Tears. A showmance. Alliances, left and right. That's classic Week One of Big Brother. But a Dining Table Time Machine? A futuristic tyrannical Dr. Will? And the demise of a BB Icon at the hands of a Velociraptor. That's the makings of an amazing summer. Welcome to the first live Eviction night on Big Brother!

Previously on Big Brother...

With Dee holding all the power, upstairs, she and Devens formed two separate squads, one with Drew, Angela and Barrett, and another with Chuk, Kamu, and Haley. While downstairs, Rome and Lyric solidified a different kind of alliance. Dee put three outsiders on the block, but at the first Veto competition of the summer, the rocket scientist blasted off the block. Jason confided in Angela, but then revealed he was just playing her, and Angela took the news hard. At the Veto meeting, Dee put another outsider on the chopping block.

Tonight, Ashley, Taylor, and Yash go to battle in the BB Blockbuster. Who will win their safety, and which will become the first evicted? Find out right now, live on Big Brother!

Good evening, I'm Julie Chen Moonves. Welcome to Big Brother. Whether you are a long time viewer or a new viewer of the show, buckle up for the wildest Big Brother ever. It's Day 10 inside the Big Brother House, and tonight, the first HouseGuest is headed out the door. And while time travel could catapult the show to the past or the future, there will be no going back in time to undo the eviction that will soon take place. In fact, the only sure way Yash, Ashley, or Taylor can ensure they survive is to emerge victorious in the BB Blockbuster.

Who will save their game? Who's game will remain in jeopardy when the live vote begins? And who will be leaving the game as the first HouseGuest evicted? We'll all find out live, tonight. But first, returning HouseGuest Angela came into this season determined to not let her paranoia take over. But, it's Angela.

Day 7. Taylor is glad to have Ashley on the block with her, because she hasn't established game relationships in the House. Dee put up Ashley because they haven't connected and she's not in any group. But Yash is her target because he was most upset she put him up. Yash plans to work the numbers just in case he doesn't win the BB Blockbuster. Ashley says her nomination confirms her doubts and insecurities of being on the bottom of the totem pole. She needs to let people know she could be a number for them. We all fight on Thursday, Yash tells Ashley and Taylor.

Yash interrupts Drew and Dee in the HoH, worried about the vote. Drew would hate for him to go, because there are more girls, and if another guy goes... Dee tells us that she controls the vote between the Crossovers and The Red Corner, and she wants to keep Taylor, but she knows the guys in The Red Corner want to keep Yash as a meat shield. She needs to convince them to want to change their minds.

In the Backyard, Jason assures Taylor she's not a target. As long as Yash doesn't win Blockbuster, he says, he goes home. Taylor counts votes from LaLa and Jason, and she's trauma-bonded with the Have Nots, so she thinks she's taking it next to anyone.

Lyric and Melody confer in the Pod Bedroom about the other side's alliance: Kamu, Haley, Chuk, and maybe Devens and Dee, Melody says, so they need counter-numbers. She wants Lyric to bring Rome in with them, and if Rome has someone he trusts, they can bring him in on the side. They can add Taylor and Yash if he comes off and they vote out Ashley.

In the Hot Tub Lounge, Yash tells Kamu and Chuk he's got too much game left to go home. They agree, and Kamu promises they don't want him to go. It sets a bad precedent to send a guy home, Chuk agrees. Yash promise both of them safety. Kamu wants to keep physical threats in the house to be shields for him.

In the Backyard, Jason is recruited by Rome to join a "workout" in the gym. Angela sees this as an open acknowledgement that they are meeting, and if they are meeting without her, they must be talking against her. This is not her first rodeo, she reminds us. Rome and Lyric are together, and Lyric is close with Mallory and Melody, so that's a big group he has forming. But two can play at that game.

In the gym, Rome, LaLa, and Jason commit to keeping Taylor over Ashley. On Day 6, they formed an alliance called Mama's Angels. This is the exact group Rome wanted, both personal and tactical. They also commit to keeping Taylor over Yash, with which Rome is less comfortable. What he really needs is for Ashley to go home, and he can keep both himself and his alliance happy.

