‘Big Brother’ season 27 hits on week one veto: Recap and how to watch

A brand new episode of the hit reality competition series Big Brother premieres on CBS Thursday, July 17 at 8/7c.

Cord cutters looking to keep up with the Big Brother weekly episode releases can stream the hit CBS series through Fubo, DirecTV or Paramount Plus—all three of which offer free trials for new subscribers to enjoy.

Previous episode recap

For those unfamiliar with the series and its unusual episode release schedule, new episodes of Big Brother release Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and so far this season, three episodes have released—and tensions are already building up between this year’s cast.

Episode three saw the announcement of the first Head of Household of the season, and the title was bestowed upon Vince, who quickly became a menace after slipping into his role.

Alliances also began to form last episode including a major four-player alliance consisting of Vince, Kelley, Amy and Ashley while another four-player alliance included Zae, Keanu, Rylie and Zach.

During the nomination ceremony, Vince offered up Ashley, Amy and Zae on the chopping block and received severe backlash from both Ashley and Amy. Despite Vince’s hushed promises to keep Ashley safe, it was Zae who emerged victorious during the Power of Veto competition.

During the competition the three participating houseguests had to navigate a tricky obstacle course while collecting puzzle pieces—pulling in both physical fitness and mental prep.

Following the intense competition, Zae used the Veto on himself, leaving Amy or Ashley the targets. In addition to Amy and Ashley remaining on the chopping block, Tucker joins them following Vince’s nomination of Tucker to serve as Zae’s replacement.

On today’s brand new episode, the first eviction in season 27 will be made.
