Megan Dean

## Season History

**Megan Dean** *(she/her)* is the winner of DeSales Big Brother 2. She also returned to conduct exit interviews during DeSales Big Brother: All-Stars.

Megan entered the house as a Big Brother superfan. She was included in the nine-person alliance created on Day 1, which helped break the ice for making alliances. Megan's reserved demeanor almost made her a target during Week 1 when HOH Jordan Frantz became suspicious of her; however, the target remained on Nicole Lawrie instead. Megan soon leveraged her close bonds with key players to gain alliances: she used her connection with Bobby Rice to be included in the Quad Squad, and her friendship with PJ Moran got her into the PMS alliance. Throughout the middle stage of the game, Megan flawlessly played double agent between these two alliances, neither of which knew about the other. She nearly risked her positioning when she blindsided and evicted Josh Schwirtz, turning their mutual ally Sam Eroh against her. However, Megan's safety was ensured by her strong bonds with PJ, Moriah Wilt, and Kylie Menow, all of whom were unwaveringly loyal to her. Megan won the final Power of Veto and the final HOH, allowing her to evict Sam and Kylie, and landing her in the final two. Although her betrayals made some of the jurors bitter, Megan's strategic dominance impressed them enough to grant her the win, beating Moriah in a jury vote of 6-1.

Megan is known for receiving the most jury votes of all the winners, and for playing one of the most strategically impressive games of all time.

## Trivia

* Megan is the only winner to have received more than the minimum of 4 jury votes, receiving 6.
* Megan shares the record with Rosie Dunphy for the most times being the final say in evicting someone, with 3 times. She broke the tie to evict Josh Schwirtz, and was the sole vote to evict both Sam Eroh and Kylie Menow.
	+ Lucia Pastor also shares this record of 3 times, but across two seasons.

Kassidy Kimata

## Season History

**Kassidy Kimata** *(she/her)* was a HouseGuest on DeSales Big Brother 3.

Kassidy was a charming player whose carefree attitude kept her off many of the HouseGuests' radars. She and her Dynamic Duo partner Brielle Lewandowski were positioned quite well in the pre-jury phase, as their two opposing alliances-- The Horsemen and B.A.R.K.-- kept them safe with both sides of the house. In Week 5, Kassidy got Brielle on board to turn on the Horsemen and evict Mackenzie Schmidt, due to her competition record. But then, Mackenzie's partner Cas Danubio won HOH and nominated them both. Kassidy felt ready to leave, and even asked the group to evict her over Brielle, but Brielle was seen as the bigger threat and evicted instead. Unable to lean on her teammate for strategy, Kassidy appeared to be a lost player. However, after surviving the Double Eviction, she suddenly turned up-- she won HOH, took out one of the season's biggest threats in Grace Curry, and won the Final 5 POV so that B.A.R.K. could take out Cas. Kassidy remained fully loyal to B.A.R.K., despite knowing that duo partners Rosie Dunphy and Alison Ansorg were clearly taking each other to the final two. Sure enough, Rosie won the final HOH and evicted Kassidy from the house. Kassidy placed 3rd; she was the deciding vote for Alison to win.

## Player History - *DeSales Big Brother 3*

### HOH History

Katelyn Vecchiolli

## Season History

**Katelyn Vecchiolli** *(she/her)* was a HouseGuest on DeSales Big Brother 1.

In Week 1, Katelyn was nominated alongside Ashley Mayers by Head of Household Fiona Spear due to having the least connections with the theatre majors in the house. Katelyn drew HouseGuest Choice and picked her ally, Grace Bowmaster, to play in the Veto competition. Grace went on to win the Power of Veto. However, due to Fiona telling Grace that either Ashley or Katelyn would most likely be evicted even if the Veto was used, Grace decided to appease the HOH and keep nominations the same. The majority of the house saw Ashley as the bigger threat, and so Katelyn survived the eviction by a 9-3 vote.

After surviving the first eviction, Katelyn then became Head of Household after winning the competition, "Paper for Takeoff." However, on Day 9, Katelyn suddenly decided to walk from the game due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts. After Katelyn's self-eviction, the HOH was given to the runner-up of the HOH competition, which was Molly Hofstaedter.

Katelyn's self-eviction would be followed by two other HouseGuests, Sydney Abbott and Megan Castellane, self-evicting soon after. These three self-evictions would lead to the introduction of a new twist, which brought three new HouseGuests entering the game after the second eviction. The three new HouseGuests were Matt Camardo, Alex Austin and Nicole Balistrere.

