WARNING! THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR BIG BROTHER 25!
The Big Brother 25 Power of Veto ceremony has occurred, and winner and current Head of Household (HOH) Cameron Hardin didn’t use it, leaving his original nominees, Felicia Cannon and Mecole Hayes on the chopping block. Cameron came roaring back into the Big Brother house after being evicted unanimously, winning the Do or Die competition, and resurrecting his game. He did this after besting Jared Fields in the Resurrection Rumble. He won HOH the same night he returned to the game, and then the Power of Veto two days later. This is Cameron’s third HOH win of the season.
The Big Brother 25 live feeds have revealed that Cameron chose not to use the Power of Veto in order to save either Felicia or Mecole. Cameron had been considering backdooring Cory Wurtenberger, but said that he wouldn’t do it if his Fugitive alliance members, Matt Klotz and Jag Bains weren’t on board. While Matt was in favor of the idea, Jag had reservations, and didn’t think they should evict Cory yet. Therefore, Cameron decided to follow through with his original plan to evict Felicia this week. Cameron told Bowie Jane that it would cause too much chaos in the house if he nominated Cory at the ceremony.
Felicia Cannon Will Most Likely Leave The Big Brother 25 House
Despite trying to convince Cameron that she’s not a threat to him, and that she’d vote for him if she made it to the jury, Felicia was unsuccessful at making her pitch to him. Cameron told her that she might not be his biggest threat, but she is the biggest persuader in the house. He doesn’t want her to go to the jury, and this is the last week before the Jury of 7 begins. Matt and Jag have an agreement with Cory and America Lopez, so it’s no wonder that Jag wanted to keep Cory safe. Between Felicia and Mecole, the houseguests will almost certainly evict Felicia.
Cameron’s second HOH was very shocking as he floored the houseguests by nominating Felicia and Izzy Gleicher instead of the expected Jag and Blue. However, this time, Cameron didn’t have a reign of chaos, but instead had a much more straightforward approach. This is good gameplay for him, especially since he was unanimously evicted from the house last week. He’s smart to play a bit more conservatively right now to ensure his safety when he’s ineligible to play for the HOH next week as the outgoing one.
If Felicia exits the game, she’ll join Kirsten Elwin, Reilly Smedley, Hisam Goueli, Red Utley, Izzy, and Jared as the houseguests who didn’t make it to the jury. They’re one of the strongest groups of pre-jury competitors in Big Brother history, and it’s surprising that so many of them didn’t make it to the jury. Felicia has had a great run on the show, and she’s a fierce competitor. Perhaps she can turn things around before Thursday’s live eviction and keep herself in the Big Brother 25 house longer.
Big Brother 25 airs Sundays at 10 p.m. EDT, Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EDT, and Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS.
