*PART 2*
Previously on Big Brother... The 14 New Houseguests were called to the Nomination Room, and received the news that a new twist would be in play that would be featuring Bradley and Macy. They were then told that they wouldn't find out what it is until the next morning. Everyone looked to each other for answers, but no one could figure out what was going on.
That night, Naomi sensed something in Elliot that she knew she could awaken with a little poking. His temper was unleashed and he was making himself into a big target early in the game.
The next morning the houseguests were filled in on the new twist that would rock the game to it's core. Are they Naughty or Nice? Winning or losing this special power each week could make or break their game. This twist would grant immunity to the winner for one full rotation, and the loser would lose their opportunity to compete in the HoH, all of their voting potential, which would include any alliances they may share with someone on the block, and all of their friendship points would not count.
Because Bradley and Macy were voted into the game by the fans, they were selected to kick off this monumental event by becoming leaders on opposite sides of the house for a Three Week House Split to shake up the start of this game. As the only two sims competing in this week's Naughty or Nice Twist, the winner would be able to completely save their side of the house from eviction for Week 1. And because they were put in this situation, they were both given immunity regardless of the outcome. The houseguests were given time to campaign to the Leader of their choice, to give them an opportunity to get to know the rest of the house so they could make a informed decision on who they wanted to work with in the game.
In the Draft, Duncan charmed the pants off of Macy, and was the first person selected in the split. With so many other sims rubbing her the wrong way, she was completely impressed by his kind and thoughtful way of speaking.
On the flip side, Elliot was not picked by either side, going to Bradley automatically after everyone else was picked. After fighting with countless people in the house, Elliot was looking like a loose cannon, and no one wanted to work with him.
Following the Draft, Bradley and Macy were instructed to select a gift from the gift pile, and the person who pulled the highest price tag for their item would win immunity for their side of the house for the entire Week 1 Rotation!
With an extremely close $275 to $250, Macy won immunity for Duncan/Helen/Everett/Felicity/Naomi/Noelle. That meant that Bradley's side was in danger of being evicted this week!
Following the House Split, The Revamped Skelly Bear's Treat Bowl made it's Triumphant return, and Gamer Girl Noelle was willing to risk it to better herself in the game. It payed off, and she won herself a new alliance with her best friend in the house currently, Duncan! With the Trick Still in play, will anyone dare to brave The Haunted Wing and potentially damage their game?!
We left off with The Vulnerable Six competing in a Dance Off to find out who will be the first HoH, in arguably the scariest First Week ever in Big Brother History. Either Elliot, Greyson, Meredith, Carson, Anaya or Gerald is about to become the First HoH of the Season, and with that, have to nominate two from their OWN side of the house for eviction! Who's going to save their self from this horrible situation and gain immunity on top of the power to nominate?! We're about to find out... 14 Sims Still Remain, Who will be evicted tonight?! Find out now on Big Brother!!
The battle for HoH wages on, and overall, the conversation goes surprisingly well early on. The Six start bonding even more, really pushing their Friendships into High Numbers!
After Hours and Hours of dancing well into the early morning, only Gerald, Anaya and Elliot are left standing! Irritated by their exhaustion, the conversation begins to turn sour and friendships start to drop. Considering that the HoH Competition will be forced to put up people they re competing with currently, this isn't good for any of them to be fighting with the future HoH, whoever it may be.
Being an older man, Gerald just can't keep up with these younger kids and bows out. This means either Anaya or Elliot will be the first HoH of the season! If Elliot wins, this could be devastating for the others in the house. He seems to be getting on everyone's nerves and his safety would definitely mean a big player would be going home! Anaya hasn't really made any waves in the game so far, so her winning could be detrimental to her game if her plan is to lay low. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and considering the current circumstances, it'll be better to be safe than sorry for any of them.
And there we have it! Anaya manages to outlast Elliot and becomes the first HoH of the season! Elliot fought hard for it and is proving to be a real competitor in this house! This could definitely put an even bigger target on his back. Anaya is surely relieved that she won't be going home this week, but now she has to betray one of her friends in the house by sending them out first. This twist is surely twisted.
Meanwhile in the house, the safe sims are having a blast getting to know each other, and Everett is really standing out as a social threat. Aside from Bradley, the house really seems to be falling for his charms, and he's coming off very likable... Even Naomi likes him!!
