Hall of Knives

*As she giggles excitedly, the houseguests exchange nervous glances at each other. Well, it looks like this is the safest way to proceed with your lives, right?*
*...A little stab wound is nothing, right..?* - BB4 Update

The ***Hall of Knives*** is a forum game competition in BB4 and BB5.

## Concept and Rules

The houseguests are faced with a hall, featuring ten sets of two doors. Each set of doors has one door with knives. The 10 sets are generated without the houseguests' knowledge, giving the game a somewhat random feel. In actuality, the doors were pre-set, meaning houseguests played the game blind, and not randomly.

For each set, houseguests must choose either the left door or the right door. Opening the wrong door will give the houseguest a stab wound.

The houseguest with the least amount of stab wounds after 10 doors is declared the winner.

## Winning Placements

In BB4, LC won the original competition with 3 stab wounds. However, Lorde received the worst score with 8 stab wounds and was challenged to play the competition in Week 9's *Face Your Fears* competition, where she finished with a score of 100%.

In BB5, the game was revealed to have competitions from past games, starting with Hall of Knives as Week 1's HOH competition. Jade won the competition with 3 stab wounds, the same as the winning score in the season prior.

## Trivia

Due to the flavour in which updates were written in BB4, Hall of Knives is the only competition to have the entire house's scores revealed without some sort of twist. This was due to the acts of The Hostess "mocking" those who just picked the same door over and over and over again, therefore failing to win the competition.
Jojo Frog

***Jojo Frog***is a flash game competition in BB7 and BB9.

## Concept and Rules

In Jojo Frog, houseguests had to maneuver falling frogs to the sides of the screen. Landing frogs to safety, or frogs eating mosquitoes, would result in points. The houseguest with the most points would win the competition!

## Winning Placements

In BB7, Jade scored the highest, with 102 points, winning the Power of Veto! He chose the Secret POV, meaning his identity and score were not revealed.

In BB9, Mora scored the highest with 57 points, winning the Power of Veto and full control for the week.
RyZe

**Veto Wins** | 1 (Week 1)

***RyZe*** was a houseguest on BB11.

## Big Brother 11: Shadowed Forest

In BB11, Ryze set himself up well from the get go. He connected with Mars, who he knew previously, as well as getting into *GrayScoRySen* after getting close to Gray and Senkun. He originally wanted to target Scorpion from the get go, but after realizing that he and Gray were a duo he decided he could work with him instead. He rode the majority of his time in the game out with his alliance, keeping his side connection with Mars until that seemed to drop off as well. Despite this he was positioned well, but couldn’t keep the same connections as Senkun when he found himself on the block week 5. He started off in a strong position, but as the game went on his commitment seemed to drop and because of this, he couldn’t keep himself safe and was evicted 5-0.

### Voting History

* Note: Because Ryze did not attend the finale, his vote was given to America.
Fallen Stars

*This is a game about those who've fallen from grace, and in our case, that's those already out of the running. Over the past 3 weeks of this game, 3 people have been evicted. Here are the 3 evicted houseguests from the previous weeks. Now for the fun part, for me at least. It is now your responsibility to pick one of them. - BB5 Update*

***Fallen Stars***is a forum game discussion-based competition in BB5 and BB13.

## Concept and Rules

After a few weeks, previously evicted houseguests would all be brought to the spotlight. The current houseguest would be told that they must choose 1 of the evicted houseguests. If one evicted houseguest received the majority of the votes to be selected, the discussion would end, as they'd be the "chosen" evicted houseguest. The evicted houseguest they chose would then ultimately have power to grant to a current houseguest of their choice.

## Winning Placements

In BB5, Draskk received 4 votes to be picked, and had the majority. His decision was to decide who would be the week's HOH, and he chose TE. It was then revealed that Draskk received a 'special reward', which was the first seat on the jury.

In BB13, Brave quickly received 5 votes to have the majority. Their decision was to decide who would receive the [TBA], and they chose to give it to Almonds.
Crystal Luna

**Veto Wins** | 0

***Crystal\_Luna*** was a houseguest on BB14.

## Big Brother 14: Grimm

In BB14, Luna was another largely inactive player who had little impact on the game. She found herself in a mildly decent position early on with her placement in the all-girls alliance and the fallout that happened after. But her social game was dead, and she was very rarely seen having a conversation with anyone. She was able to earn herself immunity through the Witch’s House after surviving the vote as a pawn against Alexis, but did not use it to her advantage. She coasted her way through the rest of the game until her unanimous eviction during week 5.
Estoc of Faith

*"Well, if one of you wants this, you're going to have to- oh, whoops."*
*Clearly cutting herself off, she stops for a second and then smashes the sword onto the ground, breaking the blade into pieces.*
*"Like I said, an easy decision. Looks like no one wanted the Estoc of Revolution anyways..."* *-*The Hostess

The ***Estoc of Faith*** is an advantage in BB4 .

## Details

#### Usage

The Estoc of Faith can be used at any time during a competition. It can only be used once.

