2 months ago, 16 tengaged users decided to apply for this game. Eventually, once the cast was finalized, they were revealed to each other and the game began very quickly.
During the season premiere, it was revealed that one of them would be evicted before the season began. They were all tasked with choosing one of 7 roller coasters, being told one of them would give them a ride to the chopping block. Jay A and Béla were unlucky enough to choose this coaster, while Jake and Kourtney were also nominated for not choosing. Everyone else was tasked with evicting one of these 4 nominees, and in the end, Jake was given an early exit from the Big Brother house.
After that, the first twist of the game was revealed. For the first 4 weeks of the game, the houseguests would be given the choice to play in something called the “Concession Competition” instead of the Veto competition, where the winner would get to claim a snack from the “Concession Stand”. Each snack could either benefit or hurt their game.
The game then finally began, and Jenah became the first Head of Household of the season. She nominated Tico and Béla, but Tico won the Veto and took himself off. Jenah then replaced him with Thomas. And then... it was revealed that Cray was the only person who wanted to play in the concession competition that week, and therefore he automatically got to pick a snack from the concession stand. However, the snack he picked ended up putting him on the block as a third nominee for that week. At the end of the week, the house decided to evict Béla.
In Week 2, Tico became the new Head of Household and nominated Jenah and Ali. However, Jenah won the Veto and took herself off of the block, and she was replaced with Sasha. Tico also ended up winning the concession competition, but was given the punishment of having to sit out of all competitions for the next 2 weeks. During the eviction, it was revealed that Sasha had been voted out of the Big Brother house.
The next HOH was Cray. He nominated Cindy and Luke for eviction, and kept his nominations the same after winning the Veto. The eviction resulted in a tie, and Cray had to choose which of his nominees to send home. He ultimately decided to send home Luke.
Nick also won the concession competition that week, and was given an incredibly tough choice to make. If he wanted to, he could bring an evicted houseguest back into the game. However, he ultimately decided not to bring anyone back.
The next houseguest to take power was Jay H. He nominated Tico and Kourtney, and Kourtney ended up winning the Veto. However, her Veto was discarded due to her failure to make a decision in time. Ultimately, this caused her to get evicted at the end of the week.
Jay A also won the final concession competition, and was awarded with choosing next week’s Veto players. Tico’s punishment came to an end, and the concession twist was officially over.
Val became the next HOH and nominated Cindy and Ali. Nick won the Veto and kept nominations the same, and the following evicted resulted in another tie. Val then decided to evict Ali.
In the next week, Cray became Head of Household for the second time and nominated Cindy and Mason for eviction. However, Jay H won the Veto and took Cindy off of the block. Cray replaced her with Thomas, but it was Mason who would end up getting evicted at the end of the week.
Then, a new twist was introduced. This twist was known as “The Prize Booth”, and the houseguests were told that they could sacrifice their HOHs and Vetos to receive a beneficial power for them to use in the game.
Jay A won the next Head of Household competition and decided not to give in to the temptation of the prize booth. He nominated Thomas and Nick, and Nick ended up winning the Veto competition. However, he surprisingly decided to give it up to enter the prize booth, and it was given to the runner up of the competition, Cindy. And then... she decided to use the Veto on him. Jay A replaced him with Val, but Thomas was the one who ended up getting evicted that week.
Jay H won the next HOH competition, but decided to give it up to enter the prize booth. Jenah then became HOH as the runner up of the competition and nominated Tico and Val. Cindy won the Veto and decided not to enter the prize booth, and then decided to leave nominations the same. At the end of the week, Val was evicted from the Big Brother house.
8 weeks had now passed, and at this point the prize booth twist had come to an end. However... the houseguests learned another shocking truth. They learned that one of the jurors would be returning to the game after the next HOH competition! It was an epic contest, but the winning juror in the end was Mason, and he now had been given a second chance inside of the house.
The next HOH was Cray, and he decided to nominate Cindy and Nick. However, Nick had also decided to use his prize booth power that week, which allowed him a whole week of safety as long as he used it in advance. Pressured to come up with another nominee, Cray decided to instead put up Mason, but Mason won the Veto and took himself off of the block. He was replaced with Tico, but it was ultimately game over for Cindy at the end of the week.
Jay H rose to power next, and he nominated Jay A and Mason. Jenah won the Veto and decided to use it on Jay A, and Jay H replaced him with Tico. At the end of the week, Tico was evicted.
Then, it was announced that another houseguest would be following Tico out the door in a special double eviction. Jenah won the next HOH competition and nominated Nick and Mason. Mason won the Veto, and Jenah decided to nominate Jay H as a replacement. However, Jay H then used his prize booth power, which was a pocketed Power of Veto he could use after any upcoming Veto ceremony. Jenah then had to name a new replacement nominee, and she decided to nominate Jay A. However, Nick was the one who ended up getting evicted.
With only 5 people left, the competition got fierce. Cray rose to power once again and nominated Jay A and Mason. Jenah won the Veto thanks to her special ticket advantage that she won during that week, and she decided to keep nominations the same. The following vote resulted in a tie, and Cray decided to evict Mason for the second time.
During the final week of the game, Jenah became the HOH and nominated both of the Jays. She then won the Veto and decided to use it on Jay A, and Cray automatically went up in his place. Jay A was then tasked with evicting either Cray or Jay H from the house, and he ultimately decided to evict Jay H.
And now... only three houseguests remain.
In less than a week, either Jenah, Jay A or Cray will be crowned the winner of Nano’s Big Brother 8.
Who will it be? Only time will tell...
Finalists... you all have worked hard to get here. Making it to the final 3 in any Big Brother game is definitely a huge accomplishment, and you should all be very proud of yourselves for making it this far!
However, only one of you can win in the end. And if you wanna win... you’ll have to compete harder than you’ve ever competed in the 3-part final HOH competition.
For now though, enjoy this virtual final 3 banquet I made for you!
