Although the rules remained basically the same, the 14 contestants chosen had all appeared in previous seasons of the show.

election of HouseGuests

On June 21, 2006, CBS aired a preview episode offering 20 former contestants from all six previous seasons as candidates for this season. The 20 finalists would be able to campaign for themselves on the internet to garner public support. After the preview show, internet voting opened to the public with the promise that the top six vote getters would enter the house and another six would be chosen by the producers. On the first episode, Julie Chen announced that due to the high volume of voting, CBS decided to admit the top four male and top four female vote-getters, as well as six producer-chosen contestants, raising the total cast from twelve to fourteen. The 20 finalists lined up outside the house and Julie announced the results, with the 14 selected HouseGuests entering the house immediately. The premiere episode scored 7.69 million viewers, down from last year's average for the show.

Broadcasts and features

Companion internet talk show House Calls returned for this season. Former co-anchor Marcellas Reynolds was a contestant this season, so co-anchor Gretchen Massey hosted the show with a new guest each week. Each Friday, the evicted HouseGuest appeared on the show. Similar to earlier seasons of the show, 24/7 feeds were available for a small fee [ [http://www.real.com/partners/bigbrother/?pcode=cbs&rsrc=cbs_bb7&cpath=CNT&opage=cbs_bb7_page Real SuperPass Big Brother feeds] Real] on CBS' webpage.

Additionally, a mobile package was introduced this season. Fans could text a code to a number displayed during the show to become "Mobile Pack" subscribers. For a small fee, they would receive daily video and text alerts about events in the house as well as exclusive "Diary Room" interview footage not available anywhere else. They also were able to download ringtones and wallpapers for their phones. This service, titled "Big Brother Goes Mobile." was an Emmy finalist for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Television.

The last remaining HouseGuest wins $500,000. The runner-up receives $50,000. It was also revealed after the finalists had been determined that a member of the Jury, as decided by America, will win an additional prize of $25,000, in a contest similar to .

The House

This year's house's theme is "A House of Extremes". There are large neon flames in the lounge, gothic design features such as gargoyles, and in one bedroom, there is a tarantula cage. For the first time, the house has a billiards table. Definitions of the words love, hate, alliance, trust, honesty, deceit and loyalty are printed on the walls. The house keeps last year's two-story idea, with a large Head of Household room whose decor changes with its occupant. The spy screen has also been saved, though there has not been much discussion of its use or usefulness. Famous "Big Brother" artifacts hang on the walls, such as Hardy's toothbrush, with which Shannon scrubbed the toilet in Season 2, the Power of Veto Marcellas did not use in season 3, the X-Factor statue from season 4, Howie's lightsaber from season 6, the shirt of the mime from season four, and the nomination keys of all the previous winners (a key for Eddie McGee was produced especially for the display because there were never any keys during the inaugural season).

Coup d'état

A new Coup d'état feature was announced at the end of the August 3 episode, in which HouseGuests can possibly take away the Head of Household power from the current holder by replacing his or her nominations at a moment's notice. The winner of this power, Mike Malin, only had 3 evictions to use it; however, he could not use it in the end, as he opted not to use the power for two weeks, and became the Head of Household the third week.

Highlights

Voting history

A record of the votes cast, stored in a voting-table, shows how each HouseGuest voted to evict throughout his or her time in the house. The Head of Household and the nominees are not allowed to vote, but in the event of a tie, the Head of Household will break it. Twists to the normal nominations process are noted, such as immunity from nomination and eviction (referred to as "exempt") and double evictions. The last seven evictees of the season are part of the Jury of "Big Brother 7: All Stars", who will then vote for the winner during the Finale.

fnb|1 During Week 1, there were two Heads of Household, Jase and Janelle. Both had to agree on two people to nominate for eviction. If the two Heads of Household failed to agree, they would be stripped of their duties and would become the nominees for eviction themselves. Janelle and Jase agreed to nominate Alison and Danielle.
fnb|2 During the fifth week's Head of Household competition, James won the right to nullify another HouseGuests eviction vote. He nullified Janelle's vote, which was a vote for James to be evicted. The official CBS site incorrectly lists Janelle and Danielle as voting for Kaysar. Janelle voted for James and Danielle had no vote as HoH.
fnb|3 On Day 39, after Kaysar's eviction, Erika won the live Head of Household competition. However, due to technical faults with some of the equipment, the competition was re-done later during the day. Janelle won the second HoH competition, and was therefore crowned Head of Household for Week 6.
fnb|4 During the sixth week, a HouseGuest could win the Coup d'Etat power - the right to overthrow the Head of Household and replace the nominations just before the vote. Mike won the power, which was good for one of the next three evictions, but it was never used.
fnb|5 The seventh week was revealed as a double-eviction week. On Day 46, after winning the HoH competition, George had to immediately make his nominations. The next day, Howie was evicted and Mike won the second HoH competition.
fnb|6 On Day 53, Julie Chen announced that two HouseGuests would be evicted on the same night (Day 60). However, this would be done differently from a normal "double eviction" week. The first person would be evicted after a normal week, then in one day there will be the Head of Household competition, nominations, veto competition, veto ceremony, and live voting.
fnb|7 On Day 60, Julie Chen announced that the coming Tuesday (Day 65) would feature a special live eviction episode. The final eviction was broadcast Thursday, September 7. [ [http://forums.jokersupdates.com/ubbthreads/gotothread.php?gotopost=4118155 JokersUpdates.com: BB News & Rumors - CBS Press Release, schedule of the next two evictions, etc ] ]
fnb|8 In the final week, the HoH is the only HouseGuest eligible to vote for eviction since the other two HouseGuests are up for eviction by default.
fnb|9 Votes in the finale are cast for the HouseGuests choice to win, not for who to evict. Only the last seven HouseGuests evicted can vote.
