Some context as to why Brian is chained in the Dog House room:
- Brian and his ex-girlfriend, Caroline(?), continued to bicker about their relationship.
- Production announces a new "beef" event where anyone can ring the bell in the Dog House room if they have a "beef" with another Fish.
- The conflicting parties must settle their beef via a competition, the loser of which must be chained in the doghouse and stay there for a predetermined number of house. This
plastic chain affixes to the Fish's neck with a collar. The chain is designed to be breakable, if the chained Fish breaks it under non-emergency conditions they will be kicked off the show. Additionally, the Winner of the competition must treat the loser like their dog, so walks to the bathroom are permitted (on all fours).
Brian and Caroline's beef competition was that they both must find a Fish of the opposite sex who would consent to a kiss with them. None of the uninvolved Fish were aware of this specific competition stipulation. Whoever does this first will win the beef. Suffice to say, Caroline won by asking Shinji to kiss her. Unknown to everyone at first, Goldstriker instructed Trisha (the
only remaining female who would possibly kiss Brian) to refuse a kiss from Brian, cementing Brian's loss before he knew it. Brian spent the night chained in the doghouse, Caroline later spent about an ~hour arguing with Brian in the doghouse until Vance came up and told them to stop.
