BB Comics, 12:34
on herself
Morgan won the BB Comics Power of Veto with herself, Ashley and Will already on the block. Ashley came out frustrated over mistakes that cost her time, while Morgan celebrated her second straight veto win and quickly confirmed she planned to use it on herself. Attention then turned to Lauren’s replacement nominee and whether Keanu could end up vulnerable in the Blockbuster.
Spoilers: Rachel went to jury in a twist. The Masked Voice returned. Lauren won HOH and nominated Morgan, Ashley and Will.
MORGAN WON the Power Of Veto Competition!!
7:55pm The live feeds return from being blocked for the veto comp. It was the BB Comics comp.
Bedroom – Kelley and Ashley
Kelley – Good try, Ashley. Did you have fun? Ashley – Thanks. Yeah, it was fun. I could have probably won that. I just f—ed up on Rachel’s and Zach’s. I probably spent like 45 minutes on Rachel. I knew you could do well with that. And I didn’t even think about it. I should have just switched it, pressed the button and then switched the other. Like, just to guess I was too busy trying to get everything 100 percent right. Kelley – Yeah. Ashley – So I’m so annoyed. It’s Keanu and blockbuster. It’s not looking good.
Ava joins them. They talk about how if the blockbuster is the rope comp she would do better than Keanu at it.
Ava – You’ll be all right, girl. Ashley – I know. I just feel like I didn’t do my best. Like when I left, I knew I didn’t want, you know, when you left. And you’re like, I didn’t do my best. I was like, damn, if I did my best, I would feel fine. But it was like I got tripped up and I didn’t even think, you know, when you’re nervous, you didn’t even think, I’m like, all I could have done, all I needed to do was guess I could have switched it out. Hit it. I mean, 3rd wins you nothing, second wins nothing. Honestly, third’s better than second for me. Second, I’d be more mad because it’s like, oh, right there, that’s crazy. Lauren was 30 seconds. Ava – All it takes is one slip up. Actually all it takes is for him to feel just a little too over confident, maybe he doesn’t move as fast. Ashley – I am just so mad at myself. Ava – don’t be mad at yourself. You can’t beat yourself up. It’s going to be okay! Ashley – I just can’t believe my BB life is going to rely on a freaking blockbuster and I’m basically competing alone.
8:10pm Kitchen – Vince and Morgan
Vince – Oh my God. I’m so f—ing proud of you. You f—ing crushed that. You f—ing.. Morgan – Can we just stay up late tonight and just like personal talk and just celebrate for a little bit. Vince – I would love that so much. Top 7 guaranteed. Morgan – We have to survive this double. Vince – we’re gonna be here till Thursday. We gotta survive the double evictions. Morgan – I am freaking out right now. Vince – Two in a row! I can’t win a freaking veto to save my life!
Lauren joins them. Morgan suggests they have their “HOH talk” later. Lauren – to find out what you want to do with your veto.
8:20pm Kitchen – Keanu and Vince
Vince – I know, one of us is going against Ashley. Keanu – well so. I mean, to be honest, I feel like there’s no way you go home if you go out there because Morgan won’t vote against you. I don’t trust her at all to not vote me out if I’m on the board. She definitely won’t vote you out.
Morgan returns and the conversation ends.
8:25pm – 8:35pm Backyard – Keanu and Kelley
Keanu – I’m SO annoyed! Hopefully that elimination game is one that we can manufacture her leaving. Kelley – yeah. Well we don’t know what it will be. You know if Vince is here he’ll make sure she stays over the two of us. Keanu – What Lauren needs to do is make sure Vince goes up there cause we can make sure that Vince stays. She’ll f—ing vote me out in a heartbeat. Kelley – I don’t want to see you go. Keanu – no, its not smart for her to put me up, because then she’s next. Kelley – who would Vince put up? Ava, Ashley, Will? Keanu – Yeah. I wish Morgan left over Rylie. F—.
9:30pm – 10pm The houseguests eat dinner.
