Big Seven

The Big Seven was the largest alliance from Big Brother 16. The alliance was the brainchild of Jared Upsdell and Pierre Valelly and was created in the first week of the season with the intent of taking control of the game early. By rallying five other housemates into the alliance, the Big Seven was able to control the first four evictions with ease. However, the Big Seven's future looked uncertain when George Knight and Sophie Hogarth bailed on the alliance in the third week after a barrage of attacks from Jared, Luna Rushton, and Louis Bryson. Though portions of the alliance would be picked off bit-by-bit, with Luna getting expelled, Louis getting evicted, and Jared leaving the alliance in the ninth week, Blair and Pierre managed to keep the attention off of them and they made it to the final two, with the latter winning the season by an 8-1 vote.