#### Effect

The Estoc of Faith is an advantage used by giving it to another houseguest. Upon giving it to a houseguest, the giver and receiver of the advantage swap scores for the current competition.

The receiver of the advantage will be given a message saying they have received the ***Estoc of Revolution***, a fake advantage, along with false information that it will raise their score for the current competition.

However, the advantage can be used only once, and neither houseguest will know the scores being received.

#### Ownership

At the End of Week Six, a suspicious action was added to the houseguests' lists of options for the week. This option was simply labelled "*➤ Die"* and would lead to a scenario in which a houseguest would receive the advantage. This scenario would not be given by random chance like others, but would be somewhat weighted by the Leap of Faith twist, where the houseguest who had earned the most faith from others would receive the scenario.

No houseguest had selected this option, therefore leading to the Estoc being broken by The Hostess at the beginning of the following week in a taunting manner. Therefore, it could never be given to another houseguest or used, and is the only advantage to never be owned by a player in the series.

## Impact on the Game

As the advantage was never received by a houseguest and was broken upon its introduction, the advantage never had a direct on the game. However, due to the caution over the End of Week mechanic sparked by the Naginata of Suspension and The Murder Trial, this End of Week was created to make houseguests even more uncertain of what could come from the mechanic, and their safety from it. This eventually led up to UMA at the end of the game, a twist that would test the houseguests and their fear of the house itself. While it was never directly used, the Estoc became one of the most influential advantages in the late-game, in a subtle way the houseguests never expected.
MCGRaven

***MCGRaven*** was a houseguest on BB6, BB7, and BB8.

## Big Brother 7: Sweet Sabotage

### Comp History

**Note:** 1 Raven acknowledged seeing a preseason leak, which resulted in himself and 4 others being exiled from the first HOH.

### Voting History

 2
 3

## Big Brother 8: Friends & Enemies

In BB8, Raven began to realize his potential as a player, but also proved once again his weakness of creating arguments and drama. Working with Violet early on, he helped her to run the game pre-jury, grabbing Mirdo as a pocket to assist their alliance and being in the Azalea alliance with her. His ability to predict Violet’s moves also allowed him to grab the Backdoor Blockade while she won HOH on Week 3. After Violet was blindsided and Mirdo turned against him, Raven was suddenly in a precarious spot in the game, but he managed to use a vicious argument and elaborate lie to convince Mirdo to rejoin his side. He regained the numbers after Mae was expelled, since he had pocketed Lily and pocketed Alfze through his connection to Mirdo and the Birds and Swede alliance. Though Raven was the primary target of the La Revolución alliance, he managed to win the Power of Veto Week 6. On Week 7, with Flour as HOH and Mirdo saving himself with the POV, it seemed that Raven’s run had come to an end, but he managed to get Brave to flip their vote, securing the numbers to stay another week. However, after Flour and Lorde got Mirdo to confront Raven about his actions on Week 4, Raven launched into another vicious argument with Mirdo, leading to Mirdo voting against him. Due to this interpersonal conflict, Raven quit the game just hours before he would have been evicted.

### Comp History

**Note:** 1 As part of Temptation Week, Raven decided to compete for the Backdoor Blockade, and give up his ability to compete in the HOH and POV competitions for the week.
Dainslef, the Cursed Sword

*The houseguests awaken as the sun rises, but upon taking a look around, they realize they’re no longer in their rooms. They quickly ascertain they’ve been moved when they were asleep and now awaken in the house’s ceremony room. Waking up, they look around to see something they couldn't have ever imagined.*
*In the middle of the Ceremony Room is Blakers, TOTAL\_EPICNESS and Little Cherrim all laying down with a large, curved sword piercing through each of their left hands, with their wrists tied together. The sword is glowing with a soft, bright red light. **- BB4 Update***

***Dainslef, the Cursed Sword*** is a Red Moon advantage in BB4.

## Details

#### Usage

Dainslef, the Cursed Sword is automatically used at the beginning of Week Eight, being earned by any houseguests who meet the specific criteria of having engaged The Hostess at the End of Week Seven. It can be used only once.

#### Effect

Any houseguest who had earned Dainslef at the beginning of Week Eight was subject to having their score for any competition that week become public knowledge, able to be checked by any houseguest who had not earned the advantage. Any houseguest who earned the advantage will also be added to a special "Dainslef Chat", keeping the discussion of the other players away from their knowledge.

Usage of the advantage will also become public knowledge, however it will break after use.

#### Ownership

The advantage was given to Blakers, TOTAL\_EPICNESS and Little Cherrim for being the players to engage The Hostess in discussion at the End of Week Seven, where they had gotten into a scuffle and had been knocked unconscious, only to wake up to receiving the advantage, beginning the week.

## Impact on the Game

As Blakers, TOTAL EPICNESS and Little Cherrim earned the advantage at the end of Week Seven, they woke up at the beginning of Week Eight to find themselves in a difficult position, separated from their allies with the existence of a double eviction week hanging over their heads. However, while their scores had become public knowledge, they weren't scouted often, and all three houseguests given the advantage still managed to score the top 3 scores in the Grand Reaper competition.

