Additionally, at one point during the season prior to the re-entry of a houseguest, the Ruined Palace will not contain a vote and instead will have a Purge competition where three Ruined Palace houseguests will battle, and only one will survive.

This season, there are four possible competitions you may encounter in the Ruined Palace, excluding the Purge round.

They are:
- Speed
- Trivia
- Luck
- Skill

One type of Ruined Palace competition cannot be used again until all are used, and it will be randomised each round which occurs.

WEEK 1: SKILL

This competition is called 'Grab the Cash' and here's how it works:

This competition is a 30 minute mini-endurance task, which you must have COMPLETED by 4pm EST tomorrow.

The way this works is that to begin you will mail me the phrase *Releases Cash*.

Every 3 minutes after that post, you must mail the phrase *Claims Cash #[X]* with X representing the number of post.

You will mail the *Claims Cash* phrase 10 times, with your number increasing by 1 each 3 minutes.

For example, if you send your first mail, *Releases Cash*, at 20:50:00 [tengaged timestamp time], your next mail, *Claims Cash #1*, must be sent at 20:53:00; then at 20:56:00; 20:59:00; 21:02:00, etc. All subsequent mails after your *Releases Cash* mail are based on what time the cash release mail was sent.

For every second you are off the correct time, you will gain 1 point.

After 30 minutes, and you have claimed cash #10, your challenge will be finished.

The player with the least points will win the Ruined Palace competition this week and be safe.  The losers will face the vote from their fellow houseguests.

If there is a TIE, whoever dropped any points in the earliest mail would lose.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

With a total score of 1 point...

As the current Head of Household, Álvaro will now break the tie, publicly in this forum.

If he fails to do so within 5 minutes, then the vote he has already given will be the vote that goes through.

I'm sorry DJ. I already nominated Eli and I don't think it's fair for me to do it again.

I vote DJ

It's official, DJ, you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

WEEK 2: LUCK

This competition is called 'Luck of the Draw', and here's how it works.

In this competition, you need good luck, with a part of strategy incorporated.

Ahead of you is 3 different areas.

You will have 5 different gos, and for each go you must select an area.

Then, chatzy will randomise the amount of points you earn in that area.

AREA 1:
Options: 2, 2, 3, 5, 7

AREA 2:
Options: 0, 0, 3, 10, 20

AREA 3:
Options: 0, 0, 0, 2, 10, 15, 30

Your aim is to score as many points as possible, as the person who scores the most will because safe from the Ruined Palace vote for this round.

In addition, there will also be a tiebreaker spin of numbers 1-20, just as a precaution for if two houseguests tie.

With a total of 24 points...
