Hello and welcome to Big Brother. Tonight 20 people will enter the Big Brother house and will live together for this 100 day extravaganza. Now each week there will be a competition to decide who will become the Head of Household (HoH). The head of Household will nominate two people for eviction. But the nominees can save themselves, in the Power of Veto (PoV) competition between the 2 nominees, the head of household and 3 other people randomly drawn by the 3 doing the competition. Whoever wins this will be able to take someone off the chopping block (no longer up for elimination), in such circumstances the HoH will have to send a replacement nominee. At the end of the week, all contestants except the nominees and head of household vote to evict one the two nominees, the one with the most votes leaves the game. This will continue until there are 2 left. When some of those eliminated from the competition previously will form a jury, who will decide who of the final 2 wins.
We will be getting the first 10 contestants in very soon, but the thing that they don't know is that they aren't the only contestants. They do not know that there are 20 Housemates. Infact all of the Housemates think that they are one of 10. There will be plenty of action and drama, get ready, expect the unexpected and let get to know a bit about the first group of 10 Housemates!
___________________________________________________________________________
Hello, I'm Michael, I'm a 34 year-old driving instructor from Iowa. I love running, I'd say it is my true passion in life, i feel that running religiously for the last 10 years as I have, has not only been highly beneficial in terms of fitness but I also feel like it has made me very mentally strong as well. This will be what propels me to the final and to winning.
Hi I'm Lori, I'm 41 and I live in Seattle, it is a big city but rather crowded, so i wouldn't mind moving somewhere more rural but no matter what I decide to do with the money If I win, it’ll be for my son, Johnny. Johnny has a form of autism, it's hard to fully understand how it affects him yet as he's only 5, I'm really worried about him, but I know that I can win this thing, for my son!
Hello, I'm James, I'm 29, I work in a bar and i live in the town of Dublin in Georgia. I am very excited about the concept of this show and I will be a very active player in the game, i hopefully will get on the right side of things socially as well.
I'm Sasha, 36 and I work for a large clothes company. I live in and love the city of New York! Yeah I'm an NYC girl! I'm really excited about this, I'm tough, I'm Smart, I can take out the competition and ultimately win this thing!
Hey I'm Alicia, I'm Originally from New Castle in Pennsylvania. I'm actually studying to be a doctor, and I'm 24. I'm young, I'm fun, I'm fighting fit and I'm quite intelligent also, the last time I took an iq test I actually registered as 133. I have ability in all aspects of this game, it is my game for the winning.
Hi, my name is Victoria, I'm 26 and I'm from Raleigh, NC. I work in a clothes shop, I've kind of been a little bit stuck in my life lately, i really hope that $500000 can let me do things, see the world, maybe buy my own house, anyway I can progress in my life. I feel that I have the social ability to win this game.
I'm Richard, I'm 40 years old and I lead a large office group, and I live in Oklahoma. I reckon that I can go far in this game as to lead a large group like I do you need to get to know people and get them to want to be your friend. This is the same in this game. I do think that I have a great shot at $500000.
Hello, my name is Ian, I'm 42, I live in Boston and I work as an accountant. I would definitely describe myself as geeky but I'd say I know how people react In stressful positions like this. I also know where and how to position myself in times like this to make my game the best it can be so that I will win this game.
I'm Louisa, a personal trainer from LA, I'm also 31 years of age. I think a lot of people will want this money for a flashy car or for holidays and other stuff, while that's great, it's not a very smart way to do things. I'm actually starting up a personal training business and much of the $500000 will go to it. I will do whatever I need to do to win this game!
I'm Callum, I'm 24 and I live in Texas. I want to play a quiet game, play in the middle, be no ones enemy then become that extra vote that people need in the later stages of the game and to get myself to the finale.
___________________________________________________________________________
Welcome Michael, Lori, James, Sasha, Alicia, Victoria, Richard, Ian, Louisa, Callum, this season’s Housemates! I know how excited all of you are so, so i won't detain you any longer! Enter the Big Brother house!
___________________________________________________________________________
Sasha: it's Big Brother, people! Woo!
Victoria: Oh my God! This house is so amazing!
Richard: Where are the bedrooms?
Ian: Good point, where are they?
Lori: They're here!
Richard: Wow, they're fantastic!
Lori: Hi, my name’s Lori, what's your name?
Richard: Hi Lori, My name’s Richard but you can call me Richie.
Ian: I'm Ian.
Lori: Nice to meet you Ian and Richie!
I know it's a bit early to think about these things but I wondered if we could make a 3 person alliance.
