WEDNESDAY night’s episode of Big Brother delivered a dramatic Power of Veto ceremony in which two contestants were saved from the chopping block.
It comes ahead of the latest live eviction – scheduled to take place on Thursday (August 4) at 9pm ET.
What is the veto on Big Brother?
Every week, six Big Brother houseguests compete for the power of veto.
These include the Head of Household (HoH) the two nominees, and three other houseguests chosen by the three guaranteed players.
The winner of this competition has the power to remove a contestant from the eviction block.
If a houseguest chooses to use the Power of Veto (PoV), the HoH must put up a replacement nominee for eviction.
The holder of the PoV is protected from eviction.
Unlike HoH competitions, the HoH is allowed to participate in the PoV competition, as well as the two nominees.
While in charge, the HoH is rewarded with their own bedroom and is responsible for nominating two of the other houseguests for eviction.
The Head of Household (HoH) is safe from eviction that week and is not allowed to participate in the following week’s HoH competition, except for the final HoH competition of the season.
Who won the veto on Big Brother 2022?
Kyle and Daniel won the competition, meaning that they now hold the golden Power of Veto.
It is the first week that Michael hasn’t won the POV in this season.
Kyle and Daniel used the veto to save Indy and Alyssa from the chopping block.
HoH Monte immediately nominated Nicole and Taylor.

When Head of Household Monte spoke to Nicole and Daniel ahead of the veto ceremony, he cleverly suggested that Daniel and Kyle not use the veto, which led a distrustful Daniel to go against his wishes and use it in an attempt to backdoor Taylor.
The surprising veto allowed Monte to nominate Nicole and Taylor, as Nicole has become The Leftovers alliance’s new target for Thursday’s eviction after her and Daniel’s recent behavior toward Taylor.
“What type of sweet revenge would that be if Daniel is the cause of his best friend going home?” Taylor later said in the Diary Room.
