Template:Big Brother housemates Big Brother: Over the Top is the first season of the American reality television series Big Brother that will air online exclusively. The season premiered on September 28, 2016, and only on CBS All Access, an over-the-top subscription streaming service. This will be the first season to air in the fall and will be separate from the established series televised on CBS during the traditional summertime period. This season was officially confirmed by CBS on August 3, 2016, while Big Brother 18 was still in progress.
The format of the program will be modified from the established series; a group of contestants referred to as HouseGuests, are enclosed in the compound known as the Big Brother House under constant surveillance of cameras and microphones. Each week a HouseGuest will be evicted until the final two or three HouseGuests remain on finale night. For the first time since Big Brother 1, the viewers will vote for one HouseGuest to win the program. Julie Chen will continue to host the season premiere, hold weekly eviction interviews and be a part of the season finale. The program will include thirteen participants that will be competing to win the $250,000 grand prize.
Development
The season was officially announced on August 3, 2016 by CBS while the eighteenth season was still in progress. The series will continue to air on the CBS television network during the summer while the fall edition will air exclusively on the over-the-top streaming service CBS All Access which has been the broadcaster of the live Internet feeds since the seventeenth season. The season will utilize the same production team from past seasons with exceutive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment in association with Endemol Shine North America. Julie Chen, who has been the host of the series since its inception, will also be part of this season.[1] However, Robyn Kass, who has cast the program since the second season, will not cast this season. The shortest season since Big Brother 10, the season will last nine weeks.[2] This will be the first edition of the overall Big Brother franchise to air live exclusively online around the world and the second season overall to air only online after the first Chinese season, which was pre-recorded and aired at a later date in 2015.[3]
Broadcasts
There will be no television coverage for this season; instead, it will be completely streamed online at CBS All Access. There will be weekday replays that will be scheduled to transmit on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 10:00pm ET/7:00pm PT that will summarize the events of the previous day in the House. On Wednesdays starting at 10:00pm ET/7:00pm PT, there will be a weekly recap episode followed by the live eviction hosted by Julie with the Head of Household competition shortly after the eviction. On Thursdays, Julie will have a live Q&A with the HouseGuests and interview the recently evicted HouseGuest. Special episodes will air on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:30pm ET/7:30pm PT after the weekday replay where viewers can watch live diary room sessions. Have Nots for the week will be shown on Saturdays at 4:00pm ET/1:00pm PT with the weekly safety ceremonies shown on Saturdays and Sundays at 10:00pm ET/7:00pm PT with the weekly nominations revealed live on Sundays.
While the live Internet feeds will not have any scheduled blackouts, slanderous statements and singing of copyrighted music will be blocked for legal reasons.[4] For the first time in the history of the program the HouseGuests entered the House one by one live on the Internet feeds after host Julie Chen introduced the audience to the program and short introductory videos were shown.
Format
The format of this season will vary from previous seasons that have aired on CBS. The contestants referred to as "HouseGuests" are sequestered in the Big Brother House with no contact to or from the outside world. Each week, the HouseGuests take part in several compulsory challenges that determine who will win food, luxuries and power in the house. At the start of each week, the HouseGuests compete in the Head of Household (HoH) competition. The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and will select two HouseGuests to be nominated for eviction.
Each week, six HouseGuests are selected to compete in the Power of Veto (PoV) competition: the reigning HoH, the nominees are guaranteed to play with the remaining slots being given to HouseGuests selected by random draw. The winner of the PoV competition wins the right to either revoke the nomination of one of the nominated HouseGuests or leave them as is; if the veto winner uses this power, the HoH must immediately nominate another HouseGuest for eviction. The PoV winner is also immune from being named as the replacement nominee.
On eviction night, all HouseGuests must vote to evict one of the nominees, with the exception of the nominees and the Head of Household. This compulsory vote is conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room. In the event of a tie, the HoH must break the tie publicly. The nominee with the most eviction votes will be evicted from the house on Wednesday.
Changes in format
Safety Ceremony
The Nomination Ceremony from the broadcast edition is replaced with the new Safety Ceremony. This ceremony takes place over two days with two separate ceremonies. During the ceremony, the HoH will be sequestered in the HoH room while the other HouseGuest will be downstairs with their "Block Pass". When instructed by Big Brother, the HoH will activate the "Block Pass" of a HouseGuest of their choosing. This will make the pass illuminate green and show that the HouseGuest is safe from nominations.
