Fans Are Furious About the New Big Brother HOH Winner
Big Brother introduced a totally new twist called Camp Comeback on Wednesday night's episode, immediately after Ovi Kabir was eliminated from the house.
Following the voting ceremony, houseguests participated in the second HOH competition—and Jack Matthews proved victorious.
Does anyone have a spare gym towel? Because we are profusely sweating after the latest episode of Big Brother.
To cut right to the chase, Wednesday night's episode found—spoiler alert—Ovi Kabir becoming the very first houseguest eliminated from the Big Brother house. (Brush up on how, exactly, the voting went down here). But since season 21 has so far come with plenty of twists, host Julie Chen didn't fail to keep us on our toes.
Moments after Ovi was evicted, she introduced an entirely new twist called Camp Comeback. Basically, the first four houseguests evicted from the competition won't technically be evicted at all. Instead, they'll live in a cabin within the Big Brother house and participate in the social game (no competitions, voting, or ceremonies for them) as one of the four will eventually return to the official competition.
Following that twist, the remaining houseguests stayed for the next Head of Household competition, which had a 4th of July fireworks theme. It was down to the wire with Jack Matthews and Jessica Milagros being the final two in the round—and Jack was ultimately victorious. So how did viewers react? Well, uh, let's just say people are not happy.

#BBJack won #HOH. Get ready for a power hungry, arrogant, misogynistic and predictable week. @CBSBigBrother #BB21 #BigBrother #BigBrother21 #WeKnewThisWouldHappen

Worst possible outcome, Big Brother is very on brand for 2019 - but on the bright side, Jack is going to absolutely destroy himself this week. Better sooner than later #bb21

Another week of him being allowed to say racist and disrespectful comments but if Jessica would have won I’m pretty sure analyse would have been able to control her because Jessica feels like the time that wants to be a popular girl I was pushing for Nicole

But why the drama? Well, last week, eagle-eyed fans watched Jackshare some pretty derogatory (and racist and misogynistic) comments about other houseguests during the Big Brother live feeds. The comments were so bad, in fact, a change.org petition was started to get him expelled from the show.
Obviously, that didn't work—and we'll have another week of Big Brother with Jack leading the strategy.