10:35pm Lounge Room – Vince and Morgan
Morgan – OK. So thoughts really quick. Obviously I think I should use the veto on myself. What do you think? Because I know last week I was feeling crazy and I thought about using it on you. You think I should use it? Vince – Yes. Morgan – OK. I just wanted to clear and make sure that we’re on the same page. Vince – Um, great. Great. A part of me, by the way, last week, a part of me started feeling like extremely guilty. And I was going to tell you, like, if you decided you’re like, I’m going to use it on you, I think. I don’t know. I couldn’t let that happen. I was like, I was like, starting to panic the night before. I was like, if she f—ing.. Morgan – no. Because I told you I read Keanu. I knew he was bluffing. Vince – You called it out? Morgan – Yeah, I knew he was bluffing. He did not want me to be safe. Vince – and he told Lauren that he was dangling her name just in case it got back to her. Morgan – see that to me is bulls—. When Keanu is really energized Keanu was not good at faking emotion like that. He is good at lying when it is composed. He was like DUDE, BRO!
Morgan – So like I technically have three wins counting the maze. Counting the maze because it’s two videos in that you have two HOHs blockbuster and a. So that’s 4. Lauren also has two HOHs, and a veto. So she has four. Those are good. So here’s the thing though. The three of us are. Kind of going up in the ladders of competitions. The only thing is, is Keanu biggest thing is he was on the block five times and only sat on the block one of those times. So he definitely needs to go. I need to know how Lauren feels because here’s the thing.. one thing for us with Rachel being in jury with the judges if she feels like we just dropped it.. that is a HUGE no, no for Rachel. Vince – no, she won’t like that. You don’t turn your back just because one person goes. Morgan – she is probably really pissed at you for picking Lauren. If you need it somehow, you need to somehow make up for it.
Where it’s like no matter what, you still protect the judges. So if you were HOH next week, right? It’s like that means you protect me. Let’s say they both stay. That means it would have to be Ava, Lauren and Kelley. Vince – If Keanu goes? Morgan – yeah. Vince – I don’t think Keanu goes. Morgan – we don’t know. Vince – But I’ll protect them at all costs, I promise I’m going to make sure that if I’m going to try at this point moving forward we want to win everything. Morgan – now the thing is one of your nominations would be Lauren. Vince – if Keanu goes. Morgan – yes, if Keanu goes. If he doesn’t, I know you would substitute out Lauren for Keanu.
11pm – 11:30pm Lounge – Vince and Lauren
Vince – The biggest thing is that you don’t have to say that you were gonna use it on her to say you knew that you wanted it to be used regardless and the veto picks were perfect and. We talked about how this was the last week, that there’s even a chance he does not play in veto and it worked out flawless. Lauren – do you think there’s a chance that she tells him that? I really don’t want it getting back to him. Vince – No, she wants him gone. Lauren – OK. Vince – she hates him. Lauren – I just don’t want it getting back to him. Vince – No it won’t. Lauren – Especially if he stays next week and everybody was like yeah she was planning on backdooring you. Vince – no, there is no way. Lauren – Ok! Vince – But get ready for his pushiness. I know because he is so. I’ll say assertive. He’s so like, you have to. If that becomes me, bro, you don’t understand. What are you thinking? You have to! All right, dude! Lauren – I am just going to .. That’s why I didn’t want to put him up initially.
Vince – But if he somehow I mean I’m assuming he’s gonna win Blockbuster because it’s gonna actually I have to make that assumption but what if it’s like a memory or something it and Will.. Lauren – I mean we never we could not even thought of the idea that Rachel would not finish that. Vince – exactly exactly. So anything you have no idea. If he goes the week after he nominated me, I want to say something like I’m so glad your public service announcement worked on. Not putting each other up when you think that you’re so close with everyone in the house. Let’s see how this pays off for you. Lauren laughs. Vince – that would be fantastic for your resume if he went. Lauren – I am scared if he comes down.
12am Bathroom – Morgan, Ashley, Ava and Lauren are reminiscing about past events in the house.
BB Comics — the complete history of the competition, every winner and the season-by-season cover galleries. Morgan’s win was the first ever played on a three-nominee block.
What I’m seeing on feeds. An overhead view.
Rachel allies became so invested in Rachel as their meal ticket that they failed in one of the major social strategies that good bb players are forced to do. They only built relationships with their own brethren and failed to make any relationships with those outside that circle.
The same can be said for the Anti Rachel side of the house.
What happened when someone did cross lines to build outside relationships? They were iiced out and ‘they are playing too hard’ was said about them.
Now that Rachel is gone? Whether permanently or as i suspect for a week…
The house is floundering on their own lack of self interest in building their own games that occurred for 8 weeks.
