## Story

### Premiere

A cast of 14 everyday Americans will be moving into a house where they will live, recorded 24/7, and periodically vote each other out in order to get closer to the half-million dollar prize. On-stage, the first 7 houseguests are joined by the host, Olivia Collins. They’re introduced as so:

* Chris Gordon, a 27 year old realtor from Chicago, who’s noted to be the ‘strategic mastermind’ of his friend group
* Becca Lewis, a 20 year old art student from Ann Arbor, who’s unabashed to be herself
* Haley Wilson, a 27 year old waiter from Corpus Christi who’s ready to change her simple life for the better
* Reanna Ma, a 26 year old copy editor from Staten Island, who notices small details and will use her skill to better herself in the game
* John Hamlin, a 39 year old therapist from Chicago, who is willing to use whatever psychology possible to win
* Brayden Johnson, a 24 year old sports medicine student and roller coaster operator from Anaheim, who loves fun and can’t wait to chill with like-minded people
* Donathan Nolans, a 23 year old streamer from Seattle, who plans to wiggle into a big alliance and coast through the game

After their intro clips, Olivia calls the first four into the house: Brayden, Chris, Haley, and Reanna. Brayden is the first to enter, followed by Haley and Chris, while Reanna enters last. Brayden is stoked to be in the house, while Chris and Reanna go to claim their beds first. John, Becca, and Donathan are called next, and follow. John notes in the Diary Room that the cast seems mixed, with a group of happy-go-lucky people, being the younger ones, and the more calm and composed, being the older ones, with Haley in the middle.

After a commercial break, the other 7 houseguests stand on the stage, and are also introduced:

* Alec Norman, a 28 year old P.E. teacher from Houston, who feels like he can easily get to the end with competition wins alone
* Kim Reichenbach, a 32 year old lab technician from Santa Monica, who wants to take a calm approach to the game
* Sadie Hall, a 44 year old stay-at-home mom from Peoria, who wants to be the mom of the house and make connections to outlast those less social
* Sara Park, a 22 year old webcomic artist from Los Angeles, who wants to have fun more than win the game
* Taylor Pham, a 23 year old anthropology student from Panama City, who also works as his school’s mascot and has an infectious personality
* Jackson Michaels, a 29 year old author from Manhattan, who is determined to win no matter what
* Amanda Lopez, a 25 year old social media manager from San Francisco, who isn’t afraid to be the mean girl of the house and call people out

 The next four to be called to enter are Taylor, Jackson, Amanda, and Sadie. Amanda criticizes the other houseguests in her first DR, while Jackson is immediately strategizing. Sara, Kim, and Alec are the final three to enter, and all 14 houseguests are called to the living room. Olivia tells the house that the first Head of Household competition will be held soon, but lets them introduce each other first.

### HOH Competition

 After introductions, the first competition was announced to be ‘Hangin’ On’. The houseguests must hold onto a slowly rotating pillar while paint would periodically be sprayed at them. The last houseguest remaining would be the first HOH of the summer. After 50 minutes, Alec managed to hold on longer than Jackson, becoming the first HOH. Additionally, the first 4 to drop would become have-nots, who would sleep in worse beds, eat worse foods, and take worse showers. These four would be Sadie, John, Sara, and Becca.

 After the competition, Alec, Jackson, Haley, Amanda, Chris, and Brayden were all in the HOH suite. In the DR, Jackson stressed the importance of having an alliance in the game. Jackson proposes a deal to the other 5, which they all accepted. In the DR, Alec noted how fast the game accelerated, while Chris said he was a bit cautious of the alliance, with how little he knew of everyone. Brayden would come up with the alliance's name, pitching The Marauders. Later, after everyone else left, Jackson told Alec of an additional deal, which was them as a final 2. Alec told him that he would be down for it.

 In the backyard, Kim and Sadie talk. Kim fears that they’d be targets due to their age, while Sadie relaxes her, stating that John and Chris would be older than her, and thus earlier targets. Kim points out that Sadie is the eldest of the house, but Sadie doesn’t mind. In the DR, Sadie says that she feels a connection with Kim, and wants to make sure neither leaves. Reanna soon joins the two, apologizing to Sadie for her being a have-not. Sadie brushes it off, and asks what Reanna thinks of the game so far. Reanna states that it’s too early to see the dynamics of the house, but feels comfortable in her position. Sadie and Kim both say that they feel the same, when Kim brings up that they should form an alliance together. Reanna states in the DR that she feels good with both women, but would rather keep her options open for a while. However, she, along with Sadie, accepts Kim’s agreement, forming The Golden Girls.

### Nomination Ceremony

 The nomination ceremony begins, with Alec stating that he, as HOH, must nominate two houseguests for eviction. His nominations are revealed to be John and Donathan. He apologizes, and states he feels the least connected with the two. John nods, while Donathan is more upset. In the DR, he swears that if he wins HOH, Alec will be a nomination. Kim is relieved to not be nominated, but does feel sorry for both nominees. Soon after, the players for the Power of Veto competition are chosen, being Sadie, Jackson, and Taylor.

### Power of Veto Competition

 The Power of Veto competition is ‘Spell it Out’. Houseguests would have to go through obstacles to find letters in order to spell a word. The word with the highest point value would win. Donathan would win the Power of Veto, and would celebrate in the DR. In the Power of Veto ceremony, Donathan would save himself, while Alec would put up Sadie, also with the reasoning of not being close. After the ceremony, Kim would be comforting Sadie in the have-not room. In the DR, Sadie understands why she was nominated, but says that she won’t go home first, and will make sure of it.

 Later on in the week, Chris and Jackson talk about the vote. Jackson wants to go after John, due to him being a therapist and likely more aware of the social game then others. Chris points out that Sadie would also be a good option to vote out, due to her motherly vibe that could prove to be dangerous in the social game. In the DR, Chris still is wary of the alliance he is in, but does trust Jackson. In the end, Chris agrees to vote out John, with Jackson leaving to inform the rest of the alliance.

 At the pool, Brayden, Taylor, and Donathan are all hanging out, sharing crazy stories. Brayden tells everyone of all the insane things that have happened at the amusement park he works at, while Donathan shares some incidents that he has had with viewers. Soon after, John enters the backyard, but unintentionally kills the vibe, trying to fit in with the younger men. In the DR, Don notes how awkward and unhip John is, while John states that he needs to be more social in order to stay.

### Live Eviction

 The eviction begins, with both Sadie and John making their speeches. Sadie states that she will be loyal to whoever keeps her in the house, while John says he will be a valuable asset in mental competitions. Olivia then calls the house one by one to the Diary Room to vote, beginning with Haley. Soon after, the votes are revealed. With a unanimous vote of 11 to 0, John has been evicted. He says his quick goodbyes, and leaves uneventfully. On the stage, John notes how he should have been more social, and should have talked to Alec immediately.
