There are a number of twists this season:
Twist One: is a series’ first; instead of two Houseguests being nominated each week for eviction, as in past seasons, contestants will nominate three. This process will be further explained during the season premiere.

Twist Two: BIG BROTHER viewers will play a crucial role in the game by casting votes for the Houseguest they feel is playing the best game. The Houseguest who receives the most votes will be anointed that week’s, “Big Brother MVP.” The full scope of the MVP’s secret power will be revealed during the season premiere.

Julie Chen will be back to host this season.  You can get all your Big Brother 15 updates here.
