Violation

A  is an unlawful action made by a Housemate/Houseguest that is considered as an improper conduct in the Big Brother Rule Book.

Each housemate can only be given three strikes of violations which means they can only receive not more than three violation report strikes within their whole stay inside the Big Brother House.

The violation report is a weekly basis which means all violations committed by a housemate within a certain week will be gathered together and will be counted as one strike. When the housemate had his/her first strike, they will only face a lighter punishment. However if the housemate committed a violation again in the following weeks, harder punishments will be given. If the housemate receives his/her violation strike report for the second time, they will usually face an Automatic Nomination and if they received a strike report for the third time, they will automatically be receiving a Forced Eviction.

Violation Announcements
Announcing the Violation Reports to the Housemates may vary from season to season or even different countries. Usually, Big Brother will inform the housemates in the Living Room regarding those who had a violation for the week. The violators will be shown in the Television with their committed violations. They will be receiving the punishment afterwards.

In Pinoy Big Brother, a loud heartbeat sound will be heard in the entire house, just for only two reasons. Either signifying an upcoming nominations, or signifying that someone committed a violation. They must immediately gather around the Living Room for the announcement. The announcement process may vary from each week, depending on Big Brother himself. After announcing the violations, Big Brother will then talk to the violators one by one or sometimes in a group inside the Diary Room and a video clip of what they did that is deemed unlawful in the Big Brother Rule Book will be shown to them. Afterwards their punishment will be given to them.

Usually, if the punishment is a "Forced Eviction/Ejection" the violation will be announced during the Live Eviction Nights and once they were given the punishment, they only have 10 minutes to leave the Big Brother House.

Pinoy Big Brother
In Pinoy Big Brother, the Big Brother Rule Book is strictly enforced at all times. The housemates who committed a violation will immediately be punished according to the intensity of the violation committed.
