Memorable events

HouseGuests

Autumn

Autumn Nicole Daly is a 28-year-old mother and aspiring singer from Irving, Texas.[1] She was evicted from the house in week two by a vote of 7 to 0. Autumn is best known for attaching herself to Hardy during the first few days of the show and making several remarks about wanting to hook up with some of the guys. During the live feeds of Big Brother 7 All-stars Mike "Boogie" Malin and Dr. Will Kirby were asked many questions about season two and loved to talk about it. Will admitted that during the two weeks that Autumn was in the Big Brother 2 house they never really shared a conversation. However, Mike had a very different relationship with Autumn as fans know the two had exchanged heated words in the house, but on Big Brother 7 Mike admitted that Autumn had, in fact, tried to hook up with him.

When Autumn was evicted it was revealed that she had a boyfriend, something she did not talk about to the other houseguests. Her first aired edit from the Diary room was, "I was scoping out the guys and checking out the competition for the girls." Before Justin's expulsion from the game Mike and Autumn had a conversation about who she thought should be nominated and she said, "Justin, let me put it this way out of all the guys that are here he is the one that I would want to hook up with the least." Mike was confused and shocked at the reasoning for wanting Justin evicted and he responded by saying, "Does that really matter?" and she reciprocated by saying, "To me yeah."

Bunky

Bill "Bunky" Miller is a 36-year-old technical writer from Harrisburg, North Carolina.[2] He made it to the final five, but was evicted in week 8 in a week when Head of Household Hardy had to make a tie-breaker vote. Big Brother's first openly gay HouseGuest, he was also known for frequently crying.

Hardy

Hardy Ames-Hill is a 31-year-old account executive from York, Pennsylvania.[3] He was Head of Household more than anyone else (3 times), made it to the final four before being evicted in week 9 when Will cast the sole vote against him. He now lives in Miami, Florida and starred in the reality show Miami Social on Bravo.

Justin

Justin Sebik is a 26-year-old bartender from Bayonne, New Jersey.[4] He was expelled from the House on Day 10 because of the "The Knife Incident", where he threatened others and held a knife to the throat of Krista after a night of heavy drinking (however, this was not his first incident, as he had threatened other houseguests before). Most HouseGuests were asleep at the time and only learned of the incident the next day.

Krista

Krista Stegall is a 28-year-old divorced mother and waitress from Opelousas, Louisiana.[5] She was evicted in week 6 by a vote of 3-0. She was involved in a romance with Mike, who proposed to her during the show's finale. They would split up soon afterward, however. When Krista was evicted she had absolutely no idea that Justin, who was the first to be expelled from the game, had held a knife to her throat. (She was heavily intoxicated at the time and egged him on while he was doing it). She ended up suing CBS over the incident.

Mike

Mike "Boogie" Malin is a 30-year-old bar owner from Los Angeles, California.[6] He would later return in 2006 for Big Brother: All Stars, where he became the eventual champion.

Monica

Monica Bailey is a 40-year-old candy store manager and adult literacy teacher from Brooklyn, New York.[7] She placed 3rd overall in the competition, being voted out in the final eviction by Nicole. During the show, it was revealed that Monica's cousin was missing after the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. Monica was told of the incident but not in detail. During Big Brother 3's Where Are They Now segment Monica did reveal that her cousin who she considered a sister [Tamitha] was never found. She was a candidate for Big Brother: All Stars.

Nicole

Nicole Nilson Schaffrich is a 31-year-old personal chef from Atlanta, Georgia.[8] During the first week she annoyed the other HouseGuests for being bossy, and she was immediately put up for eviction. But after surviving that vote, she gradually became an influential and powerful player, partly through her alliance with Hardy. She made it to the finals, where she lost to Will by a vote of 5-2.

Shannon

Shannon Dragoo is a 29-year-old realtor from San Antonio, Texas.[9] She was a member of the Chilltown alliance, but was voted out in week 3 by a vote of 6-0. She is best known for her toilet scrubbing incident with Hardy's toothbrush. Shannon also professed to being a boat captain.

