Rick Devens entered Week 8 sitting atop our power rankings. Now his game may come down to one do-or-die competition.
Tuesday’s live feeds made it clear that Devens will almost certainly be evicted if he fails to win the BB Blockbuster. Barrett wants an Icon out, while even longtime allies Dee and Angela are preparing to vote against him.
Here’s what you need to know from Tuesday’s Big Brother live feeds.
Check out our Big Brother power rankings after Week 7!
Big Brother Season 28 Week 8 Results
Sunday’s episode began Week 8 of the summer-long competition in unusual fashion. Rather than immediately moving to an HOH competition, the houseguests were sent back to medieval times for another twist.
Sunday’s episode ended on a cliffhanger, but if you have been keeping an eye on the live feeds, you know what happened. In the end, Haley could not earn a victory despite having three chances and was eliminated. Dee continued to prioritize Haley over ally Barrett in the medieval twist, further driving him to the other side of the house. Drew went on to win HOH, Yash won the veto comp and Devens was named as a replacement nominee.
Got all that? Good. It will be interesting to see how production jams this all into Wednesday’s episode to set up the most consequential BB Blockbuster and live eviction vote of the season as Devens’ game is on the line and we could see our first Icon go home.
- Eliminated this week: Haley
- Head of Household: Drew
- Power of Veto winner: Yash
- Nominees:
Yash, LaTrice, Taylor, Devens (Yash used the Power of Veto on himself, with Devens being named replacement nominee) - Evicted last week: Mallory
- Remaining players: 9
- Next episode: Wednesday, September 2
Big Brother Tuesday Live Feed Spoilers
Rick about to get rolled
If it wasn’t clear before, it’s certainly clear after Tuesday’s live feeds — if Devens doesn’t win the BB Blockbuster he is going home on Thursday. And we got two important indications that Devens is truly and royally cooked.
First, Barrett confirmed that he is not backtracking — he is now fully anti-Icons. Last week’s turn was not a temporary move. During a cam talk, he said going to Final 3 with Devens would not be fun and channeled Mallory in revealing how he really feels about the Icons right now. He admits he would rather go out eighth taking his shot at the Icons than sticking with them and finishing fifth.

I think it would be way more fun to go forward in this game with one less icon. And with Devens just being so tripped out & nervous, it's exhausting. I kind of just want to see how far this middle can take me. I do not want to go the rest of this game and… pic.twitter.com/ORWtu8uW6L

However, what was more surprising was that Dee now seems determined to vote Devens out. Not only is she annoyed with some of the things he’s been saying, but she and Angela have turned their paranoia on Devens, fearing he is now closer to Drew and Barrett than he is them. It’s completely wrong, but it’s how they apparently feel. Their plan as of now is for at least one of them to vote to evict Devens, with the thought being the vote would be 4-2 and they could shift blame to Barrett. Of course, they don’t realize that won’t work since Barrett is going to vote to evict Devens, which would make the vote 5-1. One would think Dee and Angela would not want a repeat of the drama around the Lyric blindside, but here we are.
Angela is asking Dee why they have to lie about evicting Devens. Dee just says she has to. Angela is asking why they both can’t just evict Devens. Dee says one of them plus Barrett has to vote to keep him so they can both say they voted to keep him. Barrett is not voting to keep… pic.twitter.com/TuxKM2ZDWa

No matter how it all goes down, the bottom line is Devens has almost no shot to stay unless he can win the Blockbuster. It’s truly do or die for him this week. But it would be very interesting to see whether or not the Icons can band back together if he does pull himself off the block.
Around the house roundup
Whatever showmance/flirtmance that is going on between Melody and Drew continued late into the night. It seems like there is still distrust and wariness on both sides, but at the very least they clearly like hanging out together. It’s a unique situation to have a showmance where the two parties are on opposite sides of the house. It looked like we might get an HOH sleepover, but Drew actually chose to send Melody back downstairs. It will be interesting to see where this relationship goes once Drew is no longer in power.

And finally, if you had Devens learning how to Griddy on your Big Brother bingo card, congratulations! I, for one, did not.
