Big Brother Live Season Finale

THE STORY SO FAR! We started with sixteen new players, added a veteran, formed up a coalition of Judges, faced down a MasterMind, and now we’re here, with three of said Judges – attorney Ashley Hollis, funemployed Vince Panaro, and gamer Morgan Pope – ready to make their case for the $750,000 and the title of champion of Big Brother 27!
As a reminder, the jury going into Sunday’s show (or rather, Friday’s show, is Rachel, Will, Kelley, Lauren, Keanu, and the recently evicted Ava.
DAY 80, fresh off of voting out Ava, the final three celebrate making it to the end. But the celebration is short-lived, because…
FINAL HOH COMPETITION PART 1: Locate the Lair. Stay on flying, spinning, steaming, and buzzing aircrafts for as long as possible. Last one left moves on to part 3.
- WINNER: Morgan Pope (final time, 53 minutes, 25 seconds).
Before we go to Part 2, Cody Calafiore heads to the Jury House to talk about the final three.
FINAL HOH COMPETITION PART 2: Unmask the MasterMind. Ashley & Vince will zipline through billboards and then reassemble them as a puzzle displaying the faces of six houseguests and, perhaps most notably, the MasterMind himself. From those faces, you’ll get a passcode based off the order they left the game. The faces.. Will, Amy, Keanu, Rachel, Jimmy, and Mickey.
- WINNER: Ashley Hollis
As for the MasterMind, he is revealed as none other than… DR. WILL KIRBY. “I was framed!” Tell it to the judges.
LIVE FINAL HOH COMPETITION PART 3: Perjury Duty. A classic game of true/false with the Jury. Most points wins.
- WINNER: Ashley Hollis, 4-3
This is the first and perhaps most opportune time that the power has landed in her lap. She is essentially choosing who she wants to sit next to in the Final Judgment.
FINAL EVICTION: As a reminder, the only vote that matters is Ashley’s.
- EVICTED: Morgan Pope
FINAL JUDGMENT: Keanu asks Vince about emotionally manipulating the players and “horrible jury management”. Rachel asked Ashley about her best social game. Kelley asked Vince about the sincerity of his lying and crying. Will referred to Ashley using Rachel as a shield. Was she just riding coattails? Lauren offered Vince the opportunity to differentiate his game from Morgan’s. Ava gave Ashley the same opportunity. Morgan asks Vince what the strongest part of his game was.
Closing arguments: Ashley referred to “ShowerGate” and reminded them that even after that she was able to remain on the block week after week. She purposefully annoyed to create a small target on her back. She uses her nuance as an attorney to argue that she knew what she was doing all along, revealing to one and all that yes, she is an attorney. Vince says he came into the house with little confidence so he could highlight his competition wins as a triumph. He numbered all his nominations and how many of them went home. He took full responsibility for his actions saying he lied, and put blood, sweat, and tears into the game playing the way it was meant to be played.
After the votes and mini-reunion of the first eight to be evicted (C-Note: Don’t feel bad, I don’t remember them either), Julie had one more secret…
… and it turns out that Dr. Will wasn’t exactly wrong when he said he was framed. The MasterMind was a shared hive mind of sorts… Jessie “Mr. PEC-tacular” Godderz wanted revenge for the Coup d’Etat, Frankie Grande wanted revenge for a twist of his own making, and Eric Stein wanted revenge for being taken out by “America’s Player”. Their shared mantra: if you can’t beat a twist, become one.
FINAL REVEAL: Before we unveil the winner, Taylor beat Derrick in the Big Brother Unlocked fantasy draft.
Now to business. The vote to win $750,000 is FOUR.
- Morgan: VINCE
- Ava: ASHLEY
- Keanu: ASHLEY
- Lauren: ASHLEY
- Kelley: ASHLEY
By a vote of 6-1, ASHLEY HOLLIS WINS BIG BROTHER 27!
As for America’s Favorite Houseguest, the top 3 voted were… Will, Keanu, and Rachel. The winner… Keanu Soto! That gives him $50,000!
And that’s all we got. Until next summer, remember… to expect the unexpected!
“Big Brother” will return summer 2026. |

