Season development
On September 24, 2014, CBS announced that it had renewed Big Brother for its 17th and 18th editions for broadcast in summer 2015 and 2016, respectively. The series would continue to be hosted by Julie Chen.[4]
Twists
Teams
Similar to the cliques twist in Big Brother 11, the HouseGuests initially competed in teams, which were selected by school-yard pick before the first competition. When a HouseGuest wins Head of Household, their entire team earns immunity from nominations, while the team with the worst performance in each Head of Household competition became the Have-Nots for the week.
| Team Name | Members |
|---|---|
| Category 4 | Frank, Michelle, Paulie, Bridgette |
| Big Sister | Da'Vonne, Paul, Zakiyah, Jozea |
| Team Unicorn | James, Natalie, Victor, Bronte |
| Freakazoids | Nicole, Corey, Tiffany, Glenn |
BB Roadkill
Following the nomination ceremony, the HouseGuests competed in the BB Roadkill competition, with the winner earning the power to privately nominate a third HouseGuest for eviction. For each Roadkill competition, an RV is placed in the backyard; one at a time, HouseGuests enter the RV to complete the task. Following the competition, the HouseGuests are privately informed if they won or lost the challenge, with no obligation to ever reveal their result; the winner then names a third nominee in the Diary Room. Unlike the Head of Household, the Roadkill winner could nominate a member of his or her own team, provided their intended nominee is not immune. If the Roadkill nominee is saved by the Power of Veto, the Roadkill winner has to privately name a replacement nominee. The power to privately name a third nominee and replacement was previously seen in Big Brother 15 with the MVP, who earned the power through public vote. On Day 37, the BB Roadkill competition was officially cancelled.
Battle Back
Instead of permanent eviction, the first five evicted HouseGuests received a chance to return to the game. The first two evictees faced off in a duel, with the winner advancing to face the next evicted HouseGuest, permanently eliminating the losers; the remaining evictee will re-enter the house, following four duels. All four duels aired in a special episode on July 22; Jozea defeated Glenn in the first competition, but Victor defeated Jozea, Bronte, and Tiffany in the subsequent competitions to return to the house.[5]
| Round # | Winner | Loser |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Jozea | Glenn |
| 2 | Victor | Jozea |
| 3 | Victor | Bronte |
| 4 | Victor | Tiffany |
Round Trip Ticket
Shortly after the end of the Battle Back, Teams and Roadkill twists, the HouseGuests were alerted to the existence of a secret room within the house. To find it, HouseGuests deciphered a series of clues hidden on decorations throughout the house to uncover a five-digit code, and then dialed the code into a phone booth in the house to reveal a tunnel to the room; only one HouseGuest was allowed to enter the room at a time. Inside the room was 12 envelopes, and each HouseGuest could only claim one envelope. Inside one of the envelopes was a "Round Trip Ticket," which would allow the HouseGuest who picked it to re-enter the house immediately following eviction. Envelopes could only be opened by a HouseGuest following their eviction; If a HouseGuest opened their envelope prior to their eviction, their card would be voided. Once all remaining HouseGuests entered the room and picked tickets, they were free to enter the room with no restrictions. The tickets were valid until Day 65; Paul had the Round Trip Ticket, but was not evicted while the tickets were still valid.
America's Care Package
After Frank's eviction, Julie announced that for the next five weeks, beginning in Week 6, viewers would be able to give one HouseGuest per week a special power—or "care package"—as determined by a public vote. All five powers were revealed to the public upon the twist's introduction. The HouseGuests were made aware of this twist, though the weekly rewards were left unspecified until the package was dropped in the backyard for public unboxing. Once a HouseGuest receives a care package, they are no longer eligible to win future packages.
| Week # | Name | Description | Winner | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Never Not Pass | The winner can no longer be named a Have Not for the remainder of the season. | Natalie | Never-Not |
| 7 | Eliminate Two Eviction Votes | The winner can prevent two HouseGuests of their choice from voting in that week's eviction. | James | Paul, Corey |
| 8 | Super Safety | The winner is immune from eviction for the week, but must also wear a "Super Safety" costume all week long. | Nicole | Immune |
| 9 | Co-HoH | The winner automatically becomes Co-HoH, earning immunity and the right to choose one of the two nominees. | Michelle | Paul, Corey[lower-alpha 1] |
| 10 | BB Bribe | The winner gets $5,000 to be given as a bribe to one other HouseGuest to complete a particular task. | Corey | Victor Bribed to vote against Michelle |

Summary
| Week 1 |
|---|
| The twelve new HouseGuests (HGs) entered the House. Then, Julie Chen told them about the first twist: four HGs from previous seasons would join them. During the introductions, Paulie revealed his secret of being Big Brother 16 runner-up Cody Calafiore's brother. Tiffany decided to hold out about her sister, Big Brother 17 HouseGuest Vanessa Rousso, although Da'Vonne already knew Tiffany's secret and planned to use it to her advantage. Some of the new HGs set on sticking together and running the returnees out of the house; at the same time, the returnees knew they needed some of the newbies on their side to stand any chance of surviving.
