Big Brother Red Lion 5

## Cast

**Big Brother Red Lion 5**, also known as **Big Brother Red Lion 5: Game of Time**, is the fifth season of *Big Brother Red Lion*.

After 71 days, junior high student Mason Treadaway defeated high schooler Blaine Brillhart in a unanimous 7-0 Jury vote, becoming the first BBRL winner to ever play a Perfect Game.

## Background

### Development & Changes Due To Coronavirus Outbreak

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the existence of this season was extremely uncertain, but in August of 2020 it was confirmed for production at a then-unknown date by host Carson Capik. Along with this announcement was the confirmation that the season would be entirely virtual, and take place over Discord, a popular online communication hub, to work with the pandemic's obstacles.

The season then remained in production hell for the rest of 2020 as the pandemic worsened, and then all throughout 2021 due to Carson's inability to recruit players at the school, since he was doing virtual learning.

Finally, in February of 2022, casting for the season began. The twists were revamped, and the length and timeframe of the season were set in stone. Additionally, the Production team was expanded to include Marquise DeVelde and Brayden Dehoff on set. At the time of Season 5's revival, Season 6 was also confirmed for Summer-Fall of the same year. Carson worked with Production to bring a new, clean look to BBRL after its unplanned two-year hiatus, and so new graphics for competitions and house events were used in this season.

The theme of the season, space and time-travel, was inspired by the global situation, since the season's narrative is that it takes place during the future, in a post-COVID world.

### Casting

There are no returnees this season. Originally, BBRL5 was comprised of mostly Seniors, but this changed during the revival. In a first for the series, BBRL5's cast comprises of mostly Juniors in the Red Lion Area Senior High school, but the season's Time Travel theme has caused the casting process to travel in time to bring 3 Middle Schoolers and 2 Seniors to the cast! The BBRL5 group is thus the most age-diverse one yet.

### Schedule

BBRL5 established a new schedule, geared toward the new online nature of the game:

## Twists

* **BB Time Machine:** The BB Time Machine came into play during Week 2, and existed to reward big moves and powerful gameplay.
	+ **Time Travel Tokens:** At the start of each week, from Weeks 2-8, each houseguest still in the game would receive either 50, 75, or 100 Time Travel Tokens (TTT) based on how much gameplay chatting they took part in during the previous week. TTT were used to enter optional competitions throughout the season. The winners of these comps would receive huge powers that came into play during the same week as the comp. Houseguests had to budget their TTT, since each Time Travel competition costed more TTT to enter than the last.
		- **Blast to the Past:** Offered during Week 4, the competition cost 100 TTT to enter, and the winner of this power would travel backwards in time to choose which of the two previously evicted houseguests during the Double Eviction would return to the house immediately and have another chance to win.
		- **Distort the Present:** Offered during Week 6, the competition cost 200 TTT to enter, and the winner of this power would get three game-altering powers to distort to the week. The powers were: choose two houseguests to vote twice, get an advantage in the Power of Veto competition, and stop a nominee from going on the block at the Nomination Ceremony.
		- **Warp to the Future:** Offered during Week 8, the competition cost 400 TTT to enter, and the winner of this power would warp past the upcoming Triple Eviction with full safety, skipping to the Final 5!
* **Fake** **Double Eviction**: During Week 4, two houseguests were evicted in a seemingly normal Double, but one of the two evictees would return to the house moments later. Both evictees were Fake Evicted, until whoever held the Blast to the Past power chose one of them to return.
* **Triple Eviction**: Making its third appearance in the series, and its first in 3 years, the Triple Eviction guarantees to send a whopping three houseguests packing in only one night.