Next Gen Chef Season Finale
by Chico Alexander
@DinoRAlexander
Netflix: Season 1 available
Host: Olivia Culpo with KElsey Barnard Clark & Carlton McCoy
 |
|
We started our Culinary Institute of America journey with 21 young chefs. Now we’re down to three – Andrew Sargent, Courtney Evans, and Ilke Schaaf. By the end of the hour, one of them will be a half-millionaire Next Gen Chef with the right to hoist the champion’s plate.
Time for the Final Exam.
FINAL EXAM: Create a themed four-course meal for 70 very influential diners. Like the CIA’s Capstone Exam, you are to incorporate your personal stories. You have six hours to prep and two hours to serve tomorrow.
Among the diners… the one and only president of the CIA, Dr. Tim Ryan, and the chair of the Board of Trustees of the CIA and the most influential chef in American history… Thomas Keller.
You will have help in the form of sous-chefs… two chefs that were eliminated from the competition.
Because Courtney has four Pins of Excellence, she will have the advantage of picking her brigade first.
- COURTNEY: Nikki, Javauneeka
- Courtney picks ILKE to choose next: Joaquin, Abby
- ANDREW: London, Sidney
MENU
- ANDREW themes his dishes around his family: Herb Crusted Fairy Tale Eggplant with Heirloom Tomatoes & Summer Squash Squash, Butter Poached Halibut with Pommes Puree & Chicken Fried Leeks, Dad’s Fajitas (Grilled NY Strip, Sweet Onion Soubise & Pepper Gastrique), Cornbread Tres Leches Gateau with Peach Marmalade & Toasted Pecans
- ILKE themes her dishes around her journey with food so far, from Afrikaner Namibia to the middle of Georgia: Braai Broodjies Tart with Cheddar Cheese, Peach Chutney, Tomato & Onion, Red Rice Risotto with Shrimp, Braised Short Rib with Potato Pave & Salad Lyonnaise, Ricotta Olive Oil Cake with Lemon Mascarpone & Black Truffle
- COURTNEY’s dishes revolves around finding her voice through southern food: Watermelon Gazpacho with Fried Anchovies & Pickled Watermelon Rind, Grilled Carrot with Carrot Chili & Duqqa Spice, Seared Ribeye with Bone marrow, Grit Cake & Smoked Oyster Sauce, Brown Butter Biscuit, Peaches & Roasted corn Semifreddo.
Also at the Chef’s Table… Grant Achatz, Harold Dieterle, Paul Carmichael, Emma Bengtsson, and Anne Burrell (rest in peace).
Our chefs have gone as far as they will go on their own power. Now it’s up to the judges to determine who wins the $500,000, the Champions Plate, and the title of Next Gen Chef.
After 21 days at the CIA… The winner…
… of Next Gen Chef…
… the $500,000…
… and the Champions Plate…
… is. ..
…
…
…
…….
… ANDREW SARGENT!
Seven episodes of "Next Gen Chef" are available right now on Netflix.

