Big Brother: Reindeer Games is a fun spin-off show that debuted on CBS in December 2023. The show rolled out during the downtime caused by the Writers Strike.

Bbrg featured alums competing for a $100,000 cash prize during a shortened season of Big Brother. Three alums also served as co-hosts for the holiday-themed show.

Nicole Franzel won Big Brother: Reindeer Games, making her the first person to win two Big Brother USA shows. Cody Calafiore, Danielle Reyes, and Taylor Hale were also played.

Many Big Brother fans hoped that Reindeer Games would return this winter, giving everyone something to watch while we wait for BB27.

But there will be no Reindeer Games this winter. The producers revealed that the CBS schedule couldn’t find space due to BB26 ending late and the CBS primetime schedule beginning later in the fall.

Reindeer Games wasn’t canceled, though. Maybe it could return next winter.

Zingbot is helping create buzz for Big Brother 26.

A new promo ad was released for this summer and it features Zingbot and host Julie Chen Moonves teasing what’s to come.

The new season arrives on July 17 as the first part of a two-night event debuts on CBS.

A $750,000 cash prize is on the line again, and we get a group of fresh faces making up the BB26 cast.

Details about the theme and the cast bios will come out later, but here’s our best guess for that drop date.

Big Brother alums are also hosting a watch party for the two-day premiere, giving fans a chance to meet members of the BB25 cast.

The recent New Jersey earthquake (a 4.8 on April 5) has led to people sharing videos of the Big Brother house going through earthquakes.

Since the Big Brother house is located in California, it isn’t rare for the players to experience the earth moving. But for some houseguests, it is the first time they have ever gone through one.

Luckily, no extensive damage has been sustained at the house during the various earthquakes, but it has led to some interesting moments on the Big Brother live feeds.

Live feed subscribers can watch online each season to see what the Big Brother players are up to in between episodes. That’s where juicy conversations and strategizing can take place.

And sometimes, the live feeds pick up something unexpected. We have had fans trying to yell information to houseguests, planes flying over the house with banners trailing, and even several kitchen fires.

Several medical situations have also happened,...

Nicole Anthony from Big Brother 21 just got married.

The wedding took place over the weekend, with Nicole marrying Brian Fontanez.

The Big Brother 25 season was slow and familiar.

Increasing the season to 100 days was a way for CBS to deal with the Hollywood strikes, but it also caused the season to drag for some fans.

Meanwhile, Peacock debuted The Traitors to huge fanfare, showing how reality competition shows could be fresh and fun again.

The Traitors 2 recently ended and was even more successful than the first season, leading to increased ratings and much buzz on social media.

The Traitors has also shown how to put together an intriguing cast of people returning to reality TV if Big Brother producers decide to try another All-Stars season.

Big Brother: Reindeer Games also had noteworthy success. The spin-off helped bridge the gap between summer seasons and was very entertaining. It set a new model for the franchise.

Big Brother 26 needs to learn from the success of Reindeer Games

Viewers who tuned in to Reindeer Games saw fresh challenges,...

Nicole Franzel showed off some impressive core strength in a new Instagram video.

While teasing that she and her husband, Victor Arroyo, have been trying to have another baby in the caption, the Big Brother showmance does a quick skit.

Using audio from the animated film Migration, Victor jumps onto Nicole’s shoulders. A caption over the video reads, “Me when I get a negative pregnancy test.”

Nicole recently returned to television to play Big Brother: Reindeer Games. She emerged as the winner, taking home a nice cash prize for beating fellow Big Brother legends.

Before her appearance on Reindeer Games, Nicole was on BB16 with Derrick Levasseur and Cody Calafiore, she won BB18 over Paul Abrahamian, and she returned for a third time on Big Brother: All-Stars 2 (BB22).

Outside of the Big Brother house, Nicole dated and then married Victor from BB18, the duo went on The Amazing Race together,...

Producers are working to construct the Big Brother 26 cast, and host Julie Chen Moonves is helping.

The BB26 cast will take over the Big Brother house during the summer of 2024.

These new players will compete for a $750,000 prize during a three-month season.

BB25 became the longest season in the history of the show. The houseguests playing the game this past summer had to survive 100 days.

Jag Bains beat Matt Klotz in a jury vote, with fans split on who deserved to win the stressful season.

