Hey y’all! This isn’t my typical recap since my posting on Thursdays is kind hit or miss. This one’s more of an overview. Anyone could still go home tonight based on the feeds from yesterday. The only scenario that’s looking kind of set is the one with Keanu winning the block buster. If that happens, I think Keanu, Ashley and Morgan will vote out Lauren.
If Lauren wins it, Vince will probably have to break a tie. Lauren and Ava want to keep Kelley and Morgan and Ashley want to keep Keanu. This is still a tricky spot for Vince because he’s promised Morgan he’ll keep Keanu and he’s promised to Lauren he’ll keep Kelley. (Unless he’s changed his mind, he’s planning on getting rid of Kelley) He wouldn’t be doing this one for Morgan because he thinks it benefits his own game to get rid of her.
The absolute worst situation for him is if Kelley wins the block buster. This is the most direct choice for him between Morgan vs Lauren. I’ve already said I think he needs to evict Lauren and appease Morgan at this point. He ruined his final 2 option with Lauren the moment he started discussing putting her on the block. Sure, its not good for his game if she leaves, but it’s also not good for him if she stays anymore.
I think it’s win, win, win for entertainment. If keanu leaves, he deserves it. He can’t be told anything he doesn’t already thinks he knows. He’s sure Vince wants to keep him, he’s sure Kelley will vote to keep him and so on. He’s repeatedly been shown he’s been mistaken but just ignores it. Maybe a chat with Julie after being evicted would finally get him to admit he doesn’t know everything.
Personally, Kelley can’t leave soon enough for me. She’s another one who thinks she knows what’s happening but doesn’t. She also thinks a lot of people want to keep her and take her to F2. If she leaves, it’s a major win for the game of big brother in my opinion.
If Lauren leaves, that’s ok too. Yeah, yeah, she’s a “fan of the show and deserves to be there.” If you’re a fan of the show, does that mean everyone should just keep you and you deserve to go to the final 2? I don’t think so. She was shown multiple times she couldn’t trust Vince and was warned by multiple people. Her campaigning sucked, if you can even call it campaigning. The only reason I’d be a tad bummed if she left is I have this vision of Vince, Morgan and Lauren, in the final three, he wins the final hoh and has to pick between them. That could be entertaining.
Yesterday, Ashley was able to show Morgan how it may not even be possible to take Lauren out next week. (We know it could be tonight) First, they were thinking they’d have to put Vince on the block with Lauren so he couldn’t use a veto on her. That’s actually not enough because if Keanu leaves, Kelley and Ava would just evict Vince. The ball had already been rolling with possibly taking out Lauren, but this knowledge kicked it into overdrive.
Although she won’t fully accept it, Ashley also FINALLY convinced Morgan that Lauren is Vince’s real final 2. This was something else that was already in motion but Ashley finally got the ammo she needed. During Lauren’s painful campaigning to both Morgan and Ashley, Lauren was telling them she wouldn’t forget what Vince had done and insinuated she’d put him on the block. This didn’t work because Morgan used it against Vince. She said, if Lauren was going to put him on the block, she needed to go.
Yesterday, Vince talked to Lauren and gave her talking points on how to campaign to them again. He explained that they needed to hear she’d forgiven him and wouldn’t put him up. This was after Lauren had given up and asked Vince to campaign for her. She went back to them, changed her tune, said she loved Vince and wouldn’t target him.
Later, Ashley told Morgan, the whole thing sounded rehearsed. She said Vince is obviously telling Lauren what to say to them and it’s because she’s his real final 2. This got discussed and was rehashed some more with Vince. Naturally, he’s denying it but Morgan told him she’s not stupid. I won’t bother getting into all the rounds Vince and Morgan had arguing because it’s just more of the same. Vince thinks it’s better for his game if Lauren stays and Morgan knows it’s better for her game if she goes. (That’s the gist anyway)
Ashley also talked to Ava and tried to flip her too, but that wasn’t going to happen. Ava told her she’d already promised Lauren and wasn’t going to change it, but told Ashley to do what she needed to do. Ashley at least put in enough work so that Ava won’t be upset with her if she votes Lauren out. She explained Lauren’s new pitch and said if Lauren isn’t going to go after Vince, why would she want to keep her? Ashley said she doesn’t need another person in the house that will protect Vince. Ava fully agreed with her on this point.
Ashley was trying to work with Keanu but has given up on it. She’d given him info that he’d ran back to Vince and called him out on it yesterday. Ashley, getting on board with wanting Lauren to go is strategic. It’s not because she wants to work with Keanu. She should have known because she’s the one that kept telling Rachel to give up on Keanu when she was still in the house.