Bradley starts placing Prank Gifts in the Gift Pile! This could really screw people over in the next Naughty or Nice Present Draw! I didn't even think about sims booby trapping the gifts, but I'm going to allow it. This next Gift Pull is going to be very interesting! He's not the only one this week that's been booby trapping the gifts, multiple sims have made an effort to place prank gifts. This includes Noelle, Greyson, Meredith and Elliot. This could add another layer of strategy to the twist, and I'm here for it.
Carson has been doing an excellent job of floating to different groups in the house to try and secure allies. I don't think he's going anywhere, he's one of the few on Bradley's side that is actually doing well getting to know the other side of the house....
Heading into the next morning, everyone will have their chance to Campaign to the new HoH, Anaya, and let her know their thoughts on how the HoH should go this week. This will give her some time to strengthen some bonds with the other side of the house, as well as help her decide who is going on the block on her side.
Hold that thought.... Houston, we have a Woohoo, I repeat... We have a woohoo and we haven't even done an Action Roll yet! These sims are here to play! Greyson and Meredith gain a +15 Romance for woohooing for the first time. These two are really going above and beyond to make sure they have the points to stay in the house this week! Do you ship it?! Let's get into this HoH Campaigning!
HOH CAMPAIGNING
If you are unfamiliar with how HoH Campaigning will work, I'll just go ahead and explain it to you. Each week, every sim in the house will get an opportunity to sit down with the HoH and discuss plans on how they wish to move forward with their relationship in the game. These talks can go really well, really bad or no where at all. In some cases, a good or bad Campaign can be the deciding factor in whether a sim goes up or is safe for the week. Let's find out how these play out!
Anaya asks Helen what her thoughts are on the coming eviction, but before she gets a chance to answer, they are interrupted by Gerald. He really wants to talk to Anaya and Helen lets herself out. No Change Added for Helen.
Using his age as a crutch to come off as a wealth of knowledge for the other houseguests, he preys on the trust he's built with Anaya, letting her know exactly what to do. He tries to convince her to take a shot at MEREDITH?! It seems his earlier conversations with Meredith made him realize this girl is a threat, and she needs to go while they have a chance to do it early. Anaya trusts Gerald and listens to what he has to say. Anaya loses -10 Friendship with Meredith.
Bradley humbly apologizes to Anaya for the situation he put her in. He never wanted that kind of power this early in the game, and feels terrible that she has to be the one to target her own side of the house. Due to their early connection, she sympathizes with him and accepts his apology. It seems they are still on track with working together in this game. +10 Friendship between Anaya and Bradley.
Preoccupied with her conversation with Greyson, Carson and Meredith are both asked to leave and come back later. But they opportunity never comes up before nominations. No Change Added for Carson or Meredith.
Greyson wants Anaya to notice Elliot's actions so far, and the horrible things he's already said to people in the house this early on. He makes sure to mention that he even almost beat her in the HoH Competition and had he won, both of them probably would've been in danger. Greyson really pushes hard to convince her, and she agrees with him completely. Elliot is a loose cannon and could cause problem for their side of the house if he stays much longer. -10 Friendship between Anaya and Elliot.
Macy doesn't really feel a need to talk game with Anaya, but the two hit it off and start talking about their life outside of the house. This real connection helps to bond them a little more. +10 Friendship between Macy and Anaya.
Duncan doesn't really see a need to campaign this week considering he's safe, so he decides to work out instead. No Conflict Added.
Elliot approaches Anaya with a genuine apology for the way he's acted. He's been very upset over the way some of the people in the house have been treating him and he knows he has anger issues that make it hard for him to suppress negative emotions. Anaya thanks him for his honesty, and is a forgiving person. She never thought he would apologize and appreciates it. Great Talk. +20 Friendship for Anaya and Elliot.
Naomi continues to have little regard for the game. She's not in any danger this week, so why would she go campaign when she could just go take a nap instead? No Change Added.
Anaya didn't really like the way Felicity came about their conversation. She felt like Felicity had a plan in motion and was only thinking about herself. It didn't go very well, -10 Friendship between Felicity and Anaya.