In a way… This is part of Rachel’s legacy to this season.
Why am i suspicious of the elimination being permanent?
30 hour feed block. The stuntcast is gone. Social media goes feeding frenzy and they haven’t even SEEN what happened in those 30 hours. They don’t know what the White Locust thing even DID.
Rachel was brought in as a twist in a season full of twists and may or may not have been taken out by a twist.
How this feels:
You are on your day off from work. You get a message from a coworker that the most popular employee was just fired. You immediately fire off angry emails, start a go fund me for the fired employee. The next day you find out the popular employee was caught embezzling from the retirement fund. Oops.
My advice:
Calm down. At least know WHAT actually happened before going off half cocked.
Even if it’s real and she’s gone… gee it’s not like she was on a 1000 dollar weekly stipend like everyone else. She had a contract. She got bank. And that elimination writes her ticket with the fanbase increasing her appearance fees, and making her more likely to be considered gold bankable for her NEXT reality project. She wins without winning. And every alum complaining knows this.
Meanwhile…
The show itself take heat and complaints.
Now consider THIS. Tinfoil but…
they cut feeds. they remove a stuntcast. they know everyone will go wild not knowing what happened… and it turns out to be a scheme. Rachel ends up returning and look at the spike that goes with that right as they are setting ad rates for the 2 hour episode and finale all the while all of the complainers think they really did something and it’s a result of their complaints cementing them watching those final episodes.
Does THIS sound Grodian? Is it possible? Until we KNOW otherwise. It’s Possible.
Oddity
The house is complaining about the season being challenge based, and the entire social aspect of the game has been eliminated. The feeds aren’t being cut. Sideye. NO realllly sideye. Know what happeend to people that complained too much about the hand feeding them in past seasons? You’ll never know because they’ll never be on another reality program.
Night post went sideways and I lost the night feeds so the 2 hours of Keanu and Vince talking. doesn’t look like anything major was missed. Sorry folks.
The punishment for this is to watch the USOpen Tennis Match from start to finish and eating a raspberry salad and Tuna melt while watching
If Memory serves, and I wasn’t totally awake:
Keanu told Vince he should go on the block for renom because Morgan would never vote Vince out, but she miiiight vote Keanu out.
Keanu told Vince Morgan and Lauren have to go next. They’ve won too many competitions. They are distracting Vince from being ride or die with Keanu.
Vince tried to dangle Ava in place of Morgan.
Keanu asked if Morgan realizes Vince has a girlfriend.
and that’s when i said too tired and slept.
Vince is trying to cover his bets with each of his final 2 deals.
Keanu is trying to get rid of anyone that Vince is close to so he has to be Keanu’s ride or die.
Thanks for that update!
Funny thing is my system was stable for that entire feed blockage so I have hours of those cats but last night craped its pants after 30 minutes.
I blame the grey cat. the rabbit was right. Grey cat is the real villain of the season.
Great — now we’re stuck with Vince putting his hands all over the M&Ms Girl another week.
Keanu is the likely renom and if he doesn’t win BB Blockbuster, he’s next out the door.
But if Vince was the renom, it would show Bambi growing some horns in the house.
Lauren is becoming a naive joke when it comes to greasy hair slimy Vinny. If she puts Keanu up as a renom instead of Vinnie and Keanu goes home, she will be put up and she’ll go home next. They wanted her put up and gone last week. Vinnie will never choose her over Morgan. They wanted the showmance out and they got them out but, they forgot about the showmance of Vinnie and Morgan. lol
putting vince up doesn’t do a whole lot for lauren’s game (to be fair putting keanu up doesn’t either). i think her best option is probably ava, but ideally regardless of the renom she wants to send out ashley (or will if ashley wins blockbuster). i think ava is a fairly safe pawn and if ava goes, it’s less detrimental to lauren’s game than losing keanu or vince.
Ava wont go. It makes the most sence. But lauren is too close to her.
I also think it’s foolish to go for Keanu at this time. I dont see how it’s better for her game than a lot of other options.
It’s unfortunate that Lauren doesn’t have a good enough read on what’s going on in the house to know where she stands with everybody. If she did, she wouldn’t even be considering Keanu, at least not now.
