LOS ANGELES (August 25, 2025) - Head of Household Vince Panaro claimed his second HOH title of Season 27 by outlasting Katherine Woodman in the grueling “Mystère Express” Wall competition, marking the first time in BB27 history a Wall comp has stretched past the one-hour mark.

Following Rylie Jeffries’ narrow 5-4 eviction in Week 6, Panaro and Woodman were the last two standing. Woodman, intent on avenging Jeffries’ ouster, refused any deal and finally fell at 1 hour and 14 minutes, handing Panaro the HOH key.

At yesterday’s nomination ceremony, Panaro placed three houseguests on the block: veteran competitor Ava Pearl, recent Blockbuster champion Mickey Lee, and five-time nominee Kelley Jorgensen. He justified nominating Pearl as a logical target, labeled Lee “incredibly dangerous,” and told Jorgensen they needed to discuss his decision further, leaving all three visibly startled by their inclusion on the block.

In live‐feed developments from last night’s Power of Veto competition, Lee emerged victorious-forcing Panaro to name a replacement nominee. Panaro now faces a critical decision: backdoor another strong player like Katherine Woodman or use the opportunity to retaliate against a past ally, notably former HOH Rachel Reilly.

With nominations set and the Veto ceremony looming, alliances on both sides of the house are bracing for what could be one of the season’s biggest game‐shifting moments to date.
