Good morning and it really is a good one! Rylie’s gone and I’m fine with whatever happens this week. I’m also glad jury wasn’t announced last night. They seem to be going back to a 7 person jury and I like it!
What did some of the hg’s learn this week? Lauren learned Rachel doesn’t bluff and Kelley & Katherine learned Rachel wasn’t “trying to quit by putting up Rylie.” That was Kelley and Katherine’s theory. (No ladies, she was playing Big Brother, maybe you should try it) I’ve got to head out to bid some jobs so let’s just get into the day yesterday…
Before the feeds went down, Vince cried (alot) and told both Morgan and Rylie he was keeping them. He also asked Morgan if she’d still be friends with him if he voted her out at some point. She said yes, but not if it was today. (haha)
Rylie cussed alot and talked more trash about Rachel. Vince told him he’d heard that during Ava’s hoh, Rylie suggested she put up Vince. Rylie started in on Rachel again and said “she’s a grown ass f*cking woman who’s lying on tv with f*cking kids.” Vince said “Ashley told me.” (Haha) There were some bro hugs with Rylie, Vince and Keanu reinforcing their Unexpendables alliance. (Its only real to Keanu)
Mickey talked to Katherine and again said she and Rylie would vote to keep each other. (She finally figured out she couldn’t vote to keep Rylie WHILE she was on the block so thats progress) I only saw Mickey campaign for Rylie to stay this week. I never saw her campaign for herself, other than to say “I know I’m good.” (If she only knew)
Vince continted to be a mess all day and Rachel tried to give him a pep talk. Vince said he would keep Morgan over Rylie but he was going to upset a lot of people. Rachel said “too bad, that’s big brother.” He said he was afraid he was going to be hated if he made the move to vote out Rylie. She told him they didn’t come there to play scared. (OK, Rachel’s pep talks may not involve coddling)
Vince also talked to Ava again but we went into the live show not knowing what would happen. I could be wrong, but I think Vince was subtly trying to get Ava to keep Rylie. That way, he could keep him and tell Morgan the votes weren’t there to keep her. (This entire cast gets accidentally pushed into doing what’s best for their games)
Mickey won the block buster while Morgan and Rylie buzzed in with a minute to spare. It’s possible Morgan couldn’t see Mickeys number but Rylie definitely could. I’m not surprised since this is the same guy who talked Lauren into using the veto after Katherine had talked her out of it.
Ava wasn’t meant for high stress situations. She and Vince went to talk, which they’d planned to do in advance. Rachel interrupted them after I heard Ava say “Morgan.” (Morgan what? I didnt know what it meant) I was sure Morgan was gone but at the last minute, Vince told Keanu he’d heard Rylie would target him. Keanu said it wasnt true and then it was time to vote. (This was the original plan the judges came up with for Keanu this week. Vince was supposed to confirm to Keanu that Rachel was telling the truth about Rylie but he never did it)
The first hurdle in the vote was Mickey but in the end, she probably figured she couldn’t vote against Will and Ashley. Vince came thru and voted to keep Morgan. Next up was Vince and he voted to keep Morgan too. (It would’ve been so stupid for him to vote her out. Most people don’t get someone in the game as loyal to them as Morgan is to Vince)
Ava was next and in spite of her aura-less personal preference, she kept Morgan too. (Keeping Rylie would’ve been dumb for Ava’s game, whether she knows it or not) Like I said, when this cast does what’s best for their game, it goes against what they’re wanting to do!
After a long hug goodbye: (Katherine will be fine ya’ll)
The creepy cowboy was evicted….and I’m officially done talking about him.
The only exception is to mention all his exit interviews were canceled for today. The reason CBS gave was “scheduling issues.” Really? Rylie already had plans for today? Haha I read he’s also made his facebook page private already. (Good choice Rylie)
We had a weird Boston Rob appearance and I bet anything he’s never watched Big Brother.
The feeds came back with Rachel hosting the wall comp. (Cute conductor)
Wall comp beast Morgan was out 3rd and is a have not this week, along with Ashley and Will. They were the only two people she beat in the comp. Mickey said Ashley sounded like she was in labor with the sounds she was making during the comp. (Mickey was correct) It came down to Katherine and Vince with Lauren coming in 3rd. Vince tried to make a deal with Katherine but she didn’t seem interested. She may regret that decision since Vince is the new hoh.
Vince was relieved after such a stressful day. He said he needed the win and Keanu agreed. Keanu said “you’ve got a couple of people upset with you.” Keanu is one of them but he hugged Vince and said it was okay.
