Massive Brother’s AI overhaul unleashes its biggest change ever and completely revolutionizes the way the game has been played for years — giving players more power than ever to control their own games!
One of the many components of Massive Brother What has always been more of a crapshoot is that there are legitimate occasions when guests’ fates are completely out of their control.
You will be put back on the Block, you will find that you are a nominee for any number of causes. And there is usually nothing that can be done to keep good players from losing their own games.

With BBAI released this season, Julie Chen (robot) AI counterpart Ainsley had the entire house confused before the contestants had even started, explaining how every little thing would change this season. And then they thought the powers and punishments gained during the two-night premiere had changed the game.
Indeed, they were too, with Ainsley finally explaining just what they were and how they could presumably change the game. Makensy scored Night 1 “Improve”, along with her bonus power being America’s Veto, meaning she’ll be able to veto any nominee in the first 4 weeks and let America choose the replacement.
Quinn was the winner of Night 2, landing the Deep Faux HOH energy, which is much more dastardly and devious. Not only can he take energy from the HOH, he does it in secret and through deepfake, so that the HGs assume the HOH remains in power. This implies that not only does he control the nominations, but he can also sow discord and chaos in the house through the Deep Faux.
As discovered during the premiere, it was worse news for Chelsie and Cedric, who received a Downgrade in their video games. This meant they were ineligible to compete in this week’s HOH contestants or Power of Veto, but they were still available as potential nominees and eliminated.

It was before the season’s main Head of Household contestants that Ainsley dropped the most important bombshell yet. Each HOH will nominate not two, but three Houseguests for eviction. Then, just minutes before the eviction vote, those three HGs will compete in a shootout, with the winner becoming mechanically safe.
This has far-reaching consequences for the House than it might seem at first glance. Particularly early in the season, the House is usually on the same page about what to do and who to evict each week. However, this season, it’s not so easy. What if that particular person secures safety?
Now, they’re going to have to come back with a plan B. And then they may not be able to exclude nominees from those discussions, either, because the one who leaves the Bloc will have the ability to vote, which could have an effect on the numbers if the issues are not unanimous.
Then there’s the fact that the House has always had a chance to kick some big beasts of contestants out of the house after any Energy of Veto contestant. Now that threat has another chance to avoid wasting their bacon through one last contestant. Depending on how long this twist lasts in the season, these individuals could prove nearly impossible to eliminate.

With alliances only just beginning to be hinted at — but no one need be accused of playing too hard, too fast — Massive Brother put everyone’s relationships to the test right away with the first Head of Household Competitor.
First, they would pick their own groups of three. However, since the range of HGs isn’t evenly split, this left Makensy and Tucker out of any team, which is probably a huge statement about where they are in the House. They can just sit on the sidelines and watch.
- Team 1: Brooklyn, Kimo, Rubina
- Team 2: Kenney, Matt, Quinn
- Team 3: Cam, Leah, Lisa
- Team 4: Angela, Joseph, T’Kor
So, though, the competing HGs played against each other from their chosen teams… for just one round! To make matters worse, the winner of that first round had to eradicate another team, making three potential enemies. Team 2 got the first win and eliminated Team 1.
Then, the issues were changed and each Staff had to instantly compete against each other in this sport of sliding a disc to land on a number. The winner within each Staff would then move on to the final round. Here, the winners were Kenney, Leah and Angela.
In the final round, Ainsley once again switched the rules—is this indicative of how chaotic the season will be?—by making only odd numbers count. This eliminated Leah, who would have otherwise won. In the end, Angela won and became the season’s top HOH.

It’s a little too early for anything really strong, but the girls have already floated a tentative all-female alliance, though they also acknowledge that it never seems to work. Angela’s title was floated as part of this in a dialogue involving Chelsie, Makensy, Brooklyn, and Rubina — who seemed to really be pushing for it.
Angela also revealed herself during an alliance conversation with Chelsie, T’Kor, Joseph, and Cedric. However, it was another conversation that may have solidified the first Last 2 of the season. In an effort to ingratiate herself with the BB Ball’s primary Belle, Quinn revealed her Enhancement Energy to Angela.
It certainly pays to be the main head of the family, although it is also a treacherous ground to walk on. Everyone knows your title, and the meaning of it is on their lips all the time. And Angela, who is a very outspoken and cheerful character, may have mentioned it a lot.
She wasn’t trying to start something with Matt when she referred to him as “eye candy” and joked that he would probably find himself in a showmance, but that’s how he actually took it. He then shared it with everyone, prompting Joseph to honor his new alliance with Angela by telling her.
When she tried to set the record straight, Matt had a really striking response. Despite the fact that she was in power and had never selected his nominees, he was arrogant and threatening. He instructed her that he was ready for her to put him up, certain that he would have the votes to stay and then he would go after her.
Wow, man! Accusing her of having too much fun, too fast and then responding to a mea culpa with all that pep? Someone is having too much fun, but it certainly wasn’t Angela in that exchange. She was trying to do some injury management and Matt was drawing a line in the sand.

With little to nothing to go on in the sport thus far, Angela did not lean on the more apparent selections of additional choice in the 2 who were not chosen for the HOH Contestants. She did, however, look at those contestants to see who could be her target.
Kenney proved to be a troublesome contestant and seemingly intimidating enough that she wanted him out of the house. She then spoke to the House to get the heartbeat of the beginning of her other two nominees, landing on Kimo and Lisa as individuals no one really knew, or who were making people nervous.
Apparently, Lisa’s penchant for edible glitter in her cooking, and for sprinkling it on her fellow HGs, makes her a threat in their eyes. They’ve actually begun to consider that she’s anointing alliances or expressing some secret meaning behind her sharing of the glitter. Isn’t it a little early for this stage of paranoia?
Anyway, that’s what it is… which brings up another question about this new three-nominee twist. Not only do all three have an opportunity to avoid wasting themselves on the Power of Veto, as usual, but once again before the final firing on Thursday.
Placing a threat of competition — as Kenney is perceived — on that latter group will increase the risk of him saving himself and coming back with a vengeance. Could this mean that other threat allies of competition could be considered superior pawns to try and ensure that the precise objective goes out the door?
We don’t yet know all the ways in which this major twist will shake up the season, but we’re really expecting (“the surprising”) more in the coming weeks.
