Jason Bentley

Jason Bentley, season 2

## **Overview**

Jason Bentley was a houseguest on Big Brother 2.

Jason started the game out as an outcast. He was unable to relate to his fellow houseguests and would narrowly escape nomination in the first few weeks of the game, always being an option to go on the block for the Head of Household's. Jason purely had to rely on making deals and forming relationships. His only alliance being with Marcus Frasier and Nathan Tinsley called the Brogade that formed in week two when Nathan won Head of Household. This alliance was only real to Nathan, as Marcus and Jason knew he was a liability and ultimately had to cut him eventually. Jason was some how able to remain unnominated for the first six weeks of the game, keeping his head down and his mouth closed, watching big target after big target leave the house. He used his flirtation as a strategy on Kelly Morretz and Lauren Mosely during their Head of Household's, and it worked as they kept him off of the block. It wasn't until week seven when Marcus won Head of Household, that Jason was nominated by his former ally. Nominated against house target Kelly Morretz, Jason knew he had a good shot at staying, and it was this week that his friendship with Natasha Taylor truly blossomed. He considered this friendship platonic, with a little bit of flirtation, whereas Natasha had a different idea of what they were, Jason did not correct her. Staying in a close 2-1 vote, with David Mitchell catching onto his tricks. In the final five Natasha won Head of Household, and Jason was able to convince her to turn on her alliance to keep him safe, urging her that if she were to nominate him, he would go home. And she complied, keeping him safe and advancing him to the final four, where he was able to win his first Head of Household and secure his spot in the final three. Jason lost both parts to the final HOH competition and when Marcus won he knew he would be evicted as Marcus and Natasha had a bond that he couldn't break. He was evicted in third place and was the final member of the jury.

## **Trivia**

The Trio

**The Trio** was an alliance from *Big Brother 5* consisting of Clarity Mitchell, Bobby Jenner and Maria Cruz. Cohen Lake and Cole Dristan were closely aligned to the trio in the first half of the game.

It was in the first week where Clarity and Bobby would become extremely close, Maria also got close to Bobby but herself and Clarity had a weird frenemies type relationship. Cole and Cohen also hit it off, they made a group pact with the trio not to target each other and the fans dubbed them the "Popular" clique.

In week six, Rebecca Church was crowned the new Head of Household. She and Clarity had been getting closer as the weeks went on, but it was hard to form a friendship with someone who was on the other side of the house. So she made a deal with Blarity. They decided on a two week truce in the game, that she wouldn't nominate either of them, as long as they kept their end of the deal next week and kept her safe. Bobby was hesitant to accept the deal, as it would leave Maria a sitting duck, but Clarity assured him that they would have the votes to keep Maria regardless. They accepted the deal, and Rebecca nominated two other members of their side, Cole and Maria. Bobby won the Power of Veto competition, and was left with a difficult decision. He wanted to use the Power of Veto to save Maria, but feared that Clarity would be the replacement if he did, so he ultimately decided against using it, which made Maria extremely weary of her trio alliance, and led her to make a separate deal with Sedric Quilliams as a back up plan.

The Trio was a force in the game, winning competitions every week keeping the three members safe. Before the final five eviction, Sedric & Maria made a final two alliance, they agreed that in the final four if they were both still in the house that they would team up against Blarity, because they both knew how strong of a duo they were and that they would never turn on one another. For Clarity and Bobby, the task was simple at the final four, they just had to beat Sedric in the competitions and they would make it to the final three, but when Sedric won the Head of Household it was set in stone. For the first time in 70 days, the trio was in danger and one of them would for sure be leaving the house. Sedric started off the week naming Clarity and Bobby as the nominees, although they all knew the true power lied in the POV competition. At the Relay Race competition, Clarity won the Power of Veto for the second and last time this season. Running and jumping into Bobby's arms, screaming "Final three!!", Maria knew her biggest fear had come true, she felt at the bottom of the trio since the start, and this moment solidified it. Although feeling defeated, Maria gave her pitch to Clarity as to why Bobby was going to win the game if she sat next to him, but at the eviction it proved no use, and Clarity sent Maria to the jury house.

Chris Crain

Chris Crain, season 1

## **Overview**

Chris Crain was a contestant on the first season of Big Brother.

