The Custodian challenge and the mystery card
The custodian challenge is a competition where housemates vie for a coveted title. The game will be played every Sunday after the live eviction show and it’s got other elements tied to it. The winning pair not only secures immunity for the week but also inherits the enigmatic mystery card. This card, shrouded in secrecy until Sunday's nomination show holds a power that could influence either nominations or evictions, adding a layer of suspense and strategy to the game.
Custodian challenge: Accepting the mystery or passing the torch
The custodians face a crucial decision during the Custodian Lock-In on Monday. They must choose whether to accept the responsibility that comes with the mystery card, embracing the unknown consequences it may bring. Alternatively, they can choose to transfer the title and the card to another pair, effectively altering the week.

Week 1: Ndi Nne (Chinne and Nne)
Head of House ballot
This season, instead of playing for the Heads of House title, housemates will have the power to bestow the privilege on their fellow housemates. This will happen via a ballot system.
The ballot system involves each pair selecting who will become the Heads of House by writing down their name on a tile and placing it in a box bearing the name of the pair they have selected. The pair with the highest tiles in their box becomes the new Heads of House.
The process starts with each pair entering the arena after they have all been gathered in the main lounge. While in the arena, Biggie instructs the housemates about the process of selecting the Heads of House. Each pair is informed that they will only be able to select other pairs aside from themselves. With this information, each pair is given two minutes to deliberate about which pair they would like to select as the Heads of House.
Once deliberations are done, the housemates pick a tile where they write the name of the pair they have agreed upon. After writing the name of their preferred pair, they must raise their hands to indicate that they have made their decision.
There will be boxes in the arena, each bearing the name of the pair in Big Brother's house. After writing the name of their desired pair, they will be told to walk to the ballot with their chosen candidate’s pair name to place the tile in the preferred box.
*The Heads of House will not have any immunity attached to their position this season.
