Big Brother 13

## Series Chronology

***Big Brother 13***, also known as ***Big Brother Fragmentation***, is the thirteenth season of Suitman's Big Brother, which premiered on September 21, 2019, and ended with a live reunion on October 19, 2019.

After 22 days, Ethan H. was crowned the winner over Newz O. in a 6-3 Jury vote. Ethan's tunnel focus on getting out Evan and early social game was criticized, but he was respected for his challenge prowess and ability to survive all the bullets thrown at him. Although Newz was praised for being able to play under the radar, he was questions for a lack of competition wins and the fact he had to break a number of social connections.

## Production

A thirteenth season was confirmed during the *Big Brother Second Chance* finale on June 15, 2019, with the season to be the last for new houseguests ahead of the series conclusion with *Big Brother Double Trouble* and *Big Brother Endgame*. The season's main twist and subtitle was confirmed as *Fragmentation* on August 22, 2019. Applications for new houseguests opened on September 5, 2019, closing two weeks later on September 18, 2019. In total 30 people applied, 14 were cut from the casting, and the remaining 16 went on to become the houseguests competing in the game. The full cast of 16 was revealed on September 19, 2019.

Each "week" (a cycle of 2-3 days) the houseguests compete for the title of Head of Household. The HOH must take on the responsibility of nominating two houseguests for eviction. The winner of the Power of Veto then has the ability to save one of the two nominees, forcing the HOH to name a replacement nominee, or they may choose not to use it. The final two nominees on the block at the end of each week must then face the votes of all their fellow housemates, excluding the HOH. The person with the most votes is evicted, with the HoH making the final decision in the event of a tie. Once only the final two houseguests remain, a jury of previously evicted houseguests cast their votes to decide the winner of *Big Brother*.

The series remains produced and hosted by SuitMan13, with production assistance once again from NJKoda1998. This is the first season not to feature production from aiwfwyattroh and manalord, who exited after *Second Chance*.

## Twists

* **Fragmentation:** For the first three weeks of the game, the house is split into two separate houses - Alpha and Bravo. Each house plays their own *Big Brother* game with separate HOHs, POVs, nominations, and evictions, resulting in two houseguests being evicted each week (one from each house). After the evictions of Week 3, the two houses will be recombined into a single house for the remainder of the season.
* **Camp Comeback:** Evicted houseguests will continue to live within the house. The evictees will not be able to compete in competitions or vote in evictions, however they will still be able to interact socially with all the other houseguests. At a certain point, the evicted houseguests will compete to return to the game.
* **Emerald Veto:** A special Power of Veto which could be used before the Nomination or Veto Ceremony, rather than after, to immune a player from potential nomination live at that ceremony. It was found by Joe W., and he used it on Day 16 during Week 7.
* **Double Eviction:** It was announced in Weeks 5, 7 and 8 that there would be a Double Eviction on Days 11, 16 and 19, respectively, where a week's worth of competitions and ceremonies would go down in one night, ending in the two evictions for the week.

## Voting History

* **^Note 1** : Evicted houseguests were sent to Camp Comeback to compete for a chance to re-enter the game. After Zee returned in Week 4 on Day 7, Camp Comeback was finished.
* **^Note 2** : As part of the Fragmentation twist, two houseguests from each house would earn the power to vote in the opposing house's eviction, as well as their own house, each week. Each week a special third competition was played, and the winner was given the power to chose a fellow houseguest from their house to share this special power with. No penalty votes are given to houseguests who receive this power and fail to vote.
* **^Note 3** : Due to the 3-3 tie, HOH Evan cast the deciding vote for Zee.
* **^Note 4** : For not voting at the evictions in Week 5, Blake was given a penalty vote for the next eviction in which he was nominated. This came into effect when he was nominated in Week 6.
* **^Note 5** : Due to the 3-3 tie, HOH Joe cast the deciding vote for Billy.
* **^Note 6** : Ethan's original nominees were Joe and Tris, however, Joe played the Emerald Veto and was therefore safe for the week. Ethan nominated Newz in his place.
* **^Note 7** : Due to the 1-1 tie, HOH Evan cast the deciding vote for Chris.