After the Idol of Life competition, a strange double eviction took place where all votes had become public knowledge. With the house's aggressive votes towards Hermes and lack of safety towards mirdo, they were the sixth and fifth houseguests to die. The advantage was used instantly, and therefore could not be given or lost.
Count to Ten

***Count to Ten***is a forum game competition in BB1, BB2, and BB9.

## Concept and Rules

Players say 1-3 numbers and take turns saying them starting at 1. The numbers can only increase, they can't decrease. There's also a certain order to who says the numbers when. The person who says 10 is out. Once a person's out, the game keeps going, and this goes on until only 1 person is left standing.

In BB9, the element of prizes and punishments was added. When someone was eliminated, they would claim a pre-determined prize for their placement. From there, they would be able to swap their prize in exchange for prizes of players who placed lower than them. This would continue until the competition is done, and all 6 players have gone through this process.

## Winning Placements

In BB1, this HOH competition went to DoS, the host of the very first actual CTT game outside the BB games. He used it to save his ally, Quaking, from the block.

In BB2, NP won the competition. He chose not to remove anyone from the block, and to keep the nominees the same.

In BB9, though many prizes and punishments were claimed throughout the competition, Cheez ultimately claimed the POV, pulling himself from the block.
Iret

**Veto Wins** | 0

***Iret*** was a houseguest on BB14.

## Gameplay Personality

*wait what am i voting for* - Skylar, BB14
## Big Brother 14: Grimm

In BB14, Skylar was barely anything more than a pawn to the power players. Not the most social player, he made a few connections and was pulled into the boy’s alliance. When he was active, he was likeable, and this caused Lexy to want to work closely with him. For a large chunk of the game, he was Taylen’s number-one due to this. While very short lived, he almost became close with Coltyn during his time in the house. Due to a tight schedule, once the jury phase hit, Skylar’s activity dropped even lower than it already was. He was evicted during the double eviction in a 2-0 vote.
Coltyn

***Coltyn*** was a houseguest on BB14 and BB15.

## Gameplay Personality

*I controlled noms, absolute Poggers* - Coltyn, BB14
## Big Brother 14: Grimm

In BB14, Coltyn began the game by reaching out to many of his fellow Houseguests and attempting to make strong social connections. This placed him in a fairly decent position in the first week of the game. When the all-girls alliance was leaked to him, he confronted Alexis and she added him to it, attempting to fix the situation. Along with his in to the all-girls alliance, he created a boys alliance to keep them in his good graces. However, some people saw through him and knew he could be a social threat. With this and some of his connections slipping, Lexy was able to convince the house to send him out the door, and he was evicted week 2.
Hot Air Bloon

***Hot Air Bloon***is a flash game competition in BB7.

## Concept and Rules

In Hot Air Bloon, houseguests had to maneuver through a path lined by clouds and trees, attempting to hit as many balloons as possible before wrecking their Hot Air Balloon. The houseguest who accumulated the most points would win the competition.

### Controversies

In BB7, multiple players reported extreme frame latency, to the point where it became unbearable to play. Multiple others in both the house and the audience reported more extreme consequences, such as computer crashes or having to restart their OS systems. According to Violet, the game was intentionally picked to be frustrating with latency inconsistencies, but any other problems faced by houseguests were unaccounted for.

## Winning Placements

In BB7, Jade won this competition with 693 points, saving himself with the veto.
Color Switch

***Color Switch*** is a flash game competition in BB1, BB2, BB4, BB7 and BB13.

## Concept and Rules

In Color Switch, houseguests click to send a ball upwards through multi-coloured shapes. The ball may only pass through parts of the shapes that are the same colour, and the ball changes colour every so often. Passing through a shape gives the player a point, and the houseguest with the highest score is the winner.

## Winning Placements

In BB1, Blakers won the first Color Switch competition with 25 points, who had been barely trailed by Vracken and DoS, both with 24 points.

In BB2, NP submitted a score of 24 points, which would have trailed Jesi's score of 27 points, but due to NP possessing an advantage in the immunity challenge, his score was increased to 39 points, giving him immunity.

In BB4, R3 had set the record of the highest score submitted for the game with 74 points.

In BB7, Jade had won Week 5's POV allowing him use of the Tricky POV. The veto's task was to score higher than 25 points, beating out the record of the original high score in BB1. Jade succeeded and pulled himself off the block.

