Curious whether Mickey or Rylie is Big Brother’s new HOH in Week 4? After a competitive Killer Carnival challenge and a surprise power shake-up, fans were left wondering who would ultimately take control of the house. With Mickey’s secret advantage in play, the Week 4 HOH title didn’t stay where it started.
Here’s what happened in the Week 4 HOH competition and how Mickey changed the game.
Who won Big Brother Week 4’s HoH and became the new Head of Household?
Rylie Jeffries won the Week 4 Head of Household competition on Big Brother 27, completing the final round of the “Killer Carnival” HOH contest with a time of 17.62 seconds.
He beat Zach Cornell, who clocked in at 24.75 seconds, and Jimmy Heagerty, who failed to beat Zach’s time. Rylie’s victory gave the minority alliance a strategic advantage after Adrian Rocha’s 8-4 eviction.
The competition began with 13 eligible houseguests, divided into three groups of four, with Kelley Jorgensen automatically advancing. Keanu Soto won the first round and eliminated Will Williams, Ashley Hollis, Morgan Pope, and Mickey Lee. Rylie’s group, consisting of Zach and Jimmy, won the second round, sending six more players home and securing spots in the final.
After Rylie won HOH, Mickey Lee activated her HOH Interrogation power to dethrone him and question each houseguest in secret temporarily. The twist gave Rylie three minutes per player to identify who used the advantage. Vince Panaro and Lauren Domingue pointed to Mickey, while Zach Cornell and Jimmy Heagerty believed it was Ashley. Rachel Reilly diverted suspicion by suggesting the mystery player could be America.
Rylie guessed Ashley was the power holder. After the incorrect guess, Mickey revealed herself as the true HOH and removed Rylie from power. When Rylie confronted her and claimed she acted out of fear, Mickey stayed calm and told him to accept the outcome as part of the game. Rylie had planned to nominate Mickey, Morgan Pope, and Ashley. Several houseguests already knew about his plan.
Mickey’s move secured safety for her and her allies. She officially became the new Head of Household for Week 4 after using the secret power.
