Redemption Residence 1

***Redemption Residence 1*** (also known as ***Big Brother Redemption Residence: Autumn Mountain***) is the first installment of the spin-off series made by Stardust Studios. This season consisted of all-returners who came back to redeem themselves from getting a poor placement in their original season.

## Season Overview

The first installment of Stardust Studios' first spin-off, Redemption Residence was a little bit of a middle-of-the-road season to me. The cast was definitely packed full of players that needed just a little bit of redeeming, and honestly, I think everybody got SOME kind of redemption, whether it was a glow up, or being a better competitor. The boot order was definitely interesting. The best-of-the-worst, like Sloane and Adrian, got chopped early on vs. people who had absolutely no game at all in their original season (Luke, Dante) go far and do well. Although it would have been nice to see Myles' and Zachery's "Twisted Trails" powers play out, Tahani's definitely put on quite a show. The beginning of the season put Myles on a pedestal, with him winning 3 HOHs within 6 weeks, and we saw Natasha - the underdog - struggling to survive in the game, but an interesting climb to power during Halloween Week definitely shook things up, with a surprising early departure of Priscilla. In the middle of the game, it was obvious the males were running the show, with Adrian and the girls getting picked off, but Luke's allyship with Alicia proved a challenge to the all-boys group.
I believe the peak of the game had to do with Tahani's "Second Chance Sycamore", that allowed her to rewind the clock and prevent her eviction. Temporarily teaming up with the infamous Lukelicia duo, they were able to crack the boys' alliance and send home competition threat, Myles, in the rewind. After Myles' shocking exit, and Victor's rise to power, the duo and Tahani were quickly shuffled back to the bottom of the deck, where they had to cut their ties with Tahani at F5. An alternative Final 4 set-up proved essential to Luke and Alicia, where Luke finally rose to power winning his first HOH at final four. Locked in with Alicia to the end, Luke pit comp beast vs. savvy social player in the Clash of the Contenders, where in a turn of events, the social player beat the physical player in a physical comp. At the final 3, Luke was caught between his two closest allies heading into the final HOH, and ultimately needed to make a choice, yet it never panned out due to him losing both Part 1 and Part 2. With Alicia and Victor locked into going head-to-head in Part 3, it was winner-takes-all, as both planned on taking Luke. Despite an early setback, Alicia rose to the top, winning the final HOH and finally cutting Victor at the final 3. Lukelicia both went through a lot of struggles this season together, constantly going on the block and actively trying to fight against strong tides, but it was Alicia's overall competition status and continued strength to blow everybody away that inspired the Jury to give her the win, and ultimately, in a unanimous 7-0 vote, Alicia was deemed the winner of Autumn Mountain. Alicia was a loud and proud, present character all season long. It may have been a heavily male-ran season, but Alicia's continued dominance allowed her to defeat them all, and she's proven herself to be a very very worthy winner, and a strong competitive contender. Well done, Alicia! Overall, this season was not the best, but not the worst. It belongs in the middle.

## Twists

* **Twisted Trails** - Every week for the first three weeks, four houseguests would compete in a competition to earn a power, but with the power came the risks.
	+ **Opportunity Orchid** - The winner of this Twisted Trail would select one houseguest to compete against in the very first HOH competition. However, if the challenger beat the winner in the duel, the winner would become automatically nominated.
	+ **River of Restoration** - The winner of this Twisted Trail would receive a "drained" HOH steal power. In order to restore it's power, the winner would have to self-nominate, stay on the block and receive 3 votes to evict. In that case, the current HOH would be dethroned and immune, the two nominees would come off the block and the winner would become the new HOH, and would instantly nominate two houseguests to face the vote.
	+ **Second Chance Sycamore Trees** - The winner of this Twisted Trail would receive the power to re-enter the game if evicted prior to the final four. In order to return, however, the evictee would have to play a competition to re-enter. If re-entered, the game would rewind to after the previous eviction and the houseguests would have to play a rewound version of the week, where the returnee must avoid the same fate.
* **Halloween Week** - At the beginning of the week, everybody would be temporarily nominated. The HOH would play out as usual. The HOH would then be safe, and would nominate two other houseguests for SAFETY. The remaining houseguests would then become official nominees, and they would compete in their own Power of Veto competition. The Veto Holder would then save themselves, and the people left on the block would face the vote on eviction night. All nominees would cast a vote alongside the safe houseguests, and the HOH would only vote in the event of a tie.
* **Clash of the Contenders** - In an alternate Final 4 format, the HOH would play out as usual, but at the nomination ceremony, the HOH would nominate two people to face off in a showdown. The winner would join the HOH and the person they saved in the final three. The loser would then become automatically evicted.
