Beautiful Days

The **Beautiful Days** alliance were a final-two deal from *Big Brother 4*. The alliance was a play on the last names of houseguests Gwen Bright and Carissa Day. Who were very close friends and ally's.

Although playing separate games and having separate alliances throughout Big Brother 4, Gwen and Carissa had a strong bond and were always loyal to each other.

Carissa won her second HOH competition during week six. She formed an alliance with her longtime ally Calem Gates and previously evicted Jade Huang called The Oddballs. The three of them made a final three pact, although Carissa had a very strong relationship with Gwen, who was her true final two. Gwen also formed an alliance this week, with Mark Smart and Lynn Chan called the Undercovers. Carissa told Gwen about the Oddballs but Gwen did not tell Carissa about her secret Undercovers alliance.

In the coming weeks, Gwen would actively work against The Oddballs but did everything she could to keep Carissa out of harms way.
Montana Fetter won her second Head of Household competition in week seven. She had a strategic relationship with Gwen. Gwen urged her to nominate Calem and Jade, as they had been spending a lot of time together. And she feared they would be a strong alliance heading into the final six. Montana agreed and unknowingly took a shot at The Oddballs alliance.

A the final five Carissa was tasked with making a replacement nominee and ultimately had to choose between her friends Calem and Gwen. She ultimately chose to keep Gwen off the block thinking she could convince Gwen to save Calem, but unfortunately for the remainign Oddballs, they had no idea of the Undercovers existence and Calem was sent home.

Gwen won the final four Head of Household and when Mark won the Power of Veto, Carissa's vote was sealed. As Lynn and Mark held a final two deal called the Pool Sharks. Carissa's fate was sealed and the Beautiful Days alliance was broken up.

The Outlaws

**The Outlaws** were a late-game alliance from *Big Brother 7*. Consisting of former winners Mike Caddell and Elizabeth Lloyd as well as Big Brother 6 runner-up Arush Dalal.

The Outlaws would form in week eight of the game, after Mike used the Power of Veto to save Liz. The alliance was short-lived but created in an attempt to oust Carol & Rebecca.

At the final six of the All-Star season, fan favorite Arush Dalal became the new Head of Household for the first time this season. Himself, Mike Caddell and Elizabeth Lloyd agreed that they wanted to blindside Carol Size this week, by nominating her as a "pawn" to get Lynn Chan out of the house, but really vote to evict Carol. At the nomination ceremony, Arush put the plan into motion, nominating Carol Size who had been unnominated up until this point, and season four winner Lynn Chan. The only thing that could throw a wrench in the plan, was Rebecca Church winning the Power of Veto, and at the competition that is exactly what happened. Rebecca held the golden Power of Veto and made it known that she would be using it on Carol this week, giving her and Carol majority in the eviction vote. This left Arush in a very difficult position, ultimately having to choose one of his allies to sacrifice out of the game. After both of the former winners, Mike and Liz, gave their pleads to Arush, he stood up and gave his decision, nominating Liz for eviction and ultimately sending her home in a 2-1 vote.

David Mitchell

David Mitchell, season 2

## **Overview**

David Mitchell was a houseguest on Big Brother 2.

In the beginning, David formed a close relationship with HOH Hunter Pryor, which kept him safe in the first week of the game, but when Nathan Tinsley won the second Head of Household, David was faced with his first adversary in the house. David and Nathan did not get along at all, and Nathan targeted him for eviction in the second week. He narrowly survived in a 5-3 vote. David retaliated in the third week when he won Head of Household and targeted Nathan. But due to the fallout of the Elite Four alliance, David was unsuccessful in his attempt to oust Nathan and was nominated for a second time the following week when Nathan won HOH again. It was this week that the Pact alliance was formed between David, Lauren Mosely, Natasha Taylor and Marcus Frasier, and they were able to influence the vote enough for David to stay in the game unanimously. David lost an ally in Hunter the following week when Kelly Morretz got him out., and he remained safe through week 6 & 7 under the protection of his Pact alliance. In the final five David was nominated by eventual winner Natasha Taylor against fellow ally Lauren Mosely. This was frustrating for him and Lauren as they had a final four agreement with her, but she did not want to nominate Jason Bentley and thus turned on her alliance members. David campaigned hard against Lauren but ultimately could not sway either Marcus or Jason from voting him out, resulting in a 2-0 vote, evicting him in 5th place.

