MBB31

After 7 months of MBB going on a hiatus, the show is brought back on air for an all new experience in Big Brother's Country Club. Housemates are encouraged to work together using the power of love in group bonding tasks to increase their winnings, but love runs rampant throughout the house in more ways than one with more showmances than ever before. It's ultimately down to the housemates if they want to follow Big Brother down his path of positivity or forge their own path of chaos.

Previous season: MBB30

Next season: MBB32

## Season Overview

### Format

Mixed Format- The season will cycle through three trimesters that each have their own format. Each trimester has its own unique format that borrows several elements from several versions of Big Brother that will always result in someone being evicted at the end of the week. When there are only 2 housemates left, a Jury of evicted housemates will return to vote for who should be the winner of the season.

   Main Characters- Vante, Sebash, Shaad, Julian, Andrew, Kyle, Justin, Liliana, Lorenzo, Panda, Mj

### Week 1

* Eight new housemates and eight returning housemates enter the Country Club
* The first trimester's format will require the house to vote as a group for who faces the first eviction, and the HoH will have the sole decision of who goes home out of the three people with the most votes
* Sebash became the first HoH of the season
* Vante gave up his right to win HoH to earn power... and he has the ability to pick one person to be placed under house arrest
* The only thing housemates are told about house arrest is that the people under house arrest can only speak when the sun is up, and they will no longer be allowed to win the season
* Many people think there is some kind of plot twist that will be a benefit to those under house arrest, and Meep volunteers for Vante to place him under house arrest
* Gabe is instantly the loudest among the bunch, and he opens up to everyone about how his wedding was canceled and his fiancé left him while he's drunk
* Gabe gets called into the Diary Room to receive a warning for offensive language he used in the house
* Due to the DM limit being lowered, the game switches platforms for the first time ever as everyone joins a Discord server to continue playing
* Shaad wins the power to place someone under house arrest, and Gabe volunteers like Meep... thinking he will get an advantage
* Meep and Gabe start to aggravate each other when left in the sequester for house arrest alone together
* Liliana, Vante, Andrew, Michaela, and Sebash form an alliance of 5... the first major alliance of the season, and their first target is Callum
* Callum, Chip, and Michaela receive the most votes to be nominated for the first eviction since most people feel like they've spoken the least
* The alliance of 5 was poised to evict Callum, but Naomi saved him when she won the Power of Veto... and Kassandra was the replacement nominee for having the next most votes
* The alliance of 5 presume Naomi and Callum are working together and make both Naomi and Callum their main targets
* Gabe's behavior gets rowdier and rowdier, annoying a lot of housemates and the production team
* At the live eviction, Sebash chose to evict Chip because he had an issue with her not talking to him at all to even campaign to stay
* In Chip's exit interview, she opens up about how her social anxiety made her afraid to talk to people this season... but it somehow devolves into her getting in a big argument with a member of production (Katt)

### Week 2: Miami

* Big Brother tells the housemates that they will have every week themed after a different vacation, their first location was Miami
* Vante wins HoH after playing the MBB version of Simon Says for a few hours
* The dynamics were almost completely controlled by the alliance of 5 (Vante, Liliana, Andrew, Sebash, and Michaela) since they were the 5 in the center of most relationships and strategy talk within the house so far
* Andrew wins the power to place someone under house arrest and he chose to put his alliance's target (Callum) under house arrest
* Kassandra is expelled for inactivity, and Mj is brought in as a replacement to take her spot
* The alliance of 5 get their way when Naomi and Lorenzo receive votes during the house vote and get nominated for eviction, but Michaela also gets nominated again because a lot of people view her as inactive
* Andrew, Liliana, Sebash, and Vante consider removing Michaela from their alliance since she is barely active and keeps getting targeted, but they settle upon Naomi remaining their main target
* Liliana won the Power of Veto and chose to not save either nominee since the power to evict was in her alliance anyways
* The HoH, Vante, has a dilemma over whether he should betray the alliance of 5 and evict Michaela or betray his friend outside of the game by evicting Naomi
* Gabe continues to bother the housemates whenever he visits the house and production in his Diary Room
* Housemates have to work together in their first group bonding task to help MBB go viral in order to add $20 to the Tree of Love
* After 24 hours of doing the task, Big Brother declares that the house passed their task and Lucky gives Sebash a monetary prize for doing the best in the task
* At the live eviction, Vante chooses to side with his alliance of 5 and evicted Naomi from the house
* The pinned up resentment Meep has had for Gabe after being under house arrest with him leads to the two of them arguing during the live eviction... Gabe comes to the Diary Room to submit a complaint thinking that Meep took the argument too far

