Big Brother’s Zach Told Us What He’s Doing With His $10,000, And If He Still Wishes He Used It To Save Himself

by

In Season 27 of Big Brother, it seemed like Zach Cornell had an uncomplicated couple of months ahead. However, everything shifted dramatically during Ava Pearl’s tenure as Head of Household. Despite being nominated for eviction and losing the veto, many didn’t expect Zach to leave the house because he possessed a unique power that allowed him to swap $10,000 for immunity from eviction. Yet, surprisingly, he chose not to utilize this power and was ultimately expelled. Now, a week later, what thoughts is Zach harboring about his unconventional decision?

TopMob paused their live streaming of Big Brother to converse with Zach following his elimination from the game. They discussed Zach returning online, revisiting the show, and his controversial choice to retain $10,000 at the risk of eviction. Having moved past the surprise of his 8-2 vote against Vince Panaro, here’s what Zach shared about regretting not utilizing his power after being ousted:

To remain part of the game was crucial to me, and although making that choice was tough, I accept it. I realize I took a risk by not using my power, but I’m content with my situation. Being in possession of $10,000 has been a huge blessing for me, as it allows me to make plans, like taking my family on trips. In about two weeks, my family will be departing for the Philippines, and I’m looking forward to contributing towards their travel expenses and ensuring their trip goes smoothly.

It’s been noted that there have been jokes about Zach regretting the move he made on Big Brother, which many consider the worst in history. However, his recent comments suggest he would like to be part of Rachel Reilly’s HOH week again. Looking back, it’s easy for us to criticize his decision, especially since things didn’t turn out well for him afterwards.

Absolutely, a time machine isn’t present in “Big Brother”, but if one were, Zach would certainly take advantage. He openly admitted that he would seize the opportunity to redo everything, but expressed no bitterness now that he’s past that stage.

If I had known then what I know now, I would undoubtedly have chosen to act differently and use the power available, but unfortunately, I can’t go back and change things. In such situations, I often find myself reminding myself that everything happens for a reason, and there seems to be a purpose why we are having this conversation today.

If Zach were more devoted to the show “Big Brother,” he likely would have been aware of one of the crucial strategies employed by victorious players in the game. A Houseguest should never, without exception, turn down secure protection, even if it involves forfeiting $10,000. Although this isn’t as detrimental as winning a veto while being nominated and choosing not to use it to save oneself (which has occurred), it’s still clearly a poor choice.

Big Brother 27 Spoilers: Who’s Getting Evicted In Week 6

It turns out that fans of Big Brother tend to have a short recollection span. The contestants they criticize today will likely be celebrated by them a few years down the line. In fact, we’ve observed that several former favorites from past seasons have been turned into villains by online communities over time.

Essentially, it’s clear that there are more severe issues within Big Brother than enduring ridicule from fans who will never participate in the show or any of its competitions. If Zach had chosen not to spend the money and instead kept his safety for another week, opinions might have shifted dramatically, with many praising him for a strategic and smart gameplay decision. At least Zach exited the house with some earnings, and it seems he has exciting family plans lined up in the near future.
