‘White Locust’ Twist Ousts Rachel Reilly as Feeds Return

A safety‑chain challenge run off‑camera during the blackout removed the season’s only returning player without a vote.

Overview

  • Live feeds resumed with Lauren Domingue as Week 9 Head of Household and nominations set: Ashley Hollis, Morgan Pope and Will Williams.
  • The White Locust event used a safety‑chain, hamster‑wheel style competition reported on feeds and fan sites, resulting in Reilly’s elimination outside the normal eviction process.
  • Reilly’s exit makes her the season’s first juror as the show moves into the jury phase.
  • Thursday’s broadcast confirmed Week 8 outcomes: Vince Panaro won Blockbuster safety and Mickey Lee was evicted in a 6–1 vote.
  • CBS replaced live feeds with a pre‑taped Big Brother: Unlocked special before restoring them, prompting backlash from fans and former contestants; a Tuesday episode is slated to show the twist and fallout.
