Ten contestants entered the new Atlanta house over the course of opening day. Bam Margera replaced Sam Hyde on-site, laying out four house rules and pulling each fish aside for a one-on-one introduction. Victoria arrived first with a contraband vape and kratom; Jet and Ben rummaged her bags before she made it to the dorm. Bingo and Bongo arrived together as a single paired contestant.

Victoria's first-night meltdown
After losing her vape and kratom and getting dogpiled by chat, Victoria spiraled into a long bathroom barricade, refused dinner, and slept in confessional.
Bam's solo introductions
Bam pulled each fish aside for a one-on-one introduction; James Drake's Alaska mountain story flagged him as the cast's professional actor.
Bingo and Bongo win the detective job
The Twins were assigned the season's first investigative job. Bongo misissued a $60 ticket past the limit, accused Landon by mistake, and then correctly nailed Victoria as the pokey-stick and vape thief.
Day 1
Ice Counting: first challenge
The season's first challenge sent each fish to scoop ice into a bucket and count the cubes. Landon won $30; Victoria took $20 for second. Bam threw the rest of the money on the floor for a free-for-all.

Day 4
Plant Care opens: four-day sapling challenge
Bam unlocked the Jungle Room and gave each fish a sapling to babysit for four days. Leaf counts on Day 7 would determine elimination immunity. The challenge framed the dorm-versus-jungle-room split that defined the first week.

Bashir's plant kamikaze
Bashir launched a sustained attack on the plants, destroying his own sapling and Anissa's after a manipulated three-way pact with JD and Landon collapsed.
Police welfare check
Police entered the house for an unannounced welfare check, briefly interrupting Day 4 challenges before clearing.
Head snips Victoria's leaves
While Jet and Ben distracted Victoria with kratom advice, Head clipped leaves off her plant on his secret-mission job.
Landon's trash-bag job
Landon's parallel secret mission required him to dump a full trash bag into another contestant's luggage; Head discovered his own bag stuffed with garbage hours later.
Day 5
Gender war: dorm versus jungle room
The boys' dorm and the girls' jungle room moved into open conflict over plant access. Bashir doubled down on sabotage; Anissa retaliated with tuna on his belongings. Victoria's bombing-run meltdown peaked overnight.

Victoria's bombing-run meltdown peaks
Victoria ran a multi-night bombing campaign on the boys' dorm and danced a fan-prompted kratom-mog routine on TTS in confessional.
Day 7
Bashir eliminated and returns the same night
Emma used her bullet to eliminate Bashir, then fan revolt and a Victoria-Head-Bezo-shaped roster gap prompted production to return Bashir to the house as a full contestant hours later.
Victoria's piss-cup farewell
Victoria self-eliminated with one final piss-cup bombing run on the boys' dorm, splashing Landon and JD on her way out.
