Julie Chen Moonves hosts the Week 2 live eviction on Big Brother 28, airing Thursday, July 23. Rick Devens, a Survivor alum, holds Head of Household and presides over a week that includes a live elimination. Three houseguests are placed in jeopardy and participate in the BB Blockbuster competition to determine who can avoid eviction. The competition winner earns the power to dodge elimination, while the remaining nominees face the vote that follows. Sources report that an additional houseguest is eliminated during this episode, marking the second exit of the season’s Week 2 cycle. The eviction results conclude Rick Devens’ HOH reign for the week, with the household losing another competitor in the process. Coverage across outlets centers on the same sequence: Rick Devens wins HOH, three nominees compete in BB Blockbuster for safety, and the live eviction leads to a second houseguest leaving the game in Episode 8.
