DOMINIC’S EXIT DURING THURSDAY NIGHT’S LIVE EVICTION SHOW SIGNALS THE BEGINNING OF INDIVIDUAL PLAY INSIDE THE “BIG BROTHER” HOUSE

LOS ANGELES, July 29 – During last night’s LIVE eviction on BIG BROTHER, the Houseguests voted to evict Dominic, the 25-year-old college student from San Mateo, Calif., by a vote of 7-1. Following the eviction ceremony, Julie informed the Houseguests that, since they have reached the final 10, the era of the Golden Key and mandatory duos have concluded. From this point forward, all players will compete for themselves.

Following the eviction ceremony, the Houseguests competed in the “Big Brother Slalom” Head of Household competition, where they had to balance on skis during inclement weather, on an increasingly steep hillside. The HOH winner will be revealed during the BIG BROTHER episode airing Sunday, July 31.

BIG BROTHER is broadcast three nights weekly, Sundays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), Wednesdays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) and the LIVE eviction show, hosted by Julie Chen, Thursdays (9:00-10:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT).

BIG BROTHER follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with more than 52 cameras and 95 microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, the Houseguests will vote someone out of the house. At the end, the last remaining House Guest will receive the grand prize of $500,000.

BIG BROTHER is executive produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol U.S.A.
