night, which was regarded as a bad move by the jurors when they were notified. This made Killian the final member of the jury.

### Week 11

During finale night many of the votes were already locked. Maria, Halif and Autumn were voting for their close ally Brody, and after talking to Maria DeShaun was set on voting for Brody as well, as he was a fan of his upfront gameplay. Chanitllye and Paul were planning on voting for their friend Marguerite, and Killian debated but ultimately decided they would choose their friend Marguerite because they were bitter after Brody cut them and also saw it as a bad move. This ironically left Carter, who ultimately was still burned by Brody's betrayal and voted for Marguerite to win. However, as Carter's vote had been nullified the week prior, this meant Brody won the season in a 4-3 final vote.

Also on finale night, the top three vote getters for Fan Favorite were announced: Autumn, Carter, and DeShaun. Carter would ultimately win the prize.
