Big Brother 3

**Big Brother 3** is the third season of the Simlish reality television series *Big Brother*. After 85 days, the Jury crowned Orson Yates as the winner of the game over June Tsui in a 7-0 vote.

## Twists

* **Turbulence:** In the first, second and third rounds, a wheel was spun - starting with numbers from 1 to 9, decreasing in size as each cycle progressed. The number the wheel landed on indicated how many houseguests would be able to win immunity in endurance competitions - leaving the bottom 5 of each endurance competition in a guaranteed state of vulnerability, and shaking up the predictability of the game. If a houseguest won immunity, they could still play in veto competitions, but not compete for Head of Household that week.
* **Pass the Life Jacket:** A houseguest, selected at random, will not be able to receive the immunity twist at the first jury eviction - however, they must pass on the life jacket to whoever they do not want to have immunity that week; the life jacket continues being passed to anyone who has not yet received it until one individual is left the last houseguest with the life jacket. This individual receives immunity, however cannot play in the Head of Household competition. Samir Ben was left with the life jacket and gained immunity.
* **Hijack Hysteria:** Straight after the HoH competition, the houseguests played in a competition to determine the Hijacker. The Hijacker has the power to hijack one of the HoH's nominees (after nomination ceremony) and replace it with their own. However, if the Hijacker's nominee is saved, the HoH names the replacement - and the House Pilot is still eligible for renomination. Niraj Singh won the first House Pilot and chose not to use it, Niraj also won the second House Pilot - this time, choosing to save himself and replace himself with Orson.

## Game History

### Week 1

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto NomineePOV**

 **Nominee5 Votes**

 **Post-Veto NomineeEvicted6 Votes**

Opening the first week of gameplay, Bélen formed a 6-person alliance (following Orson's HoH win) based on duos formed early on in the game; Bélen and Caspar, Jermaine and Summer, and Orson and Aisha. However, this super-alliance did not make themselves incredibly discreet; in fact, the trio of June, Niraj, and Samir came together to form an opposing alliance called the Sandstorm 7, purposefully excluding Monroe, who was getting on most houseguests' nerves already. Orson nominated Anika and June, two of the more strong-willed and opinionated characters in the house. All members of the Sandstorm 7 knew one of them would be going the first week, thanks to Monroe's immunity, so tensions were already high prior to the veto competiton. Following Anika's veto win and subsequent self-save, Eske was named the replacement, leading to an all-out campaign war between the Sandstorm 7 and Orson's 6-person alliance (Supreme Six). With both alliances seeing June as the bigger threat, it became evident that Monroe was a free agent and most likely the swing vote. Abusing his power, Monroe continuously led both sides to believe he was with them, however, he had made up his mind from the beginning thanks to his individual alliances with June and Jordan, voting to evict Eske over June. This resulted in a huge blowup between Orson, Bélen and Aisha against Monroe following eviction, and a huge target on Bélen's back.

With Bélen immune, HoH Jordan set his sights on her showmance and number 1 ally, Caspar. Not wanting to be stuck on a sinking ship, Orson sought out alliances elsewhere, forming the Interchange alliance with his showmance Aisha, and Sandstorm 7 members June and Jordan. When Summer, the pawn, won the veto to save herself, it became clear who was going home. Monroe took this as an opportunity to get under Bélen's skin, taunting Caspar (the biggest pacifist of the house) until his eviction, where he was sent home 7-3.

Monroe's power trip would only continue, following his third week of safety as the third HoH. Forming the Brawn League alliance with Niraj, Jermaine, and Lily, he made an attempt to establish a physically dominant alliance to intimidate the remainders of the Supreme Six even more. Nominating Bélen and Aisha, he would continue berating them for the second week straight, starting to get on the nerves of Anika, who was becoming frustrated with her alliance putting up with this behaviour. Summer would win her second consecutive POV, saving Bélen, however this would not change much. A member of the Supreme Six, namely Aisha, would be going home. With 8 out of 9 votes to evict, and all the same allies as Orson, Aisha would be sent to the jury.

### Week 4

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto NomineePOV**

 **Post-Veto Nominee1 Vote**

 **NomineeEvicted7 Votes**

The Sandstorm 7 reign of terror would continue with Jordan's second HoH win - despite pressure from Anika to vote out Monroe, Jordan considered this to be too risky, and Monroe too much of an asset to vote him off. This would fracture the developing showmance between Jordan and Anika, as Monroe would continue to belligerently taunt Bélen knowing he was safe. Summer would win the Power of Veto for a third consecutive time - déjà vu from the previous week, where a Supreme Six female member would knowingly be the target up against a clear pawn. This time, this eviction would prove to be Sandstorm 7's breaking point, as another tirade from Monroe would send Anika over the edge to officially expose the Sandstorm 7 alliance. Anika officially split from the alliance, aligning with the remainder of the Supreme Six, which caused even more tension between herself and Jordan. Anika would also have especially fractured relationships with former allies Niraj and Lily, members of Brawn League who were accused of 'enabling' Monroe's behaviour.

### Week 5

 **HOH**

 **POV**

 **Nominee0 Votes**

 **NomineeEvicted7 Votes**

Anika's first HoH reign gave the Supreme Six their first glimmer of hope; set on taking out Monroe once and for all. Shockingly, this week saw an immense change in Monroe's behaviour, he was much quieter and less cocky. Anika and Jordan came to an agreement, that Jordan would continue to work with the Sandstorm 7, and Anika with the Supreme Six (now called Operation Save Supreme), but would protect each other at all costs. Monroe would be evicted unanimously as the final prejuror, following Summer's fourth consecutive veto win and first time discarding.

