## Season Overview

For the first season of BBAST, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I was really happy with the cast and was excited to see how the season would unfold. At the start of the game Loren found herself as the divider. She banished 7 people to hell, and to the HTR comp. I automatically assumed that Abigail or Nooba would fall of first and be eliminated. But to my surprise, Dominic fell first. Abi and Noob both were in the last 4 standing, and noob took out HOH! When noob won full power and locked in Loren and Veronica as his noms, I was really excited to see how the eviction would play out. However Loren received a call from the outside world containing a family emergency. She was then evicted almost unanimously as she needed to be with family. After woah won HOH, and her initial nominee got vetoed, I was really excited to see who out of rylee or nooba would be evicted. However Noob left the game and was therefore ‘evicted’ unanimously. The jury stage of the game is where I found the most fun. After Veronica saved Woah with the POV, Abigail saw them as a threat and sent Woah home in a close vote. The following eviction was Veronicas, as rylee had won full power. When Abigail won her third consecutive HOH competition, the minority pointed out the dominant alliance. Which was Mark, Abigail, Rylee, Amelia and Exploit. However it was too late as Milky was sent home. The following week was extremely interesting as Mark won his first comp of the season on the double eviction. After Amelia was saved, Mark put up Abigail. I saw this as a brilliant move as it was a chance to take a shot at her. However Ellis and Hammy, were sent home in a 2-1-0 vote. The final five was exciting as The alliance could no longer rely on eachother to progress throughout the game. After rylee winning HOH it was anyone’s game. The five of them had played great games up until that point. However Rylee finally took a shot at Abigail and she was sent home. The final four was exciting as there were no clear lines. But when Mark won his second veto, he took himself off the block and evicted rylee. The final 3 all seemed worthy of the win. But when exploit won the FHOH by a hair, he evicted Amelia making her the final juror of the season. In the end, Mark was able to snatch the win off Exploit in a 6-3 vote.

### Development

The group was announced to the public on ?? on Discord; as a spin-off Of the group Big Brother America. The owner of BBST, HardlyEvil invited group members to come and try out the their luck in the first season of BBST. *Big Brother 1* was labeled as a prototype season to see if the group would only host one season and cancel or live on to host more seasons.

### Casting

Applications opened the day the idea was announced, being opened for a few days until they closed. The applicants had the choice of choosing which alternate account they would play on. The cast was then chosen overnight. The cast was dmed, then took cast photos.

## Twists

* **Double Eviction:** On week 7, the houseguests were informed that there was going to be a double eviction. This meant that the HOH would nominate Three houseguests for eviction, and two would be evicted.
* **Hit The Road:** On night one the person who got the odd drink out would be the Divider. The Divider would have to safe 7 people, while the other 8 battled it out in a Hit The Road competition. The loser of this competition would be evicted immediately, while the winner would be the new HOH.
