Big Brother 27 Predictions: The Players Everyone Says Are About to Take It All

We just hit the part of Big Brother where every move suddenly matters twice as much. Welcome to jury time.

Where the game stands now

Thursday, August 28 delivered the last pre-jury eviction: Katherine Woodman is out after a 7-1 vote. That sends her to the pre-jury pile and flips the switch for everyone left. From here on out, every eviction is also a sales pitch. You are not just booting someone; you are creating a juror who might decide your fate on finale night.

BB 101, but worth repeating: winning is about votes in the end. Competition wins and big strategic swings help, sure, but juries often reward the person they like more. We have all watched deserving-but-unpopular players lose to someone with better relationships. And this BB27 cast? Chaotic. Hard to predict what will actually sway them when they are holding those keys.

There is not a single perfect game in this house. Everyone has slipped somewhere. Former frontrunners Vince Panaro and Mickey Lee especially torched a lot of their early equity lately, taking what looked like a smooth path and tossing it in the shredder. Translation: this season is still wide open.

The contenders right now

• Ava Pearl — Ava sat on the block last week but was never really in danger. Katherine tried to flip it in her final plea by turning Ava’s likability into a weapon, arguing that if Ava hits the block again she likely stays over almost anyone. Smart pitch, no traction. Ava pulled just one eviction vote, and that came from Katherine’s closest ally, Lauren Domingue. Big picture: Ava is generally liked, not blipping hot on many radars, and even her early dust-up with Keanu Soto has cooled off. On the resume side, she does have an HOH, and she used it to take out a major threat in Zach Cornell. Quietly sturdy game.
• Morgan Pope — Rollercoaster season. Morgan burst out of the gate, personality-forward and strategically sharp, getting herself invited into multiple alliances and plugged into the real decision-making. Then she hit a rough patch when she leaned toward Zach and Vince over her women allies. Fans read it as a crush coloring the strategy. To her credit, she course-corrected. The recent weeks have been much stronger, and she’s back in a solid spot socially and strategically. If she keeps threading that needle, she is absolutely in the mix.
• Will Williams — Yes, that name is a tongue twister. Also yes, his early game was rough. He got slapped with the classic older-houseguest treatment and became the easy pawn, landing on the block repeatedly even when he wasn’t the target. That makes it hard to build anything. But Will did not roll over. He connected with fellow underdogs, fought through the noise, and found a second life. If he keeps stacking relationships and stays off the block, he is a tougher out than people expected.
• Rachel Reilly — The returning winner who somehow has not touched the block. That alone says a lot about how she is working the house. Everyone knows she is dangerous; she is playing bold, leaning on veteran presence, and yes, using intimidation on the newbies when it suits her. It keeps paying off. The flip side is obvious: Rachel is a huge target, and the endgame will be a gauntlet. Still, if you’re asking who is the most skilled player in there right now, it’s her.

The jury game starts now

This is the inside-baseball part casual viewers miss: jury management is practically half the game from this point on. You have to make cuts without making enemies who stay enemies. With this cast’s mood swings, the person who balances big moves with a decent bedside manner probably wins the whole thing.
