BIG BROTHER 2021
SEMI-FINAL 1

Welcome back to the popular and "outrageous" game here on the ESC United Forum. The ESC Big Brother game is back and our members will have to keep their favorites safe and vote out their threads as there can only be one winner. Who will win the title of Big Brother 2021 champion? We'll find out soon.

I will be your host throughout this season and I hope you'll enjoy the game. Let me explain to you how the game will work, click on SPOILER to see the rules of the game.

- The game is based on the popular Big Brother Reality TV show

- Each round, three songs will be nominated for eviction and one of the songs will be eliminated from the game. During the Semi-Final stage, we will continue until we're down to 13 songs in each Semi.

- Unlike ESC, the Big 5 and Host are NOT guaranteed a spot in the Final, they have to fight their way through the Semis just like any other song so no special treatment here.

- Every round, our members will vote for ONE song that they want to nominate for elimination and ONE song that they would like to keep safe.

- Please vote for the song that you would like to nominate for eviction by casting your vote in the poll. The two countries with the highest number of votes will be nominated for eviction. Reminder: You can only nominate one entry so be smart and strategic about your vote.

- Please post in this thread and pick a song that you would like to grant immunity to. All you have to write (ex): I would like to grant immunity to MADAGASCAR. (obviously pick an ESC country instead)
At the end of the period, we will throw all of your votes in a hat and will randomly choose the country to receive immunity. So the more votes a country receives for safety, the higher their chance to be safe that round.

- Everyone that votes to grant immunity to a country, is automatically eligible to become the next Power of Veto holder. The person that holds that power has the ability to provide Safety to one of the three nominated songs. The POV winner will need to send @Matt a Private Message letting him know which of the three nominated songs should be safe. It is up to them to decide to share their decision or keep it a secret. The host will post the name of the Veto winner in this thread and also send a PM with further instructions.

- Starting in Round 2, we will also choose a HoH randomly. Every person casting a vote for Immunity for a country will become eligible to win the powerful postion. The HoH will be able to nominate a third country/song in addition to the two entries chosen by the public

In a nutshell: Vote for the song that you would like to nominate for eviction in the poll, then post the country that you would like to grant immunity to by responding in this thread.

The game will start shortly so stay tuned.

he results are in! First up, let’s take a look at the members that were granted special powers this around:

IMMUNITY: @njdevils94 gave immunity to Belgium
Power of Veto: @94ayd will be able to save one of the three nominated songs from eviction
Head of Household: @CPV4931 will be able to nominate one song for eviction next round.

I will contact the PoV and HoH winners via PM shortly.

Here are the three nominated songs based on your votes in the poll:

Russia: Manizha "Russian Woman"
The Netherlands: Jeangu Macrooy "Birth of a New Age"
Malta: Destiny "Je Me Casse"

Both Netherlands and Russia have been nominated before but this is the first time Malta is in danger, right before we're ready to move on to the Grand Final. Who will just miss out? That is up to you.

A new poll will be up shortly. Please cast your vote for the song that you would like to evict from the game. Who should be eliminated next, Russia, Netherlands or Malta?

Reminder that the PoV winner has the ability to save one of the three nominated entries.

PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE A COUNTRY FOR IMMUNITY UNTIL THE NEXT ROUND. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU CAN DO SO AGAIN