With her paranoia surfacing once again, Angela seems determined to see Rome's empire fall as fast as it was built.

In the time lounge, Angela is upset at being played, but gets control of herself. If Rome is building an army without her, she's going to do something about it. She tells Kamu that Rome has half the House. Since Kamu is not connected to Rome at all, Angela thinks that is a good place to start. Rome is summoning people to the gym, she tells Kamu, the half you're not working with. All the girls except Ashley and Haley.

Kamu lets Dee know what Angela said. Dee guesses it was Rome, Taylor, Lyric (of course), LaLa, Mallory, and Melody. Rome tells him they're solid, Kamu tells Dee, but I wasn't invited to that meeting. Rome and Yash downplay being close as well. Maybe it doesn't hurt to keep a physical threat like Yash as a shield. But Yash is in an alliance with your enemy, Dee points out. Opponent, Kamu corrects. Dee says Ashley is a number, not a threat, and can be brought in. Dee thinks Kamu will bring The Red Corner in line with the Crossovers to vote out Yash. Voting out Ashley or Yash hurts Rome.

In the Backyard, Angela pitches a home to Ashley in front of Dee and Drew. They promise to get as many votes as they can for her. Later, Haley tells Ashley she has herself, Dee, Chuk, Kamu, Devens, Angela, Drew, and Barrett as numbers. That's 8 if we can get those, she says. Haley says she's just following orders from The Red Corner. Rather than let them do the work, as Haley had implied, Ashley decides to use the knowledge for her own plan to secure more votes by telling others she has the votes to stay and they should vote to keep her to stay with the majority.

She starts off in the Storeroom with Melody, claiming a whole group came to her and promised they wanted her to stay. She names Dee, Barrett, Angela, Drew, Kamu, Chuk, and Haley. Melody is baffled Ashley would tell her this. Are you sure, she asks? She tells Barrett and Drew about Ashley listing them as numbers for her. That's crazy, Drew tells her. He asks us what Ashley is doing, trying to sabotage them trying to save her. Drew and Barrett let Angela and Dee know in HoH that Ashley told Melody word-for-word their plan. Keeping Yash or Taylor is better for Rome, Dee tells us, but if we and the other side of the House split a vote against Ashley, it risks showing our cards and exposing our alliances.

It is time for the BB Blockbuster. This competition is called Do Over. A series of images of their fellow Housemates wearing hairdos from various decades will cycle on screens around the room. They must answer which HouseGuest appears the most times. The winner will be the nominee who locks in their guess in the fastest time. The images will appear on different screens, and there are only 2 minutes to lock in your answer. Everyone understands and the competition starts now.

Yash races to a screen on one wall, while Taylor and Ashley round the corner to a large double-screen wall. Each image has a different number and different combination of HouseGuests in different settings, wearing different costumes, and with different hairstyles. After 30 seconds, Taylor rushes over to join Yash at his screen, then returns to the double-image screen. One minute left, Julie announces.

Yash moves over to the double-image screen, while Ashley trades places at the smaller screen wall. Taylor positions herself strategically at the edge to be able to look at all three screens. The images cycle every few seconds, but not at the same time. 40 seconds left, Julie announces, as the three scramble from one wall to the other. 30 seconds. Yash and Taylor are the first to return to their podiums to pull out a HouseGuest's photo and lock in their answer. Ashley is right behind them.

Yash locks in on Mallory first. Taylor locks in on Devens. Ashley locks in on Devens as well, but after Taylor. With 18 seconds still remaining, Julie announces, the correct answer is Mallory. That means Yash won the BB Blockbuster and has pulled himself off the block!

Ashley or Taylor have just moments to convince their fellow Housemates to keep them in the game. Let's reveal the winner of the BB Blockbuster. The nominees head down the stairs to the Living Room. The winner of the BB Blockbuster is Yash. He receives celebratory hugs, but Julie reminds them they have work to do. It is time for the first live vote of the season, but first, Ashley and Taylor have the opportunity for one brief statement.

