Big Brother 27-Recap for Saturday, August 9th

Yesterday was the veto comp. The players in addition to Ava, Keanu, Zach and Vince were Katherine and Will. Morgan wasted her entire day Friday trying to figure out what she would do with the veto. This was a veto she’d apparently already won in a competition she also wasn’t chosen to play. (This will come up again later)

***Veto winner spoiler below***

It was the prizes and punishments comp. Ava got 5k and Will got a trip to London. (Not Paris, London like Alyssa from BB24 thought, its the other London) Zach somehow gave Will the trip and took a punishment. (Not sure of the specifics) He needed a volunteer to partner up for his punishment and Rachel volunteered. Later, Morgan said she didn’t realize he was waiting for someone to volunteer or she would’ve done it. (Girl, have some self respect!) The feeds were down for this one so I don’t know very much. Rachel and Zach had to do something in the yard together for 8 hours.

Keanu has to be a butler for the week, except he’s a butt-ler. His costume is a butler suit with a big ole booty. The booty has a serving tray that sits on top of his big ole behind. Last night, he had to make pigs in a blanket, put them on the booty tray and serve them to the house guests. (I don’t want any kind of food served on an ass, real or fake)

Vince is a det-egg-tive for a week. He has an oversized egg costume, an egg hat, a huge magnifying glass and a stool on wheels. (This thing looks like a nightmare to wear) He was also given some kind of white onesie to sleep in and an egg swim suit.

By process of elimination, you already know, katherine won the veto. At least for now, she’s saying she isn’t going to use it. She’ll be approached more about using the veto today. What little was mentioned about it yesterday, didn’t help the nominees very much. When Zach brought it up to Rylie, he also brought up that she might not want to use it to make sure Rylie didn’t go on the block. (Sure, go ahead and plant that seed for them, Zach)

While talking to Vince, Rylie said Vince still had chances. He said Vince might win the block buster, and if not, he could still get the votes. (This was while Katherine was sitting there after just winning the veto)

As for Ava, she told everyone, including Katherine, to do whatever she wants. She said it’s her veto and her choice. (Hey, Ava, maybe have a conversation with Katherine anyway, you know, to bond and shit) I get where Ava’s doing the whole ‘let the house decide’ thing but I’m not sure its on purpose.

Ava pulling Vinny out of the room on his stool:

There’s an advantage to doing it this way if it’s intentional. If you stay hands off enough and you repeat it enough, by the end of the week, you can kind of convince people that it’s not your doing. It’s ‘the house’ who caused someone to leave. There’s an art to using this strategy and Ava doesn’t have it. (At least not so far) You also need to hang out with your nominees and get buddy, buddy with them again. That way, the ones who stay don’t blame you as much as they blame the people who voted out whoever leaves.

She’s not doing this so I don’t think it’s a strategy. She did do a good job of making all of her noms people she’s fine with leaving, and she’s also fine with putting up Morgan as a replacement nom. I believe she really doesn’t care if she has to put Morgan on the block.

However, she’s not prepared to put up a 2nd replacement nom if Zach uses his 10k to bribe himself off the block. I don’t know if he’s going to use it so I hadn’t given a lot of thought to who she would put up. Mickey wants Lauren but Ava’s already told Lauren she wouldn’t put her up. I don’t think she would put up Rylie so it makes me think she might put up Ashley. She already doesn’t want Ashley in their group, and if she has to do it, she won’t have time to think about it. If it’s on the spot, I could see her defaulting to Ashley. (Talk about a mess this week if that happens!) Haha

As for Zach, I think he’s crazy if he doesn’t use it. I don’t care what people are telling him, getting from now till Thursday is a long time. Alot can change in a few days. He was mad all day Friday and I’m sure most of it is simply from being nominated. He also got nominated by someone he views as a nothing player. He’d also liked to hang on to that money. And lastly, it probably pisses him off that he’d have to give the money to somebody who just put him on the block!

Will may have caused a glitch in the game regarding Zach too. Since Zach gave him the trip, he’s let everyone know he won’t go against Zach the rest of the time they’re in the game. I don’t know if he’ll stick to this, but yes, you heard me correctly. He wasn’t saying he won’t vote him out this week. He said he won’t vote him out at all.

