Big Brother 27 | Episode 16 | HOH and Nominations | Remote Reality Recap

Published on: 11th August, 2025

Last week Mickey made waves taking out her own ally Jimmy… and THIS week, Ava is serving up bold moves as our new HOH! From awkward bathroom make-outs to secret votes, double dipping drama, and the question of who to nominate (weak or strong game), we break it all down.

Host Lauren is rocking her Gamecocks hat for Will, Ava’s is ruling the house, and the “newbie Big Brother” gameplay gets roasted. Plus — Count Chipula, double-dipping etiquette wars, and the eternal mystery: why are all the best game talks happening in the food storage room and bathroom?
