Big Brother Beta

Big Brother Beta is the upcoming reality competition-style fanfiction featuring characters from the board series ANDC Digimon Recode, more specifically from the members Ryouseiken and SukaiDark.

Production
Big Brother Beta is a piece of fanfiction being created by Ryouseiken, a staff member on ANDC Digimon Recode. Previously being written as a project for an intimately small selection of people to read, Ryouseiken or "Ry" for short decided that he would bring it to the board not only for additional critique but also to boost the interest of those who come to the board with unique pieces of writing unable to be found anywhere else.

The fanfic is Rated M for offensive language, alcohol, and suggestive themes. There is currently no determined date as to when Big Brother Beta will be displayed to the members of the site although the writer does claim, "When everything else is set in stone in terms of the board seeing how it's still in the midst of revival, then I'll contemplate an actual date to reveal this writing."

''' An Important Note: The writer has decided that he will use this page for spoilers in relation to the progress of the unseen fanfiction. It is advised that if you do not want spoilers in any way that you forego reading the rest of the page.'''

Format
HouseGuests were sequestered in the Big Brother House with no contact to or from the outside world. Each week, the HouseGuests took part in several compulsory challenges that determine who will win food, luxuries, and power in the House. The winner of the weekly Head of Household competition was immune from nominations and nominated two fellow HouseGuests for eviction. After a HouseGuest became Head of Household, he or she was ineligible to take part in the next Head of Household competition. The winner of the Power of Veto competition won the right to save one of the nominated HouseGuests from eviction. If the Veto winner exercised the power, the Head of Household then nominated another HouseGuest for eviction. HouseGuests also took part in Have vs. Have-Not competitions in which they were divided into either the "Haves" or the "Have Nots" depending on their performance in the competitions. HouseGuests that become "Have Nots" for the week had to eat "Big Brother slop" and a weekly food restriction (chosen by the viewing public), take cold showers, and sleep on uncomfortable beds in a room with constant fluorescent lighting.

On eviction night, all HouseGuests except for the Head of Household and the two nominees vote to evict one of the two nominees. This compulsory vote was conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room by the host Julia. In the event of a tie, the Head of Household cast the deciding vote, announcing it in front of the other HouseGuests. Unlike other versions of Big Brother, the HouseGuests may discuss the nomination and eviction process openly and freely. The nominee with the greater number of votes will be evicted from the House on the live broadcast, exiting to an adjacent studio to be interviewed by Julia. HouseGuests may voluntarily leave the House at any time and those who break the rules may be expelled from the house by Big Brother. The final nine HouseGuests evicted during the season will vote for the winner on the season finale. These "Jury Members" will be sequestered in a separate house and will not be allowed to watch the show except for competitions and ceremonies that include all of the remaining HouseGuests. The jury members will not be shown any Diary Room interviews or any footage that may include strategy or details regarding nominations.

For this particular season which is being dubbed as a Beta Season, Digimon are now being allowed to participate alongside human players as contestants. Unsure of how this new format will work, production decided to forego open calls and bring in twelve moderately known tamers and twelve digimon, some partners and others not, to participate and test the formula. The first twist was announced that they would be participating separately from one another for an unknown period of time; meaning there would be one human HoH and one digimon HoH, four nominees, two Power of Veto winners, and two evictions every week.

The second twist revolved around the Head of Household in which the human HoH would be in charge of nominating those on the Digimon side while the digimon HoH would be in charge of nominating those on the Human side. This was done to 'shake things up' as well as push for increased cross-species interaction and conversation.

HouseGuests
A total of twenty-four houseguests will compete, twelve humans and twelve digimons to be precise. There were other tamers and digimon considered (Ex: Ross, Avira, Haiji, Raze, Drago, etc) but ultimately were not selected.
