In Big Brother 27, Week 8 delivered dramatic gameplay and shifting alliances as Head of Household (HOH) Keanu Soto made a bold, unexpected move by nominating his own alliance, propelling the season into the jury phase. With the finale scheduled for Sunday, September 28, 2025, the tension is ramping up.

On Thursday, September 4, 2025, the live eviction episode aired, setting the stage for the final stretch before the jury round begins. This week’s competition, nominations, and eviction vote offered up-gameplay tension and suspense for both houseguests and viewers alike.

Week 8 Highlights

Keanu Soto claimed the HOH crown and immediately shook things up by targeting members of his own Judges alliance: Vince Panaro, Morgan Pope, and Mickey Lee.

Despite the fractured loyalties, Vince secured safety by winning the BB Blockbuster “Forensic Frenzy” competition, leaving Mickey Lee and Ashley Hollis on the chopping block.

When voting time arrived, the house delivered a decisive 6–1 eviction. Mickey Lee was sent home; her only vote to stay came from Vince, eliminating her just before the jury phase began.

Jury Cutoff & Shifting Dynamics

Mickey’s eviction marks the end of the pre-jury phase, meaning everyone evicted from this point onward will vote for the winner in the finale on September 28 at 8:30 p.m. ET.

The move to shake up the Judges alliance, combined with Mickey revealing she intentionally lost the Blockbuster comp to help Vince, exposed growing cracks in the house’s trust structure.

Looking Ahead: Week 9 and Beyond

With the live episode ending without revealing the new HOH for Week 9, fans were left in suspense. Social media buzzed with frustration over the delay, with many longing for a return to the format that resolves both eviction and HOH in one episode.

Meanwhile, the remaining ten contestants—Ashley Hollis, Vince Panaro, Ava Pearl, Katherine Woodman, Keanu Soto, Clifton “Will” Williams, Kelley Jorgensen, Lauren Domingue, Morgan Pope, and Rachel Reilly—must navigate new power dynamics in the crucial jury phase.

Conclusion

Week 8 of Big Brother 27 raised the stakes significantly. Keanu’s audacious nominations, Vince’s immunity win, and Mickey’s eviction reshaped the alliances as the game charges into the final, jury‐deciding phase. With the HOH for Week 9 still unrevealed, viewers can expect strategy, surprises, and high emotions as the season builds toward its September 28 finale.
