Big Brother Universe 6

"Big Brother Universe 6", a Reality Based Game, is the seventh in Shattered's Big Brother Universe Series. The season ended after 58 days, in which HouseGuest Helen Wood was crowned the Winner, and Irislene Stefanelli the Runner-Up.

I am your host, Julie Chen. And this autumn, Big Brother is once again choosing new victims to participate in the ultimate social experience. A group of contestants from around the world, referred to as HouseGuests, will be enclosed in the Big Brother House under the surveillance of cameras and microphones. Each week, the HouseGuests will vote to evict one of their own, facing twists and rules incorporated from Big Brother series around the world, until two HouseGuests remain on finale night. The winner will be decided by the last seven evicted HouseGuests, collectively known as the Big Brother Jury. To survive in this house, you'll need a lot of charm and wit to convince your fellow HouseGuests to keep you around. AND THIS AUTUMN, EACH NEW HOUSEGUEST HAS EVERYTHING TO PLAY FOR - AND EVERYTHING TO LOSE. WHO GETS THE POWER?

Diary Room Sessions
At the beginning of each round, I will PM every player with a questionnaire asking some general questions about what's going on in the game. They are not required, however they are extremely encouraged. You can PM me at any time during the round to add more to your sessions by updating me about what's going on in the game, from your point of view. At the end of the game, all of the Diary Room Sessions will be posted publicly. It's fun and adds a new layer to the game at the end of the season, when you'll be able to see where everyone's head was at. Diary Room Sessions may be completed at any point during the round.

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 HouseGuest 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 7 Jury Members will be choosing the winner of Big Brother Universe 6.

Week 1
On Day 1, the original sixteen HouseGuests entered the house. The HouseGuests were later called to the living room, and learned that there would be a "Power HouseGuest"; even more powerful than the position of Head of Household, the Power HouseGuest cannot compete in the weekly competitions, is safe for the entire week, and apart from the Head of Household will rule the house, receive incredible privileges, and also make difficult decisions. Following this news, HouseGuests ranked their fellow competitors based off of first impressions, with the person ranked highest overall being crowned the first Power HouseGuest. Devin was the winner. He was then called into the Diary Room and told he would have to make three huge decisions in secret. The first decision was to grant a HouseGuest the title of first Head of Household. Devin chose Mark. The second decision was to grant a HouseGuest a pass to the Jury Stage, and Devin chose Kaysar. The final decision was to punish a HouseGuest with the Killer Nomination, placing them up for Eviction this week with no chance of being removed from the block. Devin chose Deana. On Day 5, Mark nominated Paola and Russell for Eviction against Deana, naming both of them as pawns. When picking players for the Power of Veto Competition, Andrew, Jase, and Sabrina were selected to compete. HouseGuests competed in the "Big Brother Baking Competition" Power of Veto Competition. For this competition, HouseGuests attempted to spell the biggest word with the letters they found in a word search; the HouseGuest with the longest, correctly spelled word would win the Power of Veto. Jase was the winner of the Power of Veto. On Day 11, Jase decided not to use the Power of Veto to remove anyone from the block. On Day 12, Deana became the first HouseGuest to be Evicted from the house when she received a total of eight Eviction Votes (8-2-2).

Week 2
Following Deana's eviction, HouseGuests sent in Social Lists ranking their fellow competitors once again, and the HouseGuest that was ranked the lowest overall was chosen to become the new Power HouseGuest. However, this person remained a secret from the house. On Day 14, the Power HouseGuest secretly nominated Andrew, Devin, Jase, Paola, and Sabrina for Eviction, with Sabrina being the main target. When picking players for the Power of Veto Competition, Arlie was selected to compete. That night, HouseGuests competed in the "In the Balance" Power of Veto Competition. Paola was the winner of the Power of Veto. Paola used Power of Veto on herself, with the Power HouseGuest nominating Heather in her place. On Day 16, the HouseGuests evicted Sabrina by a vote of 8-1-1.

Week 3
Following Sabrina's Eviction, the HouseGuests cast votes to elect a new Power HouseGuest. Libra earned the most votes and was chosen to reign. The HouseGuests then competed in the "Big Brother Royalty" Head of Household Competition. For this competition, HouseGuests were asked to determine which HouseGuest best fit a description based on how they thought the majority of them answered. A HouseGuest was eliminated for an incorrect answer, with the last HouseGuest remaining becoming the winner. Devin was the winner. That night, Libra made a Power Nomination, placing Irislene up for Eviction. Devin then chose to nominate Heather and Paola for Eviction. When picking players for the Power of Veto Competition, Elissa and Russell were selected to compete. That night, HouseGuests competed in the "Keeping Up with the Joneses" Power of Veto Competition. For this competition, HouseGuests were required to re-create the memory wall in order of posting after the Cast Announcement, with the HouseGuest who finished in the quickest time winning the Power of Veto. Irislene won the Power of Veto. On Day 18, Irislene used the Power of Veto to remove herself from the block, with Russell being nominated in her place by Libra. Libra was then told she had the power to save one of Devin's Nominees from the block, and no replacement would be named. To Devin's dismay, Libra chose to save Heather from Eviction, leaving the final Nominees as Paola and Russell. Libra was also secretly given the power to nullify 3 HouseGuests' Eviction Votes, and she chose to cancel the votes of Arlie, Irislene, and Jase. Paola was sure she was out the door, however new information regarding Russell was brought to light, and all hell broke loose by the hands of the Power Couple Devin and Libra. On Day 19, Russell became the third HouseGuest to be Evicted from the house when he received a total of six eviction votes (6-2).

