Head of Household

The **Head of Household** (abbreviated *HOH*) is the position of supreme power and control in the Big Brother House.

## Background

The Head of Household is the contestant that is in charge of the Big Brother House. Each week at least one contestant is chosen by a competition in order to determine the final nominations for the week depending on the country's format. Each contestant is eligible to win the Head of Household multiple times in one season, however, the twist is always finished when the finalists are determined for the season.

## Format

The Head of Household is determined by a competition each week during the live show. The Head of Household is free from the threat of eviction. They receive perks, such as getting their own private bedroom, but they are also faced with the decision of nominating two houseguests for eviction and putting up a replacement nominee when the Power of Veto is used. The previous Head of Household is not eligible to play in the subsequent Head of Household competition, and thus, can not be Head of Household twice in a row(unless the houseguests are down to the final three)

#### Head of Household Competition

Each week, all houseguests, except the outgoing Head of Household, compete in the HOH Competition (the final three is the only time that an outgoing Head of Household can win consecutive HOH competitions [Or if a twist happens and nobody is evicted.].).

## Records

* Most HOH Wins in a Single Season
