Big Brother 8

***Big Brother 8*** (also known as ***Big Brother: Agents of America***) is the eighth installment of Stardust Studios.

## Season Overview

The eighth installment of Stardust Studios was a season I very much enjoyed. It was refreshing seeing the returnees not completely work together, they managed to form alliances with the newer players and the game became an interesting all-out war. The entire Pre-Jury stage, featuring the Hitman twist, was a great success, with an array of blindsides and evictions caused by this twist's anonymity. The first Double Eviction was a major turning point of the season with one returnee, Ursula, sending home a huge social threat, Wesley, who also happened to be a returnee. Lines were drawn in the sand, dividing the returning females against the newbie males, with Adelae and Gianni playing the middle, which a massive part in the second half of the game. Despite Ursula's success in HOH competitions, the introduction of Veto Vault thwarted several of her plans, notably Abbigail going home due to the Boomerang Veto. Despite the consistent clashing between both sides, the two alliances had a Double Eviction without bloodshed between them, instead focusing their aim at the two houseguests in the middle, Adelae and Gianni, sending them home back to back. After annihilating the outsiders, Ursula's downfall was using the veto to save Keagan instead of Iridessa, resulting in a devastating eviction of Iridessa. With Ursula up against the three boys, her mistake came back to haunt her, resulting in her shocking robbery at the final four. With the first all-male final three in Stardust Studios, it was the ultimate showdown between Jaylen and Keagan for the win... until it was not. Brodie, a rather quiet player this season, managed to defeat both of them in the final HOH. With the final decision in his hands, he decided to cut Jaylen over Keagan. The Jury strongly felt that Keagan had the overall all-rounded, better game, being the last houseguest to touch the block after 9 weeks and having a few competition wins, whilst Brodie didn't really make any moves until final three. The Jury awarded Keagan the win in a 6-3 vote, only losing Adelae, Gianni and Abbigail's votes. Keagan is a very deserving winner, and this season had countless amounts of backstabbing, betraying, robberies, and has produced plenty of people I would love to see return again, or even for a third time. Agents of America is definitely up there as one of my favourite seasons yet.

## Twists

* **Agents of America:** America will be voting for the final houseguests, one man and one woman will enter the house to become the Agents of America. These Agents played for the viewing public. The viewers voted and controlled his every game decision on which houseguest target, nominate, or evict.
* **Amateur Agents:** Six houseguests from past seasons, Abbigail Lee from *Big Brother 3*, Iridessa Sinclair from *Big Brother 7*, Jackson Ryan from *Big Brother 4*, Theo Moore from *Big Brother 2*, Ursula Yoshioka from *Big Brother 5* and Wesley Durham from *Big Brother 1* will return to compete against 8 Rookie Agents and the 2 Agents of America, looking to either redeem their villainous pasts... or to continue their chaos.
* **Hitman Competition:** Each week the Houseguests competed in the Hitman Competition. The winner of this competition was privately informed of their victory and received the power to name a third nominee for eviction anonymously. If the Power of Veto winner took the "Hitman Nominee" off of the block, the Hitman winner would secretly name a replacement nominee.
* **Assassins:** At the beginning of the season, each houseguest drew another houseguest's name from a box in a "Secret-Santa" style. The houseguest that the person draw would then have to try "assassinate" (evict) their target by any means necessary. If a houseguest manages to successfully assassinate their target on their HOH reign, they would receive immunity for the following week/cycle of the game. This twist would last until the Final 7.
* **Veto Vault:** Returning from *Big Brother 7* as a full-fledged twist, during Weeks 7, 8, and 9, the reigning Head of Household would enter a vault located inside the Big Brother HQ, where they had 3 envelopes in front of them. The HOH would select an envelope containing one variant of the Power of Veto, which would upgrade the regular Veto and becomes up for grabs at the Veto competition that week.
