### Season 8

The eighth season aired from January 7 to June 16, 2020\. Beau Clark was promoted from recurring cast member to series regular; Max Boyens, Brett Caprioni, and Dayna Kathan were introduced as series regulars; and Charli Burnett, Danica Dow, and Brett Willis are introduced as recurring cast members. Randall Emmett made guest appearances in the season.

Due to the [COVID\-19 pandemic](/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic"), the reunion was recorded virtually via [Zoom](/wiki/Zoom_%28software%29 "Zoom (software)") on April 30, 2020\.

On June 9, 2020, it was announced original cast members Kristen Doute and Stassi Schroeder had been fired following accusations by former co\-star Faith Stowers. Stowers said Doute and Schroeder had filed a false police report against her for a crime she did not commit. Additionally, it was announced that Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni would not return for the ninth season in light of the resurfacing of past [Twitter](/wiki/Twitter "Twitter") posts that included racist commentary.

On December 4, 2020, Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright were also fired from the show.
