The eighth season of the reality game show Pinoy Big Brother, subtitled Otso (Spanish for eight), aired on ABS-CBN for 268 days from November 10, 2018 to August 4, 2019, replacing Star Hunt: The Grand Audition Show, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim and The Kids Choice and was replaced by Gangnam Beauty, Encounter, the second season of I Can See Your Voice and iWant Originals.

Four batches of housemates, two civilian adults and two teenager groups, compete to be the winner of their respective batches. By the fifth batch, all finalists from each batch return to compete for eight slots in the finale. The show concluded with Yamyam Gucong being declared as the winner of the whole season.^[1][2][3]

This was the longest season of Pinoy Big Brother yet, having reached 268 days—surpassing Lucky 7 by 32. This season is the third longest season of Big Brother worldwide and also had the second highest number of housemates in a season (58), trailing Big Brother Germany’s fifth and sixth seasons, which lasted for 365 and 363 days respectively, and had 59 housemates each.

Auditions for this season has been part of Star Hunt: The Grand Kapamilya Auditions, ABS-CBN's auditions caravan, which started on April 20, 2018.^[4] 55,373 auditionees took part,^[5] auditioning for other upcoming reality shows like The Voice of the Philippines, Pilipinas Got Talent, and World of Dance Philippines. Several potential housemates have been featured in Star Hunt's companion show.

Pinoy Big Brother: Otso Gold returned as a companion show on November 12, 2018, as part of the Kapamilya Gold block. A house livestream also aired on iWant and TFC Online. An additional online companion show called PBB Bring 8 On!, which streamed simultaneously with the primetime TV program, also aired live via show's various social media accounts; it was hosted by Dawn Chang of Pinoy Big Brother: 737, Fifth Solomon of Pinoy Big Brother: All In, and Pamu Pamorada of Pinoy Big Brother: Unlimited.^[5]

An online show, YouthTube, which was hosted by Robi Domingo and Bianca Gonzales commenced on November 22, 2018. It talked about the different issues that arose in the house, particularly in the first batch of teen housemates.

The Otso in the season title is a Filipino language rendering of the Spanish word ocho ("eight"), indicating the season number. This season saw another logo change from the previous season: an eye logo using motifs from the Philippine flag (from which producers customized the new generic eye logo of Big Brother), atop the show's title and enclosed by an outline of a house. The adaption of the new generic franchise logo is the first among all the franchises worldwide.^[6]

The weekday primetime program of the show aired at 10:00 p.m. on weekdays after the last primetime teleserye in the primetime program block of the network. An afternoon edition titled Pinoy Big Brother: Otso Gold aired at 5:15 p.m. after Los Bastardos.

The weekend primetime program was originally aired at 7:30 p.m. during the batch 1 teens; however, after the first season of I Can See Your Voice ended, Pinoy Big Brother: Otso moved its timeslot to 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 9:30 p.m. on Sundays in order to give the timeslot to World of Dance Philippines since the batch 2 adults.

This season showed a major revamp in the house layout. On September 7, 2018, Director Laurenti Dyogi made a vlog about the reconstruction of the house.^[7] The new house design was unveiled on November 7, 2018, during its house blessing.^[8] Several housemates from previous seasons have visited the house and have taken pictures for their social media accounts. Official house photos were released on their Facebook page on November 10, 2018.^[9] The management opened its doors to 888 visitors to tour the House for eight minutes on November 10, 2018.

From his livestream, Dyogi has stated that the show has upgraded to using HD PTZ cameras,^[5] making Otso the first season to fully broadcast in high definition and in 16:9 aspect ratio (Lucky 7's Vietnam leg was shown in 16:9, but the show reverted to 4:3 upon the housemates' return to the Philippines. The one-way mirror system, used in earlier seasons for cameramen to capture events in the house, was no longer present.^[10]

Toni Gonzaga and Robi Domingo reprised their roles as hosts.^[11] Alex Gonzaga, who hosted All In, returned to the show together with former winners Kim Chiu and Melai Cantiveros as new hosts. Bianca Gonzalez reprised her role as host upon the entry of Batch 2 Star Dreamers.^[12]

