If you’re a fan of the show but haven’t had a chance to catch up on the latest evictee, you might be wondering who went home on Big Brother 25 this week. We got you.

Big Brother is CBS’ reality TV competition show following a group of contestants, known as “Houseguests, as they live together in a specially constructed house isolated from the outside world and compete for a $500,000 to $750,000 cash prize. The name of the series, which is based on the original Dutch reality TV show of the same name, is inspired by the character Big Brother George Orwell’s 1949 book, Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Unlike other reality TV shows, housemates on Big Brother are continually monitored throughout their time in the house by live television cameras and personal audio microphones. Viewers at home can watch the contestants 24/7 via the Big Brother live feeds, which show what’s happening in the house days before they air on TV, which means everything they say is captured.

Big Brother airs on CBS on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but as superfans know almost all spoilers—including who won Head of Household, who the nominees are, and who won the Veto—are revealed on the live feeds. Here’s who got voted out this week.

Big Brother airs on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9 pm ET on CBS.

Who went home in week 14?

Eliminated: Felicia Cannon

Felicia had faced the chopping block a few times before she was evicted in week 14. She told Entertainment Weekly: “I’m not quite sure why they kept nominating me. I think part of it was because everybody talks about the blood on their hands, and once somebody’s already been on the block, they’re like, ‘Well, that person already has been on the block, so they can’t be mad at everybody, and in the end they’re going to have to pick somebody anyway. So as long as we don’t have to put too many other people on the block and have everybody mad, then we’re okay’.”

Who went home in week 13?

Evicted: Cirie Fields

Cirie had a great run for Big Brother 25, but when it all led down to week 13, she got evicted. In a vote led by Matt, Jag and Bowie Jane saw that Cirie was a bigger threat. “I am so flabbergasted,” the Survivor alum admitted in her exit interview. “I expected to be gone week one. Big Brother is not Survivor, so I’m honored to have played this game. Triple honored to be here on Day 93?! A ‘Survivor’ cross-over? Not too shabby in my eyes, Julie.”

Who went home in week 12?

Evicted: Blue Kim and America Lopez

Blue Kim was evicted from the Big Brother house in week 12 with four votes. Then, in a shocking double eviction, America Lopez was the second to go. America survived the first vote of the night against Blue, but she wasn’t so lucky after Bowie won Head of the Household and then Matt won the veto.

Who went home in week 11?

Evicted: Cory Wurtenberger

Cory Wurtenberger went home on week 11 of Big Brother 25. Cory and America Lopez were this season’s showmance and it all came down to the two of them. Jag Bains was named HoH in secret after  having won the invisible HoH competition and also the physical endurance part of the Veto Challenge, and proceeded to pit the two against each other. Cory was voted out unanimously in a 5-0 vote against America.

Who went home in week 10?

Evicted: Cameron Hardin

Cameron had quite the deja vu in Week 10 of Big Brother 25. In a vote of 6-0, Cameron got the boot again from the Big Brother House. If you recall three weeks ago, Cameron and Jared were in a double elimination but the one who got the final elimination was Jared. Cameron is now the first official jury member of the season and he took the elimination like a champ.

Who went home in week 9?

Evicted: Mecole Hayes

Mecole Hayes was evicted on week 9 in a 7-0 vote. Fans noticed that Mecole did not hug Cory when she went out the door and that she dropped the biggest bombshell: Cory, America and Bowie have been in an alliance together. She said to the houseguests, “They’re planning to target you, you and you, and they’re gonna try to use you to do they’re bidding.”

As to why she said that, she explained to Entertainment Weekly, that she did that to “just throw a little bomb over my shoulder. America was always saying, “Mimi doesn’t talk game to me. She doesn’t talk game to me.” Everyone is saying that they didn’t know where I stood. And I also don’t think that they know where each other stand either. It was just a convenient characterization, so I figured that I’d make them scramble a little bit before I walked out the door.”

Who went home in week 8?

Evicted: Jared Fields

Jared Fields went home in Week 8. The 25-year-old exterminator lost the Resurrection Rumble, and Cameron successfully navigated the Do or Die competition, meaning that he would ultimately be evicted. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he still wants to be friends with everyone in the house. “While you’re in that house, it’s very hard to separate gaming and personal. And as much as I said this whole season that I wanted to, it was a hard task for me to do on a daily basis. But now that I’m finally out, I’m released from the pressure cooker of a house. I love absolutely every soul in that house and I can’t wait to see them, honestly.”

Who went home in week 7?

Evicted: Cameron Hardin & Jared Fields

Week 7 was a double eviction week.  Cameron Hardin was indeed booted in a 8-0 vote, and Jared Fields was voted out in a 6-1 vote. But plot twist! Julie Chen Moonves brought the two back into the house where they’ll be living as Zombies for one week. The one who wins the competition will be resurrected in the house the following week. It’s also Scary Week, meaning there will be no Head of Household, no nominees and no Power of Veto competition.

