If you're unsure of a viewing order, I say start with the newbies and then follow the trail of bodies.

Pearl really said: "Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?"

Welcome to Hermitcraft. Where a boat cult is started, everyone bullies Scar for his hat, most people build with copper and Cleo murders the new members.

Proximity chat seems to really be encouraging groups to form, when two hermits meet it's less "crouch and say hi" and more "We should go steal the declaration of independence" which of course is a bond for life.

"Only watched Grian and Mumbo before?" God I feel attacked lmfao

For the new viewers: as demonstrated with the starter bases, do not compare yourselves with the Hermits in terms of progress, especially if you are on single player.

“Hey Guys, I Paid Cleo To Kill Bdubs Come Watch” -Scar 2021

13:24 "Builds a tiny house." "...." "Anyway, here's wonderwall"

'reasons known only to himself' We all know Grian wants it to make a lamp.

I'm loving how many collaborative teams have formed so far. The shenanigans will be epic!

You can just hear the excitement in his voice when he stays “in this season of Hermitcraft”

Goodness pix is legit filming empires and a hardcore survival guide too hope he gets to a million soon

“I mean sure, but All I see is a snake holding a stopwatch” “Excitedly vlog about how evil he is” I am dying lol! You guys are hilarious

I love how some of the Hermits who participated in Third Life SMP still kept the murderous habits. LMAO. Can’t wait for the rest of the season!

Mumbo: “it’s the Boatem Pole!” Literally everyone: He is the Messiah!

My favorite part has to be Doc finding a book of dark magic, it was spooky

"before he turns it into a lamp" is the best line in the video

We should all just take a moment of apprecation for what these people do for us every week. Thank you for the amazing recaps.

you can just tell pixlriffs is smiling the entire time that he voices these videos, which in turn ( and I am going to take a guess here) makes a lot of us smile.

“This season... on Hermitcraft” I can’t describe how happy this makes me

This season I have given myself the challenge of not watching Grian and rather watching some of the less subscribed hermits. So far its been a blast!

Can’t wait to keep up with the hermits this season!!

Challenge: Start by Watching One hermit, For every Hermit they directly Interact with you watch that hermit as well(Episode 1 and large scale multi-hermit events don't count cause everyone is there.)

Hey Zloy and Pixilriff! Just wanted to tell you guys are doing an amzing job! Keep it up!

“All I can see is a snake holding a stopwatch” NO HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME

I still can't believe that Grian didn't knew that he can break the egg with torch instead of using pistons...

The excitededness in his voice when he says “in this season of hermitcraft” instead of “this week on hermitcraft” is so awesome

It was the most appropriate thing, I saw your "Hermit's Watch" comment on Zed's video, and him talking about the pitch drop experiment along with my own curiosity. I suddenly found myself watching the live feed of the aforementioned experiment, which I will point out is called "The Tenth Watch" as the next drop in the experiment will be the tenth drop. The only way it would have been more appropriate would have been if it was Season 10. But the next drop isn't expected to fall for another 8 years, so there's that.

2:00 Has anyone else noticed that BDub's new skin has a clock on it??? I haven't seen his vid yet, so I have no clue if he's mentioned it, but that is a fun detail

Not until I heard the mention of TFC, did I realise I didn't see him present for the gathering at the start :(

Let me tell you people GeminiTay is a very fun person to watch, yes I’ve watched her before hermit craft.

I love how the nature of "Third Life" is stuck into HermitCraft

I'm just gonna say, I'm lovin the proximity chat. Plus, they probably have the option to just keep silent, so there's that too. Sometimes discord, zoom, whatever you use just doesn't do it.

I’ve started watching about 10 different hermits this season

You know people were expecting pearl to come in hermitcraft but not geminiTay

I generally watch 15-17 Hermits each season. I found the server back at the start of Season 6finity and fell in love with these colorful weirdos. So happy to be along for the ride this time. Thank you, Pixelriffs and Zloy, for the amazing recap show!

I love watching Hermit recap as a refresh of everything before the next week of hermit videos, also because I started watching it I got interest in other hermits as well as seeing some on the own hermit's channels, I started with Grian, then Mumbo, then Scar, Iskall and Stress and then Keralis and Cleo, recently dtarted watching Ren and soon also Impulse because I'm watching Ren's whole last season.

5:44 can't unsee that now LMAO

The, "anyways, here's Wonderwall" was great

"Anyway, here's Wonderwall!" This gives us Guitarists PTSD 😂

I'm surprised you were able to get a video out this quickly, at this rate it's going to take me a week to get through all the episode ones. As for Hermits to watch, I try to watch most of them (as time permits) but if I had to pick favorites they'd be Tango, Zedaph and Cubfan. I've particularly been enjoying Tango and Zed's Create Mod series between seasons, and hope they continue it.

Thanks for the disclaimer about how you should watch the smaller hermits too, since obviously the hermitcraft recap is stealing a lot of viewers from the smaller channels because people just watch the recap to see what they did.

yay been waiting for this for the whole day

This is honestly put together so insanely well! 👏🏻

I know no one really cares, but these are the hermits ive watched in season 6: -Grian These are the hermits I watch now: -Grian -PearlescentMoon -Mumbo Jumbo -Iskall85 -Keralis -TangoTek -XisumaVoid -Bdubs -GoodTimesWithScar -RenDog Yeah... the times have definitely changed

I might continue watching the few Hermits i've been keeping tracks on (Grian, Mumbo, Scar, and Iskall as they seem to usually have something to do with a lot of the shenaniganry on the server) and maybe Pearlescent Moon as I've seen her previously on Grians older videos and am interested to see how she interacts with the other hermits going forward

you have no idea how happy hearing your intro again has made me this was EXCELLENT. excited for season 8!