Sheryl

Sheryl Braxton is a 43-year-old divorced mother and interior decorator from Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.[10] She was the first HouseGuest evicted by a vote of 5-3 in week 1, however she was not the 1st to leave the Big Brother House due to Justin being expelled. She had been dared to try out for the show by her then 17-year-old son. After she was evicted she found out that she had cancer, this was revealed on finale night and came as a shock to all of her former housemates. Sheryl was featured during one of the first two eviction shows of Big Brother 3. She revealed that she was cancer-free. Mike, Will, and Shannon were all shocked when the vote came in 5-3. On the couch in the studio with Julie, Sherry was asked about what she meant when she told Nicole that whichever of the two stay in the house has to get Mike. Julie asked what does that mean, "get Mike." She said because of the position he put her in, (being nominated for eviction). Her former Big Brother 2 housemates Mike "Boogie" Malin and Will Kirby did talk about Sheryl's eviction one night in the kitchen with the other Big Brother: (US) All Star housemates. Sheryl was the first ever pawn in Big Brother history. Mike and Will both said that Sherry knew she was going to go up on the block beside Nicole. They even said that she was ok with it when they went to her with the idea. Will said, "What did her in was she went against us and said I hate chill town, I hate chill town, I hate chill town. And I'm not really sure why." Basically saying, that if she had not turned against them in those first two days she could have secured the votes to stay. Because they felt as though they had the votes to evict Nicole, (it could have come down to a tie).

Will also said; during the kitchen discussion, that Nicole was shocked that Sheryl did not vote for her during the finale, since she befriended her week one to go against Chilltown's Will, Shannon, and Mike. (Justin was a member of Chilltown but only for a few days since he was expelled from the game due to his antics). He said that he said to Nicole, "I didn't vote her out, like I was totally cool will her. You're the one who voted her out."

Will

William Terence Kirby is a 28-year-old physician from Miami, Florida.[11] Known as "Dr. Will" and a member of Chilltown alliance, his strategy was to combine charm with lies. Despite being nominated four times, his strategy worked and Will was crowned champion of Big Brother 2, defeating Nicole by a final vote of 5-2. The vote would have been 6 to 3 but Will and Nicole each got to veto a vote of one of the jury members (Justin was not asked back for the finale since he was expelled from the game week 1). Will was also known for his "showmance" with Shannon Dragoo. The two dated for some time after the show ended. During season two Will pioneered the strategy of being the least liked in order to get to the end. He told everyone that he was going to lie to them and during the first week he created the 24 hour fast which he designed to see if he could get people to do what he wanted them to do and to see how much will power his fellow house-mates had. During the second-to-last HOH competition he competed with Monica and Nicole. Hardy could not compete as he was the previous HOH winner. This was probably the most controversial HOH competition in Big Brother history. The night before the Big Brother houseguests all got in the hot tub. Nicole's husband had a banner fly over the Big Brother house to tell his wife how betrayed he felt. This made Nicole lose all focus and she went so far as to ask the producers if she could leave the show because she was concerned about her marriage. The producers said no, and Nicole made a public plea to Jeff (which was aired) telling him how much she loved him. Ultimately Nicole's lack of focus made her lose the endurance competition after several hours when her hand left the key. Nicole was angry with herself but counted on Will to win the competition. Will had other plans. When Hardy and Nicole left to go inside Will struck a deal with Monica, to ensure his safety for the week. When Hardy came out with an envelope trying to entice either Will or Monica to let go of their key, Will took the offer cementing his deal with Monica. The prize was—an over-sized novelty peanut butter jar. Nicole was enraged at Will's decision to take the offer and showed no qualms about letting him know it. Will kept telling her, "I didn't know what the prize was, I have no excuse. None that you want to hear." When nomination ceremony day came, Monica held to her end of the deal, leaving Will with the only vote. After much deliberation Will cast the vote and kicked Hardy out of the house. Will's fate was in doubt after that until Monica and Nicole got into a fight about race. Nicole won the final HOH and evicted Monica thinking she would be able to beat Will.

