Season 7

Winter BBUK 2019: Camp Slasher (originally dubbed Midsummer BBUK 2019: Camp Slasher) was the seventh season in the JBBUK series, and the third winter edition. A controversial 3-month hiatus that froze the game after Day 16 caused this season to be split up into two parts: the summer and the winter.

This was the first and only season to feature returning players as competing non-housemates, as four former winners battled it out alongside the rookies to become the top Counselor and assert their dominance.

The theme of this season was a horror movie camp slasher.

Despite it being an all-rookie season, the housemates proved to play some of the most strategic games yet. Counselors' orders were rarely obeyed or listened to, aside from X, who tried to get very involved with his campers. Despite X's attempts to get his alliance to vote together, they eventually turned on each other.

Notable alliances included Christinan/Kindred/Systrix at the end, Kindred/Systrix as the female power duo, Johnny/Systrix and Johnny/Kindred, and X's campers. For the first time ever, a jury determined the winner, and public favorite, Chance, won the game against Systrix and Christian in a 5-2-0 vote.

Counselors
Adelaide (Season 4, 1st; Season 5, 2nd)

Queen Adelaide has the best average placement of any BBUK vet. After winning Fresh Meat following a fierce rivalry that split the house in two, a deft control of the nominations for the first half of the season, and a huge target on her back at the end of the season, she returned in Bad Blood… and racked up LOTS of bad blood. Despite this, she shockingly managed to go unnominated for most of the season, and deflected the target off her back with amazing strategic gameplay, despite being the only returning winner in the season. Much of her power came from falling in line with a powerful girl’s alliance that ran the game, dubbed the “Bad Bitches”, but also knowing how and when to create and shaft additional friendships and alliances.

Daphne (Season 1, 12th; Season 2, 11th; Season 3, 7th; Season 5, 1st)

Iconically walking in Summer of Secrets after a Category 4 level meltdown, and getting in bed with the house target in an XXX-rated showmance in Kingdom of Ice, Daphne has had the most transformative journey of any winner. The Cara Maria of BBUK, she is as “vet” as it gets, which was most apparent when she suddenly pulled out all the stops to become a strategic icon that ran the game in Code Red. Daphne’s win was long overdue by the time she competed in Bad Blood, and in some ways, it was almost a cake walk for her. Going from a volatile drama-obsessed mess to a social, strategic comp beast who went under-the-radar with her social bonds, Daphne almost made it to the end of Bad Blood unnominated. She’s known for her love of girl power, as she ran the game with an all-female Bad Bitches alliance, and her ride-or-die, Aimee.

Kyle (Season 2, 1st; Season 3, 15th)

Kyle was the only rookie in Kingdom of Ice to stand a chance against the three vets in the final, and he shocked all by actually beating them! Looking back, it wasn’t that much of a shock though, as he straddled the line between shade and social tact flawlessly, knowing when to quietly sip tea, and when to throw it in somebody’s face. His “as long as it’s not me” strategy and showmance with the former winner allowed Kyle to shamelessly betray allies and ride the vets (one vet in particular) to the end. In Code Red, Kyle was immediately targeted, but lasted all the way until midseason because of his low-key, fun personality.

X (Season 3, 18th; Season 5, 13th; Season 6, 1st)

One of the staple villains of BBUK, X’s premiere season was marked with power grabs and particularly dictator-style gameplay. By winning every power and relentlessly taking out legendary vets, he proved to be a threat, and was subsequently evicted early. In Bad Blood, X played a little more under-the-radar… for about a week. After that, it was same old X versus the world, with his unapologetic gameplay causing many players to gun for him, getting him another early boot! But all changed in Battle of Class, when he played one of the best strategic games of all-time, with some likening him to Tyler Crispen or BB19 Paul. Constructing an all-guys alliance of 10 dubbed “Boyritos”, X and his army of loyal soldiers managed to ACTUALLY control the entire season, without any formidable opposition. Lots of this was due to X’s manipulative, less-intense approach to the game— throughout the game many of his own allies were proud to play the game for X, instead of themselves!

Housemates
Anton

Unlike some of our fame-mongers, Anton is here for some good, old fun…. and maybe a little bit of drama. He compares himself to Tim from BBCAN4, because he likes to enjoy himself and not take everything super seriously. That’s probably a good thing, considering the pressure cooker he’s about to enter! But will Anton maintain his easygoing disposition for the whole span of the game?

Chance

He compares himself to Charley Uchea, for his loud, bitchy behaviors, and he also vows to scorch the house with drama. We’re sure the viewers will love that! But will his housemates?

Christian

Christian promises to bring the “reality” to this season. If that means keeping it real in a house full of lies, that shouldn’t be hard at all… right?

Jasoi

This sassy Chima-esque housemate has been a fan of the JBBUK series for a while now, and he’s excited to put his hat into the ring! Will he rep superfans all across the globe?

Joey

Joey plans on being a strategic and social player, while also dominating what goes down in the house. So, basically perfect, right? He plans on using his social game to get far, while winning comps as needed. Will his personality get him easily to the finish line, or will others try to nudge him out of the way?

Johnny

A good competitor that is ready to compete, Johnny is coming into this season guns blazing. He compares himself to mastermind Tyler Crispen, who was someone with a good strategy, and someone who could win competitions. Is Johnny set to become this season’s resident comp beast, or will he burn out too quickly?

Kindred

She describes herself as “old”, and hopes to bring loyalty and fun to the series. While she’s never see BB before, she’s ready to throw her hat in the ring. Will she manage to find a “kindred” spirit in the house?