### Week 3: Ghana

* Lorenzo wins the next HoH competition, which raises a problem for the alliance of 5 since they have to ensure none of them are nominated to guarantee their safety this week
* Vante assures the alliance of 5 that he is close with Lorenzo and they will be safe
* Lauren makes a risky move by campaigning for certain people at the top of the house in the alliance of 5 (Andrew and Vante) to be nominated for eviction
* Word quickly gets back to Andrew and Vante from Julian and several others about Lauren campaigning to get them out, and the alliance of 5 focus on Lauren being the target for the week
* Panda also is rumored to be a close ally of Lauren, which made him a target as well
* With word spreading around the house like wildfire with any names to throw votes on... Lauren and Panda became the clear house targets for the week
* Shaad wins the power to place someone under house arrest and goes with the easiest decision by picking the late entrant (Mj)
* Mj gets into an argument with Shaad because he thinks Shaad gave him false hope that he wouldn't choose him in private messages, and Gabe jumps into the argument to defend his friend Shaad
* Gabe's sexuality kept getting questioned by the house, and once he gets drunk... he accidentally reveals that he has kissed a guy before
* Right after he accidentally leaked that information, he tried to delete the message and told everyone to stop questioning him because he's still mourning the loss of his ex fiancé
* However, not everyone believes Gabe's story about his fiancé dying, and they think it was just fabricated to cover up the previous lies about his sexuality
* At the nomination ceremony, Lauren and Panda are unsurprisingly voted to face eviction, and Michaela also receives enough votes to be nominated due to her excessive inactivity
* Vante wins the Power of Veto and chooses to use it on neither of the nominees
* Vante, Lorenzo, and Shaad form a trio as the three black men in the house that they want to stick together
* More and more people compare notes and find out that Lauren has told a lot of lies and made some fake alliances
* Lorenzo asks Lauren to send him proof she didn't vote him to face eviction last week, but Lauren has to make a fake screenshot to cover up the fact that she did vote him last week
* It gets exposed that Lauren's screenshot was fake due to her editing it to make it seem like she voted someone out that wasn't even eligible to receive votes... this makes her even more of a target than she already was
* The other members of the alliance of 5 become weary of Vante because of his connections with Lorenzo and several other people outside of the alliance of 5
* At the live eviction, the HoH (Lorenzo) chooses Lauren to be evicted out of the three nominees
* Big Brother reveals that everyone under house arrest will be apart of a sacrifice ceremony, where 3 trailblazers will enter the game as late entrants only if they sacrificed 3 of the people under house arrest into the fire
* The trailblazers decide they want to work together against the original housemates and the best move is to spare the other late entrant under house arrest (Mj)... so Meep, Gabe, and Callum were all sacrificed to the fire during the live show