Carol hatched a plan to vote Justin out, and Robert gave her the green light but they compromised that if the vote were to tie, Robert would be able to vote Diane out of the house. Despite having Bethany Ziegler on board, Carol pleaded Liz to vote Justin out but Liz wasn't budging, this made Carol very concerned that her closest ally would be willing to keep a potential threat to her in the house. But Carol didn't know just how close these two were.

Liz's true loyalties became known at the final five, when she nominated Robert and Chris, keeping Justin off of the chopping block.

Hunter won the first Head of Household of Season 2, and used it to create the first alliance of the season, he named it the Elite Four. Hunter set his target on Marcus Frasier for unknown {fan speculation suggests potentially racially motivated} reasons. He nominated Susan Wagner as pawn next to Marcus. David Mitchell told Lauren that he wanted to save Marcus, and she agreed because she felt he was good for her game and also trusted David's judgement as the two of them were very close early on. She voted against the Elite Four. Resulting in a 5-4 eviction vote and Susan's departure from the game. This was the first crack in the notorious alliance's armor.

In the second week of game, The Elite Four's original plan was to vote David out and honor Nathan's wishes, as he kept all four of them safe. But Lauren was able to convince Hunter to vote separately from the alliance in an attempt to save David, resulting in a 5-3 vote count in David's favor.

Following surviving the block, David won Head of Household and targeted Nathan Tinsley for eviction, nominating Evan alongside him as a pawn. The Elite Four was already cracking, but being nominated, Evan fell into a complete spiral. Calling out Hunter at the nomination ceremony, feeling as though for some reason Hunter was in on the nomination because of his vote to save David. This pushed the Elite Four even further into turmoil.

Despite his meltdown, Hunter and Lauren still tried to salvage the alliance in the eviction vote. But to their surprise Kelly had turned on the alliance, feeling as though Evan was a loose cannon and just overall distain for him. This was the officially end to the foursome. The vote ended up in a 4-3 flip, causing Nathan to stay and Evan to go.

Season Sixers

The **Season Sixers** were a final-two alliance from *Big Brother 7*. Consisting of Arush Dalal and Courtney Lane, who were on the previous installment, Big Brother 6, one year prior to All-Stars.

The two Big Brother 6 alumni played a tried to play a low-key game in the beginning portion of All-Stars. In the first week Courtney got into an accident involving the fire place, where she was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital and was almost evacuated from the game but with her injuries named minor she was able to re-enter the house and the game. Elizabeth Lloyd named Courtney the replacement nominee in week one, feeling as though she was a good pawn to put next to Sedric as everyone felt bad for her because of her accident. Although the house had a hard time coming to a consensus of who to evict, Courtney survived in a close 6-5 vote yet again.

Arush and Courtney had a hard time finding their footing in the game. Being the newest additions to the alumni, the Season Sixers constantly found themselves on the block, being the swing vote, or becoming potential targets. But they were able to slide by all the way to the final eight of the season.

In week seven, Carol Size became the Head of Household for the third time this season. Having alliances with nearly everyone in the game, her options were rather limited, working closely with everyone in the house except for former season one best friend Liz, and the season six new-schoolers. Carol set her sights on sending Liz out of the game and gained support from everyone in the house. Mike Caddell however, told Carol and Rebecca that he was all for Liz leaving the house, but secretly wanted Liz to remain in the game as a shield for himself. Carol nominated Liz and Courtney for eviction, feeling as though Courtney would be a good pawn and ensure that Arush voted out Liz. At the Power of Veto competition, Carol's biggest fear happened when Liz won the POV for the second week in a row. She used the POV to remove herself from the block, forcing Carol to make a replacement nominee and choose a new target. With Courtney already on the block, Carol decided to go all in on targeting the Season Sixers, and nominated Arush in Liz' spot. With the Big Brother 6 alumni on the block, the house was once again split on the voting decision. Mike and Liz wanted to vote Courtney out of the game, as she was a stronger competitor than Arush, and Mike had closer ties with him. While Lynn Chan and Lauren Mosely wanted Arush to leave, feeling more threatened by the season six runner-up. At the eviction, the final vote count came out 3-2 for Courtney to leave the game, when Rebecca decided that Courtney was more likely to come after her in the long run.