Ashley loves the HouseGuest but if evicted would have some serious FOMO of the snacks they've been devouring and the inside jokes she doesn't want to miss out on. Taylor says home-guests, she wants to check off her checklist, and her babies seeing her do her thing, and add cultivate the culture of their home.

It is time for the live voting to begin. As HoH, Dee can only vote in the event of a tie. With 14 voting, it will take 8 votes to evict.

Jason votes to evict Ashley.
Melody votes to evict Ashley.
Rome votes to evict Ashley.
Lyric votes to evict Ashley.
Mallory votes to evict Ashley.
Angela votes to evict Ashley.
Devens (wearing a buff) votes to evict Ashley.
Yash sadly votes to evict Ashley.
Kamu votes to evict Drew, he means Ashley.
Haley votes to evict Ashley.
Barrett votes to evict Ashley.
Drew votes to evict Ashley, calling Julie Mrs. Moonves.
LaTrice (LaLa after she calls Julie her sister from another Mister) votes to evict Ashley.
Chuk votes to evict Ashley.

HouseGuests, all of the votes are in. By a vote of 14-0, Ashley is evicted from the Big Brother House. She's all smiles as she gives each HouseGuest a hug. Barrett says she's the funniest person he's ever met. 14-0 is brutal, Ashley jokes. But she's still coming to the hang. They gather around the Front Door as Ashley grabs her bag and steps outside of the Big Brother House.

Julie gives her a hug. Ashley knew being the first evicted HouseGuest was a possibility and had a feeling it was leading up to it. The first week, her biggest fear was not finding her people and going home first. Did you find your people, Julie asks? You were social but didn't have a group you were aligned with in the game. There were people I wanted to work with, Ashley says, but it felt like begging. Please, choose me. Want me. Everone was so non-committal.

You were told you had 7 votes, Julie notes. I totally thought I was being saved, Ashley says, they must have changed their minds. I felt so solid. Do you wish you had given a different eviction plea, Julie asks? She could have hammered in being a strong competitor, but the BB Blockbuster was her first one. She thinks their decision had been made whatever she said. Well, Julie consoles, someone had to be first.

Julie returns to the remaining 16 HouseGuests in the Living Room to let them know about the America's Vote for the Time Capsule experience. Soon, everyone but Dee will compete for a new HoH, but that won't be the only power up for grabs this week. A new twist is being unleashed, called the BB Time Capsule. Each week over the next six weeks, one HouseGuest will be secretly selected by America to step into the BB Time Capsule to play a game. If you win, you receive a power from Big Brother's past. If you lose, you receive a punishment from Big Brother's past. A HousesGuest can only enter the BB Time Capsule once. The first winner will be told, in secret, within the next 24 hours.

Goodnight, HouseGuests. We are one week in, one eviction down, and have one time trip of a week ahead of us. Tune in on Sunday to see who rises to HoH and which three HouseGuests they nominate for eviction. Plus, find out who you at home chose to send into the BB Time Capsule. On Wednesday, the Power of veto is back up for grabs; who will win, and will it be used to save one of the nominees? And next Thursday, it's another Live BB Blockbuster in the BB Arena and the second Eviction of the season.

For now, let's eavesdrop on the HouseGuests. From outside the Big Brother House, I'm Julie Chen Moonves. Love one another.

LaLa gives Yash a big hug, Jason swings Lyric swings Dee around in his arms, and the rest of the HouseGuests are expelling nervous energy, dancing in the Kitchen. Chuk tells Yash he knew he had won when he came down (the stairs) first.

Previously on Big Brother...

14 all new HG began the BB Time Trip, and they were quickly joined by 3 familiar faces. After Rome, Chuk, and Jason won safety, Angela, Dee, and Devens went to battle to become the first HoH, with each Icon getting a team of newbies, the former Survivor winner built a blaze of glory. Dee and Devens solidified a powerful partnership and quickly formed a 5-person alliance with Angela, Drew, and Barrett. Covering their bases, the Survivors also made a separate squad with Chuk, Haley, and Kamu. Meanwhile, Lyric and Rome were forming a duet built less on strategic game play and more on smoochie smoochie. Dee had a plan for her nominations, and at the first nomination ceremony of BB28, Dee executed her plan.

