Tangram Trail

### **Description**

A competition where houseguests must find tangram pieces around Tengaged, and then solve the tangram.

### **Appearance(s)**

*Big Brother 1*

"**Tangram Trail**" is a Power of Veto competition which appeared in *Big Brother 1*.

## Rules

In this mental puzzle competition, houseguest must find pieces to a tangram puzzle that are scattered throughout Tengaged, and then solve a tangram puzzle.

At the start of the competition, Shawn gives all the houseguests the clue to the location of the first tangram piece. When a houseguest solves the clue and finds their first piece, they also find the clue to the next piece.

Houseguests must follow the trail of clues to find seven tangram pieces. Once they find all seven pieces, they must begin solving the tangram puzzle, using a silhouette, provided at the start of the competition, as the outline for the puzzle.

Once a houseguest figures out how the pieces fit together, they must demonstrate that they have solved the puzzle by either: saving the pieces and physically putting them together in some sort of editing software (Photoshop, Paint, etc.), drawing the pieces to the best of their ability, or describing how the pieces fit together incredibly descriptively.

It doesn't matter which method a houseguest uses to prove they solved the tangram, just that that Shawn can distinctly say they solved it.

The first houseguest to solve the tangram puzzle wins the Power of Veto.
Jake W.

**Jake W.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 11*. He placed tenth, and was the second member of the jury.

## Big Brother 11

### Game Summary

Forming good individual relationships will his fellow houseguests helped Jake progress through the early part of the game. His pivotal HOH in Week 3's Double Eviction helped to cement this, as he used it to take out a key competition threat Jimmy T. As knowledge of the Dream Team alliance started to spread further into the game, Jake teamed up with his number one ally Andrew T. and Kamani W. to form The Buttercups alliance against them. However before they could make a big move, Week 6 HOH Jacob B. nominated Jake for eviction alongside Birks R., solidifying his nominations with the POV also. Andrew and Kamani voted to keep their ally, as did wildcard Matt B., but it was not quite enough to keep Jake in the game, as he was sent to the Jury in a tense 4-3 vote.

Andrew K.

**Andrew K.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 11*. He placed ninth, and was the third member of the jury.

## Big Brother 11

### Game Summary

Entering the game with his ally, Jake W., Andrew made it clear he wasn't afraid to target the competition threats, or cause confrontation. With his HOH in Week 4, he targeted members of the early power alliance Fab Five in Jayson B. and Sydney D., leading to Jayson's shock early exit. He then formed the The Buttercups alliance with Jake and Kamani W., and made up with his enemies to form the Baddie B's However, Andrew ran into trouble when John B. covertly nominated him in Secret Week. His tight alliances managed to keep him safe that round, surviving by only one vote. But when Andrew went up again in Week 7, this time against his own ally Kamani W., HOH Tisha M. secured the POV to keep her nominations the same. Next to a good social player in Kamani, and having lost Jake the week before, Andrew was almost unanimously evicted to the Jury, with only Birks R. voting to save him.

Conversion Matrix

### **Description**

### **Appearance(s)**

*Big Brother Eruption*
*Big Brother 11*
*Big Brother Second Chance*
*Big Brother 13*
*Big Brother Double Trouble*

"**Conversion Matrix**" is a Head of Household competition which originated in *Big Brother Eruption*.

## Rules

In this mental competition, houseguests race to decode several encrypted clues in order to find a letter scramble that they must solve.

Shawn begins the competition by giving the houseguests seven Tengaged usernames, all encrypted in a strange alien language. Alongside each coded username is a date. Houseguests are also given a translation sheet to help decode the usernames.

Houseguests have to first figure out what each username is, and then go to that user's played games on Tengaged to find the only game labeled with the date provided. From there, they need to find that particular game's official winner.

Once they have decoded all seven usernames and found each game winner, houseguests must take the first letter in each game winner's username, use those letters to spell out a 7-letter word, and mail their guess to Shawn.

The first houseguest to correctly guess the final word will become the new Head of Household.
Eli O.

