## ***Background***

### ***Development***

The third season of Chéri revealed its debut cast on September 19th, 2023. The theme was revealed to be weeks prior, and the houseguests were tasked to dress accordingly. This was an all-newbie season featuring fresh faces that would ultimately become the third cast of Chéri, premiering on September 26th, 2023. This season was worked on by a large amount of production. Enae (Bendollz) and Voe (twhice) were the hosts of the season. Voe (twhice) was the main builder of the house, while Meg (archangelical) was tasked with discord management. Season 1 winner Marky (agrahillz) & Season 1 alumni Madden were both tasked with live updates for the season. Season 2 alumni Natalie (nataliesrevenge) & Xavi (xavisxo) were brought onto production to help with trust rankings & comics respectively.

### Casting

Applications were released on ???, 2023. Production was determined to create a cast with a balance of gameplay & personality, ultimately casting multiple "loud" long-term personalities while also casting known gameplayers. This was accomplished at a grand scale, creating a season full of VC fights & stellar moves.

## ***Twists And Changes***

* **Wickerman Curse:** Every HOH has the ability to hex somebody of their choice in the house. It doesn't have to be a nominee, just somebody. If a player accumulates 3 hexes on themselves, they will automatically become a third nominee without nominations. Should this 3rd nominee stay on the block, the week would become a double eviction, with 2 houseguests going home in one week. The only way to reduce and therefore cleanse yourself of one curse accumulation is by winning an HOH yourself. This twist will last until the Final 7.
* **Blood Sacrifice:** Players are given the choice to accumulate 2 hexes on themselves to have the ability to curse a houseguest of their choice. The cursed houseguest are then handicapped for 2 weeks which includes No POV plays or outgoing HOH plays. The player is still however, able to vote.
* **Halting Hex:** A poll was released to the audience, and the houseguest with the most votes at the poll's close would receive a Halting Hex, which allows them to cancel any eviction up until the Final 7. Houseguest Snipevr won this power, but it was ultimately never used.
* **Double Eviction:** Weeks 7 & 8 were converted to double evictions due to the Wickerman Curse.
* **Resurrection:** After Week 5 had commenced, the eligible prejurors would be able to compete for a spot back into the house.
* **Walpurgisnacht Week:** After a warning from CBC News Anchors & Cheri alumni Madden & Natalie, the storm of Walpurgisnacht rolled into the house, causing both the HOH & the Power of Veto for the week to be invisible.
