Cameron Hardin came through in the clutch on Thursday’s episode, winning Head of Household just moments after his closest ally, Red Utley, was evicted under the reign of Jared Fields. With his back against the wall and seeming more and more like the house outcast, Cam will have to decide if he wants to stick it out with his Legend 25 alliance or aim the target at one of his own.

Keep refreshing/reloading this “Big Brother 25” live blog for the most recent updates.

8:45 p.m. — “Previously on ‘Big Brother’!” In the 16th episode, Jag and Red sat on the block with the house divided under the HOH reign of Jared. The house flipped back and forth throughout the week, ultimately deciding to blindside Red by a vote of 8-2 (just Cam and Bowie Jane were left in the dark). In a ridiculous memory challenge called “Name That Toot,” the houseguests competed to become the new HOH by memorizing the order and colors of farts. Ultimately Cam prevailed over Izzy, taking control of the house and proving he’s more than just a physical threat. Will he stick with his alliance and try to evict Jag again? Or will Cam set his eyes on a new target and make a big move? Due to football we’re starting 45 minutes late, but let’s go!

8:50 p.m. — We pick up immediately after Cam’s HOH win, which none of the houseguests look happy about. Cam reveals he’s “beyond pissed” that Red went home and he hopes everyone in the house is nervous now that he’s in control. Bowie was also blindsided by the vote, calling people “weak and spineless.” She’s the only one happy Cam won this HOH. Jag was Cam’s target the last time he won HOH and Jared just nominated him last week, so they both have reason to be nervous.

8:56 p.m. — Bowie confronts Felicia, Izzy and Cirie for leaving her out of the vote. She says she would like to have known who they were voting for and feels out of the loop. Cirie says they’re still here for her, but Bowie won’t believe them. Felicia shoots it straight. She says, “Stop your cryin.’ Put your big people pants on and play the game.” Cirie says they weren’t being dishonest, they just didn’t share everything all the time. Bowie is still crying and says, “I don’t even care about the game.” Izzy and Felicia tell Bowie that she will now be the eyes and ears for the group as the only one Cam trusts. In the diary room Bowie calls it all BS and she’s not buying it.

9:00 p.m. — Matt has lost his trust in Felicia after she kicked him out of the room earlier when she was talking to Bowie. Jag is trying to figure out his options to safe in the game. Next, Cirie tells Cam all the intel she got on him from Red. Cam’s mind is blown. Cirie spins it, saying Red was going after him. Cam says, “I guess we’re going Jag and Blue round two.” In the diary room, Cam says he’s not buying what Cirie is selling. He pledges to “burn this sucker to the ground.”

9:07 p.m. — The Humiliverse has something in store for the houseguests. All week the houseguests will endure various humiliations. Every time they enter the bathroom stall they must use the blow horn to announce to the house they are going. There’s also a stink-o-meter in the bathroom, which will also be announced to the house. If anyone hits a 10 everyone must wear gas masks until the stench is gone. Blue is the first stinky houseguest to hit a 10, followed by Jag. The worst is Cirie, who hit a 10 as everyone was asleep. An alarm wakes everyone up to put on the gas masks.

9:09 p.m. — Cam and Bowie catch up, saying they can’t believe anything their own alliance says. Legend 25 is dead. Cam says he’s afraid to give Bowie his thoughts because he wants her to be able to plead the fifth. She’s a pure-hearted person and he has chaos in mind.

9:15 p.m. — Izzy and Jag are playing pool. He shares some personal stories about his immigrant parents and what it was like growing up in the Sikh religion. He describes himself as a “peaceful warrior” who stands up for what’s right in every situation. He’s frequently stereotyped for wearing the turban.

9:18 p.m. — Felicia and Jared are by the pool. Felicia wants to align herself closer to Jared, so she proposes a final two with him. She tells him about her final two deal with Cirie, and says she’d prefer it to be with him instead. He immediately goes to Cirie and tells her everything. Cirie says this isn’t the first time Felicia has been a “hot mess.” Next they show a clip of Felicia asking Red if he was going to take a cupcake home with him prior to his eviction. Whoopsie! Later, Cirie goes to Matt and tells him Felicia is losing her mind. She can’t afford to clean up Felicia’s mess.

9:25 p.m. — Felicia is yelling/singing in her sleep. She wakes up everyone in the room, but it’s a pretty funny moment. Later, Blue sits down with Cam. She tells him she’s down to do whatever he wants. She asks who he plans to put on the block. Cam says Blue and Jag are going on the block again. Blue brings on the fake tears. Cam tells her that if he lays all his cards out now the whole house will be in an uproar. He wants her to go downstairs and act like she hates him.

9:27 p.m. — It’s Jag’s turn to talk to Cam. Jag says it’s a waste of their time to go after each other. Cam responds, “I really want to put you on the block right next to Blue. But I think you’re right that it wouldn’t benefit us.” He asks for absolute safety from Jag next week if Jag stays off the block. Jag doesn’t trust Cam, but he makes the deal. What is Cam up to?

9:35 p.m. — Matt and Jag’s bromance has hit the next level. They have a date planned on the rooftop bar tonight. They’re fake texting each other with their mic packs. I think these houseguests are starting to go a little batty, but it’s fun to watch them flirt. It couldn’t get worse than the Cory/America or Jared/Blue showmances we’ve been subjected to so far this summer. Meanwhile, Cam continues to tell everyone in the house that Jag and Blue will be going on the block. He says it will be an easy week and Jag will go home. In the diary room he tells viewers at home that he’s not telling the truth, but everyone in the house believes him.

9:45 p.m. — It’s time for the nomination ceremony. Cam prepares his serious speech before being interrupted by the humiliverse. He takes out nine pies from the pantry. He will smash a pie in the face of every houseguest who is safe. One by one he pies the houseguests until just Izzy and Felicia are left. There’s the shock and awe he was going for! He states he has nominated Izzy and Felicia because they’ve had a “pretty comfortable ride.” They turned on two male alliance members who are no longer in the game and he doesn’t want to be part of that pattern. Izzy is furious. The whole house is shocked. Cam pledges to take down Cirie, Izzy and Felicia. No matter who you like, at least someone is shaking things up!
