Dirty Dozen 2

***Big Brother: Dirty Dozen 2*** is an Online Reality Game based loosely on the North American version of *Big Brother* and the second in the *Dirty Dozen* series.

The season ended after 70 days with Will as the winner, and Dayle and Mandy the runners-up. This season featured two new competitions, the Superpower and Ultimatum. The season also introduced a final three facing the jury.

## Development

    A second season was announced on November 6, 2016. Development began after the finale of *Big Brother: Dirty Dozen* with a release date of 2017. It was confirmed that six additional competitions would be included and that the season theme of a "darker, city landscape filled with vigilante activity" implying the theme of superheroes and villains. The Production team liked the idea of houseguests being granted superpowers and whether or not those abilities when available for everyone to get would turn them into the aforementioned alignments. Interviews took place from 2 January to 20 January, 2017 and the cast being revealed in three groups of five across 27, 28 and 29 January 2017. Scott, a confirmed houseguest withdrew the day prior to the commencement of the season. He was replaced with Ashley. The houseguests officially began the game on January 30th, 2017 at 11:20am (EST) all the competitions this season are named after, or are homages to, the superhero genre. The game completed production in 42 days.

## Format

The contestants, referred to as "houseguests," take part in several compulsory challenges that determine who will win luxuries and power in the house. At the start of each week, the houseguests compete in the Head of Household (HoH) competition. The winner of the HoH competition will select two houseguests to be nominated for eviction. Alongside the HoH competition, for the first five weeks the houseguests will have the option to compete in a non-mandatory competition; Superpower, to win abilities that could change the course of the game. Each week, six houseguests are selected to compete in the Power of Veto (PoV) competition: the reigning HoH, their two nominees and three houseguests selected by random draw. The winner of the PoV competition wins the right to either revoke the nomination of one of the nominated houseguests or leave them as is; if the veto winner uses this power, the HoH must immediately nominate another houseguest for eviction. The PoV winner is also immune from being named as the replacement nominee. The Have-nots for this season will have their eviction vote made public. On eviction night, all houseguests vote to evict one of the two nominees, with the exception of the nominees and the Head of Household, who is only allowed to vote in the event of a tie, in which case they must do so publicly. In addition the Head of Household will control any votes by houseguests not voting in time, the houseguests vote will remain a secret to them if their vote is controlled. This compulsory vote is conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room. Unlike most other versions of Big Brother, the houseguests may openly and freely discuss the nomination and eviction process. The nominee with the majority of votes will be evicted, after which the cycle begins again. Houseguests may voluntarily leave the game at any time and those who break the rules may be expelled from the house. The last seven evicted houseguests will form the Big Brother jury and vote for the winner during the season finale. The jury members will be sequestered away from the competing houseguests and be granted access to view competitions and ceremonies that include all of the remaining houseguests; the jury members will not be shown any Diary Room interviews or any footage that may include strategy or details regarding nominations.

As the game takes place online, houseguests communicate with each other primarily through the application Skype that provides voice, video and text messaging. A group is created for the houseguests known as the "house" though other group conversations are created away from the main group for alliances and/or in-game events that require a fewer amount of houseguests involved.

* **Day 1 Eviction**: Houseguests were told about a special "Hit the Road" competition whereby the four houseguests that weren't given an Immunity Key or were given a Nomination Key by a fellow houseguest would go into an immediate eviction without the opportunity to compete for Power of Veto.
* **Superpower Competition**: An optional competition introduced on day 2 whereby houseguests have an opportunity to earn a superpower that can shape the game with the identity of the winner being hidden until such a time a superpower is exercised.

## Houseguests

Fifteen houseguests were chosen to compete this season, an increase of two from the previous installment.

## Game Summary

The fifteen houseguests were separated into three groups of five before moving into the *Dirty Dozen* house. Aaron, Connor, Dayle, Gerardo and Will were the

     first group, Amanda, Anthony, Chris, Dustin and Mandy were the second group and Ashley, Corey, Shannon, Woods and Zachary were the final group. On day one the houseguests officially entered the *Dirty Dozen* house and competed in the *With Great Power* "Hit The Road" competition where houseguests are given the choice to protect another with an Immunity Key in the hopes of having the favor returned or using a Nomination Key against a houseguest who would automatically face the first eviction and by doing so would earn immunity for themselves. The house opted against the Immunity Keys and instead Zachary nominated Ashley, Mandy nominated Shannon, Dayle nominated Chris and Amanda nominated Gerardo. At the eviction the houseguests were instructed to vote to save as opposed to evict and when the results were announced both Ashley and Chris were saved in a 6-5-0-0 vote however as Gerardo and Shannon earned no votes to save it would be the duty of Ashley as the highest vote earner to determine the first person evicted and after listening to the houses preference chose Shannon to leave.