The first ceremony takes place on Saturday night with the HoH being instructed to save a predetermined number of HouseGuests. The second ceremony takes place on Sunday night with the HoH being instructed to save all but two of the remaining non-safe HouseGuest. The HouseGuests who do not have their "Block Pass" activated at the end of the second ceremony are the HoH's two nominees.
America's Vote
This edition will feature greater participation from the viewing public than the broadcast edition. Each week, the American public will be given several opportunities to affect the game:
- America's Nominee: Each week, the viewers will vote on a third nominee who will be nominated with the HoH's nomination. No HouseGuest can be nominated by America in back to back weeks and, should America's Nominee be vetoed, there will be no replacement nominee, with only the HoH's two nominees facing eviction.
- America's Eviction Vote: Each week, the viewers will vote between the nominated HouseGuests for who should be evicted. This vote will count as one eviction vote and be tallied with the HouseGuest's eviction votes. As with all eviction votes, the result of America's Eviction Vote will not be revealed to the HouseGuests.
- America's Care Package: Each week, the viewers will vote to give one HouseGuest per week a special power or "care package". This twist was first seen on Big Brother 18.
- America's Have-Nots: Each week, the viewers will vote for three HouseGuests to be the Have-Nots of the week.
- America's Winner: For the first time since Big Brother 1, the viewers will vote for the winner among the 3 finalists, meaning that there will be no jury of evicted HouseGuests.[5]
HouseGuests
12 of the 13 HouseGuests were announced on September 26, 2016, including a pair of sisters, Alex and Morgan Willett.[6] The final HouseGuest was chosen by a public vote between two HouseGuests from the broadcast version: Jason Roy from Big Brother 17 and Jozea Flores from Big Brother 18.[7] During the season premiere, it was revealed that Jason won the vote.

Twelve new HouseGuests entered the Big Brother house: Scott, Morgan, Shane, Neeley, Shelby, Cornbread, Kryssie, Whitney, Justin, Alex, Monte and Danielle. Jason, from Big Brother 17 was voted into the House by America as the thirteenth HouseGuest over Jozea from Big Brother 18. During introductions, Shelby withheld that she was a law school graduate while Alex and Morgan were shocked seeing each other in the House. Julie Chen revealed that America would impact the game unlike ever before and explained there would be no jury of evicted HouseGuests to determine the winner instead the viewing public will vote for the winner. Jason began to notice the facial similarities between Alex and Morgan. Discussions of a possible early alliance between Monte, Shane, Scott and Cornbread occurred in the London bedroom during the first night. During their second day in the House, everyone took part in the first Head of Household competition of the season.
The following day, Julie announced to the HouseGuests instead of nomination ceremonies, there will be safety ceremonies. When instructed, the HoH has to save a variant amount of HouseGuests to be safe. The two HouseGuests who are not safe will be the nominees of the week. Monte's first instinct was to go after Jason. After the Safety Ceremony, it was revealed that Jason and Danielle were the first nominees on Day 4. Later on in the night, Big Brother called the HouseGuests to the living room. There Julie informed the HouseGuests the viewers will choose a third nominee to sit beside Danielle and Jason. Cornbread was announced as the third nominee chosen by America on Day 5 then Whitney and Alex were chosen to play in the Power of Veto competition while Shane was chosen to host the competition.
Jason used the Veto to save himself on Day 7 and Monte chose to name Kryssie as the replacement nominee. Big Brother called the HouseGuests to the living room again where Julie explained the third interactive element of the season. She informed the HouseGuests that this season America will not only be nominating but evicting a HouseGuest from the house. The nominee that gets the most votes from America will get an extra eviction vote added onto them. As all votes are private, it will not be revealed who America voted to evict. On Day 8, Cornbread was the first person to be evicted from the House by a vote of 9-1-0 with Alex being the only vote against Danielle. | ||||
2 | "Week 2" | October 12, 2016 | Days 8-15 | |
Shortly after the eviction the HouseGuests were instructed to go to the backyard for the next Head of Household competition. Monte, as outgoing Head of Household, was not eligible to compete.
Two days later, the HouseGuests were informed of America's Care Package, where a HouseGuest would receive a special predetermined power from America. It was then revealed that Kryssie won the Save-A-Friend power, which would allow her to keep one other houseguest of her choice safe for the week. She chose to save Jason. On Days 11 and 12, two safety ceremonies took place, with Alex ultimately nominating Danielle and Shane, the showmance. Before the Power of Veto competition on Day 13, it was made known that America's Nominee was Monte. Jeff Schroeder then arrived at the house as the Veto Host, where Alex, Monte, Shane, Danielle, Scott and Shelby competed for the Power of Veto.
