Episode 12 Recap: Live Eviction and New HOH
Episode 12, which aired on Thursday, July 30, 2026, was a live eviction episode. It marked another dramatic night in the Big Brother house.
The episode began with the houseguests preparing for the live vote. Jason became the third person evicted from the Big Brother house in Season 28. The vote was unanimous, with all 12 voting houseguests choosing to send Jason out the door.
Following Jason’s eviction, the remaining houseguests competed in the next Head of Household (HOH) competition. Haley emerged as the winner, securing the HOH key and the power to nominate three houseguests for eviction.
Haley’s HOH win set the stage for Episode 13. As the new HOH, she holds significant power over the week’s nominations. The episode also featured the Power of Veto (POV) competition, where Taylor scored her first victory of the season.
Episode 13 Preview: Nominations and Alliances
Episode 13, airing on Sunday, August 2, will feature the Head of Household nominating three fellow houseguests for possible eviction. This is a standard Sunday episode format for Big Brother, where the HOH’s nominations are revealed.
Spoilers indicate that Haley, the current HOH, has already made a bold move by nominating her own alliance member, Drew, on the block. Drew is currently sitting next to Melody and Taylor. Unbeknownst to Drew, he is Haley’s main target.
Drew, a Big Brother superfan, has put too much trust in the wrong alliances. Members of The Red Corner and The Crossovers view him as untrustworthy. He lost the Power of Veto competition, which further complicates his position.
Taylor, who won the POV, will remove herself from the block during the POV ceremony. This will force Haley to name a replacement nominee. Initially, Haley planned to nominate Mallory as a safe choice. However, she is now considering nominating Lyric instead.
The episode will likely showcase the growing tensions within The Toolshed alliance and the shifting dynamics in the house. With Drew facing a potential blindside, Episode 13 promises high drama and strategic gameplay.

Why You Should Watch
Big Brother Season 28 continues to deliver compelling reality television. The show’s format—where houseguests are constantly monitored, compete in challenges, and vote each other out—creates a unique social experiment.
The “Time Trip” theme adds a nostalgic twist to the season, with competitions and twists inspired by different eras. Season 28 also marks a milestone, as it includes the series’ 1,000th original episode.
The current week’s gameplay is particularly intriguing. An HOH targeting their own alliance member is a risky move that could have major consequences. Drew’s potential eviction would shake up the power structure in the house. The nominations and the subsequent POV ceremony will determine the trajectory of the game.
For fans who cannot get enough, Paramount+ offers 24/7 live feeds, allowing viewers to watch the houseguests in real-time. The aftershow, Big Brother: Unlocked, airs on Fridays and features panelists Jerry O’Connell, Taylor Hale, and Derrick Levasseur discussing the week’s events.
Big Brother Season 28 Episode 13 airs Sunday, August 2, at 8/7c on CBS and streams live on Paramount+ Premium.
