The '''Head of Household''' (abbreviated ''HOH'') is the position of supreme power and control in the [[Big Brother House]]. The Head of Household is selected each week during the live show. The winner of Head of Household is free from the threat of eviction. They receive perks, such as getting their own private bedroom but are also faced with the decision of nominating two houseguests for eviction and putting up a replacement nominee when the [[Power of Veto]] is used.

}}The '''Head of Household''' (abbreviated ''HOH'') is the position of supreme power and control in the [[Big Brother House]]. The Head of Household is determined by a competition each week during the live show. The winner of Head of Household is free from the threat of eviction. They receive perks, such as getting their own private bedroom, but they are also faced with the decision of nominating two houseguests for eviction and putting up a replacement nominee when the [[Power of Veto]] is used. The previous Head of Household is not eligible to play in the subsequent Head of Household competition, and thus, can not be Head of Household twice in a row (unless the houseguests are down to the final three).

==Head of Household Competition==
Each week, all houseguests, except the outgoing Head of Household, compete in the HOH Competition. The final 3 is the only time that an outgoing Head of Household can win consecutive HOH competitions (or if a twist happens and nobody is evicted as in ''[[Big Brother 14]]'' with the coaches reset. [[Frank Eudy]] and [[Joe Arvin]] were spared and [[Shane Meaney]], as outgoing Head of Household, was still eligible to compete). HOH competitions mainly fall into one of three major categories listed below though some competitions include elements of more than one category.

[[File:Hoh quiz.jpg|thumb|250px|''[[Big Brother 14]]'' HouseGuests compete in a quiz HOH competition.]]
Quiz competitions are fairly short and are usually shown during the live show. Questions range from events in the house to comments from previously evicted houseguests. The houseguests line up, each getting their own booth, unable to see each other. The host communicates to the houseguests through the microphone system in the backyard and can see the houseguests through a television screen outside of the house in the studio. She communicates the question to the houseguests, who then answer when she says "Answers, please." Typically, houseguests answer by turning a dial to either "True" or "False", "Yes" or "No", or "Red" or "Blue", although some competitions have used paddles, cubes with houseguests pictures on them and some other ways to show the answers. There several ways how the quiz can be played but usually it's one of the following two. The first one is elimination-based when one incorrect answer results in elimination and the last person standing become the Head of Household. The second way is point-based meaning that each correct answer gives a houseguest one point and the person with the most points wins. The elimination-based approach can usually be used when the number of participants is relatively big, otherwise, the point-based approach is applied. Regardless of the way quiz works, if, after all, possible questions have been exhausted and there is a tie, the competition continues into a tiebreaker round. An answer is always a number, ranging from the number of seconds that the houseguests have been in the house to the weight in pounds of an object used in a competition. The houseguests write the number on a chalkboard provided for them. The houseguest closest to the number without going over becomes the Head of Household. If all competitors go over, the houseguest closest to the number becomes the Head of Household.

There are several ways to how quiz competitions can be played, but usually, they are either elimination-based or point-based. Elimination-based quiz competitions involve one incorrect answer resulting in elimination, with the last person standing becoming the Head of Household. Point-based quiz competitions involve each correct answer giving a houseguest one point, with the person having the most points at the end of questioning becoming the Head of Household. The elimination-based approach is typically used when the number of houseguests is still relatively large, otherwise, the point-based approach is applied. Regardless of the type of quiz, if, after all the possible questions have been exhausted and there is a tie, the competition continues into a tiebreaker round. The tiebreaker answer will always be a number, such as the number of seconds that the houseguests have lived in the house or the weight in pounds of an object used in a competition. The houseguests answer by writing a number on a chalkboard provided for them. The houseguest closest to the number without going over becomes the Head of Household. If all competitors go over, the houseguest closest to the number becomes the Head of Household. If all houseguests write down the same number, the question is nullified and another tiebreaker is asked.

Skill competitions, sometimes referred to as crap shoots, usually involve bowling type games or shuffleboard type games in which houseguests compete while trying to get their marker closest to a certain point without going past it (although sometimes these competitions may differ from that format). The games are usually completed live, but at times, these are not complete by the end of the live show, and viewers can watch the outcome on the live feeds or on the following episode.

