Big Brother 12

Twists

 * Returnees: It was annouced that 8 past houseguests would get the opportunity to compete once again.
 * House Division: The houseguest who won the final premiere competition would have to grant immunity to half of the house, leaving the other half to play in HoH and be nominated for eviction. The house was split into groups of eight, based on newbies and veterans.
 * BB App Store: Fans will go online and fill out a survey about the houseguests. The survey results will end with some houseguests trending more than others. The houseguests will enter the new "BB App Store" room and will be able to choose different powers and advantages or punishments. The apps are divided up into two different types of apps, "Power Apps" and "Crap Apps". Power apps are good for your game while crap apps are given as punished.
 * Hacker Competition: A new competition that was introduced for the first four weeks of the Jury stage of the game. The winner of this competition gains the ability to anonymously replace one of the two nominees selected by the HOH (however, they can choose not to), nullify one eviction vote, and select the player of their choosing to compete in the Veto competition.
 * Jury Battle Back: The first four Jurors competed against each other in order to win their way back into the house, as if they had never been evicted. This season, it was officially named the Jury Battle Back Competition.