There is just something about Everett that seems to be so likable for almost everyone in the house. I think it's how genuine his smile is. He's just cute as a button and Anaya falls for it completely, everything he says seems so believable and seems genuine. They have a great talk. +20 Friendship between Anaya and Everett.
Noelle and Anaya talk game over some Foosball so it doesn't look suspicious. She really feels like Noelle may just be misunderstood so far in the game, and I think she's willing to give her a chance. They are on opposite sides of the house, so it wouldn't hurt her to have some allies on the other side. +20 Friendship between Anaya and Noelle.
HOH CAMPAIGNING END
DAY 2 ACTIONS/CONFLICTS/ALLIANCES/WHIM
The house wants to leave Physical Threats in the game right now, and doesn't want to take a shot at them just yet. Active/Bro/Handy sims gain +10 Friendship with the house. Duncan & Bradley are the only two sims to fit this category.
Elliot can't seem to keep from blowing up on people in the house and fights with Greyson again. This fight pushes their friendship into the red. No surprises here, Greyson can't stand Elliot and wants him out of this game.
Naomi smells this fight from a mile away and decides she wants to jump in on Greyson too. This girl is ready to call the bullshit whenever she sees it. She doesn't care what anyone thinks about her, and she tells Greyson just how phony he is. No Alliance is rolled this day.
Helen gets a whim to tell an Insider Story to Felicity. Knowing Felicity is a celebrity, they bond over their brush with fame, and she tells her about all the people she's met so far in the business due to her famous Simstagram Account.
DAY 2 ACTIONS END
Oh no! Greyson took a shot at the Trick or Treat Bowl and gets the Trick Reaction! I guess he was worried he might go up as a replacement so he was willing to risk it. Because the Trick or Treat is anonymous, he had no idea that the Treat was already received this week. He gets hit with the HoH Competition Ban. If he survives this eviction, he will be unable to compete in the HoH Competition next week, along with the outgoing HoH.
Now that both the Trick and Treat have been received, the Treat Bowl is removed until next week. It's replaced with a pumpkin so no one can use it anymore.
DAY 2 NOMINATION CEREMONY
It's time for one of the most tricky nomination ceremonies of all time. Because Anaya won HoH, she must now name two other sims to sit on the nomination block and potentially face eviction. They will be given an opportunity to save their self by winning the Power of Veto tomorrow, or having someone else pull them off the block with the Power of Veto. This Nomination Ceremony will be a little trickier though, because over half the house is immune due to The 3 Week House Week Split Twist. Because of this, Anaya is forced to put up people on her own side of the house, and has really been struggling to figure out what her best option is moving forward. Who do you think is going up on the block?!
It seems she listened to Greyson and Gerald, and puts Elliot and Meredith on the block. Elliot has caused a lot of problems in the house, even though he apologized to her, this was the safest choice for her to put up Week 1. Because she has full respect for Gerald so far in this game, she also listened to his advice and puts up Meredith as the other nominee this week. Meredith is a smart girl, and she may be hard to get out later on, so if by some chance Elliot does pull himself off the block, they will be able to get a strong target out this week. Anaya loses -10 Friendship with both Elliot and Meredith for nominating them.
Elliot tries to control his anger and just plays completely quiet on the block. No Change Added.
Meredith decides it's best for her to use Smart Strategy and increase her bonds in the house to ensure her safety this week. She gains +5 Friendship with everyone in the house.
NOMINATIONS END
Elliot stomps out of the Nomination Ceremony, it was very hard for him to keep himself from snapping on someone and he heads straight to the bathrooms to vent his frustrations.
Gerald is something else, after the Nomination Ceremony, he meets with Meredith in the Hot Tub and tries to cheer her up. Little does she know, the snake was stabbing her in the back all week and she has no idea. Gerald wants to ensure that if she stays this week, the backlash doesn't fall back on him. I never expected Gerald to be playing such a snakelike game.
Helen typically stays up a bit later than everyone else, and this time decides to work on her logic skill while everyone is asleep.
Everett tries to work his charms on Macy but it doesn't work at all. She sees right through his bs and wants nothing to do with it. Everett is pretty taken aback by the blow up, and Duncan just tries to pretend nothing is happening, he doesn't want to get involved.