Tonight, it's the inaugural veto competition of the season, and a couple of BB legends join in on the fun. Who will win the golden power and will it be used to save one of the nominees? Plus, it took nearly a week, but Angela's first BB breakdown is here. All this, right now, on Big Brother!

Day 4. Dee chose one person from each team to be her nominees because it was the easiest path. Yash thinks it was a bone-headed move to nominate someone who helped her win HoH. Dee's word goes in the trash. Taylor is devastated to be on the block week one, but she's not going to act erotic to give people a reason to send her home. Ugh, she tries that again. Act erratic. Mallory doesn't want to cry but doesn't want to be the first to go home.

Kamu also thinks Yash was a bad choice because he helped her win HoH. She could get backlash, and that could land on him as part of her alliance. Mallory is too flustered to talk to Dee, and goes to the BY to seek sympathy. Drew understands she's upset - he'll be upset when it is his turn. But she's throwing names out and they don't know who's working with who yet. Privately, Drew advises her to not throw out names of who Dee should have nominated. Melody agreed, and it makes her wonder if she should be aligned with such an emotional player.

In HoH, Dee, Devens, and Angela celebrate the nominations. Devens notes you couldn't happy dance on Survivor. They have the two alliances, but The Crossover alliance is where Devens' heart is. Dee notes that in Big Brother, after you nominate someone, you still have to live with them for a week. Taylor comes to HoH and is nervous but appreciates having two chances to save herself. Dee promise they are still good, and Taylor believes her. Taylor and Mallory talk in the BY. Mallory knows she looks defeated with all her crying, but will have to talk to Dee. Summer camp is over. Dee tells her they didn't talk deep strategy, but she doesn't want her to go home. Mallory asks then who? Yash, Dee tells her. He's a physical threat and really smart, she tells us. Mallory hopes Dee will push people to vote out Yash. She tells us she's a fighter and won't give up.

Rome is making burgers, and he prepares one especially for Ashley, who just never got around to eating one as a child. She takes a bite and tells us it is oh, so very delicious. In the Storeroom, Melody tells Lyric that if she won the Veto, she would mark herself for the rest of the game if she used it on Mallory. Lyric agrees they may have to pull away from Mallory. Melody worries that if Melody comes out, Dee will go after her or Lyric. They have to fix it now. They talk to Dee in HoH and make the case for how sweet a girl Mallory is, but they don't have an allegiance to her. She tells us that's true, and she wants Dee to know that. Dee tells us that them trying to separate from Mallory indicates they are actually allied. It's too obvious.

Melody thinks she's done damage control with Dee, and now she needs new allies. In the Wash Area, she gets on Drew's level, which means laying on their backs while he brushes his hair down towards the floor. You want to jump ship (from Mallory), he asks? She's too emotional, Melody confirms, even if she's not a threat. She needs Drew as an option. Drew wants to form a two-person alliance, to be their number ones. He tells it speaks poorly of Melody that she wants to jump ship on Mallory already. But she can still be useful. His loyalties are with The Crossovers, however.

Ashley is getting out of a dry HoH bathtub and knocks off one of the faucet knobs. Dee hasn't even had a chance to use it, and it's already broken. I'm not paying for it, Dee says. Me and my big ass, Angela says, embarrassed. Hopefully that's the only thing Angela damages, Dee tells us, referring to her game.

Rome climbs into his bunk pod, and Lyric asks if he's going to bed. This is like sneaking around in High School, trying to hide from your parents. Lyric climbs into his pod, thinking she's being quiet while Mallory is sleeping below. They get to flirting, still thinking they are hiding it. Rome tells her he likes her and isn't afraid of it. Lyric tells us he's really good looking and she constantly wants to be with him. She looks to Brendon and Rachel, and Jeff and Jordan as examples of showmances surviving outside of the BB House. They commit to each other as #1s.

