Reload: New Blood

***Reload: New Blood*** (Often referred to as *New Blood*) is the first season of the new reality series, Reload. It places ten strangers in a custom built house. They are locked in the house and must live together 24/7. With 10 brand new housemates in a newly designed house, things are going to go off in a bang. The game is introducing competitive elements (House Captain, Votes, and Nominations), while also throwing in a some twists. The House Captain will have to choose people who have not yet been nominated until a certain point in the game. This twist will cause paranoia, while also forcing each H.C. to draw New Blood.

Since this is the first season in the series, there are many elements that continued to be featured throughout the series. Such features include House Captain, Nominations, and a House or Sim Nation vote. Usually there will be twists to the game which would change the format slightly. This would continue until season eleven, when the series is given many format changes

The housemates moved in on November 1, 2018, and were filmed until November 30, 2018. The jury voting, winner reveal, and award crowing took place a week after housemates have left Reload, December 7, 2018. Production concluded on December 10, 2018.

On Day 30, Chelsie Titan was crowned the winner of Reload: New Blood, beating Alex Carter in a jury vote of 3-2. Roland, Rima, Jaime, and Joe won the V.I.P Award, Hero Award, Villain Award, and Fan Favorite Award, respectively.

At the reunion, it was announced that Season 2 would be titled Reload: DNA, with a cast of people who have a real-life relationship.

## Twists

* **New Blood:** Each week the house captain must nominate two people who have not yet been nominated. Once everyone has been nominated once, or the housemates reach Week 5, the twist will end.
* **Sim Nation Vote:** The sim nation audience will be able to cast one vote that will directly impact the house vote.
* **House Vote Superlatives:** The housemates will not know what they will be voting on, instead they were given a Superlative as a clue. After the vote winner is revealed, they will either win a special Prize or Punishment. Some housemates could even win game changing powers.
	+ **Secret Immunity:** Brandi won Secret Immunity during the Week 4. She could either keep it for herself, or gift it to another housemate. She decided to give it to Chelsie, keeping her safe from being nominated.
	+ **Challenge Advantage**: Alex won a secret advantage during Week 4. This allowed him to rig the competition in favor of one of the nominees. He choose to make the competition in Brandi's favor, despite her losing.
* **Instant Ejection:** During the final vote, it was revealed that the Final Three's votes would not be counted. Instead the Sim Nation would cast the sole vote to eject the last housemate.

### House Pictures

The house this season was themed after a "Spring Wonderland". The bedrooms were decorated with bright colors, and the jail room was a comical nod to spring break. The kitchen and living room have bright colors with whimsical decor. The secret lounge was put in this season to give a space for housemates to strategize, and is decorated to represent a screened-in porch.
