BB App Store For the first three weeks, viewers were asked a series of questions about their opinions on the remaining HouseGuests. The HouseGuest who was named in the most overall answers was deemed the `` top trending '' HouseGuest of the week and earned a `` Power App '', which would give them an advantage in the game, while the HouseGuest who was answered the least was deemed `` least trending '' was given a `` Crap App '', which gave them a punishment. Once HouseGuests received an app, they were no longer eligible to receive one in the future. Week Top trending Power App Least trending Crap App Punishment Name Ability Used ? Sam Bonus Life To be used immediately after a HouseGuest is evicted from the house, this power will give that HouseGuest a chance to return to the game via a competition. This power must be used in the first three evictions, or else the fourth evicted HouseGuest will automatically be given the chance to return. Used Faysal Hamazon The HouseGuest will routinely be given packages of ham, which they must consume on arrival.

He and the seven other safe HouseGuests were not able to compete in the Head of Household competition. ^ Note 2 : Each week in the BB App Store a power app and crap app were released into the game. The winner of the crap app is represented in italics. ^ Note 3 : Due to Sam not using her Bonus Life Power App, Kaitlyn automatically received a chance to re-enter the house. However, she was unable to complete the challenge and was ultimately evicted. ^ Note 4 : The H@cker earned the power to remove one of the HoH 's nominations ( represented by strikethrough font ) and secretly replace it with their own ( represented by bold font ). The H@cker was also able to nullify one vote at the live eviction. Controversies and criticisms JC Mounduix received criticism after he was shown using an ice cream scooper on the genitals of his other HouseGuests. Mounduix later told fellow HouseGuest Kaycee Clark to open up her vagina, saying it `` feels good ''. Viewers questioned Angela Rummans and Rachel Swindler after they were caught on the live feeds making racist remarks, referencing fellow HouseGuest, Bayleigh Dayton. Rummans called her tan `` ghetto '', while Swindler compared her skin tone to Dayton 's, who is African American. CBS later released a statement and warned Rummans and Swindler with future consequences. Since the start of the live feeds, Kaitlyn Herman has been criticized from viewers for her feelings and actions towards several men in the Big Brother House, while being in a 5 year relationship outside of the house. In Week 3, Herman 's then boyfriend released a statement on Twitter, stating that he wanted to distance himself from the show and situation. Kaitlyn Herman and JC Mounduix both came under fire after they used n - word in separate occasions. Herman used the word as she was singing the lyrics of a Drake song. Mounduix used the word after fellow HouseGuest Bayleigh Dayton, who is African American, asked Mounduix if there is a `` difference between a midget and a dwarf ''. Offended, Mounduix said that the word `` midget '' is a derogatory term and then compared it to the n - word. Many came to the defense of the two, saying that they did n't use the word towards someone. During a live eviction episode, HouseGuest Brett Robinson called out Angie `` Rockstar '' Lantry in his eviction speech for `` strategic purposes ''. Lantry responded by confronting Robinson in his face claiming that it was her daughter 's birthday. Lantry later called Robinson a `` rich, snobby, white - privileged - ass dude ''. Later that night, Lantry confronted Robinson with pots and pans during which she exclaimed that Robinson has a `` micropenis ''. Upon confrontation, Lantry sat between Robinson 's legs whom repeatedly asked her to get off of him. JC Mounduix was criticized by fans after he asked Rachel Swindler if she was transgender, stating that she has `` a big Adam 's apple. '' Mounduix proceeded to feel Swindler 's neck, but she told him to stop. Moments later, he began to touch Swindler 's neck again before being stopped by her. Viewers perceived some of Bayleigh Dayton 's comments about Faysal `` Fessy '' Shafaat as being anti-Muslim. After Shafaat, a Muslim, complained about his in - house crush Haleigh Broucher talking about her past sexual experiences, Dayton claimed in private that Shafaat should `` go find a virgin '' and that he should `` go to Pakistan and ( get himself ) one '' because `` that 's what they do. '' Many viewers interpreted `` they '' as meaning Muslims. During a conversation between Bayleigh Dayton and Angela `` Rockstar '' Lantry, Dayton claimed that Lantry was the only white person who she knew that did n't like white people. Dayton then said that Lantry dislikes `` normal white people '' more than she does. Days later, in a conversation with Haleigh Broucher, Dayton referred to her housemates as `` crazy - ass white people. '' Many viewers saw Dayton 's statements as racist.