## Trivia

* Katelyn is the only HouseGuest to walk from the game at a time when she would have been safe (due to being HOH).

Sydney Abbott

## Season History

**Sydney Abbott** *(she/her)* was a HouseGuest on DeSales Big Brother 1.

From the start of the game, Sydney had scheduling conflicts that prevented her from attending meetings. She had enough connections with the other theatre majors in the game to avoid the block Week 1, despite not attending a single Zoom meeting. She voted with the house to evict Ashley Mayers. However, Sydney ultimately decided to walk from the game on Day 9 due to her scheduling conflicts.

Sydney was one of three HouseGuests to self-evict in a 24-hour period-- the others being Katelyn Vecchiolli and Megan Castellane. These three self-evictions would lead to the introduction of a new twist, which brought three new HouseGuests entering the game after the second eviction. The three new HouseGuests were Matt Camardo, Alex Austin and Nicole Balistrere.

## Trivia

* Sydney is one of only two HouseGuests to leave the game without playing a single competition. The other one is Megan Castellane.

## History

On CSW Big Brother, Jaydon Reap won this competition after losing Mary Fader, his closest ally, the week before.

On DeSales Big Brother 1, The competition took place during Backwards Week after the veto meeting, when Izzy Criscuolo and Grace Bowmaster were set as the final nominees. Matt Camardo won this HOH competition, granting him the power of being the sole vote to evict. He chose to evict Grace over Izzy.

In All-Stars, the required body position was altered slightly, moving from a standard plank to a reverse table pose, also known as a "half upward plank". Evan Graham won this competition, securing his safety for the week after having his game blown up before the double eviction. His HOH would go on to be disrupted, however, by the FATE Twist granting Co-Head of Household to Lucia Pastor, his biggest adversary in the game.

The competition returned for DeSales Big Brother 3, this time as Part 1 of the final HOH competition. The pose was the same as it was for All-Stars. This time, Rosie Dunphy was the winner.

Three New HouseGuests

**Three New HouseGuests** is a twist on DeSales Big Brother 1. It is what brought Alex Austin, Matt Camardo and Nicole Balistrere into the house.

## History

A few of the HouseGuests on DeSales Big Brother 1 had major scheduling conflicts that prevented them from attending meetings. On Day 9, Katelyn Vecchiolli abruptly decided to leave the game due to an unexpected change in her schedule. Later that day, Sydney Abbott also self-evicted due to her scheduling conflicts. On Day 10, Megan Castellane also walked from the game for similar reasons.

Because Katelyn was Head of Household when she decided to leave the game, a new HOH had to be named. Molly Hofstaedter was the runner-up in the HOH competition, and thus became the new Head of Household.

With three HouseGuests self-evicting almost simultaneously, the number of HouseGuests was going to drop from 14 to 11 in a single week. Host Matt Johnston knew this was not ideal, and decided to bring in three new HouseGuests to replace them. The HouseGuests were informed during the week that three new HouseGuests would enter the house after the eviction.

On Day 15, Alex Austin, Matt Camardo and Nicole Balistrere entered the Big Brother house, unbeknownst to the current HouseGuests. They waited in secret, and watched the vote and eviction of Aaron Green. After Aaron left, the three new HouseGuests revealed themselves. They got to play in the HOH competition, and they also were given a Veto Ticket-- guaranteeing them a spot in the Power of Veto competition that week.

Upon arrival, the three new HouseGuests replaced the three self-evicted HouseGuests on the memory wall. Nicole replaced Katelyn, Alex replaced Sydney, and Matt replaced Megan.

## Trivia

* Of the three new HouseGuests, Alex Austin was the only one to be evicted pre-jury.
* This is the only instance of a twist being implemented in response to unforeseen circumstances during the season.
Aaron Green

## Season History

**Aaron Green** *(he/him)* was a HouseGuest on DeSales Big Brother 1.

Aaron avoided nomination Week 1 thanks to his pre-existing relationships with the other theatre majors. However, he voted in the minority when he voted to evict Katelyn Vecchiolli over Ashley Mayers. In Week 2, Aaron was nominated alongside his closest ally, Sarah Danner, by HOH Molly Hofstaedter due to his absence in the HOH Room. He came close to winning the Power of Veto, but ultimately Emily Barrett won instead and kept nominations the same. Though he had support from Izzy Criscuolo, Eileen Deisemann and Grace Bowmaster to keep him in the house, the Core Four alliance saw Aaron as a bigger threat than Sarah, and swayed the vote to evict him. He was evicted on Day 15 by a vote of 5-3.