The producers also included a casting twist with BB25. Survivor legend Cirie Field showed up in the house but was also secretly playing with her son, Jared Fields.

Memphis Garrett and Christmas Abbott have broken up and are getting a divorce!

The Big Brother stars met while competing on season 22 of the competition show, Big Brother: All Stars, and started dating shortly after, in December 2020. They got engaged in June 2021 and married in May 2022.

Now, TMZ reports that Memphis has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, and they both have shared statements about the split.

See what they said and find out more inside…

“It is unfortunate that the actions and intentions of individuals involved in this situation have led to the exposure of personal and sensitive information,” Christmas told TMZ. “I believe that matters of this nature should be resolved in a private and respectful manner. I ask for privacy at this time to focus on my family.”

“My heart hurts. I did not want to have to file for divorce. I was doing everything in my...

The marriage between Big Brother alums Memphis Garrett and Chicatmas Abbott may end soon.

It was recently reported that Christmas and Memphis are no longer living together.

Now, it has been confirmed that Memphis has filed for divorce.

Memphis appeared on Big Brother 10 — where he finished as the runner-up to winner Dan Gheesling.

Christmas was on Big Brother 19. The trio of Christmas, Josh Martinez, and Paul Abrahamian made it to the end, but she finished in third place.

Memphis and Christmas got invited back for Big Brother 22 (Big Brother: All-Stars 2), but they got eliminated right before the end.

After the show, the platonic showmance in the Big Brother house turned into a relationship in the real world. The couple got engaged a short time later and married in May 2022.

Memphis Garrett has reportedly filed for divorce

An updated report states that Memphis and Christmas were each planning to file for divorce,...

The Big Brother showmance between Christmas Abbott and Memphis Garrett may be ending.

A report from TMZ suggests that their marriage is heading for divorce and that they are no longer living together.

Christmas and Memphis met on Big Brother 22 – an All-Stars season inviting back players from the past.

The duo was part of the same large alliance, allowing them to spend much time together in the Big Brother house.

BB22 was also the season Cody Calafiore won, with Enzo Palumbo finishing as the runner-up and Nicole Franzel in third place.

After their time on Big Brother, Christmas, and Memphis began seeing each other in the real world. The Big Brother showmance developed into something more, and the couple married in Spring 2022.

Marriage possibly ending for Big Brother couple

Christmas and Memphis reportedly split up last week. It was also reported that she filed a temporary domestic violence restraining order against Memphis.

Big Brother 22 introduced Christmas Abbott and Memphis Garrett to each other.

CBS put together a season of All-Stars, leading to many people from the past getting another shot.

Memphis was originally on Big Brother 10 – where he finished as the runner-up to winner Dan Gheesling.

Christmas began her journey on Big Brother 19, finishing in third place as Josh Martinez won and Paul Abrahamian was the runner-up.

BB22 featured 14 other players, including eventual winner Cody Calafiore, runner-up Enzo Palumbo, BB18 winner Nicole Franzel, Janelle Pierzina, and Da’Vonne Rogers.

Christmas and Memphis aligned in the house, and their friendship grew as players began getting eliminated.

What did Christmas and Memphis do after Big Brother 22?

Soon after BB22 ended, Christmas and Memphis were spotted together at a Florida bar. The happy couple later confirmed rumors of a relationship.

In June of 2021, Christmas and Memphis revealed they were engaged – less than a year after...

Big Brother two-time competitor and The Challenge finalist Bayleigh Dayton met now-husband Chris “Swaggy C” Williams while competing on the CBS reality TV series in 2018. Where is Bayleigh now, and is she still married to Swaggy C?

Bayleigh Dayton is still married to Swaggy C Williams

Missouri native Bayleigh Dayton and Connecticut-based day trader Chris “Swaggy C” Williams met in 2018 while competing on CBS’s Big Brother 20. Even though he was evicted in Week 2, they formed a close showmance, and he proposed to her the next time he saw her at the finale.

They married a few months later, in February 2019, without a formal ceremony and kept the marriage a secret. The couple eventually revealed the news in a January 2020 YouTube video. In late 2019, Bayleigh and Swaggy C competed on The Challenge: Total Madness together, and then he announced his exit from reality TV.

Will this blow up #BBSwaggyC and #BBBayleigh's relationship?...

