Template:Big Brother housemates Big Brother 14 is the 14th season of the American reality television series Big Brother that premiered on July 12, 2012 on CBS.[1] The show is produced by Endemol USA and Fly on the Wall Entertainment. The show is shown in standard definition.
Production
Big Brother 14 is produced by Endemol USA and Fly on the Wall Entertainment with Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan returning as executive producers. This season was announced on the same day as the finale of Big Brother 13 in a press release issued from CBS.[2][3] Casting for Big Brother 14 began during the finale of Big Brother 13. This is the first season to use an online application process and to have a dedicated casting website like Big Brother UK.[4][5] Applicants are required to make a three-minute video then use a form to submit it to the producers with a current picture.[6] Applications and video submissions were due on May 11, 2012. Applicants chosen to be a finalist went go to Los Angeles, where they were narrowed down to a pool of 40 finalists.[7] Open casting calls were held by the producers where they visited New Orleans, Los Angeles, New York City, Charleston, Odessa, Dallas, Miami, Cincinnati, Boise, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, Louisville, Boston, Champaign and Phoenix.[7] On June 4, 2012, Robyn Kass, casting director for Big Brother, revealed on her Twitter that all semi-finalists were contacted.[8]
The first television advertisements hinting this season's twist first aired June 17, 2012 on CBS. This season is being slated to promote a "super sized" season, indicating the most HouseGuests entering to date and four huge surprises to be revealed on the premiere, being the four ex-HouseGuests competing as mentors.[9] By July 2, 2012, several media outlets such as CBS.com and Yahoo! TV[10] officially released house photos. The season's main House theme is the 80's and "Tokyo Pop". The overall layout of the house remained the same as to recent previous seasons, in addition to various refurbishments to the appliances and a new paint job in the backyard. Pandora's Box this season was replaced with a dual-HoH bedroom that is shared with the winning HoH's coach. The HouseGuests moved into the House on July 7, 2012.[11][12]
Format
The format remained largely unchanged from previous seasons with a few exceptions. HouseGuests were sequestered in the Big Brother House with no contact to or from the outside world. Each week, the HouseGuests took part in several compulsory challenges that determine who will win food, luxuries, and power in the House. The winner of the weekly Head of Household competition was immune from nominations and nominated two fellow HouseGuests for eviction. After a HouseGuest became Head of Household, he or she was ineligible to take part in the next Head of Household competition. The winner of the Power of Veto competition won the right to save one of the nominated HouseGuests from eviction. If the Veto winner exercised the power, the Head of Household then nominated another HouseGuest for eviction.
On eviction night, all HouseGuests except for the Head of Household and the two nominees voted to evict one of the two nominees.[13] This compulsory vote was conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room by the host Julie Chen. In the event of a tie, the Head of Household cast the deciding vote, announcing it in front of the other HouseGuests.[14] Unlike other versions of Big Brother, the HouseGuests may discuss the nomination and eviction process openly and freely.[13] The nominee with the greater number of votes will be evicted from the House on the live Thursday broadcast, exiting to an adjacent studio to be interviewed by Chen.[14] HouseGuests may voluntarily leave the House at any time and those who break the rules may be expelled from the house by Big Brother.[15][16] The final seven HouseGuests evicted during the season will vote for the winner on the season finale. These "Jury Members" will be sequestered in a separate house and will not be allowed to watch the show except for competitions and ceremonies that include all of the remaining HouseGuests. The jury members will not be shown any Diary Room interviews or any footage that may include strategy or details regarding nominations.[17]
In a change from past seasons, four former HouseGuests from past seasons of Big Brother returned to coach the new HouseGuests during their time in the House. Each coach had to pick three of the new HouseGuests that they will guide throughout the entire game. When a HouseGuests wins Head of Household the coach of that Housemate will also gain their own private room adjacent to the Head of Household bedroom. The coaches compete in a new competition that replaces Have vs. Have-Not competition for the season. The winning coach is granted the power to give one of their players immunity for the week. Each coach then has to chose one of their own players to become a "Have Not" for the week. HouseGuests that are chosen to be "Have Nots" for the week had to eat "Big Brother slop" and a weekly food restriction (chosen by the viewing public), take cold showers, and sleep on hard beds. The coaches are ineligible to win the $500,000 grand prize and the $50,000 runner-up prize but instead be awarded a separate $100,000 prize if one of their chosen HouseGuests wins Big Brother.

