## Background

### Development

On the 7th of July 2023 it was announced that the group had been opened with its seventeenth season being put into production. Kelsey's Big Brother would be hosted entirely on Discord. All of the competitions (Head of Household, Power of Veto) would be hosted through Discord and would require it's competitors to test their typing and speed skills, along with a mix of other competition types such as Trivia, and puzzles. For its first time, Kelsey's Big Brother was ran entirely by the owner, xkelseyana.

### Casting

Applications were released on the 7th of July 2023, and would stay open for a week. Where houseguests from all walks of life were encouraged to apply. A few days later, two cast-pass' were revealed to the public for the first time. Where the first two people to buy it would have an automatic spot in the season. After a week, applications closed and houseguests were decided through production. After 24 hours, letters were sent to the lucky 18 houseguests that would be partaking in the season. Each houseguest was then placed in sequester as their cast photos were taken.

## Twists

* **Time Warp Immunity:** America voted for one houseguest to be immune until the jury stage of the game. The majority of Canada voted for Door\_Duck and she is immune until the jury stage of the game.
* **Backwards Week:** Right after the Week 2 eviction, houseguests were called to The Bridge one by one to nominate two fellow houseguests for eviction. After the nominated housemates are revealed, the Power of Veto will be played as normal. If the Veto is used, the Veto Holder is immune and another nomination session will take place for the replacement nominee. After the final nominees are set, the HOH competition will take place with the previous HOH and the nominated houseguests to be excluded. The winner of the HOH competition will cast the sole vote to evict.
* **Pandora's Box:** During Weeks 1 & 2, Pandora's Box was introduced, it could only be opened by the current HOH, which either unleashed a reward for the HOH and a punishment for the house or vice versa.
* **Split House Double Eviction:** Before the Week 8 Head of Household competition, Kelsey announced to the remaining houseguests that the house would be split in half for Double Eviction to end the week. After the two Heads of Household were crowned the house was split by schoolyard pick into two separate groups of five. Big BroChella will live inside the main house for the entire week while Dyre Fest will be secluded to the backyard only. The two groups would not able to communicate at all and will not see each other until the end of the week when two houseguests, one from each group will be evicted from the house.
