Overview

• A late Blockbuster win granted one nominee safety, leading to a 3–2 vote that sent another houseguest to the jury without a tiebreaker.
• Live feeds captured one nominee urging another to throw the Blockbuster for mutual survival, a pitch that was flatly rejected.
• A new Head of Household took control following the eviction, setting the stage for a different slate of targets in Week 10.
• Early live-feed talks point to possible nominations that could include Kelley, Ava, Keanu, and potentially Lauren, with allies debating whether to keep a frequent veto user off the block.
• Producers confirmed a two-hour episode next Wednesday with Zingbot and a Thursday double eviction, compressing decisions as the jury phase raises the stakes.
