From Oprah Magazine

At the end of a long day, sometimes the best way to feel like you're living your best life is with some comfy PJ's, a glass of wine, and gratuitous reality television. In our series "Not-So-Guilty Pleasures," we remove the "guilt" and break down the latest happenings in your favorite TV indulgences.



Not only has this season of Big Brother 21 shown itself to be incredibly controversial with fan accusations of racism, bullying, animal misconduct, and a breakup, but the game play has been...lacking to say the least.

First dubbed "Gr8tful," and then the "Six Shooters" (and now maybe nothing at all) the majority alliance ruled the house, controlling many of the nominations and eventual evictions. But with this fact becoming the norm, the season up until week 6 lacked strategic game play. So for those fans who decided to skip out on this year's BB elimination episodes, we here at OprahMag.com have created a guide to help you keep track of who has gotten eliminated on Big Brother 21...so far.

Check back here every week for updates as we speed towards the upcoming finale later this month.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.


Week 13: Cliff Hogg

HOH: Nicole Anthony

Vote count: 1-0

In what proved to be a move that cost him the game, in the previous week, Cliff convinced Nicole to stick with their final four deal and evict Tommy instead of Holly. Somehow, Cliff believed Jackson would keep him in the house over his girlfriend. But after winning the Veto, the Nashville server saved Holly, sending the petroleum engineer packing. But Cliff didn't go down without a fight, as he explained to Michie that if he were were to walk out the door, his vote (and possibly other jury members') would not be in favor of Michie.


Week 12: Tommy Bracco

HOH: Jackson Michie

Vote Count: 2-0

After a tense week that had both fans and the houseguests divided over who to evict, Nicole and Cliff ultimately decided to vote out Tommy. But apparently the aftermath of a dramatic house fight led to another week of safety for the Michie/Holly showmance. Fans will get to watch the drama unfold Sunday (spoiler free) after live feed watchers were deprived of the outburst when feed cameras were cut-off unusually early on Thursday.


Week 11: Jessica Milagros...

HOH: Jackson

Vote Count: 4-0

Before Jess and Cliff could even start their goodbye speeches, Julie informed the house that it was Double Eviction Night, with the eventual evictee being the first of two to leave the house that night. Jess was eventually voted out by a unanimous vote, with the majority feeling that Cliff would benefit their game in the long run.

HOH: Nicole

Vote Count: 3-0

Nicole managed to win her first competition of the season during the whirlwind hour, as she won HOH, nominating power couple and real-life BFFs, Christie and Tommy. Cliff then won the Veto, choosing to keep the preschool aide's nominations the same. And after three weeks of avoiding the block, the house finally voted out Christie, the Staten Island boutique owner who'd been disrupting game play and social ties since day one.


Week 10: Nick Maccarone

HOH: Holly

Vote count: 5-0

In a unanimous house vote, Nick was evicted from the Big Brother house—in a move that clearly shocked the 27-year-old. (And made him more-than-a-little bitter). Though Christie has shown herself to be a threat (and annoyance) to the majority of the house, the cast felt Nick's game of playing both sides was more problematic. It may have all come down to the infamous Taco Tuesday fight.


Week 9: Analyse Talavera

HOH: Jackson Michie

Vote count: 5-1

For weeks, Jackson claimed that his target would always be Christie because of the their intense rivalry in the house. But just days before eviction, "Taco Tuesday" blew up the game—a massive public blowup between Christie and Nick. By making it known that Nick was a bigger threat and she would be after him in the coming weeks, the boutique owner was able to sway Michie (and the rest of the house), blindsiding her BFF in the game, Analyse.


Week 8: Kathryn Dunn

HOH: Tommy

Vote count: 6-1

With a near unanimous decision (Jess was the single vote for her) Kat became the second member of the BB21 jury. With her quirky charm, the digital marketing executive became a fan favorite this season, so her presence will definitely be missed amongst fans.

However, Kat's exit was a little bitter, as she clearly harbored ill feeling towards certain players in the house—and it came out in her eviction speech: "Congratulations everyone on their immunity going into next week. You know Cliff is going to march right up there and make more deals. You know that Nick is going to be right there with him. Conspire away, bi*ches."

