‘Big Brother’ Season 28, Week 5 Eviction: Fifth Housemate Voted Out After Surprising BB Block Buster

The Story

SPOILER ALERT: This post contains details on Big Brother Season 28, Episode 19, which aired on Thursday, August 13.

Julie Chen Moonves returned to host another live eviction of Big Brother Season 28 as the competition heats up in a divided house.

La Trice Verrett was the Head of Household (HOH) in Week 5 of the CBS competition and there was one clear target.

As HOH, La Trice put up three housemates for eviction: Haley Thogmartin, Barrett Pfeiffer and Chuk Anyanwu.

The Veto Competition came around which would give the opportunity to those involved to pull someone off the block or keep the nominations the same. Following the competition, it was Kamu Kirk who got the medallion and the power.

Despite some hope from Haley and Chuk for Kamu to use the POV on one of them, Kamu opted to keep nominations the same.

As a last resort, the three nominated housemates still had the BB Block Buster competition on eviction night. The winner of this competition takes themselves off the block and is granted another week in the house.
