Big Brother 9

**Big Brother 9**, also known as ***Big Brother Zepeto*** is the ninth installment in the Big Brother zepeto franchise.

## Background

Big Brother zepeto takes on the exact format of the popular CBS reality show "Big Brother". In this game, a group of strangers *(known as houseguests)* compete for power in weekly Head of Household competitions. The winner names two houseguests as nominees, which could very well face eviction by the end of the week. During an eviction process, all houseguests but the two nominees cast their votes to evict either of the two nominees, the Head of Household only votes in case of a tie. Out of the two, the nominee which receives the most votes will be evicted, leaving the house and being eliminated from the game. However, the nominees and the houseguests will also have a chance to change the nominations in the Power of Veto competition. The winner of this competition holds the Veto, which they may use to save one of the two nominees, or leave them exactly as they were. If it is used, the Head of Household must name a replacement nominee. The group of the last 7-9 evicted houseguests form the Jury, which on the finale night votes for one of the two finalists to win the game.

### Development

Development on Big Brother 9 1 year Big Brother 8. Once again, all production members who'd been working on the previous season would return to work on the new season. After the success of the previous seasons, it was settled that the season would once again follow fourteen brand new houseguests. During the early stages of development, the production decided on featuring a space theme for the season, with the title ultimately being set to be "Space Expedition". The season's houseguests will face off in intergalactic space inspired competitions, where one of them will be evicted from the Big Brother Oddyssey each week. After the applications were open, a promotional roll-out began where the Audience was greeted with multiple "days till take-off" posters featuring a space theme.

## Twist

* **Have-Not Choosing:** After the first Have-Nots were determined through a public vote by the viewers, they then had to pick the new Have-Nots themselves for the following week, and the process repeated every week. They are not allowed to pick any other outgoing Have-Nots, including themselves.
* **System Breach:** For the duration of the season, the vote count of every week's eviction will remain completely anonymous. The twist will end at the final five, where it is practically rendered useless.
* **Split Odyssey Double Eviction:** Two houseguests would win the first Head of Household competition, with each becoming Head of Household for the week. Shortly after the competition concluded, Head of Households TBA and TBA were told that they each must participate in a schoolyard pick to determine which houseguests would be in their group for the week. Each group would do separate nomination ceremonies, Power of Veto competitions and ceremonies, and at the end of the week both groups would vote out one houseguest. After the first week, the groups were disbanded and the game proceeded as usual.
* **Retrograde:** The fifth week started off with the houseguests being told that the Big Brother Oddyssey was going into Retrograde. For the entire week, all events would play out backwards. The week began with a nomination vote, where all houseguests were given 10 nominations points. They would then distribute the points onto any houseguest(s) of their choice. In the end, the two houseguests who received the most points would become the two nominees. A Power of Veto competition would then play out with the two nominees and four houseguests drawn by random, and if the winner decides to save one of the nominees, another vote for the renominee would happen. However, this time, the houseguests would only have 5 points to distribute. The twist culminates with a Head of Household competition in which everyone but the two nominees competes. The winner would be the Head of Household of the week and would cast their sole vote to evict one of the two nominees.
