Overview
- Sam Ashby, Farida Khalifa and Emily Hewertson rejoined the house on October 20 after Sam’s fake eviction sent the trio into a hidden control room.
- Farida quickly delivered blunt opinions on chores, politics talk and budding relationships, drawing mixed reactions from viewers who called her both entertaining and annoying.
- While sequestered, the trio watched the house and took on set tasks designed to influence challenges before their re-entry.
- Earlier secret-room footage showed Farida telling Sam that Nancy Nocerino is seen as a “mean girl,” and viewers on X predicted Sam may change course when interacting with her.
- Emily’s return remains contentious with some viewers citing her previous conservative political advocacy as a reason for complaint.
