## Twists

* **Natural Disasters-** Each week for 8 weeks, the house was struck with a different Natural Disaster causing a different theme-related twist each week.
	+ **Week 1: Tornado-** Backwards Week
		- **Backwards Week-** The week was played in reverse. The houseguests all voted for two people who they wanted to be on the block. Which ever two houseguests got the most votes were nominated. Everyone then played in the veto competition where the winner had the option to save one of those two nominees. If either of the nominees were saved, the whole house, except the remaining nominee, would vote on who would be the replacement. Everyone except the 2 nominees then played in the HOH competition where the winner cast the sole vote to evict.
	+ **Week 2: Tsunami-** Instant Eviction
		- **Instant Eviction-** The week was played without a veto competition.
	+ **Week 3: Volcanic Eruption-** Eviction Veto
		- **Eviction Veto-** The POV was replaced by the eviction veto. Whoever held the eviction veto cast the sole vote for one of the nominees to be evicted.
	+ **Week 4: Earthquake-** Split Houses
		- **Split Houses-** The remaining cast was split into 2 and separated into 2 houses. They could not interact with anyone from the other house. Each house had its own HOH, POV, nominations, and eviction. The two evicted houseguests then competed in a competition where the winner would remain in the house.
	+ **Week 5: Plague-** Purge
		- **Plague-** The HOH winner selected someone, that person would select another, that person would select another, and so on. The last houseguest to be picked was evicted.
	+ **Week 6: Sinkhole-** Pre-Jury Battleback
		- **Pre-Jury Battleback-** The evicted houseguests all competed in a competition. The winner returned to the game.
	+ **Week 7: Blizzard-** No Communication
		- **No Communication-** Houseguests were blocked from talking in the living room, dining room, one-on-one chats, and alliance chats.
	+ **Week 8: Avalanche-** Live Double & Revealed Votes
		- **Live Double-** After Week 8's first evictee was moved out of the house, the houseguests participated in a live HOH and POV with live ceremonies, sending two people home in one night.
		- **Revealed Votes-** After votes were cast, they were read off to the houseguests, exposing who voted for who.

## Game History

### Week 1

Week 1 was the first week of Big Brother 13, as well as the first week of Era 3. The Natural Disasters twist was revealed in Week 1 and it was revealed that a tornado was about to hit the Big Brother house. The tornado shook the house out of order and caused a Backwards Week. The houseguests voted for Goosling and Vynce (with some stray votes going to Alyssa, Cade, and Rishabh) to end up on the block. Kai pulled off the first competition win of the season, winning the POV. He chose to keep nominees the same. Shortly after, Isaac was able to win the HOH and cast his sole vote to evict on Goosling because he seemed to be the less active of the two.