Vince has her totally snowed, which is really hard to believe after everything that’s happened after she followed his advice, expected what he told her to happen to happen, and none of it did. In fact the exact opposite happened each time. You would think she would learn from experience, but I guess not.
If it ends up being Ashley vs. Keanu, Keanu is going to jury. He’s obviously going to jury vs. Will. Her best move (one which she’s never going to make) is to put up Vince and let the chips fall where they may.
Put up Vinny the lip as replacement
That would be great! Then Ashley wii go out with Rachel.
but this is Lauren were talking about, she couldnt see the strategy of not using the veto on Vince when he had the votes to stay. She was obsessed with saving him from the block and Rylie went home. You really think she’s going to put him on the block?
He also saved her from the maze
She saved herself from the maze by completing it in plenty of time. Although we haven’t seen it yet, I’ve read she ran it faster than anybody, which is why she is HOH. Don’t know for sure if that’s correct, but we’ll find out Tuesday night.
Never. She still thinks the fake final2 he made with her on day 2 is real.
That’s her best move, but you’re right – she’ll never make it.
After the last two times, I just have to say that I wish the Blockbuster was played after the Veto meeting. As someone said, since they are played during live evictions they are designed to be puzzles/games that can be accomplished in about 5 minutes. The comp b/t Kelley, Ava, and Katherine was so stupid & anti-climatic. “Design the course to make your ball fall in the hole. We have conveniently labeled where the pieces need to go, choice one or choice two, it’s not that hard, get it done so we can get to kicking one of you out the door.” To me it’s like they don’t really have to earn it, they just have to be the quickest at it. They could do so much more and make a much better eviction episode if they had footage of a well played/strategized comp. Perhaps the drama would then be the winner could not be revealed to the participants until just before the vote or there could still be plenty of drama with only two clear nominees. Eh, maybe next year, but doubtful.
If they want to make BB all about competitions now, they really need to come up with better comps.
Keanu has great odds to win BB aganst Ash and Will. Unless it’s the rope comp. Wasn’t that a BB comp one time?
I don’t believe production wants or would benefit with Keanu leaving. If he leaves then Vince, Morgan, Ashley and Will, Will just run the table because not only do they have the numbers but Lauren can’t play for HOH next week.If they don’t orchestrate something Keanu is more than likely to win then basically it’s a duck shoot the rest of the way and the season as well as the drama is over….Thank God for football season
Amen to that! Go, Buckeyes(one of my two alma maters)!!!
Very true, production can’t lose him yet, especially after the shock of Rachel leaving. A lot of casuals don’t care for her, she’s more of a loss for a chunk of feeders. But then Keanu gone next would really neuter the game.
Although I’m not convinced Vinny is going along with Morgan’s plan to essentially keep playing Rachel’s game through jury phase. I don’t see him putting up Lauren instead of Will or Ashley. He’ll be at a crossroads once again but I think he will end up disappointing Morgan, as he did by choosing Lauren over her for maze.
He does need to consider that Lauren can win comps, but also that Lauren is not putting him OTB yet. He can’t trust Ashley and he knows it, even just as a vote to evict if Ava or Kelley were to put him up.
Vince is gonna VInce is gonna Vince to the end, lol.
If she puts Keanu up and he leaves, which he will if he loses the blockbuster, I have no doubt the next two to go will be Lauren and Kelley. I’m just not sure what order they will go in, although they may very well go together, on a double eviction.
Why would Ashley beat him if it;s the rope comp? Have you seen any of his videos on IG? He trains with ropes. Unless I’m clueless and this is a new rope comp.
It’s a tight area for him to navigate his big body, no matter how good he is at handling the rope.
So if the BB is the rope comp, he’s going to lose and be put on the block by “Lauren” and voted out?? Hopefully production sees that the best thing is to keep Keanu in the house, bring Rachel back and SHE can show Ava and Lauren the door. lol
That’s possible. Un autre nom said he thinks it might just be a production stunt to boost ratings by bringing her back in a jury battle back just b4 the finale. We’ll see if un autre nom’s right yet again.
It WAS the rope comp. He made it look easy.
The tight area didn’t seem to phase him. At this point, he is the clear favorite to win it all & begin his self-proclaimed journey to BB immortality as the 1st two-time champ. If he doesn’t win, it will be because Grod threw him a curveball. He’s proven himself to be a great fastball hitter. But, can he hit the curve? If Grod makes him win a comp of pure chance, we’ll all find out.