On day two the houseguests were introduced to the *Heroes for Hire* Superpower competition where houseguests must create the most valuable word alongside the *Countdown to Infinite Crisis* Head of Household competition where the houseguests must complete a speed based task. Will won the Speedster Superpower and Dustin won HoH, selecting Gerardo, Will and Woods as Have-Nots. Moments later, Will revealed to the houseguests of his victory and played his ability, becoming immune at the cost of losing his eviction vote. At the nomination ceremony, Dustin selected Gerardo for being on everyone's bad side and Mandy as a pawn. At the picking players meeting, Connor, Will and Woods were randomly drawn to join the HoH and nominees for the *Comic Code* Power of Veto where houseguests would be presented with several images of the Dirty Dozen logo with three of them hiding coded puzzles, if after thirty minutes they have not secured all three they can buy a puzzle for a penalty. Woods was the winner and at the Veto meeting he honored a deal made with the HoH and did not use the veto. At the eviction, Gerardo accepted his inevitable fate, apologized and gained the respect of the house before becoming the second evicted in a 10-0 vote.

Immediately following the eviction all houseguests with the exception of Dustin competed in Head of Household and were randomly drafted into two teams; **#TeamJosh** consisted of Aaron, Ashley, Chris, Connor, Will and Zach whilst **#TeamKate** consisted of Amanda, Anthony, Corey, Dayle, Mandy and Woods and competed in the *Civil War* HoH competition where both teams create a barricade and hide the opposing side flag - the first person on whichever team to locate their flag would win HoH and grant immunity for the rest of their team, the losing team will become Have-Nots. Dustin as the outgoing HoH will back one team and enjoy the perks or punishments respectively, choosing #TeamKate. The second Superpower competition; *Thunderbolt Toss* tasked the competing houseguests to distribute thirteen thunderbolts among the rest of the players, the houseguest with the most thunderbolts wins. Dayle won the Super Safety superpower and Aaron for #TeamJosh won HoH and kept his team safe whilst Dustin and #TeamKate became Have-Nots. At the nomination ceremony, Aaron nominated Corey for a lack of participation for his team and Mandy based on communication prior to the draft. In the lead up to the POV, Corey became abrasive to houseguests and staff and wanted to quit. After discussion with Big Brother Corey was ejected for his behavior, cancelling the planned eviction and Aaron's HoH reign.

After an unexpected day off, Houseguests convened for the *Comic Strip* HoH where houseguests will face-off in wearing and removing a set amount of clothing in the fastest time. Dayle was the winner and following this the *Comic Strip Question* Superpower competition occurred where the houseguests have the option to answer a question based on the season so far in the fastest time. Dustin won the Time Master superpower. At the nomination ceremony, Dayle chose Chris based on communication and the uncertainty of his position and Ashley without providing a reason. Amanda, Connor and Will were randomly drawn to compete in the PoV competition; *Great Power - The Dawn of Veto* where houseguests would vote for the person they believed wouldn't be able to complete a physical task, as a twist, the person with the most votes would then choose another to duel with. The losing person on each round would be eliminated. Amanda was the winner and during the Veto meeting Amanda berated Chris for making deals with the entire house and Ashley for making an inappropriate comment during the PoV then chose to not use the Veto. At the eviction ceremony, Chris became the next person evicted in a 9-0 decision.

The next HoH competition; *The Infinity Gauntlet* saw the houseguests move around a hexagonal board to accumulate enough space and eliminate everyone else whilst doing so. In a twist, the first houseguest to reach the center would determine the Have-Nots for the week. Woods won HoH whilst Zachary reached the center of the board and made Aaron, Ashley and Dayle Have-Nots. The superpower competition *Arrow* had houseguests shoot twenty arrows on a fifty-five square target, the houseguest with the highest score without crossing paths with another will win. Dayle won the Cold Snap superpower. At the nomination ceremony, Woods nominated Aaron for him to experience a PoV competition after his HoH reign abruptly ended was confident that he wouldn't be a target and Ashley for the only time he hears from her is when she is nominated or asking for a vote. Dayle, Zachary and Connor were picked to join in the next PoV competition; *Speedforce* which tasked the houseguests to complete a number of puzzles based on the app "Flow Free" in the fastest time. Dayle was the winner and chose to keep nominations the same and at the eviction the house once again voted as a unit by sending Aaron home in an 8-0 vote.

Following Aaron's eviction the remaining houseguests were notified of reaching the jury and competed in the HoH competition; *Spidey Senses* where houseguests collect 110 gallons of spilled super safety into a bio-hazard container with the HoH also determining Have-Nots alongside the final Superpower competition; *SubZero* with the houseguests navigating a maze in the fastest time. Will won the Paralysis superpower. Zachary won the HoH and chose Amanda, Ashley, Connor and Dustin to be Have-Nots. At the nomination ceremony, Zachary told the house that after being offered several deals made his decision based on his game and nominated Connor and Woods for being friends in the game, worried that they would have nominated himself had either won HoH and earlier talk of a backdoor plan during Woods' reign last week where he was one of the potential options. Dustin, Mandy and Will were randomly drawn to take part in the PoV; *On The Bullseye* to count a number of symbols within a twenty second time frame. Woods defeated Connor in the final round to win his second veto and removed himself from the block. Forced with a replacement nominee, Anthony was nominated for being a strategic threat and a likely candidate to win the game. At the eviction Anthony was voted off in a 6-1 decision.