**Eli O.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 9*. He placed sixth, and was the sixth member of the jury.

## Big Brother 9

### Game Summary

Eli opted to remain low throughout most of the first half of the game, avoiding both the power and the block, but forming key allegiances like his duo with Ryan D. However his association with a threat like Ryan soon came back to bite him, when they were nominated together in Week 6 by Patrick M., who solidified his noms with the POV. Despite Ryan's eviction that round, the Ghost Train allowed him to return, using the HOH in Week 8 to take Patrick out in his place. With the opposition on the back foot, Eli won HOH, allowing him to make his move, putting up UTR threats Mari E. and Shadi C. in an Instant Eviction. However things soon turned sour as Mari used her Coup d'Etat to overthrow Eli as HOH, save herself, and put Tico F. up in her place. With Shadi's key social connections, Tico was evicted, making Eli's HOH a failure, and causing the disintegration of his alliance with Ryan. The next week saw Eli up with Ryan again by the hand of LeQuisha Q., as Ryan made a more permanent exit. In Week 10 Eli was nominated again alongside Jordan N., this time knowing he needed the veto to survive. However it was Jordan who won out, taking himself down and forcing Eli to face the person who ruined his HOH, Mari. This time, Eli would not survive, unanimously joining the jury in sixth place.

*Big Brother 9*

"**Bottleneck Stampede**" is a Power of Veto competition which originated in *Big Brother All-Stars*.

## Rules

In this mental competition, the houseguest must locate tokens hidden around Tengaged blogs, and claim them, to stay in the game.

Each round Shawn posts one hint for the potential location of these tokens. The hint applies to a number of Tengaged users, and the houseguests must scan the first blogs of all potential answers to find and claim one of the tokens.

For example, if the hint was "Suitman Survivor runner-ups", they'd search the first blogs of the runner-ups for tickets, with one token placed on five individual runner-ups (ie hypothetically, there could be 1 token in the first blogs of manalord, Number1SurvivorFan, CharlieBibi, Chastain and wangifold)

When they find a token, the houseguests must post \*claims token\* on the blog to stay in the game. Once a token has been claimed, no one else can claim it, they must find another.

There will always be one less token then there are players. The person who fails to claim a token each round is eliminated, and the last houseguest standing wins the Power of Veto.
Sam P.

**Sam P.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 1*. He placed fourth, and was the eighth member of the jury.

## Big Brother 1

### Game Summary

Void of any solid alliances, Sam become a nominations scapegoat during the latter part of the game, at one point being on the block for four straight rounds. However, his physical prowess in POV competitions also marked him as an underdog threat to win as the weeks rolled on. He was finally evicted in the penultimate week when he failed to win the final POV to save himself, allowing Jasper L. the sole vote to send him packing.

## Trivia

* Sam formerly co-held the record for most POV wins in a season with four, alongside Julian W. from *Big Brother 4* and Patrick J. from *Big Brother All-Stars*, until it was broken by Max A. in *Big Brother Blood vs. Water* with five wins.
* Sam formerly co-held the record for most times nominated in a season with six, alongside AJ B. from *Big Brother 4* and Jeremy B. from *Big Brother All-Stars*
	+ This record was beaten by Logan H. in *Big Brother 7* when he received a total of eight nominations in the season.
* Sam formerly held the record for the most times taken off the block with the Veto by themselves, with three.
	+ This was beaten by Max A. in *Big Brother Blood vs. Water* with four.
Joined Together

**Joined Together** is a twist from *Big Brother 4*. It forces two houseguests to play as one for the entire season.

## Overview

The two worst performing houseguests on the worst performing team in the first Head of Household competition were joined together, becoming one houseguest, like Nick and Phil from Big Brother Canada 4.

The two joined houseguests would alternate each week who participated in competitions. If they won HOH, they each would get one nomination. If they won the Power of Veto, they both had to agree on who to save with the POV, and they must agree on their one eviction vote between them, each week.

The two houseguests would also be nominated together, and either evicted together or win the whole season together.

"**Sporcle Minefield**" is a Head of Household or Power of Veto competition which originated in *Big Brother Blood vs. Water*.

## Rules

In this mental competition, houseguests have to solve two sporcle quizzes, set in minefield mode, faster than everyone else.

Shawn begins each round by giving all houseguests the same two sporcle quizzes, both of which are on specific topics. The quizzes are set to "minefield" mode, which locks a houseguest out of the quiz if they give an incorrect answer, forcing them to restart the quiz completely.

Houseguests must race to complete, screenshot, and submit both completed quizzes. The last houseguest to submit both completed quizzes in each round is eliminated.