The Big Brother drama is neverending, especially regarding the disaster that was All-Stars 2. As fans recall, plenty of rumors surrounding a certain group of houseguests pregaming ran wild while season 22 aired on CBS. And according to one of the contestants, Janelle Pierzina, the pregaming in Big Brother has made its way to another reality series.

CBS selected Janelle and Nicole to be a part of the Big Brother 22 cast during the summer of 2020. It was a milestone season for the reality competition series, so All-Stars was in order. Janelle, one of the most beloved houseguests to ever play the game, appeared on Big Brother 6, Big Brother 7, and Big Brother 14. And Nicole was on Big Brother 16 and won Big Brother 18.

Prior to All-Stars 2, Janelle and Nicole competed against each other on...

When Memphis Garrett signed up for Big Brother: All Stars, finding love wasn't a goal. Instead, the reality star was focused on forming alliances, winning key competitions and taking home $500,000. But while separated from the outside world, Memphis built a connection with one houseguest that proved to be something special. In an exclusive interview with E!

Given that Big Brother is typically CBS's highest-rated show of the summer and it also airs multiple times a week, it's highly unlikely to be cancelled and sure to be renewed for a 23rd season. Since this is the 20th year anniversary of the show and we're also in the middle of a pandemic, will the ratings be higher or lower than usual? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.

A competitive reality TV series, hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, Big Brother typically airs three nights a week — Wednesdays (veto), Thursdays (eviction), and Sundays. The 22nd season is the second all-star season in the show's 20-year history. The returning players are Christmas Abbott, David Alexander, Nicole Anthony, Dani Briones, Cody Calafiore, Kevin "Kc" Campbell, Tyler Crispen, Bayleigh Dayton, Nicole Franzel, Memphis Garrett, Enzo Palumbo, Janelle Pierzina, Kaysar Ridha, Da’Vonne Rogers, Keesha Smith, and Ian Terry.

Who will come out on top in the 22nd season of the Big Brother TV show on CBS? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Big Brother is cancelled or renewed for season 23. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we invite you to rate all of the 22nd season episodes of Big Brother here. *Status Update Below.

Just as Gold Derby predicted, Cody Calafiore (aka Bb Comics’ The Cali-Fury) became the winner of “Big Brother 22” on Wednesday, October 28. He faced off against Enzo Palumbo in the final two after solely eliminating Nicole Franzel when he took the last Head of Household. (Read our minute-by-minute finale recap.) By claiming the title of “All-Stars” champion, Cody became the 15th man to win “Big Brother” across 22 seasons, compared to only seven women.

The first two winners of CBS’s reality TV show were both men: the often-forgotten Eddie McGee (Season 1) and frequent returnee Dr. Will Kirby (Season 2). Following that, two women won consecutively for the first and only time in “Bb” history, Lisa Donahue (Season 3) and Jun Song (Season 4), neither of whom have ever been invited back to play again.

Besides Cody, Eddie and Will, the other dozen male winners were...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched the season finale of “Big Brother: All-Stars.”

In lieu of its usual live studio audience, “Big Brother” wrapped its 20th summer and yet another season of twists, surprises and controversies by awarding its second-ever “All-Stars” winner.

Host Julie Chen Moonves kicked off the night with Part 2 of the final Head of Household competition in which Cody Calafiore and Enzo Palumbo faced off to compete against Nicole Franzel who won last week’s Part 1 endurance game.

In a game of “Camera Hogs,” the two male players identified the faces of evicted houseguests and matched their photo with clues displayed on postcard boards. Then, they had to walk across a log, while avoiding getting knocked down by large pig heads swinging from side-to-side.

After making it across the bridge, Cody and Enzo had to hit a buzzer to take a “photo...

To no surprise, CBS will be inviting a whole new group of Houseguests over for the summer of 2021. The network has officially renewed the Big Brother TV series for a 23rd season with Julie Chen Moonves returning as host. Season 22 wraps tonight.

Cody Calafiore, Nicole Franzel and Enzo Palumbo are in the final three on “Big Brother 22,” and as Julie Chen Moonves noted on Thursday, they’ve all been here before. The trio has joined just three other people as the only players to make multiple final threes on the show.