Melinda

Most will say drama, but Melinda says entertainment! She compares herself to Sarah Greenwood, because she, too, is herself above anything else, despite getting the “bitch” label. Will Melinda’s fighting spirit get her far, or get her into conflict?

Rulz

Rulz plans on bringing everything to the game. That’s definitely a lot to bring! In BB terms, she’s a Stephanie McMichael, but talking overall reality tv, she’s a Candice Cody. Can she pull out all the stops and become a reality legend in her own right?

Scott

Scott loves twists, comps, and challenges. He plans on putting his all into this season, and likens himself to Dan Gheesling, because of his strategic gameplay and bold moves! Will he run the show this season, or will his competitive edge be his downfall?

Sea

Sea is taking a lighthearted approach to BBUK, hoping to bring the comedy! Also finding herself unlike any other former players, she plans on carving out a new path for herself in the house. Will she ride big waves, or will she end up on dry land?

Systrix

She plans on bringing good vibes to the house, and she’s never seen an episode of Big Brother, except for the Philippines version! Is love, peace, and harmony going to be enough for newbie, Systrix?

Wakiza

Wakiza has a positive attitude and a very funny personality, and they expect to bring entertainment to the house. They compares themselves to Jillian (BBCAN1) because they're a social powerhouse that will do whatever it takes to get to the end— even lying to their closest friends! Will their cutthroat strategy serve them well in one of the most cutthroat games ever?

Week 1
13 rookies moved into Camp Slasher, where it was revealed that everyone would be living in a different cabin led by a former BBUK winner. The winners, Adelaide, Daphne, Kyle, and X, would serve as "Counselors" for the season, and compete to become the best Counselor of Camp Slasher. The winner would be the first and only Counselor/Coach to win BBUK and prove themselves as the best BBUK mentor.

It was announced that the Camp Slasher and Lifesaver would be won by a camper and Counselor, respectively, each week. The Counselors would get to save 1 camper from nominations, while the Camp Slasher would get to anonymously killer nominate 1 housemate. Week 1, however, the Camp Slasher was made public knowledge amongst the house.

The Slasher Nominees each week would automatically go up for eviction and lose the right to nominate.

Premiere Night Competition: "I Stan"

The rules:

I will post a "Meet the Cast" blog, and a "Meet the Counselors" blog. Your goal is to get as many different users to comment "I stan (YOUR USERNAME)" in the blog post. You will want them to tag your USERNAME because that will tag YOU, and I am only counting comments that tag a legitimate username. The same Tengaged user can tag multiple housemates and counselors, and the same Tengaged user can comment on both posts.

The results:

The housemate with the most tags became the first (and only public) Camp Slasher. The counselor with the most tags on the blog post won the first Lifesaver, and the order that the counselors finished dictated the drafting order for camps. Counselors sent lists ahead of time to determine their picks.

X and Melinda won "I Stan." X saved Johnny from nominations, and Melinda chose to killer nominate Scott.

Jasoi was Daphne's final camper, so she was fired upon his eviction and left the house, too. Daphne later joined jury to replace Sea.

Week 7
Hell Week

From this point forward, counselors were no longer able to affect the game through powers or challenges. They were simply living with their campers. A 4-month hiatus took place, in which nothing happened. But the game did not end! The housemates survived. And we went into the first non-live Hell Week.

A public poll determined the Hell Week picking order, as the housemates competed in the BBUK staple, Crack My Eggs. The cracking order was as follows:

1. Johnny

2. Kindred

3. Wakiza

4. Chance

5. Christian

6. Joey

7. Systrix

Kindred won the competition, becoming the Queen of Hell, giving her the power to nominate 2 housemates for eviction. She chose Christian and Wakiza. A tense confrontation followed, and because Joey failed to vote, it was a 2-1 vote in favor of evicting Wakiza.

Queen of Hell: Kindred

Nominees: Christian & Wakiza

Evicted: Wakiza [2-1]

Week 8
Because Joey failed to vote in the prior eviction, and because he did not submit nominations this round, he was ejected. Chance and Johnny were nominated for eviction (despite Kindred nominating herself).

Vote to Evict

Evicted- Johnny (62%)

For the first time in any BBUK season, The Battle Royale commenced. Part One of The Battle Royale entailed the public choosing their winner. This person was known as the Public's Choice. Chance received the most votes from the public, granting him a ticket to the final.

Public's Choice Poll Results:

1st- Chance (56.2%)

2nd- Kindred (21.3%)

3rd- Systrix (15.7%)

4th- Christian (6.7%)

Chance was then tasked with picking one person to join him in the final. He chose Christian. Christian was tasked with choosing the final person to join himself and Chance in the final. He chose Systrix.

Kindred became the first housemate in BBUK history to be evicted in the Battle Royale.

Public's Choice: Chance

Second Finalist: Christian

Third Finalist: Systrix

Evicted: Kindred

As Kindred was Adelaide's final camper, Adelaide was fired and left the house with Kindred. Adelaide joined the jury to replace Joey.

Week 10
The finale/reunion commenced, and Chance was crowned the winner of BBUK: Camp Slasher in a 5-2-0 vote. Systrix was the runner-up, and Christian was the 2nd runner-up.

Kyle had 2 campers in the final, while X had 1. X's camper, Chance, won the game. Therefore, X was crowned the Winning Counselor, and won the prestige of becoming the best BBUK mentor.

Voting History

* The 2 Fired Counselors (Daphne and Adelaide) replaced Sea and Joey. Daphne voted for Systrix; Adelaide voted for Chance.

* In Week 3, Jasoi did not nominate, but communicated his scheduled absence to BB ahead of time, so he did not face a penalty nomination
