## Twists

* **Team Twist**: On Day 1, All 16 house guests were brought into the backyard and were put into 4 different teams of 4 house guests each. *Team One*: Warriors of 6-1, *Team Two*: Team Commando, *Team Three*: Team Bantman, *Team Four*: Leaping Banana Shookers . The Teams lasted until Week 4.
* **Battle of the Block**: On Night 1 the house guests were informed of the season's second twist. With this twist in play, there would be 2 HoHs for the first 5 weeks of the game. Each HoH would nominate 2 house guests for eviction. After the nomination ceremony the nominees would all battle it out in the Battle of the Block competition and the winning duo would escape the block, earn safety for the week, and dethrone the HoH that nominated them.
* **Pandora's Box**: During Week 6, Kody, the HoH, was offered to go inside Pandora's Box but he declined, causing Gupta (the Week 7 HOH) receive the same offer. Gupta accepted, and he unleashed a 17th houseguest, Parker, on the house.
* **Triple Eviction**: At the Week 6 eviction, after Fluffy was evicted, the house guests played a weeks worth of Big Brother in one night. The HoH, Brady, got to name 3 nominees and, at the end of the week, 2 of them went home. Players that were safe and not on the block voted for the person they wanted to save.
* **Boiling Point Temptations**: During the Week 8 POV competition, houseguests were offered temptations in the form of advantages if they dropped out of the challenge.
	+ **Double Vote**: David eliminated himself in order to receive a second vote going into that week's eviction. He used both of his votes to evict Alec.
	+ **HOH Blocker**: Parker eliminated himself in order to receive the power to prevent another player from competing for HOH the following week. He used this power on Gupta.
* **OTEV Advantages**: Similar to Week 8, houseguests were able to find advantages in the game through the OTEV competition.
	+ **Vote Steal**: David found a vote steal, allowing him to prevent another player from voting and subsequently vote twice. He could only use it at the Week 9 eviction. He chose not to use it.
	+ **Vote Block**: Gupta found a vote block, allowing him to prevent another player from voting at the Week 9 eviction. He used it on Chase.
