Eviction night arrived for Big Brother 27 on Thursday night. The July 17 episode marked the 10th day of the Summer 2025 season. Thus far, Vince has been in control. Winning the first Head of Household Competition leads to a situation where everyone tries to work with the HOH to survive. But is everyone simply telling Vince what he wants to hear? Or has he secured some permanent alliances?
It helps Vince that there has been fighting among the BB27 cast members. Keanu and Jimmy went at it, each finding the other player to be dishonest. They seemed to make up on the Big Brother Live Feeds, but it’s a situation to watch closely. Likewise, the fight between Rachel and Zae has created drama, with neither emerging in a positive light.
Zae, Amy, and Kelley finished the week on the block. Ashley had been nominated, but she won the Power of Veto. Vince named Kelley as the replacement nominee after she volunteered. But Kelley regrets that choice now. Each nominee would get a chance at safety during the BB Blockbuster. The success of the AI Arena during BB26 led producers to bring it back under a new name (BB Blockbuster).
Who won the first BB Blockbuster challenge on Big Brother 27?
Midway through the July 17 episode, Zae, Amy, and Kelley battled in a winner-take-all challenge. The first BB Blockbuster of the summer had the houseguests scrambling through a set to find a specific object. Clues about the object came in the form of scrambled words on big screens. A phrase based on the words would lead someone to victory.
It was slow going at first, but Kelley figured out the clues and won the BB Blockbuster. Kelley saved herself from the block and gave herself a huge push of adrenaline for the rest of the season. It turned out to be a dramatic game move to volunteer as a nominee, and Kelley gets to play at least another week. As for Zae and Amy, they had to face an eviction vote.
Who got voted off Big Brother 27 during the July 17 episode?
In order, Kelley voted to evict Amy, Rachel voted to evict Zae, Zach voted to evict Amy, Rylie voted to evict Zae, Jimmy voted to evict Zae, and Morgan voted to evict Zae before a commercial break. It was 4-2 to evict Zae at the point. When they returned, Adrian voted to evict Amy, Keanu voted to evict Amy, Ashley voted to evict Zae, Mickey voted to evict Zae, Will voted to evict Amy, Ava voted to evict Zae, Katherine voted to evict Zae, and Lauren voted to evict Zae.
Zae was evicted on a 9-5 vote. He is the first person sent home this summer. The house now heads into Week 2, with a new Head of Household Competition later on Thursday night. Big Brother fans will likely see Zae all over social media in the coming weeks.
