On Sunday, August 11, 2024, when the show didn't air as planned. CBS's evening shows delayed the episode, originally scheduled to air at 9 pm ET, due to the PGA Tour golf event running longer than expected.
Following Thursday's eviction episode of Kenney Kelley by a vote of 10-1 over Quinn Martin, viewers were waiting to see who would become the next Head of Household; this shift in delay made them wait for the episode. But they managed to catch the delayed episode and continue watching the drama inside the house.
