An endurance-style Power of Veto followed. Yash and Drew were the last two standing, and after negotiations, Drew emerged with the Veto and removed himself from the block. Yash then inserted Taylor Brown as the replacement nominee.
Block Buster safety and Barrett’s eviction
The season’s last Block Buster contest awarded a single safety. Contestants Barrett, Melody and Taylor competed, with Melody Morris winning decisively and securing immunity for the first eviction of the night.
When the house cast its votes, three voted to evict Barrett and one voted to evict Taylor. By a 3–1 margin, Barrett became the eleventh player sent to the Jury House.
Rapid gameplay: double eviction and new HOH
The episode moved straight into a double eviction, forcing a condensed week of competition and decisions. Melody won Head of Household during the accelerated play and nominated Rick Devens and Dee Valladares, putting two high-profile players at risk.
Rick Devens won the Power of Veto and used it on himself. Melody named Yash as the replacement nominee, setting up the final vote of the night.
Final votes and jury additions
House votes in the sudden-death round split, with Taylor casting a vote to evict Dee and Devens and Drew voting to evict Yash. The result was a 2–1 eviction of Yash, who became the fourth member of the jury.
With the double eviction complete, Barrett and Yash joined La Trice Verrett and Angela Murray in the Jury House.
Who remains
The field is now down to five competitors still eligible to win the season. The Final Five are Dee Valladares, Drew Campbell, Melody Morris, Rick Devens and Taylor Brown.