The Jury

### Description

The holder of the POV can choose to remove one of the HOH's nominees, forcing a replacement nominee to be named..

**The Jury** consists of a group of evicted houseguests that remain in sequester until the Final Two have been determined. The Jury stays privy to house happenings while they consider who they think deserves to win, but secret meetings, Diary Room sessions, and other happenings that do not include the entire group of remaining houseguests are not disclosed. The information they take in from the game they witness and the Jurors who join them in sequester is supposed to help them decide who to vote for to win *Big Brother*. So far in the series, juries have started when eleven players remain, aiming to have nine jurors vote at the end.

## Jury Process

The Jury usually begins near or on the Final 11, nine evictions from the Final Jury Questioning. This depends on when the Jury has been set up to begin, how many players total are in the season, and whether or not there is a post-eviction twist. All Jurors will arrive upon eviction to the Jury House, where they may chat with the other members of the Jury about the game in progress. At the Final Jury Questioning, the finalists will plead the case the Jury, and the jurors will in return ask questions and grill the finalists.

On Finale Night, each juror casts a vote for whom they would like to see be the winner of Big Brother. Each vote is one of the names of the Final Two written on a key, which the juror places in the nomination box. In the same format as a Nomination Ceremony, the keys are removed one at a time, revealing the winner of the season.

Depending on the number of active jurors and the number of finalists, a "back-up" juror is brought in. This special juror, who is always the last person eliminated pre-jury, will vote in case of a tie. However, as they aren't a fully fledged member, they cannot ask questions. They will only be able to view the discussion and make their decision. Their vote will count only in case of a tie.

There can also instances when the number of jurors has reduced due to a quit, an expulsion, or failure to vote for the winner.

Estelle wanted Courtney to be the one evicted, as she feared her and Jocelyn would turn on the Original 6, but the rest of the alliance disagreed. This pushed Courtney and Jocelyn into changing their tune as the alliance was beginning to fracture. The Original 6 was no longer and the foursome within was all that remained.

Courtney became the HOH in week five. Courtney and Jocelyn felt their game with the Original 6 was over, they knew they were on the bottom of the alliance and felt it was time to play their own game. Courtney nominated Ginny as her target, knowing how close she was to Preston, she nominated Estelle knowing her allies Stacy , Arush, and Preston would vote to keep her. Preston had a hard time with this vote, he had his close friend and flirtmance Ginny on one side, but his alliance on the other side expecting him to save Estelle. It was up to him to decide which alliance he wanted to move forward with, and ultimately he sided with Ginny. Voting Estelle out and sending her home in a 4-3 eviction vote. This was the end of both of the alliances.

The Misfits

**The Misfits** were an alliance from *Big Brother 5* consisting of Sedric Quilliams, Rebecca Church and Diego Romano.

In the first week of the game, before the eviction Rebecca and Diego feared the threat of The Trio and CoCo, so they hatched a plan to flip the vote on the twins in an attempt to save Monica, and align with her and Dwayne against the power in the house. They successfully pulled off the move, and the twins were evicted 5-4.

