BIG Brother fans are in tears over the ‘most likable player’ in the show’s history, Will, being sent home in a ‘painful’ eviction.
The fan-favorite was voted out after failing the physically grueling Blockbuster Challenge, which appeared to take a toll on the contestant as he limped out with a knee brace.
On Thursday’s episode, challenge beast Keanu Soto, strategist Ashley Hollis, and fan-favorite Clifton ‘Will’ Williams were on the chopping block to become the second member of the jury.
The blockbuster challenge for this week was one of the show’s signature games, Feeling Knotty.
Each player was tied around the waist to a rope that was wrapped and twisted around a cage.
The Houseguests have to climb and maneuver their way through the twisted setup in order to free themselves from being tied to the structure so they can run and hit the buzzer.
All three players tried their best to take the lead but it was Keanu, who has been a huge physical threat all season, who began to pull away from the competition.
During one point in the challenge, Will thought he had enough rope to make it to his podium to hit the buzzer but he was far short.
Seconds later, Keanu attempted to race to the buzzer and successfully got enough rope slack to make it to the podium.
He appeared relieved after having won another challenge – while Ashley was visibly disappointed and Will dropped to the floor in fatigue and frustration.
With Keanu successfully taking himself off the chopping block, the remaining season 27 Houseguests were forced to choose between close allies Will and Ashley to be evicted.
When the trio returned from the competition, Will appeared to be in pain as he limped back into the Big Brother living room with a knee brace on to rejoin the remaining contestants.
It’s unclear if Will had an injury with his knee prior to the challenge and the physicality of it made it worse, but he was grimacing in pain when he returned to the couch to take off the brace.
Keanu was first to vote and chose Will, while Ava was next and cast her eviction slip to Ashley.
Next up, Morgan was given the difficult task of choosing between two of her closest allies and went for Will.
Kelley, not being aligned with either player, had gone with Ashley while Vince, who was also close to both of the chopping block contestants, went for Will.
In a vote of 3-2, Will was unfortunately the person who was sent home.
The Big Brother contestant will be the second member of the jury following show alum Rachel Reilly’s extremely controversial surprise elimination this week.
His exit was extremely emotional – as both Will and the remainder of the players broke down in tears saying ‘goodbye’ to the lovable father figure.
