10:00 p.m. – The episode begins with a recap of the previous episode, where the house was abuzz with reactions to Quinn’s exit to jury status. The introduction of their temporary A.I. companion, Jankie, meant a week filled with carnival-themed games and treats, albeit with the catch of being confined to the backyard. Leah, having secured her position as HOH by winning the “Getting Toasted” endurance challenge, chose to put Kimo and Rubina on the block to dismantle their perceived trio with T’Kor. This leads to anticipation for the Veto competition.

10:10 p.m. — As celebrations continue outdoors, Angela shares her self-identified status as a “certified chubby-chaser,” lightening the atmosphere. Yet, underlying sentiments surface when Angela admits feeling guilty after voting Kimo out consecutively. It seems she is maneuvering to advocate for Kimo’s removal from the block to target T’Kor instead.

10:40 p.m. — Kimo reflects on the trio’s failure in the Veto competition, while T’Kor voices her disappointment over Angela’s victory. Tensions rise as Angela tries to thaw her relationship with Kimo, walking a fine line between reassurances and strategic gameplay.
10:50 p.m. — The repetitive cycle of Jankie World continues as evictions loom. Kimo engages Leah in discussions about alliances and rivalries while highlighting the emerging threat of another trio in the house. A hint of strategy emerges as Leah contemplates which members to target next.

She hopes Angela will use her Veto to help Kimo, but despite her efforts in hitting bottles, the Jankie Veto fails. Angela decides to use her Power of Veto to save Kimo, leading to a new placement of T’Kor on the block. As houseguests speculate about Rubina’s fate, Angela quietly maneuvers for T’Kor’s exit, exemplifying the unpredictable nature of “Big Brother.”
