Dominique Terry

**Dominique Terry** is the runner-up of *Big Brother 3 (US)*. She later returned on *Big Brother 7 (US)*.

Dominique was on the dominant side of the house right away. Her ally, Leo Lin, became the HOH and she had a lot of say in who he nominated, even suggesting nominating Aaron Herrena as a pawn against Leo's target. Dominique also formed a close bond with Geffery Cheney, even forming a final two with him from the very beginning. When Dominique was placed on the block during the third week of the game by Emma Maloney, Dominique knew that she had to win a competition, winning the Power of Veto and saving herself from the block. She later competed in the first ever luxury competition and won the Diamond Power of Veto, where she could use the veto at any given eviction, saving one person from the block and naming the replacement, instead of having the Head of Household make the decision like they usually do. Dominique kept this close to her, not letting anyone know of her power. Dominique later was put on the bottom of several votes when Naomi Rooney kept lying to her, leading to Dominique pulling off a high-profile blindside on her to be evicted. Dominique later used the Diamond Power of Veto at the final eight when she placed on the block by Emma Maloney yet again and was scared of leaving, and she named Scott Hayes the replacement because they never really got along. She failed, and the two later had a long-lived rivalry to the end of the season. Dominique later became a competition beast, winning many competitions until the end. She made it to the final two, winning both the final four POV and final HOH. However, many houseguests were bitter toward Dominique, and felt like her final two, Geffery Cheney, had a more well-rounded game. This led to Dominique losing the game in a 4-3 vote.

Returning for *Big Brother 7*, Dominique had trouble deciding what she should do when it comes to her strategy. She originally decided to make amends with Scott Hayes and Xavier Folkestad from her original season. She then bonded with the other runners-up from previous seasons and joined an alliance with those three. When a Winners vs Runners-up war commenced, the Runners-up had the upper hand. However, when they were left out of the majority vote, Dominique was an automatic target. She was able to avoid being a nominee from other people saving her. However, her social game was very much lacking, as she relied too much on her competition ability to help her throughout the game like her previous season. When she was nominated during the sixth week and survived, she didn't have a solid read on what the house wanted. She worked with players like Jodi Hillman and Omar Nair after she won her first HOH but didn't listen to their advice when she put up Nathan McBride as a pawn against her target Xavier. Jodi and Omar wanted someone else out from the other side, but Dominique was hellbent on getting Xavier out after his shady ways showed once again. While she was successful, she was later nominated and evicted by the other side of the house, as well as Omar with his poor reads, due to that decision, becoming the fifth member of the jury.
