Big Brother 3

Big Brother 3 was the third season of the reality television series Big Brother. It aired for 82 days, and concluded when Chelsea Dunn was crowned the winner with all ten votes from the evicted houseguests, claiming the $500,000 prize and being the first ever unanimous winner.

Season 3 of Big Brother was similar to Big Brother 2. Each week, the Head of Household would nominate two players for eviction. On a live Eviction episode, the other houseguests would vote to evict one member. However, the Silver Power of Veto was introduced in Season 3. All houseguests competed to win the power. The Veto could be used to save one of the nominees from eviction, forcing the Head of Household to nominate another houseguest. The Head of Household could not nominate the Veto winner. If a nominee won the Silver Power of Veto, they could not save themselves, but could choose to save the other nominee from eviction.

Twists/Changes

 * Power of Veto: For the first time, each week one HouseGuest will be given the power to save a nominee from eviction with the Sliver Power of Veto, in that case the Head of Household would name a replacement nominee. The Silver Power of Veto did not allow a nominee to save themselves, but a Golden Power of Veto was introduced at the final 5 as the final veto in the season, which, unlike the former; allowed a nominee to save themselves from the block. However, this was not won by a nominee.


 * Previously Evicted Houseguest: After the fifth eviction, the first four evicted houseguests fought for a chance to return to the game through competitions and then by a house vote.

Voting History

 * Note: Spencer was evicted for Weeks 3, 4, 5, & part of Week 6, before winning his way back into the house.
