Big Brother Advanced Game Rules

Choose a new team each week. Your Houseguests will earn or lose points based on the rules below.

It's like fantasy football, for Big Brother.

 

Choose a new team each week. 

Your players earn or lose points based on the rules below.

 

The perfect game type for Big Brother super fans who want to avoid the impact of spoilers. Every week, you’ll choose a team of Houseguests who will compete to be the next Head of Household, win POV, and stay off the nomination block. After each Live Eviction episode, you will have the option to choose a new team for the following week.

If You're Not First...
