Week 5
"Big Brother Auction"
![](https://www.indexexchange.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/header-bidding-auction-ss-1920_uusz3n.gif)
Big Brother: For this week's Head of Household competition, we'll be having an auction, with a few quirks of course.
When you are ready, the auction will begin in each houseguest's Diary Room. You have $50 to spend on different items that will be revealed to you one by one.
You do not know how many items will be in the auction. You can choose to spend $50 entirely on one item or spread between different items. (------deleted------)
You may only bid in $1 dollar increments - no cents.
The auction is different in that the winner of the item will go towards the houseguest who had the highest UNIQUE bid.
Examples of how that would work:
Let's say person A and person B both bet $50 on Item #1, and person C bet $49 on Item #1. Item #1 would go to person C because they had the highest UNIQUE bid.
i.e.If there are no unique bids, then the winner of the item will be selected by random draw from the tied highest bids. If there are no bids on an item, it will not be in play.If there is only one bid on an item, then it will go to that person. You are NOT allowed to discuss strategy with other houseguests regarding the auction.
Big Brother: Jane (Enyasurvivor ), as outgoing Head of Household, you will not be participating in the auction. If you have any questions, please let us know before starting the auction.
The deadline for doing the auction is 12pm PST / 3pm EST tomorrow, approximately 20.5 hours from now.
Good luck!

The Head of Household will be an item in the auction. It will be labelled clearly, you will know that you are bidding on the HoH.

Sucks to leave this early, but at the same time I really didnβt end up having enough time to focus on the game so maybe itβs for the better. But what is it about me that makes people constantly target me in each and every game no matter what strategy I use? Enyaβs nomination speech was clearly bs so Iβm curious to see the Green Room for whatever the actual reason was. Anyway, have fun everyone, I hope my POV idea gets used in a future game at least. Because your a twat. Letβs play together next time. Xo

"Six Degrees of Clay Aiken"
![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/a99ry70CnRs/maxresdefault.jpg) ![](https://9b16f79ca967fd0708d1-2713572fef44aa49ec323e813b06d2d9.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/1140x_a10-7_cTC/2019ClayAikenCLOGrease-1559761579.jpg)
Big Brother: Let's get to the Power of Veto competition - created by our very own Enyasurvivor ! We'll be playing Six Degrees of Clay Aiken. The goal is to connect artists through multiple artists and collaborations, in six or less songs.
An example prompt:
Someone may say:
This is a correct connection and will get the submitter 1 point.
It may benefit you if you know some album tracks and deep cuts, and save you time when typing out connections. In this following example is a different, shorter path from Katy to Daft Punk:
Both of these answers give the submitter 1 point. It does NOT matter if you use 3, 4, or 6 songs to connect the two artists in the prompt - having less connections will not give you more points, but it will save you some time. As long as you connect the artists with real, released songs, in six or less connections, you will get a point for that prompt.
Your answer must be formatted in such a way that you can tell the connections, like these examples above.
Notice how the answer has the full song titles, and respective artists' full names.
You will be given 10 prompts, but you only need to ANSWER FIVE OF YOUR CHOICE. You will get 10 minutes to solve 5 prompts of your choice.
Whoever correctly solves the most*** prompts in the fastest times will win the Power of Veto.
Do NOT discuss the competition with houseguests, even if they're not playing in the Veto. Do NOT use Google, Spotify or other aids during the competition, but you may choose to study before doing the competition.
Big Brother: Three houseguests were chosen by random draw for the Power of Veto.
An online randomizer was used. The houseguests playing are Betty (Spidey ), Cher (Devil Marlena Nylund ), and Denzel (bigfan101 ) along with the nominees David (Adrian C. π ) and Tom (House Lannister ), and the HoH (mcsteamy ).
Big Brother: If you have any questions, please let us know before starting the challenge and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
The deadline for completing the challenge is 12pm PST / 3pm EST tomorrow, just around 18 hours from now.
Good luck!

I misinterpreted the rules for some stupid reason and had 4 after like 8 minutes but kept trying to get a fifth one and ended up going over the time limit. Now Iβm annoyed and sad :(
