A special episode of Big Brother 27 aired on Tuesday night. But it didn’t impress as many fans as it should have. Instead, it frustrated many viewers, some of whom saw their favorite player eliminated during a surprise challenge.
When we last watched Big Brother, Mickey Lee was evicted on a one-sided vote. She was the last person sent home before the jury phase. But the Big Brother Live Feeds remained down for another day as the production team filmed some action.
Now, on the September 9 episode, Big Brother fans finally got to see the aftermath of Mickey’s eviction and what happened next to the BB27 cast.
A Tuesday night episode recap
The new episode began with Keanu and Kelley boasting about how “pretty” they sat in the house. After much chatting, Keanu read a card about the White Locust. Everyone went to the backyard for a new twist.
First up, the final nine players were treated to some treats by the pool. The Mastermind popped up on the TV to introduce the “Month of Mayhem.” Then, the Mastermind hinted that someone was about to get eliminated.
Big Brother alum Tyler Crispen walked out after the players stewed over the words of the Mastermind. Tyler introduced a challenge where someone could acquire safety for the night. A battle of sliding totems on tables commenced. The fastest time would gain safety.
- Lauren did it in 51.75 seconds
- Morgan, Kelley, and Vince failed to beat Lauren’s time.
- Keanu finished in 44.12 seconds.
- Ava finished in 39.12 seconds.
- Rachel, Will, and Ashley failed to beat Ava’s time.
Ava was safe for the night.
A challenge to determine the first BB27 jury member
The winner of the previous challenge (Ava) decided the order of competitors in a new challenge. The first person had six minutes and 30 seconds to finish. If that person finished, they would select the next person to compete, but the new person had one minute less. Failing to finish would eliminate someone.
An additional wrinkle to the challenge was that the person who completed the maze the fastest would become Head of Household.
Rachel pulled Ava aside to go first. Rachel pulled Ava by the arm, making Ava upset. Ava then asked who would like to volunteer to go first. Houseguests scrambled to go up first (Lauren, Keanu, and Rachel). Meanwhile, Kelley and Will tried to avoid playing in the challenge. Ava picked Vince to avoid actually making a game move.
- Vince finished and went against the Judges’ alliance to pick Lauren to go second. He made Morgan upset. But Lauren promised to pick Morgan next.
- Lauren finished even quicker than Vince (she had to finish in 5:30). Lauren picked Morgan to go next.
- Morgan also finished the maze (she had 4:30 to finish). She planned to give Rachel control, and Rachel would pick the next person (after her).
- Rachel failed to complete the maze. Rachel Reilly has been eliminated from Big Brother 27.
