Big Brother 27 is down to its final four houseguests, and Morgan Pope just secured her spot in the finale by winning her fifth Power of Veto of the season. Now she holds all the power to decide whether her showmance partner Vince Panaro makes it to final three or gets blindsided in the biggest move of the season.
With Ava Pearl and Ashley Hollis on the block, the final veto meeting could determine who walks away with the $750,000 prize.
Big Brother 27: Morgan’s Dominant Competition Record
Morgan’s fifth POV win puts her just two behind the record holder Jag Bains, who won seven in Big Brother 25. But what’s even more impressive is how Morgan has completely taken over every single one of Vince’s HOH reigns throughout the season. She’s the one who convinced him to make all his major moves, from nominating his closest ally to targeting the biggest threats.
That domination will be a major talking point in her final two speech if she makes it there. While Mickey Lee got credit for taking over Rylie Jeffries‘s HOH once, Morgan has been the puppet master pulling Vince’s strings all season long.
Big Brother Spoilers: The Final Four Dilemma
Before the veto competition, Vince and Ava were already discussing him voting to evict Ashley instead of her. Ava argued that Vince could claim it was an emotional, on-the-spot decision because she needs the money more than Ashley. Vince seemed to agree that cutting Ashley over Ava would help fight the narrative that he’s just playing Morgan’s game.
The problem is that Morgan wants Ashley in the final three with them, not Ava. This creates a massive conflict between what Vince thinks might be best for his individual game versus what his showmance partner wants him to do.
After winning the veto, Morgan faces the biggest decision of her Big Brother career. She could use the veto on one of the nominees and force Vince onto the block as a replacement, essentially cutting her closest ally at the most crucial moment. It would be a game-winning move that shows she’s playing for herself, not for their showmance.
Vince’s Lies and the Live Veto Meeting on BB27
Vince has been lying to Ava about his intentions, telling her he’ll reveal his thoughts “after the veto meeting.” The problem is that the final veto meeting is live – there is no “after.” Morgan will either use the veto or keep nominations the same, and then Vince will immediately stand up and vote someone out to their face.
Either Vince doesn’t understand how the finale format works, or he’s deliberately misleading Ava about when she’ll find out her fate. Either way, it’s not a good look for someone who’s supposedly playing a strategic game.
Ava sees through the situation completely. She told Vince that if he brings Ashley to final three and Morgan picks her for final two, he’ll regret it for the rest of his life. Later, talking to herself, she admitted that Vince will do whatever Morgan wants and she’s screwed.
Big Brother: The Showmance vs. Individual Game
This final week perfectly encapsulates the central tension of Vince and Morgan’s relationship throughout the season. Morgan has been playing her own game while using Vince as a weapon, but now she has to decide if she’s willing to cut him loose when it matters most.
Most fans want Ava evicted since she spent much of the season napping instead of actively playing. Her strategy of “yapping then napping” hasn’t impressed viewers who prefer more active gameplay. But from a pure strategy standpoint, keeping Ava might actually be smarter for both Morgan and Vince since she’d be easier to beat in a final two.
Drama Outside the Big Brother House
Speaking of drama, Jimmy Heagerty spilled major tea about the evicted houseguests. He revealed that Katherine Woodman traveled to Oklahoma to visit Rylie, even though she asked him not to tell anyone. Of course, Jimmy couldn’t keep the secret.
This raises questions about whether Rylie will even be allowed at the finale, considering he was banned from doing exit interviews after his controversial departure. If Katherine shows up on his arm, it would create even more drama. Meanwhile, Vince’s real-world girlfriend Kelsey – aka “obvious reasons” in his code talk with Morgan – definitely won’t be attending after their very public breakup.
Big Brother 27: The Road to Finale
The eliminated houseguests include Adrian Rocha, Amy Bingham, Isaiah “Zae” Frederich, Jimmy, Zach Cornell, Rylie, Katherine, Mickey, Cliffton “Will” Williams, Rachel Reilly, Kelley Jorgensen, Lauren Domingue, and Keanu Soto.
Wednesday’s episode at 10 PM will show Keanu’s eviction, while Thursday’s episode will reveal who gets cut in fourth place and doesn’t make it to the final three.
Big Brother Spoilers: What This Means for the Finale
Morgan holding the final veto puts her in the driver’s seat heading into finale night. She’s proven she can win competitions when it matters most, she’s controlled the strategic direction of the season, and now she gets to decide who sits next to her in the final three.
Vince is freaking out because he knows his fate isn’t in his own hands anymore. After spending the whole season being led around by Morgan, he’s finally realizing that she might not prioritize their showmance over her own shot at winning.
Big Brother 27 started with weak casting and controversial twists, but it’s ending with genuine high-stakes drama where every decision could determine who wins half a million dollars. Whether Morgan chooses loyalty or strategy will define not just her game, but the entire legacy of this chaotic season.
The woman who manipulated her way to the end now faces her biggest choice: stick with the showmance that got her here, or make the move that could win her the whole game. Either way, the finale is going to be must-see television.
