Who was evicted from Big Brother this week?
WARNING: Spoiler alert!
LaTrice Verrett was evicted from Big Brother Season 28 in the live eviction episode aired on Sept. 3.
Here’s how we got there: Head of Household Drew Campbell placed LaTrice (also known as LaLa), Taylor Brown, and Yash Patel on the Block. Comp beast Yash won the Power of Veto, and took herself off the Block. Drew then named Rick Devens as the replacement nominee. (Devens volunteered for the role, actually. It’s a long story.)
On live eviction night, Devens won the BB Block Buster competition, saving himself, and leaving LaLa and Taylor on the Block. LaLa was evicted on a 4-2 vote, and became the first member of the Season 28 jury. Watch the vote results here:
LaLa is the ninth Houseguest evicted this summer, after Haley Thogmartin who departed earlier in the surprise medeival-twist competitions.

Big Brother
Watch NowWhat is the Big Brother: Time Trip theme?
Inspired by decades like the ’80s and ’90s, and cultural touchstones like Y2K, the Big Brother: Time Trip theme of Season 28 presents a world where rooms, relics, and challenges transport Houseguests across moments in time – past, present, and future. Early twists shake up the game from the very start, and new powers and challenges can disrupt strategy and alliances at any point in the competition.
What does the Big Brother: Time Trip House look like?
The Big Brother: Time Trip house is a place where decor from multiple eras reminds Houseguests that any object from any decade could end up shaping the game. Here are some features of the house:
- Time-Bending Entryway: Upon arrival at their new home, Houseguests are greeted by a striking faux neon sign. They also see a dizzying array of clocks, which immediately sends a message: In this place, time is fractured, unpredictable, and constantly in motion.
- Living Room of Eras: 17-foot gothic windows glow against stone walls, blending classic and industrial design alongside relics from across history, from a triceratops skull to royal crown jewels. Which (if any) of these items will end up shaping the game? The Houseguests will have to find out.
- Nostalgic Trophies: A 1940s jukebox and a 1980s transparent phone highlight the blending of decades, as the past, present, and future collide inside the Big Brother house.
- Relic Lab Hallway: The iconic time laser returns alongside quirky failed inventions, including a pogo stick, a keytar, and more – all displayed as relics of past experiments.
- Clockwork Bathroom: Gears and intricate mechanical details surround Houseguests, while sub-atomic-inspired lighting fixtures create a stunning otherworldly atmosphere.
- The Artifact Bedroom: With room to house five Houseguests, this artifact-filled room features two mysterious doorways – one to the past, one to the future.
- Futuristic Sleep Pods Room: A sleek retreat with pod beds, organic ladders, and nebula visuals offers a calm, futuristic escape from the chaos of the game.
- Upstairs Time Command Center: Vintage tech lines the shelves and massive arched windows overlooking the living room make this spot a prime vantage point for eavesdropping, while the custom-built sofa is perfectly suited for both strategizing and showmancing.
- Time-Lapse Gym: Walls wrapped in time-lapse photography create the illusion of motion and progression, energizing Houseguests as they work out and reset.
- Clock Tower Feature: Tying the entire house together, a dramatic clock tower crowns the space, a symbolic reminder that in this game, time is always ticking … but it’s never predictable.
