Head of Household and Hand Grenade
As the two houses became one, on Day 68, Big Brother revealed to the housemates two new twists this season, the Head of Household and Hand Grenade twists. The Head of Household twist is similar to the twist of the second season of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition. Each week, the housemates will undergo HOH competitions. The HOH for the week will get the following privileges for winning:
- Immunity from nominations
- Use of shower room at any time
- Being able to receive items from the outside world that they desire
- Sending a text message to anyone at the outside world
A housemate will be chosen each week to become a hand grenade user, where they will be forced to give the full three points for nominations face-to-face to another housemate, as a consequence of losing in the HOH competition. Beginning the third HOH game, the hand grenade holder is given the alternative to automatically nominate themselves for eviction instead of giving all three points to another housemate.
For their final HOH competition in Day 111, Big Brother revealed that the final Head of Household will also be the Hand Grenade user, where the HOH will give an automatic nomination to one housemate.

In round two, the housemates were blindfolded and had to build a tower of domines. The housemate with the highest tower from the winning group will be the HOH while the housemate with the shortest tower will be the Hand Grenade User. |

Mechanical Bull Riding The housemates were to ride bulls in three different rounds. In round one, the housemates are to ride the bull with two hands. First four housemates with longest time will win. In round two, they are to ride the bull with two hands but the bull's speed gets faster to make it harder. First two housemates will then advance to round 3. In the final stage, the two remaining housemates cannot hold on to the bull. |

The housemate who correctly poured the slime on who they think that got the most votes from the survey gets a point and whoever had the most number of correct answer is the winner. |