It was the rope comp. And he STILL won it. At this point, he will win out unless Grod decides to end his self-proclaimed journey as the first ever 2-time winner by throwing him a curveball. The only way he loses is if she makes him win a comp of pure chance. Then & only then might he be evicted.
The house will get even more boring than it has already been this season if Keanu leaves. If Lauren has learned ANYTHING, I hope it is that she has to keep the cheaters apart from each other and now is the time to take the shot. She let her first HOH go to waste, make this one count girl! Grow the courage Vinny NEVER will!
She sent home Will & then proclaimed this HOH of hers a success. NOT.
oof. i hope keanu doesn’t become the replacement nom. vince and ava are both better options for lauren.
Is anyone really surprised that Keanu will most assuredly be the renom?! Even he knows it.
Lauren will NOT put up Vince. Vince is her number 1 no matter how much Ava may protest( rightly so) about Vince’s manipulation. All Lauren told Ava in response was, she ” keeps him close” for a reason- and there it is! A few others here have also observed that Lauren’s reads of the HG are on point. Lauren knows she can win against Vince. Lauren also knows Keanu is her only real comp challenger.
As I mentioned previously, Lauren is not to be underestimated. She’s act-ting. Lauren is well liked, perceived as timid among her castmates and that’s just how she wants to play it. She’s never been on the block, never been nominated and she’s aware she would win against anyone remaining with the slight exception of Keanu. ( recall her recent convo with Ava and Vinnie about Keanu) wondering if Vince or Kelley ( who doesn’t really like him either) could get him out because ” she’s scared.” The remaining HG should be scared of her! Now watch Morgan and Ashley now go into their smooze mode with Lauren.
F2,I still believe Lauren and Vince. Vince is loyal to no one but he’s played middle of the road fairly well and is smart enough to keep his faux MJ, I mean Lauren, close. Looks like Morgan quickly forgot he chose Lauren over her in the Reindeer Game chain challenge twist.
Not only did the Lip choose Lauren over Morgan. So did Zach. She said in her pre-season interviews that she really wanted to be in a showmance. Guess she’s desperate to make her wish come true.
yeah, keanu has to go for lauren to win. it’s a bit early, but if not now when will lauren have the opportunity again? i think overall breaking up will and ashley is probably a bigger priority and it’s tricky to say what renom makes that most likely to happen. i don’t think lauren has very good options, especially when you factor in that her best chance of winning is going to the final 3 with kelley and vinny so putting either up isn’t all that great a move, but if she can get morgan, vinny, and kelley to vote with her the keanu nomination doesn’t matter as they can still target will/ashley.
I dont think she wins against him .
It would look as he used her to get to the end and that she was manipulated. Beside ava and maybe kelly i dont see the jury respect her game.
lauren’s social game is poor and it’s going to be difficult for her to win jury votes as a result, but i do think her best chance is vs either vince or kelley. so she should aim for being in final 3 with that trio.
I think Vince destroys her in F2. He can sit there and say he totally ran both of her HOH’s and even got her to use the veto on him when he didn’t really need to be saved. When Julie asks her to respond to that, she’ll probably say “I need to think about that.” or “I’m just not sure.”
the advantage of taking Vince to the final basically comes down to that he and Rachel did not get along and possibly Rachel sways the whole jury against him. I agree it’s not a slam dunk, but Lauren’s resume isn’t as good as Keanu’s and everyone else (save Kelley) is better liked by the whoever ultimately ends up comprising the jury than Lauren. Kelley is Lauren’s best option but she doesn’t have many good ones and Vinny’s probably second best
Kelley is not Lauren’s best option. Ashley is.
I believe she would be better off sitting next to Ashley.
I have a question.
It;s been eating me since last night.
Keanu said when Rachel came out of the comp she had an earbud in, and looked angry.
Earbud? So she was in communication with production?
The question… is there any NON TINFOIL REASON for an earbud in a comp?
Thanks.
Not that I can think of. But, why was she angry after the competition? Her shock at the landslide vote against her indicates her confidence that she was staying despite the comp loss. My Tinfoil hunch is that production told her to throw the comp(in her ear bud, during the comp). They may have decided that they would get their full-season’s money’s worth out of her from the jury house. If production told me that during a comp, that would piss me off too, even if I was a corporate stooge contract player.
