Big Brother 28 Spoilers: Rick Devens Named Week 2 HOH as Time Capsule Twist Unveiled

Gold Derby confirmed that Rick Devens secured the Week 2 Head of Household (HOH) title in Big Brother 28, setting the stage for new alliances and potential evictions.

Rick Devens Claims HOH Victory in Wild West-Themed Competition

Following Ashley Trail’s unanimous eviction in the season’s first live episode, Devens emerged as the Week 2 HOH after a competition that required contestants to embrace a Western aesthetic. The challenge, which aired on Thursday, saw Devens wear the HOH key by 9:45 p.m. PT, according to Gold Derby. Despite his victory, Devens reportedly declined to celebrate at the saloon, stating he was “tired and just wanted to go to bed.”

Devens’ position as HOH grants him the power to nominate three houseguests for eviction, a decision he will make after consulting with his alliances. The nominations ceremony, typically held on Fridays, will air on Sunday night on CBS.

Devens’ Strategic Position in Two Powerful Alliances

Devens is a key member of the Red Corner alliance, which includes Dee Valladares, Chuk Anyanwu, Kamu Kirk, and Haley Thogmartin. He also maintains ties with the Crossovers alliance, comprising Valladares, Angela Murray, Drew Campbell, and Barrett Pfeiffer. This dual allegiance provides Devens with extensive leverage to shape the game’s direction.

His strategic standing contrasts with Ashley Trail’s exit, which followed a 14-to-0 eviction vote against Taylor Brown. Trail, in an interview with host Julie Chen Moonves, expressed confusion over her removal, stating she felt “non-committal” from allies despite trusting some were “working on her behalf.”