Keanu will apparently forgive Vince for blindsiding him with the vote not once, but twice. He doesn’t seem to be extending this same level of forgiveness to Rachel. Don’t get me wrong, he’s talking to her but he’s upset with her. He asked Rachel how she managed to pull it off? She said she didn’t know what he was talking about and Keanu said “it’s impressive.” (He’s not really impressed)
Mickey talked to Katherine and Katherine let Mickey know she was still upset. She said she still loved Mickey though. (She doesn’t)
Rachel gave Vince his props and said endurance comps are hard. He said they’ll talk and figure out what he’s going to do. (He’s not really gonna consult Rachel but he’ll pretend)
Ava apologized to Morgan for crying so much after the vote. Morgan said it was fine and told Ava that her vote saved her. She also said Julie scared her when she announced the vote. (Julie did the occasional reverse name thing) They also talked about the stuff Mickey’s been doing, like trying to get their group to not trust each other.
Side note:
I have to say, I’ve been impressed with Morgan the past week. She handled going on the block well, was honest with Rachel when they talked about the things she’d said and really put in work to get back in with Rachel, Ashley, Will and Ava. (Ava may still not like her. I don’t know) Sure, she lost the wall comp she’s been talking about since week 1 but she stayed on a 5-4 vote so there’s that…
Morgan told Ava (and also Rachel) about Mickey telling Morgan she didn’t know what she was going to say to Katherine. Mickey admitted to her she’d told Katherine she would keep Rylie over Morgan. (That was a choice)
Keanu told Vince he should put up and put Rachel up as a pawn. He said “if she goes home, oops.” They both agreed. Mickey should go up as a target and Keanu was pushing for Ashley to go up too.
Morgan and others tried to give Katherine a pep talk. She doesn’t want to hear it, it’s too soon. I get it, as dysfunctional as whatever that was, she spent almost all of her time with Rylie. Katherine will basically be starting over. She’s close to Lauren and has a good relationship with Ava. She’s also had some fecent instincts about the game but hasn’t really been able to play it. I guess now, we’ll finally get to see her try.
Some of them really wanted to go to bed and did after Vince read his hoh letter from his girlfriend. They trickled out one by one until Vince was alone.
While alone, Vince said he was getting ready to make even more people mad this week. I’m sure he is since he’s definitely putting up Mickey. She’s so sure it won’t be her, she’s already asked to host the veto comp.
Morgan came back to the hoh room as Vince was getting ready for bed. The beginning of the season, Vince called Kelley a knat but Morgan is the true knat. (Thats a compliment btw) I’ll giver her this much, she pushes hard for what she wants. Mickey is Vince’s target (it seems) and he suggested putting up Ava and Ashley with her. He asked Morgan if she’d be upset with Mickey going up and she said no.
Morgan pushed against Ava and Ashley and said the Judges would be finished if he did. She said he needed to give the alliance a chance. They talked about putting up Katherine and maybe Kelley. Morgan started complaining about Lauren and Vince said he wasn’t putting up Lauren. (He shut that down quickly) Vince said he won’t put up Lauren, Keanu, Morgan or Will but everyone else was an option.
He plans on having conversations with everyone else today and we’ll have to wait and see. He may really not know what he wants to do. He may already know and didn’t want to tell Morgan yet. Mickey’s an easy target that won’t upset anyone except Mickey. His problems going to come with the two people he has to nominate beside her.
Keanu may be the new ‘who flipped’ guy:
Sometimes fake allies turn into real ones, given enough time. I think Vince is actually working with Keanu now, at least for a while. Why not? There’s only three men left in the house, Keanu could be a target in front of him, AND the guy keeps forgiving Vince for everything. What’s not to like about working with him?
Vince won’t have to take as much heat as he thought he would for flipping his vote. Winning hoh will do that but with this cast, who knows? Keanu may be angrier than he’s letting on but is keeping his mouth shut since Vince is in charge this week. He told Kelley he was surprised Vince flipped and Kelley said “I’m not.” (I wonder who Kelley’s #1 will be now)
Keanu may be more upset with Rachel than he’s letting on too. He spent over a month thinking he’s running the house. Last night, he started to worry that Rachel may be. (She isn’t) When Keanu told Vince he should consider putting up Rachel, he said it’s crazy that all three of her noms are good with her now. (Mickey’s not and Vince is just terrified of her) It’s funny that Keanu’s biggest wish has been Vince and Rachel working together. Now that Vince may be trying, Keanu doesn’t seem very happy about it. Haha
I don’t know if Vince will keep Rachel off the block this week or not. I do know his noms are going to show if he’s leaning more Lauren or more Morgan tho. His vote last night let him keep bot, but his hoh this week could mess that up. If anyone from the Judges goes up, he’s going to upset Morgan. If Katherine goes up, he’s going to upset Lauren. Either way, I’m expecting a fun day. Have a great weekend!
