Dynamic Duos

**Dynamic Duos** was the main twist of DeSales Big Brother 3. The HouseGuests each entered the game alongside a close friend to make up a Dynamic Duo. There are seven Dynamic Duos in all, for a total of fourteen HouseGuests.

## Details

### Format Changes

For the first three weeks, the HouseGuests are paired up. The Head of Household wins immunity for their partner and must nominate another duo for eviction. The Power of Veto, if used, has to be used on the duo, resulting in another duo being nominated as the post-Veto nominations. The duo faces eviction as individuals.

Additionally, all Power of Veto competitions are played in teams. Instead of there being only six players each week (the HOH, the nominees, and three other players selected by a random draw), there are now four teams of two that compete (the HOH and their duo partner, the nominated duo, and two other duos selected by a random draw).

When a HouseGuest is evicted, the surviving duo partner is given safety until the end of the Dynamic Duos twist. However, because they have no partner, they are ineligible to compete in any Veto competitions unless they are the Head of Household-- in which case they get to choose a HouseGuest to temporarily serve as their partner for the competition.

After the third eviction, the Dynamic Duos twist ends, restoring the game to its original format and allowing the HouseGuests to play the game as individuals.

### Team Colors

On Day 1, the Dynamic Duos learned that they would each be given a team color, with colored bandannas to match. The order in which each team got to choose their team color would be determined randomly. Matt Johnston would pull a ball from a bag with the name of a duo, who would get to choose their color first. Then that team would draw a ball for the next duo, and so on. The last team picked would be stuck with whatever color was left.

The colors available are as follows: red, blue, green, orange, purple, pink, and camouflage.

* Giovanni and Abby were the first team picked; they became the Green Team.
* Grace and Jamir were the second team picked; they became the Pink Team.
* Moses and William were the third team picked; they became the Red Team.
* Cas and Mackenzie were the fourth team picked; they became the Purple Team.
* Rosie and Alison were the fifth team picked; they became the Orange Team.
* Mary Grace and Relena were the sixth team picked; they became the Blue Team.
* Brielle and Kassidy were the last team picked; by default, they became the Camo Team.

The team colors are purely for aesthetic purposes; they have no tangible impact on the game.

### Heroes and Sidekicks

The first two competitions of the season (a Day 1 Safety competition, and the first HOH competition) were split into two parts. One member from each team would compete in each part. Each Dynamic Duo must decide amongst themselves which of them is the hero, and which of them is the sidekick. (This decision does not have to be the same for both competitions.) The sidekicks would play a smaller challenge with the goal of earning an advantage for their teammate. The heroes would play in the main competition for either Safety or HOH.

Notes:

* Giovanni and Mackenzie were not able to compete on Day 1, so their partners, Abby and Cas, competed in both parts of the Safety competition.

* Rosie and Alison were both absent for the Week 1 HOH competition. It is unknown who would have been the hero and sidekick had they been present.

## Trivia

* The final two HouseGuests of the season, Alison and Rosie, were of the same Dynamic Duo; they were also the only final two in the show's history to never have an eviction vote cast against either of them.
* This is the first twist that the HouseGuests knew would occur before even being cast on the season, as most of the HouseGuests applied with a partner.
* This twist is the first to make it so that a competition could have multiple winners.
* The Red Team (Moses and William) are the only duo partners that are not in the same grade.
* Mary Grace is the only HouseGuest to be named the hero of her Dynamic Duo twice.
