- GENERAL -

The game will follow the same general format as U.S. Big Brother. Each week, an HOH will be crowned, and that player must nominate two players for eviction. The HOH, the 2 nominees, and 3 other players will participate in a Power of Veto competition where one player will earn the right to veto one of the HOH’s nominations if they so choose. If the veto is used, the HOH must make a replacement nominee. The cast, minus the HOH and 2 nominees, will then vote to evict one of the two nominees.

- ACTIVITY -

Failure to cast an eviction vote will result in a penalty vote - an extra vote against you the next time you are on the block after the veto ceremony has been completed.

If you fail to vote to cast an eviction vote twice, you will be ejected from the game.

- COMPETITIONS/TIMELINE -

Competitions will be around 80% live and will begin at 7 EST, typically lasting 20-40 minutes.

After the HOH competition, the newly crowned HOH will have 2 hours to make their nominations in the Tengaged forum.

After the nominees are finalized, the veto drawing will take place. The HOH and two nominees automatically receive a spot in the competition, and will each draw a random name to play (via Chatzy). There will be 2 houseguest choice chips in the randomly selected list, and if selected whoever drew that chip will select a player themselves. If a player draws a “Houseguest Choice” chip and does not make a choice within an hour, their choice will be randomized.

The next day, the POV Competition will take place. In the event that not all selected players check-in to the competition, another random draw will take place with those players who have checked-in but do not have a spot in the competition. Only the 3 “extra” players can be replaced - the HOH and 2 nominees will not be.

After the Veto winner is crowned, the veto holder will have 1 hour to decide if they are using the power of veto or not. If it is used, the HOH will have 2 hours to make their replacement nominee. The HOH is allowed to send in a conditional nominee ahead of time in case the POV is used, and they are unsure if they will be online. If the HOH does not name a replacement, the new nominee will be randomized.

Everyone except the HOH and two nominees will then have until 6:30 EST the following day to cast their eviction votes. Once the eviction has been announced, this cycle repeats and the next HOH competition begins at 7 PM EST.

Day 1: Eviction Results + HOH Competition + Nominations
Day 2: POV Competiton + Veto Ceremony

-REMOVAL-

Removal from the game can result in the following ways:

QUIT: If you quit the game, you may not return for any future seasons. You will be removed immediately after your quit is requested.

EXPULSION: We reserve the right to expel any player from the game for cheating or behavior that is deemed to be inherently harmful to the environment of the game. Players will not be expelled merely for fighting, bullying, complaining, etc - but we use a Three Strike system for crossing the line, whether that's by making your peers uncomfortable, excessive personal attacks unrelated to the game, or another offense. If an offense is heinous enough immediate expulsion is a possibility.

Sharing private information of players to outside parties is prohibited. This includes sharing a player’s Skype user or personal information about players to outside parties.

- DIARY ROOM-

During the season, Diary Room sessions will be stored in a Google document as opposed to a Tengaged group.

They will not be shared until the end of the season, so feel free to write whatever you want in them! But don't say anything you’ll regret later, as they will come to light eventually.

We encourage you all to send detailed DR sessions as it can improve your chances of getting awards, influence your Jokers rating, and help your chances of returning in the future!

If you’d prefer to use Skype rather than Tengaged mails to send DR sessions then please remember to add BOTH hosts to a group production chat. (thewinner.tengaged & anyonebutid).

If you decide to use Skype for confessionals, we ask that you send your thoughts in bulk in as few messages as possible and preface them with "DR:". (i.e. Don't send a new message for every new sentence so that we have 30 messages we have to copy and paste into the Google Doc).

- VL DIARY ROOM SESSIONS -

Diary Room Sessions also can be posted to the Skype VL during the game for the purpose of entertaining the viewers and keeping them updated on your game. It is up to you if you decide to send any of these viewer-specific confessionals. Leaking is always a risk, so please do not share too much info about the game in your VL confessionals. We reserve the right to not post in the VL if we feel too much info is being shared. Please use discretion, and only share things that you wouldn’t mind other cast members potentially seeing. There could potentially be some slight involvement from the VL throughout the game relating to twists.

When sending one please title them with “For VL” or something similar. All DR sessions will be assumed to be normal secret sessions unless explicitly stated in your mail / message that it is intended for the VL.
