**Double Evictions** are a recurring twist throughout DeSales Big Brother.

A double eviction is an week in which two HouseGuests are evicted on eviction night, instead of one. The bulk of the week takes place as normal-- however, on eviction night, the HouseGuests are informed that after the (first) vote and eviction takes place, the HouseGuests will be forced to play a week's worth of Big Brother in a single night.

In Big Brother lingo, the term "double eviction" usually refers to the act of playing a week's worth of the game in one night. There have been times where two eviction cycles take place within seven days (typically in the final week of the season), but these instances are not normally referred to as double evictions.

This is also not to be confused with 2-in-1 Week, which is a week where two eviction cycles take place simultaneously.

## Details

A double eviction is an eviction night where, after the (first) eviction takes place as normal, the HouseGuests are forced to play a week's worth of Big Brother in a single night. After the conclusion of the first eviction, the HouseGuests are thrown into an HOH competition, followed by a nominations ceremony, a Veto competition, a Veto meeting, and an eviction vote. The HouseGuests only have a few minutes to talk or strategize in between each of these events. The night ends with a second HouseGuest being evicted.

The HouseGuests are not informed in advance that a given week is a double eviction week; they find out that night, right before the first eviction vote. (However, if the HouseGuests know the end date of the season, they may be able to infer that a double eviction is coming depending on how many HouseGuests are left.)

## History

The double eviction first appeared during CSW Big Brother at the final six. After Emma Donahue was evicted, Lucia Pastor won the HOH, and her closest ally, Evan Graham, won the Power of Veto. Though Jaydon Reap was initially Lucia's target, Evan insisted that he was going to use the Veto on Mariam Fostok to gain her trust, as well as so Lucia could put Shivani Mehta on the block as a replacement. Evan chose to save Mariam with the Veto, and Lucia followed through and nominated Shivani. Evan then voted with Mariam to evict Shivani over Jaydon in a 2-1 vote, blindsiding her.

In DeSales Big Brother 1, the double eviction occurred at the final seven. Following Grace Bowmaster's eviction, Dillon Parish won HOH in the tie breaking round. He nominated Izzy Criscuolo and Nicole Balistrere, with Nicole as his preferred target. However, Nicole won the Power of Veto, and so he nominated Sammi Stec next to Izzy with no clear target. Ultimately, Sammi had the numbers thanks to the Final Three Girls, so Izzy was evicted in a 3-1 vote.

In DeSales Big Brother 2, the double eviction took place at the final six, after Josh Schwirtz was evicted. PJ Moran won HOH and nominated Gabby Kmetz and Kylie Menow. Sam Eroh won the Power of Veto and used it on Kylie, hoping to get PJ to nominate Megan Dean as the replacement. However, PJ was most loyal to Megan, so he nominated Moriah as a pawn instead. Gabby was then evicted by a 3-0 vote.

DeSales Big Brother: All-Stars was the first season to feature two double evictions-- one at the final eight, and one at the final five. On Day 30, after Bobby Rice's eviction, Molly Hofstaedter won HOH and nominated Kylie Menow and Lucia Pastor, with Kylie as her target. The Love Laugh Ligma alliance wanted to flip the vote to save Kylie and evict Lucia; however, Lucia won the Power of Veto and used on herself, forcing Molly to name a replacement nominee. She chose to nominate Gabby Kmetz after she volunteered to go up as a pawn. Though Evan Graham and Moriah Wilt still voted to save Kylie, Nicole Balistrere opted to stick with the house's plan and voted Kylie out, resulting in Kylie being evicted by a 3-2 vote.

At the second double eviction on Day 44, after Evan Graham left the house, Lucia won Head of Household. She nominated Moriah as her target, and Gabby as her pawn. Lucia also won the Power of Veto, and chose to keep nominations the same. Molly and Sammi stayed loyal to the Fab Four alliance by saving Gabby, and evicting Moriah in a 2-0 vote.
