Big Brother Universe XI

"Big Brother Universe XI", a Reality Based Game, is the twelfth in Shattered's Big Brother Universe Series. The series premiered on RTVG on December 3rd, 2015 and lasted twenty-six weeks until the Live Finale on May 25th, 2016. Big Brother Universe XI featured a total of 16 HouseGuests. The series ended after 155 days, in which HouseGuest Solange Cristina was crowned the Winner, and Mandana Karimi the Runner-Up.

Social Lists
At the start of each week, you will receive a Social List PM in which you will need to rank your fellow HouseGuests from who you trust the most to the least. In addition, you will need to tell me who you would use the Power of Veto on in the event that you win it that week. This will not only keep me filled in on the dynamics of the game and play into certain twists, but it will also serve as a guide in the event that you miss a deadline to post a decision to keep a quick, continuous game pace. If you fail to turn in your Social List, you will receive a Strike.

Haves/Have-Nots
When you send your Social Lists, you will need to give me a list of the required number of HouseGuests you would like to make Have-Nots for the week in the event you become Head of Household. As a Have-Not, you can only eat the slop provided by Big Brother. In addition, you will receive disadvantages in not only the current week's Power of Veto Competition, but the following Head of Household Competition. Your time as a Have-Not will end once a new group of Have-Nots has been chosen by the new HoH. However, keep in mind that everyone is eligible to be a Have-Not for weeks in a row.

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.

Week 1
The sixteen HouseGuests entered the house on December 23, 2015. The next day, Julie announced that there were two Hidden Power of Immunity Medallions stashed within the house that would cancel all Eviction votes cast for the HouseGuest that chooses to use it during a Live Eviction. She also let the HouseGuests know that this season would see the implementation of Have-Nots; the current Head of Household will choose a certain number of HouseGuests to be Have-Nots for the week, meaning they will receive disadvantages in that week's PoV Competition as well as the following HoH Competition. On Day 5, HouseGuests battled in the "Story Time" Head of Household Competition. Houseguests played head-to-head and answered a multiple choice question based on four stories told to them by Big Brother. The HouseGuest that survived the round would then pick the next two HouseGuests to face off. The last HouseGuest standing was the winner. Ashleigh became the first Head of Household of the season. Immediately following this, the HouseGuests learned that there would be a total of three Nominees each week, all made by the Head of Household. In addition, the next twist of the season was First-Night Nominations; the three HouseGuests at the bottom of Ashleigh's Social List would be her Nominees for the week. Goitseone, Nick, and Steve were at the bottom of Ashleigh's list, thus were Nominated for Eviction. The following day, Kim and Naeha were selected to compete with the HoH and Nominees in the "V is for Veto" Power of Veto Competition. The challenge required the HouseGuests to build a photograph puzzle and crack a three-digit code to earn the win. Goitseone was the winner, being the fastest HouseGuest to crack the code. On Day 8, Goitseone chose to use the Power of Veto to save herself, and Ashleigh named Caleb as the replacement Nominee. On Day 10, Nick became the first HouseGuest to be Evicted from the Big Brother Universe house by a vote of 8-3-1, with Caleb receiving three votes and Steve receiving one.

Week 2
Following Nick's Eviction, the HouseGuests competed in the "Wall to Wall" endurance Head of Household Competition. For this competition, HouseGuests posted in the thread that they were holding onto a rope. Caleb was the winner, as he was unopposed by anyone else. Ashleigh, Kim, Mike, and Zach became the Have-Nots for the week on Caleb's call. On Day 12, Caleb chose to nominate Ashleigh, Mike, and Zach for Eviction. That night, Luisa and Steve were selected to compete in the "Dam It" Power of Veto Competition. The competition saw those competing attempting to solve a fallen phrase puzzle. However, before the results of the competition were announced, the remaining HouseGuests learned that Mike and Zach had been expelled from the game for failing to meet several deadlines and being a possible double account. On Day 13, the HouseGuests learned that Caleb's duty as Head of Household had been fulfilled as Mike and Zach were two of Caleb's Nominations, and that a new Head of Household Competition would take place soon.

Following these events, the Houseguests, excluding Caleb, then paired up for the "Switching Gears" Head of Household Competition. Houseguests were required to play Hold the Button for as long as they could as pairs, attempting to get the best average time. Kim and Tila were the winners, and Kim became the new Head of Household. As Head of Household, due to the prior events of the week, Kim did not name a number of HouseGuests as Have-Nots for the remainder of the week. On Day 16, Kim nominated Goitseone, Meg, and Steve for Eviction. Later that day, the HouseGuests competed in the "Spooling Around" Power of Veto Competition. HouseGuests must solve a Slitherlink puzzle, upload it, and send the answer back. After some abysmal challenge results, Goitseone was the winner of the Power of Veto for the second time in a row. On Day 18, Goitseone used the Veto on herself, with Solange being named as the replacement Nominee. On Day 20, Solange was Evicted from the Big Brother Universe house by a vote of 8-1-0, with Steve receiving one vote and Meg receiving none.

