Rick Devens won a puzzle-based Head of Household competition on Big Brother 28, a victory the show and posts say shifted the house dynamics. Multiple posts praised Devens's puzzle ability, with one saying "Rick Devens really is fucking good at puzzles." A separate post claimed the challenge was "set up for Rick Devens." Other posts highlighted interpersonal fallout, including one asserting "Julie HATES Rick Devens" and another noting James Gunn likes him. The win appears to strengthen Devens's position in the game and reshuffle alliances and voting calculations among housemates.
