"CBS Announces the Return of the "Big Brother Fantasy League"

Players Choose a Four-Person Team of "Big Brother" HouseGuests and Score Points
In 11 Categories

Free Registration Begins Right After "Big Brother 4" Premieres On July 8

For the second consecutive year, BIG BROTHER fans will be able to compete against each other throughout the summer in the official BIG BROTHER FANTASY LEAGUE available exclusively at CBS.com

Registered players pick four HouseGuests as their team and score points in 11 categories during each of BIG BROTHER's three weekly episodes. Points will be awarded to each HouseGuest in such categories as winning the Head of Household or Food competitions, crying, wearing a towel and kissing.

In addition to scoring points as in fantasy sporting games, the BIG BROTHER FANTASY LEAGUE will enable players to trade non-nominated HouseGuests at anytime except during East Coast and West Coast broadcast times.

"BIG BROTHER viewers seem to have an insatiable appetite for interactivity, and last year's FANTASY LEAGUE attracted more than 80,000 participants," said David Katz, Senior Vice President, Strategic Planning and Interactive Ventures, CBS. "We hope that this year's exciting 'X Factor' twist will give our loyal online fans yet another reason to tune in, play along and compete against their fellow viewers."

CBS.com will automatically keep track of each player's points and post an overall leader board as well as a weekly leader board for those who sign up to play after BIG BROTHER 4's July 8th premiere (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT).

Free registration for the BIG BROTHER FANTASY LEAGUE begins Tuesday, July 8. Complete league rules will be available at CBS.com."

I'm signed up. I guess the points are based on the shows, so CBS has control over who they show in towels, kissing, eating oranges, crying, etc. But eviction , nomination, food challenge cannot be messed with I guess.

from cbs:

2) Managing Your Team: You may have a maximum of four active Big Brother HouseGuest's on your team at any time during the promotion period. Once you have successfully registered a team you can trade any or all four of your Big Brother Fantasy League "HouseGuest" team members as many times as you like during the promotion period by deleting a Houseguest from your Fantasy League team and replacing him or her with any other HouseGuest still active in the game. A team roster freeze will be in effect from the East coast airing until 4 hours after the telecast on the nights Big Brother 4 is broadcast. Weekly during the promotion period the number of active HouseGuests will decrease by one (1) as a HouseGuest is voted off the show. If a member of your Big Brother 4 Fantasy League team is voted off the show, you may replace that expelled HouseGuest with an active HouseGuest. If a HouseGuest of your Fantasy League team is nominated for eviction you may not trade that HouseGuest unless, after the voting, they are not evicted and return to the game as a regular HouseGuest. You cannot place an evicted HouseGuest on your team.

3) Scoring Points: Big Brother 4 HouseGuests will be awarded points based on their actions, and outcome of events (e.g., appears in a towel) during an episode. Episode #3 of Big Brother 4, scheduled for broadcast on 7/11/03, will be the first episode used to accrue points to registered players. Team point totals will be updated by 11AM Eastern Time following the night of each new Big Brother 4 broadcast. All decisions regarding scoring in the Big Brother 4 Fantasy League will be made by an "Official Scorer", a CBS.com representative whose decisions are final on matters relating to the awarding of points in this game. Points in each episode will be awarded ONLY for qualifying activities occurring during new, previously unseen footage. No points will be awarded for events that occur during flashbacks of any sort, or for activities visible on monitors during in-studio segments with CBS host. Points are awarded solely for material broadcast during the Big Brother 4 television program, nothing seen on a webcam is eligible for points unless it's also used on the broadcast show.

Following are the categories for which points will be awarded in the Big Brother 4 Fantasy League (categories and corresponding point awards are subject to change at any time):


Head of Household: You score 20 points if one of your Fantasy HouseGuests wins the Head of Household competition.

Nomination: You LOSE 10 points per HouseGuest if a member of your Fantasy Team is nominated for eviction.

Eviction: You LOSE 15 points if a member of your Fantasy Team is evicted from the Big Brother House.

Food Competition: You score 3 points if one of your HouseGuests wins a Food Competition. If more than one of your HouseGuests is on a team that wins the Food Competition, you score 3 points for each of them.

Kisses: You score 4 points any time one of your HouseGuests kisses another HouseGuest on any part of their body. You score 4 points if one of your HouseGuests is the recipient of such a gesture.

Subtitled: You score 5 points any time one of your HouseGuests' speech is subtitled. You score the points only once for a single conversation, regardless of duration.

