Season Four

***Season Four** was set within Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry and was themed based on the Harry Potter novels, featuring **24 Students** attempting to expel the **10 Death Eaters** among them. It was hosted in December of 2018 and was the first duos season, with five extra duos being added to House Abagnale as a twist, creating a massive cast. The house was incredibly split from the start with one or two votes making the difference on many boots, and after warfare between the sides Halfway Havoc marked the decisive turning point, in which despite fiercer opposition towards the end Breeze/Xenia slipped their way into the endgame as known Death Eaters, even securing first place at final five due to a clever lie about an advantage, claiming the title with relative ease. Looking past the drama this season is one of the more notable ones, thanks to strong games from a wide range of duos and the tides having shifted constantly. T'was truly a battle for Hogwarts.*

## **Season Summary**

To kick things off the sorting ceremony begins and duos are split into their respective houses, with House Abagnale being added as a surprise twist, upping the cast size by five duos. Right off the bat the houses work to create banners, with an entire house winning the reward, which led to the creation of the infamous Jace's Slytherin banner, though Ravenclaw ultimately won, sending Breeze/Xenia & Connor/Drew up to the top four. The duos least able to form bonds quickly fall to the bottom of the school, with TJ/Neme, Peyton/Lily, & Dean/Nacho falling into danger. Though the vote itself is somewhat insignificant sides are beginning to form, with Breeze/Xenia & Joey/Aidan marking a sharp divide in the house, with Breeze/Xenia gunning for TJ/Neme & Joey/Aidan after Dean/Nacho. TJ/Neme promise to stay invested and return any saves for them down the line, whereas Dean/Nacho preach the same loyalty. Ultimately in a 10-8 vote Neme & TJ's wands are snapped, as they're the first Death Eater duo to fall.

After some suspicious activity of gillyweed consumption on call & blunts in the forbidden forest plus Jace completely destroying everyone's innocence Breeze/Xenia claim their second reward victory, with Breeze excelling in the flash game. Both surviving nominees from week one are unable to gain any more footing and slip to the bottom once again, with AJ/Xander taking a huge drop from top four to bottom three, catching them offguard. When Jared/McKenna claim their second 1st place in a row they use the twist to devastate Aaron & Michael, exposing their trustlist publicly, causing Dean/Nacho/Ryan in particular to lose trust in them. Aaron does damage control while Burded acts as a wholesome mediator, and speculation begins as to who claimed first, as McKenna/Jared don't fess up to the deed. Lily & Peyton once again promise honesty to those who save them but it's not enough, and they're sent home in a 7-5-4 split.

Rumors begin that a House Abagnale alliance has been formed, which Abagnale members are quick to deny. When the Hogwarts fashion Runway begins AJ narrowly bests Joey in an unlikely victory, via his recreation of Fawkes the Phoenix. Suspicions rise that each of the houses contain one Death Eater duo, Breeze/Xenia help form a plan to take out Boston & Kenya and begin their CMIYC safari metaphor confessionals, & people begin to grow weary of Jared & McKenna, who have now claimed their third 1st place in a row. Ultimately Dean/Nacho become pawns again as Paco/Chris and Boston/Kenya fall to the bottom with them. Boston/Kenya remind everyone that they'll be fine shields and that anyone put up in the future against Dean/Nacho will have slim odds, whereas Dean/Nacho embrace their role as pawns, and say they accept it. The cast divides immensely once again and to the frustration of many Dean/Nacho survive by a singular vote, with Kenya/Boston departing.

To kick off the following week the Great Feast begins with CMIYC2 Cooking Alumni making a surprise appearance to judge, Alan & Allen's Nachos reigning supreme. As people begin to catch on to Jared & McKenna's dominance they slide down slightly on the trustlist, with their obvious closest allies Burded & Spencer being dropped down to become nominees, with Ari/Swish joining them, and Dean/Nacho returning to their pawn position, nominated for the fourth time straight. Joey calls out Breeze for running the game and consistently helping save Dean & Nacho, saying that people are taking the easy way out and just renomming them, rather than making a move. Allen & Alan support Joey, saying that it's time to take down the people who've been on top all game, and that Dean/Nacho should pack their bags, and also saying that Spencer/Burded need to stop playing McKenna & Jared's game. Allen then proceeds to try and start drama with three additional duos, confusing Paco/Chriss & Drew/Connor greatly. Allen & Alan then vote out the only nominated duo they *didn't* call out, Ari & Swish, and a majority of the house joins them, leaving Joey/Aidan, Paco/Chriss, & Jaws/Kiwi in the minority, with Ari/Swish departing.

