Repechage

The first 3 evicted contestants would live in the apartment with 3 others first evicted from previous editions; they were Maite Galdeano (GH 16), Amor Romeira (GH 9) and María José Galera (GH 1). They had the mission of being advised how to improve their way through the competition. The voting public would decide the top ex-housemates to officially return to the Gran Hermano house as official housemates.

After Pablo walked from the ContraClub, this twist was cancelled and the three former housemates had to leave the house. The following evictions would happen as normal.

Finally, the public voting would decide the top ex-housemates to officially return to the Gran Hermano house as official housemates.The repechage was officially announced on Day 50 (October 27, 2016). All the evicted housemates (Pablo, Candelas, Montse and Fernando) were there. They are currently living in the Apartment (Secret Room or House 2).

Twists

Extra life box

On Day 1, when all the housemates entered, Jorge Javier told them each to take one of the 17 boxes that were introduced to them. One of these boxes contained an extra life which allowed an evicted housemate to return to the house immediately. Once an evicted housemate arrived at the studio, the box would be opened and he/she would find out if the extra life is inside. Each housemate had the option to keep their box or give it to another housemate.
