Big Brother Week 6 spoilers from the live feeds: Who won the Power of Veto?

The drama in the Big Brother 27 house continues to escalate, and Week 6 has delivered another series of major game-changing moments. Rachel Reilly emerged as the Head of Household after winning a competition that many expected to be endurance-based, tying her with Cody for the most HoH wins in U.S. Big Brother history.

With this win, Rachel faced the challenge of deciding who to nominate, ultimately putting Mickey, Morgan, and Vince up for eviction. As the Power of Veto competition approached, the stakes were even higher.

The week also saw the return of OTEV, one of the most iconic competitions in the Big Brother franchise. On August 16, 2025, the live feeds revealed Lauren as the winner of the Veto, setting the stage for the next big decision inside the house.

Big Brother: What went down in the week 6 veto competition

The Week 6 Power of Veto competition in Big Brother 27 featured Rachel as the current Head of Household, joined by the nominees Mickey, Morgan, and Vince, with Lauren and Will also selected to play. With OTEV back in the spotlight, the challenge quickly determined who could keep themselves safe from eviction.

Despite pressure from all sides, Lauren managed to secure the win, marking her second competition victory this season. According to the feeds from August 16, 2025, Lauren outlasted the other players as some contestants made mistakes by giving incorrect answers early in the game.

Her win puts her in a crucial position. Lauren’s closest ally in the house is Vince, and with him sitting on the block, she now has the power to potentially shift the course of the week.

The key question that arose immediately after the competition was whether Lauren would use the Veto to save Vince and, in doing so, expose her alliance with him. Rachel’s HoH strategy further complicated matters, as she did not want to nominate Ava, Will, or Ashley as replacements.

At the same time, nominating Rylie or Katherine could destabilize her game. Kelley also surfaced as a potential option, though this move might weaken Rachel’s standing in the house even further.

As it stands, Lauren must now decide between protecting Vince openly or keeping their alliance under wraps while hoping Rachel will aim her target elsewhere. With Mickey as the apparent target, the Veto decision will play a key role in determining whether Rachel’s plan succeeds or if the week takes another unexpected turn.

Other key events from the Big Brother 27 house

Leading up to the Veto, Rachel’s HoH reign created a ripple effect across the Big Brother 27 house. Initially, Rachel told Keanu she would not put Vince on the block, but her plans shifted as she weighed her options.

On August 16, 2025, she directly warned Keanu to stop running information back to Vince, though he continued to do so regardless. Ultimately, she nominated Mickey, Morgan, and Vince, with Mickey emerging as her primary target.

The aftermath of the nominations was immediate and intense. Mickey told Ava, Will, and Ashley that Rachel “begged” to be sent home during her previous HoH run, also claiming that she had not changed in fifteen years.

The personal nature of Mickey’s remarks raised tensions further inside the house. Meanwhile, Morgan and Vince responded more calmly, which some houseguests believed gave them a stronger chance to survive the week.

As the live feeds continued on August 16, 2025, Rachel was shown mulling her best path forward. She recognized that her strongest allies might be Keanu and Kelley, both of whom had been burned by other players and lacked strong alternative partnerships.

Ava appeared to be working to protect Mickey in conversations with others, which could weaken her bond with Rachel moving forward.
