Big Brother Week 7 flipped fast after the Power of Veto. NJ.com confirmed on August 25, 2025, that Mickey won the PoV, forcing Head of Household Vince to name a replacement nominee.

That single win detonated the week’s plan. Therefore, the conversation shifted from “keep the noms the same” to “who takes the open seat.” Meanwhile, fans now wonder whether Vince swings big or plays it safe.

Who’s on the block, and why it matters in Big Brother 27

Vince’s initial noms put Mickey, Ava, and Kelley in danger. However, Mickey’s PoV created a vacancy that could redefine alliances. The Cincinnati Enquirer framed the key question on August 25, 2025: Did Vince nominate Rachel, or would he pick a “safer” pawn?

Because numbers and jury management now loom large, every option carries a cost. Consequently, even a so-called “easy” renom could fracture relationships he still needs.

Is Rachel the backdoor target — or the shield Vince needs?

Talk in and around the feeds has centered on whether Rachel should be the replacement. On one hand, a backdoor shot could neutralize a marquee threat. On the other hand, if she stays, blowback could define Vince’s game.

Moreover, the “Judges” alliance dynamics complicate the math. As Soap Dirt has discussed, allies have pushed and pulled Vince in opposite directions, which increases the risk of misreading the house. Consequently, timing and vote certainty matter more than ever for Week 7.

Ashley Hollis drops the “dumb” act; Rylie lawsuit chatter pops up

In a separate live-feed storyline, Soap Dirt reports on August 25, 2025, that Ashley cam-talked that she has been intentionally playing down her savvy. She cited “Legally Blonde” vibes as cover, which—if true—recasts her social reads as deliberate strategy.

Additionally, Soap Dirt notes online chatter that Rylie might sue over his portrayal. No official complaint is confirmed in the coverage. Therefore, treat it as a rumor until filings or statements surface.

What’s next for Big Brother Week 7

The sources confirm the PoV winner but do not lock the exact renom ceremony timing. As a result, fans should expect the reveal to determine whether Vince values a shield or prefers a headline move.

Either way, Big Brother Week 7 now hinges on one chair and one choice. If he targets a power player, the house could explode. If he picks a pawn, he may live to fight another HoH—yet leave the big targets intact. For continuing Big Brother 27 spoilers, keep an eye on the feeds and official broadcasts as the week resolves.