Cole Dristan won his second Head of Household of the season. Cole nominated his target Monica Ziegler against his ally Bobby Jenner who he felt would easily get the votes to stay. After the nominations were final, once again Rebecca and Diego were scheming. They wanted to take the shot at Bobby while he was on the block and take out a trio member, and save Monica a second time as she would be in debt to them. They pulled in Sedric as Rebecca was his best friend in the house, and the Misfits alliance was formed. They then recruited Jia Chan who was virtually alone in the game. What Rebecca and Diego didn't know is that earlier in the week Sedric had made a deal with the trio, and they made him believe he was actually a part of their alliance. Which led Sedric with a choice at the eviction. To draw a line in the sand, or flip on his original alliance with Rebecca. He decided to flip on Rebecca and Diego, sending home Monica and keeping the trio intact heading into the jury phase.

In week eight, Sedric was crowned the new HOH. Playing both sides of the fence, Sedric was in a difficult position as he was forced to either betray The Trio, or the Misfits. He knew Rebecca and Maria Cruz were safe, and he didn't want to get rid of Clarity Mitchell as he was not threatened by her at all. So he decided to nominate the two other boys in the house, Bobby and Diego. Rebecca was confused as to why Diego was on the block, and Sedric was being vague about his reasoning, saying "trust the process". This left Rebecca with more questions then answers. At the Power of Veto competition, Sedric won and held all of the power this week, leaving the nominations the same meant that Diego would be leaving, as he knew Maria and Clarity would vote to save Bobby. Despite Rebecca urging him to backdoor one of Clarity or Maria, he kept the nominations intact, sending Diego to the jury house in a 2-1 vote. Leaving his "alliance" with the trio in the final five, along with his frustrated ally Rebecca.

When Rebecca was unable to save herself in the final five, she was respectfully evicted, following her friend and ally Diego out the door. Both Diego and Rebecca had distain for Sedric, but Rebecca still voted for him to win regardless. He ended up losing to Clarity in the final two by a 4-3 vote. Rebecca and Sedric would both go on to compete on Big Brother 7 All-Stars. where Sedric was evicted first and Rebecca won the entire show.

She was nominated as a pawn at the beginning of the week by Nathan Tinsley, but with majority of the vote leaning towards keeping David in the game, her friends such as Natasha Taylor and Marcus Frasier felt it was best to also vote her out to avoid friction in the house.

Black Widows

The **Black Widows** were a two-person alliance from *Big Brother 8* consisting of Parmona Kapoor and Camerin Goldwing.

The Black Widows was an alliance that formed in week seven of Big Brother 8. Parmona and Camerin had been getting closer over the mid portion of the game and the two women realized they could utilize their connections to the Collision Crew and the Silent Strikers to get further in the game. Camerin cemented her new alliance when she blindsided Marco Alvarado in the week seven eviction, siding with Parmona and ending her relationship to Marco's Angels.

The Black Widows were so effective in the mid portion of the season because of how undercover they were, nobody in the house knew how tight Parmona and Camerin truly were. They were able to individually keep eachother safe under Isaiah and Julian's Head of Household reign.

At the final five, Camerin won her second HOH competition. Her nominations were obvious and she knew what she was doing the second she won, as she had a close relationship with Isaiah and she had the Black Widows alliance with Parmona. She nominated Julian and Audrey with her intentions to send Julian to the jury house because she wanted Parmona exclusively loyal to her, and believed Isaiah would pick her over Audrey. Isaiah won the Power of Veto, and was not taking the same risk he did in week seven, using the Power of Veto to save the Silent Strikers and securing them in the final four. Camerin had no choice but to nominate Parmona as her replacement nominee. Audrey pushed Isaiah hard to evict Parmona, knowing how big of a strategic threat she was and shedding light on how close her and Camerin had become, but Isaiah was too threatened by Julian's three Head of Household wins, believing nobody could beat Julian in the jury and he was a shoe-in to win the game. Audrey and Isaiah agreed it would be smart to vote separately in the hopes that although Isaiah vetoed her, the Silent Strikers would remain anonymous. The vote resulted in a tie and Camerin stood at the head of the living room and cast her vote to evict Julian, bringing her Black Widows alliance with her to the final four.

