The Wall is a recurring endurance Head of Household, Re-Entry Competition and Nomination competition.

Rules[]

  1. A large wall is constructed, with a small platform for each houseguest to stand on. Depending on the season, the wall may also have fixtures which houseguests can hang onto.
  2. Houseguests must stay on the wall for as long as possible, while facing obstacles such as the wall tilting forwards, being blasted with cold water or slime, the platform under them moving, or being hit with large objects.
  3. Once a houseguest falls off the wall, they are eliminated from the competition. The last houseguest standing will become the new Head of Household.

Some seasons include a twist where balls are shot at the houseguests for them to catch. In these cases, the first houseguest to catch a certain number of balls, or the last houseguest to fall, wins Head of Household.
