Big Brother Season 8 THE FINAL!!

*You Can Click Above For The Previous Part!!*

*THE FINAL!!*


Previously on Big Brother... Coty and Isabella took their Final 2 to the next level when some innocent flirting led to a whole lot more.


When Paola interupted an innocent Hot Tub date between Raj and Yusun, she seemed to have a plan in place. She was all over Raj right in front of Yusun to piss her off, and it was working. Raj tried to play it cool, but being stuck in the middle and wanting to please them both made things very complicated. 


With Coty in the driver seat as the HoH, he sought revenge for all the times he'd been used as a pawn. He decided to target the two girls in the house who have nominated him in the past, so they would know what it feels like. Coty didn't care what happened this week, he just wanted to make sure Isabella was safe.


After the Nomination Ceremony, Paola continued to taunt Yusun by flirting with Raj and she felt so betrayed that there was only one option left..


Yusun breaks up with Raj, and Paola couldn't be more satisfied. She got what she wanted and now Raj was all hers in this game.


In the Veto Comp, Raj made it even worse for himself. Gaining all the power to save one of the girls from the nomination block. Now, Raj had to show his cards, something he hasn't done all season. Since Week 1 Raj has been manipulating everyone into thinking he had their back 100%.


As the cards fell, it was Paola who was left Devastated. Raj saves his ex girlfriend over Paola, and she felt so betrayed.


Paola's anger was uncontrollable following that betrayal, and it led to the worst Wasted Drunk Roll I've ever seen in any season of Big Brother. Paola was forced to break up two of her alliances lose -30 friendship with everyone. This girl's tantrum completely destroyed her game.


After Raj realized how much of a liability she was, he cut her lose. Ending the only alliance she had left in the house and completely turned his back on her at the last minute to save his own ass in this game.


In a 12 to 19 Final Score, Paola was left with out an ally in the world. Everyone she was working with gave her the cold shoulder and left her out to dry. She couldn't control her anger, and it was her ultimate demise. We are now down to the Final 4, SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO WIN THIS GAME!! Are you ready to meet our Season 8 Winner?! The Finale Starts Right Now!


These Sims are your Final 4 for Season 8! Isabella, Coty, Raj and Yusun. All Four of them have played very different games to get to this point, so let's take a look at what it took to get them here before we hop into the action.


Isabella's entire world revolves around fitness, so it was no surprise that when it came to competitions, she could deliver! She was seen as an early game threat due to her intimidating physique and smarts. Being labeled the "Puppet Master", everyone was convinced that this girl needed to go. Getting two -30 Rolls within two rotations destroyed her relationships, and ultimately she stood no chance in a vote. Her game was seemingly over, but because her exit was so early on, she was given a 2nd life in this game in the Battle Back Competition, which she won. A devastating return put her immediately into Have Not Isolation on her one week of immunity, giving her absolutely no time to build her relationships before she became a target again. Locked in a room with arguably the two most evil houseguests all season, it didn't end well, and she came out of there with -100 Friendship with both of them. It was hell, but somehow she managed to hang on. Those horrible people were annoying the house so much, it gave Isabella time to start slowly building those relationships back up, and the house was none the wiser. When she eventually came under fire again, she saved herself and continued to work on those relationships. Eventually, she entered a Final 2 with Coty, who was also struggling on the Outside of his Core Alliance and realized he was at the bottom of it. This Duo, along with a string of other mid game alliances have carried her to the end of this game, and judging her progression from Week 3 to now, she has completely flipped things around and has a great chance of winning!


Coty hasn't had the easiest road to the finale. An early pawn, he was used constantly in the beginning of the game to try and take out bigger threats, to the point of being labeled the "Pawn Star". Coty didn't seem like he was going to make it far judging from his early relationships in the game, but his dedication to working out and his charming personality really gave him the alliances he needed to improve his game. As a member of the Core Alliance that ruled over this house Coty was never considered one of the main stays, but what it did do was give him a lot of time off the block to develop bonds on the opposite of his alliance without them noticing. The most notable bond was with Isabella, who at the time was really on the outs with everyone. His loyalty to her has definitely payed off, and his timely exit from the Main Alliance really got him where he is today, Had he not strayed away from the main alliance, they would've fed him to the wolves and he would definitely be sitting on the Jury right now. He's had a slow progressive climb to the top, and has done everything it requires to win this game. If Coty show us what he's made of in these next few competitions and fights his way to Final 2, he's a shoe in for the win!



