-Beginning of the week the housemates compete in the Head of Household task. The winner becomes HOH and gets luxuries such as a private bedroom, luxury food budget and personal items from home. The HOH also has to nominate two people for eviction. (the current HOH cannot compete in two HOH Comps in a row)

-The HOH reveals his/hers nominations and then a couple of days later six housemates compete in the Power of Veto competition. The six housemates that are eligible to compete are the HOH, the two nominees and three other housemates chosen at random.

-Who ever wins the POV has the power to take one of the nominees off of the chopping block. If a nominee is removed from the block then the HOH must name a replacement nominee (the POV winner cannot be nominated).

-Then at the end of the week the rest of the housemates (except the HOH) go to the Diary Room and cast their vote to evict. The nominee with the most votes is evicted.

-When it gets down to the last 9 housemates, every time a new housemate is evicted they become a member of the Big Brother Jury. They are sent to a sequester house, away from the outside world, they get to watch select footage of the house (competitions, nominations, evictions) but aren't allowed to see private conversations or Diary Room chats. When the Jury has it's 7 members they vote on who they want to win out of the final two housemates left in the BB house.

The twist this year is 'Soulmates' so the housemates will be competing in pairs, they'll play in the HOH comps together, they'll be nominated together and evicted together. (this is suspected only to last the first couple of weeks and then it will go into the original game where everybody plays individually)
