‘Big Brother’ Fans Think This Season 27 Contestant Should Face ‘Auto-Eviction’ & Here’s Why
Most Big Brother fans and houseguests should know that covering up a microphone is a big no-no. Some fans think that Lauren Domingue should face “auto-eviction” for her actions.
In a clip from the live feeds, Lauren and Vince Panaro were seen talking in the storage room. “Oh no, your mic fell!” Vince said, laughing. He then leaned in as Lauren whispered something in his ear.
“One more time, I can’t hear you,” he said.
It was hard to hear what she said, but Vince seemed to pick it up as he said, “Ohhh!”
“I think I censor myself too much,” Lauren responded, not in a whisper.
“You do,” Vince laughed. “That’s not that bad.”
“It’s like… whatever,” she said.
A lot of times, when houseguests get out of the shower or accidentally move their microphone, production will tell them to “please put on your microphone,” so fans are wondering why she wasn’t corrected or “auto-evicted” for this.

According to the Big Brother Wiki, rules about their microphones include
- All housemates must wear microphone lapels at all times, except when swimming or sleeping
- Whispering inside the house is strictly prohibited. (Whispering is defined as talking too softly for a microphone to detect)
- Covering or tampering microphones or cameras, writing secret messages, and talking under hidden places (such as bedding, tables, and beds) are strictly prohibited.
“Lauren loves to cover that mic and whisper in people’s ears. Should be grounds for an auto-eviction if you ask me. #BB27,” an X user tweeted, implying this isn’t the first time she has done this.
One X user said they thought she said, “Something like should have gotten a better picture, I think.”
“I thought I heard evicting. Not sure. I hope someone recorded it,” said another.
“Imagine if all the HG drop mics and whisper? Should not be allowed. Should be a penalty,” a third X user wrote.
“Does Big Brother not yell at her for obstructing her mic? What’s the point of having that response if they don’t use it when it’s so blatant like that,” asked a fan.
“Penalty nomination at least,” a fan suggested.
“Right? Where is BB when he says, ‘Lauren, uncover your mic’?” tweeted another.
“Isn’t something the voice says, ‘Don’t obstruct your microphone’? Why isn’t she getting that response?!” asked one last fan.

I would love it if BB would stop them from saying hello to everyone they know during eviction voting. It's ok to wish someone a happy birthday or anniversary, but it is annoying when they wish everyone they know.

Is there really a rule about "no whispering" in the house? If so, I wish they would enforce it. It's so annoying straining to hear what they are whispering to each other that most the time, I get off the feed altogether and watch something else.

I think Lauren just really hates confrontation- like she's afraid someone will "get mad" if she stands up for what she's thinking. I for one, would like to hear more of what she is thinking OUT LOUD! She seems pretty smart just from a few comments she's made regarding her observations, but please stand up and say these OUT LOUD! Maybe it's just lack of experience...it can feel scary if you are not one for saying what's on your mind- especially if it may not be popular opinion. Just spit it out, grrrrlll.

Playing the game of Big Brother is when you use your own strategy and everyone shouldn’t know what that is. When they designed their eviction list, don’t discuss it, just do it. In Lauren case she should not never have talked to anyone about releasing ,Vince from the Block, the outcome would of been different