Raj has played a much different game from everyone else in the house. He won the first HoH of the season, just to give himself some leeway to start building up an army that would carry him to the end. His early bond with Malcolm really solidified his place in this house, and the two worked together to start a Core Alliance that would shake the entire season. Raj's quirky personality and charm made people trust him, even though he was misting everyone in this game. He never let anyone in on his true plans, which is what I think has got him to this point. From selling out his closest ally, to manipulating someone to take their worst enemy off the block, Raj has made moves in this game that were completely masterful. As the game moves forward, Raj's game is a little shaky, people are finally wary of him, but there's no denying that he has the charm to real them back in and take this game all the way to the end. Raj is a game player and honestly, one of my favorites to ever play this game.


Yusun is basically the poster girl of Season 8, when you think of Season 8, you think of Yusun. She has been involved in almost all the Drama from the very beginning of the game. A Competition Legend, Yusun has almost matched the Record for the most Comp Wins in a Season and could even surpass it! She won an ASTOUNDING FOUR HOHS! That's insane. The most impressive part of it all was that Yusun, even after winning all of those competitions, was the last person in the season to be nominated, and that was on Week 8! The fact that she was such a threat and aligned herself so well in the house that she was never nominated until the end of the game is impressive in itself. She's had her fair share of controversies and because of her countless HoH's that led to some horrible outcomes, it could bite her in the ass in the end. I think she has played a strong enough game to be respected for what she's done, and in my opinion. Yusun really deserves to win! If anyone is the front runner to win, it would be her! With the overviews out of the way, it's time to get into the action. All four of them have fought hard to get to this point, it could be anyone's game, let's get into this!


The next HoH Competition is Basketbrawl! Sadly, as the outgoing HoH, Coty is not able to compete! This HoH will secure the winners spot in the Final 3, where they will get to compete in the 3 Part HoH Competition. This HoH is crucial for survival this week!


Once again, Yusun proves to be a comp legend and wins her 5th HoH! This win secures her spot in Final 3 and she has nothing to worry about this week. For the other three, it all comes down to the PoV Competition, whoever wins that will secure their own safety and no matter what, the other two will be forced to face the vote. I Skipped HoH Campaigning here because it doesn't matter in Final 4, if they want to be safe they have to win the Veto Comp.

DAY 2 Actions/Conflicts/Alliances/Whim


Catch More Flies with Honey- Romantic sims are in the spotlight. Yusun and Raj gain +10 Friendship with the house!


Isabella has been annoying the house with her constant workout talk and nagging people about their diets. -10 Friendship with the house.


Raj tries to manipulate his way back into Isabellas good graces on a whim, but I think at this point, she's over his bullshit. No progress made.

DAY 2 ACTIONS END

DAY 2 Nomination Ceremony/Nominations


This was pretty obvious what Yusun was going to do. There are two clear alliances left in the house, so she's going to put up Isabella and Coty to spare her relationship with Raj for now.


Isabella knew it was coming. She has nothing to say, she just stays quiet.


Coty is pissed off and decides he's going to fight with Yusun. He seems to have something up his sleeve and is trying to make her look bad in front of Raj by calling out some of the things she's done with him behind closed doors. Coty just wants to shake them up going into the next Veto Comp and ruffle some feathers. Coty and Yusun are now in the red,

NOMINATIONS END


Because of the disgusting things he said, Yusun makes some inappropriate comments to rile up Isabella which leads to Coty getting slapped in the face for airing that dirty laundry in front of her. This destroys their romance points.


After that confrontation with Coty, Yusun is pisssssseeedddd. She finds Isabella in the kitchen and things get a little heated.


Isabella and Yusun start throwing insults at each other left and right. Was this Coty's plan, to antagonize Yusun into blowing up her own game? Because it seems to be working. Isabella is disgusted that Coty hooked up with Yusun, she's really upset about it.


Yusun seems to be wondering if choosing Raj was the best move for her game. He's put her in so many troubling situations and now she's on the outs with the other two. This could be awful for her if Raj isn't able to pull out the Veto Competition.


After some thought, Coty realized he may need Yusun's vote if she ends up in the Jury and decides to back track on some of his comments and apologize. He wants to repair their damaged relationship. It goes pretty well.

