Big Brother Universe XIII

"Big Brother Universe XIII", a Reality Based Game, is the fourteenth in Shattered's Big Brother Universe Series. The series premiered on RTVG on August 13th, 2016 and lasted eighteen weeks until the Live Finale on December 17th, 2016. The premise of the series remained largely unchanged from previous editions of the series, in which a group of contestants, known as "HouseGuests," compete to win the series by voting each other off and being the last HouseGuest remaining. One HouseGuest, known as the Head of Household, must nominate two of their fellow HouseGuests for Eviction. The winner of the Power of Veto can remove one of the Nominees from the block, forcing the HoH to nominate another HouseGuest. The HouseGuests then vote to Evict one of the Nominees and the HouseGuest with the most votes is Evicted. When only two HouseGuests remained, the last seven Evicted HouseGuests, known as the Jury of Seven, would decide which of them would win the $500,000 prize. A HouseGuest can be expelled from the game for breaking rules, such as not responding to PM's.

On December 17th, 2016, Natalie Negrotti won the season by a 4-3 vote over runner-up Joel Lefevre. In addition, Amanda Zuckerman was crowned the winning Coach due to one of her players winning the game.

Head of Household Competition & Nomination Ceremony
The first event of each week will be the Head of Household Competition. All HouseGuests will compete in this competition except for the previous HoH. HouseGuests will have 24 Hours to complete this challenge by PM. Most of these challenges are timed. If you fail to respond to the competition [responding = completion or notification of throwing], you will receive a strike. If you receive 3 strikes Pre-Jury, you will be prematurely evicted from the game. The Head of Household has the power for the week, and is guaranteed to be in the house at least one more week. They get to nominate 2 HouseGuests for Eviction. Once the Head of Household is announced, they must post in the thread their Nomination Ceremony, in which they will nominate 2 HouseGuests for Eviction. These two HouseGuests on the block are not finalized for the Eviction Vote until after the Veto Ceremony.

Veto Competition & Veto Ceremony
Once the Head of Household has posted their Nomination Ceremony, it will be time for the Veto Competition. Only 6 HouseGuests will compete in this competition; the HoH, the 2 Nominees, and 3 HouseGuests chosen by random draw. HouseGuests will have 24 Hours to complete this challenge by PM. If you fail to respond to the competition [responding = completion or notification of throwing], you will receive a strike. Most of these challenges are timed. while others will be held in the thread. The winner of this competition will win the Golden Power of Veto, which gives them the power to remove one of the Nominees from the block if they wish. Once the Power of Veto winner has been announced, that HouseGuest must post their Veto Ceremony in the thread. If they choose to use the Veto, they will remove one of the Nominees from the block. This will force the Head of Household to nominate another HouseGuest in their place. They cannot nominate the Veto winner. The Veto winner can also choose not to use it, keeping the Nominations the same. Once the Veto winner has made their decision, the Nominees are locked.

Live Eviction
After the Power of Veto winner posts their Veto Ceremony, the HouseGuests will send me an Eviction Vote for one of the Nominees via PM. HouseGuests will have 24 Hours to send their vote. Once I have all of the votes, the HouseGuest that received more votes will be Evicted from the Big Brother House. In the event of a tie, the HoH will choose which HouseGuest will be Evicted. At the halfway point in the game, when a HouseGuest is evicted, they will be required to fill out an Eviction Interview via PM that only I will see. I will ask you questions about your gameplay and what led to your Eviction, what you may have done differently, etc. These Interviews will resurface, however, at the end of the game. Be honest with these Interviews, and have fun with them.

Live Finale
When there are only 3 HouseGuests remaining, the Live Finale will commence. This night will consist of the 3-Part Final Head of Household Competition, the Final Eviction, the Jury Questioning, Closing Statements, and the Vote for a winner. The Jury Members will be choosing the winner of Big Brother Universe.

Coaches
This is the third season, after seasons 7 and 9, to feature former HouseGuests returning to the game. However, unlike previous seasons where the returning players competed as regular HouseGuests, the veterans were tasked with coaching three of the new players. Upon entering the house, the Coaches were ineligible to win the $500,000 grand prize, and were instead competing to win a separate prize of $100,000, which would be awarded to the Coach of the winning HouseGuest. However, after the Day 31 Live Eviction, the Coaches were offered the option of entering the game. Julie Chen revealed that each coach would be called into the Diary Room individually to cast their vote to keep coaching or not. Inside the diary room was a reset button, signifying the game's reset for the Coaches. Overall, the Coaches decided not to enter the game, and remained coaching for the remainder of the season.

Voting History
The voting table below records whom each HouseGuest voted to Evict during his or her time in the House. The Head of Household ("HoH") and Nominees are not allowed to vote, unless the vote is tied, in which case the Head of Household breaks the tie. Twists to the normal Nominations process are noted, such as immunity from Nomination and Eviction (referred to as "exempt") and Double Evictions.