At the sixth HoH competition; *Fortress of Solitude* the houseguests must build a three-tier house of cards each round the fastest (or have the highest tower after five minutes) to eliminate one person from the competition. Ashley was the winner. At the nomination ceremony, Woods was chosen for his comments during the HoH competition and Connor for communication and a supposed alliance with Woods. Mandy, Will and Zachary were randomly drawn to compete in the Power of Veto; *Enhanced Memory* where the houseguests will answer questions based on two situations in the game so far and whether the first situation happened before or after the second. Zachary was the winner and chose not to use the veto. At the eviction, the houseguests once again united in their vote to eliminate Woods in a 6-0 decision becoming the second juror.

After Woods' eviction the houseguests were informed that at the end of week seven a double eviction would occur. The next HoH competition; *One Above All* tasked the houseguests to accumulate enough time on a podium but once they were pushed they could not earn more time. Will was the winner and nominated Dustin for being the biggest threat in the game and Zachary in an effort to prevent him from winning the PoV and using it on Dustin. At the picking players meeting, Amanda, Connor and Dayle were drawn to compete in the Power of Veto; *The Eye of Agamotto* where houseguests must guess what is outstanding in an image. Zachary won, vetoed himself and forced to name a replacement, Will chose Connor. In the lead-up to the eviction, Dustin called out the houseguests especially highlighting Will as the person to beat and when the votes were announced, Dustin was evicted in a 5-0 decision. After a small break, Dayle played her Super Safety Superpower and protected Amanda alongside Will playing his Paralysis Superpower on Zachary therefore paralyzing him from competing in the HoH and PoV. The double eviction commenced and the HoH; *Riddlers Delight* had the houseguests decipher a math puzzle using a variety of different combinations that would reduce every few minutes. Amanda was the winner and nominated Connor and Zachary, the houseguests then took part in the *Rogues Gallery* Power of Veto to complete a sliding puzzle of the eight previously eliminated houseguests. Amanda won, securing full power for the week and opted not to use the veto. At the eviction, Zachary was evicted in a 4-0 vote.

The next Head of Household competition; *School for Gifted Houseguests* pitted the houseguests in a series of locked rooms and answer questions based on the last seven weeks of the game. Will won and at the nomination ceremony he chose Ashley and Connor for eviction. With six houseguests remaining everybody automatically qualified for the Power of Veto; *Two-Two-Faced* to decipher a number of previously evicted houseguests merged together each round. Will won the competition and chose not to use it and at the eviction Connor was voted out 3-0.

The next day following Connor's eviction the houseguests competed in the *Time Masters* Head of Household competition to hang onto a wall for as long as possible, each houseguest is also given a **Time Master** superpower to rewind the competition and start again at a certain point if they fall prematurely. Amanda won after ten hours and nominated Ashley and Mandy citing the power this week is determined by the Power of Veto. At the PoV; *Houseguests Assemble* the houseguests would see a number of houseguests grayed out on a memory wall and figure out what connects them, the houseguest with the most points after ten rounds wins. Will won and at the Veto ceremony outed his alliance with Amanda, Dayle and Mandy with his intention to evict Ashley and did not use the veto. At the eviction, Ashley was sent to the jury in a 2-0 decision.

Following Ashley's eviction the houseguests were told of the final twist as outlined on day one; **Ultimatum** where the final four will compete in a three-part HoH style competition with the winner of each round advancing to the final three and the loser of the final competition evicted and sent to the jury. The first Ultimatum competition; *The Last Stand* had the houseguests take part in tasks whilst standing on or away from a chair. Will won, advancing to the finale. The second Ultimatum *These Webs We Weave* had the houseguests piecing together a webbed puzzle of the previous competitions and determine if they happened before or after in the chain. Mandy won and advanced to the finals. In the final competition of the season; *True Believers!* both Amanda and Dayle had to choose if a statement made by a juror during previous evictions was one or the other, after four rounds Dayle advanced, evicting Amanda as the final member of the jury.

At the finale, Mandy won Dustin's vote, Dayle won the votes of Amanda, Connor and Anthony and Will won the votes of Woods, Zachary and Ashley forcing a tie between himself and Dayle. As Mandy placed third with the lowest votes to win she became the final juror and cast her vote for Will and was declared the winner of Big Brother: Dirty Dozen 2 with Dayle as the runner-up whilst Anthony was revealed to be the Favorite Juror beating Woods, Zachary and Amanda in the public vote.