### Week 4: Great Britain

* Since the trailblazers (Kyle, Justin, and Sheckler) completed the sacrifice ritual... they all became official housemates that would be safe for their first week being in the house
* Sebash won the next HoH competition, putting the power once again back in the hands of the alliance of 5... and Sebash decides that he wants Shaad to be his target for the week
* Things are tense between Andrew and Kyle because they had a former e-relationship from years ago that ended horribly, and neither of them are on good terms with each other
* But Andrew and Kyle aren't the only relationship in the house as there are rumors of Shaad and Julian being in a showmance and rumors of Vante and Sebash being in a showmance
* With everyone splitting their votes... the vote turns out in a big tie, and everyone involved in the tie was automatically nominated. So there was an impressive 5 nominees for the week... Shaad, Panda, Andrew, Lorenzo, and Michaela
* Shaad argues with Sebash because he finds out Sebash was targeting him this week, and Julian gets dragged into the argument because Sebash thinks Julian ratted his plans out to Shaad
* Shaad had a clutch win when he got the Power of Veto and he used it to save himself from eviction, and Julian was the replacement nominee for having the next most votes
* Housemates have to pretend to be animals living on a farm to add $20 to the Tree of Love for the Animal Farm task
* Sebash wants to evict Michaela even though they're both in the alliance of 5, because he'd rather move forward in the game with people that are active... but not all the others in the alliance are comfortable with the alliance being betrayed just yet
* Big Brother reveals that housemates passed the Animal Farm task, but Brandon does not think they deserve money for it
* At the live eviction, Sebash chooses to do what he wants and blindsides his own ally Michaela anyways
* Michaela is very bitter at Sebash and Vante in her exit interview, and even has some harsh words for Vante on her way out the door even though Vante wasn't the one to evict her

### Week 5: France

* After the previous week, the alliance of 5 had now completely fallen apart in mistrust
* The second trimester of the season would operate under a format where the HoH chose 2 nominees, but there would be a public-based reaping for the third nominee, with a diamond veto and a house vote for the eviction
* Panda, who had been on the bottom so far, won HoH... causing a major turning point in the game
* Andrew, Liliana, and Sebash kicked Vante out of their alliance and formed their own trio... even though Andrew and Liliana didn't fully trust Sebash either
* The house divides between two groups: the trio of Andrew, Liliana, and Sebash who had Panda as an extra number for them vs. the alliance of black people that was made a few weeks back with Vante, Lorenzo, and Shaad who also had Justin and Julian as extra numbers for their side
* Many of the late entrants (Mj, Sheckler, and Kyle) weren't fully on one side, but Kyle tried to take advantage of his position and play both sides of the house
* At the nomination ceremony, Panda nominates Lorenzo and Julian for eviction... which causes an argument. And Kyle's name is randomly chosen as the third nominee
* Sebash and Sheckler both get a punishment from the Veto competition
* Andrew receives a mysterious Legacy Advantage from the Veto competition
* Shaad wins the Diamond Power of Veto and uses it to save Julian and nominate his former he already placed under house arrest before... Mj
* Even though Vante and Sebash are on two opposite sides of the house... they still have a mysterious connection to each other
* Julian won the power to cancel someone's eviction vote in the Veto competition, and he chooses to cancel Andrew's eviction vote
* At the live eviction, Liliana and Sebash are the only people voting for their side of the house and they try to vote to evict Lorenzo... but the entire other side of the house vote together to get Mj out... sending Mj home in a vote of 5 to 2 to 0

### Week 6: Jersey Shore

* Housemates have to compete in a Prison Task where 3 prisoners will have to abide by the law of the prison staff and do difficult chores in order to add $20 to the Tree of Love
* However, the three prisoners (Justin, Julian, and Shaad) were actually given a secret mission to not listen to the prison staff and be rowdy in order to pass the task for everyone
* Liliana ends up arguing with Shaad over his lack of effort during the task, but she does not know he is on a secret mission to not be well behaved
* Big Brother reveals to the house that the 3 prisoners passed their secret mission, so the house has won the group bonding task

* After Andrew's campaign, The Reunion goes from wanting him out to considering the possibility of keeping him in
* By the live eviction, enough people had changed their minds for the vote to tie... and Shaad breaks the tie for Andrew to stay in the house, making Liliana the third member of Jury

