The competition decreased from seven to five houseguests after a double eviction in Big Brother season 25, week 12. It’s getting down to the wire, and it’s now every man for himself. Underdog Jag won his fifth consecutive challenge this week, winning both the HoH title and the Power of Veto, which he opted not to use, leaving America and Blue on the block and vulnerable to elimination.
With Big Brother 25 coming to a conclusion, the competition is only becoming tougher, and no one can be trusted. However, in this week’s double elimination, the votes were unanimous once again. Episode 36 featured a complete week’s worth of action, with the first elimination coming directly at the start and the second coming after another HoH and Veto competition. Blue Kim and America Lopez were booted off the show.
The episode began with Jag electing not to use his Power of Veto, putting Blue and America in danger. Cirie was campaigning for Blue to Felicia, while America was campaigning for herself. Cirie had also told Felicia about a conversation she had with Matt about backdooring Jag. Felicia reported this information to Jag, but he was doubtful because he hadn’t seen it himself.
Big Brother’s Blue Kim was voted out during eviction by a unanimous vote of 4-0. She told the presenter that Jag’s gameplay was good, and she planned to get him out next if she had any more time in the Big Brother house.
The guests then competed in the HoH challenge for the double eviction, with the exception of last week’s winner, Jag. Over the course of seven rounds, it was a pop quiz with jazzed-up BB-themed film posters and a variety of questions about them. Matt and Bowie drew, and after going head-to-head, Bowie was named the new week’s HoH.
Bowie used her power to put Felicia and America up for sale. By this point, it was evident that the majority of the household, who also possessed the majority of the power, was aiming for America. The last Veto challenge was attended by all of the houseguests. They were charged with searching for sweets in a large ball pit and then filling a tube with them. Matt triumphed, receiving the final Power of Veto.
America attempted to pitch herself to Matt, demanding that he use his influence to pull her off the market and possibly replace her with Bowie or Cirie because they were building an alliance. Matt, on the other hand, would not budge and kept to their original strategy, forfeiting his power.
Felicia and America were up for the night’s second eviction. America was booted packing once more, this time by a 3-0 landslide vote. America confessed with Julie after her voyage in the Big Brother house ended that, given how powerful Jag and Matt were together, she realized she had absolutely no chance of continuing, especially since she was already their target.
