Production
Edit
As the 8th season of Finale, Cirque Du Soleil was originally planned to take place in Atlantis, however, after a failed attempt, the location was scrapped. After a roughly four month hiatus from All-Stars, Finale spontaneously returned for the next season, which was held in the famous tourist trap, Cirque Du Soleil.
The season went relatively well, with a solid cast and well-planned challenges. However, the season is remembered for its dysfunctional cast and last-second rule altercations. According to the host, Cirque Du Soleli lands somewhere in the ranks of Broadway and Yukon.
Twists/Changes
Edit
- Double Elimination - Episodes which include two players going home in one Finale.
- Auction - A physical challenge is replaced by an auction, in which players can buy Rewards, Punishments, Immunity, and other luxury items.
- Fallen Comrades - A twist in which the final 3 take a portion of time before the final elimination to remember those that they either directly or indirectly eliminate. Contestants are led on a trail holding a post for each previously eliminated contestant. When players reach a post, they are expected to comment on the fallen contestant.
