Big Brother 3 (U.S.)

**Big Brother 3 (U.S.)** is the 3rd season of the broadcast edition of *Big Brother (U.S.)* and the 3rd season overall.

## Twists

* **Duos:** The houseguests would be in a duo with a loved one. The HOH every week would not be able to nominate their partner. They would nominate 1 duo and the POV winner has the chance to either save the duo or discard. The house would evict one member of the duo and the other person would get a golden key and be immune until the twist ends. This means they also cannot compete in HOH or POV and cannot be Have-Nots.
* **Battle Back:** The first 5 evicted houseguests would battle it out in a tournament to return to the game.
* **Double Eviction -** On Week 7, a double eviction took place, meaning a whole week of gameplay would happen in less than an hour.
* **Triple Eviction -** On Week 10, a triple eviction took place, meaning a whole week of gameplay would happen in less than an hour.
