Template:Recurring Competition Dark
Before or After (sometimes known as Before and After) is a recurring Head of Household competition.
Rules
The houseguests are asked a series of questions about events that occur in the house. Standing in the middle of a platform or steps, they must decide whether one event occurred before or after another event. If they think it is before, they step one way; if they think it is after, they step another way. If they are right, they get a point.
This continues for a series of questions and the houseguest with the most points wins HoH.