Entering the game, Chris quickly formed a close bond with both Ewan Gil and Todd Brownlee who were both sent home in the beginning stages of the game. Chris, feeling alone, had to adapt and slide his way into the alliance controlling the house, forming close bonds with Robert Jenner and Carol Size. Chris struggled in the competitions and failed to win a single Head of Household, but once the jury phase began he made the strategic decision to lay his head low and ride with the alliance as far as he could. At the final six, Chris and Robert were planning on voting Justin out and keeping Bethany, but as the time got closer to eviction, Chris became paranoid that Robert and Bethany were a lot closer then he thought and that his final two partner Robert would eventually choose to evict him instead of Bethany, so Chris changed his vote and kept Justin in the game. Many fans regard this vote change as the worst move of the season, because the following week Chris and Robert were the next target for Carol Size and Elizabeth Lloyd, who put them on the block. After Robert's eviction, Chris found himself nominated against Justin in the final four. He felt confident that Liz and Carol would stick to their word and take their alliance member to the final three, and he and Carol were shocked when Liz voted him out and took Justin to the final three.

Veterans Alliance

The **Veterans Alliance** was a very short-lived alliance from *Big Brother 4* consisting of the three returning cast members, Montana Fetter, Hunter Pryor and Sherri Quest.

The alliance was formed on the very first day of Big Brother 4 and lasted a total of 1 day. As Sherri and Montana quickly butted heads, feeling threatened by eachother due to their strong willed nature. Sherri won the first Head of Household competition and on day 3, nominated Montana for eviction. But when Montana won the following Power of Veto and Head of Household competition, she would soon retaliate.

The feud continued throughout the entirety of the pre jury, up until Mark Smart won Head of Household in week four. He nominated both Montana and Sherri as he wanted to keep the blood off his hands and they were easy targets. Gwen Bright used the veto on Montana at a shocking POV Ceremony. Mark named the third veteran houseguest Hunter as his replacement nominee. It was during this week we saw Montana and Sherri mend fences as Montana realized she was alone in the game and could use a strong ally like Sherri in the house. However Montana's vote was not enough to save Sherri and she was evicted anyways.

The Pact

**The Pact** was a four-person alliance formed in week four of *Big Brother 2* consisting of Natasha Taylor, Marcus Frasier, Lauren Mosely and David Mitchell.

In week four when David found himself nominated for eviction, himself and Lauren hatched a plan to save him. It was in this week that a new alliance formed, a final four deal called the Pact. This was Lauren’s second alliance after the fallout of the Elite Four. The members of the Pact put in work to save David from eviction, and because they were at all corners of the house pushing Angela to leave the game, she was evicted in the first landslide unanimous vote of the series.

The following week, Hunter Pryor and Marcus Frasier were nominated for eviction. This was a hard week for David who was close friends with Hunter, and now in an alliance with Marcus. Marcus gave David permission to cast a pity vote for Hunter, knowing he had Nathan Tinsley's vote. Ultimately Hunter was evicted from the game in a 3-2 vote, when Lauren sided with the Pact and officially ended her affiliation with the Elite Four.

The alliance faced no adversity until the final five of the game. When Natasha nominated Lauren & David for eviction, instead of non Pact member Jason Bentley. This was a shock to David, as he thought the pact was loyal until the end. Lauren was kicking herself this week for not listening to Kelly Morretz when she warned her about Tasha and Jason's tight bond. The following week Tasha would backstab the Pact again, voting out Lauren over Jason and sending a second member to the jury house.

Mean Girls

The **Mean Girls** were a volatile friendship from *Big Brother 3*. Krista Shanks and Paula Cruz were dubbed the Mean Girls by the fans due to their treatment of the other female houseguests on the season.

"Someone tell that country bitch to shut the fuck up and go fix her teeth" - Paula Cruz about Anna Mae Sinclair.
"Nobody is buying her shitty earrings, I wish I could douse her in gasoline" - Krista Shanks about Erin Crumb.

Marco's Angels

**Marco's Angels** were a three-person alliance from *Big Brother 8* consisting of Marco Alvarado, Camerin Goldwing and Tempest Webber.