As revealed during the announcement of the batch winners, each batch winner will receive ₱100,000.^[3] On the other hand, the ultimate winner would take home ₱2,000,000 (₱1,000,000 from Miniso and ₱1,000,000 from the show), a condominium unit Suntrust Asmara from Suntrust Properties, Inc.,^[13] a water refilling station business package worth ₱800,000, and a travel package worth ₱300,000 from Jag Jeans.^[1][14][15] The runner-up would receive ₱500,000 and a condominium unit from Suntrust Properties, Inc; the third and fourth placers would receive ₱300,000 and ₱200,000, respectively. ₱100,000 would be given to the fifth to eighth placers.^[14] Yen Quirante won a condominium unit from Suntrust Properties, Inc. during the third Pinoy Big Batch-Bakan.^[16]

Since its official announcement on October 20, 2018, much information about this season has not been made public until November 9, 2018, when Dyogi discussed its details on a livestream.^[5]

Four batches of housemates, civilians, and teenagers, came into the House in alternating order, starting with the teens. Each batch would comprise only eight official housemates. At the beginning of each batch's stay, 16 shortlisted contestants, known in the show as Star Dreamers, would take part in different tasks to determine who will be given housemate status, until eight are chosen. Star Dreamers who were unsuccessful in getting a spot in the House are sent to Camp Star Hunt, where they would be given tasks to determine among them the next person to be an official housemate. Every eviction, as one official housemate goes, a new one from the Camp takes their place. A new Star Dreamer will be introduced to the Camp, returning the number of housemates and Star Dreamers to eight. This is repeated for 6 weeks. By the seventh week, housemates would be participating in challenges or face the public vote, as part of the eviction process, until four are left. The public, then, decides, from the four, who they want to win for that batch. By the end of 8 weeks, the current batch leaves the House, and a batch winner is crowned, although the results were concealed until three more batches have gone through the same process.^[17][18] Once all batches are done, all batch winners would come back to the House, along with four more housemates from previous batches, chosen by the public, to form the final eight housemates who would battle to win the season.^[19]

This format was followed through on the batch 1. However, significant format changes were put in place as the show went on. By batch 2, Big Brother decided who would be an official housemate, and the housemates' stay was extended to 88 days—from the original 8 weeks or 56 days. By batch 3, all Star Dreamers eventually became housemates, entering the House by groups until Day 156. By batch 4, Camp Star Hunt was dropped, and the batch started with 12 official housemates, exiting the House via eviction without a replacement, and the housemates' stay was only 6 weeks—from the original 8 weeks or 56 days. By the Ultim8 Batch, all batch finalists returned, making the starting number of 16 housemates. The public did not decide who would return for this batch.

Aside from the twist to the show's format, the following are the highlighted twists that had occurred during the run of this season.

• Star Dreamers and Camp Star Hunt – On the launch night, 16 potential shortlisted contestants, called Star Dreamers, were introduced on the live launch wherein they must undergo through the housemate selection process twist in order to earn housemate status. Only eight of these Star Dreamers would become official housemates. Those who failed the cut, were housed in the Camp Star Hunt. These Star Dreamers would then battle between themselves by earning points in order to replace those housemates evicted weekly. The introduction of these Star Dreamers continued up to the third batch; upon the entry of the fourth batch, no more Star Dreamers were introduced.
• Housemates vs. Star Dreamers
• 2-in-1 Housemate – Two housemates who are related biologically are joined as one competing housemate, as assigned by Big Brother.

To disrupt normal selection processes in nominations, evictions, and even the finale to the determine the final four, Big Brother had given housemates several challenges of different formats for the five batches. For nominations and evictions, it had the Do-or-Die LigTask, The Duel, The Golden Circle and The Black Circle. For housemates to advance to the top group of any given batch, they had the Big Jump Challenge, Pinoy Big Batch-Bakan, and the Ultim8 Challenge.

This season's theme song is "Otso Na" performed by co-hosts Toni and Alex Gonzaga where most elements (including the chorus) from Orange and Lemons's "Pinoy Ako," the franchise's theme song, were included in the song.^[20]

The season's eviction theme song was performed by Moira Dela Torre entitled "Before It Sinks In", written by herself and was part of her debut studio album Malaya.