[[File:Big-Brother-12-surf-hoh-competition.jpg|thumb|''[[Big Brother 12]]'' houseguests in an endurance competition.]]
Endurance competitions extend well past the time constraints of the one-hour live program. They can be viewed by the live feeds on CBS.com. Houseguests generally line up in either a small platform, revolving cylinder, or in a cage. The last person standing becomes the Head of Household. Some competitions require houseguests to keep hold of a button. If they let go, a light goes out and they are eliminated, while others do not. Harsh weather conditions, such as rain sprinklers, falling leaves, or foamy "snow" are frequently included to make the competitions as grueling as possible. Other times, prizes are awarded to the first out of the competition to tempt the houseguests.

[[File:Adickzach.jpg|thumb|Two ''[[Big Brother 8]]'' HouseGuests in the Final HOH Competition]]
The Final HOH competition occurs when there are only three remaining houseguests in the house. It is broken into three parts; each to be played on a different day. The first competition is always an endurance competition and usually requires the houseguests to hold onto their key to the house through some sort of grueling weather condition. The winner of round one automatically advances to round three, while the two remaining houseguests compete in the skill competition. The final round is a quiz competition (usually "Jury Statements" is played), and since ''[[Big Brother 11]]'', has been played on finale night. The winner selects who to take to the final two, with the other houseguest being immediately evicted and seated with the jury outside in the studio. Being the most important HOH competition of the game, all houseguests are eligible to compete, even the outgoing Head of Household.

The format for the final HOH competition in ''[[Big Brother 2]]'' was different to later seasons. The first two rounds were point based and the two highest point-getters would compete in the final round.

The format for the final HOH competition in [[Big Brother 2 (US)|Big Brother 2]] was different from later seasons. The first two rounds were point based and the two houseguests with the most points would compete in the final round.
During ''[[Big Brother: Over The Top]],'' the Final HOH took place during the Final Four rather than the Final Three, as voting for the winner was between the Final Three instead of the Final Two, similar to ''[[Big Brother 1]]''. The same rules applied, so the outgoing HOH was eligible to compete again, but this time there was only one sole competition, not split into any parts, which was a skill competition. The winner would automatically advance to the Final Three, and they would then choose someone else to join them, leaving the two "nominated" houseguests to participate in a [[Hit The Road|Do or Die Competition]] for the final spot in the Final Three.

The Head of Household receives their own private bedroom, equipped with a private bathroom, bathtub, a luxurious suite, and from ''[[Big Brother 5]]'' onwards, a "Spy Screen" allowing the Head of Household to watch the other houseguests in the comfort of their own room. The television does not have sound. The Head of Household also receives a gift basket with their favorite foods, a CD, and a letter from home. The Head of Household does not need to compete in the [[Have/Have Not Competition]] because they are guaranteed food for the week. They also get to compete for the [[Power of Veto]].

The Head of Household receives his or her own private bedroom, equipped with a private bathroom and bathtub, a luxurious suite, and from [[Big Brother 5]] onwards, a "Spy Screen" allowing the Head of Household to watch (but not hear) the other houseguests from the suite. The Head of Household also receives a gift basket with his or her favorite foods, a CD, and a letter from home. The Head of Household does not need to compete in the [[Have/Have Not Competition]] because they are guaranteed food for the week, but he or she is guaranteed to compete in the [[Power of Veto]] competition.
   
 
==Responsibilities of Head of Household==
 
==Responsibilities of Head of Household==
The Head of Household hosted the [[Food Competition]], and then the [[Have/Have-Not Competition]] which replaced the Food Competition in ''[[Big Brother 11]]'' and ended in ''[[Big Brother 15]]'', explaining the rules to the other houseguests. They also call house meetings and announce when competitions are being played to the other houseguests. Most importantly, the Head of Household selects two houseguests to nominate for eviction. [[File:Prep.jpg|thumb|The Head of Household prepares the Nomination Box.]] The procedure of nominations includes the Head of Household retrieving the house keys from the [[Memory Wall]] and placing them into the Nomination Box in the Head of Household room. The Head of Household places the keys of all safe houseguests into the box, while the two remaining keys are wrapped in a bag and left in the Head of Household room. The two houseguests without a key are nominated for eviction. However, starting with ''[[Big Brother 16]]'', the nomination procedure is the opposite. Instead, the keys are turned and the faces of the people that are nominated are shown on the Memory Wall.

