Team America was a twist from Big Brother 16 in which America controls 3 of the houseguests that are put into this alliance. The first member was Joey Van Pelt, the second member was Donny Thompson, and the third and fourth were Derrick Levasseur and Frankie Grande.
Due to Joey being evicted before Team America was fully formed, an additional player was drafted into the alliance. It's unclear if Donny ever knew that Joey was in the alliance to begin with.
Shortly before Frankie was evicted, both he and Derrick were called into the Diary Room and informed that if either of them wins the game, that person will receive $50,000 in addition to the $500,000 prize.
