Attention Big Brother fanatics! We have reached the jury portion of the game. In the Thursday, August 28 episode, Katherine Woodman became the final BB27 pre-juror after receiving 7 elimination votes. Her exit ushers in a new era for the remaining houseguests. They can no longer send houseguests out the door with no regard for their feelings. Now, they must focus on jury management.
Winning Big Brother requires a player to make big moves and eliminate allies, but they must be careful to manage the emotions of the houseguests they send to the jury house. Making it to the end means nothing if you have a bunch of bitter jurors who will refuse to reward you with a win. It’s a tricky balance, and I don’t have much faith in most of the BB27 cast.
Let’s be honest. There isn’t a player in the house who hasn’t made a misstep at some point. No one has played a perfect game, but that’s what makes it fun. Former front-runners like Vince Panaro and Mickey Lee have damaged their games beyond recognition in recent weeks, souring their once clear path to the end. All this to say, it is still anyone’s game.
So, who are the current frontrunners?
Who has the best chance to win BB27?
To win Big Brother, you gotta have the numbers. It’s all about the votes. Sure, jurys care about a player’s competition resume and strategic abilities, but friendship often wins out in the end. We’ve seen a few deserving (albeit unlikable) players lose out on a win because their opponent has more friends on the jury.
BB27 is a chaotic bunch, and it’s hard to say what qualities will matter most to them in the end. There are a few players, I believe, who will have a difficult time convincing a jury. And others that I feel completely confident in their win potential.
Let’s unpack it together. Here are the players I believe have the best chance to win BB27.
Ava Pearl
Ava Pearl found herself on the block last week, but she wasn’t in danger of going home. In Katherine’s final plea, she attempted to use Ava’s likability against her, saying she is likely to stay over any houseguest if she finds herself on the block again. It was a good pitch, but it didn’t work. Ava only received one elimination vote from Katherine’s bestie, Lauren Domingue.
I like Ava’s win potential. She’s well-liked in the house and doesn’t seem to be on anyone’s radar. She previously had a bit of a “feud” with Keanu Soto, but their relationship has improved in recent weeks. Her comp record isn’t bad either. She won an HOH competition and used her power to send a huge threat (Zach Cornell) out the door.
Morgan Pope
Morgan Pope’s game has been a bit of a rollercoaster. It started off great. Her bubbly personality and savvy strategic sense bought her an invite to numerous alliances. She worked with the power players in the house, which granted her safety and kept her in the know about major game decisions. However, her game was briefly in danger when she chose to favor her game relationship with Zach and Vince over her relationship with her female allies. Fans accused her of allowing her crush on Zach to cloud her strategic judgement. Thankfully, Morgan proved them wrong. She’s done a lot of good work in recent weeks and is currently well-positioned in the house.
Will Williams
Let’s start off by acknowledging the obvious. Will Williams is an insane name. Ok, moving on. Will had a tough start on BB27. He fell victim to the “Hey, let’s nominate the old guy” curse in the early weeks. The poor man found himself on the block week after week, and while he wasn’t the target, it made it difficult for him to find his footing in the house. The youngsters didn’t take him seriously, expecting him to accept his role as house pawn. But Will wasn’t having it. He fought back, developed relationships with the underdogs, and found a new life in the game.
Rachel Reilly
My Queen! Our returning champ is making us proud. Sure, Rachel Reilly is on everyone’s radar, but I have complete faith she will be able to outsmart these newbies. After all, she’s yet to touch the block despite being a FORMER WINNER. Seriously, how stupid can these new-era players be? Rachel’s played a bold game, and she shows no signs of slowing down. She’s used intimidation tactics on the newbies, which continuously works in her favor. She is a huge target, so her road to victory will be more challenging than some of the aforementioned players, but she’s certainly the most skilled player in the house.