The other three are Janelle Pierzina, Dan Gheesling and Paul Abrahamian. Janelle did it first in back-to-back years, placing third on Seasons 6 and 7, the first all-stars outing. Dan won Season 10 and then finished second on Season 14 to Ian Terry, becoming the first person to reach two final twos. Paul later joined him, finishing runner-up on Seasons 18 and 19 to Nicole and Josh Martinez, respectively.

Nicole’s victory came after she took seventh place on Season 16, in which Cody placed second to Derrick Levasseur. Enzo got third place on Season 12.

Season 22 of “Big Brother” ends on Wednesday, October 28 with a live two-hour finale on CBS that kicks off at 9:00 pm Et/8:00 pm Ct. Three houseguests are still in the running for the $500,000 grand prize: Cody Calafiore, Nicole Franzel and Enzo Palumbo. On Monday’s episode, we saw Nicole win Part 1 of the 3-part Final Head of Household competition. Keep reading if you want “Big Brother” spoilers on who won Part 2 of the Final Hoh and who is all but certain to win #BB22.

Part 2 took place on Saturday and saw Cody and Enzo do battle. After Enzo failed miserably in just a few minutes, Cody emerged as the winner. That means he and Nicole will face off on the live episode in Part 3 of the Final Head of Household competition. The winner of that will get to choose which of the other two to take to the #BB22 jury.

Well, we made it. Somehow. The “Big Brother 22” finale is here after the most painfully dull season imaginable. Tuesday, the last full day in the house, was much ado about nothing except packing and Enzo Palumbo continuing to hold out hope that Cody Calafiore will take him to the end.

Poor guy. He still believes. Well, guess he has to. In his final late-night cam-talk, Enzo tried to justify his choice to keep Nicole Franzel in the triple eviction, arguing that he needed her to stay to win comps and be a target. He didn’t think David Alexander would win anything and would be an easy pawn everyone would want to take to the end. False! Memphis Garrett would’ve kept coming for him, bro. Enzo wanted Christmas Abbott to win the final five Hoh to take out Nicole, but it was “bad luck” that her pumpkin popped out.

After three months and 37 episodes, season 22 of “Big Brother” ends on Wednesday (October 28) with a two-hour live finale. We’ve been glued to live feeds since last Thursday’s episode of #BB22 so keep reading for all the “Big Brother” spoilers. We can tell you who is in the Final 2 and which of these houseguests will win this all-star edition of “Big Brother” and claim both bragging rights and the $500,000 prize.

After the live October 22 episode, which saw the eviction of Christmas Abbott, the Final 3 players were Cody Calafiore, Nicole Franzel and Enzo Palumbo. On Monday’s episode, we saw Nicole win Part 1 of the 3-part Final Head of Household competition.

After Nicole won Part 1 on Thursday, Cody and Enzo were pitted against each other in Part 2 on Saturday. Enzo knew that it was do-or-die for her and that he must win. Part 2 played out offline and when the feeds...

In an absolutely, thoroughly expected development, Cody Calafiore beat Enzo Palumbo in Part 2 of the final Hoh on “Big Brother 22,” so you can all take a breather until Wednesday’s finale. Cody and Nicole Franzel will face off in Part 3 and likely take each other to the final two as they’ve promised each other all season. We know it, and Enzo knows it too.

The Meow Meow apparently had a meow-ltdown after Saturday’s comp, in which he flopped, coming in at 37 minutes to Cody’s four minutes (big fat Yikes). He told feedsters he lost his cool and “cracked” and had his “biggest blowup of the season,” so this might be the only thing to look forward to.

And in the moment we’ve all been waiting for, Enzo finally lamented not evicting Nicole when he had the chance during the triple eviction. He would later tell Cody...

This week the winner of “Big Brother 22” will be crowned from a group of three All-Stars that each reached the final three before. Nicole Franzel, winner of season 18, is playing for her third time overall while Cody Calafiore, runner-up of season 16, and Enzo Palumbo, third place in season 12, are both playing for their second. Earlier this season we clocked them as the likeliest set of finalists, but now the game’s earliest and most loyal alliances must crack as only one of them can win the final Head of Household to choose who sits next to them in the finale.

According to our combined predictions, Cody is the favorite to win with 53/20 odds. Enzo is who we think has the second best chance of winning with 22/1 odds and Nicole is the least likely winner with 89/1 odds. Will those odds hold as the multiple stages of the final Hoh comp unfold,...