It is time to pick players for the Veto competition. The first chip Dee pulls is Barrett, who is ecstatic to finally get to play something. The second chip pulled is Melody, and Mallory hopes she'll save her if she wins. However, Melody tells us that as an only child, she always thinks of herself first, and that means not using the Veto on Mallory. In the Storeroom, Mallory jokingly asks Barrett to try to win the Veto and use it on her. Clearly, Barrett laughs. After she leaves, he turns to the camera and says, "eek". He feels bad, but he wants to win and not use it.

In the Backyard, the Houseguests are working out. Yash lays on the hammock with Dee for a talk. He lets her know it was not cool to blindside him on the block after he helped her win HoH. Dee tells us she doesn't remember telling her team they'd be safe with her. Dee says it was the most diplomatic move. Now she has both Yash and Mallory mad at her. Melody tells Mallory this isn't a perfect world, and she doesn't know if she'd use the Veto on her. She's afraid of putting someone else at risk. In the DR, Mallory says she guesses she felt more loyal to Melody than Melody feels towards her. She's going to have to do this herself.

At the Dining Table, Jason says it has been nice being chill with safety this week; in his gay world, he's more reckless and parties a lot. Angela says she's wild. How wild, Dee asks? She rarely turns down a dare. Angela says that on the BB Cruise with former HouseGuests and fans, she was dancing alone in the ship ballroom while the others were clinging to the walls. Soon she was freak-nasty dancing with Howie (BB6). That ship was rockin', Jason laughs in the DR, they didn't even need an iceberg. It was going down!

The HouseGuests hear the sound of the Time Machine and Howie himself materializes in the Storeroom. Everyone rushes to the Dining Area, where Howie tells them he is from the future. Angela says he's the Master Jedi, and she wants to be his Leia. Except she's married. Howie brings a warning: he's from 2248 and the great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandson of Beefcake Jedi Hurricane Howie. His ancestor used to trade barbs with Dr. Will (roll clips with Dr. Will in BB7 All-Stars about Howie needing Botox).

In 2027, Dr. Will invented Will-Tox, a beauty formula that allows you to live forever. Public demand was through the roof, and he became so rich and powerful that Earth was renamed Will World in his honor, a utopia of youth and beauty. In truth, Howie says, Will snuck into the BB28 house and hijacked the Dining Table Time Machine. They are shown a clip of Will sneaking in, while the HouseGuests could be heard in another room. Will stole state-of-the-art longevity tech from 1000 years in the future so he could look young and handsome forever. After becoming the first Gazlilionaire, no one could stop his rise to power. Howie needs their help to stop him, end his reign of handsome horribleness, and send him back to the past.

The HouseGuests use the DTTM to travel to July 15th, 2248. Citizens of Will World, Dr. Will says, you are looking more beautiful than ever, thanks to me. $100 million to live forever? That's a bargain, he says. Low on Kirby Crypto? Work harder. Because only the freakishly attractive have a place in Real World.

Howie and the HouseGuests arrive underneath Dr. Will's penthouse, and the DTTM has been connected to the power system, but the Veto competitors must connect it to Will's throne to activate it and send Will back to the past, which will stop his rise to power. They must use Time Tubes (plastic pipes) to connect the DTTM to the Power Tubes that charge his throne. The Time Tubes must form a continuous pipeline from the DTTM to the connection port. But because he is such a gorgeous man, the Time Tubes must pass through 11 power amplifiers (rings on posts of different heights and directions) to generate enough power. This comp is called Back From The Future!

Mallory says she uses spacial awareness and problem solving skills as a rocket scientist. She starts at the end with the tubes, and identifies one tube that is longer than the others with a 45 degree angle, and she places that between the two amplifiers with the longest distance, then works from there. Barrett thinks he'll be good if he gets rolling. Yash notes the pipes are close in length, and it is hard to find the right size. Melody can't find where the pipe she is holding connects to, so she decides to start from the back instead.

