Welcome to our recap of the latest episode of Big Brother 27, where the stakes are high and the drama unfolds with every twist and turn.
Big Brother 27 Recap: Keanu and Kelley Escape the Block
As we head into the second eviction episode of Big Brother 27, Keanu Soto has just claimed the Power of Veto, thanks to a special twist involving Season 20 champion Kaycee Clark. He successfully removed himself from the chopping block, leaving Head of Household Jimmy Heagerty scrambling to replace his initial target. Ultimately, he decided to nominate Amy Bingham as a sacrifice. But the twists didn’t stop there.
Kelley’s Secret Power
Kelley Jorgensen added fuel to the fire by successfully completing a solo Veto competition, saving herself from the block. This move left Jimmy even more frustrated, forcing him to nominate yet another houseguest — his fifth for the week — Will Williams, who now joins Adrian Rocha and Amy on the block.
Power Dynamics Shift
With the house divided on who they’d prefer to keep, tonight’s BB Blockbuster competition could completely shift the power dynamics. One of the nominees will have the opportunity to win their way off the block, narrowing the final eviction choice to just two houseguests.
Who Will Be Evicted?
Will it be Adrian, Amy, or Will who rises to the occasion — and who will ultimately be sent packing?
Read on for our recap of Big Brother Season 27, Episode 7, which aired July 24 on CBS. This season’s theme is the “Summer of Mystery,” and the house has been transformed into the Hotel Mystère, where secrets lurk behind every corner. The 17 players in the running for the $750,000 grand prize are:
- Adrian Rocha (23): Carpenter from San Antonio, Texas
- Amy Bingham (43): Insurance agent from Stockton, Calif.
- Ashley Hollis (25): Attorney from Chicago
- Ava Pearl (24): Aura painter from Long Island, N.Y.
- Jimmy Heagerty (25): AI consultant from Sarasota, Fla.
- Katherine Woodman (23): Fine dining server from Gwinnett County, Ga.
- Keanu Soto (33): Dungeon Master from Miami
- Kelley Jorgensen (29): Web designer from Burbank, S.D.
- Lauren Domingue (22): Bridal consultant from Lafayette, La.
- Mickey Lee (35): Event curator from Jacksonville, Fla.
- Morgan Pope (33): Gamer from Palm Springs, Calif.
- Rachel Reilly (40): BB12 contestant and BB13 winner from Hoover, Ala.
- Rylie Jeffries (27): Professional bull rider from Luther, Okla.
- Vince Panaro (34): Unemployed from West Hills, Calif.
- Will Williams (50): College sports podcaster from Wallace, S.C.
- Zach Cornell (27): Marketing manager from Cartersville, Ga.
- Zae Frederich (23): Salesperson from Paducah, Ky.
But First
With both his first and second choice evictees now off the block, HOH Jimmy stated that he doesn’t care which of the three go home this week. His mostly female allies are frustrated that Jimmy has wasted his reign by leaving three non-threats as the final nominees and for not discussing his decisions with them. Momentum seems to be shifting to the guys’ side of the house (plus Kelley), who are organized in their objective to ensure that Adrian is not the one evicted. The first step in their mission would be for Adrian to win the BB Blockbuster, but that would require a comp win from the same guy who was bested by a vertical washer and dryer unit less than two weeks ago.
Added Value
Looking at the nominees, Mickey and Morgan debated who would bring the most “added value” to their games if they were to stay in the house. Understanding that Will is not closely tied to anyone, they campaigned to keep Will above Adrian or Amy but hit a wall with the guys, like Zach, who prefer Adrian to stay as a competitor. On the girls’ side, Ashley was concerned about the possibility of Amy being evicted, as both she and Rachel see Amy as a bigger asset to their game.

BB Blockbuster
In “Puzzling Prints,” the three nominees had to complete a 12-piece fingerprint puzzle quicker than their competitors. Adrian got the quickest start and assembled it correctly a few pieces faster than Amy, saving himself from the block and leaving Amy and Will to be voted for or against in the live eviction.
Live Vote & Eviction
Ahead of the live vote, Amy refrained from saying anything negative about Will, instead focusing on positive remarks. Will used his time to ask that his work “speak for” him and that if they wanted to keep Amy over him, he would understand.
In the Diary Room, Rachel voted to evict Amy, Morgan voted to evict Amy, Rylie voted to evict Amy, Zach voted to evict Amy…
