Tension escalated in Big Brother season 27 episode 14 as the Triple Threat alliance fractured following a nomination decision by Head of Household (HOH) Mickey Lee. Her choice to renominate fellow ally Jimmy Heagerty resulted in his eviction after a 9-2 vote in the August 7 episode.

Despite last-minute efforts by some houseguests to shift the outcome, Jimmy was blindsided. A significant moment happened when Ashley attempted to change her vote live, but host Julie Chen Moonves denied her request, stating, “No, no, no, no.” The episode confirmed both the eviction and the beginning of a major shift in house dynamics.

Episode 14 of Big Brother season 27 began with Mickey needing to choose a replacement nominee after Keanu won safety for the third consecutive week. Mickey considered nominating Vince or Jimmy, but ultimately decided to put up Jimmy on the block. Her decision stemmed from learning that Jimmy had been making connections with houseguests outside of their alliance.

This placed Jimmy alongside Kelley Jorgensen and Rylie Jeffries on the nomination list.

While Mickey believed her move of replacing the nominee would protect her standing, it immediately caused concern within her alliance. Rachel, Ashley, and Will questioned Mickey’s loyalty, noting that Morgan and Vince may have influenced her choice and weakened trust among their group.

The three nominees competed in the “Safe Crackers” challenge for one final chance to save themselves. The challenge required them to guide three balls through a maze with tipping obstacles. Rylie completed the task first, securing his safety and removing himself from the block.

With Rylie now safe, Jimmy and Kelley remained as the final nominees. In the moments leading to the live eviction, Rachel campaigned to save Jimmy, stating that his presence could benefit their gameplay.

Jimmy also made emotional appeals to other houseguests, referencing his family and asking for another chance in the game. Kelley focused on remaining neutral and emphasized her reliability as a houseguest.

When it was time to vote, nine Big Brother houseguests, including Morgan, Rylie, Keanu, Katherine, Vince, Will, Ava, Zach, and Lauren, voted to evict Jimmy. Only Rachel and Ashley cast votes to evict Kelley. Before her vote, Rachel persuaded Ashley to support Jimmy. However, upon realizing Will voted differently, Ashley regretted her decision.

In a live moment unprecedented in the show’s history, Ashley returned to the Diary Room and requested to change her vote. Host Julie Chen Moonves firmly denied the request, telling her, “No, no, no, no.” Jimmy’s eviction was finalized with a 9-2 vote.

During his Big Brother exit interview, Jimmy expressed surprise that Katherine did not vote to save him. He explained that Mickey may have misjudged his intentions and never allowed him to clarify his position. He attributed the decision more to Morgan, stating that her influence had a greater impact on his eviction than Mickey’s actions.

Jimmy concluded that his loyalty to the Triple Threat alliance was genuine and that he would have stayed committed until the end. He remarked that Vince, Morgan, and Zach are currently leading the game and maintaining control, suggesting a power shift that will likely impact upcoming episodes.
