5 times 'Big Brother' contestants were expelled from the game

At the start of the season's fourth episode, the New Jersey native was removed from the house for threatening houseguests "with violence and physical intimidation."

After receiving multiple warnings about his behavior, Sebik held a knife to Krista Stegall's throat shortly after kissing her in the kitchen.

On the show's episode, he's seen asking Stegall, "Would you get mad if I killed you?" before host Julie Chen Moonves recounts the rest of the incident to viewers.

"Justin picked up a large kitchen knife and repeated to an intoxicated Krista, seriously, 'Would you get mad if I killed you?,'" Chen Moonves said.

She added: "He put the knife to Krista's throat as they kissed. He then took the knife away momentarily. With Krista's encouragement, he put the knife back to her neck. They kissed again and then he returned the knife to its drawer."

Chen Moonves said that was "the final straw for the producers." Sebik was called into the diary room where contestants can speak openly with producers or to viewers at home. After a long conversation with the show's psychologist, he was removed from the house.

Weintraub didn't handle the season's X-Factor twist well in which five houseguests' exes surprised the players to join the game.

Shortly after his ex-fiancée, Amanda Craig, entered the house, the Chicago native started verbalizing privately and publicly how he wanted to be back together with Craig.

On the season's fourth episode, after Craig was nominated to leave the house, Weintraub began throwing kitchen chairs around, saying he was "blowing off a little bit of steam," but scaring houseguests.

Weintraub asked for a house meeting with everyone in which he told the contestants how difficult it's been for him to be in the house with Craig.

"In no way shape or form do I want to leave here," Weintraub said. "I'd love to stay and continue on playing the game... I'm truly, truly very sorry to each and every one of you."

After the houseguests told Weintraub this "may be the worst place" for him to be right now, adding that many of them feel uncomfortable in his presence, Weintraub went into the diary room.

The following episode revealed he was expelled from the game out of concern for the houseguests' safety.

Unlike the other houseguests evicted from the house, Simone refused to listen to orders from "Big Brother" producers throughout the season. She repeatedly ignored requests to go to the diary room and put on her mic.

On the season's 18th episode, Simone destroyed the microphone contestants are supposed to wear at all times by chucking it in the hot tub and initially refused to wear a new mic.

The next time she was ordered into the diary room, by the show's executive producer, Allison Grodner, Simone was escorted out of the house.

"It was very clear Chima did not want to follow the rules of the game. Tonight, she made the decision to willfully destroy her microphone, a piece of production equipment, that you all are very much aware is a big violation," Grodner told the contestants. "For this reason, and because of multiple rule violations, she needed to be expelled."

Hantz already wasn't getting along with the "Big Brother" houseguests on his season. After a competition on episode five, Hantz began trash-talking the contestants in the kitchen.

"A bunch of [bleeped word] in this bitch," Hantz says.

When fellow houseguest Joe Arvin said something indiscernible in response to him, Hantz chased Arvin down to the bathroom area, asking Arvin to hit him.

When Hantz shoved into Arvin — Arvin claimed Hantz headbutted him — production asked Hantz to go to the diary room and removed him from the house immediately.

"As you all know, violence is not tolerated in the 'Big Brother' house, so Willie has been removed from the game," Grodner told the remaining houseguests.

During the show's 24/7 live feed, which streams on Paramount+ and Pluto TV, Valentine was captured using the N-word in front of three houseguests.

"Luke violated the 'Big Brother' code of conduct and there is zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur," CBS and "Big Brother" producers said in an email statement to Insider. "He has been removed from the house."
