The eighth season of the Australian reality television series, Big Brother, also known as Big Brother 2008, began on 28 April 2008 and was the final season to air on Network Ten during its original run on the network. A total 20 housemates competed in the show. Halfway through the show, the prize money was revealed to be $250,000, the amount originally given in the earlier season of the show.
This season introduced Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O as the new hosts, replacing Gretel Killeen, who had previously hosted the show since its launch. It also featured the return of an adult-themed weekly installment titled Big Mouth. The season featured a new voice for Big Brother, provided by Leon Murray. Compared to Nick Colquhoun's stricter and more authoritarian tone in the 2005–2007 seasons, Murray adopted a more lenient and approachable style. Murray later returned to provide the voice of Big Brother when the series moved to Network 10 for the 2012–2014 seasons, maintaining a similarly more relaxed and less punitive approach.
