Julie Chen returned as the host of the series. Broadcasts The main television coverage of the season was screened on CBS beginning June 28, 2017 with a two - hour season premiere. This season featured no changes to the schedule that was used in the previous edition, with episodes airing on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday each week.

The live Internet feeds which have been a staple of the program since its first season will return as part of CBS All Access. Alongside the weekly shows on CBS spin - off series Big Brother : After Dark will return on Pop for its twelfth season. The show serves as a live feed into the House, and is edited for profanity, nudity, slanderous statements and music copyrights. A special episode was aired on July 21 to show the `` Battle Back Showdown '' where one of the 4 first evicted HouseGuests competed to re-enter the Big Brother House. Prizes The HouseGuests will be competing for the main prize of $500,000. Cash prizes of varying amounts may be offered as `` temptations '' over the course of the season. Kevin Schlehuber was awarded $25,000 on the premiere episode. The second cash temptation of the season was also claimed by Kevin ; this time, it was a smaller sum of $27. Twists Changes to the main format known as twists occur during the course of the season that will impact the lives of the HouseGuests during their time in the House. The twists for this season center around the theme of temptation where the HouseGuests will be tempted with money, power or safety during their stay. Each temptation however will come with a consequence that will impact the entire House. The overall main twist is being billed by the program as `` The Summer of Temptation '' for this reason. Standard temptations During the season premiere the HouseGuests were presented with the first temptation of the season, in which each new HouseGuest had a chance to secretly win $25,000. Kevin Schlehuber was the quickest to claim the monetary prize, resulting in two different consequences. The first consequence was personal : Kevin was not allowed to win the first Head of Household competition ; to keep his winning a secret, he had to throw ( intentionally lose ) the competition. The second consequence unleashed a major twist on the House called the `` BB Swap. '' This resulted in Paul Abrahamian, runner - up from the previous season, entering the House as a full HouseGuest eligible to win by taking the place of an original HouseGuest. Shortly after entering Paul was given nine friendship bracelets which gave immunity from the first eviction. Paul was instructed to take one for himself and give the remaining eight friendship bracelets to the HouseGuests that did a good job tempting him. The remaining eight HouseGuests took part in a competition for safety which resulted in Cameron, Christmas, and Jillian being nominated for eviction. The three nominees were given the power to choose how their fate would be determined. The nominees had a choice of a competition or a house eviction vote. Only Cameron chose to have a competition ; shortly after, the HouseGuests voted to evict Cameron from the House. The following temptation would be during the second Week 1 HoH competition. During the competition, a golden apple appeared that would guarantee safety for the person who grabbed it, but would eliminate the team from the competition. Josh took the temptation, eliminating his team from the HoH competition. In the Week 1 Power of Veto competition, the first HouseGuest to find a gold starfish and place it on their shelf would earn a Never - Not pass, meaning they can not be a Have - Not for the rest of the season with the consequence of eliminating themselves from the competition. Raven took the temptation. Battle Back Showdown Instead of permanent eviction, the first four evicted HouseGuests received a chance to return to the game. Unlike last season, this showdown was done in playoff style. They will participate in a 3 - Round - Battle in order to gain their spot back in the house. The first competition `` Maze Race '' will eliminate the bottom two finishers, permanently eliminating them from the game. Dominique and Jillian lost the competition to Cody and Cameron respectively ; The second Competition between Cody and Cameron determined which first four evicted HouseGuest will be the last one standing and battle one of the HouseGuests in the house for a chance to get back to the house. If the evicted HouseGuest wins against the current HouseGuest, the remaining evictee will have a second chance to re-enter the house. However if the current HouseGuest defeats the returning evictee, no one will be returning to the house effectively blocking the Battle Back. The HouseGuests unanimously voted to chose Paul to battle Cody in the final competition. Cody chose `` Maze Race '' as the final competition. Cody won and re-entered the house on Day 30. All three duels aired in a special episode on July 21. Round # Winner ( s ) Loser ( s ) Cody, Cameron Dominique, Jillian Cody Cameron Cody Paul Den of temptation During the first three weeks of the season, the viewing public will vote for a HouseGuest of their choice to secretly enter a room called the Den of Temptation. The temptation inside the den could provide an advantage in the game but will come with a consequence that may affect one or more HouseGuests. The public 's chosen HouseGuest can choose to accept the temptation or reject it completely. Each HouseGuest can only be chosen to enter the den once during their time in the House. The results of the vote and the HouseGuest decision will be shown during the Sunday primetime episode.

