Big Brother 27-Recap for Thursday, July 31st

Good morning, the live feeds were down forever, but we finally have a new HOH. (Sorry houseguests, it wasn’t the wall comp) Before I get to last nights feeds, here’s a rundown of the eviction episode.

Kelley won the Block Buster comp…again. (Will guessed 16. Did he double up and count each one separately? If so, and he’d guessed 8, he would’ve won and Kelley would’ve left)

Will was so emotional during his speech, it took him a minute to be able to talk. Of all the guys in the house, Will’s always seemed to like Adrian the most.

Adrian was emotional too because he REALLY wanted to play this game.

Ava may have been the most emotional because she knew she was the reason he was going home. She’s not actually the whole reason because he didn’t make enough connections, and he was too stubborn in the way he played the game. As for the vote count, she WAS the reason he left. (I did a short update yesterday afternoon going over how Ava prevented the vote from being a tie)

It’s funny that Ava and Lauren have a final 2 but Lauren didn’t seem suspicious when she couldn’t get Ava’s vote to keep Adrian. Ava is easily playing the best game at the moment, in my opinion. (I was bummed she didn’t get credit for it on the episode)

This was Ava looking at Adrian after he’d lost the block buster comp but before the vote. She knew he was leaving and was sad for him:

Hey, at least Arian got to take his bread.

I was hoping we’d see his goodbye messages last night and not have to look for them on socials.

Julie was looking lovely in green but I’m really tired of every houseguest having to tell her so when they vote.

Here’s the real mastermind of the season…voting in the minority:

I’m also tired of the fake voting sadness. Ava was emotional before, during and after the vote. Sorry, I can’t buy into their emotions when people are hopping and dancing in the hallway, then “sadly voting to evict” someone, and then happily doing their shoutouts. (Let’s just say, none of these people will ever win an Oscar)

Morgan and Katherine may hate each other but at least they’re still willing to share clothing. Morgan loaned Katherine her shirt.

This is Vinny and Zach, trying to hide when the episode ended. It didn’t look like they gave Keanu, Kelley, Katherine or Rylie that heads up about the vote after all.

These were my thoughts after the eviction and a comment I wrote last night under Steve’s post about the eviction, but it wouldn’t go through. I was too lazy to retype it so I just took a screenshot.

Brendan and Jimm’s boyfriend went to a watch party for the episode. They recreated the image of Rachel and Jimmy that’s been floating around all week. (Funny)

Now, on to the HOH comp…

Rylie won the HOH last night:

He looks really unhappy right? It’s because Mickey used her power, Rylie didn’t guess correctly after his interrogations so…Mickey is the new HOH.

It sounds like Mickey brought in Rachel and asked for help to throw suspicion onto Ashley. It also sounded like Keanu may have helped convince Rylie that Ashley had the power. Morgan, Mickey, Ashley and Rachel all worked to throw the suspicion off of Mickey. (Good job ladies!)

I’m assuming Rachel was able to convince Keanu since he’s sort of working with her now. (Hopefully more of the vague stuff will get sorted out in todays conversations)

Rachel and Jimmy carried some of Mickey’s things up to the hoh room…

as Rylie sat there having to watch them while being comforted by Katherine. Katherine looks like she could strangle them. ha ha (Personally, I enjoy Katherine’s bitchiness)

We didn’t see it on the feeds but from some conversations, Rylie may have yelled and cussed at Mickey and Morgan. (Rylie cuss? Never!)

I don’t know why he’s so mad. (Yes I do) He’s told anyone that would listen since the start of the game, he wasn’t playing the game. He’s said he didn’t want to win anything, didn’t want to compete and he was only there for a vacation. He also said yesterday he wanted someone from their side to win and flush out the last power. (win, win, right?)

After he had his hoh taken from him, he asked Katherine if she wanted to sleep with him last night. He wanted to cuddle. (They slept on the sofa together in the hoh room Wednesday night) She said no because of all the cameras and maybe in a few weeks when more people were gone. He asked if she was waiting until “someone” left. (He’s been insinuating she likes Zach. He mentioned catching Katherine and Zach in a room together yesterday….they were talking about the vote by the way)

His emotions after losing the hoh were real but not because of the game. He just wanted some snuggle time with Katherine and wasn’t going to get it without the hoh room. I’m not guessing about this because Rylie said “it’s not fair.” (Yeah, he really knew nothing about this show before coming!) Katherine said “you’ll win it next week” and Rylie said, “I don’t fucking care about this, I just want to be with you.”

Katherine kept saying she was tired and needed to go to bed. He would pout and say “go to bed.” She would ask him not to say it so mean and so on. (You get the picture)

Ashley gave him a hug goodnight after helping him lose his hoh:

Morgan and Mickey talked about both of them being cussed at by Rylie. Mickey said Rylie screamed at her and called her a liar.

Ashley did more shit talking about Morgan to Mickey. (Girl, take the night off and enjoy the win!)

I think Mickey was just venting this past week because she sounds good with Morgan now. (She doesn’t want Morgan gone. She just doesn’t want Morgan to have a better position in the game than her.) Instead of chiming in with Ashley last night, she seemed to be deflecting most of it. Mickey said she loved Morgan. Ashley couldn’t get her to bite on it and participate enough so she eventually went to bed.

This isn’t a for sure thing because Mickey said they’d discuss it more this morning but for now, she may nominate Katherine, Rylie and Keanu. It also didn’t sound like Keanu would be her target. They discussed not wanting Rylie or Katherine in jury. They also said they didn’t want Kelley but said they may be stuck with her.

Morgan, Vinny and Zach worked on a name for their F3. When asked if she knew about Mickey’s power again, Morgan still insisted she didn’t. They seemed a bit worried but Morgan assured them they were safe this week.

Morgan can be annoying because she talks about herself ALL the time and does a bit of the ‘I need the money’ thing like Adrian did. However, she’s always protected both Mickey and Ashley in the game…so far.

Some other things to mention:

Vinny went into overdrive doing damage control with Rylie before he lost his hoh. Later, Rylie told Katherine he didn’t trust Zach because of the vote but I don’t know if that includes Vinny too.

Keanu also forgave Vinny and said he was human. (Whether he means it’s or not, I don’t know) I’m also not sure why he’s fine with Vinny but blaming Zach. Keanu said Zach was at the bottom of the totem pole now, even below Rachel and Jimmy. (Remember, he thinks he’s working with Zach, Vinny, Kelley, Rachel and Jimmy now)

Mickey made the right call by using her power. Rylie told Keanu he was thinking of putting Mickey, Morgan and Ashley on the block. (I missed some of the conversations with others)

Morgan told Zach that Lauren was going to need to pick a side. Zack assured her Lauren was on their side. (She’s not, well shes on Zachs side. Does that count?)

Rylie isn’t the first to go from the top to the bottom in a matter of hours. I’m not surprised we didn’t get to see all of this play out on the feeds and fingers crossed they give us a lot of it on the episode.

I want to see the planning by Mickey and the women. I also want to see some of Rylie’s interrogation skills.

Here’s hoping for fun feeds today and a more interesting week. Have a great weekend everyone!
