Big Brother 7

Big Brother 7, also known as Big Brother: All-Stars, is the seventh season of the reality television series Big Brother. This season is currently taking progress, with all 14 houseguests still remaining. Updates happening shortly.

Twists/Changes

 * Returning Players: For the first time in U.S. history, former houseguests returned to play the game.
 * America Chooses The Houseguests: The twenty all-star candidates were announced to the public audience and they were allowed to vote for who they wanted to return. It was initially announced that six houseguests (three men and three women) would be voted in, but due to a high number of submissions, an extra man and an extra woman would be added. This meant that eight houseguests were selected by America and six houseguests were selected by the producers.
 * Power of Veto Players Randomized: As a likely response to the backdooring strategy implemented in the previous two seasons, the Head of Household and the nominees no longer chose the players themselves; rather, the three Veto Competition players were randomly drawn out of a bag with chips with houseguests' names on them. Though one chip did contain "Houseguest's Choice" written on it. When drawn, the person drawing may choose a houseguest of their choice.