When Will left Big Brother 2 he left with a lifelong friendship with Chilltown running mate Mike Boogie Malin. Will is a business investor in Mike's Dolce Group and Mike invests in Will's businesses Dr. Tattoff and Kirby Cosmeceuticals. In 2006, he appeared on Big Brother: All Stars, where he finished in fourth place. During the all-star season Will quickly jumped back into the Villain role he had in season 2. With the help of Mike, Will was able to fracture the season 6 alliance. Starting at week 2 when Kaysar was HOH, they struck a deal to put up who Kaysar considered be floaters for safety in the event that Chilltown were to get HOH in the following weeks to come. Of course, they agreed with no real intent on keeping the deal. Will was able to befriend Janelle in the following weeks; they had what they both called a 'flirtmance'. In Week 4, when Janelle targeted Diane after James went against what would have helped him in the game and nominated Jase and back-doored him the week prior, James turned his back on the season 6 alliance. James went to Danielle (season 3's runner up) and she went to Chilltown and thus the 'Legion of Doom' was created. Will and Mike did help Danielle the week Janelle was HOH when Diane was evicted by throwing the veto competition to her so she could take herself off the nomination block. They stayed true to their Legion of Doom alliance until Mike won HOH. Mike nominated Janelle and James. Will, who was always skeptical of James, told Boogie to seize the opportunity to get rid of James. So they decided to throw the competition to Janelle. Janelle won the veto competition and James was eliminated. Danielle felt betrayed by the Chilltown boys. As much as they would have loved to keep her on their side they knew that keeping her would be a huge liability. As soon as they got the opportunity to eliminate her they took it. Ultimately, Mike and Will did not make it to the final two together because they could never decide on who they should trust more between Janelle and Erika. Mike always pushed that they should trust Erika more and Will always pushed for Janelle. Will tried to eliminate Erika by winning a POV. Had he won it would have been his first win in Big Brother history. But Erika beat him by just a few seconds. Will broke his thumb during the competition. Chicken George was eliminated from the game that week. This left Will, Mike, Janelle, and Erika in the house. After Janelle won the final Veto, Erika, in a last ditch effort to save herself, went to Janelle and they compared notes. The Chilltown boys could not make a decision about which girl to trust or, at least, separate them so they could not talk and then came back to bite them in the butt(s). Janelle took herself off the block and evicted Will.

Will along with other former Big Brother 1-4 houseguests Amy Crews, Alison Irwin, Michelle Maradie, Marcellas Reynolds, Roddy Mancuso, Lisa Donahue, Nathan Marlow, Jun Song, Hardy Ames-Hill, and Justin Giovinco all appeared on episode of Yes Dear where the character Jimmy got selected to be on Big Brother.

Highlights

A weekly summary table of tasks, evictions, major events, and other notable moments in the Big Brother house follows.

Week 1 Events
  • On Day 1, Twelve HouseGuests moved into the Big Brother house.
  • On Day 2, Mike became the first Head of Household.
  • On Day 6, Nicole and Sheryl were nominated for eviction.
  • On Day 10, Justin was expelled from the house after he held a knife to fellow HouseGuest Krista's throat while they were both intoxicated.
Competitions
  • HoH: "Wheel of First Impressions"; one person spins the wheel and tells which two HouseGuests best fit the descriptions it lands on (for example: "Smartest," "Sexiest," "Loudest"). The rest of the HouseGuests vote on which of these two they'd prefer to be the Head of Household. The votes go on until one HouseGuest remains. In the end, two HouseGuests remain. The other HouseGuests choose anonymously as to which of these two will be Head of Household.
  • Food: "All Stuffed Up"; the HouseGuests have to stuff themselves and a hefty supply of groceries into a 2002 Buick Rendezvous SUV and remain there for a full sixty seconds. If successful, they keep the food and eat well. If they fail, then it's "PB and J" all week long. While still stuffed into the 2002 Buick Rendezvous, the HouseGuests are surprised to learn that whoever is the last to exit the SUV gets to keep it. To make it even more difficult, they cannot sleep, smoke or take bathroom breaks.
  • Luxury: "The Dirty Dozen"; an inflatable pool in the backyard is filled with mud. 24 keys are mixed into the mess. 12 have a HouseGuest name on it. Starting with Mike, the HouseGuests have to find the 12 keys with their names on them. When a name key is found, that HouseGuest can help with the search. When all 12 keys are found, the HouseGuests have to get back to their starting point. If they accomplish their mission in under 6 minutes, the backyard hot tub will be unlocked for them. The house won the hot tub.
  • Luxury: "Bird's Eye View"; while the Head of Household is isolated inside the house, the other HouseGuests have five minutes to decide what gourmet food they want to eat, then spell it out using their bodies to form the letters. From an elevated chair, the HoH has to read what they have written in order for them to get the meal.
Entrance
  • Autumn, Bunky, Hardy, Justin, Kent, Krista, Mike, Monica, Nicole, Shannon, Sheryl, and Will entered the House on Day 1.

