Big Brother Season 27: A Bittersweet Farewell for Will
Big Brother season 27 made a strong return on September 11, 2025, with an episode that left fans emotional and reflective. The show featured one of its most memorable moments as Will was evicted from the house after receiving three votes against him. His departure marked the end of a compelling journey, as he had been competing alongside his close ally, Ashley, who narrowly avoided elimination with only two votes in favor of her exit.
Keanu, who was the third nominee on the block, managed to avoid the threat of eviction by winning the BB Block Buster competition earlier in the episode. This victory granted him immunity, allowing him to stay in the game while others faced the possibility of being sent home.
With Will’s exit, week nine of the CBS series saw the gradual unraveling of the Judges’ alliance, leading to the removal of two of its members. Rachel Reilly was the first to be evicted, followed by Will, both of whom sparked intense reactions from viewers. Many fans believed that the White Locust twist played a significant role in their eliminations, suggesting that both could have potentially survived without it.
Will's departure was particularly emotional for fans, who took to social media to express their admiration for his character and contributions to the show. Many praised him for being genuine, authentic, and a true standout in the competition.
One fan shared, “Will was without a doubt one of the most delightful people we got to watch this season, and I’m sad to see him go. Don’t forget that this all stems back from the White Locust Resort.”
Another fan wrote, “Thank you Will. Thank you for all that you did to entertain us this season. Thank you for your authenticity, cam talks, and just being a great human. You probably don’t leave tonight if White Locust doesn’t happen but that’s for another post.”
Fans also highlighted Will’s impact on the game, with one user commenting, “Pop Pop is genuinely one of the best male castings ever. I will always have an appreciation for the standard he set. I will always have respect for the man that he is. Thank you for representing with such grace, love & genuine heart, Captain Will.”
Another fan noted, “Put it on record that WILL NEVER GOT CAUGHT ONCE for a single lie he told. In his 50’s, he integrated so well with people half his age.”
Other fans echoed similar sentiments, with one stating, “Will is going up there in the best older houseguests rafters! Unproblematic, minded his business, clocked tea, protected our gworls. 10/10, highly recommend, no notes!”
Another fan added, “Will was a breath of fresh air this season! I’m so happy we got to see a good older man live out his dream. He treated each woman with respect and kindness. I hope he enjoys the jury house with Rachel.”
Fans also expressed their gratitude for Will’s presence on the show, with one user writing, “Will Captain Will you were an absolute gem a breath of fresh air in the DR and an absolute King you always kept it real and you were always down to talk some mess lol it was an absolute pleasure to watch you this season.”
Emotional Goodbye and Final Words
After Keanu won the BB Block Buster and secured his place in the game, Will and Ashley prepared for the final vote. Before the houseguests cast their votes, the nominees were given the opportunity to deliver speeches to campaign for their survival.
During his speech, Will struggled to hold back his emotions. “It’s tough. I know you all love me. I know I am—If I leave this house, it’s probably because I am lovable. I’m that lovable type of dude. But it’s all do what’s best for your game, you know, no tears, all cheers for Captain Will,” he said.
He ended his speech by acknowledging his wife and waiting patiently for the results. In the live vote, Keanu, Morgan, and Vince voted to evict Will, while Ava and Kelley chose to eliminate Ashley. With the majority of votes, Will was officially removed from the competition.
In his exit interview with host Julie Chen Moonves, Will reflected on his time on the show, stating that he believed he was placed on the show to mentor the other houseguests. He also mentioned that he was leaving the game as a “better man.”
