Amy Bingham’s time on Big Brother 27 came to a sudden end Thursday night as the 43-year-old insurance agent from Stockton, California, became the second houseguest evicted this season. After falling victim to Jimmy Heagerty’s Head of Household reign, Amy was unanimously voted out — a result she didn’t want but now accepts, even as she calls out the player she holds responsible.
“He’s a snake and a liar!” Amy said of Jimmy during her post-eviction interview with Gold Derby. “He lies constantly, and I was dying to call him out! I couldn’t do it in the house — as much as I wanted to — but he was literally lying all the time. I don’t know if that’s part of his gameplay or if that’s just who he really is. I hope it’s not who he really is! I will say, he’s very charismatic, funny, and fun to be around — but he lies all the time. He’s a manipulator. I guess manipulation is part of the game, but I personally can’t stand being around lying manipulators.”
Like many fans watching at home, Amy was left confused by Jimmy’s strategy this week. Though his initial nominees were Keanu Soto, Kelley Jorgensen, and Adrian Rocha, all three managed to avoid the block when it came time for the final eviction vote. Instead, Amy and Cliffton “Will” Williams were left as the last two nominees.
“I knew if I was up next to Will, I was going home,” Amy admitted. “When I didn’t win the BB Block Buster, I thought, ‘That’s it. I’m going home.’ I couldn’t bring myself to campaign against Will — I love him; he’s so sweet.”
“Getting me out? Good for you. I can’t win a comp,” she added sarcastically. “You don’t have a better chance without me.”
When asked about Jimmy’s loyalties, Amy was unsure. “I don’t know if he’s loyal to anybody,” she said. “But the people he seems to be playing the game with so far are Vinny [Panaro], Mickey [Lee], Morgan [Pope], and, to some extent, Zach [Cornell].”
Her Thoughts on Rachel, the Accomplice Twist, and Lauren’s HOH
One of the early twists of the season was the arrival of Big Brother legend Rachel Reilly. Amy, who entered the house as the Accomplice, spoke about how Rachel’s presence complicated her game.
“At this point, I wish she never came in. I love you, Rachel! I wish you were just hosting,” Amy shared. “I actually thought she was coming in as a host. No, she came to play! I couldn’t not be friends with her once I became friends with her. We’re about the same age — Mom Squad! I love her. I am a fan of hers, so it was fun to meet her and it was exciting to play with her. It just sucks because I knew it was going to put a target on my back, but I couldn’t help it! I’m loyal in the real world and I’m loyal in this game. I didn’t know what to do.”
Reflecting on her first night in the house as the Accomplice, Amy said:
“I had so many nerves. You’re meeting people and it’s the first time ever getting in the house. Then, I had to do these tasks. So I was nervous about all of it. My nerves were high. I’m just glad I did it. I’m glad they pinned it on Rylie [Jeffries] and Zae [Frederich], not me. Sorry, guys, love you. But better them than me.”
After Amy’s eviction, Lauren Domingue won the next Head of Household. Amy was surprised by the outcome and uncertain of what Lauren might do.
“I could not have seen that coming. I would’ve thought she would’ve not wanted to win at all yet. I really saw her just floating through until midpoint. She was safe enough.”
“I don’t know what she’s going to do. Is she going to make a safe move? Put Kelley up? She’s already been up. Put Will up? He’s already been up. No new blood. Keanu? I don’t know. I don’t know who her real target would be. I’ve never really talked game to her. I love her. We talked about girls sticking together and stuff a little bit. But I don’t know, it’ll be interesting to see. I’m excited to see who she puts up.”

More Drama with Keanu
Amy also touched on Keanu’s gameplay and his tension with Rachel.
“He lies, too! It’s not just Jimmy — Keanu’s a liar as well,” she said. “Honestly, I don’t really care because when he talks to me, we don’t discuss game. So he doesn’t lie to me directly since we don’t have anything game-related to talk about. But he lies to other people about the game, especially to Rachel. Rachel was really upset with Keanu most of the time because they had become friends, and she had his back. She even tried to save him a few times, and then he turned on her. That whole situation was crazy. So yeah, she absolutely had a reason to have issues with him. I didn’t, personally, because he never lied to my face about anything. Jimmy, on the other hand, definitely did.”
Her Predictions Moving Forward
As for who she sees making it far in the game?
“Mickey and Morgan. They have really aligned themselves to be cushioned by people. They’re not targets. They’re not really on anyone’s radar. They’re just smooth, but they’re not floating either. They’re playing the game. They’re not floating. They’re pulling some strings and making things happen. I definitely feel like they’re in the best spot.”
And when asked who she hopes wins, Amy didn’t hesitate:
“I hope Ashley [Hollis] wins. I really do.”
