Why Isn’t ‘Big Brother’ On At Its Usual Time Tonight (10/19/23)?


It has been a weird week on “Big Brother” on CBS with a secret head of household, secret eviction nominations and two power-of-veto winners.

The eviction episode airs usually airs at 9 p.m. Thursdays, however, the Oct. 19, 2023, will be delayed because of live coverage of President Joe Biden’s remarks from the Oval Office about Israel and Ukraine. “Big Brother” is expected to come on around 9:15 p.m.

Jag Bains was the “secret” head of household. He secretly nominated Felicia Cannon and Blue Kim for eviction. Then, he and Kim each won a power of veto so now it appears Cory Wurtenberger and America Lopez will be up for eviction tonight.

The remaining players are:

  • America Lopez, 27, a medical receptionist from Texas who lives in Brooklyn, New York
  • Blue Kim, 25, a brand strategist from California who lives in New York, New York
