Answer: The Amazing Race

As part of the first "Big Brother Takeover", Phil Keoghan, host of "The Amazing Race", brought former duo, Jeff and Jackie into the "Big Brother" house to play as houseguests. He said that was his way of returning the favor since for former "Big Brother" houseguests competed on "The Amazing Race" (i.e. Brenden and Rachel).

4. Season 17 of "Big Brother" introduced America to the first transgendered houseguest in "Big Brother" history. Who was she?

Answer: Audrey

Audrey was born as Adam Middleton.

5. What was John's occupation?

Answer: dentist

John, aka Johnny Mac, was known to his fellow houseguests and fans watching at home as "The Rockstar Dentist". I wish he was my dentist (no offense to the one I currently go to).

6. Vanessa told her fellow houseguests that she was a deejay. However, that was not her only occupation. What other profession did Vanessa keep from the rest of her house?

Vanessa is known to the world of poker as "Lady Maverick." She won as much as $4.5 million in live and online poker tournaments.

7. Who was the first houseguest evicted from the compound?

Answer: Jace

Jace was evicted by a vote of 12-1.

8. Who were the three members of the Whack-street Boys?

Answer: Liz, Jason, and John

The formation of the Whack-street Boys the result of remaining nominees Jason and John losing the "Battle of the Block" as well as Liz being dethroned as Head of Household. As punishment, they got to perform whenever someone announced on the loudspeaker that they were about to perform. That was a one week thing.

9. For the first half of the season, Shelli and Clay dominated the house as part of what 6-person alliance?

Answer: "The Sixth Sense"

"The Sixth Sense" consisted of Shelli, Clay, Vanessa, Austin, Liz, and Julia.

10. Who was the last Head of Household to be dethroned?

Answer: Jackie

Jackie won Head of Household along with Vanessa. She got dethroned when her nominees Liz and James won the "Battle of the Block" and became safe for the week.

11. Which of these houseguests was associated with the twin twist?

Answer: Liz

For the first five weeks, Liz and her twin sister Julia were playing as one person by switching places with the other twin (Liz was playing as herself and Julia was playing as Liz). When Liz and/or Julia survived the first five evictions, both twins entered the game together.

The twin twist lasted despite Davonne finding out about it early on in the game when she started to notice one twin was curvier than the other. After the fifth eviction, Julia officially entered the game.

12. Which juror was given a second chance to reenter the game?

Answer: John

Johnny Mac reentered the game on the same day he was evicted.

13. As a result of Liz winning the luxury competition, she and Vanessa went to the Staples Center to see the concert of what popstar?

Answer: Ariana Grande

None of the houseguests knew what the luxury reward was until Frankie Grande, the brother of Ariana Grande and former "Big Brother" houseguest, entered the house informing the houseguests that Liz won the right to see his sister in concerts with another houseguest. Liz chose Vanessa. It was nice for them to get away from the game for a while.

14. Who won $25,000 for being "America's Favorite Houseguest"?

Answer: James

The top three vote getters were Jason, Johnny Mac, and James. Davonne was an early favorite despite not receiving the three highest votes. I actually thought Johnny Mac was going to win "America's Favorite Houseguest", but I guess America liked the way James played pranks on his fellow houseguests.

15. Which houseguest won "Big Brother" season 17, taking home the $500,000 grand prize?

Answer: Steve

Steve won by a vote of 6-3. What an emotional victory for this "Big Brother" superfan!
