## Twists

* **Safety Competition:** This is a new type of competition which allows the houseguests a chance to earn safety for the week. The winner of this competition will become immune, keeping them safe from being placed on the block. The winner is not allowed to compete in the Head of Household competition that follows. It lasts up until week seven and takes place before every Head of Household competition.
* **Project DNA: Do Not Assume:** There were two sets of relatives that may or may not know are playing together.

The two girls alternated shifts in the house, secretly switching places throughout the first five weeks. They were able to survive the first five evictions playing as Melana, so both twins entered the game and played as individuals.

 **Post-Veto NomineeEvicted6 Votes**

Fourteen new houseguests moved into the house, but unaware to the other players, three players would be involved in the first twist called Project DNA. Melana Espinoza would be playing with her twin sister, Raine Espinoza, as they would occasionally switch places in the house, playing as one houseguest until the end of week 5. If both twins survive until the end of Week 5, Raine would enter the game and they would play as separate houseguests. Aiken Wood and Ocean Wagner are unaware that they relative half-siblings. The houseguests were shocked that new Safety Competition would be taking place instead of the normal Head of Household competition. In "Locked Out", the houseguests would have to solve clues to open locks to doors leading to another room, Ocean, became the first one to free himself and the first player to win safety. Every player (exception of Ocean since he won safety) endured standing on an ice block in the Head of Household Competition "Ice Breaker" which crowned Trystan Valverde as the first HoH of the season. During the first week of the game, the house was split into two alliances The Destroyers and Lights Out. The Destroyers consisted of Karlos Reyes, Aiken, Zariya Fuentes, Jaclyn Stewart, Ocean, Irelynn Zhang and Haylee Ayala, and the Lights Out alliance consisting of Trystan, Parrish Nielsen, Bronx Reese, Melana, Layne Koval, Gabriele Alolo, and Wonder Tremblay. With Trystan being in control for his alliance, he set his sights on nominating Karlos and Zariya for eviction as pawns. He had the intention of backdooring Aiken, but after Aiken won the "Dizzy Dog" Power of Veto competition, he used his power to save Karlos, Trystan was forced to name a new nominee and a target for the week. Trystan nominated Jaclyn as the replacement nominee with the intention to remove Zariya from the house. On eviction night, Trystan's target changed for the final time to Jaclyn. With control of the numbers, Trystan and his alliance was successfully able to blindside Jaclyn and The Destroyers in a 6-5 vote.

Following Jaclyn's blindside, the houseguests participated in the second Safety Competition called "The Protector". They would use household props to protect their families from being soaked with water, Gabriele's family was splashed the least with water, earning her safety for the week. Everyone, excluding Trystan Valverde and Gabriele, answered questions about a break in that occurred in the house in the "Big Brother Break In" competition. Melana Espinoza, who was Raine Espinoza at the time, won Head of Household. Melana and her agreed that the best play for the week would be to backdoor Karlos Reyes, so she nominated Aiken Wood and Haylee Ayala as pawns for the week. Yet again, the HOH's plan was ruined when Karlos won the Power of Veto, returning the favor to Aiken by saving him from eviction. Melana was forced to make a replacement nominee, thus she nominated Irelynn Zhang based on her own relationship with her. Irelynn's newly formed alliance of the Triple Threat and Trendsetters, lead to Haylee's unanimous eviction.