In BB13, Draskk won the competition with a score of 89 points, breaking R3's record and winning the POV.
Firekitten

***firekitten***is the winner of BB16, and the runner-up of BB6. He also competed in BB15.

## Big Brother 6: Training & Tributes

In BB6, FK spent most of the season coasting along. Due to being on Team NP, he linked up with Jade and spent most of the game riding his coattails. Due to his minuscule status in the game, he was consistently used as a pawn in the latter half of the game to evict bigger players like Draskk and Flour. After coasting along all season, FK finally showed signs of life after causing a massive upset at the Final 4 by winning the final POV of the season. These signs of life continued, as despite bringing along an unbreakable duo in Jade and Mae, he won Parts 2 and 3 of the Final HOH, receiving passage to the Final 2. Despite being set up to win the season due to the jury's harbored bitterness towards Jade, his lack of any response to jury questions resulting in him losing the game in a 5-2 vote, only receiving the votes of Flour and America.

## Big Brother 15: Purgatory

### Voting History

1 In order to compete for an advantage in the Demon Chamber, FK sacrificed his vote to evict on this week.
PB&J

**Veto Wins** | 1 (Week 7)

***PB&J*** was the runner-up of BB14.

## Gameplay Personality

*Female majority? \*happy gay sounds\** - Mae, BB14
## Big Brother 14: Grimm

### Comp History

In BB14, Mae established herself as a strong second-in-command player, working closely with Turtwig in the shadows. Though she was most active in the early game, she played well throughout, managing to win multiple competitions and stay in people’s good graces. Mae largely contributed to the organization and execution of the Coltyn backdoor during her HOH. When shots were fired by Lexy against her ride-or-die Turt, Mae won the veto and saved him. Though she was targeted by Nyan during the double eviction, she was saved by Turt, once again proving how strong the relationship she had forged was. Even after losing the final HOH, she managed to make an effective plea to Nyan, who made the surprising decision to evict Carson and put Mae into the F2 with her. She made a strong jury case, and had a good chance of winning it all in a toss-up jury battle. In the end, she was the runner-up in a close 4-3 vote.
Little Cherrim

*Je suis désolé... I aim the barrel at Blakers and pull the trigger. - Little Cherrim, BB4*

***Little Cherrim*** was a houseguest on BB2, BB3, BB4 and BB5 and BB15.

## Gameplay Personality

*I'm gonna concede this to NP. - Little Cherrim*
## Big Brother 2: Clique Collision

In BB2, LC aligned with future winner Celever and went deep into the game, eventually making it to the Final 4. He conceded a challenge to NP, and later decided that he'd spent too much time on a certain clue in the Amazing Race week. He quit, not realizing he most likely would've stayed in the game had he known Celever himself had done nothing for so long.

## Big Brother 3: Out of the Box

In BB3, LC was a non-player of sorts. He maintained his spot in the game, and coasted along alright well into the jury phase, on the strength of his connections in the Friendly Four alliance. However, due to just generally being on the outs of the house, he was evicted over FL with a 2-1 vote.

## Big Brother 4: House of Horrors

In BB4, he continued where he left off in the previous season for most of the game, and laid low. He was situated in the *Fab Five* with TE, NP, Blakers, and Lorde. This alliance ran the game after the sudden blindside of Quaking, and filled every spot in the Final 4. However LC barely got the short end of the stick, was evicted by a sudden death round, and was named the final member of the jury.

## Big Brother 5: Game Changer

In BB5, LC went in swinging being under the spotlight in the pre-jury phase, making enemies with former ally Celever. He survived a vote against Draskk in the end, but he largely allowed himself to fall victim to being pawned by NinjaPenguin and manipulated by Hermes. When Jade was the initial evictee, he fell to the *Épée of Times End*, and was evicted in 5th place.
Big Brother 15: Purgatory

> "*You've played out your Big Brother lives, the hopes of moves and blindsides past replaying in your memories. And yet your time in the Big Brother House may feel incomplete, time spent on a quest for glory you never fully achieved. This season is your chance to ascend to heights of success, but in order to do so, you must cast your fellow houseguests down to the pit of defeat.*" - NP, BB15

It was officially revealed on May 22nd, 2022 in the PBB discord server as the third All-Star season in the series' history. The season began a few weeks later on June 13th, 2022 with twelve houseguests. It ended on July 31st of the same year with long-time veteran Draskk beating out former winner Shaymin in a landslide 6-1 vote.

Cubefield

***Cubefield***is a flash game competition in BB11.

## Concept and Rules

In Cubefield, houseguests have to maneuver an arrow around tons of rapidly-appearing cubes for as long as possible. The houseguest who scores the highest will win the competition!

## Winning Placements

In BB11, Gray and Scorpion's duo won the HOH with an average score of 386,757 points, becoming the Co-HOHs for the week!
Doubles Week

***Doubles Week***is a twist introduced in BB2.

## Details

Doubles Week is a twist that would fundamentally change how the first part of a week would work. 2 HOHs would be crowned, each one naming 2 nominees. Each set of nominees would compete in the Battle of the Block competition. The outperforming set of nominees would be saved from the block, and the HOH that nominated them would be dethroned.

## Effects on the Game

The twist provided nominees chances to keep themselves in the game, starting with this but even extending to the POV. Because of this one-off twist, the Offbeats who won were saved, and the Populars both managed to escape the block after the POV. This enabled both sets of initial nominees to be safe.