Camerin would later be blindsided at the final four when Parmona was Head of Household and unable to vote. Isaiah won the Power of Veto and chose to vote to save Audrey, sending Camerin home in a jaw dropping eviction. Camerin voted for Parmona to win Big Brother 8.

 **Evicted**
The Alliance

**The Alliance** was a six-person alliance from *Big Brother*, which officially formed during Robert Jenner's first HOH reign in week two.

The formation of **The Alliance** was lead by Robert Jenner and Carol Size, who recruited close friends Elizabeth Lloyd and Chris Crain to form a unit against the other players in the game. Seeing as this was the first alliance in the show's history, they did not give the group an official name, but simply referred to the faction as **The Alliance** throughout the season. After the formation of the core four, Sherri Quest was recruited into the group seeing as she was one of the strongest competitors in the game. During Robert's week two HOH reign, he asked Shawn Reilly to become a pawn against Ewan Gil, and offered a spot in the group as a compromise.

In week four, Robert approached the core four of the group, along with Sherri, and suggested removing Shawn from the alliance and evicting him this week. Most of the group was hesitant to the idea, seeing as they were worried about the audience perception of them if they were to turn their back on one of their own alliance members. Robert went through with the plan anyways out of fear of Shawn's retaliation from the alliance due to his nomination in week two, and the eviction of his close ally Tammy in week three.

Elizabeth Lloyd played a heavy hand in the destruction of **The Alliance** in the end game. Despite not being a part of her core alliance, Justin Mendes and Liz had a very close bond, and she saved him throughout several weeks of the game despite allies Carol, Robert and Chris consistently wanting to send him home. Liz's true loyalties became known at the final five, when she nominated Robert and Chris, keeping Justin off of the chopping block. After the season, Liz swore she would have evicted Justin at the final three, bringing Carol to the final two with her had she been given the chance. However, live feeders of the show believe otherwise.

Winners Alliance

The **Winners Alliance** was an alliance from *Big Brother 7*. Consisting of former winners Mike Caddell and Elizabeth Lloyd. Lynn Chan was also a winner on the cast but was not included in the alliance due to his irrational targeting of Mike.

The alliance would form between Mike and Liz in week two of Big Brother All-Stars. Although the alliance was stronger on Liz's side then Mike's, they actually formed a strong bond and voted together numerous times throughout the first half of the game. In week six, Lynn, the other former winner had Mike on the block as his target. When Liz won the Power of Veto she was faced with a difficult decision. She had agreed with Lynn earlier in the week that she would value his wishes this week as Head of Household, but also gave her word to Mike earlier in the game as his final two partner. At the Power of Veto meeting Liz honored her alliance with Mike and vetoed the season three winner off of the block.

Mike would return the favor when he won the Power of Veto in week eight, and was left with a dilemma. Both Lauren and Liz believed they were one of Mike's number one allies, but Mike was in a position where he had to reveal some of his hand. Ultimately, Mike used the Power of Veto on Liz, returning the favor to the fellow winner who had saved him two weeks prior. It was also in this week that The Outlaws was formed to attempt overthrowing Carol & Rebecca.

At the final six of the All-Star season, fan favorite Arush Dalal became the new Head of Household for the first time this season. Himself, Mike Caddell and Elizabeth Lloyd agreed that they wanted to blindside Carol Size this week, by nominating her as a "pawn" to get Lynn Chan out of the house, but really vote to evict Carol. At the nomination ceremony, Arush put the plan into motion, nominating Carol Size who had been unnominated up until this point, and season four winner Lynn Chan. The only thing that could throw a wrench in the plan, was Rebecca Church winning the Power of Veto, and at the competition that is exactly what happened. Rebecca held the golden Power of Veto and made it known that she would be using it on Carol this week, giving her and Carol majority in the eviction vote. This left Arush in a very difficult position, ultimately having to choose one of his allies to sacrifice out of the game. After both of the former winners, Mike and Liz, gave their pleads to Arush, he stood up and gave his decision, nominating Liz for eviction and ultimately sending her home in a 2-1 vote.
