Twin twist This season of Big Brother Greece introduced a twin twist like in the fifth and seventeenth season of the American version. The twist was that a set of twins were switching spots in the house, intending to make it to the first week. Christos Varouxis' twin brother, Panagiotis Varouxis enter the house in secret at the end of the premiere. The twins, Christos V. and Panagiotis, both played as Christos V. and would switch places at various times in the Captain room. Their secret mission is that they must make the other housemates thinking that they are one person. After one week, the twist was revealed to the other housemates and then the twins played together as a single Housemate. Since Week 5, Big Brother allowed them to play individually in the game.
Housemates On the first day, eighteen housemates entered the house. After the first week, two new housemates entered the house. On week 3, a new housemate entered the house.

Notes : Identical twins Christos V. and Panagiotis took turns playing as a single housemate during the first week for a secret mission. They secretly switched places between living inside the house and being in the Captain's Room. Both twins pretended to be Christos V.. On the first live eviction show on Day 8, the secret was revealed to the house and Panagiotis was allowed to live inside the house under his own identity. : Christina and Rania won the immunity challenge, therefore, were safe for the week. : Sofia received the veto for choosing the bed with the number 13. : On Day 10, Antonis was ejected from the house for making unacceptable disrespectful comments about rape. : The twin brothers Christos V. and Panagiotis nominated together.
