Season chronology

Following this season, a special spin-off series titled Gran Hermano 12+1: La Re-vuelta, which saw most of the 12+1 Housemates return to the house only days following the finale of the regular series. This new series saw the Housemates themselves vote each other off, with the evicted Housemates voting for the winner.

In the 2016 season Gran Hermano VIP 4, Daniel returned to the house.

Housemates

The motto of the edition is Turn it over, with that they try "to open a door for the hope", in these times of crisis. In addition, it wanted to turn to the origins, with an alone house and fewer competitors. In this thirteenth edition it returned to modify the logo, that this time was consisting of the sum of all the eyes of the competitors.

Without losing the classic style of Gran Hermano, the edition 12+1 came loaded from innovations. Mercedes Milá announced in the show that, across eBay, everything the one that should want to compete might offer a quantity of money to buy a square in the house and turn into the "competitor + 1" of every week. All the benefits that were obtained would be destined entirely to Red Cross, which would help, across a specific project, the persons more duramente punished by the crisis.

The competitors expelled before Mary Joy, were expelled in a soundproof cabin of Telecinco's set.

Twists

• The "+1 contestant": During the first weeks, a new housemate is added to the original line-up each week so that the number of housemates remains 12+1. Each "+1 contestant" is selected in a different way:
  • Week 1: Sindia, who was told she was a back-up contestant, is surprised live on the street and given the chance to join the house immediately.
  • Week 2: Three back-up contestants compete in a hitchhiking race from the central studio to the house. Verónica arrives first and enters the house.
  • Week 3: A spot in the house is sold through an eBay auction that is open for a week. Arístides wins the auction at €69,100.
  • Week 4: Marta, a back-up contestant, is surprised live at her house and given the chance to join the house immediately.
  • Week 5: María enters the house with a secret mission related to the weekly challenge.
  • Week 6: Cristian enters the house with a secret mission related to the weekly nominations.
  • Week 7: An open call is made for potential contestants from provinces of Spain that have never been represented by a housemate on Gran Hermano history. Daniel is from Burgos, a Spanish province which was never represented in Gran Hermano.
• The soundproof room: A cristal soundproof room is installed at the central studio. The first three weeks, the two contestants that were leading the televote for eviction were taken on a van from the eviction room to the soundproof room. There, they were briefly interviewed by the host and could see the reasons given by their housemates to nominate them, so that they could defend themselves while the televoting lines were open. The non-evicted housemate was taken back to the house. From Week 16, the nominees chosen by the audience to become a finalist are taken to the soundproof room to be interviewed, thinking that they have been evicted. After the interview they are taken back to a secret room in the house.
• The Mouth of Wishes: The contestants can ask the Mouth of Wishes for anything, proposing a counterweight for it. The Mouth can accept the deal or not. Each contestant can make just one wish during the contest.
• "Turn It Over": From Week 16, when there are six contestants left, the audience votes for the nominee they want to become a finalist. While the finalist is taken to a secret room in the house, the contestants remaining at the original house are unaware of the situation, thinking their fellow housemate has been evicted and that they are themselves closer to the final.
• The "+1 winner": The contestants chosen to become finalists from week 16 are given the chance to choose a formerly evicted housemate to be their partner in the secret room. The companion of the winner will become the "+1 winner", receiving a secondary prize of €20,000.
• "Gran Hermano: La Re-vuelta": after the final night, 16 of 22 housemates of Gran Hermano 12+1 will re-enter the house for a new flash edition, in which they could solve or not their suspended accounts. The details are still to be discovered but the reward will be €20,000.
