Jimmy Heagerty Evicted from Big Brother 27 in Episode 14 Shocker: Full Recap & Fan Reactions
On August 7, 2025, Big Brother 27 delivered one of its most dramatic blindsides yet when Jimmy Heagerty, the 25-year-old AI consultant from Sarasota, Florida, was evicted in a stunning 9-2 vote. His elimination during Episode 14 came as a shock to fans and houseguests alike especially after a bold run early in the game.
What Led to Jimmy’s Eviction?
Jimmy entered the Hotel Mystère-themed house as a strong early player. A founding member of the Triple Threat alliance with Mickey Lee and Morgan Pope, he made waves when he won Head of Household in Week 2, nominating a whopping five houseguests. But as the weeks passed, Jimmy’s gameplay began to unravel.
His fate was sealed when Mickey Lee, now Head of Household again thanks to the secret “HOH Interrogation” twist, learned Jimmy had been playing both sides of the house. After Keanu Soto saved himself with the Power of Veto (for the third week in a row), Mickey used her power to dethrone Rylie Jeffries and nominate Jimmy as a replacement.
The Vote: 9–2 Breakdown
Despite efforts by Rachel Reilly and Ashley Hollis to keep him, the vote turned heavily against Jimmy:
Voted to Evict Jimmy:
Rylie Jeffries
Morgan Pope
Vince Malone
Zach Harper
Ava Kim
Lauren Domingue
Will Easton
Voted to Keep Jimmy:
Rachel Reilly
Ashley Hollis
The house cited Jimmy’s overconfident strategy, multiple alliances, and lack of trustworthiness as reasons for voting him out.
The Safe Crackers Challenge & Final Moments
In the Week 4 “Safe Crackers” BB Blockbuster challenge, Jimmy battled against fellow nominees Rylie Jeffries and Kelley Jorgensen. Rylie won, securing her safety and leaving Jimmy and Kelley on the block.
His exit was emotional yet composed, reflecting on his strategy, mistakes, and his family—especially his triplet siblings. Fans noted a heartfelt moment when Rachel appeared genuinely heartbroken watching her ally walk out the door.
Exit Interview with Julie Chen Moonves
In his exit chat, Jimmy admitted:
“I came in wanting to play big, and I did. Maybe too big, too soon.”
He acknowledged his trust in Mickey backfired and that he may have underestimated how quickly alliances shift in the Big Brother house.
