Hello everyone, its time to get another bad player out the the house and get another bad hoh for a new week. (Woo Hoo) I’mm not really complaining because most of these people are entertainingly bad. I’m going to enjoy that part and just kick back and see how Zach ends up winning the season.
The episode last night was a mixed bag for me. I’m glad the argument between Rylie and Mickey was shown but from listening to them talk on the feeds, there was definitely more to it. Rylie is getting a great edit so far. It’s not just with the Mickey stuff and the pouting, the crying, the anger and so on. His stalker-mance is getting a true showmance edit too.
Yes, I know Katherine said nice things about him in her DR’s but I’m always skeptical to believe the DR’s since they edit them however they want. I have eyes and ears and I know what I’m observing the rest of the time. This man isn’t just obsessive and controlling. He seems to have some anger issues he’s trying to hide imo. (more on that later)
Lauren has made it clear she’s there to play a game to Zach so productions only hope for showmance material is the crying cowboy and a trapped Katherine.
I knew Mickey hadn’t given Jimmy much notice before putting him on the block. I didnt know it was just 18 minutes though. That entire exchange was just so dismissive. Mickey couldn’t even be bothered to look at him while telling him.
I think for more impact, they should’ve shown how Jimmy was steaming her yellow dress and putting lotion on her legs for her while she was getting ready for the first nom ceremony.
I think the only thing I liked about the episode was the way they edited the veto comp. I’m sure it really was intense and it was shown that way. I enjoyed the way it appeared that Rachel was competing for the entire house. (because she was)
I liked how mouthy comp beast Morgan looked so defeated after Rachel creamed her. (It suddenly makes sense why Morgan’s switched up and wants Rachel to go sooner now) Morgan on the feeds would have us believe she almost won the veto but she wasn’t even close.
I liked the awkward silence and expressions from all of them after Keanu won.
I thought I was going to like the interaction between Keanu and Ava except it came off really weird instead. There was definitely some editing done on that one. Even Keanu’s retelling of the situation on feeds was different from what was shown last night. He also went to Ava, almost in tears, to apologize. If all he said, was “I think you have a prompt,” why would he have been apologizing so hard? I believe there was more to it.
Like Jimmy, Keanu’s gotten himself in this situation so it’s hard to feel sorry for him. I’m still glad he won the veto and I blame Mickey for it. At this point, why aren’t they trying to back door him and only let him compete in the block buster comp? (Wait, I forgot. None of them are using good strategy this year)
At least the veto situation only left out some of it. The way they presented how Jimmy ended up on the block was total bullshit. They usually at least start with a grain of truth and twist it or exaggerate it. Last night’s edit was entirely made up.
Similar to the way they gave Zach the credit for tricking Rylie about Mickey’s power, Vince is getting the mastermind edit for Jimmy going up as a replacement nom.
Zach was only one part of tricking Rylie. Keanu, who actually believed Ashley had it, got into Rylie’s head first. Rachel, Ashley and Jimmy did the heavy lifting on that one.
Rachel and Keanu became friends…again…for now:
The timing of Vinny’s conversation with Mickey was at least an entire day off too. Even her DR saying Keanu just confirmed what she already knew was wrong. By the time Mickey and Morgan talked to Keanu, they’d already decided to put Jimmy up. The conversation with Keanu was more about trying to see if they could work with him.
Her talk with Vinny was the next day after Vinny heard his name floating around. Vinny gets a little credit, but not much, for keeping himself off the block but he had nothing to do with Jimmy going up. Okay, I suppose I understand it just a little bit. They need to give someone the strategic edit and they don’t have a lot to work with this season.
Anyway, enought about the episode, let’s get into the live feeds. Yesterday was mostly Jimmy campaigning and Mickey repositioning. There have been several moments you can tell Mickey’s started to realize she messed up but she can’t admit it. She’s already talking about how Vinny needs to go, if she could be hoh again next week she’d take out Vinny, etc.
Besties soon to be seperated:
Jimmy told Rachel and others later, if he stayed his target would be Morgan. He said he would put both Morgan and Vinny on the block. He knows Mickey made the move but feels Morgan is behind it. (mostly true) Jimmy either needs to win the block buster or a miracle because without one of those, he’s leaving tonight.
