Big Brother 27 delivered another intense week as Katherine Woodman, the winner of the Power of Veto (POV), made a surprising decision not to use it, leaving the nominations unchanged. The move has sparked debates among fans about whether this was a smart strategy or a missed opportunity. Meanwhile, Zach Cornell also chose not to use his secret $10,000 safety power, putting himself at risk of eviction.
Ava Pearl’s Head of Household Reign Shakes Up The Game
Ava Pearl, the current Head of Household (HOH), nominated three strong players—Keanu Soto, Vince Panaro, and Zach Cornell—for eviction. She explained her strategy, saying she wanted to target the “insane” players while keeping the more level-headed ones in the game.
“Ashley Hollis, Kelley Jorgensen, Mickey, Morgan Pope, and Katherine Woodman are a little bit nutso. If we get the levelheaded people out – Vince and Zach… I don’t wanna put Lauren Domingue up. Let them attack each other. I don’t know what I’m saying, I’m just gonna go off vibes,” Ava told the cameras.
Ava believed that Keanu would likely win a competition to save himself, so she focused on Zach and Vince as her main targets. She also had backup plans, considering Morgan Pope and Lauren Domingue as potential replacement nominees.
Katherine Woodman’s Veto Win And Controversial Decision
Katherine, who had been seen as a “floater” (a player avoiding major moves), shocked the house by winning the Power of Veto. Many expected her to use it to shake up the game, but she decided against it.
“She’s not a target to anyone else, so this is a rare veto she can use with little consequence to her own game,” one insider noted.
Katherine reportedly told others she didn’t want to change the nominations because it might upset the house dynamics. However, some fans believe she missed a chance to make a big move by not saving Keanu or Zach.
Zach Cornell’s Risky Gamble With His Secret Power
Zach had a secret advantage—he could use his $10,000 prize from the premiere to buy his safety. The twist? He could only do this after the Veto ceremony, and the HOH couldn’t refuse the deal.
Despite being on the block, Zach chose not to use his power, a decision that left fans stunned. Some speculate he wanted to protect Morgan Pope from being nominated as a replacement.
“Zach tried to convince Katherine to use the veto on him. Interestingly, Keanu didn’t ask Kat to use it on him but suggested if she was going to use it, to use it on Vince,” reports revealed.
If Zach gets evicted, this could go down as one of the worst gameplay mistakes in Big Brother history.
The House Reactions And Fan Theories
The veto ceremony results led to mixed reactions in the house. Morgan Pope was relieved that Zach didn’t use his power, as she feared being the replacement nominee. Meanwhile, Keanu Soto tried to strategize with Morgan, suggesting he might throw the upcoming BB Blockbuster competition to help Vince stay.
Fans on social media had strong opinions:
“This cast is very annoying and most are unlikeable, but I’m still enjoying the unpredictability, drama, and chaos. It’s giving BB11.”
“When feeds come back on, I need Morgan spiraling, crying, throwing up.”
What Happens Next?
With the veto unused, the final nominees remain Keanu, Vince, and Zach. The next big moment is the BB Blockbuster competition, where one of them could win safety. If Zach loses, he faces a high chance of eviction, especially since he didn’t use his safety net.
Big Brother 27 continues to air on CBS every Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 8:00 p.m. ET.