The school gathers together to compete in the annual CMIYC Clue Game, left to uncover Dumbeldore's murder. Everyone succeeds apart from AJ & Xander, who are barred from competing by the previous week's twist, played against them by Clash & Jace, who drop from their 1st the previous week down to a nominee. Due to a majority of the house's frustation with Allen the A-Team also lands on the block, with Dean & Nacho becoming a pawn once again. Joey very publicly lets it be known that he'll work with anyone who goes against Breeze & Xenia, who have started to slide down the trustlist a considerable amount despite their success in the voting. The cast generally accepts that the season's becoming a Breeze/Xenia vs Joey/Aidan showdown, though Ryan tries to form his own team. Ryan also calls out Dean & Nacho for their poor social game, frustrated that they continue to survive. Upon being nominated Clash & Jace admit to using the twist the previous week, confirming themselves as Students, and they plead that most know where their loyalty stands. The sides form up once again however, and to Joey & Aidan's dismay Breeze/Xenia remain on the right side of the vote, with Clash/Jace departing 8-7.

Worries grow as the House notices the last four boots have been Students, & Dean reminisces about his season one Detective glory days. Some duos believe it'll be impossible to distiguish them from Students based on character alone, while others believe there's clues everywhere. Speculation transforms into conflict as McKenna/Jared discover Jon's begun to spread rumors of them being Death Eaters, with McKenna calling him out for making top four deals every round and immediately breaking them. Jon references their previous placements and the notable fact that they were in the top twice when the twist/advantage was declined, saying they're obvious suspects. McKenna & Jared admit they lied about their double vote twist and that they were indeed the ones to play it, & when no one disputes it they're at long last confirmed as Students, however it's not enough to remove the target off their back, and them and their closest allies Burded/Spencer fall to the bottom, Dean/Nacho joining them as the pawn. When AJ & Xander claim 1st and unleash the trustlist reveal twist they admit to it, confirming them as Students as well, though unleashing a whirlwind of drama, with much heat falling upon Aaron & Michael. After Ryan & Jared spar McKenna/Jared make their final pitch that they're confirmed Students & clearly don't have much power in the game but after their earlier success it's not enough to save them, as they narrowly depart in a 6-4-2 vote.

Things calm for a moment as AJ & Xander continue to write a 27 act screenplay of their adventures throughout the castle, memes & taglines are made, Joey/Aidan dominate the roast challenge, & people continue to grow weary that Breeze & Joey's followers continue to fall to the bottom, but never Breeze/Xenia or Joey/Aidan themselves. Additionally the Slytherin house has been officially exterminated, being the only one to contain no Death Eaters, and frustrations grow that confirmed Student duos have been picked off in both the previous votes, with much Death Eater suspicion landing upon Aaron & Michael. Joey/Aidan call out Jon & Dav for playing right into Breeze & Xenia's hands, and Jon/Dav slide down the trustlist rapidly, becoming a nominee, with Connor/Drew & Spencer/Burded joining them, Dean/Nacho finally catching a break. Joey/Aidan & Breeze/Xenia wage war again, with Joey/Aidan backing Connor & Drew, and Breeze/Xenia backing Dav & Jon. Both Connor/Drew & Jon/Dav preach loyalty but thanks to success in the recent votes Breeze/Xenia still have the numbers on their side, causing Connor/Drew to narrowly depart 6-5, the 6th fallen Student duo in a row.

Joey/Aidan & Breeze/Xenia call each other out as Death Eaters, Ryan expresses frustration at no one doing anything about the continued Student onslaught, & AJ/Xander kidnap Spencer and drag him into their narrative, jokingly exposing him as a Death Eater, which he is in fact. Chaos begins when Breeze & Xenia drop to dead last on the trustlist, Chris/Paco & Spencer/Burded close behind them. A vast majority of the cast sees benefit in keeping the season's conflict intact however, and with Spencer/Burded already being strongly suspected Death Eaters it spells out doom for them. Though they shift and try to accept the new pawn role it's not enough, and everyone evicts Spencer/Burded except for Joey & Aidan, another Death Eater duo finally fallen.

As Halfway Havoc arrives the remaining duos are informed that reward challenges will cease to exist, with the final half being purely social/strategic. Furthermore the duos are split temporarily, with them each being divided into two new schools, in which the week's nominations will be decided. After the nominees are obtained duos will return to their original state, and a Double Eviction will follow, with only one fortunate nominee surviving. Though Joey's narrowly able to survive Xenia's side of the house Aidan's not as fortunate, causing him & Joey to become a nominee, giving Breeze & Xenia their chance to end the war. Paco devises a clever scheme and goes around telling people he's a Death Eater even though he's not, and when Aaron admits to him that him & Michael are DE's as well Paco exposes it to AJ, who then tells the entire cast, causing Aaron/Michael to plummet down the list as well, with Dean/Nacho joining them, nominated for the 7th time. Aaron/Michael try to plead but Michael knows Aaron's slip is a death sentence, and they're the first duo to fall with just a singular save, another Death Eater duo down. Joey/Aidan fight hard and preach that keeping them will ensure the win stays out of Breeze & Xenia's hands, but as Breeze & Xenia have slowly but surely removed ally after ally of theirs they are finally flung from the Astronomy Tower, with Jaws/Kiwi & AJ/Xander being the only ones to save them.