## Player Reception

This twist was overall not hard to manage and was easy to follow, but overall was the start to an incredibly messy week. Of the 4 nominees, only 1 of them actually sent in a score (Blakers). 1 nominee chose to walk due to not having time to play the game (Muffin), and another was modkilled due to overall inactivity (Quaking).
Alolan Volcanic Panic

***Alolan Volcanic Panic***is a flash game competition in BB1.

## Concept and Rules

Houseguests had to switch between the three starters, who had to fire off attacks as quickly as possible at differently typed rocks. This needed to be kept up for as long as possible.

## Winning Placements

Quaking managed to pull off another HOH win with 915,750 points. He nominated BB and TAE.
Falling Circles

***Falling Circles***is a flash game competition in BB11 and BB12.

## Concept and Rules

In Falling Circles, houseguests have to keep a square on a platform, safe from bouncing balls, for as long as possible. They can also collect advantages to shoot balls away from them to keep them alive longer. The houseguest that keeps their square on the platform for the longest will win the competition!

## Winning Placements

In BB11, Sena won the competition, staying alive for 2 minutes and 36 seconds, becoming the new HOH!

In BB12, Draskk won the competition with a score of 4 minutes and 8 seconds, smashing the record and winning the POV!
Instant Eviction

The ***Instant Eviction***is a twist introduced in BB1, returning for multiple seasons throughout the series.

## Details

The Instant Eviction works the exact same as a normal week would, except no Power of Veto competition takes place. This means that after an HOH names their initial nominees, an eviction will immediately begin.

In BB10 and BB13, a different version of the Instant Eviction occured as a result of an opening twist, where lower scorers in competitions would be nominated without the chance to save themselves.

In BB12, the Instant Eviction occured as part of a double eviction.

## Effects on the Game

This twist dramatically changes how a week plays out. With no POV to compete in, plans on the trajectory have to change. A notable example of this is in BB4, when Lorde won the HOH and wanted to backdoor Quaking, but was not able to after it was announced that an instant eviction was happening. As a result of the instant eviction's occurence, she had to change plans and shift targets to DoS.

## Player Reception

The instant eviction twist is more of a mixed bag of reception from players. Though it was used frequently in earlier games of the series, it's often called into question how fair it is, not giving the initial nominees a chance to remove themselves from the block. An especially odd inclusion was BB4's Instant Eviction, given that it was the first game to completely remove any kind of comeback mechanic.
Poom!

***Poom!*** is a flash game competition in BB4, BB5, and BB7.

## Concept and Rules

In Poom!, houseguests control a ball bouncing off panels in order to raise the highest score they can. Each bounce will generate a new set of panels, with different effects such as coins that raise score or trampolines that cause the ball to bounce higher.

## Winning Placements

In BB4, NP originally submitted the highest score of 5,650 points, however the *Leap of Faith* twist of Week 3 caused the score to go towards the victory of Hermes and Blakers, however the personal score of the former beat the latter, giving Hermes the victory with a personal score of 4,050 points.

In BB5, the challenge's winner and winning score were purposely kept a secret, as the winner received an advantage in the game which turned out to the *Legacy Advantage*. This winner turned out to be Violet, who won with a gigantic score of 8,850 points.

In BB7, Jade won this competition with a solid 3,160 points, winning out due to reputation rather than stand-alone score.
Jury Comeback

***Jury Comeback***is a twist introduced in BB2, and later used in BB7 and BB14.

## Details

The jury was notified that they would be able to compete in a challenge to try to win their way back into the game. The current jurors at this time were: Nyora, mirdo, and Celever. Celever ended up winning the challenge, and re-entered the game.

5 seasons later in BB7, the jury (in order) of: Nick, Flour, Vom, and Lily competed for their chance to return to the game. Flour won the competition, and re-entered the house.

Another 7 seasons later in BB14, the jury (in order) of: Darcie, Luna, Nyan and Alfze secretly competed alongside the houseguests in the current HOH competition, where they could win HOH on top of re-entering if they had the overall highest score. Nyan managed to score the highest of the jury members, and re-entered the house.

## Effects on the Game

A player, a previous member of the jury, was granted re-entry after their win. In BB2, This clearly had a massive effect on the game, as the winner of the comebacks Celever managed to win the game. BB7 was a similar case as well, where Flour had gained re-entry, and eventually finished 2nd.

## Player Reception

In BB2, comebacks were seen as expected, and no one believed that there wouldn't be any. Someone making their return to the game was completely expected.

In BB7 however, houseguests had played so many games without comebacks, as BB3 was the last game to feature them in any point, that most veteran houseguests were surprised after the assumption of a lack of comebacks. It was later stated by VioletValkyrie in the game's jury chat that "[she] was perfectly willing to tell anyone who asked that they were happening... and then no one asked. "
Don't get 12th to 10th group

***don't get 12th to 10th group*** is a major alliance formed in BB12.

## Members

 **Jury**

 **Jury**

 **Walked**

## Formation

The alliance formed within the first couple of days, as the winners (Ephemera, Hermes and Mars) all decided that banding together in the name of self-preservation was a good idea, forming in an almost identical manner to BB10's *Winner's Circle* (as it's basically a Winner's Circle 2.0).