Last week on “Big Brother 22,” Christmas Abbott became the newest member of the jury thanks to Cody Calafiore, who cast the sole vote to evict. In doing so, he also cemented the final three houseguests of Season 22: Nicole Franzel, Cody and Enzo Palumbo. The last week inside the house will be chock-full of competitions, with the first part of the final Head of Household playing out on Monday night. The winner of this comp will advance automatically to Part 3 (which will air live on finale night), where they’ll face off against the winner of Part 2. So who took the early Hoh lead during the penultimate “BB22” episode?

Keep reading if you dare as we have all your “Big Brother” 22 spoilers.

Monday’s episode of “Big Brother” was taped and includes Part 1 of the Final Hoh competition, which took place offline late last Thursday (Oct. 22). Part 2 happened while the feeds were down on Saturday evening (Oct. 24).

We know that Nicole won Part 1 when she finished the physical challenge first. Even she was surprised when she pulled off this victory, which required her to scale a wall.

Monday’s episode of “Big Brother” will begin with the immediate aftermath of last Thursday’s live episode, which concluded with the eviction of Christmas Abbott. That left just three houseguests still in the competition to win this all-star edition: Cody Calafiore, Nicole Franzel and Enzo Palumbo.

Expect lots of talk from Cody, Enzo and Nicole as they recall the twists and turns that led them to be the three finalists. And we should see the start of Part 1 of the Final Head of Household competition that...

The Final Head of Household competition of “Big Brother” 22 is now two-thirds over. Two of the Final 3 — Cody Calafiore and Enzo Palumbo — went head-to-head on Saturday in Part 2 of this three-part Hoh event. We’ve been keeping a keen eye on the live feeds and have all the “Big Brother” spoilers, including the results as to who won this make-or-break stage of #BB22.

Part 1 played out on Thursday, right after the live episode that saw the eviction of Christmas Abbott. The winner of Part 1, which turned out to be a test of physical agility, was Nicole Franzel. She will face off against the Part 2 winner in Part 3, which is set to take place during the live “Big Brother” finale on Wednesday, October 28.

Part 2 of the Final Hoh competition has traditionally been a combination of physical endurance and mental agility. Last year the producers shaked up the format and moved this to the first position.

And then there were three. With the finale of “Big Brother 22” scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, all eyes are now on which player has what it takes to go the distance and win the $500,000 grand prize.

For almost the entire season Cody Calafiore has dominated Gold Derby’s predictions, and he still leads with 53/20 odds to win. Second place goes to Enzo Palumbo with 20/1 odds, followed by Nicole Franzel at 100/1 odds. Do you agree or disagree with the predictions of your fellow fans? There’s still time to make your own picks.

Making it to finale night is nothing new for this trio of popular “All-Stars.” Nicole has actually won the game before (Season 18) and recently made history as the person to play the most days in the “Big Brother” house, shattering the records of Janelle Pierzina, Daniele Briones and Paul Abrahamian.

The final Head of Household competition of “Big Brother” 22 will determine the two houseguests who face the jury on October 28. Part 1 of this three-part Hoh competition took place soon after the end of Thursday’s live episode, which concluded with the eviction of Christmas Abbott.

If you can’t wait till Monday’s episode to find out the result and get a preview of Part 2 then keep reading for all the latest “Big Brother” spoilers. We’ve been glued to the live feeds and have all the details.

In the past, Part 1 has been a test of physical endurance while Part 2 has been a combination of mental and physical ability. While “Big Brother” producers switched those around last year, they returned to the traditional format for this all-star season.

Nicole went all out and won Part 1 of the Final Hoh.

The 22nd season of “Big Brother” is inching closer and closer to the finish line, where two huge questions will be answered: Who will join the “Bb” winners list and who will be named America’s Favorite Houseguest?

At the end of Thursday’s live episode of “Big Brother,” Christmas Abbott said goodbye after Cody Calafiore cast the sole vote to evict. That meant only three people were left in the running to win the $500,000 prize: Cody, Enzo Palumbo and Nicole Franzel. The final Head of Household competition will begin during Monday’s episode, but before that fans were rewarded with what Julie Chen Moonves called a “special episode you do not want to miss” on Friday night.