Host: Wow, plenty of action already, we can see quiet people, very loud personalities, Strategic players and floaters. But now we must get the other 10 Housemates in the house, but first let's introduce you to them:
___________________________________________________________________________
Hi! I'm Jessie, I'm 19 years old, I'm a college student and i am from Tampa in Florida! I am young, i think many people will expect me to be very naive and up in the clouds. I'm not. I understand people, I can talk to and have fun with people of all ages, i can build very strong relationships with people very quickly. I'm also very practical, I will make the best moves for my game depending on the people and alliances in it.
I'm Ryan, I'm a Salesman, I'm from Detroit and I'm 27. It is my job to persuade people, persuade people to buy things. This is the same, I just need to persuade people to be on the same side as me.
Hello, I'm Muhammad, I'm 30 years old and i live in San Francisco. I'm a designer which keeps my creative skills very polished, I think that this could be very good for Big Brother as i might have to think of very inventive and elaborate strategies to make my way through this game.
Hi I'm Wendy, I’m 47 years old and I'm from Toledo. I think I’ll be good at this game as for the last 15 years I've worked in a café, part of my job is to create relationships with customers, which I'll definitely have to do in BB. I think that I'll try to be the mother of the group as I'll definitely be one of the older players.
I'm Alex, I'm 35, I'm a journalist from Illinois. I feel that I will be very good at big brother because as a journalist, a large part of what I do is analyse what people say and do and another aspect is to know everything and to know everything as soon as it happens. I can and will win this!
I’m Julian! I'm a 35 year old Psychologist from New York city. I am a gay guy, i just want to tell you all that right now. I'm a little bit camp, but I think that I’ll have to turn up the campness, because i want to be seen as the fun person that I am and not the strategic and intellectual threat I also am. Camp people are not seen as particular dangerous. My work experiences I think will help me in accurately assessing my opponents and knowing who I can work with and trust and who I can't.
I'm Amanda, I’m 44, a lawyer and I originally come from Toronto but now I live in California. I've never done anything like this in my life and I'm excited. I'm ready to look at my competitors, see who I can trust and in the end beat them all. I really do believe that I can win big Brother!
I'm Charlotte, I'm 29 and I'm a policewoman from New Jersey. I actually don't think I'll win this game. Yeah, a great way to come into the game, being defeatist before the game has even started is probably not a great idea, but I'm here to play and I'm here to play hard.
I'm Oliver, a Middle school History teacher from New Hampshire. I’m 39. I think I'll be underestimated through a lot of it because people will think I'm a Nerd but there's certainly more to me than you’d think.
Hello, my name is Zhalia, I live in Atlanta, GA. I work helping disadvantaged children and I am 22 years old. I am a fun person, I love a night out. I do plan to play a largely loyal game, but I want to make a couple of definitive moves that change the game and will be enough to get me to win if I reach the finale.
___________________________________________________________________________
Ok, welcome this season’s contestants, Jessie, Ryan, Muhammad, Wendy, Alex, Julian, Amanda, Charlotte, Oliver and Zhalia! Welcome Housemates! This is Big Brother! Now let's keep things quick, you can enter the Big Brother house!
Let's watch the reactions of the Housemates:
___________________________________________________________________________
Zhalia: Oh my God, this is amazing!
Wait, who are you?
Callum: I'm Callum, who are you? What the hell are you doing here?
Charlotte: We’re here for Big Brother.
Callum: Guys, there are more of us!
James: what?
Victoria: wait, there are 20 of us?
Host: Housemates, come to the living room! All Housemates must come to the living room right now!
As you’ve realised there are more than 10 of you. There are 20, over the next 14 weeks and 2 days, you will eliminate each other, but rather than once every 12 days as you were previously told, eliminations will be once every week.
There will also be double evictions after certain weeks where we eliminate one person and then we go through the whole weekly process in one night. This is one of several twists affecting this game, the others you’ll be notified about at a later point. Now good luck Housemates and get to know each other!
Sasha: i say that we introduce ourselves.
I'm Sasha, I work in Retail
Jessie: Hi Sasha, I'm Jessie, i actually am a college student.
Louisa: I'm Louisa and I'm a nutritionist
Ian: I'm Ian and I'm an accountant
Charlotte: Hi Everybody, I'm Charlotte! I am a hairdresser
Amanda: I'm Amanda and I'm a full time mother.
Julian: My name’s Julian and I'm a hairdresser also!
Richard: I'm Richard and work in a call centre.
Wendy: I'm Wendy and I work in a café.