After getting settled in and introductions were done, they were then informed by series host Julie Chen that the theme for this season is `` Summer of Temptation '', where they would face various offers during the game that would offer them prizes and unique game - changing advantages throughout the season. However, every temptation that was accepted in the House would have a consequence that would affect at least one of the other HouseGuests. They began the summer inside the Garden of Temptation, the first competition of the season. The HouseGuests, while sequestered in 16 separate pods, were given the offer of $25,000. A flower was placed in front of the pods and the first HouseGuest to press their button when the flower lit up green would win the money. The identity of the person who pressed the button to accept the money would remain anonymous, however their actions would unleash the first twist of the season. Kevin accepted the offer, but in doing so it required him to throw the first Head of Household competition as he was now ineligible to win it. As another consequence for Kevin pressing the button, Paul from Big Brother 18 re-entered the House as the seventeenth HouseGuest. However, it was revealed by Chen that he would be swapping spots with one of the new HouseGuests that would be evicted the same night in a first - ever `` BB Swap. '' Paul was given the task to select eight HouseGuests to receive a `` friendship '' bracelet. Any HouseGuest who received a `` friendship '' bracelet would be immune from eviction. He gave bracelets to Kevin, Raven, Dominique, Mark, Jason, Jessica, Ramses, and Elena. The remaining eight HouseGuests battled for their lives in the Tempted by the Fruit competition. In this competition, HouseGuests had to stand on a trapeze bar while holding on to a rope. If a HouseGuest fell off, they had to select an apple from a serpent. Four apples contained safety, while three apples were `` poisonous ''. As the competition continued, Julie would give them clues guiding them to the four safe apples. The last HouseGuest standing would guarantee his or her safety from the eviction, and the three HouseGuests with poisonous apples would be nominated for the first eviction. Cody was the winner ; Christmas, Cameron, and Jillian had the poisoned apples and were put on the block. The nominees were then presented with their own temptation. Each nominee had the power to decide how their fate would ultimately be determined. They would each decide to either face an eviction vote or compete in an eviction competition, with the top 2 finishers guaranteed safety and the third place finisher automatically evicted. By a vote of 2 - 1, they decided to face an eviction vote, with Cameron voting for an eviction competition. On Day 1, Cameron was evicted by an 8 - 3 - 2 vote, with Cody, Mark, and Matt voting to evict Jillian, and Josh and Jason voting to evict Christmas. Julie then revealed the next twist to the viewers. Each week, America would vote to select one HouseGuest to enter the `` Den of Temptation. '' Inside the Den, they would be offered a temptation. A HouseGuest is only able to be selected once throughout the entire season. However, every temptation will come with a consequence. Following Cameron 's eviction, Big Brother 18 winner Nicole hosted the HouseGuests in the Hangs in the Balance Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were divided into four same - gender teams. One at a time, HouseGuests had to swing across their ropes and grab a rotten apple and then return it to their station. However, they were all tempted by a golden apple : the first HouseGuest to return a golden apple would earn safety for the week, but would also eliminate their entire team from the competition. Josh took the temptation, eliminating his team. The first two teams to retrieve eight apples would advance to the second round of the competition. The pink team and the blue team were the winners, who then went head - to - head to balance seven apples on a tree. However, only one person per team could compete. The first HouseGuest to successfully balance their apples would be the first Head of Household. Cody was the winner and on Day 5, he nominated Jillian and Megan for eviction. As Head of Household, Cody was required to name five Have - Nots for the week. He selected Megan, Josh, Jillian, Paul, and Ramses. However, the Have - Nots were offered a temptation. On the wall of the Have - Not room, there were two available spikes. Inside one spike is a Have - Not Escape which would allow its holder to leave the Have - Not Room and become a Have for the week. However, the other held a Have - Not Extension, making the holder a Have - Not for an extra week. One Have - Not per week could go to the Diary Room to claim the key to unlock