Houseguests, it's time to compete for the Golden Power of Veto!
Welcome to the All-Star auction, where you will have the opportunity to bid on various items from past seasons of Big Brother: Warzone.
This is a silent auction. Each of you has been given 100 Big Brother bucks.
Each item in the auction has either a positive or negative point value. If you win an item, you will also earn or lose the specified point value. Items that may hinder your game will earn you points, while helpful prizes will subtract points from your score.
To win an item, you must give the highest unique bid (above $0) on that item. If there are no unique bids on an item, no one will get that item. So, for example, let's say that Jessica, Chelsia, David, and Natalie all bid on the same item:
Jessica bids $98
Chelsia bids $100
David bids $5
Natalie bids $100
Jessica would win the item with the highest unique bid of $98.
Send me a PM with the items you are bidding on and the amount you are bidding on those items. If you choose not to bid on anything, send me a PM saying that you are not going to bid on anything. Each person is only allowed to send 1 PM. All bids must be whole numbers (i.e. you could not place a bid of $99.99). If you decide not to bid on anything, PM me letting me know that you have chosen not to bid on anything.
All your bids added together cannot exceed $100. If you bid more than $100, you will be disqualified.
At the end of the auction, the Houseguest with the highest number of points will win the Golden Power of Veto. In the event of a tie, the Houseguest who spent less Big Brother bucks to earn that point value will win.
The deadline for this competition is tomorrow night (Wednesday, February 24th) at 9 PM EST. However, I will reveal results early if everyone submits their bids before the deadline. When I post results, I will reveal whether or not someone has won each item, but I will not reveal your point values or tell you who has won each item. Each Houseguest will receive a PM notifying them of which items they have won.
The items are below:
DOUBLE VOTE POWER (-3 points)
Appeared In: Season 2
Previously Won By: Will Wikle
Let's make it a double! This item gives you the power to cast a double vote at the upcoming eviction. Your vote will count twice, but if you are HOH or one of the nominees, you may pass this gift to someone you think will vote your way.
DAISY'S LOVE POTION (-5 points)
Appeared In: Season 2
Previously Won By: Sarah Hrejsa
If you are on the block, this item could be just what you need to stay in the game. Just sprinkle this potion on a Houseguest of your choice, and he or she will fall madly in love with you—so much so that he or she will not be able to cast a vote against you. Sometime before the eviction, you will PM me stating who you would like to use the potion on. If that Houseguest voted against you, their vote will count in the opposite direction. Daisy’s Love Potion may be used at any of the next 3 evictions (including the upcoming eviction), but it is only good for one use. It cannot be passed to another Houseguest.
BIG BROTHER HANDCUFFS (-7 points)
Appeared In: Season 1
Previously Won By: Rachel Plencner
With this item, you will be allowed to handcuff 2 Houseguests of your choice to each other for next round. These 2 Houseguests will not be allowed to nominate each other or vote to evict each other. If one of them wins the Veto, they must save each other, unless the Veto winner themself is a nominee. You may choose yourself as one of the 2 Houseguests. If you win this item, you will not have the option of not handcuffing anyone together.
SILVER POWER OF VETO (-9 points)
Appeared In: Season 3
Previously Won By: Jeff Schroeder
This Veto power cannot be used on the person who owns it, but it may be used to remove another nominee from the chopping block. The power is only good for the following round, when 11 houseguests remain. The Silver Power of Veto ceremony will take place after the Golden Power of Veto ceremony has adjourned.
COLD ENOUGH FOR YOU? (-11 points)
Appeared In: Season 3
Previously Won By: Jeff Schroeder
With this item, you will cryogenically freeze yourself next round (final 11) and come back to life the following round. You will be immune for the entire round, but you will not participate in the HOH or Veto competitions and you will not cast a vote. You may still chat with your fellow Houseguests and you will still be required to post a confessional for the week.
POTTY MOUTH (+3 points)
Appeared In: Season 2
Previously Won By: Jun Song
New York is in the !*#@ house! With this item, you will be required to use at least 1 cuss word in every sentence you say, whether it be in IM with Houseguests, on the board, or in the Diary Room. If you fail to cuss 4 times or more, you will receive a penalty nomination next round (unless you win HOH) and will not be allowed to come off with the Veto. The penalty nomination will still be in effect if you are cryogenically frozen. I will let everyone know who has this item when I post results.
GIVE UP VOTE (+5 points)
Appeared In: Season 3
Previously Won By: James Zinkand
With this item, you will not be allowed to vote the next time you are eligible to vote. This does not apply to HOH tiebreaker votes.
NO VETO FOR YOU (+7 points)
Appeared In: All Seasons
Previously Won By: James Rhine, Daniele Donato, James Zinkand
Is this Veto more important than the next? With this item, you will forfeit your right to play for the Veto the following week in order to win 7 points.
PENALTY VOTE (+9 points)
Appeared In: Season 1, Season 3
Previously Won By: Jessica Hughbanks
With this item, you will receive 1 penalty vote the next time you are nominated. This goes into effect next round, when there are 11 Houseguests remaining. However, if you are nominated and come off with the Veto, your penalty vote will disappear. The last time this item will be in effect is when there are 5 Houseguests remaining.
MARKED FOR NOMINATION (+11 points)
Appeared In: Season 1
Previously Won By: Scott Long
You will be marked for nomination for the next round. If you finish in the bottom 6 of the next HoH competition, you will be placed on the block, and there will be 3 nominees for the week. You will not be allowed to save yourself with the Power of Veto, and no one is allowed to save you. To lift this penalty, you must be one of the top 5 finishers in the next HOH competition. If you win both this item and COLD ENOUGH FOR YOU?, the COLD ENOUGH FOR YOU? item will become void.
Good luck, Houseguests.