When Jimmy talked to Keanu, Keanu was sincere that he might keep him. He’d like to have Jimmy in there as another target in the house. He went back and forth throughout the day but after talking to Vince and Lauren, he’s going to evict Jimmy.
Keanu explained why keeping Jimmy might be a good thing. Vince and Lauren explained why it wouldn’t and mostly, Keanu wants to vote with the majority for a change.
Ashley and Mickey have continued to talk and seem to be mending their issues from the week. (That’s another area where Morgan got to Mickey) The night before, there was a lot of Ashley bashing from Mickey, Morgan, Vinny and Zach. Lauren was there but she wasn’t participating as much and at one point, Lauren said they needed to chill out on the Ashley shit talking. (Not in those words)
The point is, you could tell Morgan was still full steam ahead with wanting to target Ashley but Mickey had backed off the idea quite a bit. I think Mickey’s realized that even if she has Rylie and Katherine, (and that’s a big ?) taking out Jimmy and then Ashley isn’t good for her. That would leave Mickey with Will and Ava while Morgan would have Vinny, Zach and maybe Lauren now too.
Mickey talked to Will about her Ashley concerns. She basically felt like Ashley wasn’t supporting her if she was campaigning for Jimmy to stay. (true) She also worries that Ashley can’t keep her mouth shut. (also true)
Mickey and Ashley also talked about the ‘campaigning for Jimmy to stay’ issue. (This came from Keanu) Ashley said it wasn’t true and said she did support Mickey. She told Mickey she was only trying to point out that taking out Jimmy probably wasn’t good for Mickey’s game. She stated again, she was always indifferent as to Jimmy staying or going. That’s the problem, Mickey didn’t want her to be indifferent. She wanted her to be all ‘I hate Jimmy! I hate Jimmy!’
Mickey may not want to target Ashley now but she’s still holding a grudge for things Ashley hasn’t done. It hasn’t helped that as soon as Morgan got out of Mickey’s ear., Ava’s picked up the slack. I don’t know where Ava’s new hatred of Ashley is coming from but she REALLY doesn’t like Ashley anymore.
Mickey’s also pissed that Keanu told Ashley and WIll he’d like to work with them now.
To prove it, Keanu mentioned that he was good with Morgan and Mickey now. To Mickey, this was supposed to be a secret. (Mickey’s mad that Keanu’s telling people he’s good with her. Just imagine how mad she’s going to be when she finds out he’s also lying!)
Kelley asked Vinny for help campaigning, especially if she was against Rylie. She thinks she has a chance to stay even if she’s sitting beside him. (She doesn’t) Vinny agreed but it was probably a lie. How can he resist her when Kelley said things like, “I’m so good at this game.” Even Vinny is ready to let Kelley go because everyone it’s tired of her lying all the time. For example, a couple of days ago, Rachel and Kelley found pee on the bathroom floor. Rachel said the guys need to clean it up because obviously it’s one of them who did it. Kelley ran to Keanu and said, Rachel accused him of peeing on the floor. Naturally, Keanu wasn’t happy with this and asked both Rachel and Jimmy about it. They both explained what Rachel had actually said. This is the type of stuff Kelley is constantly doing and bragging about later.
Vinny is becoming increasingly nervous at the idea of Jimmy staying. He’s been stressing over Rachel, Jimmy and Ashley all possibly targeting him. He’s even more freaked out now that Rachel and Keanu appear to be on good terms again. He knows if Rachel’s not targeting Keanu, then she’s targeting him.
Similar to Vinny but worse, Morgan is starting to spiral herself. It’s gotten back to her that she would be Jimmy’s target if he stayed. She’s both stressed and shocked at the idea. (Morgan’s the type of player I love to see nominated) After going so many weeks feeling safe, the idea of going on the block becomes like an impossibility to player like Morgan.
She and Vinny have both doing a lot to control the game for a month. Here’s the difference though, Vinny knows he’s done too much (most of the time) but Morgan just keep feeling more and more safe.
Vinny’s one blind spot is his lengthy conversations with people. For example, he’ll spend two hours talking to Lauren and then question why people think he’s linked to Lauren.
