Big Brother 25 has a big night on August 24.
The evening began with a new episode at 9/8c on CBS.
An Eviction Ceremony took place, but host Julie Chen Moonves did hint at a twist coming.
The remaining houseguests began playing in a new Head of Household Competition at the end of the episode.
Julie said goodbye as the challenge began, but here is how you can watch it live.
For fans who want to know the results, below will be a play-by-play of what takes place.
Important Endurance Challenge on Big Brother 25
With several alliances fractured, winning the August 24 HOH Challenge is vital.
The producers brought back a challenge that was on Big Brother 6. It could add an extra layer of excitement.
The challenge is called the Pressure Cooker. It could require much endurance from the players — unless the rules are changed to end it quickly.
During BB6, the challenge lasted almost 15 hours. Several houseguests knew how important it was to win power.
Here is a breakdown of the Pressure Cooker and how it works.
Who wins the Pressure Cooker on Big Brother 25?
This is where spoilers will be revealed on the evening of Thursday, August 24.
Julie got things started by revealing that no sitting was allowed. And there are no bathroom breaks. The task was to keep their hands on a buzzer.
And then the lights went out.
As each person gets eliminated, they have to select a mystery card.
Shortly after the episode ended, the live feeds crashed on Paramount+.

Noises could be heard around them, and since it was still pitch black, some people began to get nervous.

Felicia gave up on hanging out in the living room and took a snack to bed.
Update at 5:13 a.m. PT / 8:13 a.m. ET: Red, America, Jag, Cameron, Blue, Cory, and Mecole kept holding on. Matt and Bowie Jane looked miserable sitting in the corner. They needed a third person to drop before they could leave the challenge.

America and Cameron were the last two standing.

It’s probably good that Felicia cemented a final two alliance ahead of this.
