Ava Pearl went from floater to Week 5 Head of Household, though she may end up wishing she never won it by the time that Thursday ends. Ava put up Zach Cornell, Week 1 HOH Vince Panaro, and Keanu Soto for eviction, but with the veto up for grabs, there was always a chance one of them would come down.

Jimmy Heagerty was evicted by a vote of 9-2 on Thursday, August 7, after his ally and friend Mickey Lee put him on the block as a replacement nominee. Later that night, Ava Pearl won the Head of Household competition.

A new Head of Household is ready to shake up the game. Following Thursday's eviction episode, the "Big Brother 27" houseguests competed in an HOH competition. Sign up for Paramount+ Start the day smarter.
