The twelfth season of the Argentine version of the television reality show Gran Hermano was announced on 3 July 2024 by Telefe, with Santiago del Moro continuing as the show's host.

The show follows a group of contestants (known as HouseGuests), who live in a house together while being constantly filmed and having no communication with the outside world as they compete to win a grand prize. Each week, the HouseGuests compete in a Head of Household (HoH) competition which gives them immunity from nominations and the power to save one of the nominees up for eviction. On eviction night, the audience votes to evict one of the nominees.

The season premiered on 2 December 2024. It is the third continuous season to air on Telefe after making its return to the network in 2022.

Format

The show follows a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests, who live inside a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. The HouseGuests are sequestered with no contact with the outside world. During their stay, the HouseGuests share their thoughts on their day-to-day lives inside the house in a private room known as the Diary Room. Each week, the HouseGuests compete in competitions to win power and safety inside the house. At the start of each week, the HouseGuests compete in a Head of Household (abbreviated as "HOH") competition. The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and selects another HouseGuest to be saved for eviction. On eviction night, the audience vote to evict one of the nominees, and the nominee with the most votes is evicted from the house.

Format changes and additions

Head of Household Super Powers

Beginning this season, the HouseGuest that wins the HoH competition, gets series of Super Powers to use during the week.

The Voided Votes

From week 2 onwards, the last evicted HouseGuest has the power to void any of the remaining HouseGuests' votes before they nominate in the Nominations Gala.

The Kiosk

This season, Gran Hermano installed a kiosk where HouseGuests can use Golden Tickets to redeem special prizes.

Red Phone

Starting in Week 6, Gran Hermano enabled the red phone. Whoever answered the phone would receive positive or negative information. The HouseGuests must answer the phone without being able to repeat it during the day and if the phone is not answered before five rings the whole house would be punished.

Repechage

In Week 6, after Andrea walked from the game due to health reasons, it was announced that a repechage would take place among the first seven evictees during Week 7. As Keila was ejected from the game, she was ineligible to take part in the repechage.

HouseGuests

A total of 24 HouseGuests moved into the house on Day 1 (2 December 2024), making it the season with the highest number of newcomers that join the house in the first episode. Former evicted HouseGuest Brian Alberto returned to the house on Day 35 (5 January 2025), and on Day 36 (6 Jaunary 2025) it was announced that new HouseGuest Katia Fenocchio would enter the house as a replacement. Another evicted HouseGuest (Jenifer Lauría) returned to on Day 43 (13 January 2025).

Episodes

Voting history

HouseGuests nominate for two and one points, shown in descending order in the nomination box. The four or more HouseGuests with the most nomination points face the public vote.

HouseGuests can also use the Diary Room's Special Nomination, which gives three and two points instead.

From week 2 onwards, the last evicted HouseGuest has the power to void any one's nominations before they nominate in the Nominations Gala.