Callum: I'm Callum and I just want to tell you all something now. I have a form of autism.
Zhalia: my name is Zhalia, I'm a youth support worker.

Lori: Hey everyone, I'm Lori, I'm really excited about this experience. I'm currently a carer for my son.
Zhalia: I'm sorry to hear about your son needing you to be a carer, my I ask what happened.
Lori: of course, my son has severe autism.
*Zhalia Hugs Lori*
Victoria: Oh, we have to show all of you around!
___________________________________________________________________________
Host: At the moment, everything seems pretty fun and kind, whilst the fun will not stop. The kind atmosphere of the house will end right here, as the first head of household competition will begin, as will the tactical and strategic side of the game.
But before this, there are few twists that I shall tell you about. The first you already know which is the number of Housemates. The second is fairly minor, in the situation of a tie in an eviction vote, whoever has received the most votes previously will be eliminated, in the case of a tie still, it will go down to how many times they have been nominated previously, if it is still a tie, then like it normally would, the HoH will decide who leaves the game.
The third is more important, on top of two nominees for eviction, the head of household has to choose another two players to be immune the following week, however they can also not be HoH, they can not participate in a PoV competition and they also can not vote on eviction night.
The fourth and final twist is that instead of the jury having 9 members, it will consist of 13 jurors.
Now lets inform the 20 Housemates about the first HoH competition!
___________________________________________________________________________
Housemates, please gather in the living room! It is time for your first HoH competition of the season. This first HoH competition will happen right here and will test your early friendships and possibly establish some new ones.
The rules of this Head of household competition are: You will have one minute to talk with fellow Housemates and after that I need you to vote one person out of the challenge, this cycle will continue until there aA re two of you left where you have the chance to concede, if neither of you do so, you will have to run into the garden, through the swimming pool over to the diary room and back where you started. You have to do this 5 times, whoever is fastest becomes HoH. If both of you concede, whoever comes third wins. You can concede at any point in the challenge, at any time during it.
The challenge starts now!
Julian to everyone (individually): get out Michael.
Michael to Julian: what? What the fuck?

Wendy to Louisa, Amanda, Alicia and Charlotte: you wanna become HoH? Then side with me and take out Sasha.
Amanda: should we?
Alicia: yes, Sasha moved against us.
Sasha: Wendy has sold us out. We should get her out.
Lori: no I trust Wendy, i think that there's more to this than meets the eye
Host: by a vote of 4-4-1, Alicia and Sasha, you have both been voted off.
Wendy to Victoria, Lori and Callum: I'm sorry but i had to do that, as if Sasha made it to the point where it was just us, she would have tried to get me to get rid of you and Callum and would either eliminate you and make Victoria Concede. Or she would eliminate Victoria and go against me in the physical challenge because I'm less of a physical threat.
Lori: that's alright, i understand, ok we need to get rid of Louisa.
Callum: yeah
Victoria to Amanda, Louisa and Charlotte: I wanna work with you guys, do you wanna work with me?
Charlotte: of course

Victoria: Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I meant to say Wendy but then I said Callum
Charlotte: it's alright, I think we should get Callum out anyway
Lori to Callum: Ok, they're going after you, if you concede I can get one of them out and possibly win this and I'll keep you safe until week 3 if I'm HoH. I'm gonna get rid of Charlotte.
Host: Ok, please vote.
Lori: Charlotte
Amanda: Callum
Charlotte: Callum
Callum: I concede
Victoria: Lori
Host: by a vote of 2*-1-1, Charlotte and Lori, you are out.
Amanda and Victoria, you are the final two. I will give you 30 seconds to decide whether you want to concede or not, if neither of you concede, we will go to a physical challenge.
Amanda: if I concede, do you promise that you won't nominate me at all this week.
Victoria: I promise I won't nominate you.
Amanda: you better stick to that because if I'm going to leave this week, you're going right after me.
Host: time is up, do either of you concede?
Amanda: I concede
Host: congratulations Amanda! You are the first HoH of the season. But now I must tell you something, on top of nominating two people for eviction, the HoH’s must select two more people, these two people can not be nominees in the week they are chosen. On top of that, they are immune the following week but, they are not allowed to be the HoH of that week, they are not allowed to participate in the week’s PoV competition, also they are not allowed to vote on that week.
They will be chosen at the same time as the eviction nominees. Good luck!
___________________________________________________________________________
Host: in the first day, lines have already been drawn, the first HoH has been crowned and an absolutely game-changing twist has been revealed. If every of the other 99 days are like this one, this will be one heck of a game to watch.
