CBS The cast of 'Big Brother 23'
The “Big Brother 23” jury house is about to gain its second member when either Derek Xiao or Claire Rehfuss is evicted on the Thursday, August 26 episode of the show. If you’re curious about who is likely to go, check out our eviction prediction post, but be warned of spoilers.
At least neither possible evictee is going down without a fight. Both Derek and Claire worked up until the very last minute to try to stay in the house, so it will be interesting to see how the votes go. Also, the next Head of Household is pretty crucial for a few houseguests.
Tiffany Mitchell has figured out that the men of the Cookout have been dispensing with the women’s plus-ones outside of the alliance before they’ve been going after their own, so she would really like to win HOH to see if she can evict Sarah Beth Steagull. But of course, everything could be upended by the Coin of Destiny power this week.
Follow along with our live eviction episode post below, but be warned of spoilers.
All times Eastern.
8:10 — It’s a montage of how the house wants Derek X. out. Yeah, he has been trying really hard this week to get to stay and he almost flipped it. At the last minute, Azah talked about voting to keep him, but her reason not to was because she “didn’t want Xavier to come out of solitary to a surprise,” which — are you INSANE?! This is “Big Brother,” Azah! That’s a baller move right there! But yeah, Derek’s goose is cooked.
8:20 — Time for Xavier’s 24 hours of solitary confinement, in which Derek X. went to work trying to convince everyone to keep him. Major props to Derek X., he is not going down without a fight.
8:35 — Time to vote. Alyssa votes to evict Derek X., Hannah votes to evict Claire, Kyland votes to evict Claire (that’s a surprise). Derek F. votes to evict Derek X, so it’s 2-2. Tiffany votes to evict Derek X. Azah votes to evict Derek X. Xavier votes to evict Derek X. So Derek X. is out by a vote of 5-2.
8:45 — HOH time. Let’s do this! The houseguests were given videos of themselves in the guise of NFTs, which — let’s not even go there about NFTs. But anyway, this is a memory comp, so Kyland and Hannah are probably going to do well.
8:55 — The competition is a true/false competition about the NFTs on the wall. There are extra BB bucks available in envelopes on a pedestal. The amounts range from $50 to $100 and they will open them secretly in the high roller’s room later this week (sneaky, sneaky production). The first question knocks out Xavier, Azah, and Claire. The second question knocks out Derek F. and Kyland. The third question leaves Tiffany, Hannah and Alyssa in the comp. The fourth question eliminates Hannah and Alyssa, which means Tiffany is the new HOH.
“Big Brother” season 23 airs Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