The last houseguest standing will become the new Head of Household.
Raul S.

**Raul S.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 11*. He placed seventh, and was the fifth member of the jury.

## Big Brother 11

### Game Summary

Lacking in competition ability, Raul's biggest asset was his ability to make allies on both sides of the house. This kept him in the middle and off the block for a majority of the season, until the two sides stated to become more obviously divided. With the Dream Team alliance continuing to dominate, and only his Baddie B's alliance to keep him afloat, Raul finally ended up on the block next to Kamani W. at the second Double Eviction in Week 7, by the hand of HOH John B. In a bid to stay in the game and take back control, Raul entered into the Anti Axis alliance with Kamani and power-player Tisha M. When Tisha won POV, Raul was taken down, and the Vote Void was used to assure Kamani's safety and the backdoor of replacement nominee Birks R. In Week 8, the tide looked to be changing, when Kamani finally won HOH. However, John B. used the Emerald Veto and Jacob B. used the Pocket Veto to save themselves, with Tisha also using the normal veto on Sydney D., effectively saving the bulk of the opposition Dream Team. This left Kamani with little choice but to nominate Raul alongside Matt B. With Matt also a member of the majority, Raul's time was clearly up, and he was backdoored by a vote of 2-1 onto the jury.
Veto Volcano

## Big Brother Twist

### **Description**

Replaces the standard Veto with alternative versions of the power, as picked by the houseguests.

### **Appearance(s)**

*Big Brother Eruption*

**Veto Volcano** is a twist from *Big Brother Eruption*. It introduced twisted alterations of the standard Power of Veto, which were placed into the game each week by a particular houseguest of either the David or Goliath factions.

## Overview

Each week, after the HOH winner has been determined, the highest ranking player in the HOH competition from the OPPOSITE faction will be able to pick one of 9 potential Veto alterations to throw into the game. The selected Veto type will then be up for grabs in that week’s POV competition.

As mentioned, the player who selects the Veto power is not only determined by next best performance, but also by faction. So for example, if a David wins HOH, the highest ranking Goliath picks the Veto, and vice versa.

Once a Veto has been picked and placed into the game, it is removed from the list and cannot be picked again, so each decision is a vital one to that round and future ones.

Failure to vote for a Veto type after winning the power will not only force the type to be chosen by Chatzy, but also result in the houseguest who had the power becoming a third nominee as punishment. You have been warned.

After a certain number of rounds (including Double Evictions!) the twist will end, and standard Vetos will return as normal.

## Veto Variations

**GOLDEN Veto**

As simple as it comes, your standard Power of Veto can be picked. This allows the winner to veto any one of the two nominees from the block, with HOH naming the replacement

**DOUBLE Veto**

With this Veto there are TWO separate winners. Each winner may save one person from the block, with the highest placer going first. HOH will re-nominate after the use of each veto. i.e. Veto used, replacement named, Veto used, replacement named.

**BOOMERANG Veto**

The ONE veto winner has the choice to save BOTH nominees. In this instance, HOH only re-noms after the winner chooses to save one or both of the initial nominees.

**FORCED Veto**

As it says on the tin, the veto winner MUST pick one of the two nominees to be saved, guaranteeing the need for a replacement nominee.

**SECRET Veto**

In the style of the Secret Week twist seen in seasons 6-8, the veto winner's identity remains unknown, and they can use the veto however they see fit without anyone knowing it was them who used it.

**TRICKY Veto**

Wanna make it hard for the veto to be used? In this version, the veto winner may pick someone to use the veto on, but that person can ONLY be saved if they complete a mini task to a set standard, otherwise veto goes unused.

**DIAMOND Veto**

The winner of this veto can save one nominee AND name the replacement nominee THEMSELVES.

**HAIL MARY Veto**

If the veto is used, the OTHER NOMINEE ON THE BLOCK has the power to name the replacement nominee.

**REVENGE Veto**

If the veto is used, the VETOED NOMINEE has the power to name the replacement nominee.
Nick J.

* Endgame
* Big Brother 3

**Nick J.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 3* and *Big Brother Endgame*. In his first season, he placed eighth, and was the fourth member of the jury. In his second season, he placed fourteenth.

