## Theme

Season 4 is based on the visual novel/dating simulator game Blooming Panic. Depressed day-in and day-out from a draining corporate job, you become invested in a fantasy webnovel and find a mysterious link to a fan server. Everyone is warm and welcoming, but four members take a special interest in you!

## Twist

***Choose Your Route:*** ‘BLOOMING PANIC’ is a visual novel/dating simulator, where based on choices you make in game, it will determine things like whose route you end up getting, as well as what sort of ending you’ll get. To reflect this, for each week within the pre-jury portion of the game (the first 5 weeks), houseguests were all be presented with a choice between two options. Each option had unknown consequences in the game. Each week, the players voted on which choice they would like to see, and depending on what was chosen by the majority, a twist would be released into the game the following week.

The following choices were given to the houseguests, with the choice majority voted for in bold:

* *Week 1:* **PLAY FRIENDLY** or PLAY HARD? Play Friendly was chosen, which resulted in *Duos Week*. Houseguests were paired together by randomisation, creating 7 duos. The HOH had to nominate 1 duo for eviction. If veto was used, then another duo would need to be chosen as a renomination. Whichever duo was left on the block following the POV ceremony would be the final nominees for the week.
* *Week 2:* **STEP OUT** or STAY HIDDEN? Step Out meant it became *Spotlight Week*. Eviction votes were public, as well as some other points of exposure throughout the week.
* *Week 3:* COME TOGETHER or **TEMPT FATE**? Tempt Fate put the house into *Backwards Week*. Everything happened in reverse order this week. First, the houseguests all had to vote for 2 people to be nominated, the 2 people who recieved the most votes became the initial nominees. Then the POV competition took place with the two nominees and 4 people selected by random draw. If veto was used, then the house would need to vote for a replacement. Finally, the HOH competition occured, and the winner would receive the sole vote to evict one of the final nominees.
* *Week 4:* **TRUST YOUR PEERS** or KNOW YOUR RANK? Trust Your Peers turned the normal Big Brother game into a *Safety Chain.* Instead of traditional nominees, the players that are safe this week would be determined by a "safety chain". The winner of the 'HOH' safety competition passes down safety to another player, who passes it to another player, until two people remain, forming the initial nominees. If POV was used, the safety chain would be used to determine the replacement nominee.
* *Week 5:* **HIDE** or SEEK? Hide resulted in *Dark Week.* The HOH winner, POV winner and vote counts this week were anonymous.
* *Week 6:* **TRY A NEW SAVE?** On week 6, to mark the end of the pre-jury period, players were faced with an additional choice, called "Try A New Save". This allowed them to vote for one of the five previously rejected option. The choice that had the highest average vote amongst all houseguests was **COME TOGETHER**.
