Power of Veto:​


Alright, Cheez has nominated Scorpion and Nola for eviction. Now, the Power of Veto will commence. The HOH, the 2 nominees, and 3 randomly selected players will compete for the Power of Veto. For the veto competition, it's one that will have you juggling a lot of things at once...

Multitask!

Participants:
HOH: @cheezee weeñ
Nominee: @Scorpi0n
Nominee: @Babywinds
Random Draw: @Turtwig
Random Draw: @Vom
Random Draw: @The Last Shaymin

The houseguest who is able to complete the tasks in the fastest time will win the Power of Veto! You have until May 31st at 12:00PM EST to submit a score for this competition, giving you about 44 hours. I am open to discussion when it comes to how long competitions should be, especially as the season gets tighter and fewer houseguests remain. Any changes in the length of a competition will be based on the house's overall opinion on a fair length.

A reminder that you need two sources of documentation for your submissions (your name, a PokéBeach tab, etc.) to prove the screenshot was taken by you. As long as it's visible on-screen, drawn on, or through a Notepad app, that's fine. All submissions must be made directly to the host either through 1-on-1 DMs or through your Diary Room. If a submission is invalid, you will be notified and be told what the problem is.
 
Power of Veto: Results​

Hello houseguests! With the competition over, let's take a look at the top 3 placements, and who won the POV competition...

1st place: @Vom with 135 points!
2nd place: @Babywinds with 83 points!
3rd place: @Scorpi0n with 51 points!

Congratulations Vom, you have won the Power of Veto! Within the next 24 hours, or by June 1st at 12:00PM EST, you must decide if you'd like to save 1 of the 2 nominees from eviction, or keep the nominations the same.
 
Eviction Ceremony:​


Alright, @Babywinds and @Scorpi0n are the final nominees for this week. As Head of Household, Cheez cannot vote. Everyone else, please privately cast your vote for the nominee that you want to be evicted by tagging me in your DR, and making your decision. There are 7 voters this week, and so it takes 4 votes to be evicted.

Houseguests, you have just under 24 hours, or until June 1st at 12:00PM EST to send in your vote to evict. As decided by you all, the results will be posted before that if every single vote is accounted for.

A reminder that on the way out, the evicted houseguest will bequeath any Play Tokens they have to a player of their choice.
 
Eviction Results:​


Houseguests. You've all cast your votes, and it is time to reveal the third evicted houseguest of the season. By a vote of 6-0...

@Scorpi0n, you have been evicted from the Big Brother house.

The evicted houseguest has been alerted in their Diary Room of their requirement to bequeath any Play Tokens they have to another houseguest of their choice. Expect an HOH competition sooner or later, but in the meantime...

TOKEN SHOP - Week 4:

Swindle Swap - Upon buying this advantage, the buyer must immediately swap their Play Token total with another houseguest. [2 PLAY TOKENS]

You have been notified in advance of this items’ sale, and it will be available for purchase in 8 hours, or at 6AM EST tomorrow. The first person to purchase this item in exchange for 2 Play Token will receive it, and the house will be notified once it is purchased.
 
Week 4:​

Hello houseguests! Week 4, and only 9 of you left, we're certainly in the thick of it now! I should note that the sale of the Swindle Swap is still open. Though there is only 1 available, it has not been purchased, and as a result this advantage will remain on the shop until the end of the HOH competition, by which point, if not purchased, will be considered completely passed up.


Head of Household:​

Alright, let's get to this week's HOH competition! This competition requires some good memory, good foresight, a sense of humor to rise above the rest! This week's HOH is...

A Quiz!

You have until June 3rd at 12:00PM EST to schedule a time with me to take this quiz live, giving you a full 48 hours. I will be ending the competition as soon as all of you have taken the quiz, and will probably push to have all of you take the quiz well before the deadline. Any changes in the length of a competition will be based on the house's overall opinion on a fair length. Cheez, as outgoing HOH, will not compete in this competition.


Discussion in any 1-on-1 chats and alliances is NOT allowed. I will be locking the house chat for the duration of this competition and you will not be permitted to talk with one another in alliance chats. This is to prevent communication about the quiz between those who have taken it and those who have not.
 
