Big Brother 27-Thursday Recap for August 14th

Good morning everyone, it was a late night! The hg’s didn’t get to bed until after 3 am last night. There was some talk of missing Zach, some worry over being nominated and a little bit of butt covering last night.

The only relevant thing that happened on the feeds yesterday before they went down was Keanu talking to Rachel about throwing the block buster to Vince. Rachel was practically begging him not to do it. He’d also considered throwing the veto to him because he was so convinced he had the votes to stay. (He didn’t) If Keanu had been sitting with Vince last night, he’d have been evicted. He also could’ve been evicted sitting beside Zach if Rylie and Katherine hadn’t decided to keep him.

When the feeds went down, Rachel still hadn’t convinced him it was a stupid idea. Keanu felt he still needs Vince in the game and he’s not willing to believe Vince has lied to him several times. He spent most of the week campaigning for Vince instead of himself too. Rachel told him to never throw a comp that could save your life in the game.

Julie startled Ava when she started talking during the live episode and said she’d have to break a tie if needed:

When Julie did the block buster comp early yesterday, she was faster than all 3 nominees. Haha Keanu always looks like he’s competing in slow motion but at least he pulled out the win. (Last night, Vince said Keanu flew thru the comp. Ummm, no, he didn’t) I don’t know if Rachel changed his mind about throwing it or if competitiveness and adrenaline simply took over.

Zach was waaay too confident he had the votes, even with allies telling him he might not.

Zach was evicted with a power that could’ve saved his game.

I was soooo glad Julie gave Zach the Marcellus treatment. It was obvious he didn’t know what was happening or get the reference because he doesn’t know the show.

Zach can give all the excuses he wants but they are the same:

Lauren was really upset as the show ended. She was always more loyal to Vince so she’ll be fine. Morgan may not be tho.

Hamsterwatch had alerted us it was going to be the wall comp. Something changed because it wasn’t. I dont know if they changed it because it leaked, if it was never gonna be the wall or if they switched it for something Rachel could win. Haha (Guess it’s possible Morgan could still miss the wall comp after all)

When the feeds came back on, Rachel was the new hoh. (Let the backtracking begin!) It was some kind of memory comp. For Rachel, it couldn’t have came at a better time. Mickey was working on trying to get most of the house to target her this week. Morgan finished 2nd and (maybe) Kelley was 3rd.

Ashley and Will said they were happy for Rachel. (It sounded sincere) Will said she needed it “for her mental.” There was some talk about Mickey trying to make them target Rachel. They both said they wouldn’t have done it. (Probably true) Neither want Mickey to go but both said they’d would understand if she goes otb.

Vince, who already thinks he’s going up, asked Rachel if he could be front doored so he could play the veto. Rachel joked that he wasn’t that important. (It was good natured)

Morgan and Vince talked about Zach. Vince still thinks Ava’s hoh was stupid because he said Zach wasn’t coming after her. He also talked about how Zach would’ve made final 5 and probably final 2. (But Ava’s noms were stupid?) Most of these people are what’s called ‘two sides of the same dumbass.’

Rachel put on a gown for her hoh room reveal. (Of course she did) Mickey complimented it and Rachel said someone named Kenya in Alabama makes alot of her gowns. (Kenya, we need to chat)

Rachel and Kelley talked and Rachel kind of pitched a F2 to her. Kelley also kind of volunteered to go up if needed. Rachel told her to stop volunteering! They also talked about working with Keanu and maybe have a F3.

Keanu talked with Rachel too and said he knew she’d probably put up Vince. She said she may not and may already know what she was doing. (I’m assuming the targets would be Morgan, Mickey and a potential Vince back door)

Rachel asked Keanu to stop telling Vince everything. He said he didn’t. (He does) She told him to stop playing so messy too. (I enjoy these 2 together. She’s trying to work with him. He’s always accidentally hurting her game without realizing it.)

Keanu said he could win vetos and she could win hoh’s. (Rachel said something about Brendon winning vetos when she won hoh’s in the past) They laughed over Rachel saying “you’re not Brendon…but you’re what I’ve got to work with.” (Keanu also told Vince what Rachel said almost immediately)

Katherine started telling Rylie he was great and that she cares about him while he was taking a shower and….Rylie started crying:

After Ashley downplaying the things Mickey was saying this week, she told Rachel Mickey was indeed targeting her. (No shit)

Rachel also asked Ava about it but she said she didn’t her anything. Rachel said she was told Ava was there for the conversation. Ava said she didn’t remember and maybe Morgan said it.

Ava said she ignores Morgan and maybe that’s why she can’t remember. (Rachel had already figured out she’d mostly lost Ava to Mickey last week)

Ava and Will talked about Mickey and Morgan targeting Rachel so she DOES know. Ava said they’re dumb to be doing it. She also said Mickey mostly ran her hoh. (Well, Mickey got out of the bed Ava!)

Mickey with the obligatory ‘congrats on your hoh’ hug:

Mickey also had some opinions last night. She said “if Rachel’s smart, she’d put up Keanu, Kelley and Vince.” Haha

Rylie was definitely having a bad night. Katherine doesn’t want to sleep in the bed with him. I don’t think any of his tears or sadness have anything to do with the hoh comp.

Rachel already knows who she’s nominating and didn’t really feel like sharing it last night. With most of the house after you, it’s hard to go wrong with noms. Vince is a good target and it would split him away from Keanu. Vince isn’t loyal to Keanu but Keanu thinks he is so he tells him everything.

Taking out Morgan might stop Mickey and Vince working together since Morgan’s the connection for them.

Obviously, Mickey’s a good target since shes obsessed with taking Rachel out. At least for now, Mickey has some influence in the house so it would be good to eliminate it. (That may be starting to slip away tho)

I don’t blame Rachel for keeping quiet about the noms. Half her allies have turned against her (Mickey and Morgan) and the ones she has left can’t be trusted.

Ashley, Will and Ava all know what Mickey’s been doing but didn’t tell her. She’s been trying to work with Kelley for weeks but Kelley’s still targeting her.

There’s also Keanu who may be the only one who really does want to keep her long term…..but he’s got a big mouth.

Keanu giving him a pep talk to keep his mouth shut after Rachel gave him a lecture:

Mickey drinking straight from the bottle. I guess after Keanu staying and Rachel becoming the HOH, she wasn’t having a good night:

Nominations will be later today and if nothing else, the week should be interesting. I’m only guessing, but I think instead of worrying about who will be IN the jury, Mickey and Morgan may have to worry this week about MAKING the jury. Have a great weekend!
