Overview

• Live-feed reporting from Big Brother Network indicates Rachel Reilly was eliminated through the White Locust mechanism rather than a standard eviction.
• Lauren Domingue won Week 9 Head of Household and set nominations on Ashley Hollis, Morgan Pope, and Will Williams; the veto competition is still to come.
• Mickey Lee became the season’s first juror after a 6–1 Week 8 vote, with Vince Panaro casting the lone vote to evict Ashley.
• Vince secured safety by winning the BB Blockbuster “Forensic Frenzy” competition following Keanu Soto’s nominations of Morgan, Vince, and Mickey and Morgan’s veto escape.
• Host Julie Chen Moonves characterized White Locust as a dangerous intervention where “guests check in… but not all check out,” and commented on Vince and Morgan’s on-air “hugmance.”
