Week 10 opens with Yash in power
Yash Patel won the Week 10 Head of Household competition, which gave him immunity for the week and the right to nominate three houseguests for eviction. At the nominations ceremony, he selected Barrett Pfeiffer, Drew Campbell, and Melody Morris. The three nominees still had a chance to remove themselves through the Power of Veto competition, an endurance contest that came down to Yash and Drew. After the two struck a deal, Drew won the Veto, took himself off the block, and Yash named Taylor Brown as the replacement nominee.[S1]
Barrett, Melody, and Taylor then competed in the last BB Block Buster challenge of the season for safety in the first eviction of the night. Melody won the competition by a wide margin, securing her place in the house. That left Barrett and Taylor on the block, with the rest of the houseguests voting in the Diary Room. Devens, Dee, and Drew voted to evict Barrett, while Melody voted to evict Taylor. By a 3-1 vote, Barrett became the eleventh houseguest evicted from Big Brother Season 28 and the third member of the jury.[S1]
Double eviction night delivers a second exit
The night was not over, because the double eviction format packed a full week of gameplay into a live segment. Melody won Head of Household and nominated Devens and Dee, placing two Icons at risk. Devens and Dee had the chance to play for the Power of Veto and save themselves, or to persuade another winner to use it on their behalf. Devens won the Veto and used it to remove himself from the block, which forced Melody to choose a replacement nominee. She selected Yash.[S1]
With Dee and Yash facing eviction, the houseguests returned to the Diary Room to cast their votes. Taylor voted to evict Dee, while Devens and Drew voted to evict Yash. By a 2-1 vote, Yash became the twelfth houseguest evicted from Big Brother Season 28 and the fourth jury member. Barrett and Yash joined La Trice Verrett and Angela Murray at the Jury House.[S1]
The final five and the road ahead
The five houseguests still in contention to win Big Brother Season 28 are Dee Valladares, Drew Campbell, Melody Morris, Rick Devens, and Taylor Brown. With the jury now half full, each remaining player must weigh competition strength against jury management, because the people they send out next will help decide the winner. The season is down to its final weeks, and the next eviction will further narrow the field.[S1]