Then be sure to sound off in the comments section about your favorite houseguests on CBS’s long-running reality TV show, who annoys you the most...

Hey, fellow "Big Brother" fans. Happy Friday. We are back with another very important update from inside the Big Brother season 22, All-Stars house. As we previously told you, the 3-part Hoh (Head Of Household) competition is the next big event for this season, and it will start with round 1. Well, it turns out that round 1 was indeed played late last night after the Live eviction show that featured Christmas Abbott getting evicted and sent off to the jury house. That left Cody, Nicole and Enzo as our final three houseguests of this season According to the folks over at Big Brother Network, the first round Hoh comp was very brutal. It involved spinning on ropes or something of that nature, and it made Enzo very nauseous.

Finally, a twist we didn’t see coming on “Big Brother 22”: Nicole Franzel won Part 1 of the final Hoh on Thursday. That’s great news for her (duh) and Cody Calafiore, and bad news for Enzo Palumbo unless he can pull a rabbit out of his head scarf in Part 2.

Everyone expected Cody to take Part 1 since it’s endurance, but apparently both dudes rode the struggle bus. It was a swinging ropes comp and they had to jump over a moon, but Enzo and Cody kept hitting the wall. Enzo fell after 15-20 minutes, followed by Cody. They estimated the comp lasted around 30 minutes, so not much of an endurance. Nicole was apparently rock solid the whole time and barely hit a wall, so it sounds like weight was perhaps a factor since they had to sling over the moon.

Nicole was obviously ecstatic about her win, Cody...

“I saw that coming for weeks!” exclaimed Christmas Abbott after becoming the latest All-Star evicted from the “Big Brother” house on Thursday night’s live eviction episode. Christmas was sent packing by a vote of 1-0 over Season 18 champ Nicole Franzel when Cody Calafiore cast the sole vote to evict her. After winning the final Power of Veto for Season 22, Cody guaranteed his spot in the final three alongside reigning Head of Household Enzo Palumba, as well as the power to decide who would join them in the upcoming finale on Wednesday, October 28.

“I gave it a good, scrappy fight,” Christmas joked as she met up with host Julie Chen Moonves for her exit interview before heading to the jury house. “I’m a little bit in shock. I expected Cody to keep Nicole, but still getting evicted is shocking.

Heading into the final Thursday episode of “Big Brother 22,” both Enzo Palumbo (the Head of Household winner) and Cody Calafiore (the Veto champion) had already advanced to the final three. Cody earned the sole power to evict either Christmas Abbott and Nicole Franzel, and by doing so he’d also be naming the third finalist. Did the Cali-Fury end up sending home Christmas, the person he had no allegiance with but who he could possibly beat in the end, or Nicole, his closest ally in the game but someone he’d have a tougher time winning against?

Well, at least it’s Thursday so we can end the most boring week on a season of boring weeks on “Big Brother 22” yet. Nothing happened Wednesday. Shocking, we know. Christmas Abbott made one final pitch to Cody Calafiore, but this time he actually shut her down.

Christmas argued again that taking Nicole Franzel to final three is a bad idea since she’s a former winner and she’ll likely have some key jury votes from certain people with whom she was friendly and who are probably impressed she made it to the end again. Cody, probably tired of “uh-huh”-ing, told Christmas that there’s nothing she can say that will affect his decision and he will do what’s best for his game. Translation: “Leave me the hell alone.”

Once Christmas was gone, Cody complained to feedsters about Christmas’ go-to “transparent” campaign tactic of telling people they...

As this all-star season of “Big Brother” winds down, things are really heating up. Thursday’s live episode will see the final 4 lose one houseguest. We’ve been watching the live feeds and can report spoilers on who is all but certain to be in the Final 3, barring a last-minute change of heart by Cody Calafiore, the winner of the Power of Veto competition. Keep reading if you want to know who will be in the final three and vote for which of these houseguests you’d like to see win #BB22.

Enzo Palumbo guaranteed himself a spot in the Final 3 with his win last Thursday in the competition to be Week 11 Head of Household. It was no surprise when he bypassed his pal Cody and named Christmas Abbott and Nicole Frankel as the eviction nominations. Christmas was designated as the target, and Cody was tasked with voting him out...

