Aired summer 2007 · The public-task twist

America's Player

A double-barreled twist season. Fourteen houseguests enter under a "'Til Death Do You Part" framing built on pre-existing relationships and grudges, including the most publicized father-daughter pairing the franchise had attempted to that point. Layered on top is America's Player — one houseguest secretly tasked each week by public vote. The twist mechanics give the season its texture, and the relationship framing gives it its argument. A useful study in how much the show can stack on a single summer.