## Big Brother 3

### Game Summary

Nick's quiet game was thrown for six after Stuart H. targeted him for eviction in Week 3. He survived with the help of his Sicky Nicky Licky alliance of himself, Eric M. and Jeremy B., before winning HOH in Week 4 and turning the tables back on Stuart, causing his pre-jury eviction. However, Stuart's ally Will I. continued to rally against him, nominating him in the second Double Eviction before Eric saved him with the POV. Then when Will nominated him again in Week 7, Jeremy chose to betray him and the alliance in favor of close ally Jacob J., who was also on the block, sending Nick to the Jury in a 3-2 vote.

## Big Brother 3

### Game Summary

A keen social strategist, Jeremy was able to stay off the radar for the vast majority of the game, whilst forming alliances such as Sicky Nicky Licky with Eric M. and Nick J. His key move came when he betrayed the alliance in Week 8 by flipping to the new Garhi final four alliance with duo Jacob J., sending Nick to jury and making Eric follow right after. However, after Christian B. then took Jacob out at the top four, Jeremy had to win the final HOH competition to make it to the final three and return the favor, but faltered in the last part, allowing Christian to make him follow his ally out the door, finishing in third place as the last juror.

## Big Brother All-Stars

### Game Summary

After the under-the-radar strategy worked well for him early on before, Jeremy implemented the same idea in *All-Stars*, latching onto the Shawn's Angels alliance to try and ride a power wave. However, unlike in *Big Brother 3*, his alliance found itself struggling for power against Mother's Meeting and it's later incarnation, The Demolishers, turning Jeremy's game upside-down as he found himself firmly in their crosshairs. As Patrick J., Dakota M. and Kelly R. all put him up for eviction over five consecutive rounds, Jeremy fought back with a Pocket POV, his own POV win, and a POV win from Will I.. Luckily for Jeremy, his first time at the mercy of the eviction saw him against a public enemy in Oli G., but when Kelly won both HOH and POV in the second Double Eviction, she made damn sure that Jeremy wouldn't escape again, and Jeremy was decisively sent to the Jury 4-1.

## Trivia

* Jeremy formerly co-held the record for the most total times vetoed from the block in a season, with four in *Big Brother All-Stars*, alongside AJ B. from *Big Brother 4*, until it was broken by Max A. with five in *Big Brother Blood vs. Water*.
	+ Jeremy also formerly co-held the record for the most straight rounds nominated, with five straight back-to-back nominations in *Big Brother All-Stars* alongside Julian W. - a record which was also broken by Max A. with six straight nominations.
* Jeremy previously co-held the record for most times nominated in a season, with six in *Big Brother All-Stars*, alongside Sam P. from *Big Brother 1* and once again AJ B. from *Big Brother 4*.
	+ This record was beaten by Logan H. in *Big Brother 7* when he received a total of eight nominations in the season.
* Jeremy was the first person to use the Pocket Power of Veto in *Suitman's Big Brother*, using it to remove himself from the block on Week 5 of *Big Brother All-Stars*.

*Big Brother Endgame*

**Double Evictions**, also known as **"Fast Forwards"**, are a special event on *Big Brother* where two houseguests are evicted in the same week. This often involves speeding up the game by having the HoH competition, nomination ceremony, veto competition, veto ceremony, and eviction all held within the span of a single night.

The very first double eviction was in *Big Brother 1*, and it has appeared at least once in all subsequent seasons. In *Big Brother 7*, fast forwards occurred regularly as part of the FFWD twist. A double eviction has always occurred at the final four since *Big Brother Blood vs. Water*.

## Overview

Typically 24 hours or more before it is due to take place, Shawn will inform the houseguests of the impending Double Eviction. This allows the houseguests time to send in a bootlist for who they wish to be eliminated if they happen to be unavailable at the time of the Fast Forward. Failure to do so would result in a penalty vote against the player if they find themselves having to vote during the event. This is due to the deadline for eviction voting usually only lasting a short period during Double Evictions. On rare occasions, the voting deadline may not be until the next day as is normal for a standard week.

During a Fast Forward event, which typically follows the previous eviction, the Head of Household and Power of Veto competitions are played out back to back, with short spaces in between for the Nomination and Veto Ceremonies. Once the final two nominees are confirmed, voting begins, any necissary bootlists get tallied, and the second eviction of the night then takes place. In some instances, the HOH competition for the week directly following the Double Eviction may also get played in the same night.

