Big Brother 10

***Big Brother 10*** (also known as ***Big Brother: The Afterlife Saga***) is the tenth installment of Stardust Studios.

## Season Overview

The tenth installment of Stardust Studios... wasn't my favourite season. The two houses twist was definitely an added pressure to the game from a hosting perspective, but it definitely played it's part in the long run when sides between the two houses would form. I liked the Afterlife Advocate and Devil's Duel twist, it added good social dynamics and gave players the chance to boost their social game without ruining the game. I'd say the key players during the pre-jury stage of the game was Seojun for the Heaven house due to winning 2 out of 3 HOHs during the early stages, and Gloriana for the Hell house due to having a bad first two weeks before having a complete 180 by winning HOH on the third week and taking a shot at Luke C. I'd say the first exciting moment of the season was when there was the re-entry/houseguest swap twist that occured just before the two houses merged. The six evictees managed to take a shot at huge competition, Seojun, and it worked out. Through the re-entry twist, Luke C and Yumiko came back into the game and joined the remaining 9 houseguests in the Afterlife. After Jury began, things started to become a bit... predictable. The house was split, keeping the game in it's heaven and hell alliances. Although they established themselves as good physical competition during the pre-jury stages, Sahil and Tina were swiftly taken out by middle-of-the-road players Luke O and Narcissa respectively. After Sigourney rose to power on Week 6 and sent home the first returning player, Luke C, the house was a dead-on split of 4-4. Trouble for the Heaven members occured when Daniel, a seemingly season-long pawn so far, rose to power and took a shot at a non-entity in the game, Yumiko. It became seemingly obvious that Crisento was covered on all angles due to his friendship with the males from Hell (Eric and Luke O) and being an Afterlife Advocate with Sigourney during the first half of the season. From final seven onwards, the house splintered into two pairs: Sigourney/Gloriana, Narcissa/Daniel and Eric/Crisento/Luke O. With a back-to-back HOH for the Hell males, they were able to overpower Narcissa and Daniel, the under-the-radar duo, and send them home. After Daniel's eviction came the much anticipated Double Eviction of the season, where despite being in the minority, Gloriana and Sigourney were able to hold all the power for the week, leaving two Hell males on the block, and forcing Luke O to make a decision. Even though Crisento had the better social game and Eric had numerous competition wins, Luke O decided to take his ride-or-die Eric to the final four, evicting Crisento. Outnumbered 2-1 in the final four HOH, Eric managed to win his second HOH competition and set his sights on Gloriana and Sigourney. In a change of events, Gloriana managed to win the final veto. Despite it being blatantly obvious that Luke O/Eric were a final two deal, she still decided to take out Sigourney, which was probably Gloriana's nail in the coffin and came as a shock to me. Although she was able to defeat Luke O in the final HOH, she could not beat Eric - who had won 2 HOHs and 4 POVs at that point. Eric decided to honor his final two with Luke O, and evicted Gloriana. A majority of the Jury were proud of Eric's consistency and being able to survive votes even with a huge resume, and Luke O was viewed for seemingly riding his coattails. They then proceeded to vote Eric to win Big Brother, in which he became the tenth winner by a 6-3 vote, only losing Gloriana, Sigourney and Tina's votes. Overall, I believe Eric was a deserving winner, but it would have been so much more satisfying seeing Gloriana win, because she probably had the strongest U-Turn I've ever seen out of all 125 houseguests in Stardust Studios history. The season just lacked a lot of strong powerful players and exciting moments were very few and far. It was just a very underwhelming season, but I believe - given the second chance - some players from this season would be able to redeem themselves.

## Twists

* **Heaven and Hell:** During the pre-jury phase of the season, the houseguests would be split into two houses: Heaven and Hell.
* **Judgement Day:** On Premiere Day, despite choosing which they represented (Heaven or Hell) in the application process, ultimately it would be down to the Gods to decide where each houseguest truly belonged. 7 "Judgement Day" duels would send the winners to live in Heaven, whilst the losers to live in Hell.
* **Afterlife Advocates:** Two houseguests competing this season are related to houseguests from previous seasons. Crisento Gonzalez is the brother of Jacinda Gonzalez from *Big Brother 3* and *Big Brother 6*, and Sigourney Thornton-Sinclair is the daughter of Iridessa Sinclair from *Big Brother 7* and *Big Brother 8*. Crisento would be representing the Hell house, whilst Sigourney would be representing the Heaven house. They would be immune during the pre-jury stage of the game, with their purpose being to select two people from their own houses to compete in the Devil's Duel competitions.
* **Devil's Duel:** Each week (besides Week 1 due to complications resulting in a change in the rules), the Afterlife Advocates would pit two of their own houseguests against eachother in a duel. The winner would get to infiltrate the other house and, depending on their Spirit status, would effect something during the week.
	+ **Heaven Spirit:** When a Heaven spirit infiltrated the Hell house, the Heaven spirit would be able to grant one houseguest the ability to cast two votes at the upcoming eviction.
	+ **Hell Spirit:** When a Hell spirit infiltrated the Heaven house, the Hell spirit would be able to steal one of the HOH's nomination spots, allowing the spirit to make their own "Hell nominee". If the Hell nominee was vetoed, the power for renomination would return to the HOH.
* **The Eleventh Hour:** After the collapse of Hell and Heaven, there would be eleven spots open for "The Afterlife (Jury Phase) available for the remaining -- and evicted -- houseguests. Three competitions and a live vote would determine the outcome of this twist.
	+ **Advocate's Ascension:** As Afterlife Advocates, Crisento and Sigourney automatically secured the first two spots and each were allowed to bring one houseguest with them to The Afterlife. Crisento chose Eric, whilst Sigourney chose Daniel. Eric and Daniel claimed the third and fourth spots.
	+ **The Eleventh Hour Part 1 & 2:** - The remaining six houseguests and six evictees would compete in a two-part competition, one part for the houseguests and one part for the evictees. The top two placing evictees and the bottom two placing houseguests would become nominees to evict and re-enter respectively. Seojun and Sahil were the bottom two for Part 1, becoming nominees for eviction. Risha and Yumiko were the top two for Part 2, becoming nominees for re-entry.
	+ **Live Vote:** - After the two-part competition, the four nominees would face the live vote. The six houseguests would be voting for either Risha or Yumiko to re-enter. The six evictees would be voting for either Seojun or Sahil to be evicted. As a result, Seojun was evicted and Yumiko was the first of two to re-enter. Luke O, Gloriana, Narcissa, Tina, Sahil and Yumiko would then claim the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth spots in "The Afterlife", leaving one spot remaining.
	+ **Re-Entry Competition:** - The five remaining evictees, plus the newly evicted Seojun, would compete in one last competition to determine the final houseguest ascending to The Afterlife. Luke C outlasted everybody else, so as a result, they claimed the eleventh spot in The Afterlife and was final houseguest to re-enter. After Luke C ascended, the five evictees were "destroyed" alongside the collapse of Heaven and Hell.