Who went home in week 6?

Evicted: Izzy Gleicher

Izzy became the sixth houseguest to exit the Big Brother house after being evicted by a vote of 8-1. The flutist from New York City was ousted on Day 44 over Felicia Cannon.

“My biggest mistake was ever thinking that me and Cory were close,” Izzy told host Julie Chen Moonves in her exit interview. “I was skeptical of Cory the whole time and my closest allies, Cirie and Jared, were also skeptical. He was saying all the right things and he was pretty believable and I thought we built a strong friendship. Maybe that clouded some of my judgement. He was the person that I talked to the most about the game away from Cirie and Jared and it felt like it was important for me to have that given Cirie and Jared’s relationship.”

Who went home in week 5?

Evicted: Red Utely

Red Utley was evicted from the Big Brother 25 house in a split vote of 8-2—it was the first blindside of the season. He trusted Jared Fields, who told him that his biggest ally, Cameron Hardin, had turned on him.

But he was still surprised by the eviction. Utely told Entertainment Weekly that: “Honestly, I wasn’t very confident at all. I’d heard some murmurs around the house, I’d seen some weird behavior. You always get that little bit of an inclination that something might be going on, but I did have a lot of people telling me that I was good. So I’d say I was about 60–40: 60 that I’d stay, 40 that I’d leave. So it was a bit of surprise.”

Who was sent home in week 4?

Evicted: Jag (but saved, so no-one!)

In a shock elimination show, Jag was evicted unanimously but Matt chose to use the BB Power of Invincibility to save him. So Jag is safe for now.

Evicted: Hisam

After feeling pretty confident in his place in the house, Hisam was eliminated from the Big Brother house in week 3.

Hisam was backdoored and blindsided by fellow Professor Felicia Cannon, and his last-ditch efforts to make amends fell on deaf ears. “That’s devastating news to find out, right? You have to trust people in this game, and it’s hard for that trust to be violated,” he told Entertainment Weekly after being voted out 11-0 on August 24. “I think the truth of the matter is they were looking for a reason to evict me. I think that they basically found that in things that I said, and used that as a catalyst to move forward in order to justify the action. You have to have enough evidence to sway people. And I think that people use that to do so.”

He explained about turning on Reilly: “As the Head of Household, I knew that Reilly was coming after me. I knew that she had planned on evicting me and Izzy. I didn’t really think that there was much to talk about because it seemed like that was the obvious plan,” he said. “So I wasn’t necessarily expecting a ton of collaboration on that and was a little bit surprised, primarily because I thought the plan for all of us in order to keep our games safe was to go after Reilly.”

Who was sent home in week 2?

Evicted: Reilly

Reilly Smedley was the second (well, technically third) housemate to leave the competition, after being awarded Head of Household. She’d formed an early alliance called the Handful, but after Hisam found out she was targeting him, she was unanimously voted out.

She told Entertainment Weekly: “I sadly am houseguest number two to be evicted. I definitely think I played really hard right off the bat and that ended up biting me in the butt. So I am here,” she said. “I am such a competitor. I’ve been competitive my whole life, especially with myself. So it’s definitely a hard pill to swallow not making it as far as I had imagined I would. But I would do it again in a heartbeat. This has changed my life, and I’m so thankful for the experience.”

Evicted: Luke and Kirsten

In the early hours of Wednesday, August 9, Luke was chatting with contestants Jared, Cory, and Hisam when he said, “We were in the G’s room, n—.” Realizing his mistake immediately, Luke put his hand over his mouth and said “I’m sorry” before one of the other men—we’re not sure who—said, “Dude”.

Fields, a Black housemate, later discussed how the word can sometimes make white people more upset than himself. “I don’t give a f—k,” he told Luke. “Yeah, right, I should’ve made you feel uncomfortable real quick, like, ‘Whoa, bro, what you just say?’” Luke responded: “I should’ve been lying face down on the floor with you standing over me or something. Well, I’m in trouble now. I’ve been in worse trouble.”

Indeed, in a statement provided to TVLine, CBS announced that Luke’s time in the Big Brother house had been terminated immediately. “Luke violated the Big Brother code of conduct and there is zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur,” reads a statement from CBS and Big Brother’s producers. “He has been removed from the house. His departure will be addressed in Thursday night’s show.”

Kirsten was also eliminated from the house in week 1. She explained to Entertainment Weekly that, “I think my first misstep was the first competition with the butt-kicker thing. I wanted to do the puzzle. I looked at the one where we’re connecting the cables and I’m like, ‘Okay, I do some rows in the gym. Let me get on this row type of thing.’ I also didn’t want to stand around and be in the way, so I just kind of went to the closest thing to me, which was the butt-kicker. And that did not fare me well. I’m going to attribute my loss there to user error. I kept getting stuck on the machine, so that was my first error.”