A variant of the Double Eviction is the Triple Eviction, which can eliminate three houseguests in one week with a similar Fast Forward event, featuring three nominees and a vote to save. This appeared for the first time in *Big Brother All-Stars* through the Den of Twistation, and returned again for *Big Brother 7* with only two people leaving due to the FFWD theme. *Big Brother 7* also introduced the Instant Eviction variant, whereby a Double Eviction does not feature a Power of Veto competition, instead making the HOH's inital nominations final. *Big Brother 9* saw the return of the Instant Eviction.

"**BB Tuck Shop**" is a Head of Household or Power of Veto competition which originated in *Big Brother 1*, and also featured as a Jeopardy competition in *Big Brother 11*, and as a Temptation Competition in .

## Rules

In this mental competition, the houseguests must solve a math conundrum of values.

The houseguests are given three separate large values, for which they need to use the price tags of the items in the Tuck Shop to add up to those large amounts.

However, houseguests can only use each Tuck Shop item for one of the three values, no more, and all items must be used, meaning houseguests must work out which items are specifically needed for each value.

Houseguests are given all three large values at the start of the competition, so they don't get screwed over by a value they weren't expecting.

The first person to solve the conundrum, and send Shawn a list of the items needed for each of the three values, wins.

## Trivia

* Jacob J. currently holds the record for the fastest solving time in this competition, with 5 minutes and 6 seconds.
Word Wall

"**Word Wall**" is a Power of Veto competition which originated in *Big Brother Blood vs. Water*.

## Rules

In this speed competition, houseguests race to climb a wall by forming a series of words with set prefixes and suffixes.

Each round, Shawn will mail all competing houseguests the same three letters. Houseguests then have 30 seconds to respond back with the longest valid word they can spell that either starts or ends in the three letters provided. In order for a word to be considered valid it must appear on the dictionary.com website.

For every letter in their word, houseguests will move up the wall by one notch. Houseguests need to ascend 60 notches on the wall in order to reach the top.

The first houseguest to reach the top of the wall will win the Power of Veto. If multiple houseguests reach the top in the same round, the houseguest who sent their valid word in the final round will win.

## Trivia

* An alternative to this competition, "Snakes and Ladders", was introduced in *Big Brother 11*.
Tico F.

**Tico F.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 9*. He placed eighth, and was the fourth member of the jury.

## Big Brother 9

### Game Summary

Aware of his lack of challenge prowess, Tico opted for a distinctly UTR game, laying low but staying connected as a member of Randomize's Slaves. This allowed him to survive the block with just one vote after becoming a replacement nominee of opposition enemy Chandler P. He still proved he could save himself when necessary however, winning his first competition in Week 5 to take himself off the block. But when it came to the Instant Eviction, after just losing his ally Patrick J., the game was flipped on it's head when nominee Mari E. used the Coup d'Etat on herself, naming Tico as the replacement against ally Shadi C. Despite Shadi being a potentially bigger threat, his strong social connections led Ryan D., Lynette B. and Jordan N. to save him over Tico, who was evicted to the jury in eighth place.
Jacob B.

**Jacob B.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 11*. She placed third, and was the ninth member of the jury.

## Big Brother 11

### Game Summary

Although known as a competition threat, Jacob managed to keep himself safe with minimal competition wins in the first five weeks of the game, instead focusing on his social game, and key Fab Five alliance with the season's power players. In Week 6, Jacob finally unleashed is abilities, taking HOH and POV to send Jake W. to the jury. As the Fab Five evolved into the Dream Team, the house divisions became clearer and more evident. Jacob finally tasted the block when enemy Kamani W. grabbed HOH in Week 8. However with the Pocket Power of Veto he procured from Jeopardy Junction, Jacob saved himself, alongside both John B. with the Emerald Veto and Sydney with Tisha M.'s normal veto. This meant that despite the Dream Team not having power (and Jacob being unable to vote), they could still evict outsider Raul S. in their place. Jacob took revenge on Kamani the following week, by winning both HOH and POV to control the tide and evict him to jury, and making the entire Dream Team alliance the final five. Jacob then found himself an initial nominee in Week 10's normal eviction and Double Eviction, forcing him to win the veto both times to take himself down. With the sole vote to evict either John or Sydney D. in Week 10, a deal was struck between Jacob and John to keep him in the game, despite being the bigger competition threat. Therefore Jacob opted to evict Sydney, before then losing out on the final HOH to Tisha. With Jacob finally vulnerable, Tisha did not miss the chance to take him down, and he was evicted to become the final juror in third place.

