Here's Who Was Sent Packing Each Week in the 'Big Brother' Eviction (SPOILERS)

Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for Season 26 of Big Brother.

There are a few things in life that are certain — death, taxes, and a Big Brother live eviction. Often, the person who ends up getting evicted comes as a surprise to fans. Other times, houseguest evictions are very predictable and viewers are left breathing a collective sigh of relief.

Like other reality competition shows, Big Brother gets rid of players each week with a vote from the contestants themselves. Only, with this series, it's all done in the weekly live episode on Thursdays. And after multiple commercial breaks and Diary Room commentary about the votes, it's revealed who is booted off.

So, who went home this week in Season 26? Read on to find out!

The first eviction is always the hardest on Big Brother. The person sent packing barely has time to get their feet wet and they don't even get to go to the jury house. But the first eviction of Big Brother 26 sees Matt in a tough spot. After HOH Angela's wild blowout at him and the other houseguests, he's left scrambling to get enough votes to remain in the game. In the end, he only has three allies who don't vote for his eviction.

In a major change from past seasons, where two players were on the block for weeks where there wasn't a double or triple eviction, three players are in danger this time around. The three players remain on the block until eviction night, when they participate in a brand new comp in the AI Arena. The winner of that comp immediately gets taken off the block and the remaining two players are voted on.

Double evictions are always wild from the start on Big Brother. Naturally, fans want to know ahead of any given season if there are plans to shock the players with one (or more) double evictions. But what would be the fun in knowing ahead of time if host Julie Chen Moonves and producers decide to eliminate two houseguests in one night?

When a double eviction happens on Big Brother, two players are sent home in one night as fast-paced Head of Household and Veto competitions are played after the regularly scheduled eviction takes place. Then, another player is evicted. It's intense in the best way and it's something fans look forward to each season, even if it means more houseguests are taken out of the game.

Watch Big Brother on Sundays at 9 p.m. EST and Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS and Paramount Plus.
