The double eviction has come and gone, and we're in the final stages of Big Brother Season 27. After Lauren Domingue and Kelley Jorgensen made their way out the door, it's Ava Pearl, Keanu Soto, Vince Panaro, Morgan Pope, and Ashley Hollis still in the game. Of course, one of them had to be the Final Five Head of Household, which, frankly, is one of the worst times to hold the position.
CinemaBlend is watching Big Brother online and can confirm who won after watching an endurance competition play out on the live feeds. Here's who is running the house in this critical time, and why it might not really matter in the long run.
Vince Won The Week 11 HOH
For the fourth time this season, Vince Panaro is the HOH in Big Brother. He'd only just barely moved out after his Week 10 reign, and thanks to the double-eviction, was immediately eligible again.
It looked like the competition was a mix between the Pressure Cooker and holding some object in place with a stick, like Houseguests did in Season 26, though this group didn't last nearly as long as any house that did it before them. It was all over fairly quickly, which I'm sure they were all grateful for on the heels of a double eviction.
Why I Think This Is The Worst HOH Of The Season
Vince signaled last night that he plans to nominate Ava and Keanu for eviction, and I'm sure he's thankful the BB Blockbuster didn't go much longer into the jury phase, so he didn't have to pick a third person. All that being said, it's not like it makes a huge difference who he nominates, as it's largely going to come down to who wins the veto.
Vince can try to advocate for who he wants to leave this week, but he's going to rely on at least one of his allies to force a tie if he wants to actually make it happen. One of the voters could decide to align with Vince and make it so he gets to break the tie and choose who goes, or they could align with each other and make a decision without him having a role.
The biggest downside of this win for Vince is that he's now ineligible to play for the Final Four Head of Household, which would guarantee he'd be there on finale night. As the winningest HOH of the season, he's going to have a massive target on his back and be incredibly vulnerable after this week. I know I'd be trying to get him out before the Final Three if I had the chance, as his elimination would significantly increase everyone else's chances of winning.
I have to question at this point, though, if Keanu or Morgan would be willing to cut Vince before the Final Three if given the opportunity. I know that Ava and Ashley would, without question, but thus far, Morgan and Keanu have played a somewhat loyal game. Flipping on Vince, though, would be the move that propels them toward $750,000; however, and given the Big Brother payday isn't all that substantial otherwise, I'd be tempted to take out Vince regardless of how long we've been in the game together.
Catch a new episode of Big Brother on CBS on Sunday beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET. It's going to be a late night for those who want to see what Vince does, unless, of course, they just DVR it and watch in the morning.