A total of sixteen HouseGuests will compete, the same number of HouseGuests competing in Big Brother 9. On July 4, 2012, four television advertisements were released throughout the day, revealing eleven names of the HouseGuests to be competing in this season of Big Brother.[18] The full cast of twelve HouseGuests were revealed on July 5,[19] with four returning HouseGuests being revealed during the season premiere on July 12. An original twelfth HouseGuest revealed on the adverts, Mike, was pulled off the final casting list for unknown reasons and was replaced by Joe.

Coaches
This is the fourth season, after seasons 7, 11 and 13, to feature former HouseGuests returning to the game. However, unlike previous seasons where the returning players competed as regular HouseGuests, the veterans were tasked with coaching three of the new players. The coaches are ineligible to win the $500,000 grand prize, instead competing to win a separate prize of $100,000, awarded to the coach of the winning HouseGuest.

Summary
On the first night, twelve new HouseGuests entered the Big Brother House to two new twists of the season. The first twist was that four successful ex-HouseGuests would re-enter the House not to compete against one another, but to coach the new HouseGuests. Their job is to guide the HouseGuests for as long as they can, hoping to keep coaching a possible winner. The winner's coach would win a special $100,000 prize at the end of the season. Soon after the announcement, Dan Gheesling from Big Brother 10, Britney Haynes from Big Brother 12, Mike "Boogie" Malin from Big Brother 2 and Big Brother: All Stars, and Janelle Pierzina from Big Brother 6 and Big Brother: All Stars entered the House. On the second twist of the night, HouseGuests were informed that their status in the game were at risk. Because Big Brother sent the HouseGuests "invitations" to enter the House instead of a key, the HouseGuests had to earn their status in the first Head of Household competition as there were only eleven keys to be earned. Therefore, for the first time in Big Brother history, one HouseGuest would be evicted by the end of the first night.
Before the HouseGuests competed in their first Head of Household competition, the coaches assigned their teammates. The coaches chose one by one and in order, Britney chose: Shane, Willie and JoJo, Mike chose: Frank, Ian and Jenn, Janelle chose: Wil, Ashley and Joe, and Dan chose: Kara, Danielle and Jodi. The HouseGuests competed in the first Head of Household competition in which the mentors did not compete. Each teammate had to retrieve life-sized teddy bears back and forth jumping on mattresses. After twenty minutes, teams were allowed to substitute one teammate. Team Britney won the Head of Household competition, but mattered as to who came in last. Team Janelle and Team Mike soon followed, leaving Team Dan in last place. Danielle, Jodi and Kara risked the first eviction, while Dan the coach had the sole power to evict one of his teammates. On the end of Day 1, Dan cast the sole vote to evict Jodi. Mike won the first coaches' competition of the season called "Big Brother Derby" and won the power to grant one of this teammates immunity for the week: He chose Ian. The four coaches each had to choose one of their teammates to be a Have-Not for the week, with Ashley, Ian, Shane, and Danielle getting picked. Frank and Kara were nominated for eviction on Day 5. On Day 7, Shane won the Power of Veto competition,Loose Change, which involved HouseGuest running around and trying to find coin props (one dollar coin, quarter and five cent coins). Once they find them they had to throw the coin props from a distance to a machine. Once they threw a total of $1.30 in coin props, they would win the Power of Veto. Shane decided to leave Willie's nominations the same. On Day 13, Kara was evicted in a 5 to 3 vote, leaving Danielle as Dan's only team member left. It was also revealed the winner of the next Coach's Competition would have the option of either saving one of his or her players or trading them with another player.
Frank won the Head of Household competition, Big Brother Break-In. The houseguests had to determine whether a burglar that entered the house was guilty or not guilty of a certain crime. HouseGuests were eliminated by answering incorrectly. Janelle won the "coaches competition" for the week, and chose to give Ashley immunity from the nominations. On Day 14, Willie was expelled from the house, after going on a rampage in which he threw pork rinds at Janelle, swore at the female houseguests, and headbutted Joe four times. Minutes later, JoJo and Shane were nominated for eviction. On Day 15, Shane won the Power of Veto competition.
