Big Brother 3 (U.S.)
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 vote for a winner. In Season 2, Justin was not allowed to do so, 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.
Runner-Up Danielle Reyes and fellow HouseGuest Marcellas Reynolds returned to compete in Big Brother 7: All-Stars, where they placed 6th and 9th respectively. Winner Lisa Donahue was a candidate to return for Big Brother: All Stars, but was ultimately not selected to return. HouseGuest Amy returned that season as well to do a segment on her former friendship with Marcellas. She later returned for Big Brother 10 for a food competition featuring a representative from each season.

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or brother:
“It is possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“It’s perversion. Don’t you see what it is? It’s not natural. To go to great expense for something you want, that’s natural. To reach out to take it, that’s human, that’s natural. But to get your pleasure from not taking, from cheating yourself deliberately like my brother did today, from not getting, from not taking. Don’t you see what a black thing that is for a man to do? How it is to hate yourself?”
—Abraham Polonsky (b. 1910)
