BigBruv's Big Brother 1

BigBruv's Big Brother 1 USA began on 7 September 2012, shortly after the first UK edition had finished. The winner of BigBruv's Big Brother 1 UK automatically won a spot in this season along with four other ex-housemates who participated as coaches.

Twists
Before the game starts, BigBruv opened a poll stating which twist Tengaged would like to see happen anytime throughout the game, out of the following options; The three with the highest votes played a role in BigBruv's Big Brother 1 USA. Secret Partners, Couples and Dynamic Duos cannot be played at the same time, as well as America's Player and Saboteur, therefore if any of these entered the top three together, the one with the highest amount of votes was played and the twist that came fourth place (or below) would play a roll in the game.

Auditions
There are three stages to applying for the show. Once at least twenty-four hopefuls have applied to be a HouseGuest, auditions will close (along with the Twist poll) and the twenty-four tengagers will be narrowed down to just twelve. There are three stages to the auditions process;
 * Stage 1: Applications
 * Stage 2: Activity Checks
 * Stage 3: Interviews

Applications
When the group revamped from the UK edition to the new USA edition, auditions openED and the Tengaged Community had the chance to enter the house. Thirty applied and the Applications closed. Applicants were asked the basics; their real name, age, Karma, Color Level and Hometown. The applicants didn't have to describe themselves in full until the interview.

Activity Checks
In between the applications and interview, their were numerous activity checks (two) to see how active the applicants are. The least active ones from each check were eliminated without furthur action.

Interviews
When 22 remained, they were all interviewed. The most interesting interviewees will be given a key to the Big Brother House where they will remain for twelve weeks. (Note: weeks in the group game are shorter than real life weeks).

Other Contenders