Week 2 Events

  • On Day 14, Krista became the new Head of Household.
  • On Day 14, Krista nominated Autumn and Kent for eviction.
Competitions
  • HoH: "To The Mat"; each of the HouseGuests stand blindfolded on mats in the backyard. Julie Chen asks questions about their housemates, instructing the HouseGuests to take a step forward to give one answer, stay in place for another.
  • Food: "A Pound of Flesh"; the HouseGuests split along gender lines, men vs. women. Everyone writes their own estimated body weight on a dry erase board. Brought outside, they are weighed on a scale. Their estimated and actual weights are added. Whichever side's estimated weight comes closest to their actual weight gets food for the week. The boys won over the girls by one point.
  • Luxury: "Ride The Bull"; the HouseGuests face off, male vs. female, in a mechanical bull riding competition. Three guys (Will, Hardy and Bunky) and three girls (Autumn, Shannon and Nicole) have to ride the bull for thirty seconds to move into round two.

  • Food: "Catch of The Day"; the HouseGuests request three food items, which are written onto yellow balls. One hundred balls, all with groceries written on them, including the 27, are thrown over the walls of the Big Brother compound. The HouseGuests will be given the items they catch. If a ball touches the ground, that item is eliminated. If a HouseGuest picks a ball up from the ground, that HouseGuest is disqualified and anything they caught goes with them. There are no supplemental groceries for the week, meaning meals can be made only from these items.
  • Luxury: "Cross-Dressing"; the House splits into two teams. (Team One: Monica, Will, Krista and Mike. Team Two: Bunky, Shannon, Nicole and Kent.) Each team has two members wearing blue and two members wearing red. The teammates stand on opposite sides of a clothesline. The object is for the reds to pass their clothes across the line to the blue team (and vice versa), then get dressed in the new clothes. The winning team will be the one that gets dressed first. Bunky, Shannon, Nicole, and Kent won a special laundry service.

Competitions
  • HoH: "Higher/Lower"; the HouseGuests are questions that come with a suggested answer and the HouseGuests have to decide if they think the real answer is higher or lower than the one given. If they think it's higher, they step up on the podium; if they think it's lower, they take a step down. The HouseGuests are eliminated with one wrong answer until only one remains. In the tie-breaker round, Kent beat out Mike and won the competition.
  • Food: "Food Pyramid"; each HouseGuest is assigned a food group and must answer 2 out of 3 questions correctly in order to have those items for the week.

If a player was incorrect, the they were eliminated. Hardy was the last remaining player and became HoH for the second time in a row.
  • Food: "The Perfect Meal"; each HouseGuest tells Big Brother his or her favorite meal, with all the trimmings. Then, each HouseGuest is assigned a day of the week that he or she will be responsible for. The object is for each HouseGuest to eat their favorite meal in under five minutes after it has been liquefied in a blender, then keep the food down for three minutes. If someone fails, the group eats PB & J that day.
  • Luxury: "Rescue 911"; each HouseGuest dresses a dummy in his or her likeness. With everyone out back, the dummies are hidden in various places in the House. The HouseGuests, split into teams of men vs. women, are blindfolded and have to enter the House, find a dummy and bring it back out to the safety of the basketball court.

Each HouseGuest has 60 seconds to climb into the cereal bowl and find two plastic letters, then name as many foods as they can that start with that letter.

  • Luxury: "All The News That Fits"; he HouseGuests break into three teams of two people and are asked a series of questions about what may have happened in the outside world while they were in the Big Brother House.