Tempest and Marco became very close in this first week, quickly blossoming a flirtmance. Camerin began getting very close to Marco as well. This sparked tension between Camerin and Tempest that would later bubble to the surface, however Marco believed they were better as a trio, rather than enemies and urged the two women to put their differences aside and focus on the game. The three of them called themselves Marco's Angels. By week three, Marco had growing tension with Parmona Kapoor, he nominated her alongside her Side Chicks ally Niah in week three of the game, inciting a war between Marco's Angels and the Collision Crew.

Following Niah Cross' eviction, for Marco's Angels it felt as though the entire house was against them. Marco had officially declared war on Parmona and the Collision Crew, and he was beginning to butt heads with Audrey Lancaster in day-to-day living. His saving grace was when Julian Morales won his second HOH competition, and the two of them were in newly formed alliance The Hustle. Julian initally targeted Tempest, but after she won the veto the target shifted onto Aylana Lavash.

The following week, Camerin became the new HOH. Marco's Angels discussed nominations and had a hard time coming to a consensus. Marco and Camerin had a one-on-one conversation, where Camerin suggested using Tempest as a pawn to backdoor Katrina Larkin who was in the opposing alliance. Marco advised Camerin not to nominate Tempest, as she was a number for them. This didn't change Camerin's mind at all, as she secretly was okay with Tempest being evicted, and had a strong distaste for her. Camerin went rogue, nominating Tempest anyway alongside Waylen Morrisette. This put Marco in a very precarious position as he was aligned with both the HOH and the nominees. Waylen ended up winning the POV, and Camerin followed her plan of nominating Katrina in his spot. With the fractured but still stable Collision Crew having majority of the vote, word quickly spread that Tempest was more than likely leaving. Marco gave Tempest a pity vote, and the houseguests soon learned it was a double eviction. After Audrey Lancaster became the new HOH, Marco soon followed Tempest out the door.

After Marco's eviction, Julie announced the twist to the remaining houseguests. The two houseguests evicted in the double eviction would face off against one another in a series of competitions, and the winner would return to the house as if they had never been evicted. This sent shockwaves throughout the house. Former allies and flirtmance Tempest and Marco faced off and in a controversial result Marco returned to the game. A few weeks later when Marco found himself on the block once again, Camerin had to choose between her former Marco's Angels alliance member, or her new alliance in the Black Widows. She ultimately chose the strategic option, and blindsided The Hustle at the eviction. Marco was not pleased.

Delaney Dial

## **Overview**

Delaney Dial was a houseguest on Big Brother 6.

Delaney had a hard time relating to her fellow houseguests on season six. She was widely disliked by almost everybody in the house, but managed to slide by because of her low threat level, the houseguests believing that she was socially and physically inept in the game. Delaney was nominated three times in the pre-jury phase of the game, in week two, three and in the double eviction, but she was able to narrowly survive each vote. After her brother's re-entry to the game, the two of them went on a winning streak in the early jury phase of the game. She became Head of Household in week seven and attempted to send home Arush Dalal, but her pawn Raydan Erikson was evicted instead. The following week her brother Declan Dial became the Head of Household, and when Ginny Hue used the Power of Veto on Preston Holbrook, Declan shocked the house and the world when he named Delaney as his replacement nominee. Declan believed that Delaney would survive the vote and he wanted a big and shocking move on his resume to make up for his early game eviction. But to his surprise Delaney was evicted in a 3-1 vote, and Declan followed her out the door in the double eviction that same night.

Luckily, Shane's target was a lot bigger than Riccardo's at this time, so Riccardo was able to survive the eviction vote with two pity votes for Shane to his name. The following week, Riccardo was on the outs of the house and was targeted by new Head of Household Erin Crumb. He was nominated against pawn Krista Shanks, and when Riccardo won the Silver Power of Veto, he set his sites on revenge.

Old School

**Old School** was an alliance from *Big Brother 7*. Consisting of Carol Size, Lauren Mosely, Robert Jenner and Marcus Frasier. The alliance was formed between the Big Brother and Big Brother 2 former houseguests, excluding Elizabeth Lloyd.

