The Big Brother 27 recap for September 4 delivered a pivotal eviction that officially marked the end of the pre-jury phase. Ashley Hollis, Vince Panaro, and Mickey Lee all faced the block after Keanu Soto’s dramatic Head of Household reign. The night featured heated confrontations, tense alliances, and a shocking blindside vote that shifted the game’s dynamics.
Keanu’s Nomination Gamble
After Morgan Pope secured safety with the Veto, Head of Household Keanu Soto was left with a big decision. While some expected him to target Rachel Reilly, he instead chose to nominate Ashley Hollis, Rachel’s closest ally. This move intensified existing tensions, as Ashley and Rachel confronted Keanu during and after the Veto meeting, calling him “arrogant” and “disrespectful.” Ashley insisted she felt safe regardless, but her nomination set the stage for the week’s chaos.
Block Buster Showdown
Thursday’s eviction episode saw the three nominees — Vince, Ashley, and Mickey — battle it out in the Block Buster competition. In a swirling wind chamber challenge that required contestants to collect DNA balls in sequence, Vince Panaro pulled off a decisive victory, locking in his safety and guaranteeing his spot in the jury phase.
Mickey’s Downfall
With Vince safe, the choice came down to Ashley or Mickey. Despite campaigning hard, Mickey couldn’t overcome shifting alliances. Rachel Reilly, Will Williams, Kelley Jorgensen, Lauren Domingue, Morgan Pope, and Ava Pearl all voted to evict her. Only Vince cast a vote to send Ashley home. By a 6-1 tally, Mickey Lee was blindsided and became the last pre-juror.
In her exit interview with Julie Chen Moonves, Mickey admitted she believed she had the votes to stay. She expressed feeling most betrayed by Will, her long-time ally, and suggested that houseguests ultimately decided to save Ashley because of her close tie to Rachel. Mickey also revealed she may have thrown the competition to Vince, assuming it would help them both remain safe.
What’s Next in Big Brother 27?
Julie informed the houseguests that all remaining players — including Ashley Hollis, Rachel Reilly, Vince Panaro, and Keanu Soto — officially made the jury. The episode ended with the return of the Mastermind, teasing a new twist tied to the mysterious White Locust Resort. With Ashley surviving the block despite being nominated for eviction, the tension between her and Keanu is sure to carry forward as the game heads into its jury phase.
The next Head of Household competition will air Sunday, September 7. Fans can expect more fireworks as the “Summer of Mystery” continues inside the Hotel Mystère.