### Week 6

 **Life VestImmune**

 **HOHPOV**

 **Hijacker**

 **Nominee3 Votes**

 **NomineeEvicted4 Votes**

Before the HoH competition, two jury twists were announced. The first, was the life vest twist. A houseguest selected at random would pass the life vest on the person they least wanted to have immunity for that week. The last person left with the life vest would have immunity that week, but could not play in the HoH. Lily was selected at random, and passed it to Anika. The life vest passing continued in this order: Niraj, Summer, Jordan, Jermaine, June, Orson, Samir. Jordan would go on to win his third HoH, set on evicting Summer. The Hijacker twist came into play, where one secret houseguest would be able to hijack one of the nominees. While Niraj was tempted to nominate Anika, he respected his ally's HoH and left nominees unchanged. After Jordan won the PoV, Anika campaigned to keep Summer - however this failed, as the power was left in Jordan's hands following the tie, and he broke the tie to send Summer to the jury house first.

### Week 7

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto NomineePOV**

 **Hijack Nominee2 Votes**

 **Pre-Hijack NomineeHijackerPost-Veto Nominee3 Votes**

Anika would win back-to-back HoHs again, with ex-best friend Lily as the target. Niraj would win his second hijacker competition in a row - however, this twist would end up being futile, as he would end up on the block again after saving himself once Lily won the PoV. Expecting Orson to go home, Niraj didn't campaign much - however, his allies Jordan and June saw more longevity in their games sticking with their Interchange alliance, thus both flipped to save Orson, evicting Niraj by 3-2.

### Week 8

 **HOHPOV**

 **Nominee1 Vote**

 **Evicted3 Votes**

Despite being vaguely in the middle of the Sandstorm 7 civil war, Samir was hellbent on taking out Anika, motivated by rage thanks to last week's eviction. Thinking they were still allies due to their Style Superstars alliance, Anika was taken by surprise being nominated. By nominating Orson, Samir wanted to ensure the vote would at least be a tie, knowing Lily and Jermaine would never vote him out. Samir would win veto again, practically ensuring Anika's eviction. In the end, Anika was evicted 3-1 (much to the chagrin of Jordan, who relentlessly pleaded to change Samir's mind) and sent to the jury house confused by Samir's decision.

### Week 9

 **HOHPOV**

 **Nominee0 Votes**

 **Evicted3 Votes**

Orson would finally win his second main competition with his second HoH, wanting to break up the duo of Samir and Lily. In a shocking turn of events, Samir would completely betray his ally Lily, blaming her for being the mastermind behind Anika's eviction. This was true, and following Orson's veto win, the Interchange alliance agreed to vote out Lily. Spooked by the fact they had no idea she was behind the vote, the alliance became worried she may have been the brains behind other big evictions, and voted her out unanimously since they respected her game more than Samir's anyway.

### Week 10

 **HOH**

 **POV**

 **Pre-Veto Nominee**

 **Evicted2 Votes**

Jordan won his 4th HoH competition, hell-bent on revenge against Samir for evicting his showmance partner Anika. Samir essentially had no more allies at this point; Jordan was now against him, June was more loyal to Orson now, and he had never shown any allegiance to Orson or Jermaine. Therefore, the only faith he had left was the veto competition. Jermaine would win his first main competition (10th week into the game), saving his closest ally Orson and voting out a defenseless Samir unanimously.

### Week 11

 **HOH**

 **Pre-Veto NomineePOV**

 **Post-Veto Nominee0 Votes**

 **Evicted1 Vote**

Jermaine would win his first HoH, and a crucial one too, considering the other 3 houseguests were all in an alliance together. This left Orson and Jordan scrambling, as both men knew they were the biggest threats in the house at that point, and one of them would almost certainly be going home. June knew nobody saw her as a threat at that point, so she made it a point to cause tension between the Interchange alliance by creating group discussions on who they thought would receive jury votes from who. Orson would win the crucial final veto competition, and contemplated taking his closest ally Jordan to final 3. However, accepting defeat, Jordan gave Orson his blessing to evict him, being the final houseguest evicted before the finale.

### Week 12

 **Evicted1 Vote**

Hell-bent on winning, Orson knew he would be cut at the final 3 if either June or Jermaine won the final HoH. June would shock everybody by winning the first HoH competition (after failing to win any competitions other than the Week 2 Turbulence competition), sending both Orson and Jermaine into a spiral. Orson would win Part 2 by a very small margin, leaving the final part to an unpredictable showdown. Orson would come out on top, sending home Jermaine, thinking he was the bigger threat.

### Finale

 **Winner  7 Votes**

 **Runner-Up  0 Votes**

The jury had the opportunity to confront the final 2 and ask them questions about their gameplay to help decide the winner of the game. Unlike the first two seasons, the jury commended both games of the finalists, however, criticisms were still given here and there. Orson was commended for his underdog to power-player storyline, and June was commended for having one of the most impeccable social games of all time - never being in danger after Week 1. However, Orson was criticised by Lily for letting his allies do all the work in the early jury stage, and June was criticised by multiple houseguests for consistent failure to win competitions, and questioned how much she was actually involved in eviction decision-making. The jury unanimously voted Orson the winner by a vote of 7-0, thanks to his underdog gameplay, and coming from a doomed minority alliance to a key decision-maker in the late stages of the game. Jordan was voted the winner of the §25,000 Fan Favourite prize.