## Notable Moves

Ephe won the first HOH, and used it to take out Aria. During week 5, Mars also managed to hijack Anna's HOH in the name of taking out Draskk, who he believed would be an enemy to the alliance, but failed as a result of Hermes flipping on the alliance.

## Success

This alliance had more success than anyone anticipated, but it didn't take long for the alliance to fall apart. Hermes turned on the alliance and voted Ephemera out on week 2, and though the connection was maintained with Mars, this one was eventually burned too shortly after Ephe returned to the game. The alliance wound up being too caught up in their own personal games and began to turn on one another towards the end of week 5. Though Hermes did succeed in taking both of them out, he was flipped on by one of his previous numbers, ending his game as well, ultimately blocking anyone in the alliance from a second win.
Legacy Advantage

The ***Legacy Advantage*** is an advantage in BB5.

## Details

#### Usage

The Legacy Advantage was to be used during the HOH of the Final 8 or the Final 5.

#### Effect

The Legacy Advantage granted complete immunity to the user for the entire week. If the holder died while in possession of this advantage before the Final 5, they had to choose a player still in the house to receive it.

#### Ownership

Since VioletValkyrie won Poom!, the Reward competition that rewarded this advantage, she was given the advantage first. However, when she was evicted at the Final 8 after deciding against using it, she gave the advantage to her close ally NinjaPenguin.

## Impact on the Game

The advantage had no impact on the game once it was officially in play. Week 5 was the Top 7, and the advantage was specifically disallowed to be used during this Double Eviction Week to prevent anyone from skating by such a risky week by advantage. But, when Mariano11887 quit due to health reasons during this week, this meant the following week would be the Final 4. The advantage was deemed too powerful to be played so late in the game, and ultimately was never able to see play.
Spotlight

Of course, this is a game of Big Brother so I'm sure you can guess that something is going to happen with these duos, and if so, you'd be correct. Until I say otherwise, from now on, your conversations with the duo partner listed above, either in 1-on-1 conversation or in alliance chats, need to be public to the rest of the houseguests. - NinjaPenguin, BB8

***The Spotlight*** is a twist introduced in BB8.

## Details

The Spotlight is a twist that forced people to talk outside their immediate circles. In an All-Star season, pre-made relationships are everywhere, and the Spotlight was designed to force people to make new connections by banning them from participating in private alliance discussions with one of their allies. It ended on week 3, with 10 players still left in the game.

## Effects on the Game

The effects of the Spotlight were not fully as intended, as many simply waited out the restrictions to work with their duo partner. Other duos were not the best matches for one another (the twist was watered-down once the cast size was decreased) and so the twist was unable to live up to its full potential.

## Player Reception

The Spotlight received a mostly negative reception from the players. Though the idea of preventing pre-made alliances from repeating their past dominance was praised, the Spotlight was seen as an inefficient way to accomplish this, not banning allies from working together long enough to force people to make meaningful changes to their games. Because of this, some believed that the Spotlight should have more actively separated pre-made duos, perhaps by giving them incentives to eliminate the other player in the duo. Additionally, some of the pairings, particularly the duos of Lorde and Brave Vesperia and Ephemera and Hermes, were criticized for not being true pre-made duos, thus making separating those players less important than separating other pairs.

An interesting exception to this was the duo of Violet and Lily, as Violet used the Spotlight to publicly announce a threat towards mirdo to accomplish her plan during Week 2. She used this chance to make future jokes both in-house and after her eviction stating people were cowards for not using the Spotlight in a way that would influence anyone's game, as most houseguests believed it was too risky to discuss the game publicly with their partner.
Run 3

***Run 3***is a flash game competition in BB3, BB5, and BB7.

## Concept and Rules

In Run 3, players play as an alien traversing the cosmos, using the space bar and arrow to keys to move and jump as needed.

## Winning Placements

In BB3, Lorde barely edged out NP with a score of 3,690 to his 3,625. She removed her close ally, Violet from the block.

In BB5, Hermes beat out the next highest score by a few hundred points, finishing with 7,282 meters.

In BB7, Flour after re-entering the house, won out with help from Celever's negative reputation with 3,248 meters total.
Flappy Bird

***Flappy Bird*** is a flash game competition in BB2, BB3, BB5, BB6, BB7 and BB10.

## Concept and Rules

In Flappy Bird, houseguests played as a bird, clicking to jump in between green pipes. Players tried to jump between as many pipes as they could before they eventually died.

## Winning Placements

In BB2, this competition was used as the Battle of the Block competition, with Quaking + Blakers vs. LC and Muffin. In the end, Blakers was the only player to submit anything, submitting a score of 25, and he was able to remove himself from the block. Quaking received his third warning and was modkilled, Muffin decided to drop at this point, and LC received his first warning.

