Big Brother 27's broadcast schedule has an unusual halt this week on Sunday, September 7; there wasn't an episode aired because of network preemption for the MTV Video Music Awards. The drama's fans will have to wait a little while longer, but there are exciting things coming.

The midweek return of the show is jam-packed with important developments, such as the announcement of the Power of Veto results, the Week 9 Head of Household results, and the fallout from a surprise removal. Since fans are already talking about the fallout from the Big Twist, which abruptly eliminated a favorite player, Rachel, from the game, this break only serves to increase the level of anticipation.

Even though Sunday might seem like a calculated postponement, it's actually giving everyone a chance to regroup and get ready for one of the most important episodes of the season. This midweek return is sure to be exciting, with alliances on edge, the HOH power in play, and jury dynamics changing quickly. If you don't tune in soon, you could be lost in the frenzy following the twist.


Big Brother 27 midweek return promises crucial HOH revelations

Big Brother 27 will return on Tuesday with the announcement of Week 9's HOH winner, who will now have the power to nominate during the hectic jury phase shift, despite skipping its customary Sunday slot this week. This episode is a must-watch because of the stressful nominations, strategic posturing, and changing power relations.


Why the break and what’s changing

This week, on Sunday, September 7, CBS skipped Big Brother 27 to make room for live coverage of the MTV Video Music Awards and the Emmys on September 14.

Big Brother will make up for this by airing a special double-episode block on September 17 and 18, which will have back-to-back episodes, possibly featuring a double eviction.

The regular Sunday episode is therefore postponed, and the next official episode, which is packed with important gameplay changes intended to change the course leading up to the finale, will be released on Tuesday.


What to expect in the upcoming episode

The much-anticipated announcement of the Week 9 Head of Household competition result, which reorganizes alliances going into the jury phase, will be made available to viewers on Tuesday.

With nominations on the ballot, power struggles underway, and discussions that could influence the jury's future decisions, the Big Brother 27 episode is probably going to highlight the next stage of strategic momentum.

A single HOH win might decide the fate of the $750,000 grand prize, making this midweek return the game's most unpredictable stretch to date. As the house reacts to all the recent discoveries, expect increased suspense, emotional conflicts, and shifting allegiances.


Wrap Up

Although viewers' routines may be disturbed by missing a Sunday show, Big Brother 27's midweek comeback offers even greater rewards. Expect to witness the entire impact of the recent shocks, beginning with the nominations, the pivotal HOH revelation, and the build-up to an exciting double-eviction week. The countdown to the finale has never seemed more urgent, the game is becoming more competitive, and the stakes are rising.


Stay tuned to watch the latest episode of Big Brother 27 on CBS on Tuesday, September 9, 2025.
