Big Brother 27 Live Feeds Recap — Thursday, August 14th: Rachel Wins HOH, Nomination Plans Still Under Wraps

Thursday’s Big Brother 27 eviction was one of the season’s trickiest to call, with several votes still in flux before the live show. In the end, Zach was sent packing in an 8–2 vote over Vince after Keanu secured safety in the BB Block Buster competition. Only Rachel and Will voted to keep Zach, sending both him and his special power out the door.

With Ava dethroned, a new Head of Household was crowned — and Rachel is back in power for Week 6. While she’s keeping her nomination plans close to the chest, conversations in the house are hinting at who might be in trouble.

HOH Fallout and Early Reactions

When feeds returned at 10:58 PM BBT, Rachel had claimed her first HOH win in years, tying Paul for the most lifetime HOH victories. Vince immediately began worrying about being nominated, while Keanu tried to reassure him — and floated a six-person alliance pitch to Rachel involving Rylie, Kat, Kelley, himself, Vince, and Rachel.

Morgan and Mickey, both wary of the new power shift, privately discussed their fears of landing on the block. Meanwhile, Ava and Ashley celebrated Rachel’s win, with Rachel telling them she knows exactly who has been targeting her.

Clues About Potential Noms

By the end of the night, Rachel had told Keanu, Ava, Will, Ashley, and Kelley that they’re safe. That leaves limited options for nominations — with Vince, Mickey, and Morgan emerging as likely targets. Vince’s name has come up repeatedly in conversations, with Ava flatly telling Rachel that “Vince has to go.” Keanu has also been labeled a “flip-flopper” by both Ava and Rachel, though Rachel says she isn’t planning to nominate him.

Other Notable Moments
  • Morgan admitted to Ashley she’s more upset over Zach’s eviction than Rachel’s HOH win.
  • Kelley gave Rachel permission to nominate her if needed, but Rachel declined.
  • Rachel told Ashley she’s weighing two different approaches this week, warning that “if she takes a shot, she can’t miss.”
  • Vince speculated about who voted against him, incorrectly guessing Lauren instead of Rachel and Will.
  • Keanu repeated Rachel’s private strategy hints to Vince — despite her explicitly telling him not to.

For now, Rachel isn’t revealing her final decision, but based on the chatter, the first nomination ceremony of Week 6 could put Vince, Mickey, and Morgan in the hot seat.
