Heading into Sunday’s live eviction episode of “Big Brother 25,” the penultimate Head of Household of the season had just been crowned: Bowie Jane. The Australian DJ would soon name her two nominees for eviction, but as we all know, it’s really the Veto winner who holds all of the power in the Final 4, because they’ll have the sole vote to evict. So which person won the Power of Veto, and who ended up being sent to the jury house by the end of the live hour?

When we last recorded power rankings for “Big Brother 25” it was when Matt Klotz and Jag Bains were still utilizing Cameron Hardin to their advantage under the mask of a “Fugitives” alliance in the Top 10. Since then, Matt and Jag orchestrated the eviction of Cameron and stand alone as the “Minutemen,” a two-player alliance that has ruled the late-game with an iron fist. Standing ini the way of Matt and Jag are Cirie Fields, Felicia Cannon and Bowie Jane, three players all under the impression that they’re the ideal third wheel to Matt and Jag’s plans. But with the November 9 finale night looming, only one of their plans will play out through to the end.
Below, read our third and final power rankings of the season for the Top 5 as we consider how the season will finish with only two houseguests sitting in the finale chairs in front of their jury of seven.

Red Utley became the fifth houseguest to exit the “Big Brother” when he was evicted by a vote of 8-2 Thursday night. The 37-year old salesman from Gatlinburg, Tennessee was ousted on Day 37 over Jag Bains. Head of Household Jared Fields zeroed in on him after Cameron Hardin won the veto and removed himself from the block on Wednesday.
“I feel like Felicia had a lot to do with it,” Red told host Julie Chen Moonves during his exit interview. “In this house you never really can trust anything anybody’s telling you. There’s been all kinds of things going through my mind. I kinda had an idea that there was some funny business going on. It is what it is. This experience has been great either way.”

Blame it on the Power of Invincibility. Since Thursday’s live eviction episode of “Big Brother 25” ended with nobody going home, host Julie Chen Moonves made a “promise” to viewers at the end of the hour that someone would definitely be leaving next week. For those that missed the jam-packed episode, Matt Klotz won America’s Power of Invincibility and chose to use it to save Jag Bains from elimination. That meant nobody went home, and all 13 players (including outgoing Head of Household Cameron Hardin) would soon be playing in the upcoming Hoh competition.
Julie closed out the live episode by rattling off the upcoming “BB25” schedule, saying that a new Head of Household would be crowned on Sunday and that the Veto comp would be played on Wednesday. “Then on Thursday,” she continued, “a live eviction sends a houseguest packing … I promise.”

Following the unanimous eviction of Hisam Goueli from “Big Brother 25,” the remaining players (not counting outgoing Head of Household Felicia Cannon) all began the endurance comp to end all endurance comps: the Pressure Cooker. The winner of this fan-favorite challenge would be given the power to nominate two contestants for elimination, and all they had to do was hold a red button longer than their competitors. Sounds easy, right? So who won the Pressure Cooker Hoh competition on Sunday night?

CBS’s Big Brother Season 25 continues into week 4. And fans are on the edge of their seats to find out who’s up for eviction next. The end of week 3 introduced the Pressure Cooker challenge to determine the next Head of Household — a competition fans haven’t seen in years. And host Julie Chen Moonves also introduced the Big Brother Power of Invincibility. Here’s what it is.

Big Brother Season 25 has a new twist that will deeply impact who faces eviction. And that’s the Power of Invincibility.
The Power of Invincibility is based on audience votes followed by a competition. The player who wins this power can potentially save one contestant from nomination for eviction, similar to the Power of Veto.

Hisam Goueli says he feels betrayed after a brutal eviction during Thursday’s “Big Brother” episode — and he’s pointing the finger at himself.
Speaking to “Big Brother” season 24 winner Taylor Hale for Et in the season 25 exit interview, Hisam explains why he doesn’t blame anyone else but himself after, despite his best efforts, he was evicted by a unanimous 12-0 vote.
“I feel most betrayed by myself. Right? Because I know better,” he said. “And I feel bad about some of the decisions that I made that led me to the position that I was in.”
In hindsight, he would have done things differently.
“I should have been kinder, I should have been gentler. I should have been more thoughtful,” he explained. “And so the person that I blame for my situation is me. I put myself there and there’s no one else to blame, and I...

Hisam Goueli‘s game came crumbling down on “Big Brother 25” this week when a member of his own alliance backdoored him. Unhappy that the geriatric physician/burlesque dancer was acting like a “dictator,” Felicia took the opportunity to throw him up on the block after Jag won the veto. Despite his best efforts to flip The Professors back in his favor (it almost worked!) he was unanimously ousted on Thursday’s episode.
“I feel devastated and hurt,” he tells Gold Derby (watch above). “It was the one thing that I realized before the game that I couldn’t prevent, which is why I was playing the game so transparently and why I chose not to backdoor people. I was hoping to set a precedence so that someone would not backdoor me. It was a strategic game move, but they used it against me and here I am out of the house so it worked.