a spike. On Day 8, Megan walked from the game after an argument with numerous HouseGuests over an alleged racial slur. Paul took the Have - Not temptation and successfully claimed the Have - Not Escape. The HouseGuests learned of the Den of Temptation. Paul was given the offer of the Pendant of Protection, which would give him immunity for the next three evictions. By accepting the offer, another HouseGuest would be cursed. Whichever HouseGuest was represented by the chosen bottle would be the consequence recipient. On Day 9, Cody nominated Alex to replace Megan on the block alongside Jillian. As consequence for Paul accepting the Pendant, one HouseGuest was `` bitten '' by a snake inside the Den. The HouseGuest bitten will be cursed and be given further instructions by Big Brother. Ramses was bitten and learned that he must place himself on the block as a third nominee within one of the next three nomination ceremonies. On Day 9, Cody, Alex, and Jillian, alongside Matt, Raven, and Jason, scrapped in the Fin to Win Power of Veto competition, which was hosted by Kevin. In this competition, HouseGuests had to pull the plug on their water timer, causing it to drain. They had to then search the water for starfish and put them on their stacking shelf one at a time. If their water began to run low, they could collect water from the ocean to put in their timer. Once a HouseGuest 's water timer was empty, their starfish were locked in. However, the players were also offered a temptation. The first HouseGuest to find a gold starfish and place it on their shelf would earn a Never - Not pass, meaning they can not be a Have - Not for the rest of the season. However, they would eliminate themselves from the competition. Raven took the temptation. The HouseGuest with the most starfish stacked on their shelf after their water had drained would win the Power of Veto. Alex won the Power of Veto, and on Day 11, she took herself off the block, and Cody attempted to nominate Paul, who was immune thanks to the Pendant of Protection. This led Cody to nominate Christmas as the third replacement nominee. Christmas broke her foot in multiple places as well as tearing some ligaments when she and Jason were clowning around in the backyard. Even though Christmas was Cody 's target, many people were angry with Cody 's unforeseen nomination of Christmas. On Day 16, Jillian was evicted by an 8 - 4 vote, with Alex, Jason, Jessica, and Ramses voting to evict Christmas. Following Jillian 's eviction, the HouseGuests crushed it in the Sugar Shot Head of Household competition, sponsored by the new CBS game show Candy Crush. In this competition, candies would fall into the yard. The HouseGuests needed to search the candies for tickets. Each ticket would give them one shot on the board. HouseGuests could exchange tickets and take up to three shots at one time. The first HouseGuest to land a ball in the center heart would be the new Head of Household. Paul was the winner. Cody, Jason, Jessica, and Matt became the Have - Nots for the week. On Day 17, Christmas was tempted with the `` Ring of Replacement '' inside the Den. If she accepts this temptation, she can replace a randomly drawn player in any Veto competition this season. She accepted the temptation. She was then required to select three HouseGuests for the curse, and these three will be the only people Christmas has the option to replace. She selected Cody, Jessica, and Jason. On Day 17, Paul nominated Alex and Josh for eviction, with the plan to backdoor Cody, while Ramses revealed his curse and named himself as a third nominee. As consequence for Christmas accepting the temptation, Cody, Jessica, and Jason had to wear toad suits for the week. Jason accepted the Have - Not temptation and claimed the Have - Not Extension. On Day 18, Paul, Alex, Josh, and Ramses, alongside Elena and Matt, recalled in the Path of Least Resistance Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests competed individually. They must go through a series of rooms and answer questions based on what they have seen throughout the previous rooms. If they answer a question correctly, they may walk through a quicker path. If they answer incorrectly, they must take a delayed path that contains a challenge that will slow them down. The HouseGuest to make it through all five areas in the fastest time will win the Power of Veto. Paul was the winner. On Day 20, Paul took Josh off the block and named Cody as the replacement nominee. On Day 23, Cody was evicted by a 7 - 3 - 0 vote, with Christmas, Jessica, and Kevin voting to evict Ramses. Julie then informed Cody and America that the first four evicted HouseGuests would compete in the `` Battle Back Showdown '' with a chance to return to the game. Due to Christmas ' foot injury in the previous week, she was offered two options for the rest of her game : to either receive the medical treatments in the BB House with her having to sit out of some games as she would not be medically eligible to compete, or exit the BB House immediately. She decided to stay in the House. As a result, she cast her eviction vote from the hospital nearby and was sidelined for the following HOH competition. Following Cody 's eviction, the HouseGuests blasted off in the Space Cadets Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests stood on a small foothold and held on to their handles, trying to stay on the side of the space station. