Overview

• Head of Household Keanu Soto initially nominated Morgan Pope, Vince Panaro, and Mickey Lee; after Morgan used the Power of Veto on herself, Ashley Hollis was named the replacement.
• Vince won the Forensic Frenzy Blockbuster competition to secure safety, leaving Ashley and Mickey as the final eviction options.
• The house voted 6–1 to evict Mickey, with only Vince voting to evict Ashley.
• Host Julie Chen Moonves told the remaining nine that the jury stage has begun, as coverage highlights The Judges alliance as a key bloc.
• Post-eviction, media noted Julie Chen Moonves’ critique of the Vince–Morgan “hugmance,” and spoilers from Big Brother Network report a White Locust twist sent Rachel to jury by a non-vote mechanism and that Lauren won Week 9 HOH, with specifics still unconfirmed.