Hisam Goueli became the fourth houseguest to exit the “Big Brother” when he was evicted by a vote of 11-0 Thursday night. The 45-year old geriatric physician from Seattle was ousted on Day 23 over Cameron Hardin. Head of Household Felicia Cannon backdoored her former alliance member after Jag Bains won the veto and removed himself from the block on Wednesday.
“I’m a really fierce competitor,” Hisam told host Julie Chen Moonves during his exit interview. “I’m really direct, I’m bold and I’m really honest. Sometimes people can be intimidated by that. I just made too many bad decisions — like trusting the wrong people.”

Operation: Backdoor Hisam began this week on “Big Brother 25” after Felicia Cannon became the third Head of Household. Step one of her plan was to nominate two pawns for eviction who would play their hearts out in the Power of Veto competition and hopefully win; she chose Jag Bains and Cameron Hardin. Step two will be to replace one of them with an unsuspecting Hisam Goueli, who has rubbed both sides of the house the wrong way. So did the plan go off without a hitch on Wednesday night?

Following the unanimous eviction of Reilly Smedley on “Big Brother 25,” only 14 houseguests remained in the game, and they were mostly split down the middle between The Handful alliance and The Professors alliance.

Coming out of the house, Smedley told Et Canada’s Jed Tavernier that her fate is “slowly sinking in.”

On Thursday, after just 16 days into the new season of “Big Brother”, one contestant is already proving that brutal honesty can have serious consequences. Especially if your honesty feels more like bullying in the eyes of all your fellow houseguests.
Leading up to Thursday’s live eviction, Hisam Goueli had won the Head of Household competition and nominated previous Hoh, Reilly Smedley, for eviction — as well as Cameron Hardin, who he put up as a false target of sorts.
Hisam has said a big deal about wanting to play an “honest” game. So, he didn’t mince words when he told Reilly that she was his ultimate target and that he was going to do everything in his power to get her kicked out of the house.
Currently, the house is divided into two large alliances — The Handfuls (i.e. the younger players), and The Professors (the older players). Both...

Reilly Smedley became the third houseguest to exit the “Big Brother” when she was evicted by a vote of 12-0 Thursday night. The 24-year old bartender from Nashville was ousted on Day 16 over Cameron Hardin. Head of Household Hisam Goueli made it no secret he was gunning for Reilly, and despite the house nearly flipping he got his wish.
“I think there is a lot of fear in the house right now,” Reilly told host Julie Chen Moonves during her exit interview. “I definitely had my core alliance rooting for me, but it was really hard to gather those votes because we were so divided in the beginning. People were afraid to flip to the other side. When I found out at the end that the plan might not be working out I did tell my alliance to not blow their alliance by not voting for me.”

Now that Luke Valentine has been booted from the Big Brother house, Season 25 is in need of a new villain — and Hisam Goueli appears more than willing to fill that role.
Fortunately for us, Hisam falls into the “power-hungry bully” category of TV villains, and not the “racist loser” category that Luke did, which has kept Hisam’s Head of Household reign as entertaining as it’s been shocking. But heading into Thursday’s live eviction, Hisam and his hubris had so agitated the other houseguests — including his own Professors alliance — that it seemed Hisam’s plan to evict Reilly might not come to fruition,...

Luke Valentine, the “Big Brother” Season 25 houseguest who was ejected on Aug. 9 for using the N-word, is sharing his thoughts on CBS’ decision to send him home.
In an Instagram Live video posted on Wednesday, the illustrator weighed in on the controversy, noting that he didn’t agree with the decision to eliminate him.
“I’m not upset at the production,” Valentine, 30, said in the video. “Their hands were tied. They had to make a sacrifice, I understand why. It is upsetting. I think they made the wrong decision. I think a slap on the wrist would have been a much better thing.”
He went on to explain that for those who watch the clip — during which, he casually says the slur while having a conversation with houseguests Cory Wurtenberger, Hisam Goueli and Jared Fields — it is “pretty clear” that there as “no malice,” “no ill intent” behind his comments.

Big Brother houseguest Luke Valentine — who was removed from the CBS reality show after dropping the N-word during a conversation — tried to explain away his conduct by saying he meant “no malice” and how “you don’t really take into account the psychological distress of being under studio lighting 24/7.”
In a lengthy Instagram video live, a cigar-puffing Valentine spent quite a bit of time answering silly questions about his fellow houseguests and explaining how he makes more money washing dishes in a Cuban resort than working as an artist before he really addressed the incident that booted him off the game.
Valentine, who is white, dropped the N-word during a conversation with Jared Fields, Cory Wurtenberger and Hisam Goueli. “We were in the f*cking (inaudible) room, n****,” he said before quickly catching himself and saying “I’m sorry.”

In his first public comment since being kicked off “Big Brother” for using the n-word, Luke Valentine neither apologized nor acknowledged the matter.
Instead, in a short video posted on his Twitter (X) account, Valentine presented a defiantly chipper face as he offered up a substance-free affirmation to his followers.
“Hey, guys, just letting you know I’m alive, I’ve arrived, and you gotta keep the flames stoked. Until next time. We can’t burn out, no, no, no. the fires of love will continue to burn, baby,” Valentine said in a clip recorded while he was walking in an unidentified outdoor location.
“So thank you for all the memes, thank you for the support, all the kind words. And uh, now we’re just waiting on Duke.”
It’s not clear what “Duke” refers to.

