Big Brother 27 spoilers: Who’s at risk in week 9’s surprise eviction

Big Brother 27 week 9 is shaping up to be one of the most surprising yet. It was discovered that a significant player, Rachel Reilly, had already been eliminated in a puzzle challenge without voting due to a surprise eviction that was brought on by the enigmatic "Mastermind" twist. The house now turns its attention to the next crucial step as the dust settles.

Ashley Hollis, Will Williams, and Morgan Pope are on the shortlist of candidates for the Head of Household position, which Lauren Domingue has taken on.

The stakes are higher than that, though. Current plans could be entirely destroyed by the ongoing twist mechanisms and a new Power of Veto competition called BB Blockbuster. As the live eviction takes place, there is growing conjecture about who is actually at risk. Week 9 is predicted to sever long-standing ties and cause unforeseen power shifts as alliances and loyalties change.

Nominees & uncertainties — Big Brother 27 contestants in jeopardy

Prior to the night of eviction, each nominee and possible backdoor candidate must carefully consider their position. Although Lauren's HOH choices have already caused a stir in the house, the impending Big Brother Blockbuster twist makes matters more complicated. Nobody feels completely safe because there is a possibility of last-minute changes or new nominees.

Will, Morgan, Ashley, and even competitive powerhouse Keanu Soto all have uncertain futures, and their capacity to survive may depend on how well they do in competition as much as how well they navigate social situations.

Ashley Hollis: Missing a competition lead

Lauren nominated Ashley, who hasn't won a major Head of Household or Veto competition this season. Her lackluster performance in BB Blockbuster thus far has placed her in the sights. Ashley runs the risk of being expendable this week if she is unable to make a calculated change to place herself with the appropriate power players or win the Blockbuster, according to Big Brother Network.

Will Williams: A shadowed game player

Popular, friendly, but silent during strategy sessions, Will is still one of the most mysterious contestants this season. His strategy is based more on likeability than daring moves, and if Keanu Soto skips the Blockbuster or gains more favor, Will might be overlooked, or selected, for eviction. According to CinemaBlend, Will's lack of proactive campaigning may expose him in the final vote count.

Morgan Pope: A target showing early ambition

Alliance watchers have consistently pointed to Morgan as a threat. Her aggressive political actions have not gone ignored, even if she was able to remove herself from the block by winning the Big Brother Veto. According the house dynamics, Morgan would be a good candidate for eviction by power players seeking to crush competition if the Blockbuster doesn't work out for her.

Keanu Soto: Lifeline linked to the blockbuster

Keanu has dodged eviction before, but he’s viewed as the biggest competitive threat in the house, having won many comps already this season. All eyes are on Thursday’s night’s BB Blockbuster: if Keanu can secure it, he’s likely safe; if not, he might end up on the block and become the most probable eviction candidate. Keanu is considered a "game to lose" by analysts if his run comes to an end.

Wrap Up

Lauren has the power with her nominations, but the upcoming Veto and Blockbuster competitions could change everything. Keep an eye on things because this week, the line between staying and leaving depends more on competition wins than social maneuvering. Rachel's shocking elimination upended the dynamics of Week 9, so those who are still in the game need to tread carefully.
