Warning: Spoilers Ahead
Unlike season 15, there would be two Head of House (HOH) winners in the new season. Previously, HOH was given immunity for a week but in the new format, there would be an activity called Battle of Block, where HOH could be evicted.
Furthermore, "Big Brother" season 16 is said to be patterned on the format of "Survivor: Blood vs Water". As per the reports, the contestants form a team which would involve in a battle with a team including their own family members.
Regarding the new rules of the show, executive producer Allison Grodner suggested in her interview that the rules have been introduced to keep things fresh.
"We're always looking to keep things fresh and the show has been on long enough that a lot of the people we cast are die-hard fans, which is fabulous — we love having people in the house who aspire to be the next Will, the next Dan, tor the next Janelle," Grodner said to Buzz Feed.
"What we wanted to do was keep them on their toes. We want to take any sort of preconceived strategy and turn it on its ear, so these game twists are both fun and ultimately necessary to do that. Everyone counts on that HOH for safety and this year, that's not for sure."
"Big Brother" season 16 premiered on June 25, at 8 pm on CBS.