With seven remaining & people trying to pinpoint the remaining Death Eaters AJ/Xander deliberately spark up tensions by denying that they got 1st in a week in which they did, despite being confirmed Students, leading the cast to believe one pair of Alan/Allen or Ryan/Kiwi are evil. When Allen realizes this he calls Ryan out over it, accusing him of trying to cover his tracks. Ryan says he apologizes to Alan for his partner then reminds them that he's sworn over his religion that he's good, and slightly suspects AJ of a setup, reminding AJ & Xander that it would be a horrible move for a Student duo to make other Students look like Death Eaters. Allen swears over his religion as well and ultimately Ryan/Kiwi fall to dead last, being put up against Dean/Nacho, which appears to be the final nail in the coffin. Alan & Allen fight over who their allies are, Xenia admits to claiming 1st and denying it, and people begin to become annoyed with how much AJ & Xander believe they're immune due to their role confirmation. Dean/Nacho play up their pawn role like normal but Ryan/Kiwi fight extremely hard to stay, reminding everyone that one day they too will fall victim to Dean/Nacho, and that they'll do anything to prove themselves as Students. Shockingly, Dean/Nacho are at long last evicted unan1mously, 6-1.

Hell breaks loose when the two most likely duos to be Students are nominated against each other and the two remaining Death Eater duos place 1st & 2nd, with Breeze/Xenia secretly claiming the Werewolf Fang advantage for future use. Despite being nominated against each other AJ/Xander and Ryan/Kiwi bond greatly as they realize everything- That the Death Eaters finally have control over the game, Breeze/Xenia are almost definitely one of them, & that old school CMIYC appears to be dead, with no one paying mind to the roles, and they laugh knowing how likely it is that Alan/Allen & Paco/Chris will lose. Alan & Jon defend their actions, saying AJ brought it upon himself by acting as though him & Xander were immune thanks to their role. AJ apologizes and gives one of the best parting speeches in CMIYC history, saying that it's a game about numbers at it's core, and that though Students can take out other Students to prepare for the public vote like they did early on, if a cast waits too long they'll lose their numbers as was the current case, and yet people still desire to gun for Students. He continues with that fact that Zwooper will always root for the underdog villainous roles in any given season so long as they're deserving winners, & because of this him & Xander have been playing as openly Students, trying to narrow down Death Eater suspects no matter who they may have been, & even if it had made them seem overly confident they needed to play up their role, to try and prevent a fate like the current one, but apparently to no avail. To top off the week Xenia & Breeze finally reveal themselves as Death Eaters, claiming their Werewolf Fang will grant them immunity in the following round. Ultimately AJ & Xander depart unanimously in a 5-1 vote, with hope for the Students looking bleak.

As the cast had been informed on day one of the game that a Full Moon would rise at both Halfway Havoc & the final five almost everyone believes Xenia & Breeze's story about the Fang, although in reality all it does is provide them a slight nomination boost over all other duos, though preventing them from submitting a trustlist or eviction vote. They end up emerging in 1st place on the overall trustlist, cementing their spot in the endgame, with Alan/Allen & Dav/Jon becoming the final nominees. Paco finally realizes that despite making the endgame he and Chriss are essentially doomed, and though Breeze/Xenia ask for them to look at it from a strategic standpoint tensions are still high, with Ryan & Paco calling them out for the many lies, though Allen still supports them, holding onto a hope that if he makes finals he can pitch that his duo had integrity. Ryan/Kiwi debate a last ditch play of faking being Death Eaters but decide to the end the game as proud Students, despite knowing Breeze/Xenia will probably outedge them in the end. Deemed the more threatening duo Jon/Dav are evicted 3-1, and are the second to last Death Eaters to fall.

As the final four jury vote begins the jury looks back upon the chain of events that led to this outcome, with one or two votes making the difference in almost all of the scenarios early on. As the pleas are posted the feel is nearly unanimous that Breeze/Xenia or Ryan/Connor deserve the win, with Paco/Chriss or Alan/Allen deserving to depart. A deciding factor is Paco's perceived public support, with the jury thinking that eliminating him from the running would likely cement a Breeze/Xenia or Ryan/Connor win against Alan/Allen in the end, and Paco/Chriss depart 6-3-1-0. Ultimately despite his frustration with Breeze/Xenia & his newfound bond with Ryan & Kiwi Paco bases his decision on his view of gameplay alone, believing Breeze & Xenia to be the rightful winners of the season, granting them the final immunity. Knowing their time has come Ryan calls out Allen once more for following Breeze & Xenia to the end, saying that by the time Alan/Allen & Paco/Chriss decided it was time to do something it was too little too late. Ryan/Kiwi depart and Breeze/Xenia claim the crown by a wide margin, with 63.6% of the public vote, a fitting end to the Battle of Hogwarts.