0:10 just to be clear this wasn't supposed to be a horror scene

"None of those awful punching trees and gathering diamomd rusbbish" -mumbojumbo 2021

"Excitedly vlog about how evil he is" That line caught me very off guard, there's Coke all over my monitor now. XD

Zloy's seamless writing never ceases to amaze me xD And that splendid writing is brought to life very nicely by Pixlriff! What a powerful duo! Thank you so much for the recap :D

Scar is getting people to kill each other Scar and Grian have teamed up Ren has a follower with green as a major part of the skin Grian is already on Ren's bad list Bdubs and Tango are teamed up Are we sure this is just Hermitcraft, or did some of 3rd Life leak over?

This _has_ to be the most chaotic start to a season we've seen yet

Starting with a Fallout New Vegas reference, amazing :D

"the world outside the continent will be reset" Moon: imma bout to ruin this man's whole career

It’s called “casting” a nether portal, otherwise, it gets confused with “lava casting” a form of griefing used to create a cobble monster

Yaaay! Welcome back, HCR! Thanks so much for doing this! I love the warm welcome you guys did to Pearl and Gem. That must've been fun to work on :D

i just realized how hard this season and the next seasons for the forseeable future are going to be for me, i use she/gem pronouns and nobody else i know uses gem so whenver i hear that its an ingrained "me! thats me!" response so its gonna be a jolt every time i hear gems name

Cleo is a master with armor stands. So many people offering a huge variety of comedic value, technical and beautiful builds.

I can tell Wonderwall is gonna be a fantastic running joke this entire season.

-Grian, Mumbo, Impulse, scar and Pearl: build there own town and live near each other. me: flash backs to season 6 with the hermit town mess

I'm so excited that there's gonna be so much more interaction this season especially with no shopping district and the proximity chat. I can't wait for more videos to come out.

A suggestion for the name of the Savanna where Etho and Iskall are living, "The Ethskall Savanna" that or "The Ethskall Mountains", since it's more mountainous. I might post this other places too.

Scar’s hat is apparently named “Good Times.” According to Joe from his live stream

Oh God, I lost all of Season 7 because so many Hermits and too little time, and now there's a Season 8 already, and TWO NEW HERMITS?!? **immediately subscribes to both**

Now since the season started, I’ve started to watch Tango Tek and Zedaph

So cool that Tay joined the server. I’ve been watching her hardcore survival series

Love the new vegas reference

Honestly hyped for Gemini and Pearlescent to be on hermitcraft

This is awesome! Thank you for the recap, I’m a new Hermitcraft viewer so this is really helpful!! Also, your commentary is really funny and had me laughing at the very manner-of-fact way you talked about Helsknight’s villany vlogging, iJevin’s slime excitement and Mumbo Jumbo’s Wonderwall. Great work!! :D

I just got into hermitcraft and this was a huge help in tracking all their events. Really glad I found this channel

I am so happy that Pearl joined this season. Happy Minecraft noices!!!

I've been rlly looking forward to this

Yay for the music to stay! Thanks for putting up with this solely for us Zloy, I truly appreciate it, to me this music really is a part of the HC recap (knowing how much the music makes your ears bleed by now and you still putting it in makes me appreciate your work even more)

I love Hermitcraft and these recaps so much, I haven't been able to watch everyone's episodes yet but I'm so excited!!! The start of a new season is so exciting and I love how many collabs are already happening aaahh

As a guitar player i appreciated the anyway here’s wonderwall

Been waiting for this ever since season 7 ended. And yes I am a devoted tfc watcher.

I watch all hermits and they're all so different and hilarious so I encourage everyone to watch and support as much as you can.

This is great that you guys still do these recaps, also love the new additions in the server tbh wanted pearlescent to do this for awhile she’s crazy

I'm looking forward to Iskall and Etho's bases in the shattered savannah.

Fan theory: Evil X and Helsknight team up as the Taskmaters.

I watched all the episodes and I was stillexcited to watch recap. I love seeing your spin on everything. Hooray Recap!!

You guys do so well week after week every year for the past few years. Just a nice thanks to you guys and as always a good job!

Exactly what I need in life

Everyone watching now: (0:55) Hah! No.

Tbh the start of a Hermitcraft season is the most exciting part of it to me. Everythings new, some new (or old) faces show up, people are still actually working to get their stuff, stake claims, create monopolies etc.

I am committed to watching everyone's day one video, yet I'm still coming back to watch this for the jokes and quality video making. Great work you two are doing, keep it up!

Here comes the nuclear war people, I can feel it...

Omg thank you Zloy for pointing it out! i thought i was the only one

And again: thank you for doing this! I watch many Hermits, but unfortunately, I can't watch them all, you guys give me an update each week of every hermit

Great to see you two back - thanks for everything you do!

I've been subbed to gem and pearl for ages now, I also watch most of the hermits, there's a couple im not tht into 🤘 thts where you guys come into things, I can see wht the others are doing each week if thy don't appear in the vids I watch thru this recap

Yes, I joined all the members this time but haven't been able to see a single episode because of the schedule, lets hope I get time to watch all episode(plans for 5episodes today and 10 tomorrow after online classes)

you guys are freaking amazing. idk how you manage to do this each week without fail Mad respect :)

this is so great! I really wanted to watch all of the players but its just too time consuming. thank you for the vid!

Well that was quick

Was Generikb just screwing with us when he was talking about playing on the server again?

I haven't watched/kept up with this since season 6... guess it's time to get back to the recap!! Thanks for making this yall, it is much appreciated!

Thank god I have the recap channel :) I’ve been so busy with work I haven’t even gotten to see everyone’s beginning episodes yet! The summary in the beginning was also super helpful!!! Thank you as always! Keep up the good work

I actually met GeminiTay on a building server, she's so chill :O
