Big Brother 28 has a special two-hour CBS lineup on Sunday, August 23, as Week 7 brings a new Head of Household, three nominees and a Power of Veto winner. Big Brother: Unlocked starts at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT, followed by the regular Season 28 episode at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT.
What Time Is Big Brother On Tonight?
CBS begins its Big Brother programming at 8 p.m. ET with Big Brother: Unlocked. The regular Sunday episode follows one hour later at 9 p.m. ET.
The temporary shift matters because viewers expecting the normal Sunday episode at 8 p.m. ET will first see the companion show. Current scheduling and episode information can be checked through the official CBS Big Brother page.
Where to Watch Big Brother Tonight
The broadcast airs on CBS. Streaming access is available through eligible Paramount+ plans, while on-demand availability depends on the subscriber’s plan and location.
Those who joined the competition later can revisit the Big Brother 28 cast and Time Trip season setup for background on the houseguests and this year’s format.
Dee Wins HOH and Names Three Nominees
Dee Valladares won the Week 7 Head of Household competition, giving her a second HOH victory this season. She initially nominated Drew Campbell, LaTrice “Lala” Verrett and Taylor Brown for eviction.
The win marks a quick reversal for Dee. During Week 6, Rick Devens used his Diamond Power of Veto to remove her from danger. Kamu Kirk became the replacement nominee and was later evicted by an 8-1 vote.
Lala Wins the Week 7 Power of Veto
Lala won the Week 7 Power of Veto after entering the competition as one of Dee’s nominees. Because she is already on the block, the Veto gives her the option to remove herself.
If Lala uses it, Dee will need to select a replacement nominee. Any potential replacement should remain unconfirmed until the Veto ceremony because live-feed strategy and conversations can change before the official decision.
Yash’s $5K BB Bribe and Drew’s Time Capsule Power
Yash Patel accepted Dee’s $5,000 BB Bribe under an arrangement tied to future safety. The reported deal calls for Yash not to nominate Dee or Rick Devens if he wins Head of Household later in the season.
The agreement could matter more as the number of houseguests falls because it limits part of Yash’s nomination flexibility while potentially giving Dee and Devens another layer of protection.
Drew, meanwhile, received the Never-Not Pass through the final Time Capsule twist. The advantage prevents him from becoming a Have-Not for the remainder of his stay, but it does not protect him from nomination or eviction.
Season 28 had already experienced an early lineup change when Levi Banks withdrew before entering the Big Brother house.
Big Brother Nears Its 1,000th Episode
Week 7 leads into a major franchise milestone, with Big Brother’s 1,000th original episode scheduled for Thursday, August 27.
The immediate focus remains the Week 7 Veto ceremony and how it affects the eviction lineup. Dee controls the HOH, while Lala’s Veto gives her the opportunity to change the original three-person block before Thursday’s milestone episode.