Aaron got the chance to return to the game, thanks to the Underworld twist. Aaron was able to win all three competition duels, taking out Ashley, Sarah and Emily consecutively. The final test came down to a vote from the the three Underworld members who lost their duels, between him and the fifth evicted HouseGuest, Grace. Though Sarah was adamant about giving Aaron a second chance, Ashley and Emily saw Grace having a better of chance of making it far. Ultimately, the Underworld committee chose to send Grace back into the house, meaning Aaron was evicted for good.

The first person to land on one of these spaces gets that VIP Pass. The VIP Pass can be used on any turn, before moving, to block out any one space on the board. Each VIP Pass can only be used once.

In Metro Edition, the chessboard is now 9x9 instead of 8x8. There are eight "subway spaces" that can be landed on to teleport to a corresponding subway space on the opposite side of the board. Each of the four subway lines can only be used once.

In the Balance

**In the Balance** is a Power of Veto and Re-Entry competition.

## Rules

Each player starts with seven clothing hangers. The goal is to create a mobile out of the clothing hangers by balancing them on one another in a particular fashion--first by hooking one hanger on each side of the top hanger, and then balancing four more hangers on the sides of those two to create a sort of pyramid of hangers. The players must hold the top hanger very carefully with one hand while placing hangers with the other hand. If the balance is off and one hanger slides onto the opposite side, the player must fix it. The first player to balance all seven clothing hangers will win the competition.

## History

The competition first appeared in Season 1 as a Re-Entry competition in the Underworld. Before getting to their hangers, the players had to complete a preliminary task, which was completing a crossword puzzle of the names of all the current HouseGuests. Once they finished this, they could start working on their mobile. Aaron Green finished this before his opponent, Ashley Mayers, and advanced to the next Underworld face-off.

This competition appeared again on the same season during the Double Eviction, this time as a Power of Veto competition. In this version, the clothing hangers were placed at the end of a 10-foot lane, and the players had to run across their lane and retrieve all of their clothing hangers one at a time. Once they gathered all seven hangers, they could start building the mobile. In a photo finish, Nicole Balistrere just barely beat Molly Hofstaedter to win the Power of Veto.
Denferlion

## Denferlion - Bruseloth

Situé à l'embouchure de la rivière Brusel, **Denferlion** est fondée par les elfes kaennois sous le nom **Bruseloth**. La ville devint la capitale du royaume de Kanonie lors de l'intégration du Pays de Kaen au sein du territoire de Doravie. Lors de l'arrivée des doraviens durant l'Âge Initial, la ville est renommée en hommage au commandant de l'armée doravienne mort au combat Denfer Inispren. Par la suite, la ville de Denferlion fut fortifiée comme les villes du Continent. La ville rend hommage aux origines à la fois elfique et doravienne par de nombreux monuments et bâtiments construits par les elfes kaennois et les doraviens. C'est l'une des villes les plus peuplées du Continent et s'oriente depuis l'Âge Primitif autour du commerce.

Avec l'indépendance du Pays de Kaen lors du Moyen-Âge la ville conserva son nom doravien après 1300 ans de domination doravienne.

### Étymologie

La ville possède deux noms, l'un kaennois et l'autre doravien.

En kaennois la ville se nomme Bruseloth et signifie "les racines de (la rivière) Brusel". Les elfes kaennois croyaient que le courant des rivières allait dans les deux sens, l'un vers la mer qui était visible et l'autre qui remontait vers les terres intérieures et alimentait les prairies d'eau. Dans cette conception, la rivière symbolise un arbre tandis que les plaines et les affluents de la rivière sont les branches et par conséquent le lieu de l'embouchure d'une rivière symbolise les racines.

Le nom doravien de la ville est moins poétique et symbolise la victoire doravienne sur les kaennois. Denferlion signifie "la ville de Denfer" en hommage à Denfer Inispren qui mourut en commandant l'armée doravienne contre les kaennois.

Mixed Emojis

**Mixed Emojis** is a recurring Head of Household and Power of Veto competition.

## Rules

In each round, the players are asked a question about the formation of the icons they are about to see (e.g. "which icon appears 4 in a row?" or, "which icon appears exactly twice?"). Then, a grid of icons will appear. The goal is to scan the grid, figure out which icon answers the question, and buzz in as quickly as possible. If the person who buzzed in first is correct, they advance and their opponent is eliminated. If they are incorrect, they are eliminated and their opponent advances. The last HouseGuest standing wins HOH or POV.

