Everyone is talking about the vote but I have no idea who anyone is keeping. Half of them are lying and the other half change their minds hourly. Unless something drastic happens, I don’t know if we’ll have any idea before Thursday night or if they will either. Here’s the recap for the day…
Keanu split his pants when he did a squat:
Rachel outing the heavy hitters alliance has made it around to everyone, including Mickey and Morgan. They don’t know who all she named being in it tho.
Morgan trying not to smile when Zach said he didn’t use his power because she’d go up:
Morgan and Zach had to have another talk about who was Zach’s #1. (Morgan or Lauren) She was fishing for him to say it was her. She was ready to keep Vince until Zach told her about his power. I don’t know who she’ll keep between Zach and Vince. They also talked about targeting Rachel but who isn’t?
Rachel telling Ashley that Mickey won’t let her cook. She said Mickey tells her what she can cook and when she can cook:
Mickey continued her tirade about Rachel. (We’re going on over 24 hrs now) She says Rachel is weird, looks at her weird, is too old to be a mean girl and many other things. Mickey is coming unglued and I don’t know what happened. This started even before Rachel and Morgan had words the other day.
Rachel not being content as the 1st juror has really set Mickey off. She was saying Rachel better not mess with her or she’d embarrass her in front of her husband AND her kids. (Rachel hasn’t been messing with her btw)
Brendon had a response to the comment:
I think Mickey realized she made a mistake last week. She sees Morgan with Vince and Zach all the time but not with her. She’s figured out that taking Jimmy out was for the three of them but hirt her game. No one wants to feel played. She did get played but she’s been taking it out on people who actually had her back. (Rachel and Ashley)
She finally decided to take it out on Morgan too. They got into a discussion/arguement about their friendship and the game. Mickey said Morgan was obsessed with Vince and Zach but said she ignored her. She told Morgan that she’d taken one for the team by getting rid of Jimmy. Mickey said it didn’t seem like morgan was willing to do the same since she’s trying to keep both Vince and Zach. She was also upset that Keanu said something about targeting her to Morgan and Morgan didn’t tell her.
Morgan didn’t have an answer as to why she didn’t tell her either. Keanu had also told Mickey that Morgan blamed Mickey for Ava’s noms and Morgan tried to lie out of it.
They brought Keanu into it and he denied the things Morgan was saying. (Morgan was mostly telling the truth) Keanu said it would be dumb for him to talk about wanting to target Mickey while he still needed her vote. (Yes, it would but he did it anyway) He did a decent job in the convo and sounded fairly convincing.
They asked him who Rachel said was in the heavy hitters. Mickey said there was talk of something early in the game, but she thought Jimmy and Rachel started it. Keanu lied for Rachel and said that Rachel only said Vince was at the head of it. He said she didn’t name other names.
Keanu reported the whole thing back to Rachel. He also told her he had to lie to Mickey and say he didn’t want Rachel in jury.
Mickey went to tell Rylie and Katherine she wasn’t working with Morgan anymore. She also said Keanu and Rachel were targeting her. She tried to butter Kelley up by complementing her. She told her she was doing amazing and had bounced back from being on the block do much. Mickey gave herself credit for Kelley staying last week. She’s told several people and now Kelley, the only reason Kelley stayed last week was because Mickey put Jimmy otb. (I think this was the part where Kelley was supposed to be grateful?) Mickey was doing this because Keanu said Kelley didn’t trust her in their earlier talk. Later, Kelley told Keanu she wasn’t falling for it. He said she shouldn’t trust Morgan either.
This is Morgan mentioning jury and Keanu telling her that Morgan and Mickey are the only ones constantly talking about the jury. Morgan denied this and started talking about jury again.
Katherine was emotional about wishing she could talk to her mom. Rylie consoled her by harassing her over wanting to sleep in her bed.
Mickey got into Morgan’s head because she talked to both Zach and Vince about needing to play her own game. She said she was afraid she was messing her own game up. She retold Vince the conversation with Mickey and Keanu. (Keanu had already told Vince)
Morgan’s talk with Zach was mostly a thirty minute ‘poor me’ party about her game. Zach was patient since he didn’t point out he’s the one that needs votes this week and she’s not on the block. She did find time to tell him that Keanu probably stays this week if he’s on the block. Zach didn’t agree but he’s getting nervous.
Zach asked us to send him a power this week so he can be safe. (Didn’t he already have one???)
