‘Big Brother’ 2021 Spoilers: Week 6 Eviction & New HOH Results

It is time to send the first jury member packing on “Big Brother 23,” and to crown a new Head of Household. The eviction this week is looking fairly solid, though a last-minute flip is certainly possible this week.

The next Head of Household is crucial for the non-Cookout alliance members in the house. If they don’t win, chances are they are going to get picked off one by one until only the six Cookout members remain. There is also the second week of the High Roller Room. This week’s power costs $125 and it will let someone remove a nominee but the replacement will be chosen by a random roulette wheel spin. Here is how to vote for who you want to receive the most BB bucks to spend in the High Roller room.

Follow along with our live blog below but be warned of spoilers.

All times Eastern.

8:05 — The show picks up where it left off, with Kyland and Alyssa able to veto one nominee apiece after the Power of Veto competition. In what comes as a huge shock to Britini, Kyland uses his Power of Veto to take Claire off the block and put up Britini in her place. The plan is to backdoor Britini because she could not keep quiet about how much money she won and that she was saving it for the roulette power.

8:10 — Britini is beside herself by being put on the block without a chance to win the veto. But she’s playing a terrible game. She has won some competitions, yes, but overall, she has no solid alliance, she’s all over the place and she’s unpredictable. That’s why they want her out.

8:15 — Now is the montage where Derek X and Claire pitch their buddies (Hannah and Tiffany, respectively) about keeping Britini. However, they went about this ALL wrong. Claire and Derek X. have actually sussed out that the Cookout exists. So they should have known better than to mention keeping Britini to Tiffany and Hannah. If they had been smart, they would have quietly (VERY quietly) gotten Alyssa and Sarah Beth on board to keep Britini but acted like they were voting to evict Britini. Then Azah throwing Britini a pity vote would have flipped the house. But they played this all wrong.

8:20 — Now we get a segment of how Derek X. is putting it together about the Cookout, which the Cookout means they have to (HAVE TO) win HOH this week. As Team Chaos, I’m rooting for Derek X. or Claire to win HOH this week because that keeps things interesting. I’m still Team Tiffany on who I think should win the game.

8:30 — Time to vote. Britini raps again, lordy. But at least she has stopped crying. She is evicted by a vote of 7-1.

8:45 — Head of Household competition time. The comp is a balance beam course; the fastest person to finish wins HOH — and they DON’T get to watch each other do their runs, which is great. Production obviously learned a little from that debacle of an HOH competition that kicked off all-stars last summer. Also, this seems well-suited for Derek X and Alyssa. Let’s see how they all do…

8:50 — Claire is first and finishes in just under 35 seconds (they only have 45 total seconds to complete the challenge). Alyssa is next and she finishes in 27 seconds but at the last second, she tries to run for the platform, slips and hits the ground, and is out! Oh no! Derek F. comes very, very close to beating Claire’s time, but he can’t quite pull it off.

8:55 — Sarah Beth comes in and clocks a 21-second run to take the lead (and Alyssa would have lost her lead then if she hadn’t touched the ground). Azah takes a different route than everyone else, but she falls and has to start over. Neither Hannah nor Tiffany beats SB’s 21 seconds. Derek X tries to go on a narrow beam but falls and has to start over. If he had started out on the route most of the houseguests have taken, he would have won. Then Xavier falls twice and Sarah Beth is the new HOH. Interesting.

9:00 — Before the show ends, they go over the High Roller Room again. It looks like the Veto Derby is not available this week, which is something I had wondered about — like could people who only have $50 play for that one again? I feel like that would have been a better way to do things because there are a lot of people who won’t have enough to play for anything from here on out. All powers should have been made available at all times, so on week three, all three powers are available.

“Big Brother” season 23 airs Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
