Big Brother Cheesecake 4: Office Wars

## Background

The fourth season of Big Brother Cheesecake started on April 14, 2020. This is the first season to take place in the first half of the year, having been pushed forward due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The theme for this season was Office Wars, with twists and competitions shaped around popular TV show The Office.

The season ended on July 7, 2020, with Brazil beating Lindsay in a 4-3 vote.

## Twists

* **Teams:** The 16 players were divided into four teams representing four departments in Dunder Mifflin: Accounting, Customer Service, Sales and Warehouse. Each week, the HoH's team members would be safe from eviction.

 **Warehouse** | Curtis, Jack, Lisa, Marcin

* **The Mole:** One of the sixteen houseguests is the Mole. They are tasked to create as much drama in the house as possible. Their mission is to get themselves evicted within the first five weeks. If successful, neither nominee will be evicted that week and the Mole becomes a regular player in the game. They automatically become the next Head of Household and trigger a Double Eviction. If the Mole fails, the eviction on week 5 is canceled and the Mole is evicted instead.
* **Prank or No Prank:** Each week, one or two houseguests would randomly be tempted to eat one of twelve Jell-O cups. Six of the Jell-O cups contain something bad, and six something good. If a tempted player failed to decide on a flavor, they would automatically be given one of the bad ones. If a tempted player refused the temptation, they would still be asked to choose a flavor of Jell-O, which would be taken out of contention.
	+ **Last Draw:** With 2 Jell-Os left on week 9, players were divided into 3 zones: 1) Players who had not been drawn yet; 2) Players who had been drawn and accepted the temptation; 3) Players who had been drawn and declined the temptation. If any Jell-Os left were not picked by people from zone 1, then the people in zone 2 had a chance to accept the temptation. If nobody in zone 2 took it, then the players in zone 3 got a shot at the Jell-Os.

### Notes

1. ↑      Members of the HoH's team earned safety each week. The team twist ended on week 10.
2. ↑      Ryan earned safety until jury at the Prank or No Prank twist on week 3. It was effective weeks 4 and 6.
3. ↑  Cat drew a Prank on week 5 and was ineligible to vote for three evictions: week 5's and week 6's, counting double as it was a Double Eviction week.
4. ↑      Ashley was The Mole and failed to get herself evicted within the first five weeks. Therefore, week 5's eviction was canceled and Ashley was evicted instead.
5. ↑ Week 6 was a Double Eviction week. The Head of Household nominated 4 people. The two nominees with the highest amount of votes were evicted.
6. ↑      The Power of Veto this week was a Topaz Power of Veto. CJ was forced to use it on one of the nominees, and there would be no replacement.
7. ↑      Ryan originally won Head of Household, but CJ used her Emerald Power of Veto to veto the results of the competition. At the random draw to choose a new winner, Lindsay was picked and became Head of Household.
8. ↑      Curtis used the Poo Brown Power of Veto on week 9, saving Marcin from the block and nominating himself as replacement.
9. ↑      Lindsay's PoV in week 10 was upgraded to a Diamond Power of Veto and she had the right to save a nominee and name a replacement herself. She decided not to use it.
