Big Brother spoilers
Parts 1 and 2 of the final three-part HOH competition have already been completed. Those challenges will be shown early in the season finale.
But live feeders already know the outcomes of parts 1 and 2.
Morgan Pope won Part 1. Viewers of the Friday episode were left with a cliffhanger as they last saw the Final 3 begin the competition in the backyard. The houseguest who could stay on their flying drone the longest won the competition and automatically advanced to Part 3. Pope outlasted Hollis and Panaro.
As a result, Part 2 then pitted Hollis against Panaro. And Hollis won her first comp since Week 1. She’ll now square off against Pope to be the final HOH of the summer.
The last couple of days have also seen the houseguests practice their Final 2 speeches and with Pope and Hollis pondering what they will do if they win Part 3. Pope, especially, is at a roadblock with her decision. She has a Final 2 deal with Panaro but worries about what could happen if she sits next to him in the end.
Who won Part 3 of the HOH on Big Brother?
Part 3 of the final Head of Household competition has not happened yet. It will take place live during Sunday’s episode.
It will come down between Morgan Pope and Ashley Hollis. Pope won Part 1 on Thursday night and Hollis won Part 2 on Friday afternoon to punch their tickets to the final leg of the HOH competition.
The winner punches their ticket to the Final 2. In turn, they will then choose who is the final member of the jury and who sits next to them in the final two chairs.
It’s a decision that Pope especially is wrestling with in the last couple of days. Hollis has said if she wins Part 3 she plans to vote out Pope, who is the favorite to win. That has provided a lot of intrigue leading up to the finale.
Panaro can only hope either Pope or Hollis takes him to the Final 2 and then gets the chance to plead his case to the jury.
Is Dr. Will the Mastermind on Big Brother?
“Big Brother” introduced a Mastermind this season to wreak havoc on the houseguests.
The identity of the Mastermind, who has been masked every time he comes onto the screen, will be revealed during Sunday’s live season finale.
It appears the houseguests already spilled the beans.
The Mastermind reportedly had a role in Part 2 of the final HOH competition on Friday. When the live feeds returned that evening, Pope and Hollis were discussing the Mastermind.
Who is the “Big Brother” Mastermind?
Dr. Will Kirby, a “Big Brother” legend who won season 2 and later competed on “Big Brother All-Stars” in season 7, apparently is the Mastermind.
Sunday’s season finale will confirm whether this is true.
Big Brother jury roundtable
The six members of the jury — it will become seven during the finale — will gather to discuss the merits of the Final 3.
Former “Big Brother” winner Cody Calafiore will host the jury roundtable for the first time. The roundtable will be shown during the finale but it was filmed a couple days ago.
Calafiore knows what it takes to get to the end. He was runner up on his first season in 2014 and then was the winner six years later on an All-Star season in 2020.
Rachel Reilly, another former winner who starred on this season and was the first member of the jury, is sure to provide the fireworks at the roundtable.
Big Brother season finale: Who’s left in Big Brother?
The Final 3 consists of three members of the Judges alliance.
- Morgan Pope
- Ashley Hollis
- Vince Panaro
Who wins Big Brother? Big Brother winner prediction
The houseguest who plays games for a living will win the game of “Big Brother.”
Morgan Pope, 34, has been the complete package this season and she’ll be showered with confetti when she walks out of the “Big Brother” house on Sunday night as the winner.
She’ll win Part 3 of the final HOH competition to earn her spot in the Final 2. It will mark the eighth straight round she’ll have safety from an eviction. Pope already held the BB record in this category.
Pope will then have to decide who to vote out. She’s been wrestling with this decision, but I see her staying true to Panaro, her No. 1 ally in the second half of the season.
It wouldn’t matter who she sits next to, though if she does face Hollis in the Final 2, I could see the 25-year-old attorney making it closer since she has some allies in the jury house.
Either way, Pope takes the crown. She dominated the jury phase of the game with her comp wins and her strategic mind. She formed a strong bond with Mickey Lee early in the game, something that was beneficial to both, but also connected with other houseguests as the season unfolded, something that proved advantageous. Panero, 34, later became her No. 1 and the two were no match for the others. But Pope gets credit here. She used her social game to have major influence over Panaro’s decisions.
And while Pope was building bridges with others, Panaro was burning his. Morgan Pope is up there with some of the best to ever play the game.
The gamer will be $750,000 richer Sunday night.
Big Brother prize money
The winner of “Big Brother” season 27 wins $750,000.
It’s the fifth straight year that the BB winner will earn a quarter of a million dollars. Previous winners won $500,000. Marquette University graduate Xavier Prather was the first winner to take home $750,000 when the Milwaukee attorney won season 23 in 2021.
Second-place gets $75,000.
Big Brother America’s Favorite Player vote
Time is running out to vote for your favorite “Big Brother” 27 houseguest.
You have until 11 a.m. Central time to cast your vote for America’s Favorite Player. Vote at CBS.com.
The winner gets $50,000.
Big Brother America’s Favorite Player prediction
Who will walk away with the title of America’s Favorite Player and the $50,000?
When Rachel Reilly was shockingly eliminated from the game during the controversial White Lotus twist, fans were outraged.
Many wondered how “Big Brother” could take out a legend in that matter?
Well, the fans haven’t forgotten and I predict they have been using this energy to award Reilly, who was TV gold this summer and further cemeted her BB legacy, with America’s Favorite Player. She’ll add this title to her “Big Brother” 13 win in 2011.
Keanu Soto, who was Reilly’s “frenemy” during the season and became a fan favorite for his perseverence, will give her a run for her money but will come up second.
I’ll say Pope gets third in this vote.