The next day, Shane decided to use the Power of Veto on himself, and Alex chose Kryssie as the replacement nominee. On Day 15, Monte was evicted from the Big Brother house by a vote of 5-4-0, with America casting the deciding vote to evict. | ||||
3 | "Week 3" | October 19, 2016 | Days 15-22 | |
After the eviction, the HouseGuests headed to the backyard for the next Head of Household competition, where Alex, as outgoing HoH, would not compete.
The next day, America's Care Package was delivered, with Scott winning the power of choosing the type of Veto to be played for this week. He had the choice of the Diamond Power of Veto, which would allow the holder to veto a nominee and also choose the replacement nominee, the Boomerang Power of Veto, which allows the holder to veto both of the nominees on the block, and the Double Power of Veto, which puts two vetos up for grabs, meaning that there would be two Power of Veto holders. During the two Safety Ceremonies, Scott nominated Neeley and Kryssie for eviction with Shane as a backdoor target, and the next day, Danielle was nominated by America for eviction. Later that day, the Power of Veto competition took place, where Scott chose to put the Double Power of Veto up for grabs.
On Day 21, Justin chose to use the Power of Veto on Kryssie, and Alex chose not to use her Power of Veto. As Head of Household, Scott chose Shane, his main target, as the replacement nominee. Subsequently on Day 22, at the Live Eviction, the vote was split 4-4-0, including America, who voted for Danielle. As such, Scott as Head of Household, had to cast the tiebreaker vote and chose to evict Shane from the Big Brother house, making Shane the 3rd to be evicted. | ||||
4 | "Week 4" | October 26, 2016 | Days 22-29 | |
After Shane was evicted, the HGs were surprised by Paul Abrahamian from Big Brother 18, who was there to host the next Head of Household competition, in which the HouseGuests went to the backyard to compete in.
On Day 23, America's Care Package landed in the backyard, and it was announced that Alex had won the Safety Servant care package, which gave her safety for the week, but she had to wear a maid outfit and had to serve the Head of Household when instructed by Big Brother. As Alex was one of the targets of Kryssie, this threw a wrench in Kryssie's plan, causing her to target Scott instead. After which, in the following two days, Kryssie nominated Scott and Morgan for eviction, with Scott as her intended target. However, The next day, Kryssie's plans were put in jeopardy once again as it was revealed that America's Nominee was Neeley, a close ally of Kryssie. After the announcement, the HouseGuests entered the backyard one by one for the next Power of Veto competition, where Kryssie, Scott, Morgan, Neeley, Justin and Shelby participated.
Subsequently, on Day 27, Morgan used the Power of Veto on herself, and Kryssie as Head of Household, chose Whitney as the 3rd person sitting on the couch come eviction day, along with Scott and Neeley. The next day at the live eviction, the votes landed 4-3-0, with America casting the deciding vote for the second time, this time against Neeley, making Neeley the 4th person evicted from the Big Brother house. | ||||
5 | "Week 5" | November 2, 2016 | Days 29-36 | |
After Neeley's eviction, the HouseGuests proceeded to the memory wall to start the preparation for the next HoH competition, which Kryssie, as outgoing Head of Household, did not compete in.
The next day, America's Care Package landed, and it was revealed that Shelby had won the power to eliminate three eviction votes that week. This shocked the Late Night Jamboree of Jason, Justin, Kryssie and Danielle, who hated her. This caused Danielle to want to put her up, in order to ensure she is not one of the three remaining votes that week, On Day 30 and 31, Danielle saved Jason, Justin, Kryssie, Scott, Morgan and Alex, leaving Shelby and Whitney on the block. Due to the possibility of Whitney flipping, Alex and Scott contemplated evicting her if it came down to it, as they had noticed her close relations with Justin. The next day, it was revealed that Scott was America's Nominee. After which, Danielle, Scott, Shelby, Whitney, Jason and Justin competed in the next Power of Veto competition.

America's Care Package
Each week, voters will choose which of the HouseGuests will receive a special power. As on Big Brother 18, all Care Packages were revealed to the public upon the commencement of the first vote. 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 ineligible to receive another one until all other remaining HouseGuests have received one.
