Hide and Go Veto (sometimes called Hide and Seek Veto) is a recurring Power of Veto, Luxury & Head of Household competition.

Rules[]

Each houseguest will receive a Power of Veto card and, one at a time, will go into the house to hide it somewhere. After everyone has hidden the Veto card in a spot, the players will go in one at a time to search for the Veto for a select period of time. Once a card is found, it will be placed on a board until all cards, except one, are found.

Once the cards are on the board, the host will reveal the names that are inside. The houseguest whose name is not revealed will win the POV.

While waiting in between turns, the houseguests are in a soundproof booth wearing headphones, so they can't communicate to one another during the duration of the challenge.

History[]

The competition first appeared on Big Brother 8 (US), during the first week. Daniele Donato, eventual runner-up, won her first POV competition of the summer.

After a hiatus, the competition reappeared on Big Brother 12 (US), as a luxury competition, which was won by Britney Haynes in Week 9.

Following another hiatus, it reappeared again on Big Brother 16 (US), during Week 12, as the first and only luxury competition of the season. Hayden Voss won the competition for himself and Victoria Rafaeli, winning them both $5,000 each. From this season onward it appeared annually.
