Big Brother 4

***Big Brother 4*** is the fourth installment of the *JRZ Big Brother* series. This is the first season to feature Returning Players. Six early boots (as well as rivals) were brought back from the first three seasons. This season is tied with *Big Brother 7* as the longest season, concluding after 46 days when Abi beat Tasha in a 7-2 jury vote after dealing with what most people consider the most hostile jury in the history of the series.

This season is polarizing due to players like Abi and Tasha making it so far into the game as well as the spectator lounge being toxic and full of fights.

## Twists/Changes

* **Returning Players** **-** Six rival flops were brought back from the first three seasons to compete against new houseguests
	+ Raven vs. Zak: From *Big Brother 1*, they were adversaries and always against each other.
	+ Greco vs. Justin: From *Big Brother 2*, Justin made The Anti Greco Squad literally dedicated to evicting Greco.
	+ Flutter vs. Miranda: From *Big Brother 3*, both women were just crazy and hated each other.
* **Safety Competition -** The second highest score for HOH would be safe from nominations for the week while the lowest scorer would become an automatic third nominee.
* **Battleback** **-** The jurors competed in Hold the Button to re-enter the game in week 12.

## Game History

### Week 1

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto NomineePOV**

 **Nominee2 Votes**

 **Evicted15 Votes**

The 14 new houseguests entered the house and a few moments later, the flops entered the house to start their second chance. Since they did not perform well in their first game, the targets on their backs were not very large. Shortly after, the houseguests were forced to pick a person that they'd like to vote out based on first impressions only. The majority of the house would have voted out Pory, and so he became the first HOH in surprise twist. Pory nominated the most inactive players in his opinion and those were Hannah and Greco. He would have put up Flutter, but he did not want to make her the first boot again. His target was Greco, since he was a returnee. Greco won the POV, and so he nominated Zak. Zak had spoken to basically no one so it was an easy target for the house to rally behind.

### Week 2

 **HOH**

 **Safety**

 **Pre-Veto NomineePOV**

 **Nominee1 Votes**

 **Post-Veto Nominee5 Votes**

 **Evicted9 Votes**

A new twist was introduced to the game where the second placer in HOH would become safe for the week and the last placer in HOH would become an automatic third nominee. Miranda won HOH and Tasha won safety. There was a tie between Flutter and Mikey for lowest but when Flutter did not submit for the tiebreaker, she became the automatic third nominee. Miranda's original target was Tasha, so since she was unable to target her, she went after the inactives. She nominated Mikey since she placed last and Abi since she was not too active. When Mikey won the POV, Miranda nominated Greco since she felt he was least connected to anyone so no one would be mad at her moving forward. Flutter was evicted in a 9-5-1 vote.

### Week 3

Tucker won HOH and Ryan earned his safety. Jared became the automatic third nominee. It was then announced that it would be a Triple Eviction. Tucker chose to nominate Mikey and Joey to continue with the trend of evicting inactive players. Noah won the POV and agreed to keep nominations the same. The house ultimately decided to save Mikey, the most active of the three players evicting Jared with only 2 votes to save and Joey with only 3 to save.

Pory won his second HOH of the season and Ryan earned his second week of safety. Justin ended up being the third nominee. Tasha, hearing that she was people's replacement nominee, decided to start being more proactive. She exposed Raven as being a double agent and trying to play all of the sides of the house. Pory intended to target her but when she won POV he changed his target to Saish. A majority of people wanted to split up him and Abi and they told Pory that Saish would target him. Saish was evicted 8-4.

Matt won HOH with Ryan being safe for the third week in a row. Greco lost HOH and became the third nominee. Matt had been playing all sides of the house so he chose to make easy nominations with Raven since she had been public enemy number one as well as Mikey who was still a bit inactive. He wanted to target Greco since he was the most active irrelevant player left in the house. The POV competition was the prize competition. Greco won a vote block and Tasha earned a special vote steal advantage. Matt won POV and kept the nominations the same since Ryan promised to have enough votes to keep Raven safe. Ryan in fact did have the votes because Greco was evicted 7-2. Tasha abstained from voting, per her advantage. Greco blocked Rivers from voting but it did not make a difference.

The Safety/Third Nominee twist endws and Pory won his third HOH competition. He decided to nominate Raven since he still believed she was coming after him and Abi as a pawn. Tasha and Raven made up and tried to work together but when Abi won the POV, Pory nominated Tucker in her place. Tasha felt stuck. She decided she needed to use her extra vote advantage to evict Raven, forcing a tie. In the end, Pory voted to evict Raven sending her home in 14th place again.

Hannah sent a screenshot and got herself expelled from the game. Matt was put up as the replacement nominee and was the eviction plan. Ryan won the POV and Pory was chosen as the new nominee.
