The third season of Big Brother, the American reality TV show, aired 32 episodes during the summer of 2002, from July 10 to September 25. In this season, a new twist was added to the game, in that the HouseGuests could compete for a Power of Veto. At a weekly meeting, the winner could decide to veto a HouseGuest that the Head of Household had placed on the nomination block. In this season, it was not possible for a nominee to use the veto on themselves until the "Golden Power of Veto" was introduced. This was the first and only season to have every evicted HouseGuest on the jury. In Season 2, Justin was not allowed to vote for a winner, due to his expulsion from the game.
Along with Big Brother 4, it has been released on DVD. However, Big Brother 3 is the only one to be released as a complete season set.

HouseGuests
Amy
Amy Crews is a 23-year-old real estate appraiser from Memphis, TN.[1] She was originally evicted from the house on day 27 in a 7-0 vote. However, Amy returned to the house on day 41 when a special twist had the current contestants voting an evicted HouseGuest back into the game. On day 76, Amy was evicted from the house a second time in a 1-0 vote. Her best friend in the house was Marcellas. She didn't like Chiara and often referred to her as Chi-whore-a, though they appeared to have settled their differences by the final night. Amy appeared in a special eviction night segment in Big Brother All-Stars where she discussed former houseguest Marcellas, and revealed that their once close friendship no longer existed. She also returned to the house in Big Brother 10 where she competed in a food competition.
Chiara
Chiara Jude Berti is a 25-year-old marketing representative from New York, NY.[2] She was evicted from the house on day 48 in a 4-1 vote. She had a showmance with Roddy and was in the Couples Alliance with him, Eric, and Lisa. Chiara was popular in the house until she won head of household, but this popularity seemed to diminsh afterwards. This coupled with her decision to vote against her 'best friend' in the house Lisa the week before lead to her becoming an easy target, and she was evicted just one week after being Head of Household. Only Danielle voted to save Chiara on her eviction night.
Danielle
Danielle Reyes is a 30-year-old media buyer from Fairfield, CA.[3] She is married and has two children. She was declared the runner-up of the season on day 82 and won $50,000 USD, losing to Lisa Donahue in a 9-1 vote. This result sparked criticism from some fans who felt that Danielle lost the game purely on her entries in the Diary Room, where she often spoke about her fellow houseguests in a mocking and critical manner. The following season, the jury house was introduced, perhaps because of Danielle's loss. Early on in the game, Danielle teamed up with Jason in a strong but very secretive alliance. The alliance almost took them to the final 2, but they failed to win the final Head of Household prompting Lisa to evict Jason. Jason was Danielle's only vote in the final. In 2006, Danielle accepted an offer to appear on Big Brother 7: All Stars, where she claimed she was seeking redemption for her Big Brother 3 loss. She placed sixth.
Eric
Eric Ouellette is a 27-year-old firefighter from Milford, CT.[4] He was a member of the couples alliance with Lisa, Chiara and Roddy. Eric was evicted by Gerry on day 34 in a tiebreaker 4-3 vote against his house showmance Lisa.
Gerry
Gerald "Gerry" Lancaster is a 51-year-old teacher from Shadow Hills, CA.[5] Gerry was evicted on day 55 in a 4-0 vote.
Jason
Jason Guy is a 25-year-old videographer from Mobile, AL.[6] He is a born-again Christian. Jason was evicted by eventual winner Lisa Donahue on day 78.
Josh
Josh Feinberg is a 28-year-old waiter from Long Island, NY.[7] He was evicted on day 41 in a 5-0 vote.
Lisa
Lisa Donahue is a 26-year-old bartender from Los Angeles, CA.[8] She was declared the winner of the show on day 82 in a 9-1 vote. She received $500,000 USD as a prize for winning the show. Lisa was a candidate for Big Brother 7: All Stars in 2006 but was not chosen to compete during the actual season.
