Big Brother 3

**Big Brother 3** is the 3rd season of *PM Big Brother*.

Nathaniel Hughes defeated his secret pair Derek Salazar in a 6-1 vote. However, being that the pair reached the final 2 together, Nathaniel won 1 million dollars.

## Background

### Development

It was officially confirmed after the Big Brother 2 finale. The series will follow the same schedule format as the first two seasons.

### Casting

Fourteen players would return to embark on another season, but this season brings a twist with the casting. There will be seven pairs of secret relationships in the house.

## Twists

* **Secret Partners:** Each houseguest had a secret partner in the game, although the partners each competed as individuals, were nominated as individuals, and were evicted as individuals. The partners in the game had each known each other before entering the house. Initially, each secret pair thought that they were the only secret pair. If both members of a secret pair reached the final two, the game's winner would receive a prize of $1 million, while the runner-up would receive $250,000.
* **Previously Evicted Houseguest:** After the fifth eviction, America voted to give one of the five first evicted houseguests a second chance at the game.