In BB3, Violet won this with a score of 70 points, removing herself from the block in the process.

In BB5, Hermes shattered previous records with a massive score of 126 points.

In BB6, FK won Part 2 of the HOH competition with a measly 8 points, the lowest winning score so far.

In BB7, Flour won this competition with 50 points total, winning the Volatile POV and saving himself.

In BB10, Almonds won the competition with 29 points, winning the POV competition on top of his power as Chieftain! In addition, Mora survived his duel against Vom, winning with 110 points.
BACTV

***BACTV*** is a minor alliance formed in BB9.

## Members

 **Jury**

 **Evicted**

 **Jury**

 **Jury**

 **Jury**

## Formation

The alliance formed at the dissolution of the ModSquad, with Vom and Turtwig pulling in previous outsiders and middle players to work against Mora and Scattered.

## Notable Moves

The alliance lacked any collective big moves, as it was simply a pact to get rid of Mora and Scattered. The group got picked off one by one, as they failed to win HOH competitions, and no moves were ever made.

## Success

BACTV had little to no success, as Brave and Cheez were the first two evictions after the founding of the alliance. Vom and Turtwig also decided they preferred using individual chats with each one of the members, and the alliance as a unit never fully cemented itself or became that big of a deal. Although Nola was evicted after Brave and Cheez, the last 3 (which later formed the Fight Club alliance) were then picked off one by one.
How Bad Do You Want It?

***How Bad Do You Want It?*** is a forum game competition in BB12.

## Concept and Rules

In How Bad Do You Want It?, houseguests were presented with punishments from Big Brother. They would each say how much of that punishment they'd be willing to endure. Everyone would have to endure the punishment they said they were willing to take with each prompt, but the lowest punishment amount each round would be eliminated from the competition. The houseguest who outlives the rest by avoiding taking the lowest punishments will win the competition!

## Winning Placements

In BB12, Flour won the competition by promising to be a Have-Not, and putting his vote behind a task for the rest of the season, as well as throwing the next 4 HOH competitions and the next 3 POVs, becoming the new Head of Household.
Nebby Baggington

*Haha, I finally have a break from famil- oh wait the HOH was announced... and ended.... and it was Tetris, the one thing I'm good at in life. - Nebby Baggington, BB3*

 **Veto Wins** | 0

***Nebby Baggington***was a houseguest on BB3.

## Big Brother 3: Out of the Box

In BB3, Nebby found himself consistently on the outs of the game. He skated by a few weeks, only being nominated a couple of times, but eventually fell to being modkilled.
Nyan Cat Lost in Space

***Nyan Cat Lost in Space***is a flash game competition in BB10.

## Concept and Rules

In Nyan Cat Lost in Space, houseguests had to navigate pathways throughout outer space while collecting milk, donuts, and other tasty treats, and avoiding enemies that could end their run to earn points. The houseguest with the most points at the end would win the competition!

## Winning Placements

In BB10, Quaking edged out the rest of the competition, becoming the new Head of Household! Almonds was named the Chieftain for the week.
Cheezee ween

***cheezee ween*** was a houseguest on BB9 and BB16.

## Big Brother 9: Arcade

In BB9, Cheez took a very laid-back approach and tried to play his game as cool as possible. Though reasonably active, Cheez did not make very many connections, and spent most of his time focusing on competitions. He did make a connection with Vom and Turtwig, and ultimately decided to work with the two of them for most of the game. Because of this, Cheez became a target for Mora and Scattered down the road, as he would be in opposition to the duo. Turtwig played the Blue Button advantage to try and save him on week 5, but after Cheez failed the task, he was officially evicted and became the first member of the jury.

Leap of Faith

*Because the funny thing is... You're not playing in this Reaper competition. Instead, one of your fellow victims will be playing **for** you! Welcome to the Leap of Faith!* - The Hostess

***Leap of Faith*** is a twist introduced in BB4.

## Details

Leap of Faith began in Week 3, where it was revealed all available houseguests (excluding any houseguest with warnings preventing them from playing or the Grand Reaper of the previous week) would pick another houseguest who would play in the week's competitions for them, and give them their competition scores as if they were their own. Any score ties were broken by the houseguests' personal scores, rather than those of the houseguest their faith was put in.

At the end of Week 3, a list of who put their faith in who was revealed publicly to the thread, exposing certain players and their strategies. At that point, the twist had then ended, and houseguests returned to using their personal scores for all subsequent competitions.

## Effects on the Game

This twist dramatically changed competition results and strategizing for an entire week. Houseguests who were skilled at competitions had to consider who their score was going towards and whether it was useful or not to throw a competition, while it evened the game, giving players less skilled at competitions opportunities to control the game. In the end, even though players had still utilized the scores of other players, every competition result had been decided by personal scores, giving the competitions an only somewhat reversed feel. However, certain houseguests were still denied wins after reaching the highest score out of the entire house, most notably NinjaPenguin, whose score allowed Blakers and Hermes to fight for the first victory of the week in Poom!.

