Ashley Hollis Wins Big Brother 27

Ashley Hollis, a 25-year-old attorney from New York, won Big Brother Season 27 in a 6-1 jury vote over Vince Panaro to claim the $750,000 grand prize. She secured the final Head of Household after Vince misread instructions in Part 2 of the challenge, which triggered an on-air meltdown, and used the HOH to evict Morgan Pope and bring Vince to the final two. Vince, who earned $75,000 as runner-up, said he is at peace and acknowledged that poor jury management cost him the win, while host Julie Chen Moonves praised Ashley’s social game and final arguments. The finale prompted debate over whether Vince was unfairly punished for playing a classic Big Brother game, and a post-show confirmation that Katherine Woodman and Rylie Jefferies are in a relationship drew mixed reactions from fans.
