Content: Reformatting of the first season. Introduction of the Head of Household (HOH) role. HOH nominates two houseguests for eviction. Contestants vote to evict the person with the most votes. Finale involves former houseguests returning to vote for the grand prize winner.
Drafting (Mental): Big Brother Season 2 features a complete reformatting of the format established in Big Brother 1. A central component of this new structure is the introduction of the Head of Household, or HOH. The HOH is responsible for nominating two houseguests for eviction from the competition. Following these nominations, the fellow contestants participate in a voting process. The houseguest who receives the highest number of votes is evicted from the house. This reality game show follows a group of houseguests who live together twenty-four hours a day. The season concludes on finale night with a specific voting procedure. All former houseguests return to cast votes to determine who they believe should win the grand prize. This season represents a shift in how the game is played compared to the previous iteration, specifically through the implementation of the HOH role and the subsequent nomination and eviction mechanics. (Word count check: ~155 words. Need to expand slightly to hit 160-220 range without adding external info).
