'Big Brother' evicts Zach Rance from the house and allows Nicole Franzel to re-enter the game

Big Brother evicted Zach Rance and allowed Nicole Franzel to re-enter the house during Thursday night's 26th broadcast of the show's sixteenth season on CBS.


Zach Rance, a 23-year-old recent college graduate from Palm Beach, FL, was evicted from the Big Brother house instead of Cody Calafiore, a 23-year-old sales account executive from Hackensack, NJ, who currently resides in Howell, NJ, via a unanimous 5-0 vote.

Big Brother's 26th episode began on Day 63 with Head of Household, Frankie Grande, fearing that Zach was going to try to turn everyone against each other even worse than he had before. Donny Thompson told Zach he had his back while Frankie told him he needed to sit on the chopping block and just smile to prove his loyalty.

Frankie explained to Zach that if he had been willing to throw the "Battle of the Block" competition for his "Detonators" alliance, he wouldn't have been nominated for eviction.

Donny then talked to Christine Brecht about how Frankie, Cody, Caleb Reynolds, and Derrick Levasseur were all working together. Donny suggested if they voted for Cody, they could be responsible for breaking down the alliance of guys. Christine worried that Derrick and Cody seemed closer with Victoria Rafaeli instead of her, while Frankie and Caleb were also tight.


In a last-ditch effort, Zach tried to convince Frankie to keep him. Zach said if he became HoH next, he'd definitely keep Frankie safe as long as he didn't vote to evict him. Zach acknowledged that Cody also had no enemies in the house and would therefore have a great shot to win the game.

Before voting commenced, Big Brother host Julie Chen announced the double HoH twist was over, which meant the "Battle of the Block" competitions were over as well.

After Zach got evicted from the Big Brother house, he competed against fellow evictees Nicole, Jocasta Odom and Hayden Voss for a chance to get back in the game and resume competing for the $500,000 grand prize. Nicole ended up winning the challenge dubbed "BB Boxing."
