Safety Ceremony is a twist to Nominations in Big Brother: Over The Top.
The Head of Household goes to his or her room alone. There, the HoH must select a specified number of people to be safe during the first Safety Ceremony. The houseguests that are not HoH are downstairs, wearing necklaces. When the HoH presses a button with their picture, the houseguest's necklace downstairs turns green, meaning they are safe. This process continues until the specified number is reached.
During the second ceremony, another number of houseguests will be saved and two people will have necklaces that did not change color. Those two houseguests have been nominated for eviction that week.