Old School was formed in the very first week of Big Brother All-Stars. Although Liz was the Head of Household. the alliance members decided against including her in the alliance, do to a lack of trust formed over the past several years. Carol won the Head of Household in week two and put the alliance in power. Carol formed a strong alliance with the winner of Big Brother 3, Mike Caddell. The two of them compared notes about the house and discovered with Carol's influence in Old School, and Mike's influence in the [[BB3 Alliance {BB7}]], they could take control of the game. The two of them called themselves The Evil Eye.

Mike became HOH in week three. Despite having close ties to Carol, Mike was threatened by the power the Old School alliance held in numbers and sought to knock one of them out. Mike had a strong friendship and ally in Lauren, who was a part of Old School. Mike approached Lauren at the beginning of the week to tell her that she was safe, but he had to knock out one of the Old School members. Lauren was hesitant but with no power, she gave him the green light. Mike nominated Marcus and Robert for eviction, with Robert being his target. At the POV competition, Robert was able to secure his safety and remove himself from the block. Mike decided to use fellow winner Lynn Chan as a pawn. The old-school alliance along with Rebecca Church, voted to keep Marcus, while the BB3 Alliance (BB7) and Season Sixers, along with Liz voted against him. Sending him home in a 5-4 vote.

Lauren became the following HOH. Lauren wanted to target Rebecca. Mike also suggested Rebecca and also suggested nominating somebody who was equally strong as a pawn, such as Robert who had won the POV a week prior. Lauren was hesitant to nominate a member of her alliance, but when she brought the idea up to the old-schoolers, Robert actually seemed okay with it. So she did just that and nominated Rebecca and Robert for eviction. After Rebecca removed herself from the blocl, and Liz took her place, most of the house was going in expecting the vote to tie, with Season Sixers and Carol & Rebecca voting to evict Liz, and on the other side the BB3 Alliance (BB7) along with Lynn voting Robert out of the house. The house was shocked when the vote came out 5-3, with Rebecca changing her vote to evict Robert after her and Lynn agreed not to give Lauren what she wants. Robert was evicted and the old-school alliance was officially dismantled.

Co-HOH Week

### Description

Two houseguests become the Heads of Household and each nominate one houseguest for eviction.

### Seasons

Big Brother 5

**Co-HOH** is a twist from *Big Brother 5*. The twist features two houseguests become the Heads of Household instead of the usual single HOH. The two houseguests each nominate one houseguest for eviction. If a nominee is saved by the Power of Veto, the HOH who nominated them selects a replacement nominee. At the end of the week the houseguests vote to evict one of the two nominees. Depending on the season, if there is a tie vote the Heads of Household who placed first in the HOH competition gets the final vote to evict between the nominees.

## Season 5

The twist was introduced in week three of Big Brother 5. The houseguests learned that the top two placers of the Head of Household competition would both be awarded with HOH power. In a Big Brother classic, the Selfie Comp, Rebecca Church and Cohen Lake placed first and second respectively and were named Co-HOH's for the week. Despite being in opposing alliances, the two of them decided the week would work easiest if they worked together on targeting a specific houseguest for eviction. They decided to target Dwayne Bright as he was rubbing most of the house the wrong way and it was the safest option, and after he lost the Power of Veto the rest of the house voted him out.
Carol & Rebecca

**Carol & Rebecca** were a final-two alliance from *Big Brother 7*.

In week two, Carol Size became the new Head of Household, placing herself and her Old School alliance in power. It was during this week that Carol would form a strong friendship with Rebecca Church, the two of them had similar backgrounds and pledged their allegiance to have each others backs throughout the season. Despite not knowing of the Old School alliance, Carol managed to have her main group of ally's along with Rebecca on the same page for majority of the pre-jury.

Carol & Rebecca would prove to be a powerful duo, winning back-to-back Head of Household competitions in weeks 7 & 8, and removing many targets from the house, such as Lauren Mosely, dismantling the BB3 Alliance (BB7), and breaking up the Season Sixers. It wasn't until the final six of the game that they would be looked at as serious targets.

