The 2 houseguests with the most nominations would be nominated. Then the HouseGuest competed in the PoV competition. If the POV is used, a second House Vote would have been held to name a replacement nominee. Finally, the HouseGuests (excluding the outgoing HoH and the nominees) competed in the HoH competition, with that HoH having the power to evict either nominee at the Eviction.

	Fake Double Eviciton		In Week 2, the week concluded with a Fake Double Eviction, with the two evicted houseguests of the night facing off in a head to head Re-Entry Competition, where one would immediately return to the game, while the other was permanently evicted, all in one night.
32	Team		For the first time ever, the houseguests were split into teams. Two teams of 10 were formed; Team Infinity and Team Beyond. A Competition determined the team captains. The Captains had to choose their teams on Night 1, and in return they were granted safety for the first week. Whoever wins the HOH grants their entire team safety for the week as well, meaning they can only nominate and ultimately evict members of the opposing team. The team twist lasted for the first two weeks of the game, and was abolished at the beginning of the third week.
	Invisible HoH		In Week 5, the HOH was Invisible, meaning that no one else knew who was HOH except for that person, but they were allowed to tell people if they wanted to do so. Since no one knew who the HOH was, they were allowed to compete in the following HOH Competition, but still could not cast an eviction vote that week.
33	House of Love	Couples	Instead as playing as individuals, the 20 Houseguests were paired off based off of compatibility forms during their audition progress. They would win and hold the title of Head of Household together, win and use the vetos together, be nominated together, and be evicted together. This twist was abandoned shortly after the third eviction, where the previously evicted couples couples competed to return individually.
34	Chain of Safety		For the first week of the game, the head of household did not nominate 2 houseguests for eviction. Instead the nominations was determined by a "Chain of Safety" selection process. Beginning with the Head of Household, each HouseGuest would select another HouseGuest to save until three are left unselected, who would then compete for safety in a second challenge to determine that night's second set of nominees.
	Invisible POV		During Week 4, the Invisible HOH twist from Season 32 returned, and this time the POV competition results were also kept anonymous as well.
