BigBruv's Big Brother

BigBruv's Big Brother began on 23 August 2012. The series, which took place on the virtual reality online site Tengaged, will last ten weeks before airing a USA version of the show.

Format
Nominations take the same format as the revived series of Big Brother Australia. Housemates are called to the diary room where they are given the whole day to nominate. The nominating housemate is given six nomination points which they can split however they want between their two nominees. The three or more housemates with the most nominations face the public vote. If it's the four or more housemates, then it's a double eviction.

Eviction lines open at midnight when nominations are over. The Tengaged Public are given the day to vote for the housemate they would most like to save from being evicted. In other cases, like the first eviction of the first series, the public were voting for the intruder (new housemate) they would like to become a housemate. The housemate or housemates with the least votes, are sent home and are evicted. Evictees can return as shown in Series One, where Jack returned as a replacement for a housemate who walked.

Ejection is where a housemate is removed for certain behaviour or have reached over the limit of three strikes. Housemates are given strikes for being inactive for a whole day. This means that if a housemate is inactive for four days (fourth strike), they are ejected and will be unable to return.

Walking is where a housemate decides to leave off their own back, due to any reason. Housemates who walk can return at any stage in the game at the discretion of BigBruv.

Format
The format for the USA version of BigBruv's Big Brother is largely unchanged from the actual show.

Head of Households and Veto Players are chosen by the public, therefore there is no HOH competition, just a Veto competition. The three veto players chosen by the public, along with the HOH and two nominees, take part in a non-live challenge. For the first HOH competition, BigBruv would simply tell the housemates to mail him. The first to mail him will become Head of Household. For all furthur challenges, BigBruv will ask housemates five questions about the show and the contestants. Question 1 will be for 1 point, Q2 for 2 points etc. Veto competitions take place live.

Nominations is where the Head of Household nominates two people for eviction. The two nominees can participate in the Power of Veto competition where they will have the chance to be saved or save themselves.

Eviction the voting for the eviction does not take place live. Votes are recorded throughout the day, then at 4-5pm EST, and 10-11pm in the UK, the results are announced to the group live.