At the final six of the All-Star season, fan favorite Arush became the new Head of Household for the first time this season. Himself and The Outlaws agreed that they wanted to blindside Carol this week, by nominating her as a "pawn" to get Lynn out of the house, but really vote to evict Carol. At the nomination ceremony, Arush put the plan into motion, nominating Carol who had been unnominated up until this point, and season four winner Lynn. The only thing that could throw a wrench in the plan, was Rebecca winning the Power of Veto, and at the competition that is exactly what happened. Rebecca held the golden Power of Veto was able to save Carol, solidifying their spots in the final five.

Rebecca shocked the world at the final four when she opted to use the Power of Veto on Carol instead of herself, leaving herself on the block and forcing Mike to sit beside her. In her speech she claimed "I keep hearing that I played a safe game and that I am scared to take any risks, or make any dangerous moves, I am one of the scariest players to play this game because of what I am about to do." It was in this moment that Mike knew his game had come to an end before it was even made official. Mike was evicted by Carol in fourth place and exited the house to a roaring applause. Although the move had mixed reception from the jury and the fans, Mike in a post-season interview stated "It was just dumb, it was risky sure, but just not a good move. If I wasn't such a threat Carol would've probably evicted her a\*\*. I guess it worked out in the end for her." about Rebecca's move.

The two women would eventually reach the final two. Where many believe Carol was robbed of her win but others believe Rebecca was a deserving winner.

Trevor Allen

Trevor Allen, season 3

## **Overview**

Trevor Allen was a houseguest on Big Brother 3

On season three, Trevor entered the game and quickly formed a close friendship with Montana Fetter and Noah Spencer. Trevor was on the block a total of four times in the season, and he never had a Power of Veto used on him, facing four eviction votes. In the first week he was named the replacement nominee after Donna McDonald shockingly used the silver Power of Veto to save Trevor's ally Noah. Trevor stayed in the vote against Casper Atoms and was in a good position for the first half of the game after that. Flying under the radar and becoming a valued member of The Coalition alliance. It wasn't until the second half of the season when Trevor would be faced with an uphill battle. He was nominated by Krista Shanks in the first double eviction of the franchise, and was turned on by his alliance member Jonah King, but stayed thanks to the rest of his alliance. The following week Mike Caddell used Trevor as a pawn to get Krista out of the house, and it was a successful plan, although Jonah voted him out, Trevor survived with two of three votes to stay. Trevor and Noah's duo alliance knew that Mike and Anna Mae were close and had a secret final two deal between them, so it came down to the final competitions of the season. When Trevor won his first Head of Household competition in the final five, he targeted Anna Mae, but when she won the golden Power of Veto, he had to choose between two allies, Mike and Noah. His original plan was to nominate Mike, but after a thorough convincing, and promises to take him to the final three, Trevor nominated his former final two alliance Noah. In the final four, after Anna Mae won the Head of Household it was Trevor and Noah on the block together with Mike as the sole vote. And despite his promises of final three, Mike stabbed Trevor in the back and sent him to the jury house.

Maria Cruz

## **Overview**

Maria Cruz was a houseguest on Big Brother 5, she is the younger sister of Paula Cruz from Big Brother 3.

Maria was a member of not only the "Populars" but of the trio of herself, Bobby Jenner and Clarity Mitchell. Although she had a strong bond with Bobby, herself and Clarity had a rocky relationship, having little to no trust until the later weeks of the game. Maria won Head of Household in week two and targeted Dwayne Bright for eviction, but when Rebecca Church and Diego Romano flipped the numbers against the twins, her pawn went home instead. This sparked the feud between herself and Rebecca that would last the entirety of the game. In week three she was nominated as the sole nominee by Rebecca Church, but was able to save herself with the veto. She was nominated by Rebecca again in week six against Cole Dristan, but was saved by her alliance and the others because Cole was more feared in the game. She won the following HOH and retaliated against Rebecca, but with Cohen Lake as her pawn, her alliance voted against her wishes in fear that Cohen would come after them, despite Maria bagging them to turn on Rebecca. This put a rift in the trio and caused Maria to make a final two deal with Sedric Quilliams. In the final five Maria finally got the last laugh when Clarity voted Rebecca out in the tie. At the final four after Sedric won Head of Household, Maria knew she was on the bottom of the trio and would be sent home if she didn't win the veto. Sadly for her, Clarity won the Power of Veto and chose to take Bobby with her to the final three. Maria finished in fourth place.
