Twists[]
- Mystery Box: On Day 15, a Mystery Box appeared in the Celebrity Big Brother House. To open it, housemates were given an equation and had to find the correct answer. If they answer incorrectly, they would be unable to make any more guesses. Camille was able to guess the number correctly and she was awarded a Power of Veto to use on one of the nominees. With this, she also earned Immunity and was not able to compete in the Power of Veto competition.
- Red Week: Week 6 was called the "Red Week," when the Head of Household would have to nominate three housemates, the power of veto was required to be used, and two housemates would be leaving the house. Additionally, each housemate eligible to vote will be required to cast two votes, for different nominees.
- Mystery Boxes: During Week 7, several mystery boxes showed up, rewarding players with an advantage for the next HOH challenge. This exact nature and purpose of the won advantages remained cryptic until the HOH challenge and doubled as clues to what the HOH challenge would entail (which ended up being having to melt a block of ice to get to the HOH key). The advantages were not tradeable.
- The first box was a team quiz where two teams were presented with an AI-generated picture of what a child of two of the housemates would look like and the teams had to guess which two housemates would have been the parents. The winning team had to designate a single member to be the winner of the advantage. The advantage was an electrical extension cord with a label bearing the number five.
- The second box was an individual word riddle, with the first housemate giving the right answer in the confessional winning the advantage, which was a pair of mittens.
- The third box necessitated a roundtable discussion amongst the housemates, which had to result in unanimous consensus as to whom should win this advantage; the advantage was a mason jar containing seven matches.
- Redemption: At the start of Week 8, it was announced that for upcoming evictions, evicted housemates would be given a chance to compete in a Redemption challenge to be re-admitted fully into the house and also win immunity for the upcoming week. During the week a pixelated image was shown to housemates to give hints as to what the redemption challenge would entail.
- The redemption challenge for Weeks 8 and 9 involved replaying the Week 1 HOH challenge and trying to get a better time that the original winner. The Week 8 evictee declined to attempte redemption, and the Week 9 evictee tried and failed to win redemption.
- The Week 10 redemption challenge was a replay of the Week 5 HOH challenge; the evicted housemate won redemption by getting a better time, they were readmitted in the house, won immunity for Week 11, and ALSO won a Gold Bar (see lower)
- The Week 11 redemption challenge was a replay of the Week 9 HOH challenge; the evicted housemate failed to succeed at redemption by getting a better time, thus their eviction was confirmed. This was confirmed to have been the last redemption opportunity.
- Gold Rush: At the start of Week 10, a Gold Rush was announced. The housemates will be acquiring Gold Bars over the next few weeks, with the first to 4 Gold Bars being awarded a guarantee to be one of the three finalists. Gold Bars can be won from any activity, ceremony, challenge. Gold Bars cannot be traded or given.
- The first and second Gold Bars were awarded, one each, to the two housemates nominated for Week 10.
- A third Gold Bar was awarded to the Week 10 veto winner (conditional to them actually using the veto)
- A fourth Gold Bar was awarded to the Week 10 evictee upon winning the Redemption challenge (see above)
- The Week 11 HOH winner was tasked with awarding the fifth Gold Bar to a player of his choice.
- The sixth and seventh Gold bars were awarded, one each, to the two housemates nominated for Week 11.
- The Week 11 veto winner was tasked with awarding the eighth Gold Bar to a player of his choice.
- A Gold Bar was up for grabs during the Week 11 redemption challenge but was not won.
- At the start of Week 12, the ninth Gold Bar was awarded after a math riddle presented to the housemates.

Week 1[]
15 celebrities from Quebec entered the house. In the first twist of the season three houseguests had to sit out from the competition. Geneviève, Jean Thomas, and Emmanuel chose to sit. The two last houseguests hanging were Marie-Chantal and Francois, the three houseguests who sat out chose Francois to be the first Head of Household. Before nomination, an alliance called "The Penne" was created between Laurence, Varda, Rita, Maxime, and Francois. At the nomination ceremony, Francois nominated his ex, Marie-Chantal, and Claude for eviction. At the first veto competition, Marie-Chantal won. The house tried to convince her not use it because she was the target. Fearing she would use it, Geneviève agreed to go up as a pawn. Marie-Chantal saved herself with the veto, with Francois naming Geneviève as the replacement nominee. Though the house was prepared to vote out Claude, Geneviève's poor social game ultimately caused the house to flip on her, and she became the first celebrity evicted.
Week 2[]
Following Geneviève's eviction, the houseguests competed for Head of Household. Emmanuel won his first Head of Household competition. Before nominations, a new alliance called "L´Empire" with Kevin, Camille, Francois, Emmanuel, Lysandre, Claude, Jean Thomas, Kim and Marie-Chantal formed. After attempting to flip the votes to keep Geneviève last week, Laurence tried to keep herself off the block. At the nomination ceremony, Emmanuel nominated Laurence and Kevin as the pawn. At the "OTEV" veto competition, Richardson came out victorious. Laurence attempted to sway him to use the veto on herself. At the Power of Veto ceremony, Richardson didn't use it. Despite a harsh campaign from Laurence, she was evicted by a 7-4 vote, only receiving the votes of her alliance.
Week 3[]
Following Laurence's eviction, Claude won his first Head of Household competition. Lysandre and Claude formed the first showmance of the season and a flirtmance was formed between Camille and Kevin. At the nomination ceremony, he nominated the Varda and Marie-Chantal, as the two had become close. Before the veto, a math challenge was offered to the houseguests to win a secret veto for one week, in which Camille was victorious. At the veto competition Francois won his second challenge. He chose to leave the nominations the same. At night, an intoxicated Marie-Chantal was seen saying multiple inappropriate comments. After the accusations, she chose to walk from the game, cancelling the eviction for the week.
Week 4[]
Following Marie-Chantal's departure, Emmanuel won HOH for the second time. With the majority alliance cracking, Emmanuel wanted to blindside Lysandre at the eviction. To put the plan in motion he nominated one person from the other side with his target, Lysandre. At the veto competition however, Lysandre came out victorious. With everyone thinking that Rita was the target, Camille offered herself up to be the pawn. Moments before the live eviction, a lie spread about Rita targeting Kevin and Francois was spread by Camille, putting fear in the majority side. At the live eviction Rita was evicted, only receiving the votes of her alliance.
Week 5[]
Following Rita's eviction, Lysandre won HOH. Though “The Penne" alliance was outnumbered, Lysandre was set to send a male out of the house. To get the numbers to evict Emmanuel, she formed “The Valentin” alliance with Richardson, Camille, Kim, Varda and Maxime. At the nomination ceremony, she put up Emmanuel as the target and Varda as the pawn. At “The Black Box” veto, Lysandre won and she decided to not use it. Though Emmanuel was set to depart, Varda decided to walk from the game after struggling mentally.
