The 8 champion housemates were revealed on 10 December 2024,^[3] while the 8 new recrues where revealed on 12 January 2024 before the premiere.^[4]

• ^1 : During Week 1, the Boss of the House competition was played in pairs, with the winning pair becoming Co-HOHs. The two HOHs had to agree to nominate two people together. If a consensus was not reached, the two HOHs would instead become the two nominees.
• ^2 : Every week, there are tasks that cause one houseguest to either lose their vote or gain an additional vote.
• ^3 : During Week 2, Sinem won an extra vote.
• ^4 :   On Day 15, there was a Double Eviction. However, unlike normal double evictions, the evictee was determined by a "Chain of Safety" selection process. Beginning with Frédérique, the winner of the first immunity challenge, each housemate had to select another housemate to save until one person was left unselected, who would then become nominated. This was followed by a second safety chain, beginning with Coco, the winner of the second immunity challenge, with the second housemate left unselected also being nominated. The two nominees had to compete against each other in a head-to-head duel to determine who was eliminated.
• ^5 :   As the winner of the duel, Fabiola was immune this week.
• ^6 :   Coco used her Crystals to get "The Bloc" power up giving her the ability to veto one nominee from eviction or granting them the ability to add a third nominee. She chose to veto Liliane.
• ^7 : During Week 4, Simon lost his vote to evict.
• ^8 : Following Valérie's eviction, the HouseGuests were split into two groups of five that had no interaction for the entire week. One group would live in the main house while the other group would live in "The Camp." A full week of events played out for each group, with their own competitions, nominations, and evictions.
• ^9 :   Frédérique used her Crystals to get "The Boss" power up giving her the ability to either extend the powers of the Boss of the House for another week or to strip the Boss of the House of their powers. She chose to strip Fabiola's power giving her the power instead.
• ^10 : During Week 6, Liliane won an extra vote.
• ^11 : Jean-Thomas was nominated by the Temple of Crystals.
• ^12 : During Week 7, the evictee had the opportunity to compete in a challenge. If they successfully did so, they would re-enter the game as a housemate and receive immunity for the following week. However, if they lost, they would be permanently evicted. Jean-Thomas won re-entry into the competition.
• ^13 : During Week 8, Coco won an extra vote.
• ^14 :   Week 9 was the "invisible week", featuring both an Invisible HOH, Invisible Veto and Invisible Storm.
• ^15 : During Week 9, Sinem lost her vote to evict.
• ^16 : In the last 3 weeks of the game, the format was completely revamped:
  • Instead of the Head of Household deciding the two nominees, the housemates played in two Block Challenges. The housemate who finished in last would be automatically nominated.
  •   Instead of playing in the Golden Power of Veto competition, the housemates compete for the Diamond Power of Veto. The holder would have the power to save one of the nominees and determine the replacement themselves.
  • During the Final 4, the two nominees that end up on the block at the end of the week were instantly evicted. The Diamond Power of Veto holder and one person of their choosing would both be in the finale.
• ^17 :   The winner of the Diamond Power of Veto was ineligible to vote to evict.
• ^18 : As the winner of Diamond Power of Veto in Week 12, Frédérique was the only person eligible to vote.
• ^19 : The Jury voted for the winner of Big Brother Célébrités: Champions vs. Recrues.
