Key Moments

Kamu Torches Dee's Bribe

Out of numbers and out of time, Kamu tells Mallory about Dee's secret BB Bribe — burning his former partner's biggest advantage on a vote that was never going to move.

Angela Runs the Tucker Method

Angela Runs the Tucker Method

Red and yellow balls howling through a wind tunnel, and Angela ignores all of them — scooping off the floor the way BB26's Tucker did — to buzz in first and yank herself off the block.

Yash Invents a Nomination

The HOH who lost control of his own week tells Mallory and Melody that Dee wanted them on the block. It isn't true, and both of them believe it.

8–1, and LaLa Stands Alone

8–1, and LaLa Stands Alone

The Mosh Pit votes as one and Kamu is gone. LaTrice casts the only vote to keep him — the lone Covenant member who kept the deal.

“It Is What It Is; It's a Good Move”

“It Is What It Is; It's a Good Move”

No bitterness on the way out the door. Kamu tips his cap to the swing that got him, telling Julie it just stinks to be standing on the wrong side of it.

Eviction Night

Eviction night, and the man who spent all of Week 5 refusing to use a veto never got one to use.

Rick Devens' Diamond Power of Veto had already rewritten the board on Wednesday — Dee Valladares came down, Kamu Kirk went up, and HOH Yash Patel watched his own week get taken out of his hands. That left Kamu, Haley Thogmartin and Angela Murray in the wind tunnel for the BB Block Buster: red and yellow balls whipping through the air, ten of each to be sorted into matching tubes.

Angela won it, and nobody was more surprised than Angela. While the other two chased balls through the air she worked the floor — the "Tucker Method," lifted from BB26 — and buzzed in first for the upset that pulled her off the block and left Kamu and Haley to face the house.

Kamu did not go quietly into the vote. He told Mallory Aurichio about Dee's secret BB Bribe, torching his old partner's best-kept advantage in a last-ditch attempt to swing numbers that were never coming. Yash muddied it further, telling Mallory and Melody Morris that Dee had asked him to nominate them — a lie, and one with a shelf life. None of it mattered. The Mosh Pit voted as a bloc and sent Kamu out 8–1, with LaTrice Verrett casting the lone vote to keep him — the only member of the week-old Covenant who actually honored it.

"It is what it is; it's a good move," Kamu told the house on his way out, and he kept the same tone with Julie: it "stinks to be on the wrong side of" a move that big, but he respected the swing. He leaves as the sixth houseguest evicted, the second straight casualty of the alliance he built and then abandoned. The Covenant is seven days old and already down a man — and the secret he burned on his way out is still sitting in Mallory's lap.
