Oh, the shade! Fresh off her triumphant crown as Big Brother Season 27 champ, Ashley Hollis isn’t holding back one bit. In a post-finale Instagram flex that’s got the entire BB fandom buzzing like a hive of evicted houseguests, the queen herself unleashed a savage one-liner aimed straight at runner-up Vince Panaro. “There’s truly no better feeling than beating a cry baby in 6-1 vote whewww 🥳🤭🤭🤭🤭😉🍾,” she captioned, before twisting the knife with pure gold: “Should’ve gotten me out week one babes! Oh wait, you failed at that because I won the power of veto and took myself off the block! #itsquietaintnobacktalk 😏 #bb27 🤫🤫 #teamashley.”
Talk about a mic-drop moment! Ashley didn’t stop there—she paired the post with a scorching video montage of Vince trash-talking her all season long, turning his own words into her ultimate revenge reel. Fans are losing it in the comments, flooding her feed with fire emojis, popcorn gifs, and chants of “YAS QUEEN!” It’s the petty payback we’ve all been craving after a summer packed with alliances, backstabs, and those infamous veto saves.
The love train rolled in fast from her Big Brother sisterhood too. Season 27 alum Leah Peters slid into the comments with a lyrical gut-punch: “Siri play itty bitty piggy by Nicki Minaj.” And Jimmy Heagerty III? He kept it real with a cheeky nod: “Get her jade.” The houseguests-turned-friends are clearly riding for Team Ashley, proving once again that BB bonds (and burns) run deep.
Rewind to the electrifying live finale on Sunday, September 28, where Ashley clinched her victory in a razor-sharp 6-1 jury vote that left jaws on the floor. She stormed into the final two by outlasting Morgan Pope in the nail-biting third leg of the Head of Household comp—then, in a move that had us all screaming at our screens, she evicted her ride-or-die ally. Why? Ashley played it smart: She knew her game stacked up stronger against Vince, and boy, did the jury agree.
But here’s the glow-up twist that makes this win even sweeter—no lingering beef for our girl. Chatting exclusively with Us Weekly right after the confetti dropped, Ashley spilled the tea on her evolving vibe with Vince: “I actually did really grow to like Vince as a person throughout the game. He really is a nice guy. Didn’t understand his gameplay and his dream management and giving people false hope. Didn’t really understand that part. But as a person, Vince was a nice guy overall.” Classy, confident, and still serving that winner’s edge—Ashley’s got the heart to match her hustle.
Vince, ever the gracious competitor, owned his finale fumble in his own Us sit-down. “I knew I would probably get grilled a little bit,” he admitted. “They were pretty harsh on me, for sure. All of them were pretty good questions, and I wasn’t the best [at] answering them.” Oof—those jury questions hit like eviction blocks, didn’t they? Still, he shouted out his lone cheerleader, Morgan Pope, the only one who cast her vote his way. “Morgan did fight for me more proactively. She was the one who was really good about that, and I appreciated that. She’s an incredible competitor and such a strong ally.”
Morgan herself? She kept it 100 when Us pressed her on the vote: “I mean, come on, he put up half the house, and he’s still in the house. Like, how, how is he still here?” Iconic. In a season of wild twists and underdog miracles, Vince’s survival story was legendary—until Ashley’s jury slay wrote the final chapter.
The celebration fever is still raging across the BB universe, with alumni popping bottles and passing the torch like it’s a sacred ritual. Season 26 queen Chelsie Baham, who handed over her crown to another trailblazer, gushed at House Chops Los Angeles’ epic finale watch party just hours after the airing: “I’m so grateful and honored to pass on the crown to another Black woman. I’m so proud of Ashley, and I welcome her to the Black female winners club. We have not seen anything like this at Big Brother. What I love about this group is there’s no competitiveness. We are just so happy for each other. There’s enough space for all of us, and we make space for Ashley. She’s amazing.”
From shady scrolls to sisterhood salutes, Ashley Hollis’s reign is off to a fireworks start. Who’s ready for the reunion drama? Because if this Instagram roast is any indication, Season 27’s legacy is just getting lit. 🎉👑 #BB27Forever