Week 3
Following Solange's Eviction, the HouseGuests, excluding Kim, played in the "Through the Wringer" Head of Household Competition. HouseGuests must search through a word search to find the letters that spell the phrase "Fight Dirty Laundry". The fastest person to spell the phrase would win; Luisa was the new Head of Household. Goitseone, Meg, Stephanie, and Tila were the Have-Nots for the week. On Day 23, Luisa Nominated Amber, Meg, and Tila for Eviction. Later that day, Luisa, Amber, Meg, Tila, along with Kim and Stephanie, fought in the "Game, Set, Match" PoV Competition. One at a time, HouseGuests attempted to knock down the other players' targets. However, before they fire, the HouseGuests must call out who they are attacking. The HouseGuest will then put in a lock on one of their targets to defend it. Once a HouseGuest has one target remaining, they can no longer defend. The last HouseGuest with a target standing will win; Meg won the Power of Veto. On Day 25, Meg decided to use the Power of Veto on herself, with Kim being Nominated in her place. The HouseGuests debated on whether to get rid of Kim or Tila, but once again in the end the majority opted to go for the bigger threat. On Day 26, after a 5-3-0 vote, Tila was Evicted from the Big Brother house.

Week 4
Following Tila's Eviction, the HouseGuests vied for power in the "Before or After" HOH Competition. HouseGuests were required to state whether one event took place before or after a second event that was named. An incorrect answer eliminated the HouseGuests from the competition. Goitseone was the last player standing and became the new Head of Household. After her win, Goitseone was required to name three Have-Nots for the week. She named Ashleigh, Kim, and Steve the Have-Nots for the week. On Day 29, the Nomination Ceremony was held, in which Goitseone ultimately chose to Nominate the Have-Nots: Ashleigh, Kim, and Steve. Later that day, Goitseone, Ashleigh, Kim, and Steve, alongside Luisa and Naeha, participated in the "Ant Maze" POV Competition. HouseGuests had to travel through an ant maze to find nine colored dots, make their way out, and lock in their time. The player with the fastest time is the winner of the competition. Luisa won the Power of Veto. On Day 32, Luisa decided to use the Power of Veto on Steve as a surprise to some, with Goitseone nominating Meg as his replacement. On Day 33, Kim was Evicted from the Big Brother Universe house in a 4-2-1 vote.

Week 5
Following Kim's Eviction, the HouseGuests were told about the twist of the Redemption House, a secluded location where Evicted HouseGuests would go to compete in challenges for a chance to return to the game. Solange and Kim contended in the "Student Film Fest" Redemption Duel. The HouseGuest with more correct answers received their return ticket to the house. Solange was the winner and not only returned to the game, but obtained Immunity for the week. The HouseGuests, minus Goitseone, then scrambled in the "Student Film Fest" Head of Household Competition. HouseGuests must buzz in and state the HouseGuest the blurred image is showing. If a HouseGuest answered correctly, they must eliminate another player of their choice. An incorrect answer resulted in their own elimination. The last HouseGuest standing was the new Head of Household. Mandana was the winner. Meg, Naeha, and Steve were named the Have-Nots for the week. On Day 35, Mandana nominated Luisa, Meg, and Steve for Eviction, with Meg as her target. Later that day, Mandana, Luisa, Meg, and Steve, as well as Solange and Stephanie, strived for power in the "Big Brother Concentration" PoV Competition. HouseGuests took turns lifting domes to find color coded shapes. In some domes, there were twists such as losing a turn, starting over with a smaller box, switching boxes with another HouseGuest, or getting eliminated from the competition. The first HouseGuest to completely match their color-coded sets wins the Power of Veto. Stephanie was the winner. On Day 43, Stephanie chose to remove Steve from the block, and Mandana named Naeha as the replacement Nominee. On Day 47, before the vote was revealed, a blindside plan was foiled when Luisa played the Hidden Power of Immunity, negating the four votes cast against her. By a vote of 2-1-0, Meg was Evicted from the Big Brother House and sent to the Redemption House, and Mandana's goal was accomplished.