## History

The competition first appeared in Season 1. Here, this competition was played tournament-style, with the bracket being chosen randomly. Nicole Balistrere beat out Dillon Parish in the first round, Grace Bowmaster in the second round, and Molly Hofstaedter in the final round to win Head of Household.

In Season 2, this format changed to being played knockout-style. Two HouseGuests were chosen randomly to face off first. The loser of the round will be eliminated, and the winner will stay and choose the next two people to face off. This continues until only one HouseGuest remains, making them the new HOH. In the final round, Sam Eroh beat out PJ Moran to become the new HOH.

In Season 3, the format changed again. This time, everyone participated in every round, with the goal being to earn points by figuring out the answer faster than the other players. Whoever buzzed in first with the correct answer would earn 5 points, whoever buzzed in second would earn 3 points, and whoever buzzed in third would earn 2 points. Anyone who got the question wrong would earn zero points for that round. After 8 rounds, Kassidy Kimata and Mackenzie Schmidt were tied for the most points, and went to a tiebreaker round. Mackenzie buzzed in first with the correct answer, making her the winner of the Power of Veto.

* Casting the season.
* Handling all logistics such as scheduling meeting times, securing a location (if in-person), etc.

Eileen Deisemann

* All-Stars
* Season 1

## Season History

**Eileen Deisemann** *(she/her)* is the winner of DeSales Big Brother 1. She also conducted exit interviews during DeSales Big Brother 2, and later competed on DeSales Big Brother: All-Stars.

In Season 1, Eileen was known for coming to the HOH Room nearly every night without fail, for most of the season. In the early game, she formed strong individual bonds with HouseGuests such as Molly Hofstaedter, Grace Bowmaster, and Nicole Balistrere, all of whom considered Eileen their closest ally. Her constant presence in the HOH Room kept her in the loop on nearly all game conversations, granting her a comprehensive knowledge of where everyone stood in the house. She also nurtured decent relationships with players on the other side such as Izzy Criscuolo and Matt Camardo, despite not having an alliance with them. In Week 6, Eileen invited Sammi Stec to join her alliance with Molly to form the Final Three Girls, a trio that would control nearly every eviction for the rest of the season. Despite being nominated in Week 9 by Izzy, Eileen's bonds with Molly, Sammi, Grace and Nicole ensured that no matter who went up next to her, that she would have the votes locked to survive the eviction-- and she did. The Final Three Girls ultimately were successful in making to the final three, and Eileen won the final HOH, allowing her to evict Sammi and bring Molly to the final two with her. Eileen's social and strategic dominance impressed the jury enough to grant her the win, beating Molly in a jury vote of 4-3.

In All-Stars, Eileen entered the house as an immediate threat. She had many potential allies as all of the Final Three Girls were present, along with Nicole, Bobby Rice, Gabby Kmetz, and Emily Barrett-- all good friends of Eileen. Unfortunately, in Week 1, Eileen's schedule suddenly changed, making her unable to participate in the season fully. As a result, she asked Molly, the HOH, to nominate her so that she could be evicted. Molly complied, and Eileen was evicted first by a unanimous 10-0 vote. She placed 13th.

Despite what happened on All-Stars, Eileen is regarded as one of the all-time great DeSales Big Brother players, due to her strategic capabilities and her social game that has yet to be matched since her performance on Season 1.

## Trivia

* As the winner of DeSales Big Brother 1, Eileen is the first winner to...
	+ ...be crowned virtually rather than in-person.
	+ ...win more than $50 in prize money.
* During Backwards Week on Season 1, Eileen was the only HouseGuest to have neither of the people she voted for end up on the block.
Cas Danubio

## Season History

**CaSandra Kay Danubio** *(she/her)* was a HouseGuest on DeSales Big Brother 3.

Cas entered the house as a Big Brother superfan. In the pre-jury phase of the game, she was positioned incredibly well, having separate alliances with three of the other duos that gave her and her partner, Mackenzie Schmidt, a great deal of social capital. However, due to Mackenzie's constant comp wins, most of their allies were either evicted by people trying to take out Mackenzie (Abby Ruger and Giovanni Marini), or later turned on them and voted Mackenzie out (Brielle Lewandowski and Kassidy Kimata). Following Mackenzie's eviction in Week 5, only Jamir Fisher and Grace Curry remained as Cas's allies. Combining an already adept social game with competition wins, Cas was able to survive until the Final 5, at which point the opposing B.A.R.K. alliance finally got her on the block next to Jamir. Cas fought hard to convince Kassidy to use the POV on her and turn on Alison Ansorg and Rosie Dunphy, and almost succeeded; however, Kassidy ultimately stayed loyal and kept noms the same. Cas was evicted 2-0, placing 5th and becoming the fifth member of the jury. She voted for Rosie to win.