Head of Household: Results​

Hello houseguests! Everyone has been quizzed on the BB Stormwatch alerts, and the competition is over. The tiebreaker question was needed to break a tie between 2 houseguests. The answer to the tiebreaker question was 14, which every single one of you lowballed. Let's see who the top 3 placements were...

1st place: @scattered mind with 10 points (and tiebreaker response of 10)!
2nd place: @Amici with 10 points (and a tiebreaker response of 9)!
3rd place: @The Last Shaymin with 8 points (and a tiebreaker response of 12)!

Congratulations Scattered, you are the new Head of Household! It is your responsibility to nominate 2 houseguests this week, at risk of being evicted from the house and out of the game. You have until June 3rd at 12:00PM EST to name your nominees in this thread.


I have another announcement to make. Someone in the game played the Extortion advantage on @Brave Vesperia this week, which forced him to either pay this (anonymous) person 2 Play Tokens, or he would receive punishment. These punishments were the inability to compete in the HOH and POV competitions (even as a nominee), and the inability to vote at this week's eviction. Brave did not pay the fee, and has been subjected to these punishments for the rest of the week.

Additionally, the Swindle Swap was not purchased, and will not enter play.
 
Power of Veto:​

Alright, Scattered has nominated Brave and Cheez for eviction. Now, the Power of Veto will commence. Normally, HOH, the 2 nominees, and 3 randomly selected players will compete for the Power of Veto. However, with Brave being unable to compete due to his punishment, a 4th random selection will be made. This POV is...

Count to Ten!

Participants:
HOH: @scattered mind
Nominee: @cheezee weeñ
Random Draw: @Mora
Random Draw: @Amici
Random Draw: @Turtwig
Random Draw: @Vom

This will be a live competition, meaning that at some point soon we will have this competition with all 6 of you counting out your numbers. This will take place in the PBB discord, in the #big-brother-house channel, and I will be asking you guys when a good time would be so I can figure out when to host this competition.

A competition twist will be revealed at the time of the competition, and I will describe in detail how it will work then. The order in which you'll all be counting will also be revealed there. I want this competition to happen either later today or tomorrow at some point, so that we can keep the game moving.
 
Power of Veto: Results​

Hello houseguests! With the competition over, let's take a look at who won what prize...

@scattered mind receives a Profile Picture punishment!
@cheezee weeñ wins the Power of Veto!
@Mora receives a Nickname Punishment!
@Amici wins 2 Play Tokens!
@Turtwig wins the Blue Button!
@Vom wins Immunity for the rest of the week!

Congratulations Cheez, you have won the Power of Veto! Within the next 24 hours, or by June 4th at 3:00PM EST, you must decide if you'd like to save 1 of the 2 nominees from eviction, or keep the nominations the same.
 
Eviction Ceremony:​

Alright, @Brave Vesperia and @Turtwig are the final nominees for this week. As Head of Household, Scattered cannot vote. Everyone else, please privately cast your vote for the nominee that you want to be evicted by tagging me in your DR, and making your decision. There are 6 voters this week, and so it takes 4 votes to be evicted. If there is a tie, Scattered must cast the deciding vote here in the thread.

Houseguests, you have just above 22 hours, or until June 4th at 2:00PM EST to send in your vote to evict. As decided by you all, the results will be posted before that if every single vote is accounted for.

A reminder that on the way out, the evicted houseguest will bequeath any Play Tokens they have to a player of their choice.
 
Eviction Results:​


Houseguests. You've all cast your votes, and it is time to reveal the fourth evicted houseguest of the season. By a vote of 5-1...

@Brave Vesperia, you have been evicted from the Big Brother house.

The evicted houseguest has been alerted in their Diary Room of their requirement to bequeath any Play Tokens they have to another houseguest of their choice. Expect an update sooner or later, but in the meantime...

TOKEN SHOP - Week 5:

Arcade POV - This POV will grant the holder extreme power, as it will allow the holder to save 1 of the nominees anonymously, but it will also give them an extra vote at the Eviction Ceremony of the week that they use the power (must be used). This advantage expires on Week 8. [3 PLAY TOKENS]

You have been notified in advance of this items’ sale, and it will be available for purchase in just under 9 hours, or at 8PM EST today. The first person to purchase this item in exchange for 3 Play Tokens will receive it, and the house will be notified once it is purchased.
 