Week 4
Following Russell's eviction, in a twist this week, the HouseGuests learned that the Power HouseGuest title this week would be given to all of the females, meaning that all of the males would be vulnerable for Eviction. The girls were told that they would have the power to save 3 males from Nominations, meaning that the remaining 3 males [not including Kaysar] would be nominated for Eviction. The next day, Irislene announced that the girls collectively chose to save Andrew, Devin, and Jase, meaning that they nominated Arlie, Ben, and Mark for Eviction. When picking players for the Power of Veto Competition, the saved males Andrew, Devin, and Jase were selected to compete for the Power of Veto. That same day, HouseGuests competed in the "Big Brother Election" Power of Veto Competition. For this competition, HouseGuests chose truffles alotted with secret number values. The HouseGuest with the most points would be the winner. Mark was the winner of the Power of Veto. On Day 20, Mark used the Power of Veto to remove himself from the block, with no one being nominated in his place, leaving the final Nominees to be Arlie and Ben. Though Arlie was sure he had the votes, Devin and Andrew concocted a plan to flip the house on him. On Day 21, Arlie was blindsided as he became the fourth HouseGuest to be Evicted from the house when he received seven eviction votes (7-4).

Week 5
Following Arlie's Eviction, the house erupted in chaos when Arlie attacked Devin's gameplay, and Devin responded by not only blowing up one of his alliances, but publicly cancelling his Final 2 deal with Mark. HouseGuests competed in the "Roulette Me Win" Head of Household Competition. For this Competition, HouseGuests took turns choosing a number on a Roulette wheel; the HouseGuest who chose the number with the highest hidden point value would be the new Head of Household. Mark was the winner, making him the first HouseGuest this season to be Head of Household twice. Following his win, Devin knew he was in the line of fire. That same night, Mark nominated Devin and Heather for Eviction, with Devin being Mark's target to no one's surprise. When picking players for the Power of Veto Competition, Helen, Kaysar, and Libra were selected to compete for the Power of Veto. That night, HouseGuests competed in the "Back In Time" Power of Veto Competition.[54] For this competition, HouseGuests had to solve a puzzle to form a Veto Competition photo, with the fastest person to complete their puzzle winning the Power of Veto. Heather won the Power of Veto. On Day 23, Heather used the Power of Veto to remove herself from the block, with Libra being nominated in her place in an attempt to ensure Devin's Eviction. Mark attempted hardcore to get the votes to evict Devin from the house, rubbing some of the HouseGuests the wrong way. On Day 24, Libra became the fifth HouseGuest to be Evicted from the house when she received a total of eight Eviction Votes (8-1).

Week 6
Following Libra's Eviction, HouseGuests competed in the "Bull in a China Shop" Head of Household Competition. For this competition, HouseGuests had to click a button as many times as they could in a test of endurance. The HouseGuest with the most clicks would be the winner. Kaysar was the winner. On Day 26, Kaysar chose to nominate Elissa and Paola for Eviction. Shortly after, the HouseGuests learned that it was an Instant Eviction, and minutes later, Elissa was Evicted from the house by a vote of 5-3.

The HouseGuests then learned that it would be a Double Eviction. It was revealed that the HouseGuests' Social Lists they submitted before the Head of Household Competition would determine the new Power HouseGuests. Devin and Helen were chosen to receive the power to solely Evict one of the 7 remaining HouseGuests, minus Kaysar. For the Power of Veto Competition, only the 7 Nominees were allowed to compete. The HouseGuests then competed in the "Summer School" Power of Veto Competition. For this competition, HouseGuests had to determine whether there was less or more of an item than what Julie Chen told them. Jase was the winner of the Power of Veto. Following this, Jase used the Power of Veto to remove himself from the block, with no replacement Nominee. Minutes later, during Devin and Helen's Eviction Ceremony, Devin divulged information not only about who everyone came to him in confidence of who they would like to see go and who they would nominate the next week, but about accusations Heather made of cheating and a Devin/Helen/Kaysar alliance, which he confirmed to be true. Heather became the seventh HouseGuest to be Evicted from the house when she received the sole Eviction Vote from Devin and Helen, but not without a controversial blowup. The HouseGuests then learned that the Power HouseGuest twist had officially ended.

