Recent Evictions on Big Brother 27
Week 5—Zach Cornell’s Shocking Exit
In a surprising blindside, Zach Cornell was evicted in an 8-2 vote. Despite holding a secret power that could have guaranteed his safety—trading $10,000 for immunity—Zach chose not to use it, believing he was safe. Unfortunately, that decision backfired when he found himself nominated alongside Vince Panaro and Keanu Soto. Julie Chen Moonves even playfully tapped him on the head with cue cards during the exit interview, highlighting his overconfidence and misstep.
Critics quickly labeled this one of the worst strategic blunders in the season. Zach’s reluctance to leverage a guaranteed safety right when he needed it most may go down as a textbook example of overconfidence in Big Brother gameplay.
Week 4—Jimmy Heagerty Gets Blindsided
The Week 4 eviction saw Jimmy Heagerty unexpectedly evicted by a 9-2 vote. Head of Household Mickey Lee nominated Jimmy as a replacement after Keanu removed himself with the Veto. Jimmy’s blindside triggered widespread backlash, even though he showed remorse and acknowledged that his “shady” gameplay and layered alliances might have painted a target on his back.
In interviews post-eviction, Jimmy expressed hurt over perceived betrayal by Mickey and Morgan. Meanwhile, host Julie Chen Moonves revealed that Mickey’s decision was influenced by feelings of betrayal and Jimmy’s secretive gameplay during his HOH reign. She also noted a humorous but forbidden attempt by Ashley to change her vote at the last minute.
Strategy & Social Gameplay: What Went Wrong (and Right)
Zach Cornell’s miscalculation: Holding a literal lifeline ($10K for safety), Zach gambled on his perceived safety—but the house didn’t share that confidence. His choice not to use the power remains one of this season’s most critically panned moves.
Jimmy Heagerty’s damage control: Known for stirring drama and multiple alliance flips (including staging a condom incident), Jimmy admitted his overreaching strategies may have cost him the game—even if they delivered great TV.
