Clique

A Clique was a group of House Guests, modeled after a social group in high school, formed as part of a twist in ''Big Brother 11. ''Each clique started out with three members, with an opportunity to gain a fourth based on how the first competition went. For the first three weeks, whatever clique the Head of Household belonged to was immune from eviction. The four cliques were the Athletes, the Brains, the Off-Beats, and the Populars.

About the cliques
The Athletes originally consisted of Natalie Martinez, Russell Kairouz and Jeff Schroeder. Because they won the first competition, they gained a fourth member, Jessie Godderz from Big Brother 10. Their color was blue.

The Brains consisted of Ronnie Talbott, Chima Simone and Michele Noonan. If they had won the first competition, their fourth member would have been Brian Hart, the first evictee of Big Brother 10. Their color was green.

The Off-Beats included Casey Turner, Lydia Taveras and Kevin Campbell. Their fourth member would have been Michael "Cowboy" Ellis, the runner-up of Big Brother 5. Their color was yellow.

The Populars included Braden Bacha, Laura Crosby and Jordan Lloyd. Their fourth member would have been Jessica Hughbanks from Big Brother 8. Their color was red.
