Summer of Secrets

The Summer of Secrets is the main twist of Big Brother 17. With this twist, each of the 16 original housemates had a secret that they must keep concealed from the rest of the house. Every week, before the nomination ceremony takes place, a housemate may wish to guess which secret a housemate has. Correctly matching a housemate with their actual secret will result in the guessing housemate earning immunity from eviction, with the outed housemate being nominated. However, if the guesser fails to to match a housemate with their secret, the former is nominated instead. Housemates would have the chance to figure out more information about a housemate's secret through the Secret Clue Challenge held the day before the nomination ceremony.
