Rick Devens' Week 2 HoH reign: is nearing its close, and his plan to put Rome Seymour on the block after the Veto is on track, leaving Jason, Rome, and Melody Morris as the nominees.\n- **Jason and Rome are the primary targets** over Melody. If either faces Melody in the final vote, they are almost certainly going home.\n- **The only scenario where both survive** involves Melody and Jason sitting on the block after the BB Blockbuster, with Angela Murray being convinced to vote out Melody instead — a tall order given the recent blow-up between Angela and Jason.\n- **Ashley Trail admitted** she caused her own Week 1 eviction by exposing Dee Valladares' alliance plans to Melody Morris' side, believing the alliances were already "implied." Her blunder unified the house against her.\n- **Why this matters:** Losing either Jason or Rome this week could lead to a "steamroll" where the dominant Tool Shed alliance coasts through the game, eliminating the opposition one by one without resistance.
Rick Devens has maintained control of the house during his Week 2 HoH tenure. After the Veto results allowed him to place Rome Seymour on the block alongside Jason De Puy and Melody Morris, the target list became clear: Jason and Rome are the primary targets.
The concern among fans — echoed by Yahoo Entertainment's Mick Joest — is that this eviction could trigger a "steamroll." The Tool Shed alliance, currently holding the numbers, would have little standing in their way if one of their strongest opposition players goes home. The last time a dominant alliance ran unchecked in the Big Brother house, the season became predictable and lopsided.
Ashley Trail, who became the first houseguest evicted in Week 1, told Page Six that she understands better than anyone how one wrong move can collapse a game. Trail's mistake was walking over to Melody Morris' side and revealing that Dee Valladares' alliance planned to vote to keep her. She thought the alliances were "implied," but her transparency backfired.
> "I didn't have enough votes to stay if just the people backing me were going to keep me. So I needed Melody, Lyric or Mallory to vote me. So I tried to confide in their trust."
That conversation unified the house against her. Valladares' group backed out of their plan and joined the opposing alliance to vote Trail out unanimously.
The math is grim for the opposition. Melody holds the BB Blockbuster power, meaning she can save herself. If she does, the nominees become Jason and Rome — and Rome is likely the one going home.
Devens and Dee Valladares have been open to cutting a deal with the trio of Lyric, Rome, and Jason, but Angela Murray stands in the way. After Jason's nomination ceremony blow-up with Angela, convincing her to save him will be nearly impossible. Jason did himself no favors by discussing targeting "legends" in Week 1.
As legendary player Mike Boogie once said, "You can bounce checks" in Big Brother — and the trio may need to rely on broken promises and last-minute deal-making to survive.
Steamroll seasons have historically been among the least popular in Big Brother history (think BB16 or BB22). When one alliance controls the vote week after week, the game loses its unpredictability. The Week 2 vote could determine whether Season 28 goes down as a competitive season or another predictable run.
Who is at risk of eviction in Week 2 of Big Brother 28?\n A: Jason De Puy, Rome Seymour, and Melody Morris are on the block. Jason and Rome are the primary targets, with Rome likely going home if Melody saves herself.\n\n- Q: Why was Ashley Trail evicted first in Week 1?\n A: Trail told Melody Morris' side of the house about Dee Valladares' alliance's voting plans, thinking the alliances were already obvious. This caused Valladares' group to abandon their plan and vote her out unanimously.\n\n- Q: What is the BB Blockbuster?\n A: The BB Blockbuster is a power that allows a houseguest to save themselves from the nomination block. Melody Morris holds this power in Week 2.\n\n- Q: Can Jason and Rome both survive Week 2?\n A: Only if Melody and Jason are the final nominees after the BB Blockbuster, and Angela Murray can be convinced to vote out Melody over Jason — a very unlikely scenario given their recent conflict.\n\n- Q: When does Big Brother 28 air?**\n A: Big Brother 28 airs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, and streams the next day on Paramount+.
For Big Brother fans:: Expect a potential power shift if one of the opposition leaders survives. If Jason or Rome goes home, prepare for a prolonged steamroll that could make the next several weeks predictable.\n- **For aspiring reality TV players:** Ashley Trail's early exit is a masterclass in what NOT to do — never assume alliances are obvious, and never share voting plans across sides without airtight trust.\n- **Key lesson from Week 1 & 2:** Information is power, but it can also be a death sentence if shared with the wrong people. The players who navigate the middle without exposing their hand tend to survive the longest.\n- **Who this affects most:** Viewers who enjoy competitive, unpredictable seasons should root for the underdogs this week. A vote to keep one of the opposition leaders keeps the game interesting.
Do you think Jason or Rome can pull off a miracle and survive Week 2? Or is the steamroll already inevitable? Share this with other Big Brother fans who need to catch up on the drama!
