It's double-eviction night, baby!
With just 10 days left before the "Big Brother" season 27 finale, the houseguests are in for a surprise for tonight's live episode. They're set to play a week's worth of "Big Brother" after the first eviction during the two-hour episode Sept. 18.
And by the end of the night only five houseguests will remain as the season enters its final stages.
The first vote will conclude an emotional week in the "Big Brother" house that began with Zingbot's roasts of the houseguests and has continued with nonstop game play. Then it will be a chaotic hour for the second eviction.
Here's what to know about Thursday's episode with spoilers ahead:
Who gets voted off Big Brother tonight?
Two houseguests will leave the "Big Brother" house tonight.
Heading into the episode, Keanu Soto, Kelley Jorgensen and Lauren Domingue are on the block following Monday's veto ceremony. One of them will join the jury to begin the episode.
Domingue was removed from the block after winning the Blockbuster.
Then, after a 2-2 tie, Head of Household Vince Panero broke the tie and voted out Kelley Jorgensen.
After the first eviction, the houseguests then took part in a Head of Household competition, a nomination ceremony, a Power of Veto competition, POV meeting and the second live vote of the night.
The night ended with Domingue voted out to end the double eviction. Head of Househead Morgan Pope nominated Domingue and Keanu Soto but Soto took himself off the block following his Veto win. Ava Pearl was the replacement nominee but Domingue left on a 2-1 vote.
Who gets evicted from Big Brother tonight?
As far as the first vote, plans appeared in place for Lauren Domingue to go home if she remained on the block after the Blockbuster competition.
Pope and Ashley Hollis, who will be two of four votes, want to make it happen but that wouldn't come to fruition after Domingue won the Blockbuster competition earlier in the episode.
Instead, Kelley Jorgensen was sent packing on the first eviction of the night.
But Domingue would go home later in the evening on the double eviction.
Pope had went into overdrive to make sure Domingue, who had yet to be nominated this season, was the replacement nominee at the veto meeting earlier in the week. And now, Pope saw it was in her best interest to send her to the jury.
Head of Household Vince Panero found himself in the middle. He had Final 2 deals with both Domingue and Pope.
Pope's and Panero's relationship has been front and center this week from the houseguests and from Zingbot. Now, Pope is taking charge of her game to separate Panero from Domingue.
Meanwhile, Panero has struggled to take ownership of his HOH reign.

How long is tonight’s episode of Big Brother?
For the second straight night, "Big Brother" is airing a two-hour episode.
Who won the blockbuster on Big Brother tonight?
Lauren Domingue easily won the Blockbuster, likely throwing a wrench in Pope's and Hollis' plans.
The challenge was between Keanu Soto, Kelley Jorgensen and Domingue.
She's now safe from eviction and the vote is between Soto and Jorgensen.
Host Julie Chen Moonves gave viewers a glimpse at the Blockbuster competition. The competitors must drop their colored ball from a raised perch and land it in a tubed container on the ground. Whoever gets four balls in the tube first wins the competition and is immediately removed from the block and becomes one of the four houseguests who will vote.
It was the final Blockbuster competition of the season.
Keanu Soto and Kelley Jorgensen had been the king and queen of blockbusters this season but Domingue has been no slouch in competitions as she has two HOH wins on her resume.
Who wins the veto this week on Big Brother?
Morgan Pope won her third consecutive veto and then used it to save Ava Pearl from eviction, gaining favor with her as well as making Panero put up a new houseguest as her replacement.
He then nominated one of his closest allies in Lauren Domingue, despite the move going against his best interests. Panero had a Final 2 deal with Domingue but he has been heavily influenced by Pope, his other No. 2. Panero attempt at having deals with so many houseguests is catching up to him.
