The Pausecast

We're pausing during the finale of Big Brother S27 (Sept. 28, 2025). The night starts with a final three of Ashley, Morgan and Vince; it ends with a stunner, Ashley winning it all. We break down our thoughts on Ashley, the winner, and whether the jury got it right. Was it a bitter jury? Were any of the votes a surprise? We then evaluate how to contextualize the scope of Ashley's game and how it will be compared to other Big Brother players. Oh, and a podcast favorite takes home America's Favorite Player in a landslide. We go from four players down to the final three. In a condensed Big Brother episode, everyone has Morgan on the mind. Vince, finally, has realized that she's the favorite to win the whole game, but is there a path for him to get her out? A house meeting is also called by Ava right before the eviction. We close the episode by saying goodbye to our 4th-place finisher and predicting who each of the final three will take with them to finale night. Spoiler: everyone takes Vince.

We're pausing during Big Brother S27 E37 (Sept. 25, 2025). We go from four players down to the final three. In a condensed Big Brother episode, everyone has Morgan on the mind. Vince, finally, has realized that she's the favorite to win the whole game, but is there a path for him to get her out? A house meeting is also called by Ava right before the eviction.

We're pausing during Big Brother S27 E36 (Sept. 24, 2025). We're down to just five players and Vince's HOH decision will be the ultimate swing factor in his game. Keanu's game is fighting for its life as Ashley and Ava try to find a path forward where Morgan isn't standing in their way. The most important Veto competition of the summer, to this point, could change everything. With the Mastermind's Month of Mayhem continuing, another houseguest is evicted as we say goodbye to our 5th-place finisher. Then, we conclude by power ranking the final four competitors of the season.

We're pausing during Big Brother S27 E31 (Sept. 11, 2025). Will Lauren's HOH be a success no matter who goes home? She thinks so, we don't. One nominee steamrolls through the BB Blockbuster to save their game and it gives hosts Ashley and Tyler renewed hope for the remainder of the season. This episode certainly set the tone for the remainder of the season. We say goodbye to our 8th-place finisher and our second jury member. Plus, it's eviction night so it's a game of Good Week/ Bad Week.

We're pausing during Big Brother S27 E30 (Sept. 10, 2025). For how shocking Rachel's elimination was, there wasn't much fallout. A new HOH is crowned and has to nominate three houseguests with only seven options left. It's also time for the iconic BB Comics, which left us stunned that one noted Big Brother superfan threw it. A bad move, by the way, given their intentions. All of it sets up for potentially one of the biggest backdoor moves of the summer.

We're pausing during Big Brother S27 E29 (Sept. 9, 2025). Caution: Major spoilers in this episode. Big Brother unveils a brand new twist, with an ode to an older season. We give our thoughts on the White Locust resort. Witness the 9th-place finisher sent to the Jury house without a single vote cast to evict. After the fallout of this backyard twist, we play Stock up/ Stock down with the houseguests based on the elimination.

We're pausing during Big Brother S27 E27 (Sept. 4, 2025). We are still reeling from the Veto Ceremony and the fallout of Ashley's speech, turned fight with Keanu. Neither of us is impressed and believes it will hurt Rachel's game in the long run. A blockbuster is fought and hosts Tyler and Ashley are thrilled with the winner. Then, we say goodbye to the 10th-place houseguest. Plus, a game of Good Week/ Bad Week for all the Big Brother houseguests.

We're pausing during Big Brother S27 E25 (Aug. 31, 2025). A new HOH is crowned and their approach for the upcoming week is a refreshing change. We also enter a new chapter in the Rachel-Keanu 'frienemy' alliance as both sides try to salvage their relationship. It also appears Vince's game has unequivocally caught up to him after weeks of not owning his moves. Plus, a game of "Stock Up/ Stock Down" for all the Big Brother houseguests.

We're pausing during Big Brother S27 E24 (Aug. 28, 2025). A houseguest gets evicted. Time to say goodbye to the 11th-place finisher. Was this week great for Vince's game or a "Kat-astrophe"? How many times can Vince get away with burning bridges before he gets stuck on the wrong side of the river? Plus, a game of "Good week/ Bad week" for all the Big Brother houseguests.

We're pausing during Big Brother S27 E22 (Aug. 24, 2025). Some competitors are taking Rylie's eviction far harder than others, which has led to others questioning alliances. Then, it's the famed wall competition for HOH - one of the better wall comps we've had in a while - at a crucial point in the game. The winner then leaves us with some decisions that have us unconvinced of the direction of their game. Plus, the latest stock-up, stock-down for all the Big Brother players.

We're pausing during Big Brother S27 E19 (Aug. 17, 2025). There's the aftermath of Zach's eviction from Thursday, leading up to a killer HOH competition that completely sways the power in the house. And in response, some players need to check their egos if they want to stay in this game. Are the nominees the right choice for the HOH? Plus, the latest stock-up, stock-down for all the Big Brother players.
