Big Brother 28 Spoilers – Final 4 Melody Evicted

Melody has been evicted. The feeds went down for about three hours, and when they came back the week was over — the veto ceremony, the vote and the eviction had all happened behind the blackout. Four houseguests are left on Big Brother 28: Devens, Drew, Dee and Taylor.

• Evicted: Melody, the fifth juror.
• Still in the house: Devens, Drew, Dee and Taylor — final four.
• Head of Household: Devens, who nominated Drew and Melody on Friday.
• Power of Veto: Drew, won on Saturday.
• What happened off-feeds: the veto ceremony and the eviction vote, both inside the same blackout.
• The jury: Lala, Angela, Barrett, Yash and now Melody.

What happened behind the blackout

Going into it, the week had a shape everybody could see. Drew held the veto and was expected to use it on himself, which would leave Devens to name a replacement beside Melody. Only two people would be able to vote — Drew and Dee — and Drew had already told Devens he would not be the one to send Melody home. That put the eviction one vote away from a tie, and a tie in the hands of the Head of Household.

Then the feeds cut. Three hours later they returned and Melody was gone.

We did not see the ceremony, the replacement nomination or the vote, so we are not going to describe them as though we did. What is certain is the outcome: Melody is out, four are left, and she joins Lala, Angela, Barrett and Yash in the jury house.

How the week got here

Thursday took two people out. Barrett and Yash both left in the same night, and Devens came out of it as Head of Household — a job he did not know was coming. “I didn’t even realize I had to nominate people. I thought I was off the hook.”

Friday, he put up Drew and Melody — and spent the afternoon being told no by both of the people he did not nominate. Dee got to him first and refused to volunteer. Drew came up to the HOH room and spent eleven minutes arguing, then tried to leave his mother’s letter and his jewelry behind as collateral.

Saturday morning, Dee promised the veto to both nominees inside twenty minutes. To Melody at 10:21: “Just know that I’m thinking, if I win this veto, to use it on you. But do not tell them.” To Drew at 10:38, when he asked her to swear it: “I swear. And I’m going to gun for it, too.”

She never had to keep either promise. Drew won the veto himself.

By Saturday midnight it was settled, and Melody was the only one who didn’t know. Drew sat with her in the pod room until she asked him not to leave, then went straight to the bathroom and spent fourteen minutes agreeing with Dee that she is the one going. “She still thinks it’s up in the air. She thinks that you like her more than Taylor. So she’s like, maybe she’ll save me.”

Fourteen minutes later Melody was back in the pod room with Taylor, working it out anyway.

She was right, and she worked it out two days before the house bothered to tell her.

The missing $10,000

Somebody pressed a button this week and took $10,000, and the house spent three days trying to work out who. Taylor and Melody were certain it was Drew. Drew says it wasn’t, and he and Dee both think it was Devens. Dee, on Sunday morning: “I think it’s Devens. I think it’s for sure Devens.”

Nobody has been told what the Pharaoh is either. Taylor’s theory was that it was only ever the reason this week ran so fast — which, given how it ended, has not aged badly.

Where the final four stands

Devens and Dee are the last two Icons, and they are now half the house. Drew and Taylor are what is left of a newbie group that started the merge six strong and spent the last three weeks nominating each other.

Drew has won the last two vetoes. Devens has the only Head of Household win of the four since the double. And with a jury of five already seated and a finale inside the week, the next competition is close to the whole game.

2:00 pm

Feeds go on for about 10 minutes then down to pound puppies again at 2:13 pm
