It’s waffle Wednesday but there won’t be any waffling since many of the players haven’t made a decision on the votes. They may have secretly, but they’re saying things like, ‘I’ll probably do this’ and ‘I’m leaning towards that.’ Lauren’s quietly feeling people out about keeping both Adrian and Kelley over Will. This wasn’t her original plan as Will was only her pawn, but she doesn’t have a game connection with him. Sure, they were in the Bond alliance together but she said they’ve never talked game with each other.
Here’s the ironic thing though… It’s possible it could be a tie which Lauren would have to break. Naturally, she doesn’t want to do that, but it’s funny. The entire reason she didn’t put Ashley on the block was because she doesn’t want to make waves or pick a side. If she was going to be the hoh to finally draw a line between sides, it would’ve been better if she’d done it over Ashley, not Will.
Another problem for Lauren and some of the others is how they see the house as being 2 sides when it isn’t. It’s more like overlapping alliances and groups of people working together who are targeting each other. All this working together stuff is just trying to get safety in case certain people win the next hoh.
There’s the heavy hitters with Jimmy, Rachel, Zach, Morgan, Vince and past tense) Rylie. Rylie would never meet with them and some of them have wanted to kick him out and replace him with Micke. (the others barely met at all) They finally got around to doing this yesterday. Zach and Jimmy invited Micke into the alliance and she awkwardly accepted.
Later, the 6 of them met up and made it official. This alliance is hilarious because Rachel and Micke want to target Vince. Vince and Zach also want to target them.
Inside of this 6, Morgan, Vince and Zach have a F3 and Jimmy, Morgan and Micke have a F3. Vince and Zach also found out that Micke told Adrian, she suspected Morgan, Vinny and Zach were a trio. (That’s made the rounds all over the house after Adrian told Zach, Vinny and Lauren about it)
Zach and Vinny have both told Morgan what Micke said but she told them she doesn’t believe it. (I don’t know what Morgan believes because I haven’t seen her confront Micke about it yet) It would also be good for her to talk to Micke about it so Micke would know to stop telling Adrian shit!
On top of that, Lauren is concerned about it because she also has a F3 with Vinny and Zach. She has a F2 with Vinny and a F2 with Ava too.
Vinny has a F3 with Keanu and Rylie, a F2 with Kelley, a F2 with Jimmy and another F2 with Zach. (Confused yet?)
Everyone suspects Adrian, Keanu and Kelley have a F3 but secretly, Adrian doesn’t like Keanu. The house sees them as a trio though. Adrian and Keanu are both working with Kelley seperately.
Morgan helping people practice for the wall comp:
Keanu and Kelley talked about making a F6 and pulling Rachel into the outside of it. This is because Rachel’s convinced both of them then she’s alone and has no one. They feel like they can use her for a while.
The rest of the house is a mess too. Jimmy is back to hanging out with Rachel, Micke and Ashley. (Morgan’s in this group too but she’s with Vinny and Zach alot of the time) They’re working with him but they’re skeptical of him now after his hoh week.
Jimmy damaged his game with them in order to gain extra numbers in Lauren and Katherine. This ended up being a miscalculation because they don’t trust him anymore either.
I can’t pick on Jimmy too much because the rest of them aren’t doing much better. Morgan trusts Zach and Vinny waayyy too much and knows they’re worried about Micke. Thats fair tho becauae Micke didn’t tell Morgan that Adrian would target her either. Micke, for some reason, decided to work with Adrian last week and gave him info and Adrian ran it all back to Zach.
Ashleys been sabotaging Morgan’s game from week 1 but Morgan doesn’t see it yet. Rachel also believes Ashley too much and seems to trust Morgan less now. Rachel doesn’t realize that Morgan may be willing to keep her in the house longer than almost anyone else.
She’s in good with Micke and Ashley but they don’t always agree.
Last week she wanted to keep Amy over Adrian and this week, she wants to keep Kelley over Adrian. (Rachel’s picked up on that Adrian will link up with Vince and Zach over Morgan and Micke and she’s right)
She has aF2 with Ava but Ava also has another one with Lauren so are either of them real? I get it, it’s only week 3, I’m just demonstrating that there are definitely NOT 2 sides in this house. (I didn’t even get to Katherine and Rylie just roaming around on their own)
Keanu is still on this thing where he thinks is he can work with Rachel again. His sales pitch is hilarious because he basically told her, he thinks she’s a floater this season and can probably help her out. (You can imagine how well that way over)
At first, Rachel didn’t want to get specific with info but eventually, she tried telling Keanu that Vinny was playing everyone.
While alone, Keanu said he and Rachel see the game differently and he thinks he sees it correctly. (If you listen to him, he thinks he’s the inly one in the house who see things correctly) He doesn’t think she knows what’s going on and believes he can trust Vinny (He can’t)
Keanu is both amusing and frustrating. Someone who admittedly only watched video compilations of some seasons before entering the house, thinks he knows more than someone’s who’s already played the game twice and won once. It’s not just Rachel, he does this with everyone.
Rachel working out in a gown:
There was a lot of napping yesterday with some game talk sprinkled into the mix. Micke heard about Keanu saying she was trying to cook her way to the top and it pissed her off. She confronted him about it, he denied it, they hugged, but she was still pissed.
