Big Brother Minecraft 8

## Cast

***Big Brother Minecraft 8***, is the 8th season of Big Brother Minecraft and the 9th season overall.

## Background

#### **Development**

Big Brother Minecraft: Season 8 was brought to life by a poll that was started on the Andrew Yalo Discord on January 18th, 2022. The poll asked users to pick which show they wanted to see get produced next, and Big Brother Minecraft won with a total of 86 votes compared to Survivor's 59 votes and The Amazing Race's 41 votes.. Official production began seven months later on July 20th, 2022. This season was filmed on October 8th, 2022 and lasted for almost 18 hours.

This will be the first season of Big Brother Minecraft that will be giving away a real cash prize. In previous seasons, it was "$500,000" as a nod to the real show.

David & Chief from Big Brother Minecraft 4 and All-Stars. Smooth, Killer, and Spencer from Minecraft Survivor: Nightmare Island. Ryan from Big Brother Minecraft 2 also attended.

## Twists

* **Bounty Card Twist**: Everybody was randomly assigned a target for the first half of the game. If a houseguest got their target evicted, they would recieve a BB Bounty Card which would be active for 3 evictions. You can only use a bounty card if a Head of Household named them as a nominee at either a nomination ceremony or a Veto meeting.
* **Triple Eviction**: At the Week 4 eviction, after Ray was evicted, the house guests played a weeks worth of Big Brother in one night. The HoH, Maxim, got to name 3 nominees and, at the end of the week, 2 of them went home. Players that were safe and not on the block voted for the person they wanted to save.