Zee S.

**Zee S.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 13*. He was originally evicted in thirteenth, but re-entered the game from the Comeback Competition, and finally placed eleventh, and was the first member of the jury.

## Big Brother 13

### Game Summary

Despite entering the game with little social connections to the other cast members, Zee's friendship with popular cast member Ethan H. helped him integrate into the game. However when Ethan's enemy Evan T. became HOH in Week 2, he nominated both Ethan and Zee together, and the argumentative Joey F.'s POV win solidified the nominations. With Ethan's deep connections in the cast, Zee was in trouble, and despite an effort to take Ethan down, Zee was evicted by a vote of 4-3. However, Zee managed to win Camp Comeback and return to the game, before he was immediately nominated again in Week 4 by Blake R. This time against pawn Tris A., Zee found his chances of survival even further reduced. He was almost unanimously sent to the Jury by a vote of 7-1, with only Ethan voting to keep him in.

Snakes and Ladders

### **Description**

A competition where houseguests must get to the finish of a board game by forming words quickly.

### **Appearance(s)**

*Big Brother 11*
*Big Brother Second Chance*
*Big Brother 13*

"**Snakes and Ladders**" is a Power of Veto competition which originated in *Big Brother 11*.

## Rules

In this speed and luck competition, play the traditional Snakes and Ladders board game, in conjunction with a series of word-forming tasks. Speed is key, as being too slow will results in a houseguest's fate being left to Chatzy. Hitting ladders on the path push players further towards the finish, whilst hitting snakes will take them further away.

Each round Shawn calls out a 2-letter 'prefix'. Houseguests send back a word starting with the prefix as fast as they can in, with the word appearing on the Dictionary.com website.

The first three houseguests to submit valid words move the number of spaces on the board as dictated by the length of their word, prefix included. The reaming three houseguests have their move decided by Chatzy - hoping fate doesn't land them on a snake! However, they will be capped at 5 spaces or less, meaning they can only move further than 5 spaces if they are lucky enough to hit a ladder.

The first houseguest to cross the 50th space wins the Power of Veto. In the event of two people crossing the final space in the same round, the person who submits the final word the quickest is proclaimed the winner.

## Trivia

* This is an alternative version of a previous competition called "Word Wall".

Victoria W.

**Victoria W.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 6*. She placed eighth, and was the fourth member of the jury.

## Big Brother 6

### Game Summary

Victoria came out blazing by winning the first HOH. Despite that week being cancelled by Jordan M. walking, it still gave Victoria the social connections that were necessary to form the season's first power alliance, Four Of A Kind, with Ray G., Chloe D. and Rich G. This tight group of four would dominate the opening weeks, until lies about the vote in the first Double Eviction saw the uprising of an opposition. In Week 6, Victoria found herself put on the block by Ryan B. Although she managed to stay in the game, the Four Of A Kind alliance was now out in the open, so when Secret Week arrived, an unknown HOH (JaVale M.) threw her on the block as a replacement nominee against fellow ally Chloe, after Ray won the veto to take himself down. With the alliance forced to choose between each other, the vote was split down the middle, and it was Victoria who was sent to the jury 3-2.

## Trivia

* Victoria was the third person to win HOH in a week that was later cancelled, without a formal eviction, due to her nominee Jordan M. walking.
	+ The first two were Co-HOHs Anthony F. and Dylan L. in *Big Brother 2*. Dylan himself walked from the game that day.

Rich G.

**Rich G.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 6*. He placed fourth.

## Big Brother 6

### Game Summary

Rich's tumultuous game got off to a fine start, when be became part of the Four Of A Kind power alliance that would share HOH and control for the first few rounds of the game. However, after the opposition began to ride in the Time To Turn This Bitch alliance, Rich found himself playing both sides. When he was caught out, they expelled and shunned him from Four Of A Kind, as the duo of JaVale M. and Ryan B. used their back-to-back HOHs to take two of his former allies, Victoria W. and Ray G., out of the game. Winning power again in the second Double Eviction, Rich curiously nominated the last Four Of A Kind standing in Chloe D. alongside a member of Time To Turn This Bitch in Anthony C., leading to Anthony's 2-1 blindside and another person scorned by Rich. At the final four, with a clear path to the final two, despite a jury bitter towards him, everyone was shocked when Rich made the decision to walk from the game, leaving Chloe, JaVale, Bennett N. and everyone else stunned.

