Big Brother 1

**Big Brother 1** is the first season of the Simlish reality television series *Big Brother*. After 85 days, the Jury crowned Tyson Geoffrey as the winner of the game over Dali Diaz in a 6-1 vote.

## Twists

* **Twin Twist:** HouseGuest Tyson Geoffrey has an identical twin, Thomas Geoffrey. The two guys alternated shifts in the house, secretly switching places throughout the first 3 weeks. They survived the first three evictions playing as Tyson, so both twins entered the game and played as individuals.
* **Battle Back Competition:** The first seven evicted HouseGuests competed against each other for the opportunity to re-enter the house. Jemma ultimately won and re-entered the house as the Battle Back Champion.

## Game History

### Week 1

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto Nominee POV**

 **Post-Veto Nominee1 Vote**

 **Evicted10 Votes**

Wanting to take out the competition from the get-go, Head of Household Tyson targeted Florence and Dallas for finishing second and third in the HoH competition. Once Florence saved herself with the Power of Veto, he named Marjorie as the pawn replacement nominee, feeling threatened by her relationship with Dallas. The house voted out Dallas almost unanimously, spearheaded by the dominant Agents of the Night alliance, for being the far bigger physical threat.

### Week 2

 **HOH**

 **POV**

 **Nominee4 Votes**

 **Post-Veto NomineeEvicted6 Votes**

Already establishing himself as a big character in the house prior to the HoH competition, Tyson did anything but keep a low profile by winning the first HoH. This would leave his twin Thomas in jeopardy of entering the house, once HoH Florence targeted him as revenge for the previous week. An unexpected veto save on Tyson from free agent Damian saw the formations of the The Iron Fist and D.A.D. alliances, which would also lead to cracks in the Agents of the Night alliance. Suspecting Audrey to be aligned with Agents of the Night members (as a result of her close relationship with Gabriele), Florence named her as the replacement and target - thinking she might be an insider on girls alliances. This however, was not true, and she was evicted 6-4 in a shock vote, forming even more cracks in the Agents of the Night alliance.

### Week 3

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto Nominee POV**

 **Post-Veto Nominee3 Votes**

 **Evicted6 Votes**

 **Won Battle Back**

 **Lost Battle Back**

New HoH Yasmin did not want to make too many waves during her first reign, but instead would use it as an opportunity to build relationships in the house. This led to the formation of The Grapevine, which would also lead to the showmance of Dali and Tyson as well as the final 2 alliance between Yasmin and Dali. Tyson would go on to expose the Agents of the Night alliance to Yasmin, although she did not take the bait and instead nominated house outcast Apollo as the target, with AotN Gabriele being named as the pawn. After Gabriele used the veto to save himself, Sage was named the replacement, and survived 6-3 - with Apollo's only friends (Dali, Anna & Damian) agreeing to throw him pity votes.

Following Apollo's eviction, Audrey Brandelton and Dallas Randall faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would advance to the next round, facing Apollo. Audrey won, officially eliminating Dallas from the competition.

### Week 4

 **HOH**

 **POV**

 **Nominee0 Votes**

 **Evicted9 Votes**

 **Won Battle Back**

 **Lost Battle Back**

New dominant alliance The Grapevine continued their reign of terror with the new HoH Tyson winning his second competition. With his twin Thomas entering the house, Tyson would officially discard his former Agents of the Night allies - nominating Gabriele and Dalton with Dalton as the target. When Tyson's showmance Dali won the PoV and refused to use it, Dalton was evicted unanimously as the bigger strategic threat.

Following Dalton's eviction, Apollo Hwang and Audrey Brandelton faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would advance to the next round, facing Dalton. Apollo won, officially eliminating Audrey from the competition.

 **Won Battle Back**

Extending the The Grapevine's reign of terror by a third week, new HoH Dali Diaz would continue to target the remaining Agents of the Night members - nominating Gabriele Romano and Sage Windhurst. Once again, another Grapevine member won the Power of Veto - meaning the veto would be discarded. At this point, houseguests had begun to consider Sage a non-factor, resulting in Gabriele's eviction being the second unanimous vote of the season.

Following Gabriele's eviction, Dalton Prince and Apollo Hwang faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would advance to the next round, facing Gabriele. Apollo won, officially eliminating Dalton from the competition.

 **Won Battle Back**

 **Lost Battle Back**

In the Week 5 Double Eviction, Marjorie would win her first HoH competition, being the first non-Grapevine member to win since Florence in Week 2. She identified Thomas and Tyson Geoffrey as the ringleaders of the dominant alliance, nominating both twins for eviction. Her HoH reign also led to the official formation of The Muses. Thomas managed to save himself with the Power of Veto, therefore Jemma was hastily nominated as a pawn. Incorrectly reading the situation, Marjorie nominated Jemma thinking the house would vote out the obvious threat. However, Damian and the rest of the Grapevine would vote to save their strongest ally, sending Jemma to the Battle Back competition by a vote of 4-3.

Following Jemma's eviction, Gabriele Romano and Apollo Hwang faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would advance to the next round, facing Jemma. Gabriele won, officially eliminating Apollo from the competition.