Keanu told Vince he needs to talk to Rachel. Keanu is trying to save both of them, but he said he can’t do all the work. (Rachel is practically begging people to evict Vince)
Mickey and Morgan talked again. They made up for however long it lasts. Morgan said she’d do a better job of making Mickey a priority and also said she was okay with letting Vince leave this week. Mickey started telling her why Zach needed to be the one to go. Morgan said if she wins the hoh, she’ll put up Rachel, Ashley and Ava. Mickey thinks Ashley won’t mind. She said Ashley would see it as a favor since she wouldn’t have to decide if she should use a veto on Rachel. (They may actually be crazy) They’ve also decided Rylie won’t be mad as long as they wait until jury to get rid of Katherine.
Vince trying to get Ava to break a tie in his favor if needed:
Here’s my weekly rundown of the players. I’m always making comments about ALL of them being bad this season. When I wrote this, it became even more obvious just how bad they ALL are at BB. It’s hard to find a player who isn’t actively working to tank their own game. Forget the mastermind, this is the true theme of the season.
AVA
She put 3 targets on the block and none of them were people she was working with so, yeah Ava! That puts her ahead of every hoh this season. Still, her hoh hasn’t been great. She didn’t use it to further herself in the game at all. She sleeps too much and the game is passing her by. She’s too loyal to Mickey too.
She doesn’t have a specific target this week and she should. Keanu is the only person she nominated who isn’t planning on retaliating so she should care who leaves this week. She’s also made it obvious who she’s the closest to in the house. Only meeting with Mickey, Will and Rachel before she made her noms was a mistake.
She’s said she’d like Vince to go this week but will Mickey changer her mind? That’s important because there could be a potential tie this week.
KEANU
He’s doing better socially and his punishment has helped. I’ve heard him say he was enjoying it because it made him feel useful. He stopped fighting with Rachel and wants to work with her now and finally has people who want him to stay. He’s also a complete mess strategically. He shouldn’t be telling people how close he is to Rachel. (Especially when he’s not) People who are targeting Rachel won’t keep him if they think he can be a shield for her.
He shouldn’t have gone around talking about Mickey and especially to Morgan. After it got back to Mickey, she started campaigning for him to go this week. He shouldn’t have told Vince that Rachel told him about the heavy hitters alliance.
He tells everything to everyone all the time.
Keanu still doesn’t understand the game. It’s week 5 and he still doesn’t have a real alliance. He almost tried to get the veto used on Vince because he’s sure he has the votes to stay. He did have them but he’s worked hard this week to change it.
VINCE
Vince being an egg this week has helped him. It’s hard to look devious when you’re dressed like an egg. His odds weren’t looking good at the beginning of the week but they may be better now. He’s been the most insulated player so far in the game. (I think Morgan and Lauren might even take a bullet for him)
If he stays, he’s got to stop having two hour long conversations with Morgan and Lauren. He’s way too obvious with what he’s doing. Kelley, who volunteered to be a pawn for him doesn’t even want to keep him anymore.
Rylie trusts him way too much and so does Keanu. He may be helped this week if Mickey continues to want Keanu out. Even though he had a complete meltdown from being put on the block, he’s bounced back from it…mostly. The egg costume is giving off more of a fun and playful side to Vince. When you look less stressed, you look less guilty.
ZACH
Hes a mixed bag for me. He gained valuable information from Rachel when they did their punishment. She told him about Mickey trying to target him this week. She also told him Mickey was the one reminding everyone about his 10k. It was easy for him to believe Rachel because Adrian told him the same thing before he left. He also had a meltdown after being put on the block. He at least had the excuse of Ava telling him he was good before her noms.
He was also smart enough not to tell Mickey what Rachel told him. Morgan suggested he tell Mickey to build more trust between them. (So far, he hasn’t) However, he was dumb enough to tell Morgan about his power. To be fair, Morgan never outed Mickeys power to anyone. Maybe it will help him since Morgan was going to keep Vince over Zach buy maybe now she won’t. He told Morgan he didn’t use it because he knew she’d go up. (That’s definitely not why) It may have worked because Morgan’s talking, like Zach should stay if they can’t keep them both.
The craziest thing he’s done this week is hang on to that 10k. I get it, its 10k and you don’t want to give it up or give it to someone who put you otb. He’s just not looking at the odds correctly, though. He has a 2/3 chance of losing the BB comp on Thursday. There’s a good chance he won’t even be otb next week if he stays with 12 people still being in the house. If he only makes it to jury, the jury money is almost 10k. This was a big gamble, even if you felt safe. What makes it worse, he was told by several people he trusts, the vote wasn’t looking good for him.
ASHLEY
Ashley’s came a long way since week 1 but she’s still a target. For the positives, she’s figured out she can’t trust Mickey, Zach or Morgan. She also didn’t have a clue about who was working with who the first week, similar to Keanu. While Keanu has remained in the dark, Ashley may have the best read on the house right now. She’s very, very observant.