Week 7
Following Heather's Eviction, the remaining nine HouseGuests competed in the "Cherry on Top" Head of Household Competition. For this competition, HouseGuests were put into a tournament-style bracket. The object was to roll 3 dice using the Random.org Dice Roller. The HouseGuest to roll the higher individual die, moved on to the next round. Irislene was the winner. On Day 30, Ben and Mark were nominated for Eviction. Andrew, Devin, and Jase were picked to play in the Veto Competition. That same day, HouseGuests competed in the "BBB Movie" Power of Veto Competition. For this competition, HouseGuests were given a few minutes to guess how many of a certain Evicted HouseGuest's head there were in an image. If the HouseGuest was confident in their answer, they would "stay" for an attempt at winning a Movie Ticket. The HouseGuest that was closest to the correct answer would receive a Movie Ticket, while the others were eliminated. If they were not confident they would "fold" and stay in the competition regardless of their answer. The first HouseGuest to obtain three Movie Tickets would be the winner. Andrew was the winner. On Day 32, Andrew chose not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 33, in a vote of 5-1, Mark was Evicted and became the first Jury Member.

Week 8
Following Mark's eviction, Paola won her first Head of Household of the season in the "Way Off Broadway" HoH Competition. Paola then chose to nominate Andrew and Kaysar, with Kaysar being her target. Ben, Helen, and Jase were selected to play in the Veto Competition. On Day 36, Kaysar went on to win his first Veto Competition of the season. Kaysar used the Veto to remove his nomination, and Paola nominated Helen in his place. On Day 38, Andrew was Evicted by a unanimous vote.

Week 9
Shortly after Andrew's eviction, the remaining HouseGuests competed in the "Off the Wall" competition. The HouseGuests were to play an online endurance game. The last to remain standing would be the new HoH. Helen received the highest score and became Head of Household. On Day 41, Helen nominated Ben and Jase for Eviction. That same day, Devin, Irislene, and Paola were selected to play in the Veto Competition. Devin won the Veto Competition, his first Veto Competition win of the season. On Day 42, Devin surprisingly used the Power of Veto to save Ben, causing a disgruntled Helen to name Paola the replacement Nominee. On the Live Show, Julie Chen also announced that the HouseGuests will compete in a special competition, and a Live Double Eviction during that night. On Day 43, Paola was Evicted in a 3-1 vote.

Because this was also a Double Eviction Week, the remaining HouseGuests went straight into the Head of Household Competition, which Irislene won. Irislene nominated Ben and Jase shortly after, putting them right back on the block together. After Ben won the Power of Veto, he decided to use it to save himself, Devin was named the replacement Nominee by Irislene, and Jase was Evicted in a 2-1 vote.

Week 10
Following Jase's Eviction, the Power HouseGuest twist briefly returned, as the power was given to the RTVG public as People Power. Their decision was to decide which HouseGuest should be Immune from the next Eviction by voting in a poll via Surveymonkey. This HouseGuest was not eligible to become Head of Household, but was eligible to play for the Veto. The public chose Kaysar. The HouseGuests competed in the following Head of Household Competition, which Helen won. She nominated Ben and Devin. On Day 46, Irislene won the Power of Veto, her second Veto win of the season. Irislene did not use the Power of Veto as there was no eligible replacement Nominee. On Day 47, Devin was Evicted from the house in a 2-1 vote, with Helen as the Head of Household breaking the tie to Evict Devin.

Week 11
After Devin's Eviction, Ben won his first HoH of the season in the "Before or After" HoH Competition. On Day 49, he nominated Helen and Kaysar for Eviction. That same day, the HouseGuests competed in the final Veto Competition of the season, titled "Web of (F)Lies." Irislene won the Power of Veto. On Day 51, Irislene decided not to use the Power of Veto. Immediately following the Veto Ceremony, Irislene, with the sole vote to Evict, choose to Evict Kaysar from the game.

Week 12
Following Kaysar's Eviction, the Final Three participated in the first part of the final HoH Competition, "The Great E-skate," with Irislene being the victor. On Day 53, Ben and Helen competed in Part Two of the Final HoH Competition, "Crab Grab," which Ben won. During the Finale, Ben and Irislene faced off in the final part of the Competition, "Jury Statements". Irislene won the Competition and, as Final HoH, cast the sole vote to Evict Ben from the house. After asking questions to the Final Two, the seven-person Jury voted to crown the season's winner. Helen won in with a 5-2 vote, and Paola won $25,000 as RTVG's Favorite HouseGuest, with Helen and Devin gaining the next-highest amount of votes.

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.
