Big Brother 27-Recap for Monday, July 14th

Good morning everyone, I don’t know how well this cast will play the game but they’re definitely an active group. It’s giving a bit of BB11 so far in the way they’re playing hard, not doing it very well and they’re already fighting with each other. Steve already went over the alliances so I’m gonna skip that this morning but it’s in the last post if you missed it.

Yesterday started with Keanu pissing off half the house. He was playing too hard and too sloppy. It was kind of a carryover from Sunday when he and Jimmy were both trying to get each other on the block. Keanu was upset with Morgan, thinking she told Jimmy he was after him. He irritated Rylie during breakfast and was upset that Jimmy didn’t want to hug him. There was more but you get the idea.

Morgan vented to Mickey about it, Keanu joined them and they patched it up. Although Mickey and Morgan are working with Jimmy, they’d like to keep Keanu around, possibly to target Jimmy at some point. (I don’t think Morgan appreciated the way Jimmy controlled the alliance conversation the night before. Jimmy’s giving ‘it’s my way or the highway’ alot!)

Lauren and Katherine having a chat:

After being talked out of putting Keanu on the block, Vince almost came back around to doing it. Jimmy told Vince it was kind of stupid to put up one of his closest allies. (True) Part of the problem is that it was coming from Jimmy. It shouldn’t matter but Jimmy has an ulterior motive in wanting Keanu on the block. I think it made it easier for Vince to discount the advice Jimmy was giving him.

Zae working on the votes with Adrian:

Basically, Vince told his alliance he was going to put Kelley up because they all wanted him to, they were all telling him they didn’t actually want him to and he just kept saying he had to do it because thats what the group wanted. (That sounds stupid, and it was, but that’s also kind of what happened)

Anyway, regardless of all that, it looked like Jimmy had got Vince turned back around but then Rachel happened. Vince went to Rachel, asked her opinion, and she said absolutely not to putting Keanu on the block. She asked if he thought Kelley could help win comps for him and said Keanu would still be a target for people if he stayed. She convinced him to leave Keanu alone and let other people target him.

Kelley talked to Vince, kinda sorta tried to back out of volunteering but not very much. She just told him that Keanu was annoying people and that was about it.

Meanwhile, Jimmy talked to Rachel (and half the house) about wanting to go off on Keanu at the veto ceremony. To her credit, she didn’t encourage it very hard but did smirk to the camera and say it would make good tv. (She’s not wrong) Oh, I guess this is a good time to mention that Jimmy and Rachel are good now, I guess? Maybe he’s faking it for now. I don’t know. We know they’re in the heavy hitters alliance together but I don’t see that one lasting very long. (I also realized why I couldn’t remember who the 7th member was in the alliance. There isn’t a 7th!)

Ashley removed herself from the block with the Veto, Kelley became the replacement nom and apparently, Jimmy DID have some things to say during the ceremony. (We’ll have to wait to see what happened) It may not matter because when the feeds came back, Jimmy and Keanu were making up. They were discussing how it was just a big misunderstanding. (No, it wasn’t) I think they both denied saying the things they both actually said.

Vince realized what a dumb move he’d made almost immediately. He was talking about how Rachel may have tricked him into doing what was best for her game. (Nope, half the house told you it was stupid!) On top of that, so much for that plan of Keanu and Jimmy going after each other later since they’ve already made up. Vince really can’t blame Rachel. Almost everyone he’s working with told him it would be bad for his own game AND told him Kelley would be evicted if she was on the block.

Kelley comes with her own issues anyway. She’s made a bunch of weird comments to people and not gotten off to the best start with most of the house. The only way I see her staying this week is if Rachel and Morgan can rally enough votes to get rid of Zae if it’s Kelley and Zae otb.

Kelley, who has a unique way of playing the game, has an even better idea than volunteering for the block. Now that she’s on the block, she told Vince she thinks she should throw the blockbuster comp. She also wants to go off on Rachel on Thursday night. She thinks this will get Amy evicted AND thinks people decide how they’ll vote based on their speeches. (Hahaha, I’m just gonna leave that alone because there aren’t words) Kelley also told Rylie he was the only person in the house that was more likable than her so there’s that. She’s also telling people it was smart to go up because it will hide that she and Vince are close. (It only hides it if you don’t tell people)

Lauren and Katheine have been pretty chill so far. They seem smart but also on the outs a little bit. They’re not like outcasts or anything, they just haven’t formed anything solid yet with very many people. Zae and Zach both like Lauren so who knows where that’s heading. Both of them seem very tuned in to not wanting a bros alliance to form.