Week 6
Following Meg's Eviction, she helped determine the new HOH in the "Rate-tribution" competition. Julie asked a question to Meg on a scale of 1 to 100. After Meg answered, the HouseGuests then guessed what Meg's answer would be. The HouseGuest furthest away from Meg's answer in each round would be eliminated. The last HouseGuest standing will be the winner. Before the winner was announced, however, Ashleigh failed to participate for the third time and was Expelled from the Big Brother Universe house. Steve then became the new Head of Household shortly after. Steve was then forced to pick three HouseGuests to be Have-Nots for the week. He chose Goitseone, Luisa, and Mandana. On Day 50, Steve nominated Goitseone, Mandana, and Solange, with Mandana as the true target - and he made this very clear to everyone. Later that day, Steve, Goitseone, Mandana, Solange, Luisa, and Naeha matched up in the "Delivering the Goods" Power of Veto Competition. HouseGuests competed individually and must solve a jigsaw puzzle of the current Memory Wall. The HouseGuest who recreates the Memory Wall in the fastest time will win the Power of Veto. Mandana was the winner, much to Steve's dismay. On Day 51, Mandana used the the Power of Veto on herself, and Steve shockingly nominated ally Naeha in her place as a pawn. On Day 55, Steve was forced to break an unexpected tie between Goitseone and Solange; Steve chose to Evict Goitseone from the Big Brother House and send her to the Redemption House.

Week 7
Following Goitseone's Eviction, the HouseGuests immediately went to the backyard and hoped to take control in the "Talk of the Block" Head of Household Competition. HouseGuests were asked questions based on events that took place during Nomination Ceremonies and Veto Meetings. The HouseGuest with the most points after all of the questions have been asked will be the new Head of Household. Before the winner was announced, Meg and Goitseone contended in the "Talk of the Block" Redemption Duel. Meg decided not to participate in the Duel, therefore Goitseone remained in the Redemption House and Meg was out of the game for good, becoming the first member of the Big Brother Universe Jury. Solange was then crowned the Head of Household. She nominated Luisa, Stephanie, and Steve for Eviction, and named Luisa and Stephanie as Have-Nots for the week. Solange, Luisa, Stephanie, and Steve, joined by Amber and Caleb, tussled in the "Big Brother Workshop" Power of Veto Competition. HouseGuests had to search for the names of the eight Evicted HouseGuests in a Word Search. After finding the names, they had to place the names in the order that the HouseGuests were Evicted. The first HouseGuest to place the names in their spots will win the Power of Veto. Solange was the winner. At the Veto Meeting, Solange decided not to take anyone off the block, keeping her Nominations the same. Naeha let it be known that the three Nominees were believed to be in a trio alliance and running the game, however Stephanie refuted these claims. It was clear she was Solange and the rest of the house's target this week, as everyone cast a vote to Evict her. However, Stephanie played the Hidden Power of Immunity, negating the four votes cast against her. Solange was then informed she had to cast the sole vote to Evict either Luisa or Steve. On Day 69, Solange chose to Evict Luisa from the Big Brother House and send her to the Redemption House.

Week 8
Following Luisa's Eviction, she competed against Goitseone in the "Pick Your Poison" Redemption Duel. Goitseone won the Duel and remained in the Redemption House, while Luisa became the second member of the Big Brother Universe Jury. The HouseGuests then took on the "Pick Your Poison" Head of Household Competition. In this endurance competition, HouseGuests had to pick one of two torture methods: physical endurance or mental endurance. Mandana, Stephanie, and Steve chose physical endurance, and Amber, Caleb, and Naeha chose mental endurance. The last HouseGuest standing from each method would face off in a tiebreaker, and the closest to the correct answer will be the new Head of Household. Mandana came closer to the tiebreaker than Amber and became the new Head of Household. She decided to name Naeha and Steve as Have-Nots. On Day 74, Mandana nominated Amber, Naeha, and Steve – dubbing themselves "The Holy Trinity" – for Eviction, with Steve as her target. Later that day, everyone but Solange challenged in the "Pin It to Win It" Power of Veto Competition. HouseGuests were shown a map of the world. They then had to mark the places of birth of the seven remaining HouseGuests. The HouseGuest with the most correct answers will win the Power of Veto. Mandana was the winner of the Power of Veto. Simultaneously, Naeha and Steve were competing to win a special Have-Not Super Power that is hidden under the floors of the Have-Not Room. The winner of the Have-Not Super Power would immediately remove one of Mandana's Nominations right before the Eviction Vote and replace that Nominee with a brand new one. The winner also has the option to change the second and third Nomination as well. However, if the winner exposes this power, they would be Evicted on the spot. Naeha and Steve raced to pin the world map as accurately as they could, and Naeha was the winner. On Day 76, Mandana decided not to use the Power of Veto to take anyone off the block. Immediately following this, Naeha used her Have-Not Super Power to remove herself and Amber from the block, leaving Steve remaining in the third Nomination seat. She then re-nominated Caleb and Solange in their places, and Solange was Evicted by a vote of 2-1-0, sending her to the Redemption House once again – but not without calling out Naeha and Amber for their behavior during the week.

