16 houseguests move into the Big Brother house with no contact from the outside world. Each week, everyone competes for Head of Household (HoH). The winner is safe and nominates two people for eviction. The nominated houseguests, plus a few others chosen at random, compete in the Power of Veto. If a nominee wins (or someone else uses it on them), they can remove a nominee from the block, and the HoH names a replacement. The rest of the house votes to evict one of the final nominees. The HoH doesn't vote except to break a tie. Once enough players are evicted, the jurors begin forming the jury, who later vote for the winner. At the end, the Final 2 plead their case, and the jury crowns the champion. Alliances, lies, betrayals, and social strategy are just as important as winning competitions.
