Overview
- Rick Devens won Week 2 Head of Household and then the Power of Veto, which he used to remove Lyric and name Rome Seymour as the replacement nominee.
- Jason De Puy won the BB Block Buster competition on Thursday, taking himself off the block and leaving Melody and Rome as the final nominees.
- The live eviction vote was 12 to 1 to evict Rome with Taylor casting the lone vote against his eviction.
- Live-feed coverage and episode footage captured alliance bargaining, a staged breakup by Rome and Lyric meant to sway the Veto outcome, and a heated confrontation between Angela Murray and Jason De Puy.
- The result cements early power for the returnee-led bloc and highlights how the season's three-nom rules and Block Buster twist let a single competition win reshape nominations and the week's outcome.
