Mad House VIP 1

**Mad House VIP 1** is the first season of The Mad House VIP series.

## Overview

### Production Changes

* **Shorter Season:** Due to the fact that the Celebrity HouseGuests can't commit to a full three month season, the season will last for 29 days.
* **Smaller Prize Money:** Since the series is one-third the normal length of a normal season, and due to the fact that the Celebrities will be paid to enter the house, the prize has been cut in half to $500,000.
* **Have-Not Changes:** Due to the shorter season, the HouseGuests will endure shorter periods of have-not status and will not be limited to sleeping in the outdoor area.

### Twists

* **VIP HouseGuests:** For the first time ever, a group of Celebrity houseguests will enter the house.
* **Mad House VIP Giftbags:** On the first night, each contestant was given a giftbag with a number inside. The HouseGuest with the number chosen would be immune and would start a selection chain.
	+ **Immunity:** Malcolm Kennedy had the number chosen to become immune and started the selection process. Taysha Clifford and Shanice Messina were the first two in the rankings and were also given immunity.
	+ **Third Nominee:** The person not chosen by the end of the selection process would become the third nominee. Cora Trenthill was not selected and was thus named the third nominee.
* **Double Eviction:** During Cycle 5, three HouseGuests would be nominated for eviction with two being evicted. However, different to past evictions, this would not be a vote to save.
	+ **Two Powers of Protection:** Paired up during the Double Eviction, two Powers of Protection were up for grabs during the competition instead of the singular Power of Protection.
* **Instant Eviction:**  The newly crowned House Ambassador is sequestered, where they must make their nominations without speaking to any of their fellow houseguests. There is no Power of Protection competition, and one of the nominees is evicted as usual.
* **Final Four, Final HA:** Four HouseGuests will play in the Final House Ambassador competition with the winner selecting one houseguest to take to the finals.
* **VIP Jury Format:** Due to the VIP format, the HouseGuests will all be apart of the Jury once evicted. However, they will be sent home instead of being sequestered in a Jury house, meaning they can watch the episodes play out before coming back to cast their final vote.
