Tree of Temptation

The Tree of Temptation is a tree that stands within the house bearing fruit, good and bad. Good representing hidden powers, while the bad represented punishmesnts. It featured in the seventh season of the series as the main twist. The tree was designed to give out these 'fruits' at certain points in the games.

On the premiere night of the same season, the tree gave it's first gift to every houseguest as a welcoming gift. The gift was a 'Double Vote' - which meant that they would be able to double their votes to evict on one week before the final five. However, there was a downside to the gift, if their double vote wasn't used before the first time they faced eviction, the vote would count against them themselves.

At the first eviction it was revealed that the surviving nominee would receive a gift from the tree until further notice. Andrew S. received the first gift. At the end of the second week, the tree awarded Mike L. Instant HoH, making him the third head of household of the season. The reast of the house battled for immunity instead of the usual HoH competition. At the end of ther fourth week the tree gave Nathan D. his toughest challenge yet, if he failed to win the upcoming head of household competition, he would be nominated beside one of the HoH's nominees. As he failed, he became one of the pre-veto nominations.

Before the fifth eviction, it was announced that the tree of temptation was "heading for the chop" but not before it delivered one final gift to the entire house. It was revealed that the final givef was a surprise Instant Eviction. This marked the end of the twist for this season.
