Twists

• Secret Boss: One housemate voted upon by the public on launch night is tasked with the ability to nominate housemates for eviction, while also being immune for the first eviction. What the Secret Boss doesn't know is that the rest of their housemates already know who he is. The housemates must try to get nominated by the Secret Boss, and if they are nominated by him, they are immune from the first eviction.
• Eternal Nomination: One housemate voted upon by the house is put under the public vote every week until they are either evicted or reaches the finale.

Denied Housemate

• Beth Chapman, wife of Duane "Dog The Bounty Hunter" Chapman, was to be the sixteenth housemate, but at the airport, Beth's visa was denied by the UK and was unable to participate. This comes four years after Duane was to participate but was banned from the UK.

Tasks

• Biggins, as the Secret Boss, must nominate a few of his fellow housemates for eviction, and will be immune for the first eviction. What he doesn't know is that his housemates want him to nominate them. The housemates that Biggins nominates will be immune from the first eviction.
