Big Brother 18 recap time hit again on Friday, July 22. This special episode was packed with Big Brother 18 spoilers as the live feeds had been turned off for more than 24 hours, giving a lot of time for action to play out in the BB18 house. This special Battle Back episode took place at 8 p.m. PT/ET on July 22, depicting a series of challenges between the first five evicted houseguests of Summer 2016. The winner of the night would be getting a chance to re-enter the game and possibly win the $500,000 prize.

The first five evicted houseguests this season were Glenn Garcia, Jozea Garcia, Victor Arroyo, Bronte D’Acquisto, and Tiffany Rousso. They would each compete in this special episode for a chance to re-join the other 11 houseguests. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, fresh rumors indicated that the Battle Back actually took place already, so that the winner could compete in the latest Head of Household competition on Thursday night (July 21). It means that there could be spoilers revealed soon that a new HOH has already been crowned.

The July 22 Big Brother 18 episode began with a recap covering how each of the first five evicted houseguests got an early one-on-one interview with host Julie Chen. Then Julie Chen got right to the action, starting with the first round of competing, where Glenn Garcia and Jozea Flores faced off in the Battle Back. They played the berry retrieval challenge, something that was done as a previous BB18 HOH competition this season. Though it was close early on, Jozea would easily defeat Glenn.

In the second round, Jozea Flores faced off against Victor Arroyo in the Battle Back. The Jozea vs. Victor competition was a version of the oversize tennis racket challenge in the backyard. This time, it involved knocking down targets placed on the opposite side of the court. Each houseguest had to knock down five targets to secure the victory, but only had three balls at a time to do it. It led to a lot of running to retrieve balls and an extra-long competition. In the end, Victor won 5-3 to advance.

Continuing with the July 22 Big Brother 18 recap, the third round featured Victor Arroyo going up against Bronte D’Acquisto. The Victor vs. Bronte challenge was more mentally based, with the competitors using their memories to correctly answer six questions about the remaining houseguests. A barrage of photos was shown on monitors to give Victor and Bronte information, but also to confuse them about possible answers. Both former houseguests were terrible at the challenge, missing question after question, but Victor pulled it out in the end.

In the fourth round, Victor Arroyo faced off against the recently evicted Tiffany Rousso. The winner of this competition would get to re-enter the BB18 house. The Victor vs. Tiffany challenge was a puzzle, with the former houseguests attached to a vertical wall that they had to climb to place pieces. Though they both started out slowly, Victor went on a roll and figured out the method to the puzzle. Victor would easily beat Tiffany and win a spot back in the game. Thus ends the summer for Tiffany Rousso.

This was where some Big Brother 18 spoilers occurred for the people still in the game as Victor Arroyo got to walk back in the BB18 house. There were mixed reactions about Victor coming back, but nearly everyone was cheering at the prospect. Once Victor had re-entered, Julie Chen began talking about a new secret room inside the house. Inside that room, which could be discovered using clues around the house, is a new power for the houseguest who can get inside it first.

That brings an end to the July 22 Big Brother 18 recap, but not an end to the information coming out of the BB18 house this weekend. The CBS live feeds will turn back on at roughly 9 p.m. PT / 12 a.m. ET late Friday evening. At that point, many new Big Brother 18 spoilers will come out, including the name of the new HOH and the latest nominees for eviction. The next episode will air on Sunday, July 24, which will showcase a lot of the new information.