* Everyone has to play the endurance competition, and everyone starts to get sexual with each other
* Andrew still claims to be on vacation with his "man"... but he joins in on the sexual and flirtatious talk
* Kyle is once again the new HoH after staying up the longest, and he's still trying to find a way to play both sides of the house
* At the nomination ceremony, Kyle nominates one person from each side of the house: Andrew, for campaigning against him.. and Justin, for lying to him
* Justin goes off on Kyle because he doesn't buy that reasoning, and he has an iconic Diary Room session venting about it... meanwhile, Sheckler is randomly chosen as the third nominee
* Vante wins the Diamond Power of Veto and is put in a difficult spot because his Reunion alliance expects him to save Justin... but Vante's mysterious connection to Sebash also makes him not want to use it so he doesn't have to nominate Sebash or Panda
* Vante doesn't use it and tells The Reunion that they should have the votes to save Justin anyways, but Shaad, Lorenzo, and Justin still grow to distrust Vante more after this incident
* Justin is most upset about not being saved with the Veto, and he goes to have another iconic Diary Room rant about how upset he is at Vante
* Housemates have to be nice and not argue at all for the Positivity Task in order to add $20 to the Tree of Love, but the catch is more things will be considered negative as time progresses
* One of the jurors (Mj) keeps trying to bait the housemates into slipping up and arguing... and Justin, Shaad, and Vante all take the bait and try to get their digs back at Mj
* Big Brother informs all of them that they lost the Positivity Task after 24 hours elapses
* Leading up to the eviction, many people lie to Andrew and say they kept him so he gives them their Legacy Advantage... but Sebash was the only one to stay true to his word and actually vote to keep Andrew
* At the live eviction, there's another blindside when Andrew is shocked to see quite literally everyone but Sebash voted him out
* Andrew doesn't know exactly who kept him since everyone kept lying, and he still doesn't believe Sebash... so he just gives his advantage to someone random he finds funny (Justin)
* It turns out the Legacy Advantage gave the holder the ability to bring back one of the first four jurors, and whoever was brought back would still get to keep their Jury vote while simultaneously being a housemate
* The jurors return to visit the house so they can plead as to why they should be brought back, and they end up arguing the remaining housemates while visiting

### Week 11: Jamaica

* Julian became the new HoH, and he picks the Golden Veto to be played for this week

* Meep, Jay, and Moses from past seasons of MBB return as the VIP guests for the tasks and they demand a lot from everyone and immediately complain the second something goes wrong
* The housemates struggled a lot to pass the task, so they did not add an extra $20 to the Tree of Love
* After all 5 tasks, there was a total of $60 accumulated on the Tree of Love, so the $60 was added to the cash prize... making the prize go from $200 to $260

* There is no eviction at the next live show, as housemates move on to competing to be the next HoH

### Week 13

* Julian wins the final 4 HoH competition, and the only Veto he can use for the week is the Blood Veto by default
* Due to how the Blood Veto works, the nominations at final 4 were very important, as whoever Julian didn't nominate would automatically advance to the final week with him
* Julian stops thinking about the alliance as a whole and focuses on the fact that Lorenzo and Vante would probably take each other to the final 2 over him, and he thinks it would be best for one of them to go this round
* Julian chooses to nominate one of the heaviest hitters this season for eviction (Vante), and Vante chose to nominate Panda to face eviction next to him
* At the final Veto competition of the season, Panda won the Blood Veto when it mattered most... and he received the sole vote to evict either himself or Vante
* At a special eviction ceremony that took place with no audience, it was a no brainer that Panda would pick Vante to be the next person to be evicted through the backdoor... but he wrote up a long speech about how well he did
* Vante enters Jury and immediately starts fighting all the Jurors who were bitter at him, the fight especially gets intense between Vante and Shaad as they scream at each other on a voice channel
