BB1
“The one that started it all”
Eddie McGee
Josh Souza
Key twist. Public vote — America decided who was evicted, not the houseguests
Defining moment. Chicken George became the first breakout BB personality
Fun fact. The only season where houseguests did not vote to evict each other. The format was completely overhauled for Season 2.
Week by Week
| Wk | HOH | Nominees | Veto | Evicted | Vote |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | — | William Collins, Jean Jordan | — | William Collins | 73% to banish |
Unique BB1 format: no HOH and no veto. Each week houseguests privately nominated two others; the names with the most internal nominations were 'marked for banishment,' and the AUDIENCE (America) then voted by phone to remove one of them. William Collins was the first banished (Day 17). | |||||
| 2 | — | Curtis Kin, Jean Jordan | — | Jean Jordan | 78% to banish |
| 3 | — | Cassandra Waldon, Josh Souza, Karen Fowler | — | Karen Fowler | 76% to banish |
Three nominees this cycle due to a tie in internal nominations. Karen Fowler banished on Day 44. | |||||
| 4 | — | Brittany Petros, Cassandra Waldon, Curtis Kin, Eddie McGee, George Boswell, Josh Souza | — | Brittany Petros | 34% to banish |
Six houseguests were marked for banishment after a mass tie. Brittany Petros banished on Day 58. | |||||
| 5 | — | Cassandra Waldon, Curtis Kin, Eddie McGee | — | Cassandra Waldon | 46% to banish |
Around Day 64 producers offered the remaining houseguests $20,000 (later raised to $50,000) to voluntarily WALK from the house, with a replacement (Beth Thieme) waiting to enter. NO houseguest accepted, so no one left the game voluntarily in BB1. Cassandra Waldon banished on Day 72. | |||||
| 6 | — | Curtis Kin, Eddie McGee, George Boswell, Jamie Kern | — | George Boswell | 51% to banish |
| 7 | — | Curtis Kin, Eddie McGee, Jamie Kern, Josh Souza | — | Jamie Kern | 31% to banish |
All four remaining houseguests were marked. Jamie Kern banished on Day 86, setting the final three. | |||||
| 8 | — | Curtis Kin, Josh Souza, Eddie McGee | — | Curtis Kin | Curtis 14%, Josh 27%, Eddie 59% |
Finale (Day 88): the winner was decided by a PUBLIC vote among the final three, not a jury. America voted for who should WIN. Curtis Kin finished 3rd (14%). Eddie McGee won with 59%, beating runner-up Josh Souza (27%). | |||||