I'd have to say right now, it's looking like Everett and Greyson have made the most progress socially in the game. Yes they have ruffled some feathers, but they go out of their way to talk to everyone, even the people that don't really seem to like them. I think Greyson is in no danger this week, and obviously Everett is safe anyway.
He officially snapped folks! I guess the venting didn't work! Elliot takes out all of his frustrations on Felicity following his nomination and the two get in a massive fight, plummeting their relationship into the red. I don't know why he decided to take out his anger on poor Felicity, but he can kiss that relationship goodbye. Elliot, you're on the block, what are you doing?!
Greyson really goes out of his way to schmooze with Anaya. He doesn't want to go up as a replacement in the off chance that someone does manage to pull their self off. This guy is really playing.
DAY 3 ACTIONS/CONFLICTS/ALLIANCES/WHIM
As the Chef of the house, Greyson really wins peoples hearts through his food. He gains +20 Friendship with everyone in the house for having the highest cooking skill! Great roll for him.
Non-Committal Sims get called out for playing both sides of the house and lose -20 Friendship with everyone. Everett and Bradley are the only one that get hit with this.
Double Showmance! Two Showmances enter a power alliance of four to protect each other in the game. They all gain +30 Friendship with each other. Because Greyson & Meredith have already woohooed, they were an obvious choice. But the only other sims in the house that I've noticed actually flirting with each other was Bradley and Felicity, so I added them as well. (So much for Felicity's True Love that she has at home. That didn't take long, lol.) Meredith/Greyson gain +20 Romance & Bradley/Felicity gain +20 Romance.
Greyson gets a whim to woohoo with Meredith. It looks like it's time for Round 2, these two sim to really like each other.
DAY 3 ACTIONS END
Helen doesn't seem to be getting along with the younger girls in the house. I think it's her smug uppity personality that strikes a nerve with them.
It's time for the Veto Competition! The HoH and Two Nominees will automatically be competing, as well as 3 other houseguests picked by random draw. (This season, it will be done a little differently. If by any chance, I roll a sim that's already on the block, or the HoH, I will be selecting their closest ally to join them in the competition, to make it more like the real show. This is a great new rule that HollieBB just recently thought of. I don't think it's been added into the actual Rules yet though. If you haven't seen her series, go check it out in her Collections tab, it's absolutely incredible and a great series to binge watch if you are a fan of my series, or Big Brother in General! Throw her a follow on twitch and join us live, she plays Big Brother a lot!) Three Random Sims were chosen, so no one got to pick. The Sims joining the HoH/2 Nominees are Macy, Greyson and Felicity.
Meredith gets hit with karma as she tries to bad mouth Elliot and throw him off his game with an insult. This is followed by Meredith immediately falling on her face in the most embarrassing way. I couldn't top laughing when this happened. That's what you get! So far Macy is the only other one to step off, Greyson, Felicity, Elliot and Anaya are still going strong!
After a while, it comes down to Felicity and Elliot battling it out for the Veto! Is Elliot going to devastate the house and pull himself off the block?! This would be a complete game changer in this messed up Week 1 Rotation! What's about to happen?!
HE DOES IT! ELLIOT SAVES HIMSELF FROM EVICTION! He was sure to be the one going home and now Anaya has to put up either Gerald, Greyson or Carson as a replacement nominee! This couldn't go worse for her. (Lol at Macy scaring Greyson in the background.)
DAY 3 POWER OF VETO CEREMONY
By no ones surprise it's very obvious that Elliot was going to pull himself off the block. He looks to everyone with a smug smirk on his face, just to give them all a big F-U, thinking they could get him out of the house Week 1. Now he's going no where, and Anaya is forced to put up someone that she actually really likes next to Meredith, who's been playing very well so far in the game. This is awful!
She apologizes, but she has no choice. Anaya puts up Carson as the replacement. She's been working closely with Gerald the entire game, and Greyson has worked hard at his relationship with her to make sure he wouldn't go up this week. Anaya really likes Carson too, but it's just how the cards had to fall this week. Now, either Carson or Meredith is going to go home! This is MAJOR! Anaya loses -10 Friendship with Carson.
Carson can't believe this, but he keeps his composure and makes an effort to campaign. He tells Anaya that it's okay, and is very understanding. He also campaigns to Felicity and gains +15 Friendship with both girls.