Later on, the HGs went outside to form four teams, each headed by a returnee. Julie Chen told the teams about a second twist: they would compete in four competitions. The winning team of each game would be safe and exempt from the next one. The last team remaining would then have to compete against each other as individuals. The loser of the final part would be evicted from the House. The remaining three would then decide among themselves which of their own would be the first Head of Household (HoH).
Big Sister became Have-Nots, Category 4 went to Mystery Land, and the Freakazoids received $10,000. Team Unicorn received immunity for two evictions. The three remaining teams then battled in a three-part competition called Hit the Road (HtR).
Category 4 won the competition and were therefore immune from eviction and exempted from the succeeding parts.
Big Sister won the competition. They were therefore immune from eviction and exempted from the final part in which the Freakazoids would then go head-to-head.
Nicole finished first, with Tiffany finishing second and Corey barely edging out Glenn when the latter displaced some of his coconuts upon grabbing his flag. Glenn lost and was evicted immediately. The remaining members of the Freakazoids decided Nicole should be HoH, much to the dismay of the other newbies, who originally planned of getting rid of the returnees early in the game. As HoH, Nicole considered Da'Vonne's advice and targeted Jozea, whom Da'Vonne felt was leading the returnee revolt. She nominated Jozea and Paulie for eviction, with Paulie agreeing as a pawn. To gain the numbers, the returnees pulled in newbies Zakiyah, Michelle, Corey, and Tiffany to form the "8 Pack" alliance. Julie then informed the HGs of a new twist called the "BB Roadkill" competition.
Frank was the winner. Natalie, Bronte, and Bridgette formed the "Spy Girls" alliance; they did so, however, in full view of Tiffany, who then informed the 8 Pack of this alliance. As a punishment for landing in "Mystery Land," Category 4 had to wear "pixelated" costumes for the entire week. At the Roadkill ceremony, Frank secretly nominated Paul. Corey and Da'Vonne were selected to join Nicole, Jozea, Paulie, and Paul for the Power of Veto (PoV) competition.
Paul was the winner and at the Veto ceremony, took himself off the block, forcing Frank to name Bridgette secretly as the replacement nominee. Jozea, confident he had the votes to stay, was evicted by a 7-4 vote, with Team Unicorn, except for James, and Paul voting to evict Paulie. Julie then informed Jozea about the "Battle Back" competition and that he would compete against the next evicted HG. |
| Week 2 |
Following Jozea's eviction, the HGs participated in a new HoH competition.
Category 4 won the competition, giving them immunity from this week's eviction, and Paulie became the new HoH. Paulie targeted Team Unicorn for voting to evict him, with a plan to backdoor Victor for being a physical threat. He then proceeded to nominate Bronte and Paul, who offered himself as a pawn to gain the trust of the House.
Victor won the competition. He revealed his win to Paulie, who then disclosed it to other HGs. At the Roadkill ceremony, Victor secretly nominated Tiffany for lack of association with him. With Paul aware of the plan to backdoor his closest ally, Victor, he advised him not to be too trusting of and tell too much information to everyone, but the latter disagreed. Tiffany became emotional and paranoid about being the target but Paulie and her allies assured her she was safe. They, however, thought she was starting to play like her sister Vanessa and considered voting her out instead. Da'Vonne and Zakiyah were selected to join Paulie, Bronte, Paul, and Tiffany for the PoV competition.
Paulie was the winner. Da'Vonne told Paulie and her allies about Tiffany's attempt to win the competition despite their wishes for her to throw it to prevent Victor from nominating someone from their alliance. This attempt reinforced their suspicions on her gameplay. At the Veto ceremony, however, Paulie pushed through with his plan, taking Paul off the block and naming Victor as the replacement nominee. Victor was evicted by a 9-1 vote, with Paul voting to evict Bronte. During this week, Jozea and Glenn also faced off in the Battle Back competition.
Jozea was the winner and will face off against next week's evictee. Glenn was permanently eliminated from the game. |
| Week 3 |
Following Victor's eviction, the HGs participated in the new HoH competition.
Bridgette was the winner, thereby making her Category 4 teammates also immune from this week's eviction. The other HouseGuests felt that her HoH would be more of Frank's HoH because they were close allies and she trusted him well. With Frank's advice, Bridgette nominated Paul and Tiffany for eviction, with Tiffany as the target for being a loose cannon. Despite being in the 8 Pack, Frank and Tiffany also did not get along well.
