TWIST ALERT

[Julie Chen]

It is time for a big announcement. The 16 of you entered the house, but there were actually 24 people playing this game.

Why?

Because there was another house, called the Big Brother Mini house, of 8 contestants who were playing a mirror game to the 16 of you. The 8 houseguests had one thing in common—they had all played in the Recycled series, and they all came up short. They were evicted for various reasons, but they were all not invited to compete in the All-Stars game. They were given a second chance to win Big Brother Recycled.

They would participate in HOHs, nominations, POVs, and evictions just as you all did. Once 6 of them had been evicted, the remaining 2 would join the All-Star house as regular houseguests competing for the title of winner of All-Stars.

Who are the 8 houseguests who competed for a second chance? Well, let's find out.

Please welcome ASHLEA from Big Brother Recycled 3!

Next is BRIAN from Big Brother Recycled 2!

Next we have CHELSIA from Big Brother Recycled 2!

Please welcome CHIMA from Big Brother Recycled 2!

5th up is GEORGE from Big Brother Recycled 3!

Up next is JEFF from Big Brother Recycled 1!

Here we have MICHELE from Big Brother Recycled 1!

And last but not least, say hello to NICK from Big Brother Recycled 3!

Which 2 of these 8 houseguests will make it into the Big Brother Recycled All-Stars house? It's time to find out...

[Julie Chen]

Week 1


8 houseguests entered the Big Brother Mini house with one goal in mind: redemption.

Brian: Haha! This is very scary but also extremely exciting!! Hopefully the 2 of us that make it will have each others back
Chelsia: I agree. It will be extra fun!

The houseguests competed in their first HOH competition, titled "Survivor Mini", in which they played a miniature Survivor game. After winning the final immunity, Michele decided to bring Chima to the end with her, where Chima ended up winning the jury votes in a 4-1 vote.

Chima: I am the first, head of household, again, lol. We're all here to claim one of two places in the, All-star, house, so let's get to it...I nominated, Jeff and Nick for eviction this week.

Jeff, I'm sorry, I respect your honesty and I thought for a long time about this, but, I have to nominate you as the only person who didn't vote for me to win.

Nick, I told you I would keep you safe, but your name come up the most after my final tally.

At the Power of Veto competition, "Veto Auction" Jeff fought hard and won the Veto. Other houseguests won various items.

At the Veto ceremony, he was quick to save himself from the chopping block.

Jeff: I choose to use the veto on myself. Chima, as HOH, you have to replace me.

Chima: *stands* Since, Jeff, has chosen to remove himself from the block...I have to put up his main ally...and that would be...MICHELE!

Michele, I'm sorry, but I know Jeff has a connection with you of sorts and I have a really bad feeling that if you were to win, HoH, he could convince you to nominate me. Good luck.


And by a vote of 5-0, Michele became the first person to leave the Big Brother Mini house.

Week 2


In last week's veto competition Nick and Chelsia won Freeze Powers, where they couldn't compete or vote in anything for the week. The potential houseguests competed in their second HOH competition "Post It", in which they had to post as much as they could in five minutes. Just barely beating George was Jeff and he was crowned the new HOH.

Chima: * throws the hoh key on the ground * Fetch!!

Jeff: Hey, as HoH I am required to nominate 2 houseguest for eviction, but first would like to backtrack to last weeks HOH competition. As many of you may know Chima had approached me about working together in the Competition, and I told her I could probably get Michele to work with us, so that's what we did we voted the same way and made it to the f3 of that competition. At which point Michele took Chima with her to f2 of that comp. Now at this point we were all under the impression whomever won would keep the other 2 safe. Michele asked me to vote for her and I did because she had asked me first everyone else voted for Chima to win and Chima became HoH either way we all won. Chima then asked me if I voted for her and I said no, Michele asked me first. She took this as an act against her, she then nominated me and Nick. Then told me not to take it personally then when I won pov she nominated the other person who got her to win HoH. I don't know about any of you, but Honesty is a quality that should be respect, not punished.

Now back to this week, Chima you will not get you key this week, and I really hope you leave this week you are a shady bitch. Now for the other nominee. George I've only nominated you because we have never spoken. It's Chima that me and several others want gone this week.

At the Power of Veto competition, "Big Brother Bank" the potential houseguests had to divide their 10 coins into others banks. They would be eliminated if they received more than 14. Chima and Jeff went over 14 coins so with 6 coins, Brian won the veto.

At the Veto ceremony, George used a power he won in last week's veto to force Brian to use the veto on him. Since Chelsia and Nick were Frozen, Ashlea was the automatic replacement.

At the eviction, a vote of 3-0 spared George. Chima had become the second evicted.

--------------------

Right after Chima's eviction the potential houseguests had to compete in a double eviction week. They competed in "Majority Rules". Brian won his second competition in a row and he was crowned the new HOH.


Brian had to quickly nominate two people for eviction. He chose George and Chelsia.

At the Power of Veto competition, "STAB" potential houseguests have to eliminate each other in 5 rounds. Ashlea went on to win the veto.