On launch night on Days 1 and 2, official housemates were determined, from the chosen Star Dreamers from Star Hunt, through a series of challenges, by the council, and by the public. The council consists of past winners: Season 1's Nene Tamayo, Celebrity 1's Keanna Reeves, Celebrity 2's Ruben Gonzaga, Teen Edition Plus's Ejay Falcon, Teen Edition 4's Myrtle Sarrosa, All In's Daniel Matsunaga, 737's Jimboy Martin, and Lucky 7's Maymay Entrata. On Day 2, three winners from the council were replaced by three ex-housemates: All In's Loisa Andalio, 737's Barbie Imperial, and Lucky 7's Edward Barber. The public chose a housemate through voting; the one with the most votes will become a housemate.

Note that the term crossover, as used in the show, meant that the Star Dreamer had officially been an official housemate. However, in the case of Kim and Camille of batch two, they were still considered Star Dreamers when they crossed over to the House on Day 62. They eventually became official housemates on Day 68 upon the outcome of Pinoy Big Battle. No cross-overs had happened after The Gr8 C from batch three as the Camp had been abandoned.

This is the list of 88-second challenges for the first batch of teen housemates:

• #1: Star Dreamers must throw two balls on a string on to three level bars. Each bar corresponds to 1 point, 2 points, and 3 points. Each stringed balls that hung on to a corresponding bar are points added to their score. The one with the most points wins.
• #2: Star Dreamers must pick balls, corresponding to their assigned color, from a pool to a container. Each ball is 1 point added to their score. If they put a colored ball that is different from their assigned color, 1 point will be deducted to their score. The one with the most points wins.
• #3: Star Dreamers must stack water-filled bottles. The one with the highest level wins.
• #4: Star Dreamers must transfer balls through a relay course by balancing them on a plate. A big ball counts as 2 points, and a small one counts as 1 point. The one with the most points wins.

Notes

For Star Dreamers that didn't make the cut, they would be sent to the Camp. For them to crossover to the house, the team and individual scores of each will be added to determine their final points. The top four Star Dreamers with the most points will be up for public voting to determine who will become an official housemate. Once a Star Dreamer gets promoted as a housemate, another will come as their replacement.

• #1: Star Dreamers must prepare, and sell street foods for one hour. The team with the highest revenue gets higher points as a team. Individual points are also given based on their attitude and determination during the task.
• #2: Star Dreamers are tasked to create a fitness dance routine that will be taught to the public.
• #3: Star Dreamers must be able to buy junk materials with their given budget.
• #4: Star Dreamers are to create parols.
• #5: Star Dreamers are to write, act, and direct a short film, guided by Ces Quesada.

On January 6 and 7, sixteen Star Dreamers entered the Camp, which was divided into Camp A and Camp B. They were divided into two groups, and had undergone the Ultimate Star Dreamer Challenge. After the challenge, Big Brother chose eight official housemates.

On this batch, Big Brother introduced the process of dismissal. A Star Dreamer would be up for dismissal if they belonged to the losing group of a challenge for three consecutive times. The other safe Star Dreamers would vote on who they want to stay in the Camp; the Star Dreamer with the fewest votes would be dismissed. On the fifth challenge, Patrick was the only one up for dismissal, so he was dismissed immediately, and no voting took place.

On Day 55, Shawntel and Thea crossed over to the Big Brother House as the official housemates; it was revealed that after this crossover, there will be no new additional Star Dreamers that would enter the Camp. Later on, Aljur Abrenica entered the Camp as a Celebrity Star Player.^[53]

On Day 62, evicted housemates Abi, JC, Tori, and Wakim entered the Camp to become House Challengers, together with the other Star Dreamers.

• #1: Star Dreamers are to form the provided illustration of a key by stacking crayons.
• #2: Star Dreamers are to run a carinderia and must sell their chosen dishes to the public. The team with the highest sales and with a point from the carinderia manager wins the task. Prior to the task, they must prepare and serve their dishes to the housemates for a taste test.
• #3: Star Dreamers are to do housekeeping in a hotel. The points they receive will be added to their next job which is to run a flower shop. This is for the wedding of Mitch and Dudz.
• #4: Star Dreamers are to run a free hair and make-up salon.
• #5: Star Dreamers are to become kiddie party entertainers.
• #6: Star Dreamers are to become wet market fish vendors.
• #7: Star Dreamers are to become water aerobics instructors.

