Format

Big Brother follows a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests, who live inside a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. [1] The HouseGuests are sequestered with no contact with the outside world. [2] During their stay, the HouseGuests share their thoughts on their day-to-day lives inside the house in a private room known as the Diary Room. [3] [4] Each week, the HouseGuests compete in competitions in order to win power and safety inside the house. At the start of each week, the HouseGuests compete in a Head of Household (abbreviated as "HOH") competition. [5] The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and selects two HouseGuests to be nominated for eviction. [6] Six HouseGuests are then selected to compete in the Power of Veto (abbreviated as "PoV") competition: the reigning HoH, the nominees, and three other HouseGuests chosen by random draw. The winner of the PoV competition has the right to either revoke the nomination of one of the nominated HouseGuests or leave them as is. If the veto winner uses this power, the HoH must immediately nominate another HouseGuest for eviction. The PoV winner is also immune from being named as the replacement nominee. [7] On eviction night, all HouseGuests vote to evict one of the nominees, though the Head of Household and the nominees are not allowed to vote. This vote is conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room. In the event of a tie, the Head of Household casts the tie-breaking vote. The nominee with the most votes is evicted from the house. [8] The last nine evicted HouseGuests comprise the Jury and are sequestered in a separate location following their eviction and ultimately decide the winner of the season. The Jury is only allowed to see the competitions and ceremonies that include all of the remaining HouseGuests; they are not shown any interviews or other footage that might include strategy or details regarding nominations. [9] The viewing public is able to award an additional prize by choosing "America's Favorite HouseGuest." All evicted HouseGuests are eligible to win this award except for those who either voluntarily leave or are forcibly removed for rule violations. [10]

HouseGuests

Online applications for the season were underway by January 2024 [11] while in-person casting sessions occurred in March. [12] The cast was revealed on July 15, 2024. [13] At this time it was also revealed that the houseguests would have the power to vote in a seventeenth houseguest by a majority vote. [14] This was later proved to be a ruse that introduced the seasons primary theme. [15] Among the HouseGuests are Angela Murray, a serial reality television show contestant who previously appeared on House Calls with Dr. Phil in 2021, The Price is Right in 2019, and Let's Make a Deal . [16] [17] In 2019, Brooklyn Rivera appeared on another talk show hosted by Dr. Phil. [18]

On Day 1, the first eight HouseGuests—Angela, Cam, Chelsie, Joseph, Kimo, Makensy, Rubina, and Tucker—entered the newly designed Big Brother house. Julie informed them that they would be tasked with voting to decide whether a 17th HouseGuest, Ainsley, would be allowed to enter the competition. Ainsley would need at least five of eight votes to compete. Angela, Joseph, Rubina, and Makensy voted to allow entry while Chelsie, Cam, Kimo, and Tucker voted no. Ainsley then revealed herself to be an AI creation, her name a backronym for Artificial Intelligence Network Self Learning Entity, who would affect the game. The HouseGuests then competed individually in timed memory competitions. The four that voted yes, participated for a secret power referred to as an "upgrade" to the game. The other four that voted no played a separate completion in which the loser would receive a "downgrade" that would harm their game. Makensy won her competition and received the upgrade and Chelsie lost the other competition, receiving a downgrade.

The next eight HouseGuests—Brooklyn, Cedric, Kenney, Leah, Lisa, Matt, Quinn, and T'Kor—also moved in on Day 1. They then participated in the same vote to admit Ainsley to the game, still unbeknownst to them that she is an AI entity. During this time, the first group of eight HouseGuests were isolated individually. Leah and Quinn voted to allow entry to Ainsley and the other six voted no. All eight also competed in individual upgrade and downgrade competitions that were modified from those the first eight played in. Quinn obtained an upgrade to his game and Cedric acquired the downgrade. Following the second set of the competitions, all sixteen HouseGuests were allowed to meet. Cedric and Chelsie were informed that their games were being downgraded to "mascots" for the week, not permitting them to participate in the first Head of Household or Power of Veto competitions as well as the vote to evict. Among Makensy and Quinn, one of them will receive a "Deep Fake HoH" while the other will get "America's Veto".

The HouseGuests formally introduce themselves to each other. Cam, Kimo, Tucker, and Quinn volunteered to be have-nots for the week. The contestants begin to form early alliances. Makensy received the America's Veto which allows her to anonymously remove any nominee from the block and offers viewers the chance to name the replacement nominee. Quinn acquired the Deep Fake HoH, allowing him to secretly be Head of Household for the week. Quinn will also communicate through a virtualized of the current HoH. If unused, both advantages expire after four weeks. Prior to participating in the Head of Household competition, Ainsley informs the HouseGuests that there will be three nominees each week. Ahead of the eviction, the three will battle in Ainsley's A.I. Arena competition where the winner will be saved from eviction. Ainsley hosted the "New Rule" HoH competition in which there were new rules each round. Angela beat Kenney and Leah in the final round to become the first Head of Household. Quinn confides in Angela about winning the Deep Fake HoH comp an the two form a final two alliance. Angela then contemplates who she should nominate. On Day 4, Angela nominated Kenney, Kimo, and Lisa for eviction.

Following nominations, Angela ultimately sets her sights on Kenney. She also begins feeling animosity towards Matt. Matt and Makensy are in the early stages of a possible showmance and form a three-person alliance with Leah. Makensy reveals winning America's Veto to Matt and Leah. Cam, Cedric, Chelsie, Joseph, Kimo, T'Kor, and Quinn also form an alliance called "The Collective". Angela later begins suspecting other possible alliances in the house. Joseph and Quinn pitch the Collective to Angela, but she believes they are secretly coming for her. Feeling increasingly uneasy overnight and into the next day, Angela publicly confronts Matt over breakfast. Following this, opinions of Angela quickly turn negative. Joseph and Brooklyn are chosen to compete in the Power of Veto competition along with the three nominees. Angela ultimately hopes to backdoor Matt. In the "Spelling Bee" competition, competitors searched for letters to spell the longest word possible. There were also "delete" tiles hidden, which allow letters to be "deleted" from the competition. Lisa spelled the longest word in the shortest amount of time, winning the Power of Veto. On Day 7, Lisa used the veto on herself and Angela named Matt as the replacement nominee.

Matt and Kimo begin to campaign significantly in an effort to save themselves from eviction. Tensions between Angela and others rise again when Kenney says he would be willing to purposefully lose the A.I. Arena Competition to Matt. In the A.I. Arena, Kenney, Kimo, and Matt played "Glitch in the System". The three of them viewed 16 "glitching" videos of their fellow HouseGuests that were playing simultaneously and attempt to find the HouseGuest who appeared the most. Kimo answered correctly in the shortest amount of time, saving himself from the block. Kenney and Matt are each given a few minutes to sway any last-minute votes in their favor. On Day 10, by a vote of 8–3, with Leah, Lisa, and Makensy voting to evict Kenney, Matt was evicted from the Big Brother house.
