Big Brother Cheesecake 3: Under the Sea

## Background

The third season of Big Brother Cheesecake started on October 1, 2019. This season marks the first use of a subtitle for the season, which hints at each season's theme. The theme for this season was Under the Sea, with twists and competitions around it.

The season ended on December 24, 2019, with Chantele beating Alvin in a 5-2 vote.

## Twists

* **Sapphire Power of Veto:** Prior to the start of the game, Andrew gave his Facebook friends a chance to earn a spot in the season and the Sapphire Power of Veto by correctly predicting the winner of the 2019 NHL Stanley Cup. Krista earned the power. The holder of this veto can reverse a veto decision.
* **Flipper Power:** Each week, players have the chance to reverse the eviction vote, eliminating the person with the least amount of votes. They can only use this power once in the game, and the power is only effective if a single person decides to use it. In the event 2 or more people attempt to use it, the eviction vote remains as usual, with the most voted nominee being evitced.
* **Double Eviction Week:** This twist had been planned for seasons 1 and 2, but it was discarded due to people quitting the game. This season it finally made an appearance on week 8, where the Head of Household was tasked with nominating four houseguests (as opposed to the usual two), and the two nominees with the highest amount of votes to evict would be eliminated from the game.
	+ **Topaz Power of Veto:** This special Power of Veto is used during the Double Eviction week. The winner of this veto must use it on one of the four nominees, and no replacement is named, leaving three houseguests on the block. This also means that any houseguest that is not nominated before the veto competition is safe for the week, since there is no risk of being backdoored.
* **Bottom of the Sea:** Each week, one or two houseguests would randomly be tempted to swim to the bottom of the sea and open up one of twelve seashells. Five of the seashells had an advantage, seven of them had a punishment. If a tempted player failed to decide on a seashell, they would automatically be given one of the bad ones. If a tempted player refused the temptation, they would still be asked to choose a seashell, which would be taken out of contention.
	+ **Extra Seashells:** Since all players still in the game had already been drawn by week 9, Andrew recycled the remaining seashell prizes (Triple Fast Forward and Diamond Power of Veto), and added two more seashells: a Double Seaweed Tape and a Poo Brown Power of Veto. All seven remaining houseguests were eligible again to be drawn.