Week 5:​

Hello houseguests! We've reached Week 5. With only 8 of you left in the game, I'm sure some of the returning houseguests are waiting for an announcement about reaching the jury phase. You aren't there yet houseguests. Instead, I have a little explaining to do. This season, there's been a little change. For the past 4 weeks, the evicted houseguests have been working hard to fight their way back into this game, through a twist called the Storage Room. They have had tasks to complete, decisions to make, and Play Tokens to earn. Please welcome back...

- @Jacklongkawaii
- @FourteenAlmonds
- @Scorpi0n
- @Brave Vesperia

You all have known this was coming, and have been working, waiting for this day for a while now. It's arrived. Now, let's get down to the advantages that you all bought. Plenty of you have bought advantages in this challenge, so that you could increase your odds of getting back into the game.

- Almonds purchased 1 Re-Entry advantage, which will give him a 10% boost in his submitted score.
- Jack and Scorpion purchased 2 Re-Entry advantages, which will give them a 25% boost in their submitted scores.

With that, let's get right into it...


Re-Entry Competition:​

Alright, this is your shot to get back into the game! The winner of this competition will re-enter the house as a full houseguest, while the other 3 will be out of the game for good. This competition will require patience, timing, and adaptability, it's...

zBall!

You have until June 6th at 12:00AM EST to score as high as you possibly can on this competition, giving you 36 hours to play. You know how to submit for competitions at this point, please use 2 factors of authorization. This game does not save your best score from previous rounds, so I would advise frequent screenshots as a solution.


For those still in the main game, discussion is allowed. Other than potentially purchasing the Arcade POV, you have the next 36 hours off. Enjoy!

Re-Entry Competition: Results​

Storage Room inhabitants, it's time. The deadline has arrived, and 1 of you has just won their way back into the game, while the other 3 will leave the game for good. Let's see how you all did...

1st place: @FourteenAlmonds with 626 (569 x 1.10) points!
2nd place: @Scorpi0n with 350 (280 x 1.25) points!
3rd place: @Jacklongkawaii with 298 (238 x 1.25) points!
4th place: @Brave Vesperia with 14 points!

Almonds has earned his way back into this game! After 2 long weeks, he has earned his way back into the Final 9! Congratulations! Unfortunately, Jack, Scorpion, and Brave, this is the end of the road for the 3 of you. Thank you all so much for playing, and you'll be added to the audience chat soon.

To the now 9 houseguests in the game, expect an HOH very soon.
 
Head of Household:​

Alright, houseguests! We're back to 9 houseguests, and we're only gonna keep kicking up the heat. This HOH is a test of will, who is willing to push themselves? Maybe this competition will answer that question for you. This is...

Doodle Cricket!

You have until June 8th at 12:00PM EST to submit a score for this competition, giving you just under 60 hours. I am open to discussion when it comes to how long competitions should be, especially as the season gets tighter and fewer houseguests remain. Any changes in the length of a competition will be based on the house's overall opinion on a fair length. Scattered, as outgoing HOH, will not compete in this competition.

A reminder that you need two sources of documentation for your submissions (your name, a PokéBeach tab, etc.) to prove the screenshot was taken by you. As long as it's visible on-screen, drawn on, or through a Notepad app, that's fine. All submissions must be made directly to the host either through 1-on-1 DMs or through your Diary Room.

Head of Household: Results​

Hello houseguests! Time has run out, and the competition is finished. Let's see who the top 3 placements were...

1st place: @FourteenAlmonds with 350 points!
2nd place: @Turtwig with 152 points!
3rd place: @Mora with 55 points!

Congratulations Almonds, you are the new Head of Household, and will receive the 2 Play Tokens that come with it! It is your responsibility to nominate 2 houseguests this week, at risk of being evicted from the house and out of the game. You have until June 9th at 12:00PM EST to name your nominees in this thread.


I have another announcement to make. During the competition, @Vom played an advantage called the 50/50 Coin. This advantage allowed her to flip a heads/tails coin, with a 50% chance at safety. If the coin landed on heads, she would be safe for the week, and if it landed on tails she would still be vulnerable. She flipped the coin this week and it landed on heads, meaning Vom is immune for the week, and cannot be nominated!
