This season your ‘groupings’ will be the people you may turn out to rely on the most.

Throughout the pre-jury stage of this game, if someone who is in your pact wins Head of Household, the entire pact are safe for the round. You are not relied to use a veto to save a pact member, just you cannot nominate them if you are Head of Household. You equally are able to evict a pact member if you choose to.

On the contrary, should a pact member be EVICTED, the remaining pact members are safe. Therefore you cannot just gang up on any one specific pact. This means that a maximum of two pacts each round will be immune each round. If you are in the pact who received immunity for a pact member being evicted, you are still eligible to win Head of Household the round after, meaning your pact would be the only immune pact.

Come the commencement of the jury stage, the pact with the most remaining members will be rewarded with the power of a double vote each, which can be used any time during the game, with the final round it being eligible is Final 6. Should any pacts have the same number of members, but it be the most, they would all qualify for an extra vote.

The second pre-jury twist to exist is that for the first 3 rounds, you will have the possibility to play one competition that can give you some power. You have until before the first Power of Veto competition to sign yourself up to whichever virtue you will be competing in, and once you are locked you cannot change. It will be revealed when the first competition is set who has signed up to what.

The time window to compete in each competition is from the conclusion of the Power of Veto ceremony until the commencement of the Head of Household competition the following round.

Winners will be informed that they have won at the end of each game round.

The three powers / tasks:
Week 1: ‘Golden Empire’ - Spam
Week 2: ‘Get to it, Quick!’ - Speed
Week 3: ‘Stop the Clock’ - General Knowledge

[view this similar to the 'Whacktivity Competitions' from BB21]

Certain powers have more value than others, but all have power.

The final 'twist' is for a specific pre-jury week. Week 3.

At the round of Final 16 there will be 2 Heads of Household. Each will nominate 2 houseguests. However, both HoHs will come from the same group.

The HoH winner is the first HoH, and the second will be the houseguest who placed second in the same clique as the HoH.

Should a PoV be used, whichever HoH nominated the vetoed nominee will have control of the replacement nominee.

Finally, should the eviction vote TIE, whoever WON the HoH competition would be the one who breaks the tie.

Every houseguest will have 3 eviction points to cast, bar the nominees and HoH's. You must split your points in a 2-1 manner, giving one houseguest 2 points, and a second houseguest 1 point. You cannot split 1-1-1-0, nor can you pile 3-0-0-0. 2-1-0-0.

This will then be followed by the entire round of F14, making week 3 JRBB's first Triple Eviction.

WEEK 1 TASK:

This competition is called "Golden Empire" and here's how it works:

Simply, between now and 6pm EST tomorrow, you must get as many tengagers not in this season of JRBB to send me a mail saying *Join's [YOUR NAME]'s Empire*.

The houseguest with the most followers by 6pm EST tomorrow will win this prize and be informed of their winnings. The losers will not be contacted.

Any one tengager can join numerous empires, but may only join each one once. Should there be a tie, whoever had the last tengager join their empire first of those in the tie would win.

WEEK 2 TASK:

This competition is called ‘Get to it, Quick!’ and here’s how it works:

You have until 6pm EST tomorrow to compete.
You must simply send 15 mails in numerical order (1-15) in the quickest amount of time.

Beware, you only get one attempt. If your mails are out of order, you will be disqualified.

The houseguest who completes this task in the quickest time period will win this Power.
Timings will be judged off of my tengaged mails.

If there is a tie, whoever competed first would win out of those in the tie.

WEEK 3 TASK:

This competition is called ‘Stop the Clock’ and here’s how it works:

This competition will be played on Skype. I will simply ask you 3 general knowledge questions, one at a time, and to win you must be the houseguest to answer all three correctly in the quickest period of time.

I will post a question and your time will start. Once you post the correct answer, I will instantly post your next question.

NOTE: if you answer any questions INCORRECTLY, you will incur a +10 second time penalty for each incorrect answer.

You have until 6pm EST tomorrow to compete.