Crying: You score 7 points for each distinct time one of your HouseGuests cries, provided that actual tears are shed. No points are awarded if tears cannot be seen. If the same crying session is shown multiple times in an episode, only 7 points are awarded.

Appears in a Towel: You score 5 points whenever one of your HouseGuests appears wearing a towel as a substitute for clothes. This includes, but is not limited to, a HouseGuest wrapping up after exiting the shower, pool or hot tub or a HouseGuest wrapping their hair in a towel. Points WILL NOT be awarded if a HouseGuest merely drapes a towel over their shoulder.

Shoots a Basketball: You score 3 points every time one of your HouseGuests shoots a basketball towards the basketball hoop. Points are awarded for each time they shoot.

Eats an Orange: You score 25 points if one of your Houseguests eats any part of a fresh orange. Points are awarded to any of the HouseGuests who eat the orange, so the orange can be shared. Points are only awarded to each HouseGuest once per scene, no matter how many oranges they eat. They can be awarded points for eating another orange if it occurs at another point in the episode.

Plays a Game: You score 3 points any time one of your HouseGuests plays a game with another HouseGuest. Games include, cards, chess, backgammon, etc. Points are not awarded if they play around with the equipment from the game in a non-competitive way.

Animals: You score 5 points any time one of your HouseGuests holds or feeds an animal. This applies to any animal that may be in the Big Brother house at any time.

Thanks for the rules, seamonkey. This is going to be a great game for my co-workers and I. We truly live up to the saying "talk around the water cooler" when it comes to Big Brother!

Does anyone know how to set up themselves for more than one team...when I tried this at CBS Fantasy Survivor it would prevent my access to my first team and only allow my access to my current team -- and unfortuneately I was on both 'rosters' but only able to vote for one.

I contact their admins a few times but they did not respond...

Debbied, Oakharbor, Amy:

The Washington team name is 'Washington Dawgs' (no offense to any Coug fans) and the password it 'tvch'...these are case-sensitive.

Once registered, you can select your roster of four houseguests to hopefully perform any of the activites in Seamonkey's post above (also available at CBS Fantasy Rules. This game is not really 'who will be nominated / who will be evicted'. But TVCH has a really great version for that here in the 'BB Games' folder.

Jack played chess with Scott, David and Erika.

I'm registered, but there is no team that I know of.

The most points scored for last night's show is 101. The top 100 people on the Leaderboard all have 101 points. Do we have anybody who got the 101 points???

Here's where that total came from:
Alison 32, Nathan 25, Jun 25, and Scott 19 = 101

Caroline

Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 12:57 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I only got 85 points -- my team was everyone (Alison, Nate, & Jun) but I had Dana instead of Scott or Justin and only got 3 points for her. Silly me...

Don't feel silly......I only got 45 points. I had Michelle, Nathan, David, and Jack.

Anyone else notice shill24 is listed in 1st place with 128 points? How the heck that happen? The only thing I can figure is they had a person on their team twice.

Cheater :)

Alaginger

Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 07:46 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
WHOW!!! The only way to get 128 points is to pick Alison 4 times, because she got the most points at 32.......and 32 times 4 is 128. Can you pick a houseguest 4 times, and not pick any other houseguest?

I just sent a feedback to cbs, not that they will do anything...but it doesn't seem right...maybe if we all send a feedback asking them to check the scores they will.

I have never done this CBS league thing before and I have some questions I couldnt figure out from the rules.

Are points calculated every friday or do you get points on tuesday, wednesday and friday?

Can we trade our HGs anytime we want except four hours before a show? Or are we still in the "promotional" period where we can change out the HGs. Will we get locked into the HGs at some point?

I dumped Scott two days ago before he got evicted and traded him for someone else. Will I escape a pentalty charge of 15 points?

I havent figured out how to get a score of 80. I only got 52 points this week.

Iceprincess

You get points for every aired show, points are calculated after every show.
You can trade your houseguests at any time. I was never locked into mine except when they were nominated.
You should not get penalty points for scott because he was asked to leave not evicted. Besides you dumped him before the next show.
I had alison, scott, nathan, and erika I had over 80 points because scott, nathan and alison scored 25 points or above.

Just a note that during Survivor I contacted CBS three times via their web address -- twice regarding points they did not add to my scores (even though they were on my tally sheet...of course, I kept print outs before and after they went haywire) and, naturally, CBS did not respond...
