==Twists==
*Teams: The 16 players were divided into four teams representing four political parties: Bloc Quebecois, Conservatives, Liberals and NDP. Each week, the HoH's team members would be safe from eviction.
**Choose your Champion: On week 2, each team chose one representative to play in the HoH competition.

*Legally Binding Articles: Houseguests can create a Legally Binding Article with other houseguests in the form of deals that the host will enforce. Anybody who either creates or accepts an LBA earns an advantage in a competition of their choice. Only one person may use their advantage in any given competition. If two or more players attempt to use their advantage in the same competition, they become void and the houseguests lose it.
*Head of Household Changes: This season, the Head of Household's power was both increased and limited.
**Ken Jennings' Effect: The rule where the outgoing HOH can't play in an HOH competition was revoked, meaning houseguests had a chance to be Head of Household in multiple consecutive weeks.
**Tie-breaking vote: Unlike previous seasons, the HOH is not tasked with casting a vote in the event of a tie. Instead, a wheel is spun with all non-immune players, including the nominees. The player drawn is evicted.
***Audience's Vote: In order to increase the chances of a tie vote, viewers voted publically on the Facebook group for one of the nominees. This was the case only on weeks with an uneven pool of voters in the house.
***Hidden Immunity Idol: Clues to the location of a Hidden Immunity Idol were hidden for players to find. Unlike season 7, the hidden Immunity Idol provides immunity to a player on the tie-breaking wheel spin.
*Pringles Party: Each week, one or two houseguests would randomly be tempted to open one of twelve Pringles cans. Eight of the cans contain something good, and four something bad. If a tempted player failed to decide on a flavor, they would automatically be given one of the bad ones. If a tempted player refused the temptation, they remained ineligible to be drawn again.
**Coin Flip: Houseguests who accept the temptation and are drawn each week have a chance to earn a bonus prize in a coin flip.

Notes 	Notes 	     Members of the HoH's team earned safety each week. The team twist ended on week 7. Erica self-evicted on day 5. Since she was not a nominee, the week moved on as scheduled.	In weeks where the pool of voters is odd, the Audience publically votes for one of the nominees to receive an extra eviction vote.      Gina's PoV on week 2 was upgraded to a Diamond Power of Veto and she had the right to save a nominee and name a replacement herself.	None 	None 	None 	     Penny earned safety until Jury at the Pringles Party on week 6. Sean quit the game on day 42. Because he was one of the nominees, the eviction vote did not take place.	Penny originally won the HoH competition on week 7. However, Dustin played a colossal advantage that gave him the chance to steal the win if he correctly guessed the winner. Alex played his Key to the City advantage on week 7, effectively ending the teams twist.      Kurtis used the Coup D'Etat on day 49, effectively voiding Dustin's nominations and making his own. He decided to save both Alex and Jonathan and nominated Glo and Zachy in their place. Kurtis' nominations are marked in italics.      Daveyy, as the Power of Veto holder, was safe from Kurtis' nominations.	     Dustin originally won Head of Household, but Kurtis used his Emerald Power of Veto to reverse the results of the competition. At the random draw to choose a new winner, Dustin was picked and retained the power.	     Alex used his Fast Forward on week 9, thus he was safe for the week.      Daveyy used the Sapphire Power of Veto on week 9 to reverse Alex's decision not to play the Golden Power of Veto. He saved Penny from the block and Head of Household Gina nominated Zachy in her place.	The eviction vote on week 10 was originally a 2-2 tie between Daveyy and Jonathan. However, Gina switched her vote to Jonathan in order to avoid the wheel tiebreaker. The switched vote is marked in italics.	The eviction vote on day 75 was a 1-1 tie between Dustin and Penny. Since neither Gina nor Daveyy changed their vote, Dustin, Penny and Daveyy faced the wheel tiebreaker. The wheel landed on Penny, evicting her.      Gina, as the Power of Veto holder, was safe from the wheel tiebreaker.	     The Power of Veto at the final 4 is a Silver Power of Veto. In the event a nominee wins the veto, they cannot use it to save themselves.	None 	None
