Den of Temptation

**Den of Temptation** (*also known as the **Devil's Den** or **Devil's Den of Temptation***) is the main twist of *Big Brother 2*. For the first three weeks, America will vote for one houseguest to enter the Den of Temptation in order to face a dilemma that could impact their game.

Starting on Sunday, March 9 at 8/7c, the Houseguests will discover the Den of Temptation, a room that holds yet another enticement that, if accepted, will potentially unleash a game-breaking consequence upon the entire house.

Even better, America will get to vote for the Houseguests they want to send into the Den of Temptation, which lets fans influence the game in spectacular *Big Brother* fashion.

"Temptation has always been a part of *Big Brother* but this summer we are testing the Houseguests like never before," said Rich Meehan, Executive Producer, *Big Brother*. "There are so many different paths the game could take this season depending on what the Houseguests choose to do. With so many unknowns, we are excited to see how it all plays out."

## Description

America will vote on which Houseguest they would like to send into the “Den of Temptation” to be enticed by a potentially game-changing offer. But it’s always a game of risk vs. reward, as every temptation will unleash a consequence on the house. The concept mainly includes taking a prize and getting a punishment onto the house, and the voting requirements that once you are voted into the Den once you cannot be voted in another time.

## List of Temptations

* Week 1
* Week 2
* Week 3
**"The Pendant of Protection"**
"The winning Houseguest will be tempted with the Pendant of Protection. If they accept they will be protected from being nominated or evicted for the next three evictions, but remember-every temptation comes with a consequence!" This temptation was won by Layla Summers. She ended up getting nominated by Rowan Austin-Mossle during Week 2, but the Pendant saved her from going on the block, leading Rowan to have to nominate Tanner Knox instead of Layla. The curse was randomly given to Jordan McDonough, where he had to nominate himself as a special third nominee at one of the next three nomination ceremonies or Veto meetings.

**"Ring of Replacement"**
"The winning houseguest will be tempted with the Ring of Replacement, which will give them the power to play in any Veto Competition they want this summer! If they’re not one of the six houseguests playing, they can swap places with one of the three players chosen by random draw. The Ring of Replacement can only be used once, but remember, every temptation comes with a consequence." This temptation was won by Rowan Austin-Mossle. She used it during Week 4 to take Bradley's place in the Veto competition. Rowan selected to give the curse to Bradley, Ashleigh Lyons, and Layla, where they had to dress up as "Ve-toads" (frog costumes) for the week and can only move around by hopping, and can only stand/sit on lily pads placed in every room.

**“Halting Hex”**
The winning houseguest will be tempted with the Halting Hex! Whether on the block or not, they can halt any one of the next four evictions during the live show, making it a non-eviction night. But remember, every temptation comes with a consequence." This temptation was won by Bradley Hernandez. After being nominated by London during Week 5 and remaining on the block alongside Jun on eviction night, Bradley used the temptation to cancel the eviction, saving both him and Jun. The curse was the introduction of the Temptation Competition.
