The final stretch of Big Brother 27 has officially begun, and it did not disappoint. In one of the most pivotal episodes of the season, Ava Pearl was evicted, ending her run just short of finale night. (Warning: More Big Brother spoilers ahead.)

Immediately afterward, the remaining houseguests — Morgan Pope, Vince Panaro, and Ashley Hollis — began the three-part Final Head of Household competition. This competition will decide who claims the $750,000 prize.

Thanks to live-feed updates and network confirmation, we now know the first result: Morgan Pope won Part 1 of the Final HOH. This puts her in the best position yet to secure the title of champion.

Ava Pearl Sent to Jury

Heading into the eviction, Ava Pearl’s social game was under scrutiny. Despite flashes of strategic savvy, she couldn’t overcome the shifting late-game alliances. She was unanimously voted out, becoming the last jury member. Ava’s eviction immediately set the stage for the Final 3 showdown. Her presence on the jury could still prove decisive depending on who makes it to the end. This is especially considering her tense history with Vince and complicated dynamic with Ashley.

Morgan Pope Claims Part 1

The first leg of the Final HOH is traditionally an endurance competition designed to test balance, stamina, and mental resilience. This year was no different, and Morgan Pope outlasted her competitors to win Part 1. The win secures Morgan a spot in the decisive Part 3 showdown on finale night. This victory continues Morgan’s impressive late-game streak, solidifying her narrative as one of the season’s biggest competition threats.

Vince Panaro and Ashley Hollis Face Off Next

The loss was especially painful for Vince Panaro, who entered the competition as a favorite but faltered in Part 1. Vince “struggled to keep up” in the physical challenge. This leaves him with no choice but to regroup and prepare for Part 2. He’ll go head-to-head against Ashley Hollis, who also fell short in the endurance test. Only one will have the chance to face Morgan in the finale. Their showdown in Part 2 will be a do-or-die scenario, as the winner earns the last available ticket to the climactic Part 3.

Format and Stakes

The structure of the Final HOH is a cornerstone of Big Brother lore. The three-part competition works as follows: the Part 1 winner (Morgan) advances directly to Part 3. The Part 2 winner (to be decided between Vince and Ashley) earns the right to challenge Morgan. The winner of Part 3 becomes the Final Head of Household. They have the sole power to choose who sits next to them in the Final 2. That decision often determines who ultimately wins the game. It shapes the narrative the jury will consider.

Jury Dynamics: Who Has the Edge?

With Ava joining the jury, the social and strategic weight shifts once again. Morgan has demonstrated competitive dominance. However, jurors sometimes punish late-game comp beasts if they feel social bonds were neglected. Vince’s game has been polarizing; he’s made big moves but also rubbed allies the wrong way. Ashley, meanwhile, has quietly built a reputation for loyalty and resilience. This could appeal to a jury tired of drama. Ava’s vote, in particular, may be crucial — her exit came with unfinished business. Whether she rewards gameplay or loyalty remains to be seen.

Looking Toward the Finale

The live finale airs on Sunday, September 28, promising the culmination of months of strategy, betrayals, and unexpected twists. If Morgan wins Part 3, she controls who sits beside her. She will likely choose between perceived loyalty (Ashley) or resume respect (Vince). If Vince or Ashley can beat her, the tables turn entirely. No matter how it plays out, the Final HOH will be remembered as one of the season’s most pivotal battles.

As the final days tick down, one thing is certain: the stakes have never been higher. Fans will be watching closely to see if Morgan can ride her momentum to the crown. Alternatively, Vince or Ashley might wrestle back control at the last moment. Stay tuned for more Big Brother spoilers as Part 2 and Part 3 unfold. They will pave the path to crowning the season’s winner.
