Wondering what happened on "Big Brother" tonight? Sunday's episode ended with a cliffhanger during the first round of the Final Head of Household competition and featured Melody Morris' arrival at jury house, where a confrontation with Angela Murray quickly took center stage before the Season 28 finale.
The final regular episode before the "Big Brother 28" finale included the fallout from Dee Valladares' eviction, the start of the season-ending Final HOH competition and jury house drama involving Melody and Angela. CBS left viewers waiting for the outcome of Part 1, though live-feed spoilers later revealed the winner.
Here's what happened on "Big Brother" tonight, who won Part 1 of the Final HOH competition, what went down at jury house and what it means heading into finale week.
Who won Part 1 of the Final Head of Household competition?
Sunday's episode ended before CBS revealed the winner of the first round of the Final Head of Household competition.
The Final 3 houseguests competed in a colonial-era endurance challenge called "Shock & Roll," which featured a 1752 Benjamin Franklin theme. Drew Campbell, Taylor Brown and Rick Devens balanced on moving logs while holding kite poles as rain poured down on them.
Although the episode left viewers waiting for the result, live-feed spoilers later revealed Taylor Brown won Part 1 of the Final HOH competition and secured a spot in Part 3. Readers can find our spoiler story on the Part 1 winner here.

Why was Taylor's Part 1 win important?
Taylor Brown's win in Part 1 of the Final Head of Household competition secured her spot in Part 3 and guaranteed she will compete for the season's final HOH title.
The win was especially significant because it came shortly after Drew Campbell chose to evict Dee Valladares and advance to the Final 3 with Taylor and Rick Devens. Sunday's result ensures Taylor remains one competition away from controlling the season's final eviction and choosing who joins her in the Final 2.
Taylor's victory also means Drew and Devens must face off in Part 2 for the remaining spot in the final round of the competition.
What happened on 'Big Brother' tonight?
Sunday's episode ended with a cliffhanger as the Final 3 houseguests competed in the first round of the Final Head of Household competition ahead of the "Big Brother 28" finale.
The episode featured the traditional Final 3 celebration, with Drew Campbell, Taylor Brown and Rick Devens revisiting major alliances, competition wins, strategic moves and memorable moments from throughout the season.
CBS also revisited several fan-favorite moments, including Yash Patel's "Book of Yash" commentary, Mallory Aurichio's "Pipe Queen" segment, Haley Thogmartin's recurring claims that she was having a "horrible week" and a prank in which houseguests hid in Drew's HOH shower before accidentally giving themselves away.
The episode concluded with the start of the Benjamin Franklin-themed "Shock & Roll" endurance competition. Dressed in colonial-era costumes, Drew, Taylor and Devens balanced on moving logs while holding kite poles as rain poured down on them. CBS did not reveal the winner before the episode ended.
What happened at jury house on 'Big Brother' tonight?
The "Big Brother" jury house took center stage Sunday as Melody Morris arrived following her eviction and reunited with the season's previously evicted houseguests: Yash Patel, LaTrice "Lala" Verrett, Angela Murray and Barrett Pfeiffer.
After discussing the state of the game and the remaining Final 3 houseguests, the conversation turned to Melody's strategy and how her game would ultimately be remembered by fellow jurors.

Why were Melody Morris and Angela Murray fighting?
Melody Morris and Angela Murray clashed at the jury house after fellow jurors questioned Melody about her strategy and overall impact on the game.
The discussion started when LaTrice "Lala" Verrett asked Melody to explain her strategy. Angela later followed up by asking what Melody believed her game strategy actually was. Melody responded that she had played a strong social game.
Angela disagreed, arguing that Melody had been more of a "coaster" than an active strategist. The remark sparked a heated exchange between the two women as they defended their respective games and debated Melody's role in the season.
Who won Part 2 of Final HOH? Did CBS reveal the Part 2 Final HOH winner?
No. Sunday's episode did not reveal the winner of Part 2 of the Final Head of Household competition.
Instead, CBS focused on the Final 3's look back at the season, Melody Morris' arrival at jury house and the opening stages of the Final Head of Household competition ahead of the "Big Brother 28" finale.
However, live-feed spoilers have already revealed the result. Rick Devens won Part 2 of the Final Head of Household competition and will face Taylor Brown in Part 3 during Thursday's live finale.

The winner of Part 3 will become the season's final Head of Household, choose who joins them in the Final 2 and cast the final eviction vote before the jury crowns the "Big Brother 28" winner.
