BB27 Roundtable Week 5 Welcome to RHAP’s official Big Brother 27 episode recap podcast! Whether you’re a seasoned Big Brother viewer or a newcomer to the show, Rob Has a Podcast promises to be your go-to source for in-depth analysis, daily Live Feed updates, and exclusive interviews with the houseguests themselves. Each Monday night, Taran Armstrong (@ArmstrongTaran) and Melissa Deni (@itsmelissaaa) will be joined by a rotating guest to discuss the past week in Big Brother 27. After running down all of the latest advancements, they’ll rate and rank the houseguests to update the weekly Stockwatch. Today, Taran, Melissa, and Aysha Welch talk through week 5 of Big Brother 27. Taran Armstrong, Melissa Deni, and Aysha Welch dissect the latest gameplay in the Big Brother 27 house on this week’s Roundtable, featuring the Stockwatch. The house is reeling from Ava’s HOH reign, which saw her nominate Keanu, Zach, and Vince for eviction. Zach’s baffling decision not to use his $10,000 veto power dominates the discussion. The panel struggles to comprehend his choice, with Aysha questioning when “$10,000 became worth more than $750,000.” This move could drastically alter the game’s trajectory. Taran, Melissa, and Aysha discuss: – Ava’s nomination strategy drawing comparisons to Jessica Milagros’ HOH in BB21 – Rachel’s social game taking a hit after clashing with Morgan – Rylie’s unexpectedly strong position despite minimal strategic gameplay – Will’s under-the-radar approach keeping him safe but limiting win equity The houseguests continue to make perplexing decisions, with even strong players stumbling. Rachel’s confrontation with Morgan may have damaged her previously strong position, while Mickey’s post-HOH behavior raises eyebrows. The panel debates whether Keanu’s improved social game can save him from eviction. As the week progresses, the power dynamics remain fluid. Will Zach’s gamble to keep his veto power pay off, or has he sealed his fate? Can Rachel recover from her recent missteps? The unpredictable nature of this cast keeps everyone guessing as Big Brother 27 barrels towards another pivotal eviction. 00:00 Welcome to RHAP Roundtable 02:43 Ashley’s game position 05:35 Ava’s HOH performance 10:17 Katherine’s veto decision 13:22 Keanu on the block 16:58 Kelley’s quiet week 20:45 Lauren losing allies 24:35 Mickey’s pseudo power trip 29:31 Morgan’s tanking game 34:35 Rachel’s tenuous influence 38:26 Rylie’s unexpected charm 41:08 Vince’s campaign struggles 45:06 Will’s agreeable strategy 49:40 Zach’s power blunder 53:28 Stock Watch ratings begin Never miss a minute of RHAP’s extensive Big Brother coverage!

BB27 Thursday Eviction Ep Recap w/ Britney Haynes, Week 4 Welcome to RHAP’s official Big Brother 27 episode recap podcast! Whether you’re a seasoned Big Brother viewer or a newcomer to the show, Rob Has a Podcast promises to be your go-to source for in-depth analysis, daily Live Feed updates, and exclusive interviews with the houseguests themselves. Rob Cesternino and Taran are joined by Big Brother and The Traitors alum, Britney Hayes, to discuss the Thursday eviction episode of Big Brother 27. Big Brother 27 delivers another dramatic eviction night, with Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong breaking down all the action. Joined by BB12 and BB14 alum Britney Haynes, the trio dissects Jimmy’s lackluster exit and the chaotic aftermath that followed. The episode’s biggest shock came during the live vote, when Ashley cast her vote for Kelly in a moment of confusion, then attempted to re-enter the diary room to change it. This unprecedented move left Julie Chen Moonves visibly flustered. Meanwhile, Rachel worked overtime trying to flip votes at the last minute, whispering to houseguests even as they lined up to vote. Despite her efforts, Jimmy was evicted in a 9-2 vote. The panel discuss: • Ashley’s confused vote and failed attempt to change it • Rachel’s aggressive last-minute campaigning • Jimmy’s underwhelming final speech and Miley Cyrus shoutout • Concerns over the seemingly one-sided Riley/Catherine showmance • Mickey’s questionable HOH decisions targeting an ally The house dynamics continue to shift, with Rachel and Ashley now on the outs. Rob and Taran speculate that Mickey may face backlash for her HOH choices, particularly from Ava. Britney expressed frustration with the recent trend of houseguests respecting the HOH’s wishes, arguing it goes against optimal gameplay strategy. With a new HOH competition looming, the power is once again up for grabs. Rob, Taran, and Britney hope for a Rachel win to shake up the house and potentially bring back some “old school” Big Brother drama. Don’t miss a moment of the strategy and drama – listen to the full episode for deeper insights into the evolving Big Brother 27 game. Preorder Taran’s book here!