And with that one last mention of her signature catch phrase, Kat was out.


Week 7: Jack Matthews

HOH: Jessica

Vote count: 6-2

The night finally marked an end to Jack's controversial run on Big Brother. After gaining the ire of fans for his often racist and misogynistic comments in the house, a petition was even created to have him expelled from the show. And once he was officially out the house, to the utter delight of Twitter, host Julie Chen didn't take it easy on Jack, grilling him on the mean-spirited comments he directed towards houseguests like Kemi, Bella, and Jess.

Let's just say, it was an interesting eviction night.


Week 6: Sam Smith

HOH: Holly

Vote Count: 9-0

Despite chaos in the house—specifically amongst the "Six Shooters" alliance—that almost successfully flipped the house vote, the truck driver was still unanimously voted out by his fellow houseguests.


Week 5: Isabella Wang

HOH: Cliff

Vote Count: 8-2

Though Jack and Jackson (a.k.a Michie) were Cliff's initial targets, Michie ended up winning POV. Bella's former "Gr8tful" alliance members were then able to convince Cliff to re-nominate Bella, as she'd fallen out with the group after it was discovered that she was relaying secret information to both sides of the house. The only people who voted for the public health analyst to remain in the game were her showmance partner, Nick, and best friend Sam.


Week 4: David, Ovi, and Kemi (officially)

HOH: Nick

Vote count: 6-4

This week's eviction was a little complicated, as the Camp Comeback twist was officially in play. In a close-call, the majority of the house voted for Cliff to be evicted because of "Gr8tful's" wishes. However, this meant that Cliff became the fourth banished houseguest along with David, Ovi, and Kemi.

The four then had to compete in a competition that would earn only one of them a spot back in the house. And lo and behold, after just being voted out minutes before, Cliff won and earned a spot back in the game.

This meant that David, Kemi, and Ovi's summer of Big Brother was officially over. All were fan favorites, with many fans upset that three people of color were eliminated from the show at once.


Week 3: Kemi Fakunle

HOH: Jack Matthews

Vote Count: 10-1

From day one, Kemi was on the outs with the majority alliance of the house "Gr8tful," and seen as a definite target. But aside from game, many of the cast members made unfounded and controversial comments against the marketing strategist, specifically Jack, with many fans seeing his words as racist.

Since Kemi was his clear target from the beginning, Jack successfully had her eliminated from the game and sent to Camp Comeback in a nearly unanimous vote. Jackson Michie decided to throw out a hinky vote to stir-up drama.


Week 2: Ovi Kabir

HOH: Christie

Vote Count: 12-0

After Sam used the Veto on Cliff, Christie put up Ovi, initially thinking that despite the fact that she told him they were in a fake five-person alliance, putting him up would keep her safe with other houseguests—particularly the "Gr8teful" members of her actual eight-person alliance. But after Ovi told Jack and Michie that he held the Nightmare Power (it would have allowed him to switch up the eviction nominees), the cards turns against him, and he was evicted.

But after teasing audiences by saying the first evictee was "not going anywhere," host Julie Chen shocked us all and immediately announced, "Camp Comeback is now open! Everyone, back to the living room!"

Chen went on to describe an entirely new twist called Camp Comeback. For the first time ever, the first four evicted houseguests wouldn't technically be kicked out of the game as usual. Instead, they'd live in a separate cabin within the house. And while they are not allowed to participate in ceremonies, competitions, or voting, they will participate in the social game. After there are four evictees in Camp Comeback, one of them would return to the main Big Brother house.

David immediately returned, too, making him and Ovi the first houseguests living in Camp Comeback.


Week 1: David Alexander

Camp Director: Jackson Michie

With a brand new twist, photographer David Alexander was eliminated from the game on the second episode after losing the "BB Wilderness" competition. After Michie was voted Camp Director by the majority of the house, he was tasked with sending four house guests into a competition that would see one of them leave the game—"for now" as host a Julie Chen pointed out.

After Cliff, Jessica, and Kemi all successfully completed the task, it was David who got the short-end of the stick, as he was sent out the door, which sparked controversy amongst viewers.