At the Veto ceremony, Ashlea chose to not use the veto. George used another power that he obtained in week one's veto competition to put Jeff on the block with Chelsia and himself.

In the end, George was evicted by a vote of 2-0-0.

Week 3


The next HOH competition was called "Where's Waldo?", in which they raced to find Waldo pictures. The competition was close, but Nick came out on top. At the nomination ceremony, he targeted the least active player.

Nick: Hey guys. I can't even begin to explain to you how difficult this nomination ceremony was to plan. All of you have been crucial allies of mine at one time or another, and we have all pretty much been working together to get to this point. It is unfortunately that I had to make some choices this week that were impossible, but ultimately we are playing this game to get into the All Star House. My choices tonight were based activity (we all want active players to represent us in the All Star House), strength (we all want strong players representing us), and loyalty (I certainly want to keep the people around that have been the most loyal to me in this game). With such criteria for my nominations tonight, it was a monumental task, but my decisions I think are for the good of the group.

I have nominated BRIAN and CHELSIA for eviction this week.

CHELSIA-- You have been a great ally, but unfortunately, you have yet to win a competition. I don't like players who skate through games, and I don't think you would be beneficial to take to the All Star House. I want people going into the house who are the MOST active, all Brian, Drew and Ashlea, have all won challenges.

BRIAN--I nominated you because communication with you seems to have hit a lull. Ashlea and Drew have been good about keeping me abreast of their thoughts and plans, and I feel after you won HoH last week, you and I have lost touch. Know that you are not my target this week, but I couldn't justify nominating Ashlea or Drew who have been amazingly communicative the past week, even before my winning HoH.

I hope these nominations are taken with respect. There is nothing personal about my nominations this week and I wish everyone the best of luck in the veto. That competition will probably have more of an impact on who goes home this week than my nominations. With that, this meeting is adjourned.

The Power of Veto competition, "Words Are Friends!" Ashlea was the first to list every phrase posted in a youtube video and claimed her second veto in a row.

At the Veto ceremony, Ashlea shocked the house.

Ashlea: Ok this is a really tough decision for me to make. I love everyone left in the game. I want to respect Nick's nominations but I have to use the Veto on... Chelsia. Which means Jeff has to go on the block be default.


After a tie vote of 1-1, Nick had to break the tie and ultimately evicted Jeff.

[Julie Chen]

Week 4


The final 4 HOH was "Making Statements" where the potential houseguests had to figure out which statements were made by the previously evicted players.

With a perfect score, Brian claimed victory.

Brian: I only have one key this week and it goes to someone who I think would be able to take me to the end...Nick, you are safe.

I've nominated you Chelsia and you Ashlea. My reasoning comes from the last veto meeting, and it seemed like you guys just teamed up against myself and Jeff. I had no idea you guys were working together and it scares me. Good luck nominees.

At the final veto competition called "Originality" the final 4 had to remember who was originally nominated every week. With a perfect score, Nick claimed his first veto.

Nick decided to not use the veto and he made quick work at the eviction.

Nick: First of all, I want to tell you both, that I am honored to have played this game with both of you. This game has been fun and I thank both of you for being amazing!

ASHLEA--You have been a great friend and an excellent ally. This past week, however, I found you to be wishy-washy and then you made a decision to save Chelsia, forcing the nomination and eviction for Jeff, a person that I thought deserved and earned his spot in the F4 over Chelsia (no offense, Chelsia). It is slightly ironic that my choice is now between you and Chelsia, the person you refused to allow to be evicted last week.

CHELSIA--I was honest and upfront with you about why I nominated you last week. You needed to step up in the challenges and prove that you deserved to be here. I am looking for strong players to go in the All Star House to represent us, and I wanted you to prove that you could fulfill that. Unfortunately, Ashlea won the veto to save you last week, Brian won HoH, and I won the veto, all of which would have saved you from being evicted during these times. Wouldn't I be hypocritical to keep you at this point, where you have yet to win a challenge in this game?

Surprisingly, this decision couldn't have come any easier...I vote to evict...Chelsia.

And with that Chelsia was the fifth player to be evicted from the Big Brother Mini House.

--------------------

The final HOH competition consisted of one round, and the winner would have the sole power to choose with whom they entered the Big Brother Recycled All-Star house. The competition was titled "Colorful Ending." 20 different colors needed to be identified. The player getting the most correct would become the Final HOH and would guarantee themselves a place in the All-Star House.

With a 9 correct, Brian was victorious, earning a spot in the All-Star house. He now had a big decision ahead of him...

Brian: As the final HoH it is my job to evict the last person in the bbmini house.

It has definitely been an interesting run in this house. Ashlea and Nick, you were both great allys throughout the game. I couldn't ask for better competitors. Unfortunately, only one of you can join me in the All Stars house. I choose to evict....Ashlea.

I'm sorry you can't join me in the All Star house, I played loyal the entire game and after you took Chelsia off the block I can't 100% trust that you would have my back in the new house. You are an amazing competitor and it was great to play this game with you.



After a hard-fought game, Ashlea was evicted, leaving Brian and Nick as the last 2 standing.
