Battle of the Block

The  competition is a competition introduced in Big Brother 16. The twist was reintroduced as a "fan-favorite" during the premiere of Big Brother 17. This baffled the Big Brother Community, as the twist is generally looked down upon. The two pairs of nominees must compete against each other in a themed-competition. The winning pair would be safe from eviction from the week and would also dethrone the Head of Household that nominated them, leaving the other HOH as the sole Head of Household. It replaced the Have/Have-Not Competition in the early part of the game.