If Zach does use the 10k bribe, I could also see it making Ava a bigger target now too. She will have ended her hoh week with 15K. Smaller things than that have made people targets.

There was also some confusion about Will volunteering to go on the block. I think some of this was when the feeds were down. Zach was under the impression that Will was going to ask Katherine to use the veto on Zach and said Will would go up in his place. I never saw will ask Katherine anything. At some point, Will told Zach that Ava said no. I don’t know the details behind this one, if Will really offered, if Zach assumed it, no clue.

Now, let’s get back to Morgan’s dilemma. Like I said, she had spent Friday tearing herself up over whether to save Vince or Zach. Keep in mind, she talks openly about this to everyone too. Basically, she wanted to save Zach, as long as she knew he would choose her over Lauren. Otherwise, keeping Vince would be the better choice.

She debated this with Mickey more than once. Mickey does the same thing to Morgan that she does to Ashley. Mickey always wants to do the opposite of what either Morgan or Ashley are wanting to do. Ashley’s caught on to this and has even told Rachel, she’s going to start telling Mickey she’s close to Katherine. She said it’s because she actually wants Katherine to go.

Morgan even talked to Keanu about it and said her issue with Zach was not knowing if he’d choose her or Lauren in the game. Keanu bluntly said, “I don’t think that’s even a question….He would choose Lauren.” Most people in the house have said the same thing to Morgan. They were just more gentle about it. Morgan actually got up in the middle of Keanu saying this and walked out of the room. It’s fascinating to watch someone be unable to confront reality.

Morgan, living in her own world, told Mickey she’d finally agreed to keep Zach. You guessed it, this was the moment Mickey said she’d changed her mind and thought they needed to get rid of Zach. She said she thinks they need to separate Zach from Lauren.

Mickey took advantage of Rachel’s absence to work on Will and Ashley and she told them they should keep Vince. At first, Ashley didn’t agree, but later seemed okay with it. (I think she was just telling Mickey what she wanted to hear) I don’t think it matters because Mickey will probably change her mind again 20 more times. I also don’t think these are going to be our final noms since Zach may use his power. I’m mainly just showing how argumentative Mickey seems to be with her alliance.

Keanu campaigned a little. Will said he couldn’t keep him over Zach but said he would keep him over Vinnny. Kelley also told Keanu she would keep him no matter what. She said she told Vinny he was good with her, but she hasn’t forgotten what he did with the Adrian vote. I don’t know if Kelley is telling Keanu the truth or not but this could actually bean important vote this week if its Keanu vs Vinny.

I haven’t mentioned Vinnys day yet because it’s the least fun thing to talk about. He whined and whined and whined all day long. It was more of his and Zach’s talks from the day before about how Ava is worthless, she doesn’t deserve to be there, why should someone who sleeps all day get to take him out of the game?

It was also a lot of wasted time. He had Zach gone for 8 hours so it would’ve been better to use that time campaigning to people and planting seeds for why he should stay.

He was also on this weird rant about how the floaters in the game don’t have any business deciding who goes to jury. (The main two people that are planning out the jury are Morgan and Mickey) They openly talk about who they can beat in a final two. I’ve been a bit of a quiet Vinny fan because I liked his ability to talk to people and convince them of things. I also thought he had potential but yesterday he was making my ears bleed.

I get it, he applied for years and he’s upset he could go home this week. Sitting in a room and bitching and moaning to people whose votes you already have isn’t going to help! I thought watching him go on the block and seeing him squirm a little would be fun but its been like watching a toddler have a tantrum for 2 days.

I think the last eventful conversation yesterday was when Mickey told Will and Ashley, she thought they should replace Rachel with Rylie in their final five. She said he has a good story, is a good competitor and deserves to be there. Ashley told her that’s exactly why Rylie should NOT stay until final five. Ashley said by that reasoning, Adrian shouldn’t have been evicted.

After Zach and Rachel finished the punishment, Zach went to shower. (That was this morning) While Zach was trying to shower, Morgan hit him with a “I think we should take out Lauren.” Morgan was up all night trying to figure out if Zach would choose her over Lauren and now I guess she wants to put it to the test.

Sorry, I know most of my pictures don’t match up today with what I’m talking about. I did this one kind of last minute. I’m anxious to see the episode this evening and I’ll be back tomorrow to recap all the craziness from the live feeds today. Have a great evening!