Side Note:
I’ve completely given up on Lauren at this point. She only wants to talk game with Vinny and Zach. To make it worse, when someone tries to talk game with her, (like Keanu yesterday) she pauses and asks if they can bring Vinny into the conversation.
Kelley trying on a dress for her bday. (Except for the black bra, she was rockin’ it):
Morgan found out from Mickey that Ashley is planning to vote out Jimmy with them, but Morgan told Zach she didn’t care. She said she still wants to target Ashley next week and Zach said he did too. Morgan also said if anyone voted for Jimmy to stay, they would become her targets.
Ava and Mickey had a chat about Morgan. Mickey feels Morgan is gathering too many people. (Basically, Morgan can work all sides, but Jimmy gets a BB house death sentence if he does it) Mickey’s alsoworried that Morgan said if Vinny was ever on the block, she’d use a veto on him. (This cast is it’s simply too honest while also being a bunch of liars) Ava mentioned Rachel telling her that Vinny has final twos with half the house and Mickey said she believed it was true.
Probably Rachel and Jimmy’s last dance:
Old image, I was just saving it for when I needed a shot of Rachel being depressed:
After Rachel trying to campaign for Jimmy all day, Ashley finally told her the votes weren’t there. She said Jimmy didn’t even have the votes if he was against Kelley. She’s disappointed but knows he did too much and got too messy.
Ashley gave a breakdown to Mickey and Will as to how she saw the house. I have to say, she’s pretty good at reading the groupings of people and who’s working together. If she didn’t have such a big mouth, she might not be a terrible player. They discuss making a big move next week and possibly going after Vinny. All three are saying Vinny, Zach and Lauren may need to go soon to weaken that group.
Will still likes Zach but after finding out they tried to flip the vote on last week, obviously he’s skeptical of him now. Ashley also mentioned preferring Rachel in a final 5 with them and Ava over Morgan at this point. She thinks Morgan is too attached to Vinny and Zach. (Ya think??)
Rylie and Katherine spent the day ha ginger out with each other, as usual. Rylie made bracelets for them out of his hat strap. (That’s Rachel in the background cleaning and got a “stop that” because she was climbing on stuff)
More cleaning and more climbing:
I can’t do Rylie and Katherine conversations because they’re too annoying. Here’s a brief summary instead…
Katherine asked Rylie to stop throwing things at her and said it was one of her pet peeves because he’s apparently done it twice when he was annoyed.
He pouted when she didn’t want to sit there and watch him make a sandwich. She was heading to do her makeup and Rylie said she acted like she didn’t care about him.
He wanted her to sit in the bathroom with him while he took a shower.
He told her she was his favorite person in the world. He became annoyed when Katherine said he was one of hers. Rylie responded by asking why her friends were better than him?
Recently, he told her he might propose to her at the finale. He also asked her why she fucking hated him because she said she needed to go pee.
If you don’t have the full picture, here’s a direct quote:
Rylie- “Daddy’s going to show you how to play pool.”
Katherine- “Ewwww.”
Okay, we need a palette cleanser so….
Looks like Ovi from BB21 got married:
Quotes for the week:
Mickey-“I don’t see myself going on the block for the next three weeks.”
Ava-“There’s nothing to do in this house besides sleep and bitch.”
Kelley-“Ava, read my palm, looked at it and said, you can try, but there’s no way to kill this bitch.”
Kelley-“Children of the corn was filmed next to my house.” (It was filmed in Iowa so it’s possible this isn’t one of Kelley’s many lies)
Morgan got pissed because Zach called her mom again.
If you want Jimmy to stay, you better hope he wins that block buster. Mickey thinks Jimmy will only have 1 vote to stay and so do I. As for Rylie, it looks like he’s safe no matter what. It’s like someone said ‘Rylie is safe,’ someone else agreed, and now it’s just what everyone in the house says. I don’t understand why no one is questioning it, especially because they’re already trying to figure out how they’ll be able to take out Katherine with Rylie there protecting her. (Hey, I know, you could just vote Rylie out now and avoid that problem!!!)
I’m ready to move on to what may be another stupid hoh week! Live episode tonight and have a great Thursday!
