House Rules 2 will premiere with a two-night event beginning June 22, 2016. It is expected to last 85 days and conclude with a live finale on September 14, 2016.

Contestants
The first group of eight contestants entered the house on Day 1. A second group of eight, known as the exes, entered the house on Day 2. They are listed in bold.

Summary
On Day 1, Bree, Cindy, Evan, Malcolm, Malika, Marco, Neil, and Stephanie entered the house. They competed in a special opening night competition for immunity. Marco won the competition, securing his safety for the first week. On Day 2, the "Battle of the Exes" twist was unleashed, when Alicia, Alison, Andrew, Chris, Howie, Jason, Kelsey and Leslie entered the house. The contestants then competed for Head of House, in pairs with their respective ex. Alison and Malcolm won the competition, becoming the first ever Co-Heads of House. They need to agree on their nominations or risk becoming the nominees for eviction themselves. On Day 3, the contestants without safety for the week were divided into three teams and competed to stay in the house. The losing team was forced to live in the "Out House" - with uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, cold showers and food restriction.