I don’t think there was a vote. The transcript on that may have been a feed flip after a discussion on Rachel, then the convo changed to the Mickey eviction landslide and Mickey’s shock and daggers at Morgan as she walks around the couch. That makes the most sense vs the Rachel scenario.
Elimination is not eviction, and if they were to do a maze Canada style, everyone would have a turn to be the bottom 2 noms.
I don’t think there was a vote either. I think she was eliminated due to her inability to complete the maze in the time she had allotted to do so. That means no vote and no eviction. More like an immediate ejection.
I tend to agree with Another Name though, that she’s likely coming back due to some production “gotcha” twist.
Thank you also for helping juliesfashionfails clear up my confusion!
Now that she’s been interviewed on live national tv by JCM, it appears to be the end of the road for Rachel’s 3rd & probably final BB season.
Although, Janelle’s already been on 4 BB seasons & she’s never even won, so I guess there’s a slight chance of a 4th season for Rachel, but I highly doubt it.
On the bright side, at least I got to see one of my screen name faves host the Reindeer Games hamster-wheel-of-death comp. Bittersweet, but more sweet than bitter, for Tyler to be the one to give Rachel her goodbye hug.
Thank you for clearing that up for me!
Thank you for clearing up my confusion. You were right. No vote. No begging for votes. No veto. No Blockbuster. Just the Reindeer Games hamster-wheel-of-death. And just like that, she’s gone.
Here is a quote from Brendon “As soon as I got a call from production, I knew. When this twist was announced there was speculation about how it worked. Once I learned there was a dependency on being selected ultimately determining likelihood of success, I knew Rachel would be at a disadvantage. I am quite sure that Rachel was under the same impression I was about the game, that we would get a regular Big Brother season without any twists at the jury phase,” he wrote.
This is not aimed at you, this is a general response to the Brendon message.
what do i care what a spouse of a reality show celebutard has to say? People keep posting what he has to say like it’s a new gospel.
Doesn’t he also go on to shill about getting her on survivor next?
One of their co-ventures was casting and project development wasn’t it?
How nice that production gave him a heads up about this twist so that he could be prepared for the press and fanbase. If it had been Will would Chocolate Drop have been given the same call five days before the episode airs? And he’s riding that pr wave for his wife’s career isn’t he.
Given it is a reality entertainment program not a gameshow and he has been part of the overall reality entertainment programming game himself… grain of salt is required for me regarding spouse posts of a career reality entertainment personality.
That’s fair. MY Tinfoil hat tells me that the twist was production’s way of getting Rachel out of the house. Maybe that’s why they called Brendon. It’s possible that there was never a chance for Will or anyone other than Rachel to be eliminated.
Turns out anyone could have been eliminated. It was pure chance.
She might have survived if she hadn’t grabbed Ava by the arm & pulled her into the storage room to ask Ava to pick Rachel to go first. Six and a half minutes might have been enough time for Rachel to finally be able to figure out the wheel & survive it. But, as bad as she did, probably not.
Turns out that her best chance would have been to act opposite of her nature and, for once, avoid the spotlight and NOT ask Morgan to pick her.
Since no one ever put Rachel OTB, she would have had a better chance by asking to not be picked.
She told Julie she got into her own head & panicked. Turns out 3 seasons was not enough to make her panic-proof.
Does production call family of ALL house guest to let them know their family was eliminated or voted out? Seems kinda fishy to me.
Me too. Something smells fishy about the weird way that production “eliminated” Rachel.
Thank you for that very helpful Brendon quote. No wonder she was mad at production. Didn’t even get to save herself with a chance at veto & Blockbuster like everyone else. Tough way to go. Hope she gets a jury battle back to have a chance to get back in the house. Even though it would only be one chance & not the two chances all the other nominees got, it would be like she was backdoored & only had Blockbuster to save herself. That would still be more fair than no chance at all. I hope un autre nom’s hunch is right.
It makes me sick that Bambie, M&M and Weaselinny are going to the end
Wrap it up the season ended yesterday
I disagree on both points.
First, it’s not etched in stone that those will be the final3. Based on comp wins alone, it could very well be Keanu, Kelley & Lauren. Or, perhaps either Ava or Will(or both)could make final3.
