Big Brother: California

**Big Brother: California** (aka **Big Brother: All-Stars**) is the seventh season of the *Big Brother United States* series.

## Twists

* General
* Stars in the Making
* Prequel Movies

* **All-Stars**: For the second time in the series' history, all of the Houseguests featured originally competed within previous seasons, specifically the first six seasons.
* **Stars in the Making**: Over the course of the season, the Houseguests will play the game in separate phases, each with a different format requiring the Houseguests to adapt their gameplay.
* **Prequel Movies**: Beginning in the "Callbacks" Phase of the game, twists from previous seasons would be brought back and put into play for a short time.
* **Second Big Break**: Following the Cycle 8 eviction, all previously evicted Houseguests (excluding unplanned exits) had the chance to return to the game during the HOH competition. The highest-scoring Pre-Juror won the right to return to the game and immunity for the cycle, and the highest-scoring competitor overall would become Head of Household.
* **Expanded Finale**: Instead of the normal Final 3 Head of Household and Final 2 facing the Jury, the final *four* Houseguests would compete for the Final Head of Household, the loser of part 3 would be safe, the winner of part 3 would evict one of the nominees, and the final *three* Houseguests would face the Jury.

* **Audition Pairs**: Houseguests will be randomly paired up, where they will operate and navigate the game as a team. Each cycle, one pair of Houseguests will win Head of Household and will nominate two separate of Houseguests for eviction. Four pairs of Houseguests will compete in the POV competition (the Heads of Household, the nominee pairs, and one pair selected by random draw), where one whole pair will win POV and may use it to save one pair from eviction. Pairs of Houseguests will then vote together to evict one of the nominated pairs.
* **Callbacks**: Keeping their partners from the "Audition Pairs" Phase of the game, Houseguests would now be playing a much more individual game. If either person won HOH, both members would be safe from nomination. Conversely, the HOH could only nominate an entire pair. The Power of Veto, if used, would remove an entire pair, causing the HOH to have to nominate another pair. Eviction votes would also revert to their individual form. Surviving nominees will then either choose a new partner or remain alone. Whomever is left alone afterwards will then face the Star of Fate, which will result in either automatic nomination or immunity for the next cycle. If there are an even number of Houseguests remaining after an eviction, no Star of Fate will occur.
* **Group Read**: Pairs would be broken up and Houseguests would be divided into teams of four. Each week, the Head of Household's teammates were safe from eviction. At the eviction, the surviving nominee(s) may choose to either stay on their team or replace anyone from any other team.
* **On the Big Screen**: Teams would be broken up and Houseguests would play the game individually and as normal.

* **Veto Vote**: Returning from *Big Brother: Pennsylvania*, the Houseguests will vote anonymously for what kind of POV will show up instead of the regular Power of Veto. The Houseguests would vote prior to the Nomination Ceremony, and the chosen POV variant would be announced immediately prior to the POV results. The choices were as follows:
	+ *Déjà Veto*: The Houseguest who wins the Déjà-Veto will have the ability to use the Power of Veto *after* the Head of Household has named their replacement nominee pair. If they choose to do so, the HOH must then nominate a third pair of Houseguests for eviction.
	+ *Crystal Veto*: The Houseguest who wins the Crystal Veto, if they decide to veto the nominee pair, will name the replacement nominee pair instead of the Head of Household.
	+ *Ghost Veto*: The Houseguest who wins the Power of Veto would remain anonymous, however their power would remain the same. If the Ghost Veto was used, the entire nominee pair would be removed from the block and the Head of Household would have to nominate another pair as per usual. If the Head of Household attempted to nominate the Veto Holder and their partner, they would have to name another pair as replacement nominees.
	+ *Holo-Veto*: The Houseguest who wins the Holo-Veto **MUST** save a nominee from the block, but *only* one. The Head of Household will then nominate any Houseguest of their choosing, forcing the nominees to be paired up along with the Vetoed nominee and the abandoned Houseguest.
	+ *Quartz Veto*: The Houseguest who wins the Quartz Veto will have be granted safety as per usual, but their partner will not be safe. In the event the Veto is used, the Head of Household may nominate two Houseguests from **ANY PAIR**, including the Veto Holder's partner. Any ex-partners of nominees will not be paired up--instead they will be re-paired after the eviction.
	+ *Spiral Veto*: The Houseguest who wins the Power of Veto will have the decision to use the Spiral Veto or not. If used, the Spiral Veto would randomly select how many nominees would be saved from eviction and which ones. The same number of replacement nominees would then also be randomized. If the Veto is not used, the nominations would stay the same as normal.
* **Walk of Fame Star**: Adapted from *Big Brother: Florida*, the Houseguests may compete in an optional Luxury Competition to earn a secret power in the game.
* **BB Rodeo**: Returning from *Big Brother: Texas*, whoever won the Head of Household competition would choose three Houseguests to compete in a new competition, the Rodeo. These three Houseguests could not be nominated for eviction pre-Veto, but were eligible for nomination post-POV. They would also compete in a competition head-to-head-to-head; the winner would earn safety for the entire cycle, second place would lose their eviction vote, and last place would be automatically nominated for eviction. If the Rodeo Nominee were to be Vetoed at the Veto Meeting, the Head of Household would name the replacement nominee.
* **Saboteur**: Returning from *Big Brother: Arizona*, one of the Houseguests had a duty to sabotage the game each week. If the Saboteur survived for the next 5 cycles, they would receive immunity for the following cycle.
* **Bad Blood**: Returning from *Big Brother: Tennessee*, all Houseguests are eligible for Head of Household, including the previous Head of Household. However, this Head of Household must nominate *five* of their fellow Houseguests for eviction. Then the Head of Household and those five nominees will be the only Houseguests participating in the Power of Veto competition. Whoever wins the Power of Veto *must* use it on two of the nominees, leaving three remaining nominees. There will be no replacement nominations made. Then the remaining Houseguests will vote to save one of the nominees, resulting in the two Houseguests with the fewest save votes to be evicted and sent to Jury.
* **Co-HOH**: Returning from *Big Brother: Nevada*, two Heads of Household will be crowned at the HOH competition. Each one will be responsible for nominating one Houseguest for eviction, and will name the replacement nominee if their original nominee is saved. Neither Co-HOH will be eligible for the following HOH competition.
