Warning! Spoilers for the Wednesday, August 12 episode of Big Brother below!
The fans have waited 12 years to see Keesha Smith back in the Big Brother 22: All-Stars house, and they now think that she has unfairly lost the Power of Veto competition through no fault of her own. Keesha first captured the hearts of BB fans when she competed on Big Brother 10. After fighting her way to the Final 4, Keesha was blindsided by her very best friend in the house, Memphis, who had a secret pact with Dan to take him to the Final 2.
After so much anticipation about the casting of Keesha on BB22, things haven't been going as well as planned thus far. As the Head of Household for the week, Cody nominated Keesha and Kevin for eviction. With that being said, Keesha still had the chance to win the Power of Veto competition, which was filmed on Sunday, August 9. However, Enzo is rumored to have won the competition. He allegedly decided not to veto anyone's nominations during the POV ceremony.
Now, Big Brother 22 fans have created a Change.org petition to urge CBS to redo the comp. With a goal of collecting 2,500 signatures, the petition has already been signed by over 2,100 people. On Saturday, the Power of Veto competition was played by HOH Cody, nominees Keesha and Kevin, and houseguests Enzo, Ian, and Tyler. The competition is rumored to be a "stacking competition" where the players had to stack up pieces of fruit. According to the petition created by fans, Daniele Donato mentioned in the live feeds that Enzo's stack was dropped at some point during the competition. During the fall, Enzo's stack allegedly knocked over Keesha's stack, making her start over through no fault of her own.
If the live feeds speculation turns out to be true, it seems like Keesha had a fair shot at winning the first-ever POV on BB22. However, she had to start everything over due to an accident from Enzo, who ultimately won the competition. While it is unlikely that CBS will redo a competition in reaction to a Change.org petition, international editions of Big Brother have regularly addressed controversies pointed out by fans of the show. Per Globo, the producers of Big Brother Brasil 20 redid a POV competition after the fans pointed out that there was a malfunctioning button for one of the players.
This season of Big Brother 22: All-Stars has barely started, but the controversies are already heating up. Make sure to tune in to this Wednesday's episode on CBS to watch the entire POV competition... and judge for yourself if Keesha was indeed robbed of a win.
Big Brother 22: All-Stars airs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 8pm EST on CBS.
