All Big Brother Week 8 Scary Week Twists & Changes Explained

Scary Week has taken over the Big Brother 25 house, with twists and turns that will change everything, even resurrecting one evicted houseguest’s game. After Thursday’s double eviction, in which Cameron Hardin, a 34-year-old stay-at-home dad from Eastman, Georgia, and Jared Fields, a 25-year-old exterminator from Norwalk, Connecticut, were both eliminated, host Julie Chen Moonves informed them that they’d been given the opportunity to re-enter the house, and one of them would be returning to the game. In addition, for the first time ever, the week will play out with a completely different format, as the episode schedule changes as well.

Throughout Big Brother 25, there have been incredible twists that have shaken up the game. From the multiverse being unleashed in the house, to Survivor legend Cirie Fields (and Jared’s mom) being added to the cast as the 17th houseguest, the show’s milestone season has reinvented the game, while also honoring its storied past. Scary Week is demonstrating that everyone should always remember Big Brother’s motto, “expect the unexpected,” as so many shocking changes will rock the house this week.

Cameron Hardin & Jared Fields Are Big Brother Zombies For The Week

Cameron and Jared were both eliminated during the double eviction, but they now will have the chance to return to the game. After they left the Big Brother house, Julie told them that they will become Zombies who will live in the house. Cameron was not surprised to be unanimously evicted, but Jared was shocked that he was targeted. He only received one vote to stay, which was from his mom, Cirie. As Cameron and Jared return to the house, they’ll have the opportunity to confront the houseguests for voting them out.

Either Cameron Or Jared Will Resurrect His Big Brother 25 Game

Julie announced that, on Thursday, either Cameron or Jared’s game will be resurrected live. One of them will get a second chance at winning the $750,000 grand prize. Although the details about how they’ll return to the game haven’t been disclosed, it’s certain to be a difficult path for them. However, they should be up to the task, considering they’ve already been such fierce competitors during Big Brother 25.

Cameron and Jared have won more competitions than any other Big Brother 25 houseguests. Jared and Cameron have both won two Head of Household (HOH) competitions and one Power of Veto. One of Jared’s most important wins was in the iconic Wall endurance competition, which proved that he has the stamina to outlast his competitors.

Cameron’s first HOH win came when he lasted a stunning 13 hours and 49 minutes in the legendary Pressure Cooker endurance competition. He was just five minutes short of breaking the record for the longest competition in Big Brother history. Cameron also survived being nominated three times before he was finally evicted during his fourth stint on the chopping block. He has repeatedly demonstrated that he has the physical and mental prowess to win Big Brother 25.

There Will Be No Head Of Household (HOH) This Week

For the first time in Big Brother history, there won’t be an HOH this week. This is presumably because Cameron and Jared have already been nominated for eviction in a sense. It’s currently unclear what roles the other houseguests will play throughout Scary Week. As Cameron and Jared battle their way back into the house, there will be no need for anyone to take the lead as HOH. Instead, Scary Week is in control.

There Will Be No Nominations This Week

Because there is no HOH this week, there will also not be any nominations. However, Cameron and Jared are like nominees, considering that they’re both on the chopping block as Zombies. This unique twist allows the other houseguests to sit back for the week.

However, the consequences of the houseguests’ actions at the double eviction could come back to haunt them, depending on whether it’s Cameron or Jared who returns to the house. This is especially true of Cory Wurtenberger and Matt Klotz, who were instrumental in evicting Jared, as Cory was the HOH and Matt won the Power of Veto during the second eviction. Jared will definitely be seeking answers as to why he was nearly unanimously evicted from the house by people whom he thought were his allies.

There Will Be No Power Of Veto Competition This Week

A Power of Veto competition is also unnecessary this week, since there are no nominees to save from the chopping block. Instead, Cameron and Jared must save themselves from eviction by fighting to resurrect their own games. It’ll be interesting to see if the other houseguests have any say in who returns to the game. Cameron and Jared might have to compete to resurrect their games, or perhaps the houseguests will vote for which of the two of them they want to see return. The houseguests will be choosing the lesser of evils for their games, considering that both Cameron and Jared will likely return seeking revenge for their evictions.

Big Brother 25 Scary Week Schedule Changes

Big Brother 25 has already had a few schedule changes throughout its run. During Scary Week, the Sunday night episode will air in its usual 10 p.m. EDT time slot. During that show, Cameron and Jared’s return to the house as Zombies will air. Then, for Scary Week only, there will be no Wednesday episode. Wednesday episodes air the Power of Veto competition and ceremony, which aren’t happening this week. Instead, CBS will air the season premiere of Survivor. Finally, Thursday’s episode, in which either Cameron or Jared will resurrect his game live, will air at 9 p.m. EDT instead of 8 p.m. EDT.

Big Brother 25 Scary Week has brought some terrifying twists to the game. As Cameron and Jared fight their way back into the house as Zombies, the other houseguests will have to face the consequences of evicting them in the first place. It’ll be intriguing to see which of them returns to the house, and if he’ll be able to repair his relationships with his fellow houseguests. Whatever happens, Big Brother 25 Scary Week will definitely be thrilling and chilling.