Ejected “Big Brother” houseguest Luke Valentine seems to be maintaining a positive outlook after getting ousted in the first week of Season 25 for violating the show’s code of conduct by using a racial slur.
Luke took to his Instagram Story on Sunday, while power walking around a park without a shirt on, to share an up-beat by somewhat cryptic message, in which he notably did not appear contrite about the drama.
“Just letting you know, I’m alive, I’ve arrived, and you gotta keep the flames stoked,” Luke said, smiling broadly while sweating profusely. “We can’t burn out, no, no, no, the fires of love will continue to burn.”
“So thank you for all the memes, thank you for all the support, the kind words,” Luke added.

The Wurtenberger brothers have taken over CBS reality TV shows.
Current “Big Brother 25” houseguest Cory Wurtenberger made a comment during the August 10 live show that may have confused casual viewers: “Beat you, Zach.” As it turns out, he was poking fun at his real-life big bro Zach Wurtenberger, who was the first person voted out of “Survivor 42.” By surviving his own show’s initial eviction, Cory has now lasted longer than Zach, so their family dinners will never be the same.
“F*** that guy,” Zach jokingly posted on social media immediately after Cory’s “Beat you, Zach” comment aired on CBS. He later wrote, “Look at that smug f***er,” when a fan posted a photo of Cory’s face. Talk about the ultimate sibling rivalry! Zach later changed his profile pictures to images of Hisam Goueli, one of Cory’s allies in the “BB25” house.

“It has been an emotional 24 hours in the Big Brother house as the houseguests learned that one of their own broke the Big Brother code of conduct and was removed from the game,” host Julie Chen Moonves said during the episode, as reported by Deadline.
The show then aired that live-feed footage, when Valentine used the racial slur while speaking with fellow houseguests Jared Fields, Cory Wurtenberger and Hisam Goueli.

Big Brother contestant Luke Valentine was removed from the show after he said the N-word while engaging in a conversation with other houseguests.
Valentine was speaking with Jared Fields, Cory Wurtenberger and Hisam Goueli when he stated, “I’m in the f—ing cheese room, n—–.” He then backtracked after realizing what he said and instead used the word “dude.” He repeated the sentence without using the slur saying, “Anyways, we were in the f—ing cheese room.”
Wurtenberger and Goueli were shocked by Valentine while Fields laughed and told him, “Yo, you’re off the f—ing ledge.”

The Big Brother Season 25 contestants remaining in the house following the eviction of Luke Valentine for the use of a racial slur are now grappling with his removal.

During Thursday night’s episode, Valentine was called into the diary room after the conversation, and the next morning the other contestants learned of his eviction.

The latest episode of “Big Brother” has addressed the removal of contestant Luke Valentine following his use of the N-word during a Paramount+ live feed. This controversy unfolded just one week into the start of Season 25.
Valentine used the racial slur during a casual conversation with other contestants Jared Fields, Cory Wurtenberger and Hisam Goueli. After dropping the slur at the end of a sentence, he seemed immediately aware of his on-camera faux pas. He covered his mouth, laughed and quickly said “dude” instead, while his fellow contestants stared at him. The moment can be watched here.
During the new episode, Valentine is called to the diary room after using the slur. The next morning, contestant Reilly Smedley delivers the news aloud to her fellow houseguests: “Due to violating the ‘Big Brother’ code of conduct by using a racial slur, Luke has been removed from the house and will no...

Heading into the first live eviction episode of “Big Brother 25,” the game was unexpectedly shaken up when the producers expelled Luke Valentine for his use of the N-word. That had everyone both inside and outside the house wondering if the live eviction of either Felicia Cannon or Kirsten Elwin would still go on as normal. Remember, just last summer, the backstage twist was scrapped when Paloma Aguilar voluntarily quit the show, which meant block-mates Taylor Hale and Terrance Higgins were both spared; Taylor went on to win the game. So who ended up being evicted on Thursday night?

All week long, “Big Brother 25” fans have been making their predictions at Gold Derby for who they think will be evicted on Thursday, August 10. As of this writing, Kirsten Elwin has leading 3/2 odds to be evicted, while Felicia Cannon is in second place at 10/3 odds. However, the “No One” option is steadily rising on our elimination chart, as some viewers suspect Julie Chen Moonves might surprise the houseguests with good news in the wake of Luke Valentine‘s removal due to using the N-word.
Week 1 started with Kirsten, Felicia, Jared Fields and Cory Wurtenberger all nominated for eviction when they lost their four mini-challenges on move-in day. Julie then revealed that the soon-to-be-crowned Head of Household would have the ability to remove two of the four nominees from the chopping block. Reilly Smedley won the Hoh competition and she decided to save Jared and Cory, thereby keeping Kirsten and Felicia on the block.
