For most of Week 5 in Big Brother 27, the big question was whether Zach would use his secret $10,000 bribe power to get himself off the block. He could have guaranteed safety and coasted through the week—but on Monday, he stunned the house by letting the power go unused.
That night, Zach finally came clean to Morgan, explaining he didn’t use it because he knew she would be the replacement nominee. He wasn’t willing to risk losing his closest ally. On Wednesday night, after a day of missed opportunities, Zach also told Mickey about his power in an effort to strengthen trust.
Mickey’s Changing Target List
Throughout the day, Mickey had been pulling houseguests aside to lock in votes. She was set on evicting Keanu, but she was less certain about who should stay between Vince and Zach. At first, she leaned toward evicting Vince. Then a conversation with Ava made her question whether Zach’s social game—and his charm—posed a bigger threat than she had realized.

While Keanu remained her top eviction target, Mickey began leaning toward keeping Vince in any scenario. Then Zach finally got his moment to share his secret.
Zach’s Power Reveal
Zach told Mickey that he’d held the bribe power since Week 1 and could use it to buy his safety until the jury phase. He stressed that he hadn’t used it this week solely to protect Morgan from going on the block.
Mickey immediately asked how they could build trust if he’d kept this from her. Zach explained that Morgan already knew about the power—he’d told her earlier in the week—and that he saw it as a safeguard for their four-person alliance of Vince, Morgan, Mickey, and himself. If any of them were in danger in the future, he could use the bribe to keep the alliance intact.
He promised not to tell Lauren, planning to keep the information within their group, and said he’d reveal it to Vince only if they both survived the week.
Aftermath & Uncertain Future
The conversation ended with a hug, but Mickey was soon pacing the house, seemingly looking for Morgan before being called to the Diary Room. Now another player knows about Zach’s secret—and whether it stays within the alliance is far from guaranteed.
If Zach survives the week, the bribe power could become a valuable shield. But the wrong person leaking the information could turn it into a weapon against him. And based on his own comments to Mickey, it sounds like he might not hesitate to use it next time he’s on the block.
For now, the question is whether revealing the secret to Mickey will buy Zach loyalty—or put an even bigger target on his back heading into the next eviction.