She’s also very, very annoying to many people in the house. Even Ava almost put her up this week. She’s fake working with Mickey and Morgan like they’re doing with her. She kind of has Will but Mickey kind of has Will too. (He’s kept her secret about her vote for Jimmy tho)
She could easily go on the block next week as a target or a pawn. It’s good that she’s continuing to pretend to work with Mickey because she doesn’t have much else. She’s got Rachel and that’s about it. She’s had a couple of good talks with Zach to mend things but it’s only because he’s trying to get her vote.
I will say, what’s happening with Mickey isn’t her fault. Mickey just has this weird disdain for Ashley. Mickey told Will she treats Ashley the same way she treats her sisters. (I think someone needs to check on Mickey’s sisters and see if they’re okay?)
RACHEL
She’s gained Keanu this week but lost alot more. The way Morgan and Mickey are playing, they were going to turn on Rachel anyway but she helped them get there faster. She had no business getting in that argument with Morgan about going to jury. She could’ve had the convo with Morgan but not said she was going to the F2. She could’ve said, ‘Morgan, it hurts my feelings to hear people say they just want to get me to the jury house.’ Boom. Done. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled it happened because someone needed to shut Morgan up! Morgan wants to target her now and didn’t before.
Like Ashley, she isn’t to blame for the way Mickey turned on her this week, but it’s still bad for her that it happened. Mickey wants to target her and may even want to keep Vince now because he’ll target her too. (The whole reason Mickey wanted Vince on the block was to break up the Vince/Zach/Morgan thing but she’s letting her anger at Rachel cause her to forget)
I think it’s fine Rachel was sharing info with Keanu and Kelley to try to bring them in to working with her but she picked the wrong info. Unfortunately for her, it backfired because after she told them about the heavy hitters alliance, Keanu repeated it to Vince.
Keanu wasn’t doing it to get Rachel in trouble. He truly doesn’t understand why he shouldn’t have done it. I guess it’s impressive that as the only returning player, she’ll make it to at least week 6 before going otb without winning a comp. Having said that, there’s no way Rachel’s winning this game.
MICKEY
I don’t even know what to say because I can’t comprehend what’s happened to her game. She’s hateful, she’s mean and she only wants to target her allies. I mean, what the hell? She not only got hohitis last week, it’s continued to grow this week! It’s not just who she’s targeting, it’s what determines it.
She’s not targeting Rachel because she sees her as a threat. She’s targeting her because Rachel said she wants to try to win the game too. She gets annoyed with Ashley for daring to have an opinion about anything. She temporarily wanted Morgan targeted for talking to “her friends instead of her own.” I shouldn’t even say temporary because she decides she wants to target Morgan off and on throughout each day. She does the same thing about Ashley.
In just the past few days, she’s said Ava will break a tie however she tells her to and she has 4 votes that will go however she wants and she just needs to decide who she wants to leave. These are only a couple examples of the absurd things Mickey’s been saying.
She also changes her mind about who she wants to work with and who she wants to target every few hours. As soon as someone she’s working with says something she doesn’t like, (and we’re talking small things) she starts targeting them. I guess that might be okay if it stayed in her head. The problem is, she makes the rounds and starts telling everybody about it. Mickey was in a great position and half the house wants to target her now. She’s working hard to ruin her game.
This is funny but accutare:
MORGAN
She’s someone else who is determined to make her target bigger. She not only repeats the same conversation ALL day long, I don’t think she even knows what she’s saying. She’ll go all over the house talking about how she doesn’t understand why people are lumping her together with Vince and Zach. She’ll make another round saying “I’m working hard trying to save my boys,” “those are my 2 boys,” and “how will I choose between my boys?” (I can’t imagine why people see them as a trio, can you?)
She’s like someone who is on a never ending loop. It’s how she got herself in an argument with Rachel and got smacked down. Like Mickey, she changes her mind multiple times a day over who should stay and who should be a target. Mickey does it for reasons we can’t figure out but Morgans are much easier. If Zach is giving Lauren attention, he should go. If he’s hanging out with Morgan, Zach should stay. If Lauren is busy with other people, Morgan should be in analliance with her. If Lauren talks to Zach, Lauren needs to go before jury.
She’s also really sloppy and gives away too much info. She told Keanu that Mickey had alot to do with Ava’s noms. Naturally, Keanu told people (including Mickey) and thats another reason Morgan needs to watch out for a Mickey back stab. I’m not even going to get into the “they only want to talk to me about personal” and the next day, “they only want to talk to me about game” stuff. Apparently she’s going to be fine though, because the wall comp may be this week and if you haven’t heard, Morgan WILL be winning that one!
