Rick Devens Takes Big Brother 28 Week 11 HOH Control

Spoilers say Rick Devens won the Week 11 HOH and nominated Drew Campbell and Melody Morris as the Pharaoh's Curse twist pushes Big Brother 28 toward the Final Four.

Rick Devens came out on top of the Week 11 Head of Household competition immediately after the Week 10 double eviction, and The Sunday Guardian reports the win secured his place in the Final Four and control of one of the season's most important weeks. The double eviction had already sent Barrett Pfeiffer and Yash Patel to the jury house, leaving five houseguests competing for the $750,000 prize: Dee Valladares, Drew Campbell, Rick Devens, Melody Morris and Taylor Brown. Both pack outlets agree on the remaining five and the Oct. 1 finale date. For Devens, who The Sunday Guardian notes had survived multiple difficult situations this season, the HOH gave him the chance to decide which two houseguests would face the next eviction threat.

The Sunday Guardian reports that Devens nominated Drew Campbell and Melody Morris, two closely connected players, for eviction. His reasoning, according to the outlet: leaving Drew off the Block could have allowed him to win the Power of Veto and use it to save Melody, which would have forced Dee Valladares onto the Block as the replacement nominee. Melody had been the star of the double eviction, winning both the final BB Blockbuster competition and the following HOH, but that power evaporated when Devens took the Week 11 crown. Drew's nomination was just as striking because he had only just voted to evict Yash Patel before finding himself on the Block himself.

According to The Sunday Guardian, Drew Campbell won the Week 11 Power of Veto, guaranteeing his own safety for the round since he cannot be evicted this week. That result reshapes the nominations entirely: if Drew uses the Veto on himself, Devens must name a replacement nominee, and with only five players left the only options are Dee Valladares and Taylor Brown. The outlet says the major question now is who Devens will put up in Drew's place and whether Melody Morris can survive another dangerous week. The remaining schedule, per Lohud, runs Sunday Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. ET, Wednesday Sept. 23 at 10 p.m., Thursday Sept. 24 at 8 p.m., Sunday Sept. 27 at 9:30 p.m., and the 90-minute finale Thursday, Oct. 1 at 8 p.m. on CBS and Paramount+.

The Sunday Guardian reports that the Pharaoh's Curse twist is speeding up the game and creating a path to the Final Four much faster than a normal Big Brother week. The twist was triggered, according to the outlet, after Devens secretly took a $10,000 reward, and its consequences changed the usual Week 11 format so the house is moving toward an accelerated eviction that will determine the Final Four. That leaves very little room for the remaining houseguests to relax, with competitions and nominations now directly shaping who reaches the final two. Lohud notes only two episodes remain next week — Sunday, Sept. 27 and the Oct. 1 finale — making this the final full week of Big Brother Season 28 episodes.
