Mickey Lee’s Bold Week 4 Move
Mickey Lee Big Brother 27 fans won’t forget Week 4 anytime soon. Her unexpected power play led to the shocking 9-2 eviction of Jimmy Heagerty, a key alliance member. Jimmy Heagerty’s Big Brother 27 journey ended in a shocking 9–2 eviction on August 7, 2025. But who orchestrated the blindside? None other than Mickey Lee, the 35-year-old event curator from Atlanta. Her Week 4 HOH reign turned the “Hotel Mystère” house upside down, with fans divided on X. Some praised her as a “strategic queen” (@BBFan123, August 8), while others warned she’s “playing too hard, too fast” (@RealityRant, August 7).
Mickey’s signature move came when she activated the hidden HOH Interrogation power, a secret twist from the Week 2 “BB Break In” comp. She used it to dethrone Rylie Jeffries, who planned to nominate Mickey herself. When Rylie guessed the wrong powerholder, Mickey seized control, becoming the fourth houseguest in BB history to steal HOH without winning it.
Why She Targeted Jimmy Heagerty
Mickey’s nominations included Rylie, Keanu Soto, and Kelley Jorgensen. But when Keanu won his third consecutive Power of Veto, Mickey named Jimmy Heagerty as the replacement nominee. A risky move, considering he was part of her own Triple Threat alliance.
So why the betrayal?
Jimmy had been playing both sides, aligning secretly with Zach Cornell and others. During Jimmy’s Week 2 HOH, he dismissed Mickey and Morgan’s wishes by nominating Amy Bingham and Will Williams. That decision planted seeds of distrust.
In a key HOH room conversation, Mickey told Morgan, “Jimmy thinks he’s safe, but he’s not running this show” (Soap Dirt, August 7). Her blindside was so shocking that Ashley Hollis even tried to flip her vote at the last minute—only to be shut down by Julie Chen Moonves live on air.

Fallout from the Eviction
The 9–2 vote marked a turning point. Mickey’s influence was undeniable, but it came at a cost. Ashley and Rylie were left blindsided and bitter. Her alliance with Morgan remained intact, but cracks began to show.
Jimmy’s eviction also strengthened Rylie’s resolve. X users are already speculating a revenge arc, with @BBBuzz tweeting, “Mickey’s playing 4D chess, but Rylie’s coming for her” (August 4).
Mickey’s Social Game in Play
What makes Mickey a standout player isn’t just strategy—it’s her social finesse. A Jacksonville native turned Atlanta event curator, she reads people like a pro. Her hospitality skills have helped her navigate drama and build loyalty.
After stealing HOH, she smoothed things over with Rylie by cooking dinner and offering a temporary truce (Soap Dirt, August 2). Her ability to manage emotions and shift narratives has many viewers pegging her as a finalist contender.
Can Mickey Lee Win Big Brother 27?
At 35, Mickey is the fourth-oldest houseguest and one of the most experienced. But younger players like Lauren Domingue (22) could challenge her in future comps. Her risk-taking game has painted a target on her back, and the eviction of Jimmy may either be her biggest power move or her downfall.
If she holds her alliance with Morgan and scores big in physical comps like OTEV, Mickey might just rewrite the BB27 playbook.
