‘Big Brother 25’ episode 6 recap: Did the Veto save Cameron or Reilly on August 16? [UPDATING LIVE BLOG]

Heading into Wednesday’s Veto episode of “Big Brother 25,” Head of Household Hisam Goueli of The Professors alliance had just nominated Cameron Hardin and Reilly Smedley for eviction. At the nominations ceremony, the HOH declared that he was “playing a straight-forward game of loyalty and purpose,” and he was gunning for Reilly because she had thrown Hisam’s name out there the previous week. But with the Power of Veto competition on the line, both Cameron and Reilly had the chance of saving themselves from eviction. So how’d it all play out?

8:00 p.m. – “Previously on ‘Big Brother’!” In the fifth episode, Hisam won the Scary-verse-themed Head of Household competition, while Jared came in second place and was stuck in the nether region for the next day. Jared then learned he had the power to name someone to take his place in the nether region, and that person would be immune from eviction for the week; he chose Jag. Hisam told Cameron and Reilly that he was playing an honest game and he’d be nominating them for eviction, and he stuck to his word. Will tonight’s Veto save either of them from the block?
