Big Brother 8

## Series Chronology

***Big Brother 8*** is the eighth season of Richie's Big Brother, which premiered on November 5, 2020, and ended on December 6, 2020.

After 32 days, RYDER was crowned the winner over LIBBY in a 5-4 Jury vote. Ryder was a very big competition threat and one of the Vampires, he lied his way out of situations and went home week 5. After returning to the game Week 9 Ryder simply won everything possible except 1 POV on his HOH. The reason why he almost lost the game was because the Jury did not entirely respect his dirty game, him being evicted once already, and the belief his game was strictly physical. Libby played very social and UTR but some members in the Jury thought she was mostly a goat and it wouldn't be fair to vote her the winner over Ryder.

## **PRODUCTION**

Each "week" (a cycle of 2-3 days) the houseguests compete for the title of Head of Household. The HOH must take on the responsibility of nominating two houseguests for eviction. The winner of the Power of Veto then has the ability to save one of the two nominees, forcing the HOH to name a replacement nominee, or they may choose not to use it. The final two nominees on the block at the end of each week must then face the votes of all their fellow housemates, excluding the HOH. The person with the most votes is evicted, with the HoH making the final decision in the event of a tie. Once only the final two houseguests remain, a jury of previously evicted houseguests cast their votes to decide the winner of *Big Brother*.

The season did take a small break a few days prior to Thanksgiving and resumed after the holiday.

It was hosted by: Maxine, Logann, and Richie.
