## Season Overview

### Format

BBUS Format- Every week housemates compete in an HoH competition, with the HoH being able to select 2 nominees to face eviction for the week. The nominees have a chance to save themselves with the Power of Veto, and the housemates will have to vote for who should be evicted out of the 2 nominees remaining on the block at the end of the week. A Jury will return to vote for who should win the season out of the final 2 at the end.

* Courtney wins the first HoH competition and chooses Hailey, Vante, Stoner, and Brandon to be the first Have Nots... the Have Nots would have to endure a punishment in the next HoH competition, but they'd also have a chance to steal one of the Wicked Witch's secret potions from her cabinet
