Big Brother Cheesecake 5: All-Stars

## Background

The fifth season of Big Brother Cheesecake started on December 1, 2020. This is the longest season to date, lasting 100 days. It featured 16 returning houseguests, four from each of the first 4 seasons.

The season ended on March 10, 2021, making this season the first (and only) time the game was played through New Year. In the end, season 3's Chantele and JoJo made it to the final 2, with JoJo being crowned the All-Star champion by an 8-1 vote.

## Twists

* **Twist Picks:** Each of the players has a chance to guess what one of the new twists of the season is. They can only guess once and if they are correct they earn a Fast Forward.
	+ **Silver Power of Veto:** It was revealed later in the season that the twist in question was a change in the final 4 Power of Veto. The veto for the final 4 was a Silver Power of Veto. If won by a nominee, they cannot use it to save themselves.
* **All-Star Dollars:** This season houseguests had a chance to earn money for every competition they win: 60ASD for HoH, 40ASD for PoV, and 20ASD for Redemple Temple wins. They could spend their All-Stars dollars to buy an advantage in five pre-determined Power of Veto competitions.
* **Redemple Temple:** Borrowed from Survivor, it works similar to Redemption Island. Evicted houseguests will go to the Temple and compete in a duel with the previous evictee. The winner stays to wait for the next evictee, the loser is officially out of the game. At two points in the game, the winner of the duel comes back into the main game.

1. Because Rye Rye decided not to go to Redemple Temple, Cat was randomly picked to battle against Charlene for the chance to earn the $20 All-Stars dollars.

* **Veto Wheel:** In six pre-determined weeks, the winner of the Power of Veto competition will earn a bonus Power of Veto that can be used up until the final 6. The host will spin a wheel to determine what kind of Power of Veto is in play. If the player draws the Poo Brown Power of Veto they get a Fast Forward.
	+ **Returnee Spin:** After a player returns to the game from Redemple Temple, they will have the chance to spin the wheel for a 50-50 chance to earn a Fast Forward, or get a Poo Brown Power of Veto.

1. Since Chantele declined the temptation of spinning the wheel for a chance at a Fast Forward, the option became available for the rest of the houseguests. Rhonda accepted the temptation and was drawn to spin the wheel.
2. On week 9, the houseguests were given the choice to play for the Sapphire PoV or a Fast Forward. Jonathan was drawn on the wheel and he decided to play for the Sapphire PoV.
3. Since Brazil declined the temptation of spinning the wheel for a chance at a Fast Forward, the option became available for the rest of the houseguests. Chantele accepted the temptation and was drawn to spin the wheel.
4. On week 10, with only the Poo Brown PoV available on the wheel, houeseguests were all eligible to win a Fast Forward by winning the Golden PoV.

## Game History

### Notes

1. ↑  Rye Rye self-evicted on day 22. Since he was one of the nominees, no vote was held and the game moved on as scheduled.
2. ↑      Jonathan earned a Diamond Power of Veto in the Veto Wheel on week 7. He won the POV competition and decided to use it, saving himself from the block and naming Joanne as his replacement.
3. ↑      The Power of Veto this week was a Topaz Power of Veto. Rhonda was forced to use it on one of the nominees, and there would be no replacement.
4. ↑      Curtis originally won Head of Household, but Rhonda used her Emerald Power of Veto to veto the results of the competition. At the random draw to choose a new winner, Nicole was picked and became Head of Household.
5. ↑      Rhonda used the Poo Brown Power of Veto on week 10, saving Nicole from the block and nominating herself as replacement.
6. ↑      Chantele earned a Fast Forward in the Veto Wheel. She used it on week 10 and was safe from eviction.
7. ↑      JoJo earned a Fast Forward in the Veto Wheel. He used it on week 11 and was safe from eviction.
8. ↑      Brazil used her Sapphire Power of Veto to reverse JoJo's decision to use the Golden Power of Veto on Chantele. The initial nominations stayed put.
9. ↑      The Power of Veto at the final 4 was a Silver Power of Veto. In the event a nominee wins the veto, they cannot use it to save themselves.