When Ashley asked him about it, he just blew it off like it wasn’t important. For some reason, he did think it was important to tell her she couldn’t beat anyone in the house except maybe Vince. He wasn’t convinced though, because he said Ashley’s the only person Vince might be able to beat. He also told her Kelley would beat her in a f2. He told her he thinks Kelley will want to keep Ashley around for that reason. He’s also still saying no one’s going to beat him. (I don’t know why he thinks this is a good idea to spread around the house but whatever)
Keanu had a similar conversation with Morgan later in the day. It wasn’t quite the same since he was telling Ashley she just can’t win. Keanu was confirming to Morgan that Vince told him, he didn’t want to go to the final 2 with Morgan. He also said something about Vince having on Lauren goggles. Morgan thought it was interesting because she says the same thing. Keanu told her he knew that and that’s where he got it from. This let Morgan know that Vince shares the things she says to him with Keanu. Keanu also gave her the spiel about how no one could beat him and went on to say, he’s the only person in the house that would have the courage to take her to the end. Yes, he told her it’s because he would win anyway.
Random Tidbits, Quotes and Tweets:
While pretending to listen to Keanu, Vince told him he made a lot of sense. Keanu told him it’s because he’s the only one in the house that thinks logically. Later, Morgan complained to Keanu about Lauren’s pitch sounding rehearsed. Keanu told Morgan, it’s because he says a lot of things and he’s very logical. He said obviously, Lauren’s overheard him and that’s where she got her information.
Reaction to Morgan’s zing:
Keanu told Vince, Lauren was trying to use her body to get him to keep her this week. He said she’s used to “men fawning all over her” and said that’s why she was bending over in front of him. (I don’t like Lauren as a player because she’s so meek. However, she’s never done anything even remotely close to what Keanu was saying)
Reaction to Morgans zing:
Kelley mentioned the blockbuster comps are the only thing thats saved Keanu this season. She said, if not for them, he’d have been gone long ago. (How in the hell does she think she’s still there?)
More reactions:
Kelley said she’s very entertaining, and America loves her. She also thinks it’s funny that she and Rachel went “head to head” this season. She says it’s because their so much alike and their storylines were very similar. (What??)
Another one:
Vince told Lauren, Kelley lies so much, he doesn’t even think her name is Kelley.
Keanu said he’s excited to see youtubers breaking down all the details of his game. (Yikes!)
Funny tweet:
Keanu and Ava agreed, their season will be talked about “for years to come.” (Haha)
Another tweet:
Vince quote to Morgan: “Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, you took over my hoh…. nothing I wanted to happen, happened…. none of these were my decisions, other than me making the decision.”
Kelley quote (first to Keanu, and eventually to everyone in the house, including Vince): “It was nice of Morgan to let Vince sleep in her hoh room all week.”
Another tweet:
Ava quote: “I’d for sure win America’s Favorite Player, if Rachel hadn’t been here.”
Ava in the veto meeting:
Kelley to Keanu: “Do you think Rylie’s going to be mad that I took all his clothes?” (Keanu asked if she stole his clothes and she proceeded to name off several clothing items she stole from him in order to keep them)
Dead Zingbot:
Morgan, while talking about Kelley’s claims that Rachel was mean to her: “You can’t fuel the flame and then be mad when you get burned.”
Lauren to Vince: “It’s so stupid, I’m so mad, I wish I’d just won bb comics.” (The comp that could’ve sent Morgan home last week if Lauren hadn’t thrown it)
Lauren to Vince: “I’m incapable of turning on you. I only said that because it worked for Morgan.”
Kelley to Keanu: “If the veto gets used on you, can you just say no?”
Vince: “Are you going to sleep downstairs the rest of the week now that you’re done taking over my hoh?” Morgan: “No Vince, I can sleep at the end of the bed like a dog since you know I follow you around like a puppy.” (Haha)
Keanu: “No one beats me in the final two.” Ashley: “Morgan’s been playing a very good game and she could possibly beat you.” Keanu: “No, no, if she were to beat me in a final 2, no one voted on game. It was just personal.”
Kelley to Ava: “The opportunities the show is going to bring us is other worldly.”
Morgan and Vince screaming into pillows:
Yeah, double eviction tonight! I don’t really think there’s a bad outcome for it. I think if either Morgan or Vince goes, the feeds will be dead for the rest of the season. That’s not much of a big deal though since the season’s almost over. Have a great Thursday!