Note

Batch one participated in Decem-versus, and the mechanics are as follows: there are three challenges they have to go through, and the teams must race to win two out of three. If the housemates got defeated by Camp Star Hunt, there would be a double eviction and two Star Dreamers would crossover. If the housemates win, no double eviction will happen. On Day 33, Ali, Reign, and Rhys, who are originally from Camp Star Hunt, took the chance to help the Camp, leaving the five other housemates to compete in the second challenge. On Day 34, after the housemates lose their second challenge, the Camp had an 88-second advantage on their third challenge. On Day 36, Ali, Reign, and Rhys were given a chance to change their decision. Rhys was the only one who returned help the housemates. Edward Barber and Maymay Entrata entered the House to help the housemates. While the Camp won two out of three, the housemates were declared winners of Decem-versus, and no double eviction happened. The reason for this decision is unknown.

Batch two participated in Pinoy Big Battle. If the housemates win, all of them will be immune from eviction; otherwise, two Star Dreamers will crossover. Prior to the announcement of the first battle, Big Brother informed Shawntel and Thea that they will be separated during the final battle: one would stay with the housemates, and the other would be sent to help the Star Dreamers. The housemates, then, chose Shawntel to help the Star Dreamers. For the second battle on Day 68, Camille and Kim learned that they weren't officially housemates yet, and would only become one after the battle. They were tasked to lead the Housemates for the second battle, while Shawntel and Andre were sent to Camp Star Hunt to lead them respectively. Grace and Kin replaced them for the battle.

Note

On Day 7 of the Ultim8 Batch, it was revealed that the four batches will have to battle their way to earn the remaining 4 slots of the Big 8 (Big Otso, as referred by the show) through a series of elimination challenges called the Pinoy Big Batch-Bakan. In every Big 8 slot, the batches will undergo a series of challenges until one batch emerges as the winner. With the exception of the batch winner, the members of the winning batch will then be voted by the public in order to determine the housemate who will get one of the Big 8 slots. The fifth, sixth and seventh slots were filled in this manner.^[60]

Batch-Bakan Challenge for the 5th Big 8 slot
1	July 14 (Day 8)	Round 1 Within 45 minutes, the Big 4 of each batch had to shoot a ball in the correct hole by controlling a hanging table maze using the ropes provided. The first three batches with the highest number of balls shot will advance to the next round.	All Batches	Batch 2 (21 points) Batch 4 (21 points) Batch 1 (14 points)	Batch 3 (11 points)
2	July 15 (Day 9)	The Blind Maze While blindfolded and seated on the floor, each Batch had to collect as many balls as they can while traversing through a maze. If a batch failed to reach the end of the maze after an hour, they will be given a penalty—a deduction of 8 balls from the balls they have collected. They are only allowed to carry the balls within their arms and hands; any other methods or techniques were prohibited. The team with the fewest balls will be eliminated.

