For the second time this season, two houseguests were about to be evicted on “Big Brother 25.” However, unlike the last double eviction, there would be no zombie comeback twist to save one of their games. The first person booted would be either America Lopez or Blue Kim, as they were both nominated by Head of Household Jag Bains. Following that ouster, we would see an entire week’s worth of gameplay, with an HOH comp, a nominations ceremony, a Veto challenge, a Veto meeting and a second eviction.
Below, read our minute-by-minute “Big Brother” Season 25, Episode 36 recap/live blog to find out what happened on Thursday, October 26 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
Here are the seven houseguests still in the running to win the $750,000 grand prize: America Lopez, Blue Kim, Bowie Jane, Felicia Cannon, Jag Bains, Matt Klotz and Cirie Fields. The jury house currently includes two people: Cameron Hardin and Cory Wurtenberger.

9:00 p.m. – “Previously on ‘Big Brother’!” In the 35th episode, the Final 4 deal between Jag, Matt, Felicia and Cirie hit a snag when Felicia secretly told Jag that Cirie was betraying his trust regarding Blue being his real target. After Jag won the Humili-verse Veto competition, he had a tough choice to make. Would he keep his noms of America and Blue the same, or would be backdoor Cirie? Ultimately he decided not to use his power, meaning either America or Blue were about to be sent to the jury house.
9:02 p.m. – Though both nominees were told they’re pawns this week, only America was untrusting of that position and was poised to do what she can to stay in the house. Meanwhile, Cirie was laser-focused on saving Blue and if that wasn’t possible then she needed it to be a tie so that Jag would have to break the tie publicly. Felicia was wary of Cirie’s plan, seeing it as an opportunity for Cirie to angle herself in a better position and leaving Felicia out of her end game.
9:04 p.m. – After Cirie tried to get Felicia to help her save Blue, Felicia went to Jag to tell him that Cirie and Matt are discussing when the best time to take Jag out would be. Felicia’s motive was to prove her trust to Jag, but because Matt was involved Jag wasn’t immediately trusting of what Felicia was telling him. The truth is that Matt and Cirie did have a conversation about how powerful Jag is and that Matt knows eventually he needs to take a shot at him, and Cirie did relay that information to Felicia.
9:09 p.m. – Before the votes in the first eviction were cast, America and Blue had a chance to plead their case to the houseguests. America used her time to throw Jag under the bus (again) with a series of jokes about his “evil wrath.” Blue countered by telling everyone what an honor it was to play with them. The remaining four cast their votes to evict privately in the Diary Room:
Big Brother 25 Results – Week 12 Votes:
- Matt votes to evict: Blue
- Bowie Jane votes to evict: Blue
- Cirie votes to evict: Blue
- Felicia votes to evict: Blue
By a vote of 4-0, Blue Kim has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
9:14 p.m. – After the unanimous 4-0 vote, Blue told Julie that moments before the live show began she was told that she was the target and that ultimately she considered it might be the case because she was the original target last week, too. Blue also said that if she had stayed in the house, Blue was going to start targeting Jag and that he would have been in danger for the double eviction.
We’ll jump to this quickly – One eviction down, one more to go. “But First,” we need a new Head of Household to set us up for the second half of the night’s DE.
Big Brother 25 Results – Week 12.5 HOH:
- Round 1: No one gets a point
- Round 2: Everyone but Felicia gets a point
- Round 3: Cirie gets a point
- Round 4: Cirie and Bowie get a point
- Round 5: Matt and Felicia get a point
- Round 6: Matt and Bowie Jane gets a point
- Round 7: Everyone but Cirie gets a point
- Tiebreaker: Bowie Jane is closer without going over
Bowie Jane is the new HOH! Jag should be safe on this one.
A new HOH means new nominations! Who will get sent to the Block? There aren’t many options left but there are still some big targets on the menu. Will this opportunity be taken or wasted? Time to find out with the next round of results.
Big Brother 25 Results – Week 12.5 Nominations:
- Bowie Jane nominates Felicia and America for eviction.
These BB25 nominees have one chance to secure an exit from the Block but they won’t be alone. The rest of the house is looking to either lock down their own noms or prevent themselves or an ally from being sent up as a renom. The pressure is on to win the Veto!
Use it or lose it, here comes the Veto meeting. Will the medallion holder choose to change up the noms or keep things just as they are?
Big Brother 25 Results – Week 12.5 Power of Veto:
9:38 p.m. – With six players in the house, everyone got to compete for the Power of Veto. For the comp, HGs had to search for four pieces of candy hidden in ball pits in order to fill a plastic tube first. Matt was the first to successfully drop a piece of his candy in his tube. Felicia got one in as well and then Matt got his second while other players kept missing the tube. Matt got his third and then Felicia got her second. Before anyone else could sink a candy, Matt got his fourth and won his second comp of the season.
- Veto winner is: Matt
Big Brother 25 Results – Week 12.5 Veto Ceremony:
9:42 p.m. – In the moments before Matt’s decision, America begged him to use the Veto on her because Bowie made a deal with Cirie, but when Matt talked to Bowie and Jag he told them that he’d be keeping noms the same.
- As promised to his allies, Matt decided to keep Bowie’s nominations the same, leaving Felicia and America in fire for the second eviction of the night.
With the final nominations of the Double Eviction set we’ll see who goes out the door next on Big Brother 25. We’re about to go from the Final 6 to the Final 5. Stay tuned for the voting results.
Big Brother 25 Results – Week 12.5 Votes:
9:51 p.m. – In her plea to stay, America got emotional and begged for them to keep her so that she could continue to play. Felicia said she is “trusting and believing” that they’ll keep her around. The three eligible voters went to the Diary Room to case their votes to evict:
- Cirie votes to evict: America
- Jag votes to evict: America
- That’s enough votes
- Matt votes to evict: America
By a vote of 3-0, America Lopez has been evicted from the Big Brother house.
9:54 p.m. – After another unanimous vote, America admitted to Julie that she had no chance of staying because she knew that Matt and Jag are a formidable pair that are likely looking at going to the final four with Cirie and Felicia. America said that “everyone is letting” Matt and Jag win because she’s “seen it over and over again” in past seasons and it makes her “so mad.” The upside is that she gets to go to the Jury House to be reunited with Cory.
That’s it! We’ve got our final five Houseguests at this point. Congratulations to them all on making it this far, but their work isn’t done just yet. It’s time for a new HOH and that’s going to be decided later in the house. After the show, The HGs will have a breather and then the Feeds will return when the battle for power is complete. Spoilers await and we’ll keep you posted!
Reminder that we’re closing in on the November 9th finale event. Has your favorite HG stayed in the race for the $750K prize?
