Big Brother 25 is doing things differently in Week 1.
Usually, a Head of Household is crowned first, and then the nominations for eviction are revealed.
The HOH typically has the power to put their targets on the block.
During the BB25 debut episode, host Julie Chen Moonves announced that the Scramble-verse had other plans.
Four challenges took place on Day One, with the loser of each challenge becoming a nominee.
The winners of the first three challenges showed that they were good at playing these games.
Who is nominated for eviction?
The four nominees for eviction are listed below. A twist is likely coming to get that number down to two, possibly by the HOH deciding on their nominees from that group. Fans will find out later how this all works.
- First nominee: Jared Fields
- Second nominee: Kirsten Elwin
- Third nominee: Felicia Cannon
- Fourth nominee: Cory Wurtenberger
Cory also has an additional punishment after getting dragged off at the end of the fourth challenge. More on that will be explained during the August 6 episode.
Who won the four Day One challenges?
The winners of the BB Comic-verse, Humili-verse, and Scramble-verse challenges could acquire early targets on themselves in Week 1.
Below are the houseguests who won the Week 1 challenges:
- America Lopez won the Scramble-verse Challenge.
- Matt Klotz won the Humili-verse Challenge.
- Jag Bains won the Comic-verse Challenge.
- Reilly Smedley, Red Utley, and Luke Valentine “won” the Scary-verse Challenge.
