Big Brother 27 Interviews: Vince Panaro – Runner-Up
After controlling roughly a third of all the HOH wins of the Big Brother 27 season, Vince Panaro couldn’t win when he needed it the most. An ego-crushing loss in the second round of the Final HOH put Vince on the sidelines of finale night while he watched Morgan and Ashley battle it out. In the end, he got really lucky that Ashley was smart enough to see the threat in Morgan at the F2 and instead dragged Vince along to the Jury.
Standing before the Big Brother Jury, Vince’s game was pummeled by the Jurors’ Q&A with him even losing Lauren’s vote over his betrayal. Now that’s a vote that surprised me but ultimately didn’t shock me. Vince betrayed everyone he met in that House and it came back to bite him. Of course, even with only Morgan’s vote Vince still takes home $75,000 which isn’t too shabby.
But what does he think of his game, the season, and how the Jury ditched him for Ashley? We’ve got several of Vince’s major outlet interviews to answer those questions.
Mike: Hey, Vince! I want to start by asking, I know it’s been a whirlwind. Are you ok?
Vince: Yeah, no, I’m good. I mean, it was a dream of mine to play Big Brother, and I got to do it. It’s funny, near the end of the last few days, I was getting more sad. I was like, “I don’t want this to end. I don’t want this to end. I don’t want to leave the house.” It became your safe space. So I’m good. I got the full experience, and that’s all I hoped for.
Mike: Were there any jury votes that surprised you one way or the other?
Vince: I was kind of surprised Lauren didn’t give me a vote. But I think because I put her on the block, she was probably pretty upset about that, so I don’t blame her.
Mike: Ashley told you that Morgan was planning to take you out if she won the final HoH. And I can confirm that she did say that to Julie as well.
Vince: Wait, so Morgan was planning on taking Ashley?
Come on, Vince! He had to know Morgan wasn’t going to take him anymore after that huge shift on Saturday in the house. Maybe Vince thought he had swayed Morgan back, but she made it really clear to Feedsters that Vince was toast at that point in her book for F2.
Vince Panaro played hard and while it was a messy, ugly game, he still managed to find himself at F2 on Finale Night and that’s something. I don’t think Vince is someone they bring back because part of his “magic” in the season was his dynamic with Morgan and that’d be hard to recreate. Plus, I don’t know how many more sniffly, teary hours of Live Feeds with Vince I could take!