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Alex was the winner. On Day 24, Alex nominated Dominique and Jessica for eviction. On Day 25, Alex, Dominique, and Jessica, joined by Kevin, Christmas, and Jason, felt the heat in the Temple of Temptation Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must walk across their suspended beam and hit their statue. They must then return and hit their button again. Each time they hit their button, they will earn a point. If they fall in the lava, however, their counter will reset to zero. However, the HouseGuests were also offered a temptation. The first HouseGuest to hit their special button will earn a money prize, but they will eliminate themselves from the competition. The first HouseGuest to get fifty points will win the Power of Veto. Kevin claimed the temptation of $27. Jason was the winner. On Day 27, Jason decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 28, Jessica was tempted with the `` Halting Hex ''. If she accepts this temptation, she can cancel any of the next four evictions. She accepted the offer. On Day 30, Dominique was evicted by a 10 - 0 vote. The HouseGuests were then informed of the `` Battle Back Showdown ''. The evicted HouseGuests would face off in a series of head - to - head matches, with the winner facing the next evicted HouseGuest. The last standing will have a second chance at the game. Cody was the winner. However, the HouseGuests were given a chance to prevent Cody 's return. They must select one of them to face off against Cody in a final round. If the current HouseGuest wins, no one will return. The HouseGuests selected Paul. Cody beat Paul, and he returned to the game. Following Cody 's return, the HouseGuests stuck it out in the What 's the Hold Up ? Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must press their red traffic disk up by pressing it against their board with their stick. If a HouseGuest drops their disk, they will be eliminated. As a HouseGuest is eliminated, they must select a HouseGuest to punish, making it more difficult for them to continue. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Jessica was the winner. For being the first three HouseGuests out of the Head of Household competition, Kevin, Mark, Paul, as well as Josh, became Have - Nots for the week. On Day 31, Jessica nominated Josh and Ramses for eviction. Mark accepted the Have - Not temptation and received the Have - Not Extension. On Day 32, Jessica, Josh, and Ramses mixed it up with Cody, Jason, and Christmas in the BB Juicy Blast Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests will watch the monitor to see a sequence of smoothie ingredients. After the sequence, they will be asked a question based on the sequence they just saw. If a HouseGuest answers incorrectly, they will be eliminated. The last HouseGuest standing will win the Power of Veto. Jessica was the winner. On Day 34, Jessica decided not to use the Power of Veto. Paul hoped to flip the vote and keep Josh safe and use him to go after Jessica and Cody. On Day 37, Ramses was evicted by a 7 - 3 vote, with Cody, Mark, and Elena voting to evict Josh. Julie revealed to the viewers that as consequence for Jessica accepting the temptation last week, a new competition known as the `` Temptation Competition '' would be in play for the next three weeks. Each week, each HouseGuest will decide whether or not they wish to participate in the competition. The HouseGuest who wins the competition will earn safety for the week. However, the HouseGuest who places last in the competition will be a third nominee for the week. Following Ramses ' eviction, the HouseGuests were quizzed in the Inked and Evicted Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were asked a series of questions based on photos of the evicted HouseGuests. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Paul was the winner. On Day 38, the HouseGuests learned of the Temptation Competition. Alex, Jason, Mark, and Matt decided to compete in the competition. The four then danced in the Bowlerina Temptation Competition. In this competition, HouseGuests competed individually. They must spin around their handle fifteen times. They will then earn fifteen seconds of bowling time. If they run out of time, they must spin again to earn more time. The HouseGuest who knocks down their four pins the fastest will win safety for the week, while the slowest competitor will be on the block as a third nominee. Mark was the winner, and Jason became the third nominee. On Day 38, Paul nominated Cody and Jessica for eviction. Elena accepted the Have - Not temptation and received the Have - Not Extension. On Day 39, Paul, Jessica, Cody, and Jason, accompanied by Kevin and Raven, weathered the pain in the returned Under the Weather Power of Veto competition. The day before the competition, HouseGuests listened to a series of BB Storm Watch updates. In this competition, HouseGuests competed individually. HouseGuests looked at a teleprompter for sentences with blanks. HouseGuests had to report the weather and fill in the blanks with the name of one of the first four evicted HouseGuests while standing in a storm. If the sentence passes through the teleprompter before the HouseGuest fills in the blank, they will be incorrect. The HouseGuest who fills in the most blanks correctly will win the Power of Veto. Paul was the winner. On Day 41, Paul used the Power of Veto on Jason. On Day 44, Jessica used the Halting Hex and canceled the eviction. Following Jessica 's use of the Halting Hex, the HouseGuests putted for power in the Gravestone Golf Head of Household competition. In this competition, each HouseGuest will putt their eye ball down the course, attempting to land it in the highest numbered slot possible. The slot their ball lands in will be their score. The HouseGuest with the highest score will be the new Head of Household. Josh was the winner. On Day 45, all HouseGuests except Christmas accepted the offer to compete in the Temptation Competition. The HouseGuests then blacked out in the Strangest Things Temptation Competition. In this competition, HouseGuests competed individually. They must walk through the pitch black House in search of phrases written on the wall. Each phrase will have a circled letter. They must unscramble the circled letters, locate the correct item, and put it in the box. The HouseGuest who locates the item and puts it in the box in the fastest time will win safety for the week, while the HouseGuest with the slowest time will be a third nominee for the week. Cody was the winner, and Jessica became the third nominee. On Day 45, Josh nominated Elena and Mark for eviction. On Day 46, Josh, Mark, Elena, and Jessica, plus Alex, and Christmas, after she used her Ring of Replacement to take Cody 's spot, vied in the OTEV the Possessed Piglet Power of Veto competition.

They must search the field for the shoe with the correct number, and return it to OTEV and kneel on a stump. However, there will always be one less stump than HouseGuests. The last HouseGuest to return with the correct number will be eliminated. The last HouseGuest standing will win the Power of Veto. Mark was the winner. On Day 48, Mark used the Power of Veto on himself, and Josh named Raven as the replacement nominee. On Day 51, Jessica was evicted by a 7 - 1 - 0 vote, with Cody voting to evict Raven.

Alex was the winner. For being the first four HouseGuests eliminated in the Head of Household competition, Kevin, Mark, Jason, and Paul became Have - Nots for the week. The day before the Temptation Competition, the HouseGuests were surprised by a series of random sounds. All HouseGuests except Christmas accepted the offer to compete in the Temptation Competition. On Day 52, the HouseGuests were irritated in the Where Were You ? Temptation Competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were asked where they were in the House when a specific sound went off. They must then stand on their location on the blueprint of the House. Each correct answer earns HouseGuests a point. The HouseGuest with the most points after ten questions will win safety for the week, and the HouseGuest with the least points will be the third nominee for the week. Mark was the winner, and Matt became the third nominee for the week. On Day 52, Alex nominated Elena and Jason for eviction. Mark accepted the Have - Not temptation and claimed the Have - Not Escape. On Day 53, Alex, Elena, Jason, and Matt, alongside Paul and Mark, launched in the BB Adventure Tour Power of Veto competition, sponsored by Outback Steakhouse. In each round of this competition, each HouseGuest shot an arrow at a map with a series of numbers. After a spot is landed on, it is out of play. The HouseGuest with the lowest score will be eliminated. However, when they are eliminated, they will open a prize. HouseGuests eliminated in future rounds will have the option to swap their prize with a prize that was already revealed.