DAY 3 Actions/Conflicts/Alliances/Whim


 Isabella gets +10 Friendship with the house for keeping the house clean with her Snob Trait.


Raj loses -10 Friendship with the house for being Socially Awkward.


Raj forms a new alliance with Isabella and Coty. He's really covering his ass, he doesn't want to go home and after he realized Yusun was on the outs with them, it looks like he's trying to secure their Jury votes in the off chance that one of them is about to go home. He's so sneaky. +30 Friendship between them.


Coty gets a whim to try and get his romance back into the green with Isabella, but she's not having it. She's still pissed about the comments he made in the Nomination Ceremony.

DAY 3 ACTIONS END


Raj masterfully manipulates Isabella back into the green for romance and even gets their friendship in the 2 point range with an amazing conversation. Take notes Coty! This guy really knows how to work people in this game.


It's time for a Waterslide Veto Competition! The person who gets the most points from tricks will be the winner!! This Veto couldn't be more important, the winner will be safe from the vote and secure a spot in the Final 3. Let's find out who wins!


Coty and Isabella are tied! They have to go again to find out a winner! It's so intense! Either way, one of them is coming off the block, which means Raj will be facing the vote!


And Coty Wins it! Coty will be going to Final 3! That means the Nominees have already been decided and there's no reason to wait for the vote. We are getting right into the Veto Ceremony and the Final Vote/Eviction! Let's do it!

DAY 3 POV Ceremony/Nomination Rolls/Final Vote


It comes down to this. Because Coty saved himself from eviction with the Veto and Yusun is safe as the HoH, the only other two that are eligible to face the vote are Isabella and Raj. For their Nomination Rolls, they both stay quiet. They are smart enough not to ruffle any feathers right now. Let's see how this vote plays out!


For Isabella, she gets 2 Friendship Points from Coty.... Because of the drama with Yusun, her romance with Coty dropped into the red so she gets none from that. For Alliances, she is in a Strategy Alliance with Coty/Raj, A Chad/Chadette Alliance with Coty, A Drunk Alliance with Yusun and a Final 2 with Coty, giving her 8 Points. as for Charisma, Isabella is at a 10, giving her a total of 20 Points.


For Raj, he gets 2 Friendship Points from Coty... He also managed to keep Romance with Coty, giving him another point. For Alliances, Raj has a Social Butterflies Alliance with Yusun/Coty, a Strategy Alliance with Isabella/Coty and a 3 Oldies Alliance with Yusun, giving him 6 points there. Raj only has 7 Charisma, putting him at a total of 16 Points. Clearly not enough to beat Isabella. The Manipulator is out!


Toward the end of the game, Raj really started showing his true colors. A massive threat the entire game, he hid behind his Core Alliance and was basically untouchable. But after a handful of bad weeks for them, his alliance dwindled down and there was no where else to hide. Raj played an incredible game as a manipulator, but I think his blow ups on Malcolm and Paola didn't show him in the best light. It was starting to make people wonder if he was really as charming as he made himself seem. In my opinion this was his demise. WE ARE DOWN TO 3!! Are you #TeamIsabella #TeamCoty or #TeamYusun?! One of them will be the winner of Season 8!


The Final 3 are dolled up and ready to compete on Finale Night! The first competition will be luck based as they Pass The Bomb! The winner of this will move on to Part 3 automatically. The losers must face off in the 2nd Competition, which will be a Sculpture Challenge and for the Final Part, we're going Fishing. The first sim to catch 3 Fish will be the winner of this Final 3 Part HoH and will decide who they are taking to the end with them. This is so exciting, let's get right into it!


In the first round Coty is the first one out. Meaning it's a showdown between the two comp beasts. Who will move on to Round 3?!


After a long back and forth, the bomb explodes on Isabella and Yusun moves on to Part 3!! She has now officially broken the record of 7 comp wins with 8!! Yusun is a record holder! It's time to get into the 2nd part where Isabella and Coty must now face off. The loser of this challenge will be out of the running for HoH and must be picked to go to the Final 2!


The Final 2 Alliance is nervous, with Yusun now in the Final Round, that means they aren't guaranteed to win this HoH Competition. It's getting very tense in here, you can cut it with a knife. Both of them want this so bad!!


