Big Brother 5

## Twists/Changes

* **Relations with a Past Houseguest:** Two houseguest competing this season are related to houseguest from previous seasons. Kate Wallace is related to Ashley Burdine from *Big Brother 2*. Harper Genie is the aunt of *Big Brother 3* Contestant, Lauren Dean
* **Returning Players:** Four fan-favorite HouseGuests from past seasons, Donovan Russo from *Big Brother 1*, Kaz Gao Zho from *Big Brother 2*, Jenna Corazon from *Big Brother 3*, and Tommie Sharpe from *Big Brother 4* returned to compete against new HouseGuests.
* **Teams:** HouseGuests are divided into teams of four with one returning HouseGuest on each team. Each week, the Head of Household's teammates were safe from eviction. The Teams Twist ended on Week 7 along with the Roadkill Competition.
* **Premiere Competitions**: The first competition starts almost immediately on premiere night with three challenges. The houseguests were divided into teams for the competition. The two team that win each competitions would advance to the final Immunity Competition. The winner of the final competition would be immune for the first week of the competition and would decide for one person from the second place team to receive immunity.
* **Roadkill Competition:** Similar to the MVP twist from *Big Brother 15*, each week the HouseGuests competed in the Roadkill Competition. The winner of this competition was privately informed of their victory and received the power to name a third nominee for eviction anonymously. If the Power of Veto winner took the "Roadkill Nominee" off of the block, the Roadkill winner would secretly name a replacement nominee. The Roadkill Competition ended on Week 7 along with the Teams Twist.
* **Everyone Plays:** Everyone would compete in the POV competition even if they win previous competition.
* **Battle-Back Competition:** The first seven evicted HouseGuests competed against each other for the opportunity to re-enter the house. Glenn Garcia and Jozea Flores faced off in the first competition which Jozea won. Jozea then faced Victor Arroyo in the second competition which Victor won. With Jozea defeated, Victor faced Bronte D'Acquisto in the third competition which Victor won once again. Finally, Victor faced Tiffany Rousso in the last competition. Victor ultimately won and re-entered the house as the Battle Back Champion.
* **Twin Twist:** HouseGuest Mateo Rodriguez has a identical twin, Kyler Rodriguez. The two guys alternated shifts in the house, secretly switching places throughout the pre-jury. They survived the first six evictions playing as Mateo, so both twins entered the game and played as individuals.
* **Safety Competition:** Throughout the jury phase, every week everyone would compete secretly in the Safety Competition.
