Heading into Big Brother 27, Episode 27, the Week 8 eviction was already packed with drama. After Morgan Pope saved herself with the Veto, Head of Household Keanu Soto had to make a critical decision: backdoor his longtime frenemy Rachel Reilly, or nominate Ashley Hollis, Rachel’s loyal ally. In the end, Keanu chose Ashley, setting the stage for one of the season’s most chaotic eviction nights.
Fallout from the Veto Meeting
Ashley immediately lashed out at Keanu, while Rachel piled on, accusing him of being a liar and “arrogant.” Even Will Williams noticed Rachel’s attempts to bait Keanu into conflict. Meanwhile, Rachel began strategizing a shift in loyalty, considering saving Vince Panaro over Mickey Lee if both remained on the block.
Mickey launched a campaign to stay, appealing to Kelley Jorgensen and Morgan for support. Keanu, meanwhile, tried to stir doubt with Ava Pearl, telling her Rachel had pushed for Ava’s nomination — a claim Ava wisely took with skepticism.
Alliance Tensions and Campaigns
As eviction night loomed, Mickey scrambled to secure votes, pitching herself to Will and Ava. Ava flatly refused in the Diary Room, while Will stayed noncommittal. Mickey even explored a tentative pact with Vince, suggesting mutual protection, though she hesitated to risk alienating Rachel and Ashley.
In a late strategy chat, Mickey, Rachel, Ashley, and Will considered evicting Vince to weaken the opposing side of the house. The plan: save Mickey, eliminate Vince, and push Ava deeper into the Judges alliance.

BB Block Buster Competition
The eviction episode’s centerpiece was the Forensic Frenzy Block Buster competition, where nominees Vince, Ashley, and Mickey battled inside a chaotic wind chamber. Contestants had to collect DNA balls in the correct order before locking them into their test tubes. In a decisive performance, Vince dominated the challenge, ensuring his safety for the week.
That left Ashley Hollis and Mickey Lee as the final eviction nominees heading into the live vote. With house tensions at an all-time high, the decision promises to send shockwaves through the Hotel Mystère and reshape alliances in the ongoing “Summer of Mystery” season.