### Game Summary

Despite joining the Envelopes alliance at the start, an unexpected turn of events killed Jake's game before it could start. After voting in the minority to evict Ben P. in Week 1, things turned sour after Ben went straight from the bottom to become HOH. Week 1 HOH Chandler P. secured the veto from Ryan D. to stay in the game, making Jake the unfortunate replacement nominee. Against fellow alliance member Jordan, a decision had to be made, and it was Jake who turned up unlucky in a 10-2 vote. Second onto the Ghost Train, Jake managed to win two duels against Josh W. and Brian H. to stay alive, but was defeated alongside JT A. by Erik I. in the three-way duel of Week 5, finishing in fourteenth place.

Vote Cache

## Big Brother Twist

### **Description**

A repository for houseguests to save an eviction vote, which they could then use at a later stage in the season.

### **Appearance(s)**

*Big Brother Blood vs. Water*
*Big Brother 11*

The **Vote Cache** is a twist from *Big Brother Blood vs. Water*. It allowed houseguests to abstain from voting at an eviction of their choice, in order to save that vote for a future eviction, where they could use it alongside a regular eviction vote, casting two votes for that round. The ability to cache a vote returned as a Jeopardy Junction prize in *Big Brother 11*. It was also a potential prize in the Carnival Gift Shop during *Big Brother 9*, but went unsold.

## Overview

In this twist, houseguests were given the ability to abstain from voting at a single eviction of their choice, casting no eviction vote. It would not be revealed that they had done this, but the final eviction vote tally would make it clear weather or not someone had taken the option, and if so how many people.

By doing this, houseguests save the vote they would have cast to the 'Vote Cache' - a collective storage of saved votes for later use. At any point BEFORE the Final 10, a houseguest could take their vote out of the Vote Cache, and use it as an extra eviction vote alongside their regular one. This means they effectively cast TWO votes at that eviction.

However, every decision made by any houseguest could have consequences later down the line. If a player saved a vote to the Vote Cache and got evicted before using it, or did not use it at the last opportunity (Final 11 eviction), it could no longer automatically be claimed back out the Vote Cache by the player who put it there.

At the Final 9, all remaining votes in the Vote Cache went up for grabs to be secretly won by any houseguest in a third competition each week, one vote at a time. These votes could be taken out and used by their new owners at any vote up to and including the Final 5 eviction once earned.

In *Big Brother Blood vs. Water*, five votes were cached and never used which went up for grabs. One vote was offered between every HOH and POV competition starting in Week 7 for five cycles.

## Vote Cache History

### *Big Brother 11*

The twist returned as an individual power in *Big Brother 11* through the Jeopardy Junction, where it was won by Jacob B. He opted to cache his vote in the Week 3 eviction, and use it to cast an extra vote against Andrew K. in the Week 5 eviction.
Zyler G.

**Zyler G.** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 4*. He placed fifth, and was the seventh member of the jury.

## Big Brother 4

### Game Summary

Keeping under the radar throughout the game, Zyler remained safe by siding with the rising Anti Mid Gens, whilst avoiding ever becoming an enemy of the targeted Mid Gens team as a member of the Model Squad. However this came back to bite him late game, when he was chosen as a replacement nominee following usage of the veto a total of three times, barely surviving one in a tie vote, when HOH and fellow *Late Vets* teammate Mike R. had to save him. The third time it occurred - after the eradication of the *Mid Gens* - Zyler was placed next to Mike on the block, after Julian W. chose to save Sagar O. with the veto. Julian and Sagar both then chose to evict Zyler, resulting in a fifth place finish as he joined the jury.

## Trivia

* Zyler is the second person to be put on the block as a replacement nominee in back-to-back weeks, following Jack W. in *Big Brother 2*, and predating Julian W. in *Big Brother All-Stars*.
	+ Newz O. joined the club in *Big Brother 13*, where he was the replacement nominee in three consecutive weeks.
