Good morning BB Junkies! We’re in the final week which means there isn’t much game to be played. Ashley would disagree and told Ava “there’s a lot of game left to be played” while encouraging her to talk to Morgan. Ashley’s continued to work on Morgan to try to create doubt about her going to the end with Vince. I think she was hoping to get some backup from Ava.
Since I posted Monday, Keanu has been evicted, Morgan won the final 4 hoh and final 4 veto. With Ashley and Ava on the block, Morgan isn’t planning on using the veto and expects Vince to vote out Ava. Ava did eventually try to work on Morgan but she didn’t use most of the talking points Ashley had given her to use. (They were pretty good ones)
In recent days, Ava’s spent more time working on Vince than Morgan. I think she feels like she has a better chance of getting Vince to keep her over Ashley than getting Morgan to take out Vince. Ava’s planted the idea that Ashley has friends on the jury who could give her the win. She’s also tried to cause doubt over Morgan taking him to the end and told Vince, Morgan could take Ashley over him.
Ashley’s been doing something similar with Morgan. She’s trying to make Morgan doubt her votes against Vince and saying taking Ashley would be the better option. Unless Ashley can pull out a win during the final hoh comp, I think she’s a lock for 3rd. It’s either that or she keeps working and convinces Morgan to cut Vince.
Ashley’s done a good job on Morgan and you can tell it’s caused Morgan to question sticking with Vince. Ashley’s gone over votes, the way they’ve each played the game, etc. She’s included some probable lies with some truths and it has Morgan thinking.
The thing is, Morgan actually trusts Ashley’s judgment about the players in the game and she has for a while. While everyone else has been saying Ashley’s useless and hasn’t done anything, Morgan knows that’s not true. She’s trusted Ashley’s reads in the game before and they’ve proven to be correct. I think it’s natural for her to be reluctant to discount the things Ashley’s saying now. Will it be enough? I have no idea.
Naturally, the paranoia is setting in and Vince is needing a lot of reassurance from Morgan that she’s still planning on the two of them going to the end together. He’s doing some great acting or he’s in the middle of a life crisis with the game being almost over. (Maybe both) He’s talked to Morgan more than once about having nothing to look forward to once the game ends. He’s mentioned wishing they could stay in the house and not have it end at all. Most players are so antsy to get out of the house and see the friends and family they’ve missed. That doesn’t seem to be true for Vince.
I think it’s multilayered for Vince and not all about the girlfriend situation. I could be off base but that situation seems to be at the bottom of his list of concerns. He talks more about being lost in life and not knowing what he wants to do with it. He’s also talked a lot about losing Morgan once the show ends. He’s talked about how she’ll be too busy for him, will drop him and so on. Some of it seems like the usual concerns when the game’s almost over. Some of it sounds like he’s fallen for Morgan a little and is worried she doesn’t feel the same. He may also think she feels the same but is worried she won’t anymore, after she gets out and sees that Vince wasn’t actually loyal to her, until he didn’t have a choice.
I think Vince also worries he won’t beat Morgan in a F2. They’ve both won a ton of comps but she lied to a lot less people to get there. I think the people who feel burned the most by Morgan are Jimmy and Mickey but neither of them are on the jury. It’s kind of crazy too because there’s a world where Vince could’ve won. (Obviously, he still could because anything’s possible) I hope eventually Vince realizes a lot of his lies weren’t necessary. If he wouldn’t have led people on when it came to his nominations and his votes, he could’ve still been the front runner.
A lot of his mistakes, he caused on his own. Why would you tell someone you’re not putting them on the block a few hours before you put them on the block? He let people like Kelley and Keanu get blindsided repeatedly with his vote, instead of telling them ahead of time. Sure, they would’ve been upset with him if he gave some bullshit reasons for how he was voting but it was better than blindsiding them.
Vince joked about the Judges being the only secret he’s kept in the game. (Not really) There was finally a discussion about Keanu’s hoh week and the attempt to trick Morgan. However, Vince didn’t come clean about being a part of it. These are the kinds of things I think he’s worried about Morgan finding out. She’s also still accusing him of wanting to take Lauren to the end. I think there’s a part of her that knows circumstances are the only reason Vince ended up being loyal to Morgan. (Ashley’s continued to push this idea)
Morgan talked to herself and questioned what she was going to do, standing in front of the memory wall. That’s an indication that makes me think it’s not a done deal for her to stick with Vince. It makes me think Ashley also got into Morgans head about needing to go against Vince at the finale if they’re sitting there together. Morgan was saying she didn’t think she could do it, and Ashley was telling her that she’d have to if she wanted to win. It’s subtle but Ashley’s trying to plant the idea that
Morgan and Vince have been sharing the hoh room with their back to back wins. It was almost comical watching them change bed positions as soon as the hoh changed. The only difference is, Morgan was fine with the head to foot sleeping arrangement but Vince isn’t. The other night, he stood at the side of the bed reluctant to get into it. It’s obvious it was because he didn’t t want to sleep head to foot. I think he was waiting for an invitation to lay head to head and Morgan was reluctant to offer it.
They ended up sleeping the normal way but kept the pillow barrier. Last night, Vince tried to cross it with a bit of a snuggle or arm caress. Morgan pushed his hand away and said something about it being too hot. It may be because it truly is platonic as far as Morgan’s concerned. (That’s what I think) It could also be the doubt she’s having over them going to the end together.
It’s also obvious Morgan and Vince had some kind of coded conversation that may be outside of the game. I know some people think it alluded to Vince perhaps making a pass at Morgan at some point, which she’d shut down. She was saying it confused her and sounded like she wanted him to explain. He talked like he couldn’t but would when the show ended. I couldn’t make much sense out of it so I’m not going to speculate. Let’s be honest, do most of us even care? I know I don’t.
Morgan getting a birthday facial from Ashley:
Vince may be really nervous tonight because Morgan told him she had a girls night sleepover planned for the hoh room tonight. I know we don’t mind Vince squirming but it still feels like odd timing. There’s only four people in the house and you’re going to isolate one of them? That just feels weird to me. They’ll be another episode tonight so we can finally get this show back on the road. Have a great Wednesday.