Week 9
Following Solange's second Eviction, the HouseGuests revved up their engines for the "100 Minutes of Hell" Head of Household Competition. HouseGuests were required to hold the button as close to 100 minutes as they could. The HouseGuest that holds their button closest to 100 minutes will be the new Head of Household and have a guaranteed spot in the final five. Caleb was the winner with a time of 1:39:59:38. Stephanie and Steve became the Have-Nots for the week, selected by Caleb. On Day 82, Caleb nominated Naeha, Stephanie, and Steve for Eviction, and he definitely had some choice words for Naeha - but his true target was Stephanie. On Day 85, the HouseGuests scrapped in the "Show Me the Veto" Power of Veto Competition. HouseGuests were required to take their IMG pieces and put the links in the correct spot in the PM to create a complete image. The HouseGuest that finishes their image in the fastest time will win the Power of Veto. Mandana was the winner, making it her third PoV win in the game. On Day 87, Mandana took Stephanie off the block with the Power of Veto, and Caleb named Amber - the only remaining option - as the replacement Nominee, sealing the "Holy Trinity" alliance's fate. On Day 91, both Mandana and Stephanie cast their votes to Evict Amber. However, she sensed her demise and played her Hidden Power of Immunity to negate the votes cast against her during the Eviction Vote. The house immediately erupted in chaos when Amber called out Stephanie for voting against her and working with Mandana. When Caleb was forced to cast the deciding vote as HoH, he Evicted Steve from the Big Brother House, sending him to the Redemption House. Steve [backed up by Stephanie] immediately lashed out at his former allies Amber and Naeha for playing messy games and being the center of the drama. When Amber decided she couldn't handle the slander, being labeled as a "villain" and "trash", she decided to walk from the Big Brother House, making her the third member of the Big Brother Universe Jury.

The HouseGuests were then informed of the final Redemption Duel. The winner would return to the game, while the losers would become the fourth and fifth members of the Big Brother Jury. Steve performed the worst in the Duel and was thus eliminated from the game. It came down to Goitseone and Solange, and by a landslide, Solange won the final Redemption Duel and earned her spot back in the house for a second time. Immediately after, the final five HouseGuests learned that not only would this week be a Double Eviction Week, but the Three Nominees twist was finally over. Caleb, Mandana, Stephanie, and Solange immediately competed in the "Pit Stop to HoH" Head of Household Competition. The HouseGuests slid back and forth down their lane using their dollies to fill up their cups with oil, which they then used to fill up their jar at the end of their lane. The first HouseGuest to fill up their container, get their ball, and hit their button will be the new Head of Household. Solange was the winner. She Nominated Caleb and Naeha for Eviction minutes later. All of the HouseGuests then headed to the backyard for the "Web of Lies" Power of Veto Competition. HouseGuests had to guide their eyes through a trick Ghost Leg puzzle. The first HouseGuest to correctly identify which numbers correlated with which symbols will win the Power of Veto. Stephanie was the winner of the Power of Veto. At the Veto Meeting, Stephanie decided not to remove either Nominee from the block, keeping Solange's Nominations the same. On Day 98, after Solange cast the tie-breaking vote, Naeha was Evicted by a 2-1 vote, making her the sixth member of the Big Brother Universe Jury.

Week 10
Following Naeha's Eviction, Caleb, Mandana, and Stephanie fought for a spot in the final three in the "The Voice of Housebots Past" Head of Household Competition. HouseGuests were asked questions based on quotes said by Evicted HouseGuests. The player with the most points after all of the questions have been asked will be the new Head of Household. Mandana was the winner, making this her third HoH reign and sixth competition win in total. On Day 108, Mandana nominated Caleb and Stephanie for Eviction. Shortly after, the final four clashed in the final "Fast Track to Finale" POV Competition. HouseGuests had to determine what days events in the Big Brother House occurred. The HouseGuest who identifies the most correct dates will win the Power of Veto. Mandana was the winner of the final Power of Veto, having total control over her Nominees for the week. On Day 109, Solange cast the sole vote to Evict Caleb, ensuring their trio alliance made it to the Finale intact.

Following Caleb's Eviction, the final three - Mandana, Solange, and Stephanie - engaged in their final battle in the Final HOH "Jury Questions". The trio was asked A-or-B questions based on quotes from members of the Jury made in the Jury House. The HouseGuest with the most points after 5 questions will be the final Head of Household. After all 5 questions, and a tiebreaker, Mandana became the final Head of Household. On Day 127, Mandana cast the sole vote to Evict Stephanie. After the Jury asked their questions, they locked in their final votes. On Day 155, after receiving Luisa, Amber, Goitseone, Naeha, and Stephanie's votes, Solange left the House with $500,000 and was deemed the winner of Big Brother Universe XI, while Mandana was deemed the runner-up and walked away with $50,000.

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.
