	Notable Events	Day 1 In an opening narration, Mirka Dragan says that she has been here since the beginning ... since 2009. She has watched the show evolve and she is so proud to be the host of the nation's best show. Mirka Dragan welcomes everybody to the 8th season of Big Brother Durnstaal. She announces that this season will see a record of 32 contestants and all of them ... are returnees. Yes, returnees from all seven previous seasons! Introductions will start from Season 7 first, followed by Season 6 and so on. Here are the houseguests returning from Season 7! From Season 7: Alzbeta Ruban: 10th out of 29 Alzbeta says that she was on Season 7 and made it to the Final 10 and she is so proud of herself for doing so. Many will know her for constantly causing drama as well as her fashion. Nina Scheller: 6th out of 29 Nina says that she just competed on Season 7 and it was an amazing experience. She is so happy to be back. Big Brother is something her brother and mom can bond over. Viliam Kriz: 7th out of 29 He says that his name is Viliam Henry Kriz, he is a Mechanical Design Drafter from Mesto Saint Gabriella and many will remember him as the villain of Season 7! From Season 6: Maryna Abkolv: 6th out of 24 She says that many will know her as Maryna Strnád but, a few months after Season 6, she got married. She is now Maryna Abkolv. She was known on Season 6 for being EXTREMELY outspoken. She hasn't changed and will not change for anybody. Radovan Skalicky: 8th out of 24 He says that he is Radovan Skalicky. On Season 6, he caused as much drama as he could and he was not afraid of anything to get the chaos he wanted. After a while, he started to really open up about himself and people really liked that. They saw him cause chaos and then they saw him be genuine. In the end, he made it to the final week but was the first one out in the Triple Eviction. Tina Dvorak: 5th out of 24 She says that her name is Tina Dvorak and many will remember her as being the mother of the house. Since the season, her children (Johann--18, Darina--16, Dusana--14, Tamara--12) have been constantly bragging about her. She loves being the cool mom. Since her season, she has kept in touch with Zhanna [Komar]. The two of them are very close friends. Mirka Dragan reveals that only six of the 32 houseguests will be introduced tonight. Day 2 More Introductions! From Season 5: Ander and Joel Falck: Sigmund Rutkowski: Silvia Grassl: 7th out of 26 She says that she is from one of the craziest seasons to ever exist of the show. Since her season, she has traveled the world and recently met her now-fiance. She has had a very lucky life and she is ready to bring her new experience into the Big Brother house. Day 3 More Introductions! From Season 4: Annika Rusnak: Finn Scheller: Mira Lindbergh: Ottilia Rozenkwit: Rose Kepler: Day 4 Big Brother tasks the houseguests to split up into the groups of their respective seasons. The group that fails to win the challenge will all face the viewers. However, Nina, Annika and Finn will all be immune this week for a very specific reason that will be revealed ... next week. They will still compete in this challenge, though. Season 5, ultimately, fails the challenge and faces the viewers. Big Brother tells the viewers that they are voting to give one person a power to Auto Nominate another houseguest next week but only from two specific groups. This doesn't count as an Eviction, nor a Fake Eviction. Day 5 Alzbeta discusses with Mira and Rose the importance of having a large following. She says that she hopes to do other Reality TV shows after this. Later, Mira and Rose discuss Alzbeta's fame going to her head. Day 6 More Introductions! From Season 3: Andre Kirschner: Anny & Joachim Koehler: Anny and Joachim are super, super excited to be playing Big Brother again. They both mention being even bigger fans of Reality TV, especially after being on it. Since being on the show, Joachim has been even more successful due to the fame. The family have moved from Chatham, Výchon to Durenko, Piva (Oblast) in 2013. They have been thinking of moving overseas at some point. Finja Mitter: 10th out of 18 She says that, when they last saw her, she was a 32 year old Biometrician who had had her second child only a year and a half ago. Now, she is 38, still doing amazing in her job and is a great mother to boot. It has been five years since she was inside the Big Brother house and she is so hyped to get back in. Reiner Hillebrand: Wobble Starck: Wobble says that, before Big Brother, he got a diploma for radio broadcasting and just got into podcasting over the past two years. Since his time on the show, he is a much more well known podcaster, he got married three years ago and he and his wife, recently, had a kid. Day 7 It is revealed that the viewers were not voting to evict somebody but, rather, to give them an advantage going into next week. From Season 5, they have chosen Sigmund to receive this advantage. Sigmund is able to Auto Nominate another houseguest next week but only from two specific groups with the first being Season 5. As Seasons 7 and 6 were the first two teams to finish the challenge, that leaves Season 4 as the other group. Sigmund chooses to auto nominate Mira Lindbergh with his reasoning being that she has won before. Big Brother then reveals that going into next week, as Season 7 won the challenge, Alzbeta, Nina and Viliam are all immune. Everybody else, even Sigmund, is vulnerable.
