Reload: Fans Vs. Favs

***Reload: Fans Vs. Favs*** (Often referred to as *Fans vs. Favorites*) is the fifth season of the Reload series. It will feature five of Reload's favorite past housemates who will play with, or against, five brand new housemates who are die-hard fans of the game. This season will see a brand new twist, Reload Revenge, as well as previous twists used from past seasons. The Sim Nation will actually have a say on what twist, reward, and punishment they would like to see return this season.

The housemates moved into the house on February 26, 2020, and were filmed until March 26, 2020. A pre-filmed Reunion (which consisted of the jury vote, winner crowning, and awards) was filmed a week later on April 2, 2020. Production finally concluded on April 8, 2020, just in time for the Finale on April 10, 2020.

On Day 30, Kyle was crowned the winner of Reload: Fans Vs. Favs, beating Bernie, in a jury vote of 4-1. Rex, Harper, Joe, and Brandi won the V.I.P Award, Hero Award, Villain Award, and Fan Favorite Award, respectively.

At the end of Episode 6, it was revealed in a short teaser that season six would be canceled due to a disaster on set. A teaser was released announcing All-Stars as the theme for season seven.

### House Pictures

The house this season was themed after the Natural Elements being Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water(and Ice). The Bedrooms all have a specific, natural theme to them. The House Captain Suite takes on the element Wind (as winds of change are sure to occur each week) and symbolizes the H.C. looking down from the sky. The Kitchen and Living Room are themed after a "public park" setting while the Bathroom has a very watery feel to it. The Secret Lounge this season was turned in to a Secret Garden and serves as a hideaway for housemates. Instead of a Sky Deck, the house will have a treehouse where housemates can strategize at.