Coty wins it! Coty will be meeting Yusun in the Final Fishing Comp to decide HoH! Sadly, Isabella must wait and watch. If she wants to get to Final 2, someone will have to bring her. She's very disappointed in herself, she's been training so hard for this.


Coty and Yusun go head to head in the final competition of the season as Isabella watches on in pure fear. All Three of them are dead set on making it to Final 2, but someones dreams are about to be crushed. Who is our Final HoH?!


COMP QUEEN YUSUN DOES IT!!! She defies all odds and wins her 9th Competition of the Season! Incredible! Yusun beat out a Final 2, and she holds all the power. She must now bring the other two to the nomination block and decide who she wants to bring with her. This is a make or break decision that could win or cost her the game. What do you think she's going to do?!


Yusun looks to both of them and can tell they both really want this and have worked very hard for it. Because of Coty's blow up last week, he ruined their friendship and his chance of joining her in the end. Yusun's alliance with Isabella still stands and Yusun sole evicts Coty from the game. We have an all girl Final 2!!!


Coty was so close to the finish line! He was only seconds behind Yusun in catching a fish. One mishap with catching seaweed put him a little behind and that was the end of it. Coty was a great character, he played a lowkey but strategic game. Sadly, that unfortunate fight at Final 4 cost him his shot in the end. This late in the game, every tiny mistake can cost you. It's really sad for him, But the two sitting in there have worked so hard and either of them deserve to win just as much as he did. It was just so close! It could've went to anyone! I commend Coty for making it this far, I never would've guessed he could do it, considering his start.

THE FINAL 2


And here we are! They almost didn't make it here.. The drama with Coty really put a dent in this "Drunk Alliance" and their strong relationship that was very solid up to that point. The Girl Alliance kicked off an amazing friendship between Yusun and Isabella and they systematically won comps to ensure their safety as the girls had been getting picked off one by one. Either one of these ladies deserves to win. They played pretty similar games as competition threats but had much different roads to the finale. With Yusun protected by the Core Alliance, she was able to make moves without really being targeted, but for Isabella, she had to make bold and bloody moves to secure her place in the house. I think it's going to be a close one guys! Let's find out who wins!


The gorgeous jury returns to let their voices be heard. Tonight, each Jury Member will cast a vote for who they want to win this game and the person who gains the majority of the votes will be given an extra +3 Points to tack on to their Point Total.  (This does not decide the winner, it only gives a bonus. Friendship Points/Romance Points/Alliances/Charisma will play the biggest Factor in the overall scoring system.) Let's find out what the Jury thinks about the Final 2 and how they played this game.

THE JURY VOTES


Sidney was the first member of the Jury and hasn't been in the house for a while, but she is giving her Jury Vote to Isabella. With a 76 Friendship to her and only a 12 Friendship to Yusun. Sidney respects Isabella for the game she played, coming back from such a horrible disadvantage. She was very impressed by her gameplay and thinks she deserves to win. Isabella: 1 Yusun: 0


Malcolm is very salty about how things went down on his eviction night, and he thinks Isabella was smart to take him out. For someone to have the balls to target the Core Alliance when they are completely on the outs really impressed him. But Yusun completely turned on him and stabbed him in the back. Malcolm has a 29 Friendship to Isabella and a 22 Friendship to Yusun. Therefore his vote goes to Isabella. Isabella: 2 Yusun: 0


Chad Jr was very hurt by his best friends betrayal, he never in a million years thought that Yusun would put him on the block. They were close from the beginning and assumed they would go to the end together. But being the nice guy he is, he still cares for her and gives his vote to Yusun. He thinks she killed it in competitions and she deserves to win this game. Chad Jr has 53 Friendship with Yusun and 7 Friendship with Isabella.  Isabella: 2 Yusun: 1


Quentin hates both of them and is pissed that the girls actually made it to Final 2. But since he has to give someone a vote, he's going to give it to Isabella. Even though they were enemies, she was willing to put that aside for game and wanted to work with Quentin as he was going out the door. Quentin has 30 Friendship with Isabella and 0 Friendship with Yusun. Isabella: 3 Yusun: 1


Do we even need to ask who Paola is voting for? Paola HATES Yusun with a passion. They've been at each others throats the entire game. But on the flip side, she actually really liked Isabella and wanted to work with her further. They got along great. She has 72 Friendship with Isabella and 3 Friendship with Yusun. Isabella: 4 Yusun: 1 (With 7 Jury Votes, it's clear that Isabella will be receiving the +3 Majority Vote Bonus, but let's go ahead and see where the other votes lie.)