dancer/choreographer
playing for Muscular Dystrophy Association |
Derek Hough
TV host/judge/choreographer
playing for Feeding America |
Bruno Tonioli
TV personality/judge
playing for Project Angel Food |
GAME 1’s first Tossup – SONG TITLE. Bruno… errm…. WE DON’T TALK ABOUT BRUNO, no no no… He’s up to $1000.
Second Tossup is PHRASE. Derek is FOOTLOOSE AND FANCY-FREE for $2000 and control.
$5000 ROUND: TECH TALK. Derek goofs on an E. Bruno spins Bankrupt. Jenna loses an S. Derek… repeats the S. Bruno and Jenna both blunder. Back to Derek, who … can’t do anything with it. Bruno solves UNPLUG IT AND PLUG IT BACK IN for the $5000 bonus.
$10,000 ROUND: BEFORE & AFTER. Bruno loses $1000 off of a Bankrupt. Jenna misses an M. Derek hits the other Bankrupt. Bruno blops a B. Jenna solves JOINED AT THE HIP HIP HOORAY for $13,500! Everybody’s got money.
TRIPLE TOSSUP is A NUMBER’S GAME…
- Derek says IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO for $5000.
- Jenna does THE TEXAS TWO-STEP for $5000.
- Derek doesn’t have TWO LEFT FEET.
So far, Jenna leads with $18,500, Derek has $12,000, and Bruno has $6000.
$20,000 ROUND: MOST LIKELY TO… Derek hits the Million, but misses an L. Bruno misses an S. Jenna loses her turn. Derek hits the Bankrupt, giving up the Million. Bruno then loses 400 on Bankrupt. Jenna loses 550 on the same Bankrupt! Damn… Derek solves BE EJECTED FROM THE GAME to win a total of $33,300! Jenna does have $18,500 for this half, while Bruno has $6000. Remember to enter the puzzle at WheelofFortune.com for a shot at a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas.
BONUS WHEEL: Derek chooses from Phrase, Thing, and Person. He goes with… THING. Given the *** wedge, the standard six, and HMD A…
E _ _ _ / _ A _ L
It was truly an EPIC FAIL as he loses out on $75,000.
Let’s play two…
Tossup #1 is Song Lyrics. Bruno gets LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE BOY for $1000.
Tossup#2 is What Are You Wearing?. Jenna gets CHEETAH-PRINT SWIM TRUNKS for $2000 and control.
$5000 ROUND: BEFORE & AFTER. Jenna thought she had a perfecto with “Singin’ in the Rain in The Parade”. Not quite. Derek solves SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN ON MY PARADE for $6700.
$10,000 ROUND: MOVIE QUOTE. Derek gets the Million Dollar Wedge again, but misses on an H. Bruno loses his turn. Jenna gets a$3500 hit… but can’t capitalize. Derek blunders on an F. Bruno misses a U. Jenna hits Bankrupt. Derek solves BY ALL MEANS MOVE AT A GLACIAL PACE for $13,350. So far, he’s got all the money with $20,050.
TRIPLE TOSSUP is RISKY BUSINESS.
- Bruno shouldn’t be TEXTING AND DRIVING…
- Derek shouldn’t be TEXING AND WALKING…
- … or TEXTING YOUR EX.
So far, Derek has $30,050. Bruno has $6000. Jenna is on $2000.
$20,000 SPEED-UP ROUND: PHRASE. Derek’s got the Final Spin of… $1500. Jenna solves YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP for just the bonus money, putting her at $40,500 for the night. Bruno leaves with the $30,000 house minimum. But Derek and his $63,800 are going to…
MILLION DOLLAR BONUS WHEEL: Derek’s categories… Phrase, What Are You Doing?, and Fun & Games. He goes with PHRASE. With the standard six, the second A in AMERICA’S, and ADHC…
H _ _ S / A L L
A R _ _ N D
… sadly, no HUGS ALL AROUND, as he loses out on…. $25,000. But still, MDA gets $63,800.
The Million Dollar Wedge was in… M in GAME. |

Inside: USA Premiere

Netflix: Sunday
Hosts: Roberto "Fanum" Gonzalez & Rachell "Valkyrae" Hofstetter with the Sidemen
  |

Last time, Sketch was eliminated, and an Insider Auction gave Bre immunity but cut the prize budget in half. Now the Insiders are casting their vote to eliminate from the almost-$500,000 prize.
Max, Bri, & Fannita have one vote each.
ELIMINATED: Max, 5-2-1-1.
Fannita can’t help but giggle. She wants one of the girls to win.
The vote totals have been made public, but not the votes themselves. Cue the dramatic paranoia.
In the store, the next challenge.
CHALLENGE: Keep It Up. Here are two balloons. From now on, do not let the balloons touch the floor. You will be charged 20K per balloon that touches the floor. If both balloons touch the floor, the game ends.
- SUCCESS: Free meal upgrade
Zach celebrates by having “an Inside Wedding” with Sydney… who left him for his “best man” Mark. OUCH.
The phone rings, giving whoever answered it $5000 from the prize fund for themselves. Zach picks up the phone and claims the money. He also gets a handmade apology card from Sydney, aww…
Phone again… Bre has to take an Insider to the Temptation Room. She goes with Aisha. They see EKin get exposed for her lying.
ANOTHER call… Bre is getting a 15-minute massage.
Ekin gets to take another Insider to the Temptation Room… It’s Aisha again. While she’s there, the plan is in place to get her out. Meanwhile, Ekin & Aisha learn that Fannita spent the cash for Immunity.
AGAIN? Mark has to take an Insider of same gender to room 19. He chooses Zach. “You must be handcuffed to each other until further notice.”
AGAIN?! Fannita will receive $10,000 to keep for herself.
And Dwight is sleeping through all of this. Damn, Unc.
PHONE! Fannita has to collect an outfit form the store to be worn until further notice. It’s a burger.
Unc ultimately wakes up. Ekin answers another phone, directing all Insiders to the Living Room.
CHALLENGE: Eight Envelopes. There are eight envelopes. You must agree to open two of them, but only when Valkyrae says so.
- They choose #2 and #5…. Aisha is the 5th highest spender. Fannita is a 2nd highest spender. As a result of this information… they are BOTH up for elimination. And the voting begins… RIGHT NOW.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Season 1 of “Inside: USA” is now available in its entirety on Netflix. Another recap follows Monday. |