Frank was the winner, and at the Roadkill ceremony, secretly nominated Bronte for eviction. Bridgette was upset that her Spy Girls ally was nominated again, not knowing ironically that it was her closest ally Frank who did it. Natalie and Paulie were selected to join Bridgette, Bronte, Paul, and Tiffany for the PoV competition.
Bridgette was the winner and chose Big Sister to join Category 4 for the reward dinner. At the Veto ceremony, Bridgette kept her nominations the same. Frank was confident that Tiffany would be evicted. Da'Vonne, still having issues with Frank, rallied the rest of the 8 Pack to flip the vote against Bronte, knowing that Tiffany would go after Frank. On eviction night, Frank and Bridgette were blindsided when Bronte was evicted by a 5-4 vote. During this week, Jozea and Victor also faced off in the Battle Back competition.
Victor was the winner and will face off against next week's evictee. Jozea became permanently eliminated from the game. |
| Week 4 |
Following Bronte's eviction, the HGs participated in the new HoH competition. Earlier they watched several caricatured photos of the first three evicted HGs on a European trip on the Memory Wall.
Paulie was the winner, thereby making his Category 4 teammates also immune from this week's eviction and, much to the dismay of the 8 Pack, postponing their plan of evicting Frank. Despite being enemies the previous week, Tiffany, Frank, and Bridgette aligned after being outcasts in the House. They planned on targeting Paulie's alliance with Zakiyah, Nicole, and Corey for running the House in the past weeks. Paulie proceeded to nominate Natalie and Tiffany for eviction, shifting the target back on Tiffany.
Tiffany was the winner, and at the Roadkill ceremony, secretly named her teammate and Paulie's closest ally, Corey, for eviction in hopes of shifting the power in the House. She told Da'Vonne she was the Roadkill winner but Da'Vonne decided not to reveal this information to the 8 Pack to avoid further tension with Tiffany. Da'Vonne and Paul were selected to join Paulie, Natalie, Tiffany, and Corey for the PoV competition.
Corey was the winner, but considered not using the Veto on himself for fear of Nicole being nominated in his place. Shortly after the competition Da'Vonne started getting paranoid, which made Tiffany suspicious. At the Roadkill ceremony, Corey removed himself from the block, and Tiffany secretly nominated Da'Vonne in his place, hoping the House would see the latter as a bigger threat. Despite Tiffany campaigning hard to stay in the House, she was still evicted by an 8-0-0 vote. During this week, Victor and Bronte also faced off in the Battle Back competition.
Victor was the winner and will face off against next week's evictee. Bronte was permanently eliminated from the game. |
| Week 5 |
| Following Tiffany's eviction,
Julie revealed to the HouseGuests that both the team and Roadkill twists were dissolved. Julie also announced to the HouseGuests that the first five evicted HouseGuests competed in the Battle Back competition. Victor was revealed to be the champion of the Battle Back duels and he returned to the House. Julie then revealed a twist to the viewers that would be in play for the next five weeks—in the House, there are secret clues to discover a secret room. Any HouseGuest who discovers this secret room will have the opportunity to claim an envelope. One envelope will hold a round trip ticket. Once a HouseGuest gets evicted, their envelope will be opened. If they have the round trip ticket, their eviction will be null, and they will head back into the House with another shot at the half million dollars. Following Victor's return,
On Day 38, James nominated Bridgette and Frank for eviction, with Frank as the target. On Day 39, James, Bridgette and Frank, as well as Michelle, Da'Vonne and Nicole, competed in the veto competition.
Michelle won the Power of Veto. On Day 41, Michelle decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 42, all the HouseGuests solved the clues and discovered the secret room. On Day 44, Frank was evicted by a unanimous 9-0 vote. Frank was revealed not to have the round trip ticket. Julie also revealed another twist to the viewers-- "America's Care Package"—where for the next five weeks, America had the opportunity to vote to send a care package to a HouseGuest. Once a HouseGuest receives a care package, they may not receive a future one. |

Following Frank's eviction,
Paul was the winner. For being the bottom four performers in the Head of Household competition, Corey, Natalie, Paulie, and Zakiyah became Have-Nots for the week.

The HouseGuests celebrated how far they have survived as they enjoyed a carnival, with a chance to win prizes such as $5,000, a tech-pack containing a new TV, tablet, and smartphone, along with a performance from Ziggy Marley. They also picked pies to determine Have-Nots for the week, as well as an advantage in the next Head of Household competition. Michelle, James and Victor became Have-Nots for the week. After the carnival,
Natalie was the winner. Michelle received America's Care Package, which contained the power of co-HOH. She and Natalie will both have safety, share the HOH room and will each name one nominee.

Notes
- ^Note 1 : As Victor was the last HouseGuest standing in the opening competition, Team Unicorn won immunity from the first two evictions.