Lauren and Katherine talked about wanting to keep Kelley this week and hopefully Adrian too. Lauren said Kelley will take the shots for them that she doesn’t want to take herself. (Yeah, I think we figured that one out) They also talked about liking Jimmy but not trusting him at this point.
Katherine complained about Morgan being in all the rooms, having too many conversations with people and doing too much. Katherine is very annoyed with Morgan….and slop.
Katherine also doesn’t like how Rachel is trying to in her words, “talk to people a lot and build relationships with them.” I guess my question to Katherine would be why aren’t you doing that too???
Morgan, Vinny and Zach talked about who to keep this week. Morgan’s trying to push for will and Zach and Vinny are going to push for Adrian. (I’m assuming this is one of those conversations that irritated Katherine)
Jimmy and Rachel used the fake strawberries to count votes and almost got caught by Kelley. One thing Rachel does well is cover up game talk when someone comes into a room. She immediately made it seem as if they were playing a game with the strawberries and Jimmy didn’t miss a beat either. It was kind of funny.
Morgan and Adrian talked and she admitted she was leaning towards keeping Will but said it could change. The rest of their talk turned into a ‘who needs it more competition.’ They had this talk while Rachel was in the room with him. (Weird)
Later, when Rachel told Ashley about it, she said it kind of annoyed her. (I agree, something I am finding myself doing a lot this season with Rachel. That’s weird too) She said she doesn’t like the ‘who needs it more’ talk. Her philosophy is, if you need money, get a job. If you want to play big brother, come play big brother. (Adrian does tend to talk like he deserves it because he needs it. I think Morgan chimed in about how she needs it because she’s so competitive….about everything)
As I mentioned, Zach, Lauren and Vinny made their F3 official yesterday. Zach also suggested to Lauren they make another alliance and include Katherine and Rylie. She was hesitant because she thinks Katherine could be targeted as early as next week. (She may be trying to avoid making big decisions but she’s somewhat decent at reading the game)
Ashley complained to Micke about everyone being fake when they talked to Keanu. (I didn’t see this, but it sounded like Ashley called out Micke in front of people about doing it) In the talkI heard, Micke was kind of letting Ashley have it. She said she didn’t appreciate being put on blast by Ashley and basically called Ashley a hypocrite. She reminded Ashley how she was very fake when she was around Jimmy because Ashley knows Jimmy wants her out. Ashley tried to make some excuses and say it wasn’t true but Micke didn’t give her an inch. Micke does seem to be the one person Ashley will apologize to for things….eventually.
I also think Micke is sincerely trying to help Ashley in the game. Earlier, she reminded her why she may have been targeted the first week. She told her how she needed to pick up after herself and help around the house. Micke said those are the kinds of things that can get you put on the block early in the game.
Adrian and Lauren talked about why he was the one she chose to be nominated. She blamed it on jimmy, Rachel, Micke, morgan and Ashley. (Adrian’s questioning of people is a little aggressive, especially for someone who has their ass is on the block)
When he talked to Morgan, he also sounded like he was interrogating her instead of asking for a vote. Lauren may not have liked it either because later, she said whoever left this week, left. Earlier she was really wanting Adrian to stay but later in the day, she didn’t seem to care anymore.
Lauren told Vinny about her conversation with Adrian. She also said she didn’t want anyone saying she would be willing to break a tie in Adrians favor. She said she was afraid he might try to use it to get votes this week.
Although it may have helped convince Lauren to put up Adrian, Mickey, Morgan and Ashley aren’t happy with Jimmys approach. They didn’t like it when they found out Jimmy promised Lauren safety for several weeks from all of them if Ashley didnt go up. Micke said if she wins HOH, Lauren would go on the block anyway. (Hopefully, this is just talk because she’s got bigger targets in my opinion)
Keanu made his usual rounds spreading all his game knowledge, which is wrong. He thinks Rachel has no one in the game, said she’s definitely not working with Morgan and he’s also convinced he can get Jimmy and Rachel to keep Adrian this week.
Keanu also wants to target Morgan and Mickey because he thinks that side of the house will fall apart after they’re gone. (He thinks Morgan and Mickey are doing most of the things Vinny is actually doing) Rachel was successful in convincing Keanu she wasn’t behind everything. She wasn’t successful in convincing him it was Vinny.
After another talk with Ashley, Micke and Morgan, it sounds like Rachel is convinced it would be better for them for Kelley to leave this week. (Or she’s just agreeing for now) Hnestly, I’m not sure it matters. They can both win comps and they would both target her. They’re also both working with Zach, Vinny and Lauren. I’d lean towards Rachel being right because Adrian is at least getting some info from Micke that he’s running back to Zach. No one tells Kelley anything of real value.
More wall comp practice:
Most of them do it, but Morgan is the most annoying talking about the wall comp. We’ve dealt with this in past seasons and last year, it was all about the slip and slide. At this point, I wish they wouldn’t do the wall comp at all this year. I’m sure they will because they always do but if they didn’t, maybe we wouldn’t have to listen to them talk about it every damn day! I’d trade the excitement we get for all of about 45 minutes to get players to shut up about it every season. (My pitch to production to skip it this season: How about expect the unexpected?)
Will talking about Rachel being a nice person and how he didn’t expect it:
Adrian helping with Micke’s hair:
I saw this and thought it was perfect because its so true, haha:
Have a great Wednesday everyone!
