Big Brother Season 28 saw its ninth houseguest evicted this week, marking the start of the jury phase of the CBS reality competition. La Trice Verrett was voted out by a 4-2 margin during Thursday's live episode hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, becoming the first jury member and earning a vote in the eventual finale.

The eviction followed a chaotic run of events: Drew Campbell won Head of Household after previously facing the block himself, then nominated La Trice Verrett, Taylor Brown and Yash Patel for eviction. Yash won the Power of Veto and saved himself, prompting Survivor alumnus Rick Devens to volunteer as the replacement nominee. Devens then won the BB Block Buster competition to secure his own safety, leaving La Trice and Taylor to face the house vote, which La Trice lost 4-2.