- ^Note 2 : After Team Unicorn won immunity from the first competition, the members of the other three teams competed in a three-round competition, with the losing HouseGuest after the third becoming evicted. Teams competed in the first two rounds; Category 4 and Big Sister won, earning safety. The remaining team, Freakazoids, competed in the third round individually. Glenn lost the competition and became automatically evicted. The team then had to choose one of their remaining teammates to become the first Head of Household; they chose Nicole.
- ^Note 3 : During the team phase of the game, the Head of Household's teammates earned immunity from eviction for the week. The team phase ended after week 4.
- ^Note 4 : The winner of the Roadkill competition earned the power to nominate one HouseGuest for eviction. The Roadkill competition winner makes their nomination privately, and the HouseGuest is not obligated to reveal their identity. If the veto is used to save the Roadkill-nominated HouseGuest, the Roadkill winner also privately nominates the replacement. Their nominations become shown in bold. The final Roadkill competition was in week 4.
- ^Note 5 : Instead of permanent eviction, the first five evicted HouseGuests received a chance to return to the game through the "Battle Back" competition. The first two evictees faced off in a duel, in which the winner advanced to face the next evicted HouseGuest, and the loser became permanently eliminated; following four duels, Victor was the last evictee standing and re-entered the house on Day 37.
- ^Note 6 : For winning the "Eliminate Two Eviction Votes" Care Package, James was awarded the power to block two HouseGuests from voting in that week's eviction; he chose Corey and Paul.
- ^Note 7 : This week was a double eviction week. Following the first eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week's worth of games—including HoH and Veto competitions and Nomination, Veto and Eviction ceremonies—during the remainder of the live show, culminating in a second eviction for the week.
- ^Note 8 : For winning the "Super Safety" Care Package, Nicole was awarded immunity for the week.
- ^Note 9 : For winning the "Co-HoH" Care Package, Michelle was named Co-Head of Household, earning the right to make one of the nominations and replacement, if necessary. Michelle's nominations are shown in bold.
- ^Note 10 : During the Head of Household competition in Week 10, the first five jurors — Da'Vonne, Zakiyah, Bridgette, Paulie, and Victor — competed for an opportunity to come back into the game. The juror who lasted the longest would return to the game to win and be eligible to become Head of Household if that juror finished first amongst the other HouseGuests in the competition. Victor outlasted the other jurors and re-entered the house.
- ^Note 11 : For winning the "BB Bribe" Care Package, Corey earned $5000 to give to another HouseGuest; accepting the bribe would force that HouseGuest into completing the task. Corey bribed Victor in exchange for voting against Michelle.
- ^Note 12 : As Head of Household, Nicole was forced to break the tie on Day 79.
- ^Note 13 : During the finale, the jury members voted for which finalist should win Big Brother.

Controversy and criticism
Bronte D'Acquisto and Paul Abrahamian were captured on live feed making racist remarks about fellow HouseGuest James Huling, who is ethnically Korean.[62] Although Huling is a lifelong resident of the United States, D'Acquisto stated that she "will send [Huling] back to Hong Kong".[63][64][65] In another incident, while discussing Huling, D'Acquisto said: "I want to kick his little Asian ass back to Hong Kong. Wherever he came from."[65][66][67] Furthermore, Abrahamian referred to Huling as a "little Korean man" on multiple occasions.[65][68] These incidents were not aired on the CBS television broadcasts.[62][67]
Jozea Flores also created controversy during the beginning of the live feeds, saying that the 4th of July should not be a holiday. When a comment became brought up that "a lot of Americans died for our freedom," Flores replied with, "ain't nobody told them to do that." While his remarks did not make the live feeds, many of the HouseGuests talked about it.[69]
Corey Brooks faced some criticism due to homophobic tweets that were found on his Twitter account, as well as homophobic remarks he made while inside the house.[70][71][72] Brooks also faced more controversy after telling a story on the live feeds of his friend attempting to burn a goat. This was not shown on the CBS television broadcasts.[73]
Paulie Calafiore made a series of offensive remarks to fellow HouseGuest Natalie Negrotti about her breast implants. Upon realizing that the house had grown weary of his abuse and running the game, including Negrotti, Calafiore began a campaign of harassment referring to Negrotti's implants and body. Calafiore routinely referring to Natalie as "F.T." (Fake Tits)[74] and telling Negrotti that she was "as fake as those things on her chest."[75] Calafiore also received criticism for his misogynistic and sexist comments about women from New Jersey, stating they "play" men and "spit them out and eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner." He referred to these type of women as "Jersey Girls" and afterward received backlash from female viewers, particularly those from New Jersey, viewing it as a derogatory comment and reinforcing stereotypes.[76][77][78]
Notes
- Michelle originally nominated Paul for eviction, however, after he won the veto and saved himself, Corey was nominated by Michelle as a replacement.
