Welcome, housemates! As you may have already guessed .. you are infact being divided up into three houses! Nine of you will take residence in each of these houses, where you will compete for weekly power, fight to stay alive, and cast your votes. So, how were these houses chosen, exactly? There were pre-determined house locations attached to each of the check-in numbers you wrote your name and screenname beside! Essentially, you selected which house you were going to be drafted to without realizing it! Get comfortable!
Now that you've been moved into your selected houses, it's time to get to this week's Head of Household results. The results have been tallied universally, not per house. Therefore, the correct answer will always be what the majority in the game answered, not what the majority within your house answered. The three housemates, one per house, with the best score will win the coveted Head of Household power! If there is a tie of any sort within the houses, the tiebreaker will come into play, and that will then decide the winner(s).
Good luck, housemates! Results will begin in the post below.

With the creation of houses, comes another opportunity. Don't like where you ended up in the housing draft? Feel like you're in danger? Don't like the people you got placed with? Well, there's hope for you yet! It all comes in the form of a golden button. How does the button work? After Head of Household results have been posted each round, around 12 hours to be exact, housemates will be given the chance to change their house by being the first person to accurately 'hit' the gold button, effectively allowing them to switch houses.
You will be given a timeframe, in the span of one hour, to make a post signifying you want to change houses. The button will have a pre-determined time [00:00] within the span of the given hour, and the person who posts on the exact minute or closest to the minute, will be removed from their house and placed into another. However, there is a gamble! You will not be able to select the house you'll go to, that will be decided via the roll of a dice. Furthermore, in order to achieve the reward of breaking free of an undesirable house, you have to face risk. You will have to post in public, showing that you want to leave your house. You may be the lucky one to hit closest to or on the minute, but if not, you stay in the house you were originally drafted to.
Example: Let's say the timeframe given to post is 11:00AM-12:00PM EST. There will be a thread already created with the button in it. When 11:00AM arrives, anyone may post during the hour if they wish to switch houses. Housemates may only post once. If you post more than once, your first post will be the one that counts. If you delete or edit a post, your post will not count and you will not be allowed to switch houses. Once you post, it is final; no exceptions! Now, say the pre-determined time is 11:32AM [you won't know this], and Shir posts at 11:05AM, Kat posts at 11:28AM, and Colby posts at 11:49AM. Kat would be the one to press the button, as her time was the closest. She would then be asked to roll a dice to determine her new house.
