Big Brother 28 HOH Targets Jason for Week 3 Backdoor as Homophobia Claims Swirl

Q: How will the secret Diamond Power of Veto impact Kamu's backdoor plot against Jason amid the growing online outrage?

The Diamond Power of Veto could significantly weaken or even overturn Kamu’s backdoor plan against Jason, but only if Rick Devens decides to use it. According to live-feed recaps, Devens secretly holds the six-week power, which allows him to remove a nominee and choose the replacement himself without HOH control. That means if Jason ends up on the block as Kamu intends, Devens would have the ability to pull him down and install someone else. For now, the immediate path still favors Kamu’s plan. Lyric reportedly won the regular veto and is expected to save herself, which would let Kamu name Jason as the replacement nominee. So unless Devens intervenes, the backdoor remains on track and Jason would still need to survive the Block Buster or the vote. What makes the Diamond Power important is its unpredictability. Devens has reportedly told only Dee, so Kamu may not be able to game-plan around it. If Devens sees strategic value in protecting Jason, exposing Kamu, or disrupting alliance control, he can blow up the week at the last moment. If he keeps it secret and unused, Kamu’s target likely stays in danger. The online outrage adds pressure and scrutiny, but there is no verified evidence in the available reporting that production has linked Kamu’s alleged anti-drag comments to the game move itself or that the power will be used because of the backlash. As of now, the Diamond Power is the clearest in-game mechanism that could derail Kamu’s plan, but it depends entirely on Devens.

Week 3 nominations appear set with the current HOH planning a backdoor move against Jason, making him the main target this week.
The targeting is drawing backlash because viewers accuse the HOH of making homophobic remarks about Jason and say CBS should have removed him from the house.
Those complaints center less on the game move itself than on whether Big Brother is allowing alleged discriminatory behavior to continue on air.
