First Eviction of Season 28
During the Thursday, July 16 episode of CBS’s reality series “Big Brother 28,” Ashley Trail, 24, became the first Houseguest eliminated. She was voted out by a unanimous 14-to-0 margin after Head of Household (HOH) Dee Valladares, 29, nominated her following a series of competition outcomes earlier in the week.
Competition Mechanics and Nominations
Earlier in the episode cycle, HOH Dee Valladares—also a former “Survivor” champion—named Mallory Aurichio, 24; Taylor Brown, 27; and Yash Patel, 24, for eviction. Mallory secured the Power of Veto, removed herself from the block, and forced Valladares to select a replacement nominee. With three Houseguests—Jason De Puy, Chuk Anyanwu, and Rome Seymour—already safe, Valladares chose Ashley Trail as the replacement nominee.
Voting Outcome and Safety Competitions
All three nominees entered the live “BB Blockbuster” competition, a recurring twist now in its third year (previously called “BB AI Arena” in season 26). Yash Patel won the Blockbuster, granting him safety and leaving Taylor Brown and Ashley Trail on the eviction block. The subsequent vote resulted in a unanimous decision to evict Ashley Trail.
Upcoming Episodes and Broadcast Details
The next HOH competition and nomination ceremony are scheduled for the Sunday, July 19 episode, airing at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. Live feeds for “Big Brother” will be available on YouTube for a limited period after each episode, while full episodes remain accessible on Paramount+ the day after broadcast.