Raj is a gameplayer and respects gameplay. He isn't going to base his vote on his relationships because that's not how this game works. Raj thinks Yusun was great at comps but didn't make any moves with her HoH's. Her friends kept going home on her HoH's and he thinks Isabella made calculated moves. Therefore, his vote goes to her. He has 51 Friendship with Isabella and 37 Friendship with Yusun. Isabella: 5 Yusun: 1


No questions asked, Coty is going to support his ride or die to the end. They were the only Final 2 of the Season and had quite an amazing bond throughout the game. It's clear that his relationship with Yusun was not good in the end so let's just take a look at these friendships. Coty has 97 Friendship with Isabella and 3 Friendship with Yusun. Isabella: 6 Yusun: 1 Final Tally!!


It is very obvious Yusun made a lot of mistakes in this game and all the drama she was involved in angered the Jury, but that isn't what makes a winner. Her astounding competition wins and alliances could be enough to push her over the edge and still win this game. On the flip side, that +3 Points in Isabella's pocket could also be the deciding factor. Are you ready to find out who is going to win Season 8?!


For Yusun, she gets 6 Friendship Points and 1 Romance Point from Paola of all people... For Alliances, she's in 3 Oldies with Malcolm/Raj, Social Butterflies with Raj, and a Drunk Alliance with Isabella, giving her 6 Points. She's bringing in 9 Charisma and 9 Competition wins. She does not receive the Majority Vote Bonus so her total points is 31 Points! A very respectable amount of points. Do you think she can beat Isabella?!


For Isabella, she brings in an incredible 11 Friendship Points... She gets 2 Romance Points from Raj and Chad Jr. For Alliances she has a Drunk Alliance with Yusun, an Opposites Alliance with Chad Jr, a Chad/Chadette Alliance with Coty, a Strategy Alliance with Raj/Coty, and a Final 2 with Coty, giving her 10 Points. She brings 10 Charisma Points, 5 Competition Wins and receives the Jury Majority Vote of 3 Points. This brings her  to a total of 41 Points!


By a Final Score of 31 to 41, ISABELLA IS THE WINNER OF SEASON 8!! From Battle Back to Final 2, Isabella climbed her way up from nothing, clawing and fighting her way to the finish line. She made big moves and protected her own ass when she needed it most. She managed to completely turn around her friendships that were all in the red when she returned to the game and that kind of masterful gameplay deserves the win. Isabella deserved this 100%, she was an amazing player and I'm happy to add her to the Winner Circle!

I really hope you guy enjoyed this season as much as I did! I mentioned before I will be taking a little break before starting the next one, but I'd love any feedback you may have or just any thoughts you have on the season. Let me know on Twitter! Please don't spoil the winner! Also a big thanks to HollieBB for her amazing Big Brother Challenge that has completely reinvigorated my love for Sims Big Brother. I love it so much. Go give her all the love! She's an amazing streamer and person and This Season wouldn't have been possible without her!

  1. Sad to see Isabella win over Yusan. Yusan was central in the alliances/drama/competitions of the season and even though she made some miscalculations she was entertaining and really came to play! Isabella did well to get back into the game after her eviction but I don't feel she deserved the win over Yusan, still a great player though and she was one of the only people to see how much Malcolm and Raj were manipulating the house. Happy that Raj didn't make it to the end. His game was amazing throughout the first half of the season but he never recovered from Malcolm's eviction. Happy that Coty made it to Final Three, he did very well to go so far in the game after being a target for so long and made the right decision to leave the Core Alliance.

  2. Yusun was definitely proof that winning too much could be detrimental in the end. Because she was HoH so often, she hurt a lot of people on the jury and it destroyed her game. Sure she won an insane amount of competitions but the fact that her HoH's went so poorly almost every time, I feel it was deserved for her to be Runner Up. Isabella came back into the game with literally everyone in the red, so the fact that she turned it around the way she did was insanely impressive. I've never seen anything like it. THe only issue I had was that her skills turned out really OP from randomization, and she's the reason that I made sure Season 9 was wayyyy more balanced with no one having a maxed skill at the start.