Dee is freaking out - she can handle physical challenges that involve balancing, tossing, but don't ask her to use her brain cells. She feels stupid. This competition is not for Taylor, she says, and she's not afraid to admit it. She has her pipes wrapping back on itself in a square. Left, right, up, down, she's no plumber. This is not my thing, Barrett realizes, comically struggling. Drew jokes that Barrett looks pretty. I'm going to get the dumb edit, he jokes.

Yash is making good progress, but Mallory is flying through it. Mallory sees Yash right behind her, and stresses about attaching the wrong tube and losing the Veto. All the Veto players are trying to build their pipelines, though Dee and Melody have nothing. Taylor and Barrett at least have some pipes laid. Yash and Mallory are in a two-person race. This is a nightmare, Dee says. Ashley's palms are sweaty and she's not even competing.

Mallory plugs in her last pipe and hits her button, but is buzzed incorrect. The HouseGuest gallery is shocked and she is frustrated and Angela is gleeful. This is my chance, Yash thinks. But Mallory quickly identifies one pipe that has come loose from its fitting, and this time the pipeline is complete. Mallory has won the Golden Power of Veto!

Howie places the Veto medallion around her neck. She just engineered herself right off the block, she says, flipping the switch to bring Will back from the future. What's happening, Will asks from his throne, I can't go back. Not the past! It's so unattractive! I'm too handsome! They have saved the future, Howie says, have a safe trip back to 2026.

Melody is happy Mallory won the Veto, but now is worried she could be the replacement nominee. Barrett is happy he didn't win. Yash is gutted at losing this chance to be safe. Taylor plans to negotiate and talk game to stay in the House. Dee feels like an airhead. She could go with Melody, who claims to not be aligned with Mallory, or go with Ashley, who isn't aligned with anyone.

In the Storeroom, Barrett congratulates Mallory for saving herself. Mallory tells us this is a huge confidence booster. Ashley tells Haley and Melody on the hammock that Dee will probably put her up. Melody thinks Dee likes them more than her. Ashley notes Yash felt cool with Dee and she nominated him anyway. Haley tells us she's working with Dee in The Red Corner alliance and isn't afraid of being the replacement nominee.

In the outer bedroom, Angela is laying next to Jason, who thinks Big Brother is like High School, with hot jocks while he's uncomfortable with his body. At 35, he realizes he's an example for younger kids and needs to stop feeling insecure. Angela understands, with people on Instagram calling her fat. People suck, he says. Angela is in awe of him opening himself up by coming on Big Brother without knowing whether the other HouseGuests would accept him. Jason tells us Angela was there for him on that first day in the House.

Jason tells Angela his mom recently passed away, and he told himself that if there was a mom in the House, that's his mom, and he'd protect her. Angela is taken aback and gushes with gratitude. Jason starts sobbing with her. They brought you here for me, Angela tells him, I'm here for a hug any time. Don't ever hold back, she says, let it out. She gives him a kiss on the cheek and leaves. Jason sits up in the bed, takes off his sunglasses, and looks at the camera: mission accomplished.

Being emotional around Angela gives her purpose, he explains to us, to be mamma of the House. If he can up the ante with the waterworks, she'll feel emotionally attached to him and he'll use it. Please, he says to the camera, washing the tears right off his face.

That night, Jason, Drew and Melody are in the Backyard. Drew thinks the three of them are good, and Jason form the Court Jesters alliance, holding court in the BB House, and if they can work it to Jury, it would be the Jesters unleashed to the wild. Melody trusts Drew and Jason, and it brings her information and numbers. Drew asks Jason who he would be happy losing, and Jason goes right to the fan favorites: the mom (Angela) and Big Daddy (Devens). He wants to reclaim the game for the original HouseGuests.

