  6. ^ The Conspiracy Corner was introduced, where housemates could discuss who they want to nominate.
  7. ^ In week 8, instead of nominations, the Ultimate Veto Power Games were played, where the winning housemate and two other housemates of their choosing would be guaranteed a spot in the finale. The Conspiracy Corner was also removed.