*The first ever Head of Household winner in ''Big Brother'' History was [[Mike "Boogie" Malin|Mike Malin]].

* The first ever Head of Household winner in ''Big Brother'' history was [[Mike Malin]].
*[[Demetres Giannistsos|Demetres Giannitsos]] as of 5/11/17 has won 5 Head of Household competitions, a new Big Brother record.
+
* [[Demetres Giannistsos]] of [[Big Brother Canada 5]] set the record for the most HOH reigns in a season with 5. [[Dane Rupert]] tied this record on [[Big Brother Canada 7]].
** [[Frankie Grande]] of ''[[Big Brother 16]]'' also won 5 Head of Household competitions, however, due to the [[Battle of the Block]] twist, Frankie is only credited with 3 HOH wins. He was also taken out of his HOH seat a third time due to the Rewind Week twist which ended up sending him to the jury, but he's credited with the HOH win that week as all of his duties as HOH were complete. So after winning 5 HOH competitions Frankie only watched 2 of his nominees walk out of the door, compared to the four nominees Demetres watched leave (as of 5/11/17 his fifth has not left).
+
** [[Frankie Grande]] of Big Brother 16 is considered to co-hold the record for the most HOH wins at 5 wins. However, because of the [[Battle of the Block]] twist, where one Head of Household may be dethroned if his or her nominees won the BOTB competition, Frankie was dethroned twice in Weeks 1 and 4. Officially, Frankie has 3 total Head of Household reigns. It was stated on Buddy.tv that dethroned Head of Household reigns do not count at all.
**There are ten HouseGuests who tie for the second-most Head of Household wins in one season with 4 wins each. Out of the ten, six of them went on to win their respective seasons. The ten are:

Revision as of 17:01, 5 May 2020

The Head of Household (abbreviated HOH) is the position of supreme power and control in the Big Brother House. The Head of Household is determined by a competition each week during the live show. The winner of Head of Household is free from the threat of eviction. They receive perks, such as getting their own private bedroom, but they are also faced with the decision of nominating two houseguests for eviction and putting up a replacement nominee when the Power of Veto is used. The previous Head of Household is not eligible to play in the subsequent Head of Household competition, and thus, can not be Head of Household twice in a row (unless the houseguests are down to the final three).

Head of Household Competition

Each week, all houseguests, except the outgoing Head of Household, compete in the HOH Competition (the final three is the only time that an outgoing Head of Household can win consecutive HOH competitions [Or if a twist happens and nobody is evicted, as in Big Brother 14 with the coaches reset the game. The nominees, Frank Eudy and Joe Arvin, were spared, and Shane Meaney, the outgoing Head of Household, was still eligible to compete].). HOH competitions mainly fall into one of three major categories - listed below - though some competitions include elements of more than one category.

Quiz Competition

Hoh quiz

Big Brother 14 HouseGuests compete in a quiz HOH competition.

Quiz competitions are fairly short and are usually shown during the live show. Questions range from events in the house to comments from previously evicted houseguests. The houseguests line up, each getting their own booth, and are unable to see each other. The host communicates to the houseguests through the microphone system in the backyard and can see the houseguests through a television screen outside of the house in the studio. She communicates the question to the houseguests, who then answer when she says "Answers, please." Typically, houseguests answer by turning a dial to either "True" or "False", "Yes" or "No", or "Red" or "Blue", although some competitions have used paddles, cubes with houseguests' pictures on them, or some other way to show the answers. There are several ways to how quiz competitions can be played, but usually, they are either elimination-based or point-based. Elimination-based quiz competitions involve one incorrect answer resulting in elimination, with the last person standing becoming the Head of Household. Point-based quiz competitions involve each correct answer giving a houseguest one point, with the person having the most points at the end of questioning becoming the Head of Household. The elimination-based approach is typically used when the number of houseguests is still relatively large, otherwise, the point-based approach is applied. Regardless of the type of quiz, if, after all the possible questions have been exhausted and there is a tie, the competition continues into a tiebreaker round. The tiebreaker answer will always be a number, such as the number of seconds that the houseguests have lived in the house or the weight in pounds of an object used in a competition. The houseguests answer by writing a number on a chalkboard provided for them. The houseguest closest to the number without going over becomes the Head of Household. If all competitors go over, the houseguest closest to the number becomes the Head of Household. If all houseguests write down the same number, the question is nullified and another tiebreaker is asked.