3	July 17 (Day 11)	The Giant Dice Each batch must carry and balance a giant dice by holding their respective stick poles while carefully crossing an obstacle. At the end of the obstacle, they have to throw the big dice to a designated platform to correctly match in the right order the three individual dice numbers given. For the last dice number, the batch winner per batch will have to sit out from game, leaving only the three members to finish the said challenge. The first team to match all three dice numbers in the correct order wins the challenge and will have the chance to take the 5th Big Otso throne via public voting.	Batch 1 Batch 2	Batch 2	Batch 1
Batch-Bakan Challenge for the 6th Big 8 slot1
4	July 18 (Day 12)	Memory Race, Part 1 (for the teens) A picture set is given to a member of the team, wherein he has to memorize the items and place the said items in a designated area. for them to get the items, they have to use and wear a pair of a long wooden plank of slippers with ropes attached on it. The items must be placed in the exact order. There will be three rounds to this challenge: easy, average, and difficult. For the easy round, they will get one point for every picture set they have arranged correctly. On the other hand, for the average and difficult rounds, they will get two and three points, respectively. The points accumulated by the teen batches will be used by their respective adult partner batches for their own Pinoy Big Batch-Bakan round.	Batch 1 Batch 3	Batch 1 (17 points)	Batch 3 (1 point)
		Memory Race, Part 2 (for the adults) From the starting area, a team member must run towards the wired fence place on the other side of the activity area wherein 44 items used in the first round are placed on the opposite side of the fence. The housemate must then retrieve one item using only one's fingers towards the top part of the fence. First batch to retrieve all the items will win the round and will face their teen batch partner in the next round. Note that the points garnered by the partner teen batches will be used to deduct the number of items the adult batches will have to retrieve. As to Batch 2, they will have to retrieve 43 out of 44 items; while Batch 4 will have to retrieve 27 out of 44 items.	Batch 2 Batch 4	Batch 42	Batch 2
5	July 20 (Day 14)	Memory Race, Part 3 Each batch has to retrieve eight bags using their fingers from the other side of a wired fence (the same wired fence used in the previous challenge). However, in this round, to get the bags, they have to follow a path. The said path is divided into several levels; on every level, a member per batch should continue in moving the bag until the last member moves the bag to the end of the path. If the bag drops, they have to start again from the lowest level of the path. Once they completed collecting all the bags, they have to untie all of these bags and retrieve the eight numbers. Once all the numbers have been retrieved, they have to add them all up mentally—they are not allowed to use anything, other than their mental capability, to help them solve the mathematical challenge. If they feel that they have the correct number, they have to raise their flag and proceed to the confession room to tell Big Brother their answer. If the batch is correct, they'll win the challenge; if they are wrong, they will have to wait for 8 minutes to give their another answer.3	Batch 1 Batch 4	Batch 1	Batch 4
Batch-Bakan Challenge for the 7th Big 8 slot
6	July 21 (Day 15)	Round 1 Each member must transfer a ball by rolling it at the one end of a roof-like platform and catch the said ball at the other end without letting the ball bounced off from the platform. A member will have to go back to the starting line if the ball falls while rolling without reaching the other end of the platform or bounces off. If he is successful, he has to place the said ball to a designated container; once done, another member will have to do the same until all the balls are transferred. A batch is given three choices of balls: a basketball (1 point), a billiard ball (2 points), and a rubber ball (3 points). Any member of a batch may choose any kind of ball, but they are still required to completely transfer all the balls to the container within an hour. A batch who fails to transfer all the balls, or who has the longest time to transfer all the balls, or who has the fewest points will be eliminated from the challenge.	All Batches	Batch 1 Batch 2 Batch 4	Batch 3
7	July 23 (Day 17)	Tumba Table One at a time, each member of each batch had to place either a small block or a big block on a hanging unstable table. If ever a block falls or tumbles on or off the table, they will have to restock their blocks from the start. The batch with the most blocks in a certain amount of time given wins the challenge, and the members of the winning batch will have a chance to win the 7th throne. Separately, they will also have a chance to win a condominium unit.[16]	Batch 1 Batch 2 Batch 4	Batch 2 (47 blocks)	Batch 1 (43 blocks) Batch 4 (0 block)
Bonus	July 24 (Day 18)	Endurance Challenge The members of the winning batch will have to stood on three separate level footrests against two walls. As instructed by Big Brother, they will have to move to the lower pair of footrests and, later, to the lowest pair at certain points, testing their endurance. The lower the level is, the smaller the footrests gets. The last standing housemate wins a condominium unit.[16]	Andre Lou Karina Yen	Yen4	Karina4 Lou Andre

Notes

For the eighth and final throne, there are no elimination rounds. Instead, all batches will play in all rounds, and are ranked accordingly. The batch with the most points are eligible for the final throne. If Andre wins the challenge he automatically gets the throne, making the rest evicted. But if there is a tie between a batch or batch 1, 3, and 4 win, a vote will be done to see who will win.

The challenge will be time based, thus, the batch that will finish the challenge first gets the most points. The batch that will finish last, or fails to finish the challenge within the time given will get the fewest points.	4	6	2	8
9	July 26 (Day 20)	Round 2 In this round, only the four batch winners were allowed to participate in the challenge. They were required to make their own makeshift sticks or poles to retrieve billiard balls. Once a billiard ball is retrieved, they will have to transfer them to a fenced area where tubes are placed in the wall; they will have to shoot the balls into the said tubes. The most balls shot into the tubes will earn the most points.	6	4	2	8
10	July 26–27 (Days 20-21)	Round 3 The members who had yet to earn a spot for the Big 8 were separated from the House. They were moved to the Activity Area wherein they will have to compete for the last two remaining rounds. For this round, each batch must transfer a billiard ball using half-open tubes placed on a path figured as a number eight. The first batch to transfer a billiard ball within two minutes wins the highest number of points.	6	8	2	4
11	July 27 (Day 21)	Round 4 For the last round, all members of each batch (including those who had already earned a spot in the Big 8) were eligible to participate. Each batch must pass around a billiard ball using handheld platforms around the 8 figure path used in the earlier round and shoot the said billiard ball in the color coded tube designated to each batch. The batch with the most billiard balls shot in their respective tubes, wins the most points.	4	8	2	6

