Big Brother 28: Jason's eviction fuels clash

Overview

Season 28 of the U.S. reality series continued its cultural flashpoint after the July 28 Head of Household win by former UFC fighter Kamu Kirk, who nominated drag performer Jason de Puy. The nomination sparked a heated “tea‑party” showdown, reviving scrutiny of Kamu’s past homophobic and trans‑phobic posts and a video referencing the Capitol attack, while alliances rallied around Jason.

The July 30 episode (episode 12) saw Lyric Medeiros win the Power of Veto and remove herself from the block, prompting Kamu to name a new nominee and keeping Jason as the primary eviction target. Live‑feed spoilers revealed growing distrust, with the Red Corner alliance questioning Drew Campbell’s loyalty and Angela warning Kamu about alleged comments, intensifying rivalry among the Red Corner, the Toolshed, and other factions.

On July 31, Jason de Puy was evicted by a unanimous 12‑0 vote. In his exit interview he blamed the loss on anti‑drag remarks made by Kamu on the live feeds, framing the outcome as a power struggle over LGBTQ+ representation. Fans and commentators debated the treatment of drag contestants on mainstream reality TV, while the house’s strategic battles continued to unfold.