He tells us they have all played games of strategy before, and that's dangerous. He needs Drew and Melody's help to get them out and let the real reality icon (himself) shine. Jason tells Drew and Melody he wants to backdoor Devens, then tells them how he played Angela about losing his mom, and how she reacted. Drew laughs, but tells us Jason spilled the beans about his game, but he's aligned with Devens and Angela, so he's going to use the information to help his real alliance, the Crossover alliance.

The next day in the Storeroom, Drew tells Dee that Jason wants to backdoor Devens because he's America's Dad. Dee tells us Jason is lucky to be safe this week, because going after the Icons would have made him a real good replacement nominee.

Drew sits down with Devens in the Hot Tub Lounge, and fills him in on Jason's backdoor plan for him and Angela. Deven is surprised Jason would target him over the jocks in the House, but also pleased that Drew is proving so loyal. Angela wanders in, and Drew tells her about Jason faking tears about his mom. Angela is shocked and angry. That's disgusting, she tells Drew and Devens. I just wanted to give you guys this info, Drew softly tells them. Angela is grateful.

In the DR, she breaks down in tears. OMG, that is so bad, she cries, her heart is broken. He thinks she's a sucker, but she's not. BB26 Angela would have blown up her alliance with Drew and confronted Jason like nobody's business. BB28 Angela, however, will love him hard, let him think he does have her wrapped around his finger, but everyone will know I'm playing him right back, but harder. I can't believe he's playing on my heartstrings like that, Angela tells Devens after Drew leaves.

LaTrice sashays into the Have Not Room wearing an orange two-piece bikini that shows off her toned muscles and an elaborate tattoo underneath her belly button, leading into her suit bottom. She describes all the torn tendons and surgeries she's had over the years. She's like RoboCop, coming back faster, stronger, fitter. She was walking down the stairs to the Q Train in NYC and her heel got caught. Broke her knee cap. A year, a month, and a day later (you can tell she's told this story before), she was walking to the train, this time without heels, and she caught the front of her foot, and her knee went again. It hurt more than childbirth.

You and the train, Taylor exclaims, and Jason's empathetic pain turns to laughter. Chuk says LaLa inspires him, showing him that you can look good at any age. He tells the group LaLa has to be the most fun physical therapy patient ever. She could have her arm amputated, and LaLa would say, "Don't worry, baby." Chuk asks if she is OK now, and LaLa lets loose with her groove thing, and could even show Jason a few moves.

Ashley joins Dee in HoH, saying she's been trying to have a one-on-one with her all weekend. She thinks Dee is a real person and wants to stay in her good graces. By her logic at nominations, Ashley tells her, the remaining options would be her and Barrett. Dee confirms it could be her. But everyone likes her. Ashley feels like she was just diagnosed with a disease, humiliation ritualitis. Dee tells us Ashley hasn't found a group yet and isn't a threat, but she can't put up Barrett since he is in the Crossover alliance. Dee deflects to her one-person-from-each-group strategy rather than naming any specific reason.

Melody interrupts Dee listening to music and wearing a face mask, to confirm that the two of them are good, and that she didn't do anything to upset her. Dee clearly does not want to be having this conversation, and Melody finally takes the hint. She's actively correcting her game moves, Dee observes, and distancing herself from Mallory, which shows she's a gamer. Ashley isn't doing that, which makes it a tough decision.

It is time for the Veto meeting. Mallory takes herself off the block, and staying true to her word and logic, her choices are either Barrett or Ashley. Dee names Ashley as the replacement nominee.

This may not be the biggest move, but it is the smartest move, Dee tells us, and she wants to get the attention off herself. Being nominated makes her nervy, Ashley tells us. No, wait, nervous. Oh so very nervous. This is going to light the fire to get her to start campaigning socially, solidifying the numbers to stay. She is going to come in hot, subtlety. Taylor says Miss Julie will not be meeting her this week. Yash came close to winning Veto, and you can get him up at 2am, 3am, 4am, he's ready to get his first comp Dub (W). He thumps his chest.

Who will win the BB Blockbuster and be saved from the block? And who will ultimately be the first evicted from the house: Ashley, Taylor, or Yash? Find out live Thursday night on Big Brother!