The Ultim8 Big Otso Housemates were subjected to another series of challenges to determine the Ultim8 Big 4. A day after the Big Otso was revealed, it was announced that the public was only given 50% of the penultimate vote to decide the Ultim8 Big 4. The other 50% was determined by 100 Gold Bars representing 1% each. Housemates would earn the Golden Bars through a series of challenges.^[61]

In the third and fourth challenges, there were finite sets of available bars. Big Brother told the Housemates to agree on a sequence among themselves since the tasks could only be performed by one of them at a time. If there were still available bars at the end of a round, the Housemates would play for the remaining bars in the same sequence. Conversely, the supply of gold bars may run out before the remaining Housemates ever had a chance to play; if this occurs, they would not be able to obtain any bar. The Housemates agreed on the same sequence for both rounds, which is: Ashley, Kaori, Lie, Fumiya, Yamyam, Lou, Kiara, Andre.

Challenge No.	Date given	Golden Bars in Challenge		Challenge title and description
		Available	Earned
1	July 29–30 (Day 23–24)	25	15	First Round Using the materials provided, the housemates must build a pole to retrieve the golden bars hanging from an apparatus shaped like the number 'eight' from a certain distance. The special task was still active during the challenge, so the Housemates must still remain on the Big Otso platform. Only two housemates may attempt to retrieve the gold bars at a time and any gold bars that are dropped on floor are out of play.[21][62]
2	July 31 (Day 25)	35	35	Second Round In seven rounds, the housemates must pull towards them a lace with a certain number of stacked golden bars placed on it. If a stack tumbles down before reaching the finish line, they will have to restack them and start over from the starting line. Once a housemate had successfully pulled the lace to his finish line without tumbling the stacked golden bars, that round automatically ends. The winning housemate per round, except for the sixth and seventh rounds, will have the power to sit out two housemates from playing the challenge in the succeeding round. The first round will have two stacked golden bars; another bar will be added per round.[21][63]
3	August 1 (Day 26)	50	50	Level-up Round To gain a golden bar, each of the housemates must use a pair of sticks to bring two bars (first must be a bar with his/her batch color and another with a gold bar) and stack them together at the top of hanging circular maze. After stacking two bars, they must count for three seconds before attempting to try to stack another pair of bars. They are given only 15 minutes to finish this challenge.[21][64]
Penalties		-15		Violation Before the first round was given, the housemates were informed that every time each of them steps outside the Big Otso platform, a golden bar will be deducted from them. At this certain day, Big Brother announced the number of violations incurred per housemate; per violation means one gold bar deducted from each of them.[21]
4	August 2 (Day 27)	15	15	Recovery of the Confiscated Golden Bars Together, all of the housemates must stand on a small square platform without letting their feet touch the floor. For every minute they stay on top of the platform, a golden bar will be recovered.
				Last Round At the start of the challenge, each housemate was informed by Big Brother that the golden bars they will retrieve will not be added to their individual total but to other housemates of their choice. Knowing such condition, they were asked if they will still do the challenge or not. If they will do the challenge, each of the housemates must transfer a number of gold bars of their choice towards a glass bowl. To enable to transfer the golden bars, such bars must be placed on top of another set of seven black bars horizontally joined together by two fingers, one at each end. They only have eight minutes to take the challenge and it depends on how many bars they want to transfer.

On Day 27, within 88 minutes after the eviction night episode, the housemates and the public voted in whether Apey & Mark should continue as a 2-in-1 housemate. The housemates received 50% of the vote while the public got the other 50%. The table below was the official results of the poll and was revealed on Day 28. However, Apey & Mark were earlier informed of the possible split of the two. They were briefed that after 88 minutes, the two will know the results through the lamp posts placed in the pool area. With one already lit, if another lamp post will be lit, it would mean that they will be separated as individual housemates. After the said period, the second lamp posts were lit indicating their separation from being a 2-in-1 housemate.

Should Apey & Mark continue as a 2-in-1 Housemate?
