The Big Brother 27 cast just played the Week 3 Veto Competition. The Power of Veto has already caused considerable drama, and more is to come this week. Additionally, the new Head of Household, who had said they were ready to make a big move, may be forced to do just that. This could lead to some fun episodes in the coming days.
Lauren Domingue is the new HOH. She won the challenge late on Thursday night. It was an odd game move, as she was perfectly positioned in the middle of the house. Lauren didn’t need to win power yet, but she did, and it forced her to nominate three people for eviction. Gone were her sentiments about making a bold move – replaced by a familiar target.
Keanu Soto was the Week 3 target. He angered most of the house with his speech at the last Veto Meeting, making it easy for the next HOH to throw him under the bus. However, the key point here is that he was the target… because he’s no longer the target.
Keanu won the Power of Veto. He beat out fellow nominees Kelley Jorgensen and Will Williams. It forces Lauren to name a replacement nominee at the upcoming Veto Meeting. This is where things start to get more dramatic, as she has the chance to backdoor someone. But will she do it?
A new target on Big Brother 27
Lauren mentioned putting Ashley Hollis on the block. She would become Keanu’s replacement nominee and possibly the most likely person to go home. But this move would come at a price. Lauren would make game enemies with Ashley’s allies. That puts her at risk next week. Still, there is a lot of time before the July 28 Veto Meeting, so she has time to reconsider that move.
After Ashley consoled Lauren during her HOH deliberations, this could be seen as a huge betrayal by Ashley. She felt close to Lauren. No matter what happens next, the fans should get some good drama after Keanu found safety. He may have been voted out unanimously had he remained on the block, but now he can relax and try to win Head of Household next week. Everyone else not aligned directly with Lauren is scrambling to stay off the block.
As a reminder, Will, Kelley, and a third nominee will compete in another BB Block Buster Challenge next week. Who do you want to see go home? Are you happy that Keanu is safe?
