Head of Household

The Head of Household (abbreviated HOH) is the position of supreme power and control in the Big Brother House. The Head of Household is determined by a competition each week. The winner of HOH is free from the threat of eviction. They receive perks, such as getting their own private bedroom, but are also faced with the decision of nominating two houseguests for eviction and putting up a replacement nominee if the Veto is used. The previous Head of Household is not eligible to play in the subsequent Head of Household competition, and thus, cannot be Head of Household twice in a row (unless the houseguests are down to the Final 3).
