The Big Brother 27 finale is almost here, and the stakes have never been higher. After the shocking eviction of Ava Pearl, the Final 3 houseguests — Morgan Pope, Vince Panaro, and Ashley Hollis — battled for control in the final Head of Household competition. Part 2 has now played out, and the results shook up expectations in a big way.

Ashley Hollis Stuns in Part 2

Heading into the round, Morgan had already secured her spot in Part 3 by winning the first competition. That left Ashley and Vince to face off for the last ticket to the finale. Against the odds, Ashley defeated Vince to claim the victory in Part 2.

This was only Ashley’s second win of the entire season, making her triumph especially surprising. She even managed to snatch the victory despite Vince initially leading her by 20 minutes — a mistake on his part cost him dearly when he misread the competition directions. The loss left Vince devastated, while Ashley celebrated with a dance in the kitchen.

What This Means for the Finale

Ashley’s win sets up a Part 3 showdown between her and Morgan during the live finale on Sunday, September 28. The winner of that final HOH competition will decide who sits next to them in the Final 2 chairs. Vince’s fate now rests entirely on whether Morgan or Ashley chooses to keep him.

According to the live feed spoilers, Ashley’s smartest move would be to take Vince to the Final 2 if she wins. Morgan has built a stronger social and competition résumé, with two HOH and five Power of Veto wins. By contrast, Vince’s game has been chaotic, burning bridges with nearly every juror, including Rachel Reilly, Will Williams, Lauren Domingue, Kelley Jorgensen, Keanu Soto, and Ava Pearl. Ashley’s chances of convincing the Jury are much stronger if she faces Vince instead of Morgan.

Morgan’s Position of Power

If Morgan wins Part 3, she’s considered the heavy favorite to win the entire game. Her consistent record of competition victories and loyal gameplay make her a strong contender in front of the Jury. Even though her relationship with Vince — which Zingbot teased as a “cheatmance” because of his girlfriend outside the house — could influence her decision, Morgan would likely still beat him in a Final 2 scenario.
