## Twists

* **Relations with a Past Houseguest:** Derrick Wilkerson, Sophia Wilkerson's brother, will be competing.
* **Opening Night Gamble:** On the first night, the houseguests were informed of an opportunity to get an advantage in the game. Everyone who accepted would compete in a challenge, where the winner would earn an extra vote to cast at any given eviction ceremony. The last place finisher, however, would lose their vote for the first time they're eligible to vote.
	+ **Can't Compete in HOH:** Regardless of if a houseguest won or not, anybody who competed in the Opening Night Gamble would not be able to compete in the first HOH competition.
* **Roulette Nomination:** The day of the nomination ceremony, every houseguest that's not the HOH will go into the Diary Room and cast a vote for one person to nominate for eviction. After everyone casts their vote, the HOH will come out with a bag with all of the casted votes where they will randomly draw one name. That person would become the third nominee for the week. Once nominated by the Roulette twist, they cannot be nominated by the Roulette twist again, but can still be nominated by the HOH.
* **Instant Eviction:** On Week 6, an instant eviction took place, meaning no veto competition would play out and an eviction would occur only a day into the week.
* **Double Eviction:** On Week 8, a double eviction took place, meaning a whole week of gameplay would happen in less than an hour.
* **Fast Forward Week:** On Week 10, two weeks would be carried out. During the first half of the week, the Final Five round would commence with someone being evicted on Day 74. Then, the Final Four round would commence with someone being evicted on Day 77.

## Trivia

* Big Brother 8 is the first season where a relative of a previous houseguest competed on their own season.
* Big Brother 8 is the first season where more than two houseguests are nominated for eviction. In this case, three.
* Big Brother 8 is the first season to have the veto used during a week and not have a replacement nominee. This is because of the Roulette Nomination twist.
