Twists

• Partnership with Maya: Maya has partnered with Pinoy Big Brother to serve as the season's official finance and voting partner, with the following twists inserted into the season:
• * Save or Spend Weekly Task: In the event that the housemates win their weekly task beginning in Week 2, they will be able to manage their weekly budget, which will be deposited through Maya. If they succeed in their weekly task, they will receive ₱15,000. Housemates have two options: they can spend a portion of their weekly budget for the week or save it and watch it grow with an interest rate of up to 15%.
• * Vote to Save-Evict: This season, voting will be done entirely through the Maya app, as opposed to the two platforms that were used in the previous seasons, namely Connect and Kumunity 10. To vote, viewers must first create a Maya account, verify their account, and have enough funds to vote. Viewers can cast 10, 50, or 110 votes to save or evict a housemate of their choice from eviction. Viewers have only 15 chances to vote each day, which will be reset at midnight. This method was eventually discontinued after the seventh eviction round due to widespread and violent use of the vote-to-evict against several housemates, and it was replaced solely by the vote-to-save beginning with the eighth nomination round.
• * Unlimited Voting: Carried over from the previous season, unlimited voting was re-introduced as a twist during the open voting held on Day 86 to determine the Big 4 up to the Big Night again to determine the season's winner. Unlike the usual 15-votes-per-user-per-day limit in previous eviction rounds, viewers could now vote as many times as they wished during the open voting period and the finale.
• Two-in-one housemates: This season featured two sets of two-in-one housemates. This is the third season to feature more than one two-in-one housemates compete after the second celebrity season and Double Up.
• * On Day 1, Dingdong Bahan and Patrick Ramirez, who are a couple, were introduced as two-in-one housemates. As part of a challenge, Big Brother only allowed one of them to enter the house on launch night. During their first week together, they were assigned different tasks and told to keep their relationship a secret until later. They accomplished this and were able to keep their status as a two-in-one housemate.
• * On Day 34, Joli Alferez and Gwen Montano, who had previously been considered separate housemates and entered the house on Days 24 and 33, were turned into a two-in-one housemate by Big Brother due to their "situationship" in the outside world. Both completed separate tasks to become official housemates, eventually becoming the next set of two-in-one housemates competing.
• Eleven "official housemate" slots: On Day 1, Big Brother revealed to the housemates that they were only referred to as "houseguests," but in reality, they are all housemates. Big Brother then revealed eleven "official housemate" positions for the "houseguests" to fill throughout the week. Three voting rounds were held to determine the "housemates," and those who were not chosen were at risk of being included on the list of nominees for the first eviction. This challenge put the housemates' integrity with one another, as well as their commitment and willingness to stay in the house, to the test.
• Intruders: More housemates entered the house in the coming weeks, beginning on Day 16.
• * Two In, Two Out: On the second and third evictions, two housemates were evicted at the same time, while two new housemates entered and took their places after the eviction.
• Big Brother's Gameroom and the new eviction process: Instead of the usual announcements in the living area, this season's eviction callout will be a head-to-head, with two nominated housemates entering Big Brother's Gameroom and Bianca announcing the results. In the event that there are even-numbered or more than three nominees, the first safe will be named in the living area before the two nominees are determined, after which they will proceed to the Gameroom, where one will be saved and will return to the house and the other will be evicted. Still, each week, the nominees will be announced in the living area.
• Teens vs. Adults: On Week 8, the teens and adults were divided into separate groups. While the nominees remained undisclosed to the housemates, the public was informed on Day 53, with voting continuing as usual. The housemates received clues in the living area, leading them to a box containing a list of nominees sealed in an envelope. Both groups faced challenges designed to test their camaraderie, and members were not allowed to communicate with one another until further notice.
• LigTask Challenge: Initial nominees compete in a challenge for a chance to save themselves from being up for eviction.
• House Challengers: Evicted housemates returned to the house as "house challengers" to create conflict and chaos, serving as a test for the remaining housemates while also helping the public decide who deserves a spot in the Big Four. The house challengers included Therese Villamor, former two-in-one housemates Dingdong Bahan and Patrick Ramirez, Jas Dudley-Scales, and Jarren Garcia, who was evicted on Day 71 after receiving the fewest public votes during the 9th eviction night. Big Brother then offered Jarren the challenge of becoming a house challenger, which he immediately accepted.
• * House Challenges: The housemates and house challengers faced a series of challenges that may or may not have an impact on who stays and who leaves the house, and those housemates who faced the challenges risked losing their housemate status to them.
• Rank-Based Nominations: In Week 12, the six remaining housemates ranked themselves from the most deserving to the least deserving to be the season's Big Winner, with the most deserving receiving one point and the least deserving receiving six points. This twist was last used in the Connect season.
• The Big Payanig : On Day 78, Big Brother revealed three major twists that will take place inside the house to put the remaining housemates to the test as the finale approaches.
• * The Big Lie: A mental twist which tests the housemates by bridging the lines between reality and deceit, putting their understanding of truth into question.
• * The Big Love: A emotional twist that examines the housemates' feelings and pushes their hearts to their boundaries.
• * The Big Task: The ultimate twist to help viewers select the one who deserves the title of Big Winner.
• Madam, Big Brother's AI Assistant: On Day 94, Big Brother introduced "Madam," an artificial intelligence assistant whose official role was to "assist Big Brother with his daily tasks." However, Madam's true purpose was to sabotage the housemates by revealing their true personalities. This was part of the "Big Task" twist within the broader "Big Payanig" twist.
