Big Brother Season 28 Week 3: Power Rankings, Evictions & What’s Next
Welcome to your beginner-friendly guide to Big Brother Season 28, Week 3! Whether you’re new to the show or just need a quick catch-up, this article breaks down everything that happened, who’s up, who’s down, and what’s coming next—all in simple terms.
Week 3 Power Rankings (After Episode 12)
Here’s how every remaining houseguest stacks up right now. The number in parentheses shows how many spots they moved up (+) or down (-) since last week.
| Rank | Houseguest | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Devens | +3 |
| 2 | Dee | +4 |
| 3 | Lyric | – |
| 4 | Kamu | -2 |
| 5 | Angela | – |
| 6 | Mallory | +3 |
| 7 | Haley | +1 |
| 8 | Yash | +6 |
| 9 | Taylor | +1 |
| 10 | Melody | +2 |
| 11 | Drew | -10 |
| 12 | Barrett | -5 |
| 13 | LaTrice | -2 |
| 14 | Chuk | +1 |
Eliminated This Week: Jason (evicted 12–0 on Thursday)
Notable Risers: Who’s Climbing?
Devens (+3) – The Quiet Mastermind
- Why he’s #1: Devens (Rick Devens, a Survivor legend) is playing a brilliant social game. He smoothed things over with Drew and Barrett this week, convincing them to vote against their own ally Mallory—without making them mad.
- Secret Weapon: He won the Diamond Power of Veto (a super-rare power that lets him save someone after nominations). Even Angela knows he has it—and trusts him anyway.
- Bottom Line: He’s in the majority alliance (“The Toolshed”), has a safety net, and just lost a rival (Jason). Uncle Jeff (Probst) would be proud.
Mallory (+3) – The Comp Beast
- The Good: She’s won two Veto competitions in a row (Week 1 and this week’s “BB Blockbuster”). If anyone can fight back physically, it’s her.
- The Bad: Being a comp threat puts a huge target on her back. The Toolshed will likely nominate her every week.
- Social Game: Still weak. She tried to flip Barrett, but he folded under pressure from Devens.
- Outlook: She’s surviving on wins, but she needs allies fast.
Yash (+6) – From “NPC” to Player
- What Changed: Yash and Chuk were basically background characters (“NPCs”)—just hanging out. This week, Yash started bonding with the women and joined the “Werewolves” alliance (with Devens, Dee, Kamu).
- Why It Matters: He’s at the bottom of that alliance, but as Drew and Barrett sink, Yash could rise into a core spot.
- Contrast: Chuk is still floating, annoying even his own allies by refusing to make moves.
Notable Fallers: Who’s in Trouble?
Drew (-10) – From King to Target
- Last Week: #1 in power rankings.
- This Week: His own alliance (Toolshed) is turning on him. Angela is paranoid, Dee and Devens are listening, and even Devens—Drew’s biggest supporter—is now openly talking about backdooring him.
- Big Mistake: Drew and Barrett begged Devens to keep Mallory over LaTrice. Devens said no, and they still agreed to vote out Mallory—hurting their own game.
- Reality Check: Drew is at the bottom of the Toolshed totem pole. If he doesn’t flip sides now, he’s gone.
Barrett (-5) – The Follower
- Same Story as Drew: He started the week saying he had to save Mallory for his game. By the end, he’d talked himself into voting her out.
- Wake-Up Call: He’s admitted he’s unhappy in the Toolshed (was last to hear about the Rome backdoor plan) and likes Mallory’s side better. Why not switch?
- Verdict: He and Drew are “biding time until the Toolshed discards them.”
LaTrice (-2) – The “House Mom” With No Respect
- Preseason Favorite: Great story, older player, seemed like a natural mom figure.
- Reality: Only close with Taylor. Does all the cooking/cleaning—but gets mocked for it (even by Yash and Chuk).
- This Week: She would’ve beaten Mallory in a vote, but only because the majority wanted to weaken the other side—not because they like her game.
- Outlook: Living on borrowed time.
Who Was Evicted?
Jason was unanimously evicted 12–0 on Thursday’s live show.
He was a key member of the “Resistance” (the minority side), and his loss hurts their comp strength badly.

- Yash woke up and joined the cool kids’ table (Werewolves).
- LaTrice is undervalued but has no path forward yet.
- Next HOH (Sunday) changes everything—whoever wins holds the knife.