On Day 58, Cody was re-evicted by a 7 - 0 vote. He became the first member of the jury. Immediately following Cody 's eviction, the HouseGuests slid in the Let It Slide Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests competed in head - to - head matches. They will each slide a shuffleboard disc down their lane. The HouseGuest with a puck closest to the edge without falling off will win the match and eliminate their opponent. The remaining HouseGuest will then select the next two HouseGuests to face off.

After it turns red, the first HouseGuest to enter the Diary Room may claim an apple. A HouseGuest may only accept one apple while the twist is in play. Each apple contains a prize or a punishment, but the HouseGuests will not know what is inside until they open it. On Day 59, the Tree of Temptation turned red. Mark accepted the temptation.

Paul was given immunity from the first eviction and had to give immunity to eight HouseGuests of his choice by giving them a friendship bracelet. ^ Note 2 : Those who did not get a friendship bracelet had to compete in a competition in order to stay in the house. Cameron, Christmas and Jillian lost this competition and were nominated for eviction. The three nominees were given a choice between an eviction vote or an eviction competition. The eviction vote was held after a 2 - 1 vote in favor of an eviction vote ; only Cameron voted for an eviction competition. Paul was not eligible to vote but would cast a tiebreaker vote if required. ^ Note 3 : Due to accepting the $25,000 temptation on Day 1, Kevin was not allowed to win the first Head of Household competition and had to secretly throw it. ^ Note 4 : Because Josh retrieved the Golden Apple in the HoH competition, he was awarded immunity for that week. ^ Note 5 : Because Megan walked from the game while still being one of Cody 's original nominations, he had to choose a replacement nominee, ultimately choosing Alex. ^ Note 6 : For the first three weeks, America voted to tempt three houseguests, one per week. Because Paul accepted the Pendant of Protection temptation, he is immune for the next three evictions. Paul chose to keep this immunity a secret until Cody attempted to nominate him for eviction at the Week 1 Veto Ceremony. ^ Note 7 : During Week 1, Ramses was cursed with having to nominate himself as a 3rd nominee within the next three weeks. He chose to nominate himself during Week 2. In the event that the PoV was used on Ramses, no replacement nominee would be named. ^ Note 8 : Instead of permanent eviction, the first four evicted HouseGuests received a chance to return to the game through the `` Battle Back Showdown. '' All four evictees faced off in a duel, in which two winners of the first round advanced to face each other in the second round and the losers from both rounds were permanently eliminated ; going into the third duel, Cody was the last evictee standing and beat Paul to officially win re-entry into the house. ^ Note 9 : Paul was voted to battle Cody in the final round of the Battle Back Showdown. Ultimately, Cody defeated Paul and re-entered the game on Day 30. ^ Note 10 : Since Jessica accepted the Halting Hex temptation, the consequence was a new competition unleashed for the next 3 weeks. The winner of the temptation competition would be immune for the week, however, the person that finishes last in the competition will be automatically nominated as a third nominee, indicated in bold. This temptation nominee is irreplaceable if the veto is used on them. ^ Note 11 : On Day 44, Jessica used the Halting Hex, which halted Week 5 's Eviction. ^ Note 12 : This week was a double eviction week. Following the first eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week 's worth of games -- including HoH and Veto competitions and Nomination, Veto and Eviction ceremonies -- during the remainder of the live show, culminating in a second eviction for the week. ^ Note 13 : Through the Tree of Temptation, Mark earned the power to `` Save a Friend '' which allowed him to grant immunity to another HouseGuest ; he chose Paul. ^ Note 14 : Due to nobody picking an apple from the Tree of Temptation, no one received a temptation. ^ Note 15 : Matt was given a penalty vote for eviction after eating normal food while on the mandatory Have - Not slop diet. ^ Note 16 : As Head of Household, Christmas was forced to break the tie on Day 79. ^ Note 17 : As