It is lastly time for Huge Brother Season 27 on the 2025 TV schedule, and with the solid plus the icon Rachel Reilly enjoying the sport as we communicate, followers are choosing favorites and making predictions for the “first boot” left and proper. I am not higher than everybody else, and regardless of not watching one second of any of those individuals but on the stay feeds with my Paramount+ subscription, I’ve some sturdy emotions, each good and unhealthy, on a handful of them.
Preseason interview movies are out for every Houseguest (minus Rachel), which provides us an thought of how they intend to play the sport. After all, that does not at all times work out, and as I’ve confirmed time and time once more in interviews with Houseguests over time, every part can change when you’re really in the home enjoying Huge Brother. Even so, I’ve three gamers I am feeling good about headed into this season, and three I believe are going to be in peril proper from the leap. Let’s discuss all of them!
Ashley Hollis – Good
I am unsure I’ve ever felt extra bullish a few Houseguest pregame than I’ve Ashley Hollis. The younger lawyer stated all the appropriate issues in her pregame interview by way of technique, and naturally, plans on telling nobody about her true occupation. Her background in pageants will possible assist her be diplomatic with different Houseguests, and she or he simply offers off likable vibes. I am positive lots of people will need her of their fold when alliances begin forming up. Within the premiere I assumed it was good that she volunteered to play for HOH for Jimmy Heagerty, and I really feel I can see the beginnings of an alliance between these two.
One other main plus for Ashley is that she is outwardly a longtime buddy of BB23 Houseguest Hannah Chaddha. Hannah famous on Instagram that they have been mates since preschool, so I am positive she had some tricks to go alongside to her buddy forward of the sport. Whereas some readers could bear in mind Hannah extra for her hammock damage or the failed showmance with Derek Xiao, she had and nonetheless has an awesome thoughts for technique. If she handed even a few of that onto her buddy, Ashley can be off to a robust begin within the sport.
Adrian Rocha – Unhealthy
Adrian Rocha is brimming with confidence in his preseason video, which makes me really feel like Huge Brother Season 27 goes to hit him like a ton of bricks the second the sport will get rolling. A younger Houseguest of their early twenties who thinks they’ve the sport all found out and can dominate as soon as they get in the home? The place have I seen this earlier than?
Any such Houseguest has popped up a number of instances in BB, with Matt Hardeman from Season 26 being the latest instance. Matt was so assured he was operating the sport that he forgot he wasn’t the Head of Family in Week 1 and ended up beginning a feud with then-HOH Angela Murray that led to his fast exit. I additionally really feel like Adrian has the identical power as Season 10’s Jessie Godderz, who was doing absolutely the most proper out of the gate. Lo and behold, he got here ridiculously near profitable not one however two competitions within the premiere, and I assure a couple of individual clocked that. He is off to a foul begin by way of establishing him as a comp risk.
Clifton “Will” Williams – Good
Males over the age of fifty in Huge Brother are sometimes a crapshoot. It may be exhausting for them to heat as much as a home full of individuals many years youthful than them, however for each Kenney Kelley and Steve Arienta that went residence pre-jury, there is a Cliff Hogg and Jerry MacDonald who had a deep run even when they did not stand an awesome probability at profitable.
Clifton “Will” Williams appears to be like like a charismatic man, and his job podcasting about girls’s basketball offers him a scorching matter to debate that is very a lot within the mainstream. I believe he’ll construct bridges and alliances a lot simpler than different Houseguests his age, although I do marvel if his navy background, which he retains harping on within the Diary Room could also be offputting to different Houseguest and so they’ll label him as uptight. He does not seem to be that sort of individual to me, however we’ll simply have to attend and see!
Ava Pearl – Unhealthy
Ava Pearl has jumped out as a quick favourite for the net neighborhood on X, with tons of viral tweets about loving her power. I will admit, Ava looks like she’ll create good tv, with threats to take anybody all the way down to get the cash that she “desperately wants” to afford to proceed residing in New York Metropolis as an aura painter.
The issue is, I really feel like Ava offers off the power of somebody who’s a little bit offbeat and can have hassle becoming into any alliance. By her personal admission, she additionally stated her largest weak point was conserving her perspective in examine. I really feel like anybody who has sufficient self-awareness in life to acknowledge that as a weak point is likely to be underselling how a lot of an issue it may be, and if she makes sufficient noise early on, Houseguests would possibly simply band collectively to get her out quite than be subjected to a season of chaotic fights. She was in a position to maintain her perspective in examine within the Huge Brother Season 27 premiere, however bear in mind, it is the primary evening.
Jimmy Heagerty – Good
Jimmy Heagerty’s pregame interview sounds nearly like Adrian Rocha’s in some areas, however I really feel like he is higher at reining in his confidence that he’ll win the sport. He additionally appears to know the significance of being somebody who can maintain a traditional dialog about life and never be 100% about sport discuss from begin to end.
Huge Brother is a sport, so you possibly can’t actually go in and never focus on technique. On the similar time, Houseguests who solely wish to discuss sport are sometimes seen as threats, and I believe somebody who’s made their manner in life as an AI advisor is aware of the right way to stability technique and being personable nicely sufficient. Working example, I believe the way in which he dealt with choosing gamers for the HOH was very calculated but in addition conscious. I believe he is already established belief with a number of gamers and is off to an awesome begin.
Rylie Jeffries – Unhealthy
When watching the Huge Brother interviews, there was one Houseguest who regarded just like the sq. peg of the bunch by a large margin. Rylie Jeffries is the lone skilled bull-rider in a home full of individuals, lots of whom work with computer systems, and I believe he’ll have a tough time referring to individuals early on due to that. He stands out like a sore thumb, to the purpose that when you had been enjoying Guess Who? with this solid, you possibly can knock him off the board instantly by asking if the individual had a cowboy hat.
Whereas I give Rylie factors for saying he is going into the sport as his genuine self, I knock extra off as a result of his technique thrives on being a “follower.” Whereas I believe there’s worth in realizing when to carry again, the times of being a follower in trendy Huge Brother are largely over, with majority alliances not forming till later within the sport. Season 27 Houseguests should show their worthiness of conserving in an alliance, I really feel, and I am unsure if his technique to comply with and throw goes to make him a lovely piece.
Huge Brother Season 27 is definitely already underway. I am prepared for a season of surprising twists and turns, and hopefully a few of these Houseguests shock me in a manner I did not anticipate. In equity, I used to be fairly unhealthy at choosing the winner final season, so for all I do know, certainly one of these individuals would be the confederate and found earlier than anybody is eradicated.