Skill

Big Brother 11 HouseGuests compete in a skill HOH competition.

Skill competitions, sometimes referred to as "crap shoots", usually involve bowling or shuffleboard-type games in which houseguests compete while trying to get their marker closest to a certain point without going past it (though sometimes, these competitions differ from that format). Skill competitions are usually completed live, but at times, they are not complete by the end of the live show. If so, viewers can watch the outcome on the live feeds or on the following episode.

Endurance

Endurance competitions extend well past the time constraints of the one-hour live program. Instead, they can be viewed on the live feeds. Houseguests generally line up on small platforms or revolving cylinders, with the last person standing becoming the Head of Household. Some competitions require houseguests to keep hold of a button. If a houseguest lets go, a light goes out and he or she is eliminated. Harsh weather conditions, such as rain, falling leaves, or foamy "snow" are frequently included to make the competitions as grueling as possible. Other times, prizes are awarded to tempt the houseguests into throwing the competition.

The Final Head of Household competition occurs when there are only three remaining houseguests. It is broken up into three sections; each to be played on a different day. The first competition is always an endurance competition and usually requires the houseguests to hold onto their key to the house through some grueling weather condition. The winner of round one automatically advances to round three, while the two remaining houseguests compete in a skill competition. The winner of round two advances to round three, with the loser of both rounds one and two eliminated from the HOH competition The final round is a quiz (usually "Jury Statements"), and, since Big Brother 11, has been played on finale night. The winner selects which of the two remaining houseguests he or she will take to the final two, with the other houseguest being immediately evicted and seated with the jury outside in the studio. Being the most important HOH competition of the game, all houseguests are eligible to compete, even the outgoing Head of Household.

The format for the final HOH competition in Big Brother 2 was different from later seasons. The first two rounds were point based and the two houseguests with the most points would compete in the final round.

During Big Brother: Over The Top, the Final HOH took place during the final four, rather than the final three, as voting for the winner was between the final three instead of the final two, similar to Big Brother 1. The same rules as usual applied, so the outgoing HOH was eligible to compete again. However, there was only one sole skill competition as opposed to three separate sections. The winner would automatically advance to the final three, and he or she would then choose someone else to join them, leaving the two remaining houseguests to participate in a Do or Die Competition for the third spot in the Final 3.

Perks of Head of Household

The Head of Household suite as seen in Big Brother 12.

The Head of Household receives his or her own private bedroom, equipped with a private bathroom and bathtub, a luxurious suite, and from Big Brother 5 onwards, a "Spy Screen" allowing the Head of Household to watch (but not hear) the other houseguests from the suite. The Head of Household also receives a gift basket with his or her favorite foods, a CD, and a letter from home. The Head of Household does not need to compete in the Have/Have Not Competition because they are guaranteed food for the week, but he or she is guaranteed to compete in the Power of Veto competition.

Responsibilities of Head of Household

The Head of Household hosted the Food Competition (later the Have/Have-Not Competition) by explaining the rules to the other houseguests. He or she also calls house meetings and announces when competitions are being played. Most importantly, the Head of Household selects two houseguests to nominate for eviction.

Prep

The Head of Household prepares the Nomination Box.

The procedure of nominations includes the Head of Household retrieving the house keys from the Memory Wall and placing them into the Nomination Box in the Head of Household room. The Head of Household places the keys of all safe houseguests into the box, while the two remaining keys are wrapped in a bag and left in the Head of Household room. The two houseguests without a key are nominated for eviction. Starting with Big Brother 16, the nomination procedure is the opposite, with the keys of the houseguests who are nominated being placed in a smaller box. The faces of the people who are nominated are then shown on the Memory Wall.