Lori
Lori Olsen is a 37-year-old bank representative from Foxboro, WI.[9] She was evicted on day 13 in a 5-4 vote. Lori is probably best remembered for starting an explosive argument with Danielle out of the blue, when she took offensive to the other housemates discussing Gerry's hygiene when he was not around.
Marcellas
Marcellas Reynolds is in his 30s and from Chicago, IL.[10] He was evicted on day 69 in a 2-1 vote. Marcellas hosted House Calls: The Big Brother Talk Show, an Internet talk show that was available at CBS.com. Marcellas returned on Big Brother 7: All Stars in 2006.
Roddy
Roddy Mancuso is a 30 year-old writer from Morristown, NJ.[11] He was evicted from the house on day 62 in a 3-0 vote.
Tonya
Tonya Paoni is a 35 year-old retail sales specialist from Las Vegas, NV.[12] She was evicted on day 20 in a 5-3 vote.
Memorable Events
- A twist added was called Expect the Unexpected, in which, for the first time, a HouseGuest would be allowed back in the house by a group vote. The first four evictees were asked how much of the prize money they would be willing to give up in return for a chance to enter the house again. Each of the houseguests said half except Lori, who was only willing to give up $50,000 and was therefore eliminated from consideration. Next, the houseguests were asked how many of the remaining days they would be willing to eat only PB&J in order to earn a chance to return. Tonya said half, but Eric and Amy both said they would eat it for all the remaining days and were the last 2 left. Then, the HouseGuests still in the house voted on which of the two they wanted to return. In a surprise move, Lisa, who had developed a romance with Eric, chose not to bring him back into the house, voting for Amy instead. The plan was to have Amy immediately voted back out again upon her return in "Operation Revolving Door", but she won Head of Household that first week and the plan failed.
- Marcellas committed what is still considered by fans the stupidest move in Big Brother's history. In season three, if you were a nominee and held the Power of Veto you could not use it on yourself. But if you won the last veto of the season (final five) you could. When Marcellas and Amy were nominated by Jason, Marcellas won the competition. Seeming to believe that he had an agreement with HouseGuest Danielle, Marcellas chose not to use the veto on himself, to spare Jason having to choose between Lisa and Danielle to replace him. However, Danielle did in fact vote to evict Marcellas, making it a 1-1 tie that was broken by HoH Jason who also voted to evict Marcellas, telling him he "should have used the veto". Until Season 8, when Dick didn't use the veto on himself saving his daughter and survived eviction, this was the only time that a nominated HouseGuest won the Veto and did not use it on themselves. Marcellas still felt betrayed at Danielle four years later when they both appeared on Big Brother: All Stars and he found it difficult to talk to or be around her, though they eventually made their peace in the house.
- Danielle and Jason maintained a "secret alliance" unknown to the other HouseGuests. They would speak in whispers and give signals to communicate.
- The "Couples Alliance" featured Roddy/Chiara and Eric/Lisa. Lisa would later surprise the viewers when she voted not to bring her "showmance" Eric back into the house. Lisa and Eric usually shared a bed and he caused amusement when he talked in his sleep most nights.
- Marcellas and Amy developed a very close friendship during their time in house, but later had a dramatic and emotional falling out during their final week in the house together when they were nominated against each other.
- Every HouseGuest (except Danielle, Jason and Lori) were shown completely nude on CBS.com's 24-hour live feed. This was the first and, as of Big Brother 8, last time the majority of the cast were shown naked online. The camera crews are now instructed to tilt their cameras away from a HouseGuest when they start to remove clothing.
- Lisa, Chiara and Tonya caused a stir when they displayed "Peanut Butter bikinis".
- The final vote for Lisa to win is particularly memorable as this was the last season in which evicted houseguests were not sequestered and so could view all of the show's footage, both televised and online, along with the rest of the nation. As a result, Danielle's mocking and sometimes derogatory comments about her fellow houseguests in the Diary Room contributed to her ultimate loss.