Meredith can't believe Elliot came off the block. She was so confident sitting next to him, but now that she's sitting next to Carson, she's a little worried. She has no words, No Conflict Added.
VETO CEREMONY END
Carson really tries to pull at Felicity's heart strings and secure points with her. He saw an opportunity to bond and wants to pursue it further. He is feeling a bit screwed over in this situation and is doing everything he can in this short amount of time to fix things.
Everett continually tries to fix things with Bradley, but he wants nothing to do with him. I don't know if it's PTSD or what, but Bradley is triggered every time Everett talks to him, and the conversations do not go well.
For the first time this season, Everett lets down his sweet innocent wall, and shows his angry side. He is so mad that he can't manipulate Bradley into liking him, it seems to get under his skin pretty bad.
Helen and Macy continue to bicker, and just can't seem to get along. I think Macy is regretting picking her for her side of the house.
The next morning, Carson continues to butter up Felicity, telling her how much he enjoyed her past film works and grew up watching her. He tells her how big of a fan he is, and really respects her. He's doing the most to get this girls vote this week.
Meredith has a pretty quiet morning, contemplating her final speech going into the eviction. She does have the backing of her alliance, so she's not that worried, but there is definitely a big chance she could lose to Carson. He's not going to be nearly as easy to beat as Elliot would've been.
DAY 4 ACTIONS/CONFLICTS/ALLIANCES/WHIM
These sims are better at keeping secrets. Insider/Self Assured/Ambitious Sims get +20 Friendship with the house. Major role, with five sims getting a massive boost to their friendships! Amazing for all of them, especially Meredith. Helen/Meredith/Duncan/Naomi/Noelle all benefit from this roll!
No Conflict This Day, But a new Strategy Alliance is formed! This alliance is based off of the highest skill in Charisma/Fitness/Logic in the house, banding together to form a power alliance. Macy is Charisma, Duncan is Fitness and Gerald is Logic. Macy and Duncan were already very close, but roping in someone from the other side of the house, especially a genius like Gerald could definitely benefit them in furthering their games. This is a major Alliance. They all gain +30 Friendship with each other!
Elliot got a whim to Insult Felicity. Not really sure why he hates her so much, probably because she grew up rich and famous when he's struggled his entire life. Who's surprised his whim was to insult someone? Lol
DAY 4 ACTIONS END
DAY 4 THE FINAL VOTE & EVICTION
It's time for the first eviction of the season. Today, either Carson or Meredith will be the first person evicted from the Big Brother House. Both of them have been working hard socially to get the points to stay this week, but it should be a very close one! Sadly, both of them are victims of circumstance. With the entire house expecting an easy week of sending Elliot out the door, he put a wrench in their plans by saving himself with the Veto. With more than half the house immune from eviction this week, these two were the only other options that Anaya was willing to take. I hate to see either of them go, but that's just how the game works. Let's hop right into this point breakdown.
For Carson, he gets 11 Friendship Points. He has no romances in the house, so 0 Points there. For Alliances, he sadly hasn't had an opportunity to get any side alliances yet. so only his House Split Alliance Counts. 2 Points there. And for his Charisma, Carson has a 5. This gives him a total of 18 Points.
For Meredith, she pulls in an outstanding 14 Friendship Points. For Romances, she has one with Greyson, giving her another 1 Point. She's in her House Split Alliance, and in a Double Showmance Alliance, giving her another 4 Points. For Charisma, Meredith has a 3.... which puts her at a total of 22 Points.
Sad day... Because of the insane twist, a strong player is the first one to go out. If Elliot hadn't won the PoV, he was definitely going home. But, in this game, you never know whats going to happen. Meredith played harder in the early days of the game, even though Carson made a lot of strong connections as well. That Day 4 Action Roll really pushed Meredith over the edge, it was so close! I'm really shocked to see Carson out first, I never in a million years thought he'd be the first one out. But, he will have a chance to return in the Battle Back Competition! He is being sent immediately to the sequester room where he will wait until the next three houseguests are evicted.
Hope you enjoyed this first VERY LONG episode of Big Brother Season 9 that I had to split into two parts. I'm very shook by the outcome. Let me know your thoughts on Twitter as always, I love hearing from you. If you don't have twitter, feel free to leave a comment below and let me know what you think! Be expecting Part 3 Soon! Thanks for reading!
