Big Brother 2022 LIVE — Housemate gets evicted in shocking 9-1 vote as Alyssa’s showmance grows with fellow star
NICOLE was backdoored last night, leading up to her shocking eviction.
Daniel's decision to put Taylor and Nicole on the chopping block inevitably backfired as he accidentally sent his best friend home.
The Leftovers alliance came out on top by successfully tricking Daniel into believing Nicole had the votes to stay.
Nicole could not convince the houseguests to side with her and almost all the contestants including Kyle and Monte voted to evict her.
Meanwhile, Kyle and Alyssa were seen flirting in the bathroom, striking up talk of a showmance brewing.
Big Brother airs every Sunday and Wednesday at 8pm ET, while the live eviction episodes air on Thursdays at 9pm ET.

Live feeds reveal new strategies
Big Brother Daily reports a strategy emerging to evict Daniel next week.

Breaking down the alliances
Now that four houseguests have been evicted, alliances are forced to change and some are even threatened based on new strategies.
The Leftovers have proven to be the strongest alliance, resulting in Ameerah and Nicole's evictions.
This is a seven-person alliance consisting of Joe, Kyle, Turner, Monte, Taylor, Michael, and Brittney.
The F3 alliance includes Taylor, Michael, and Brittney.
Girl's Girls has dwindled but still includes Indy, Brittney, Alyssa, and Jasmine.
The Old Skool alliance has seemingly fallen apart as two members have been voted off but it consisted of Nicole, Ameerah, Alyssa, Terrance, Daniel, and Jasmine.
Lastly, Po's Pack included Kyle, Nicole, Ameerah, Alyssa, Michael, and Monte.
Contestants moving on to week 5

There are still 12 contestants in the house including
- Joseph
- Turner
- Kyle
- Monte
- Taylor
- Michael
- Brittney
- Indy
- Alyssa
- Daniel
- Terrance
- Jasmine
Fit for competition
According to , contestants are required to submit their complete medical history to production.
The eligibility requirements also state contestants must “be in excellent mental and physical health.”
Most nominations in a single season
John McGuire holds the record for the most nominations in a single season.
He was nominated for eviction a total of nine times, as he was used as a pawn so many times.
From PB&J to ‘slop’
Sometimes being placed on a diet consisting solely of slop is the penalty for failing a challenge on Big Brother. It was a PB&J diet only until season seven, reported.
The slop is characterized as “one part ‘slop mix’ and one part water,” and it has an oatmeal-like consistency.
Amanda Hansen, a hypoglycemic participant from season nine, was sent to the hospital after having a seizure as a result of not getting enough sugar from the slop she had just eaten, although she later came back to the house.
Similar to Hansen, Allison Nichols, another housemate from season nine, too experienced an adverse response to the enigmatic concoction, was hospitalized, and left.
Big Brother is always watching
In the Big Brother house, there are over 80 HD cameras and 100 microphones, which record contestants’ every move during all hours of the day.

What are the Have-Nots?
A few unfortunate house guests are forced to live in poverty for one week every week as punishment.
They are only allowed to eat slop, which is bland food similar to oatmeal, and are forced to take cold showers, and sleep in uncomfortable beds made for punishment.
Who are The Leftovers?
Monte, Turner, Joseph, Taylor, Brittany, Kyle, and Michael formed an alliance called “The Leftovers.”
The group was inspired by the fact each member felt left out of other alliances.
Their strategy is to target the girls’ alliance and have so far succeeded in evicting Ameerah and Nicole.

Who has already been HOH this season?
HOH is a very important spot on Big Brother because it allows the houseguest to nominate others for eviction and use the Power of Veto to save other contestants.

- Monte
- Turner
- Jasmine

Fans took to Twitter to slam his mistake by calling him "one of the "dumbest players in Big Brother history."
One fan even stated "If Daniel has ONE hater, it's ME. If Daniel has ZERO haters, it means I have left this world."
Fans react to Taylor's speech after the show
Taylor's speech to convince the houseguests to vote for her was nothing short of memorable.
