Big Brother 25: How was Luke Valentine expelled?
The only real question that we had entering the episode was rather simple: How the situation was going to be handled during the live broadcast. Given that there have been no feeds ever since Luke’s removal, there hasn’t been a whole lot of info as to how things were going to be addressed.

Just from the start of the show alone, it felt like this was going to be a pretty unceremonious exit, and that may be design. There could be an intention here to not give Luke much in the way of air time.
When was the expulsion addressed?
It came during the second major block of the episode, which was introduced by Julie Chen with a mention of the “Code of Conduct.” This is something that was expanded in the past, after many complaints of houseguests sticking around after saying offensive comments within the game. The show censored the actual slur Luke said in the house, but they did show Jared struggle with it after the fact. He was clearly put in a really difficult position, as he noted in the Diary Room, as the only Black man in the house.
In the morning, Luke was called into the DR, and we did not actually see the conversation that led to him leaving the game. Reilly eventually announced via a card that he was gone from the game. Cory explained what happened to the other players (Hisam apparently didn’t hear it), but that was it.
