Let's make this quick and easy...
Head of Household (HoH)
In an standard round there will be a Head of Household (better known as HoH) competition. The winner will be safe from leaving the Big Brother house for the round and will have the responsibility to nominate 2 other houseguests for eviction. Anyone winning HoH cannot compete in the following round's HoH competition unless it is during the final round when only 3 players remain.
Miscellaneous Challenges
Following the HoH competition, there may or may not be a Food and/or Reward challenge. These random challenges will pit players against one another either as teams or individuals to fight to earn rewards or to prevent themselves from having negative factors influence their game.
Rewards could be (but are not limited to) things such as extra votes, special veto powers, the coveted Coup de Etat, competition bonuses, etc.
Negative factors that might be enforced on players could be (but are not limited to) social isolation, competition hindrances, extra votes against them, automatic nomination, etc.
Golden Power of Veto (PoV)
Following the special challenge of the round (if there is one), ALL players will compete in a Veto competition. The winner of this will earn the Golden Power of Veto, allowing them to remove one of the nominees from the eviction block (even if they are one of the nominees). If the Power of Veto is used, the HoH must then name a replacement nominee (who cannot be the vetoed nominee or the Veto winner).
Votes & Evictions
Following the veto ceremony, a vote will take place in which all players vote to evict one of the two nominees. The current HoH will only vote in the case of a tie, and the two nominees will not vote. The player with the most votes cast against them for eviction will leave the house immediately. Votes should be cast in your diary room in a special thread which is labelled and only used for voting.
Be Active!
Activity is a must! Failure to participate in a challenge (no matter what kind of challenge) will earn you a strike. Failure to vote will get you a strike. Upon accumulating 3 strikes a player will be automatically and immediately evicted from the game.
Quitting and/or Expulsion
If at any time a player is evicted or quits in the middle of a round for any reason (strikes, failure to follow rules, etc.), that round will end, even if the evicted player was not one of the 2 nominees. Not only will this ensure player activity, but it will also be an incentive for HoH winners to nominate any suspected inactive players, rather than simply letting them strike out on their own.
Vacations and/or Extended Absences
If you cannot make a challenge deadline, simply give notice ahead of time to avoid getting a strike. Also, if you think you might be away during a vote, please provide a bootlist in your diary room so that your vote can be determined from that.
Diary Rooms
Diary rooms are there for entertainment purposes, and only the Hosts/Housecalls have access to your private room. There will be no requirements to write in your diary room, but when All Star selection comes around in future seasons, DR participation will be factored. Writing in your DR makes it fun for the hosts and for other players when the game is over. While I know the annoyance of trying to write all the time, please do as much as you can. Some challenges will take place in your diary rooms.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Respect the hosts. Respect others. Have fun. As the hosts we reserve the right to make the final call in any situation. We vow to be as fair and kind as possible. This is, at the end of the day, just a game, however, and we trust that you will all be adults as you play.
