Dehydrated

Big BroVival: Dehydrated is the second season of the Big BroVival franchise. This season featured 16 new houseguests and 2 veterans (Brandon Harris and Vanessa Calado) from season one. The season premiered on August 5, 2015 and ended on Day 39, September 14, when Derek McMullen was crowned the winner, beating Vanessa in a close 5-4 vote.

Twists

 * Hidden Voting Veto: Season Two was the first season to feature the Hidden Voting Veto (aka HVV). The HVV is a power that can be played on a nominee after the eviction votes are cast, negating all votes cast against that houseguest and sending the houseguest with the next highest votes home instead. The power expired as soon as the Nominee Twist ended.


 * Nominee Twist: Due to the introduction of the HVV, instead of the typical two nominees, the Head of Household had to nominate three houseguests for eviction every week, in order to prevent an automatic eviction of the other nominee.


 * Dehydration: This season's main twist was known as the 'Dehydration Twist'. The houseguests would start at a water level of 100 and would progressively lose water by either coming in last place in a challenge, not competing at all or being inactive. Their water level could also be affected by special powers that could only be used for the Dehydration Phase. If a player's water level hit 0, they would be evicted from the Big BroVival house just like as if they had been nominated and voted out.

Voting History

 * On Day 1, every Houseguest was eligible to vote for one houseguest, that they wanted to be nominated, based on first impressions.
 * On Day 3, Patrick won the Diamond Power of Veto and got to choose a replacement nominee.
 * On Day 10, an instant eviction took place, meaning there was no POV competition.
 * In week 4, Jon returned via a comeback challenge.
 * On Day 16, BJ quit for personal reasons before the voting, cancelling the week.
 * Week 5 was known as "Wipeout Week". There were 2 HOHs who both had to make three nominees. There would be 2 POV Winners and at the end of the week, 2 houseguests evicted from the Big BroVival House.
 * In Week 6, Jesse found the Scarlet Veto at a veto competition and removed himself from the block. Tyler chose Derek as replacement.
 * On Day 28, the houseguests could win the Power of Veto, that gave them the sole vote to evict one of the remaining houseguests.
 * In Week 8, Quintin was dehydrated. Since he was the Head of Household, the week reset.
