Big Brother 7

## Series Chronology

***Big Brother 7***, also known as ***Big Brother FFWD***, is the seventh season of Suitman's Big Brother, which premiered on March 10, 2018, and ended with a live reunion on March 22, 2018.

After 14 days, Stuart H. was crowned the winner over Max N. in a 5-4 Jury vote. Stuart's go-hard approach to the game was lauded by most of the Jury, who respected how he managed to balance big strategic power plays with a decent social game. However, some found his early gameplay to be too aggressive and lacking any social nuance. Despite remaining under-the-radar early on, many praised Max for how he elevated his game in the later stages of the season to win the most competitions and keep alive in the game with his social connections. However his somewhat messy strategic moves and decision to completely flip sides garnered significant criticism.

## Production

A seventh season was rumoured during the run of *Big Brother 6*, but was confirmed on February 16, 2018 with the reveal of the *FFWD* theme, and the announcement that it was to be the shortest of any *Suitman's Big Brother* season with two competitions every night. Applications for new houseguests opened on January 7, 2018, and closed over two weeks later on March 3. In total 19 people applied, 7 were cut from the casting, and the remaining 12 went on to become the rookie houseguests competing in the game, alongside 4 veteran houseguests. The full cast of 16 were revealed on March 8, 2018.

Each "week" (a single fast forward night) 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 aiwfwyattroh, manalord and NJKoda1998.

## Twists

* **FFWD:** This season, each cycle took place within one "fast forward" night, featuring both the HOH and POV competitions, along with an eviction every day. Typically reserved for a Double Eviction in standard seasons, this twist significantly shortened the length of the season to just two real weeks.
* **Returning Houseguests:** Four former houseguests from the first four seasons returned to compete for a second time this season, aiming to reverse the mistakes they made the first time that lead to their demise. These four were Robby J. from *Big Brother 1*, Anthony F. from *Big Brother 2*, Stuart H. from *Big Brother 3* and Max N. from *Big Brother 4*.
* **Double Eviction:** It was announced in Weeks 4 and 8 that there would be a Double Eviction on Days 5 and 9, respectively, where there would be two evictions for the week. The method for this differed from past seasons due to the FFWD twist.
	+ **Triple Eviction:** Previously featured in *Big Brother All-Stars*, this variant sees three people placed on the block, with the houseguests then voting to save one of the three nominees, as opposed to voting to evict, ending in two evictions for the week.
	+ **Instant Eviction:** This variant sees a normal week topped-off with an extra HOH competition. The two houseguests nominated are automatically the final nominees, as no POV competition is played, and voting immediately begins, ending in the second eviction of the week.
* **Secret Week:** Returning twist from *Big Brother 6*. During Week 6, the winners of the HOH and POV competitions were not revealed. Their powers remained unchanged, but it was not publicly stated who the power holders were.