## Player Reception

Leap of Faith was something that different houseguests strategized with in different ways. Some opted to put their trust in their allies, and some opted to have their capable enemies play for them. While the twist was one of the most enjoyable (and rather harmless) twists of the season, it definitely had some influence on each player socially. However, this was much less of an influence than expected, especially after the final reveal at the end of the week.

The Estoc of Faith was a planned method to channel the twist to be able to harness its power without drawbacks for a single houseguest, however the advantage was never received, and was publicly destroyed after no houseguest had met the criteria to obtain the advantage. This only resulted in a rather humourous quote from TOTAL\_EPICNESS.
Judgement Day

***Judgement Day*** is a forum game competition in BB15.

## Concept and Rules

In Judgement Day, houseguests would send in words and receive the answer as to whether or not the word was 'Heavenly' or 'Infernal', gaining 1 point for every guess. Solving the rule as to what made words Heavenly or Infernal would also cost 3 points per guess. The houseguest that guessed the rule as to what made words Heavenly or Infernal with the fewest amount of points would win the competition.

## Winning Placements

In BB15, Almonds guessed the answer correctly with 9 points, becoming the new HOH.
Naginata of Suspension

*You're dead, my friend. You got impaled. Just a heads up, don't tell anyone about this just yet since I'm going to make a post about it when the week starts. However, don't stay out of the game. We still have jury and all that good stuff. - Violet, to TE*

The ***Naginata of Suspension*** is an advantage in BB4.

## Details

#### Usage

The Naginata of Suspension is forcibly used at the end of a week, and its effects carry over until the end of the following week. It can only be used once.

#### Effect

The Naginata of Suspension allows the given player to take a complete week off from the game, prohibiting them from playing in competitions, being nominated, voting, or being evicted. It also forces the next possible competition to become The Murder Trial.

However, usage of the advantage will become public knowledge. If any other houseguest is told about the advantage's existence, the houseguest originally given the advantage will be immediately killed and removed from the game.

#### Ownership

This advantage was earned by TOTAL\_EPICNESS at the End of Week Two by searching the ceremony room and initiating conversation about an advantage. Through a small discussion roleplay scenario, TE was "killed" and found dead at the beginning of the following week. It was later revealed that this was under the influence of an advantage, and he would be brought back into the game at the end of the week. It was never given to another player or lost until it was used.

## Impact on the Game

The Naginata of Suspension is easily the most influential advantage in the entire game. Once the house became aware of how a player had died from the End of Week mechanic, their opinions immediately became split and the whole house became more cautious over the mechanic. To the players' knowledge, this confirmed that death through End of Week was possible and to stay on guard.

The Naginata forced the Murder Trial competition, immediately throwing houseguests into a deadly scenario where their alliance chats were locked and they were forced to pin blame on each other, shaking up the entire game socially in a massive way and hinting at the existence for other competitions where alliance chats become locked, being the Axe of Despair competition, and the entirety of Week 8.

The final reveal of the Naginata at the end of Week 4 is one of the biggest twists present in the game and showed the entire game that they were completely unsafe and couldn't predict the game easily, putting every houseguest at a sense of unease for the rest of the game. This also influenced the Estoc of Faith advantage, as no player had met the criteria to earn the advantage through End of Week.
Cameroonn

**Veto Wins** | 0

***Cameroonn*** was a houseguest on BB11.

## Gameplay Personality

I see no one had anything to say, so we rest our case. - Cameron, BB11
## Big Brother 11: Shadowed Forest

Despite starting out in an unique position with his duo partner being his cousin, Cameron didn’t do much without Jalemi’s prompt. He started conversations with other players only when she said he should, and didn’t say much even then. When his duo pair found themselves on the block week 1, they blew up on the HOHs, and that action led them out the door shortly after.
Guesspionage

***Guesspionage*** is a forum game competition in BB16.

## Concept and Rules

In Guesspionage, houseguests were tasked with determining what percentage of people fell into various categories through a variety of questions. The closer their guesses for certain categories, the more points they would earn. The houseguest with the most points at the end of the competition would be declared the winner.

## Winning Placements

In BB16, Graylie won the competition with 85 points after a tiebreaker with Vari, becoming the new HOH.
Multitask 2

***Multitask 2*** is a flash game competition in BB4, BB5, and BB8.

## Concept and Rules

In Multitask 2, houseguests had to keep track of multiple different tasks in different parts of the window, using different keys to control different tasks. If one of these tasks failed, the game would end.

## Winning Placements

In BB4, despite attempting to throw the competition, NP managed to win for the second time that week with 63. Due to Nyan being modkilled at the end of this competition, he was forced to name LC as a pawn.

In BB5, NP successfully defended his title with a huge 115, barely edging out TE and Hermes in this critical competition.

In BB8, Lorde smashed the competition, and broke NP's record with a score of 119 points, winning Part 1 of the Final HOH!
