NOBS Big Brother 3

***NOBS Big Brother 3***  (Also known as **Big Brother: Tricky Targets**) is the third season of **NOBS Big Brother**. It began on December 2nd, 2023 ended on December 24th, 2023. After 23 Days, Joey Gray Baird was crowned the winner over Melon Show & Ulysses Fuentes in a 5-4 vote. Joey Gray was lauded for his ability to play a strong social yet cutthroat game as he got all the way to the end with a target on his back, However he was criticized for trying too hard and coming off as robotic. Melon & Ulysses were in turn heavily criticized for some of the laughable decisions they made throughout the season but got some praise for somehow making it to the end and received some of their jury votes as a joke. On Finale Night, Paris Hall was awarded America's Favorite Houseguest.

## Background

NOBS Big Brother 3 was revealed on November 27th, 2023. It was teased as the biggest season yet and said it would feature two main twists and two big surprises.

### Twists

* **Tricky Targets:** The main twist of the season. After the first Head of Household competition, every houseguest was given a target. They had 8 evictions to get this target out or something very unfortunate would happen to them.
* **It Comes In Twos:** The second twist of the season, Big Brother unleashed three things on the house Week 1, All 3 things come in two.
	+ The First was two returning players (Kelsey Ana and Marcia Queen) who both got second boot on their season.
	+ The Second was that two Houseguests would win the first Head of Household competition and be the Co-HoHs for the week
	+ The Third was that the bottom two performers in the first Head of Household (Melon Show & Ulysses Fuentes) would be forced to play the game as one player for the rest of the season.
* **Flack-Tivity Competition:** For the first three weeks An opportunity to play for a power will arise, you may only compete in one of these 3 weeks but the choice is up to you on which one. You will not know who won each Flack-Tivity Competition, only the people who played. After each competition the winner will be notified privately of their prize. You will not know the prize only the name of the prize, If you do not compete in the first 2 Flacktivity Competition's you will play in the third one by default.
	+ **High Or Low?** This power must be played on one of the first six evictions (16th-11th) If you do not feel safe with the HoH, before nominations you must play this power. You will then play a game of High/Low in front of the entire house (So if random picks 6 you will say if the next number is higher or lower than 6 out of 10) You will play until you get one wrong, however many you get correct is how many players (including yourself) you may give immunity to. (Max is 5 players). Won by Melon & Ulysses
	+ **Double Dose** - At any of the next 5 POV Ceremonies (15th-11th) you may Double Dose the POV. After the veto been used and a renomination has been named, you can activate this power and it can be used again. Won by Lem
	+ **Pick Up The Slack** You may take any players target (including your own) and assign it to another play, thus eliminating yours or theirs need to target a player and instead make it harder for someone else to get their target out. As you do not know what happens if you dont get your target out this is a big power. Won by James
* **Treacherous Twosomes:** After opening the Opolis Rig Room, Lem unleashed this twist which unleashed the House into duos for three weeks. The HoH Winner's partner would become the *Twosome HoH* and would control one nominee. The HoH would pick the renom if either nominee came off. If the Twosome HoH's nominee came off the block they would be dethroned and could be renominated.