### Week 6

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto Nominee POV**

 **Post-Veto Nominee3 Votes**

 **Evicted4 Votes**

 **Won Battle Back**

 **Lost Battle Back**

In the final pre-jury Head of Household competition, Tyson would win his third HoH. With his sights set on Marjorie and Florence, he nominated them both to make sure at least one of them would be evicted that week. With Marjorie managing to win the Power of Veto, The Muses would attempt to get Yasmin to flip her vote, since Thomas and Damian's votes were pretty much locked in, and a tied vote would still guarantee Florence's eviction. Ultimately, they failed, and Florence would be the final pre-jury eviction.

Following Florence's eviction, Jemma Finch and Gabriele Romano faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would advance to the final round, facing Florence. Jemma won, officially eliminating Gabriele from the competition.

### Week 7

 **Re-EnteredPOV**

 **Nominee1 Vote**

 **Evicted5 Votes**

 **Lost Battle Back**

Before the first jury HoH, Florence Wilcox and Jemma Finch faced off in a Battle-Back competition, where the winner would return to the Big Brother House. Jemma won, returning to the house and officially eliminating Florence from the competition.

Yasmin would win HoH once again, not wanting to make waves for a second time but still using this as an opportunity to slide under the radar among big threats. She chose Grapevine defector Anna as an easy target; she had underperformed in most challenges, and was still a member of the opposing alliance The Muses. This also gave Yasmin opportunity to save face with Marjorie, the biggest competition threat of the other side of the house, by not nominating her. A veto win by Grapevine ally and returning houseguest Jemma would seal Anna's fate as the first juror in Big Brother history, evicted by a 5-1 vote.

### Week 8

#### Round 1

 **HOH**

 **POV**

 **Pre-Veto Nominee**

 **Nominee1 Vote**

 **Post-Veto NomineeEvicted4 Votes**

Marjorie would win her second HoH in the 8th week and 9th cycle of gameplay, once again targeting the twins Tyson Tyson and Thomas Geoffrey. However, she would fail to send a twin home for the second time, once Dali used the Power of Veto on her showmance Tyson, opening the door for Thomas to survive the vote against right hand man, replacement nominee and eventual casualty Damian Thornton.

#### Round 2

 **HOHPOV**

 **Nominee0 Votes**

 **Post-Veto NomineeEvicted4 Votes**

Outgoing HoH Marjorie would have little time to celebrate her win, following the sudden Double Eviction announcement and enemy Tyson's subsequent HoH win. She was openly pinned as the main target, and despite her pleas with the girls of the house, all Grapevine members remained loyal, refusing to flip the vote on Sage and unanimously voting out Marjorie following Tyson's PoV win and discard.

### Week 9

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto Nominee POV**

 **Post-Veto Nominee1 Vote**

 **Evicted2 Votes**

The twins would continue to hold power over the house, winning back-to-back competitions. Realising the power of her jury management, they identified Yasmin as the biggest threat, and decided to turn on her at the final 6 instead of taking out Sage , who was by himself and a non-threat in competitions. HoH Thomas made a plan to backdoor her, with alliance outsider Jemma and actual outsider Sage as the initial nominees. With Jemma winning veto, Thomas took the opportunity by trying to convince Dali to evict Yasmin over Sage. This idea would be a foolish one however, as Dali would alert Yasmin of their plan, who would form the Team Too Much alliance with Jemma. The new trio would bind together to vote out Sage, sending him to the jury in 6th place.

### Week 10

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto Nominee POV**

 **Post-Veto Nominee1 Vote**

 **Evicted2 Votes**

When Dali Diaz won the final 5 Head of Household competition, all looked well for the Team Too Much alliance - they had the numbers advantage, and nominating power. With Dali's showmance in mind, the girls agreed to take out Thomas Geoffrey instead of Tyson, because it was Dali's HoH. Thomas' PoV win would throw a huge wrench in their plans, forcing Dali to show her cards. By prioritising her alliance with Tyson over her alliance with Jemma Finch, against her new alliance's wishes, Dali would name Tyson as the replacement only to break the tie to save him. This would anger Yasmin Milton, who would have no other person to turn to the following week other than Dali, who had just betrayed her. Jemma would be sent to the jury house 2-1, placing 5th.

### Week 11

 **HOHPOV**

 **Nominee0 Votes**

 **Evicted1 Vote**

In the semifinal, Yasmin would manage to win both the Head of Household and Power of Veto competitions, finally ensuring that a twin would be going home. However, she would once again be frustrated by her ally's decision, as Dali would opt to send home Thomas over his brother who was a far bigger competition threat.

### Week 12

 **HOH Pt. 2 WinnerHOH Pt. 3 WinnerFinal HOH**

 **Nominee0 Votes**

 **HOH Pt. 1 WinnerEvicted1 Vote**

Tyson would win the final HoH after an intense showdown with Part 1 winner Yasmin. He opted to finally send home Yasmin, as she was not only the far bigger jury threat; but also honouring his showmance and alliance with Dali, he had no reason to keep her.

### Finale

 **Winner  6 Votes**

 **Runner-Up  1 Vote**

The jury had the opportunity to confront the final 2 and ask them questions about their gameplay to help decide the winner of the game. Tyson was grilled for having many advantages and failing to attribute his success to other players such as Yasmin, Dali, and Damian, whereas Dali was accused of failing to establish herself as an individual player and latching to the games of Yasmin and Tyson. Ultimately, the jury voted Tyson the winner by a vote of 6-1, as a result of the social power he held in the house and dominant strategic and physical gameplay. Florence was voted the winner of the §25,000 Fan Favourite prize.