WILL
Honestly, he’s in an okay spot for now. He’ll have to watch out to avoid going up as a pawn but no one has any issues with Will. He spends most of his time listening to Rachel and Ashley complain about Mickey and Morgan or Mickey and Morgan complain about Rachel and Ashley. He agrees with everything all of them say. I actually have no idea who his preference is or if he even has one.
He says just enough to convince the person he’s talking to that he’s completely with them. He’s going to run into a problem soon (maybe as soon as this week) when all these women want to do different things.
LAUREN
Yes, there’s this person named Lauren, who lives in the house and is also playing the game. She’s being very quiet (as usual) about her vote this week. She definitely plans to keep Vince over Zach and thats a mistake imo. I think Zach would be loyal to Lauren longer than Vince might be. On the other hand, I don’t think anyone suspects Lauren is as close to Vince as she is, so thats good.
For someone that’s already won an hoh, she has almost no agency in the game. Ava didn’t need a pawn this week, but Lauren has a good enough relationship with Ava that she was safe either way. Everyone seems to like her but like Will, I think most people see her as expendable too. She mostly talks game to Vince and I think if he left, it might force her to branch out a little more.
KELLEY
She’s done a pretty decent job this week blending into the background. Rachel’s trying to work with her so thats something. She’s traded Vince for Keanu but neither are loyal to her. I don’t know if she’s sincere about wanting to work with Rachel because all she’s talked about for weeks was wanting to target her. It’s never made any sense because Rachel isn’t targeting Kelley. She recently told Lauren she wants to target Mickey. It would be the smarter move because Mickey’s part of a large group (for now) and Rachel isn’t.
I said when Mickey treated Kelley like shit last week during her hoh, it might come back to bite her. Kelley said she didn’t like the way Mickey was playing the game. She didn’t like the way Mickey told Kelley not to use the veto on herself. Kelly’s also shown she’s capable of winning comps so a Kelley hoh could happen. I definitely don’t trust her to make the best noms for her game, especially with Keanu probably being her advisor.
KATHERINE
Katherine’s been wanting a little agency of her own in the game. She finally got it by winning the veto this week. She also blew it by doing absolutely nothing with it. Sure, she had a few conversations with people but it was the bare minimum. She had Ava’s approval to use it if she wanted and the assurance she and Rylie wouldn’t go up.
I’m not even saying she needed to use it on someone but I think she should’ve had more conversations about it. I also think if she’d actually used it on Keanu, it could’ve gone a long way to working together. Keanu is already loyal to Rylie and that could’ve stuck Katherine in there with them. She can’t depend on Rylie threatening people not to put her up.
She and Rylie should also absolutely NOT want Keanu to leave this week. He’s an easy shield and target to deal with before people can worry about the showmance.
Oops, wrong image!
The veto win could also have the opposite effect. People already talk about getting rid of Katherine when they discuss breaking up the showmance. Now that she’s won a comp, it’s easier to make an argument for it.
RYLIE
Rylie definitely doesn’t want to keep Zach this week. He blames Zsch but not Vince for voting out Adrian. He’s made a few comments that make me think he’s a little jealous of Zach and I think that may be the reason too. He’s gone back in forth between Keanu vs Vince. Keanu is loyal to Rylie and Vince isn’t. This should be an easy choice but it may not be.
He and katherine have debated over who to keep. He tells them both he’s keeping them so I don’t know what he’s doing. (He says yes to everyone, just like Will) For now, Katherine told Ava they were keeping Vince no matter what but who knows?
This is Rylie humping Vinc,e for her lack of a better description. I don’t know if this would be called fertilizing an egg but never mind…
I don’t want to have to say this but I think Rylie might be the best positioned person in the game. Everyone still loves him and I’ve already mentioned, when they talk about splitting up the couple, they never talk about getting rid of Rylie. Mickey was just talking about wanting to take him to the final 5. She didn’t hear him bragging and laughing about him getting a free pass after he yelled and cussed at her.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing he’s done strategically to put himself in this position. Like everyone else, he’s a crappy player too. I’m only saying through no work of his own, he happens to be in a really good spot.
Today should be Rachel pushing for Vince to go. Morgan and Mickey will be pushing for either Zach or Vince to stay, when they’re not talking about jury. Vince will be begging, Zach will flirt with Lauren and Keanu will go behind Rachel reversing any progress she makes trying to keep him.
Have a great Wednesday.