Ava’s been approached about a couple of alliances. Keanu wants her in his 10 person one but that one includes the entire house except for the people he was targeting before.

She’s also in one with Will, Zach and Adrian. As soon as she mentioned keeping it small, Zach said they should bring in Vince and Lauren so I don’t see this lasting either. Ava isn’t gaming very much, at least from what I’ve seen so far. One thing I HAVE noticed is when people talk about her, they all seemed to really like her. Maybe that will buy her some time until she can get in something solid.

I actually think that was my first mention of Adrian too. If you saw the preseason interviews, he was extremely vocal about EVERYTHING. He talked like he was gonna be better than Dan, Dr. Will and so on. He’s also the one that built a mini wall comp in his backyard. So far, he’s been very subdued on the feeds. I thought he was going to be obnoxious but he isn’t. Maybe this will help him if a group of the women start targeting some of the guys. I don’t have him figured out yet.

Although Zae is confident he’ll beat both Amy and Kelley in the Blockbuster, he still started putting in work to make sure he’s got the votes just in case. He and Jimmy used strawberries to do a vote count….right out in the open. This casts game play is wild! Haha

There was alot of who will vote for who throughout the house. So far, this cast is fairly honest and direct. Morgan told Zae she already gave Amy her vote to stay. Everyone knows Rachel will keep Amy. Jimmy told Vince he would vote out Kelley if she was on the block, even though they’re supposed to be a duo. Zach was also vocal about wanting to keep Zae to everyone and more of the same from the others.

Keanu, who gamed hard all morning, is now telling everyone he doesn’t want to win the hoh anymore. Since he’s patched things up with Jimmy, Morgan, Rachel, etc., he says he doesn’t have a target. (These people are a mess!)

Rachel told Keaun that Vince almost put him up but she stopped it. She was pretty blunt and told him she wanted to keep him for selfish reasons. She said she wants to get in shape this summer and he’s like having her own personal trainer.

Morgan was the first person to beat Zae in chess. I wonder if she still wants him out since she’s ran around telling everyone he has to go because he’s good at chess.

Later, Keanu asked Vince if he almost put him up. Naturally, Vince lied and said no. Keanu also asked if Rachel told Vince not to put him up and Vince said yes, she did say that. I’m sure that helped with Keanu trusting Rachel now too.

Rachel talked to some of them women about evicting Zae if they have the opportunity and they agreed. She also got in Keanu’s ear about it too. If he stays on the block, this shouldn’t be a hard sell because it’s the direction Morgan and Mickey were already wanting to go. Most of the guys want to keep him tho.

Zach has been annoyed with Amy because he says she’s a floater. Now, he wants to confront Rylie over not wanting to win comps. He said Rylie wants a free ride.

Rylie told Kelley he’s mad at Keanu because Keanu said he was a floater, just because he didnt want to talk game or be a part of any alliances. He and Kelley also discuss taking out Amy to weaken Rachel.

Vince said something similar to Zach about Rachel and Amy. Vince is pouting at his own decision because he also said, Rachel is someone who will give you advice and make it sound like it’s good for you when it’s really just good for her. Haha, no shit.

Hopefully we don’t have another repeat of Paul and BB19 but there’s already some quiet chatter about Rachel so maybe we won’t. I think people like Morgan and Mickey may want to keep her around for a while but even they said they think some of the guys may take Rachel out so they don’t have to do it. Keanu mentioned how she’s already won and there’s been more of that talk from others. Weakening Rachel is the main reason some of them want to evict Amy.

As for Rachel’s game so far, she’s been a very different Rachel. By comparison, she’s actually more of a calmer hg and the ‘voice of reason’ with this cast. (That’s something, huh?)

I wouldn’t even attempt to dissect how votes will go depending who stays on the block this week. These people are all over the place and their opinions seem to change if someone looks at them the wrong way. (Reason I said it has BB11 vibes. I think over half the nominations that season were based purely on personal reasons and simmering hatred)

So far, I’m enjoying the cast because they’re active players. They’re also messy which is fun for us. Surprisingly, Rachel isn’t even annoying me…yet. I’m anxious to see what kind of chaos they create today! Have a great Tuesday.
