The History of Canceled Evictions on Big Brother

In Big Brother, every week culminates with a live vote and eviction. Well, not always. Throughout Big Brother history there have been 6 times where an eviction has just been straight up canceled. Whether it be from a power, a twist, or an unexpected removal of a houseguest, there are many different ways for an eviction to be canceled, and we're gonna talk about it. This is the complete history of canceled evictions on Big Brother.

Lol I am an idiot and I did not realize that "infamous" meant bad. I literally just thought it was another way to say "famous", or something along the lines of legendary, awesome, etc. So when I said that BB24's week 1 was the most infamous canceled eviction, I did not mean to portray that as a bad thing. I meant to say that it was an awesome canceled eviction because it led to the greatest cinderella story in BB history. My mistake!

[@ryanwatson1689]

I think you used the word infamous appropriately? Not necessarily "bad" but more like... notorious? Eyebrow-raising? It's not necessarily a good/bad judgment either way💁‍♀

[@coherentramblings7326]

I think it’s one of those things where enough people misused the word that it’s become a valid definition. Similar to “literally” now being synonymous with “figuratively”

I'd be interested in a video on the history of alcohol on Big Brother.

Canadian fans of Big Brother can back this fact up; Canada get's a little more liquor. I think it's funny how the cast members think a 6 pack and a bottle of wine is not enough liquor and how gracious they are when somebody gives up their share for the others. Noteworthy moments; Big Brother 24 when Alyssa drank the wine and began twerking and dancing and Indy was like "hey where'd the wine go?" lmao. We had Winegate but Muffingate was more epic. Anyway, BB Canada had Gary, Talla and Danielle sneak away from the house and drink the hard liquor bottle to themselves which angered the others lmao. The following season had Arlie and Allison have a secret liquor party they had to lie about so the house could win a prize; they were so sloshed and had to maintain, which they did. It was hilarious and likely something they wouldn't do again.

A problem I have is why didn't this happen with Cody's HOH in BB19? One of his nominees left, so by that logic, his eviction should have been cancelled. Look at BB24. Paloma was technically a nominee due to the Backstage twist. And once she walked, the eviction was cancelled. It didn't happen with Frank when Willie got expelled because he was expelled before nominations were made. So since Megan walked, his HOH should have been cancelled as opposed to him having to nominate 1/3 of the house.

[@ZantZora]

My best guess is that because it was week one, and the Den of Temptation was weekly and required time for the viewers to vote, and because of the Golden Apple keeping Josh safe for the week, it would have probably been easier for production to simply have Cody name a new nominee than to redo the week.

[@eliasmg9144]

Easiest explanation is: producer make up things as they go

[@letsgoblues21]

The Halting Hex was huge for the history of Big Brother. It sounded like Jess would have voted for Paul to win.

[@GrapeApe8]

Well we know how Jag ended up doing! Lmao

[@JNDReacts]

12:47 This is where I have to disagree. If Paloma hadn’t quit, either she or Alyssa would’ve had to face Taylor in the Bye Bye Backstage comp, since Brittany was saved by America’s vote. We saw Taylor beat Alyssa when that comp became part 1 of the next HoH comp, and I think there’s a strong probability that she beats Paloma as well. If anything, the most impact this cancellation had was that it narrowed down who could become HoH the following week, since only half the eligible players ended up doing the pie eating comp.

[@Maw0]

But that still isn't a guaranteed.

[@zaniahsims]

agreed. taylor would have def beat either of the two girls. she was stronger physically and mentally.

[@ryanward5770]

Imagine if in bb19 the first week was cancelled the same way it was with chima when Megan left. Cody wouldn't have revealed that he hated Paul and Cody and Jessica wouldn't be target no 1 at the very beginning.

[@bencalebrod]

And Josh, the Public Enemy # 1 during Week 1 until the veto ceremony, would've likely been out Week 1 instead of the winner of the season presuming the golden apple immunity was no longer valid.

[@spyroaster5457]

Fun fact: that week in BB11 was going to feature a Double Eviction at the end of the week, so we would have gone from F8 to F6 by that point anyway. However, with everything that happened, it felt more like the original Double Eviction where the next houseguest would be evicted 2 days after the HOH, then another would be evicted by the next Thursday, or about 5 days later. This is why BB11 didn't have a Double Eviction like we're used to seeing.

[@marklisowski6549]

I’m a little surprised BBCAN8 wasn’t mentioned since they had one of the most unusual eviction cancellations prior to the whole season get cancelled the following week

2 people quit and 1 expelled out of the 4 people who left. Covid was secretly a blessing for that season.

[@youngtax7604]

The fact back to back winners were saved due to cancelled evictions

[@w2ed]

1. When the reset button is used without it being known that it’s a reset button, it can be more interesting than when they know. 2. Of the seasons I have watched where the eviction was cancelled, those weeks weren’t cancelled - while the game could be considered wasted, the social interactions through those weeks had an important impact on the weeks that followed - Taylor is probably the biggest, easiest example as a lot of the buildup of the hatred towards her in the house that made her an early target started that week. Cameron’s week as HOH was another example, given how he immediately became target number 1 after, and even though Jag is back on the block, Cameron might lose his last ally tonight - making the target on Cameron’s back larger.

[@areshorror]

Yeah, but you would probably be mad if you won a 14-hour long grueling competition and get it thrown away by some BS power. I don't know why the producers chose to do it on the week of the pressure cooker challenge, a competition that people wanted back for years just for it to be essentially thrown away. I have a strong suspicion that the producers threw in the power to get back on schedule because of Luke's expulsion.

I guessed that one of the "open-minded" cancelled evictions might have been in Season 9 when the pairing of Allison and Ryan were voted out over Sheila and Adam, but on their way toward the door Julie said NOT SO FAST, and instead initiated a second vote between just Allison and Ryan, with Ryan saved and Allison being the only one evicted.

Matt and Jag had been pretty close since week 1. Riley was definitely who each of them was more closely aligned with; but after she left they were still pretty close. It also turned out to not really be a surprise for Jag after the vote; he knew about it before because Jared blabbed and blew up his (Jared's) game in doing so...

[@teamsteed1]

Thank you for posting the video.

[@marklisowski6549]

For the next round of comps following China’s expulsion, the golf prize-punishment HOH was the planned veto comp for the first double eviction. In addition to being a typical veto comp, the practice version of the upcoming veto involved min-golf. Also, during the live veto comp next round, Julie actually flubbed by calling it the HOH comp. While the “veto” comp during Chima was the one officially cancelled, the actual removed comp was the planned double eviction. Based on patterns, my best guess on what comp would have been is likely the ball pit comp. In addition to being used for the double eviction last season, it was a staple and typical (season 15 used it as the HOH) double eviction veto comp through season 19). (Note: out of cosmic humor, I’ll say Jeff would have gone to win that comp (only to lose it they way he did 2 seasons later))

[@nathanboyer7739]

Season 9 had the worst cancelled eviciton, in my opinion, because the other ones weren't planned. It also sucks because my favorite Allison got eliminated. The cancelled eviction gave her false hope; you can see it in her face as it slowly fades and then she gets the news she had to sit through another vote against her partner Ryan. Still, it was fun! I loved this seasons cancelled eviction because of the gameplay that transpired the week after wasn't just a repeat because Jag is still in it. The players seem to have a new lease on their reality game show life and Cameron has taken back the power, so this cancelled eviction has had the most profound aftermath.