Foggy Memory

**Foggy Memory** is a recurring Head of Household competition. It has appeared in every season so far. It often takes place during double evictions.

## Rules

The HouseGuests are asked a series of questions. Each question tests the HouseGuests' memory of various events that took place earlier in the season. The specific criteria for the questions varies by season. The HouseGuests answer with one of two options (true/false, more/less, before/after, etc.) Each correct answer is worth one point. The person with the most points at the end wins Head of Household.

## History

The competition first appeared in CSW Big Brother during the Double Eviction. In "AB Exams," the first half of the competition asked multiple choice questions (A, B or C) about things the evicted HouseGuests did. The second half asked true/false questions about various events that took place. Lucia Pastor was the only HouseGuest to get a perfect score, making her the Head of Household.

The competition appeared in DeSales Big Brother 1 as "Before and After." In this version, each question listed two events from the season, and the HouseGuests had to determine whether the first event happened before or after the second event. Eileen Deisemann got the most points, winning the final four Head of Household.

In DeSales Big Brother 2, the competition was called "Number Crunchers." This time, the HouseGuests were asked a question to which the answer was a number, and had to guess whether the correct answer was more or less than the number given. PJ Moran was the winner.

"Before and After" reappeared in DeSales Big Brother: All-Stars, with the same format as it appeared on Season 1. This time, Lucia Pastor was the winner.

Yet another version of this competition was introduced in DeSales Big Brother 3, called "Superhero Headlines." Here, the HouseGuests were read a series of news headlines about the season, and had to determine whether the headline was real or fake. In the tiebreaking round, Grace Curry beat out Kassidy Kimata to win HOH.

## Trivia

### Other Names/Variations

Pipeline Panic
Picture Perfect

**Mural Sprint** is a recurring Power of Veto and Head of Household competition. It is often (but not always) used during double evictions.

## Rules

Each HouseGuest has a 10-foot long lane. At the end of that lane is a set of puzzle pieces. On GO, the players must run back and forth across their lane to retrieve each puzzle piece, one at a time. Once all of the pieces have been brought back, the goal is to put the pieces together to match an image that was shown prior to the competition. The first person to correctly complete the puzzle wins HOH or POV.

## History

The competition first appeared during the Season 2 Double Eviction. Sam Eroh was the first to complete her puzzle, winning her the Power of Veto.

The competition returned for All-Stars, first as an HOH competition. "Pipeline Panic" was unique in that the puzzle pieces had to be arranged in any fashion that allowed all of the pipes to connect without a break anywhere in the puzzle. The players only had one shot to submit their puzzle. Evan Graham and Lucia Pastor were the only two to get the puzzle correct-- Evan was the first to submit, making Evan the winner of the HOH.

The competition appeared again later in the season, during the second Double Eviction. This time, the rules were more similar to how the competition appeared on Season 2. This time, Lucia took home the Veto.

## Trivia

* Interestingly, this competition has never been won by a Theatre major.

### Other Names/Variations

Scales of Just-Us
Mind Reading: the Sequel

**Jury Statements** is a recurring Head of Household competition. It has appeared exclusively as Part 3 of the final HOH competition. Thus, it is used to determine who the final HOH of the season is, securing them a spot in the final two.

## Rules

The HouseGuests are asked a series of questions about the Jury. Typically each question is to finish off an open-ended statement made by one of the jurors. The HouseGuests answer either "A", or "B" for one of two possible endings. If they are right, they receive a point. This continues for all the jurors; the HouseGuest with the most points wins the final HOH of the season.

## History

The competition first appeared in CSW Big Brother. Each of the first six jurors provided a question. Evan Graham got the most questions correct, making him the final HOH of the season.

The competition returned for DeSales Big Brother 1; it worked exactly the same as before. This time, Eileen Deisemann was the winner.

After a two-season hiatus, the competition returned for DeSales Big Brother 3. This version included pre-jury HouseGuests as well as the jurors. Rather than recording a video, each person would stand behind the players and, when prompted, reveal which of the two answers was their true opinion. Rosie Dunphy won the tiebreaker over Alison Ansorg to win the final HOH.