Thursday’s live episode 34 of “Big Brother” will end with the eviction of the unlucky 13th houseguest in the first 10 weeks of the competition. Six men have been sent home to date: Kaysar Ridha (week 4); Ian Terry (week 6); both Kevin Campbell and David Alexander (week 8); and Tyler Crispen (week 9). And another half dozen women have been evicted from the BB22 house: Keesha Smith (week 1); Nicole Anthony (week 2); Janelle Pierzina (week 3); Bayleigh Dayton (week 5), Da’Vonne Rogers (week 7) and Dana Briones (week 8).

Joining Ian, Da’Vonne, Kevin, David, Dani, Tyler and Memphis on the jury will be either Christmas Abbott or Nicole Frankel. Keep reading if you want all the “Big Brother 22” spoilers, including who will be leaving the house in the Week 11 eviction on October 22.

It is hard to believe that less than a week has passed since Enzo Palumbo took the title of Head of Household for only the second time this season.

“I really need to consider who I want to evict this week,” Cody Calafiore declared at the end of Wednesday’s Veto episode of “Big Brother 22.” Cody prevailed during the hard-fought hamster wheel challenge, which now gives him the sole power to evict either Christmas Abbott and Nicole Franzel on Thursday night. Cody and Enzo Palumbo, the week’s Head of Household, are both now safe, so Cody’s decision will also reveal who completes the final three. Big stakes, Cali-Fury!

Cody added in the Diary Room, “Between Christmas and Nicole, Nicole is somebody that I’m very, very loyal to. But is loyalty what’s going to win me this game? Because the last time I played this game, loyalty got me second place and I didn’t come back to get anything short of first.” He’s referring to Season 16, in which Derrick Levasseur won in a 7–2 vote...

When Enzo Palumbo won the “Knight Moves” Head of Household competition earlier in the week, he secured himself a place in the final three of “Big Brother 22.” The “Meow-Meow” later nominated Christmas Abbott and Nicole Franzel for eviction, but as we all know, this is the week where the Veto holder is actually the most powerful player in the game. Not only does this person automatically advance to the top three, but he or she also gets to cast the sole vote to evict. So who ended up winning the final Veto comp of Season 22: Enzo, Christmas, Nicole or Cody Calafiore?

Can we just fast-forward to Thursday already? Tuesday was more of the same in the “Big Brother 22” house: sleeping, eating and pranks. Rinse and repeat. Christmas Abbott made another futile pitch to Cody Calafiore while Enzo Palumbo finally pondered if he ought to cut his boy at final three.

Enzo is still playing both sides here and trying to work that jury vote from Christmas by advising her on her pitches to Cody. He also claimed he’s been trying to talk Cody into evicting Nicole Franzel, which is not a complete lie since he has brought it up, but also a stretch since he knows the final three is all but set. He told Christmas to throw him under the bus to Cody if she has to and promise that she would take Cody, not Enzo, to the final two. Christmas did all those things, adding that he would...

If you’re like us, we know you can wait for Wednesday’s episode of “Big Brother” to find out what is going on in the house in the second last week of season 22. We’ve been watching the live feeds and have all the “Big Brother” 22 spoilers, including everything you’ll see on October 21. We can tell you that episode 33 will be jam-packed as it will include both scenes from Saturday’s nail-biter of a Power of Veto competition and a recap of Monday’s Pov ceremony results.

Right after the end of last Thursday’s live episode, the Week 11 Head of Household competition took place. Enzo Palumbo, who hadn’t won the title of Hoh since Week 4, finally prevailed again and it couldn’t have come at a better time in the competition. On Friday, he set his eviction nominations as Christmas Abbott and Nicole Franzel.

All of...

Monday was another slow one in the “Big Brother 22,” especially since the Veto ceremony, the final one, won’t be held until Thursday’s eviction because it’s just one vote to evict. But nothing’s changed: Christmas Abbott is still going, and it’s still Cody Calafiore‘s to lose.

Both Enzo Palumbo and Nicole Franzel still want to take Cody to the final two, which is wild. Cody can’t quite believe it either and spent some time cam-talking, going over the final three scenarios and his game altogether. He’s gotten himself into a position where he doesn’t have to win the final Hoh, but he hopes neither of them will actually cut him. He trusts Enzo more to take him to the final two because he thinks Nicole can be “sneaky like that” and is “slick,” especially with the way she talks about the final...
