What happens on the Big Brother episode tonight?
Tonight’s episode covers fallout from the Power of Veto meeting, nominee campaigning, the BB Blockbuster competition, then the live vote and eviction. It ends with the ousted houseguest talking to host Julie Chen-Moonves.
Chen-Moonves previewed the Blockbuster: the three nominees are enclosed in a capsule while colored balls blast into the air. They must gather 10 red and 10 yellow balls into the matching tubes. First to finish wins and leaves the block.
Who could be evicted on Big Brother tonight?
The sixth eviction will be one of Kamu, Haley, or Angela. Head of Household Yash Patel kept nominations of Dee, Angela, and Haley intact until Survivor alum Rick Devens used the Diamond Power of Veto to save Dee and name Kamu as the replacement nominee.
If Kamu does not win the Blockbuster, he has been the house’s intended target. Some in the new Mosh Pit alliance had floated keeping him, though late Wednesday that plan appeared to fade after talks with Drew Campbell.
Twelve houseguests remain heading into the Aug. 20 live show. Double eviction has not been scheduled yet; it typically arrives early in the jury phase.