Head of Household, Josh was forced to break the tie on Day 84. Controversies and criticisms Paul Abrahamian received criticism for his controversial mimicking of another HouseGuest. In Week 3, he targeted Dominique Cooper for eviction and decided to apply black facial cosmetics and clothing that resembled the skin of a snake, a metaphor that she had called him in an effort to expose his strategy to the other HouseGuests. Given that Cooper is African American, Abrahamian 's actions were deemed racist when he referred to the cosmetics as `` blackface ''. Viewers also debated on Abrahamian 's alleged bullying tactics in which he encouraged other HouseGuests to antagonize those considered `` outcasts '' in the House, especially showmance allies Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson. Some notable incidents include Christmas Abbott propagating aspersions on Nickson 's military service, and Alex Ow and Raven Walton engaging in verbal arguments with Graf. Likewise, a physical confrontation nearly transpired between Josh Martinez and Mark Jansen after the latter defended Nickson and the former responded with his frying - pan shtick, prompting Big Brother production to force them to opposite ends of the House. A fistfight almost ensued between Abrahamian and Nickson as well after the former patronized Graf in front of Nickson in the HoH Room before Abrahamian sent Nickson out while screaming condescensions at him. Some fans also perceived Megan Lowder 's controversial exit in Week 1 as a result of bullying. During a backyard conversation, Lowder overheard Graf refer to Ow as `` Panda, '' which Lowder considered to be racist due to its Asian connotation. However, Graf actually said `` PaoPao, '' which alluded to the nickname of Big Brother 16 HouseGuest Paola Shea, of whom Ow reminded Graf due to both being Asian Americans. After being informed of the comment by Lowder, Ow clarified the issue with Graf before they assumed that Lowder fabricated the comment for game - related purposes, prompting them to confront her. Feeling overwhelmed by the confrontation, Lowder broke down and stayed long in the Diary Room where she brought up her history of posttraumatic stress disorder with the show 's producers. Concerned of her mental health, production came to a mutual decision with Lowder that it would be best for her to self - evict on Day 8. Viewers called for Jason Dent 's expulsion from the House after he was caught on the live feeds making rape and assault jokes in front of other HouseGuests. In one instance, Dent commented on having sex with Kevin Schlehuber 's wife, Deborah, while all their daughters were tied up and forced to watch the act. In an interview with TMZ, Deborah Schlehuber said that Dent 's comments were disturbing and `` the worst thing she 's ever seen. '' On Twitter, Dent 's family apologized for the comments but stated that the comments were taken out of context, which Deborah doubted as she believed her husband would never joke as such about anyone in any situation. Dent was also seen making similar jokes earlier in the competition, such as restraining Walton and having male HouseGuests `` take turns '' on her, and once telling cops about raping women at a nursing home. Dent and Nickson sparked backlash after footage of remarks regarded as transphobic were depicted on the live feeds. Graf informed Dent and Nickson that Audrey Middleton of Big Brother 17 was the first transgender contestant in the show 's history. Nickson proceeded to mock Middleton 's gender identity, and Dent faltered on what pronoun to use. Middleton addressed the controversy through Twitter, stating that both contestants should be educated on the topic. Nickson was also criticized for his use of the term `` tranny '' several times earlier in the game. Jessica Graf was criticized for making inappropriate contact with several other HouseGuests. Footage on the live feeds showcases Graf trying to surprise HouseGuests by poking them in the rear in a joking manner without consent. When confronted by other HouseGuests about the issue, Graf dismissed any serious wrong - doing and laughed off allegations of sexual harassment and invasion of privacy as over-dramatisations. One episode featured a conversation between Ow and Martinez where the former discussed how the incident made her uncomfortable because it reminded her of her cousin who had been raped and murdered.