Second, the season didn’t end yesterday. There’s still 3 weeks left. Don’t forget JCM’s mantra(not Love One Another—the other one): Expect the Unexpected! Someone from the jury might be given a chance to get back into the house. Maybe even your girl for AFP. Don’t give up yet. Anything is still possible. As Yogi Berra once said: “It’s not over til it’s over!”
If you’re gonna quote the great Yogi Berra, get it right. He said “It ain’t over till it’s over!” 😉
That seems a little nitpicky. I got the quote right. Are you really bitching at me because I used “It’s not” instead of “it ain’t”? If you feel the need to put me down over that difference, it seems like you’re just going out of your way to put me down. Mighty picky, even ticky-tacky, on your part, Beef. But, if you insist, let me correct my egregious error: As Yogi Berra once said: “It ain’t over til it’s over!”
Better, now?
To quote Steve Martin: “Well, EX-CUUUUUUUSE ME!!!”
I say spice up the season, take off ashley and put Ava up, yes I like Ava, just want to see which they would choose. I mean Will has done absolutely nothing. Yes, i know, let the down votes begin lol
I’m playing catch up the past day trying to piece together what went down, I was worried about all the prodo speculation but reading on here that there was an actual vote to evict, I trust Rachel is actually gone to jury. I guess I’ll just wait for Tuesday to see how it went down. Based on Keanu’s comment above, is this elimination game now an ongoing part of the game?
Going back to when the feeds returned, I caught the backyard convo among Will Ashley and Ava discussing how the game works now you can’t have a target but rather people you want to save from the block. This fundamentally changes how houseguests play the new BB from here on out. R.I.P. any real strategy, I guess I’ll have to let that go. So now winning HOH is more about just safety going forward, while this week Lauren saves 3 people from the block, each week that leaves the HOH’s ability weaker to then nonexistent. When you are basically nominating everyone, nominations become meaningless. With everything now being about winning competitions, Keanu will be everyone’s biggest target, as soon as he loses, he is gone.
On a personal note, with Mickey and Rachel gone, I am going to wipe the past 2 months from my memory and consider this day one in the game. Now they all have a chance to disappoint me anew.
Un autre nom said that there was no vote.
Please please please keep Keanu!!! We lost Tucker too early last season we can’t lose another one early again!!! Keanu is the only one playing bold and not safe! Only reason I watch is for Keanu!!!!
Vinnie “the lip” is the exact reason why I quit watching reality tv a year ago. This dude is GRIMEY. I’m done with these shows after the next BB Amazing Race season.
with morgan taking herself down, i feel lauren’s target should be ashley. if ashley wins blockbuster, lauren should probably take out will. so her nomination kinda revolves around picking someone who doesn’t go home. ava’s a risk cuz it probably gives ashley the best shot in blockbuster and vince and keanu are risks cuz if they win blockbuster they may come after lauren. i don’t think lauren has great options.
overall everyone in the house should probably be working to split up the duos that are way too close, namely will/ashley and morgan/vince. i think ashley and morgan are way bigger threats than will and vince so ashley and morgan should be the next to go for most people’s game (but if you can’t get the primary target be willing to settle for their buddy). then you do have to worry about when do you get rid of keanu and if vince’s consistent backstabbing is too problematic to allow to stay in the game. kelley, ava, will, and lauren are all pretty safe bets to take to the end as either their social game or competition performance is so unimpressive that you may be able to beat them in the finale so i don’t see much reason to target any of them unless you’d rather take your chances going to the end with vince and hope he’s so hated he gets no votes. but that’s a general overview of where i think the houseguests should be looking these next eliminations.
Who cooking dinner. Not MICKEY OR RACHEL
I really want Keanu to stay this week, so he doesn’t have to spend an entire week in the jury house with just Rachel. If that’s the case, I hope production has several people in the house with them, so that Rachel won’t accuse Keanu of doing anything inappropriate. I don’t mean abusive, just inappropriate. Like when Rachel told Keanu not to speak to Ashley like that after her well-rehearsed performance when he put her on the block at the veto ceremony or accused him of raising his voice to her (Rachel) when he clearly wasn’t. Men, especially those who are large, are easily accused of inappropriate behavior by women like Rachel, especially since she has lost her bid to become a two-time winner of Big Brother and needs to take it out on someone. Keanu has been remarkable in his composure around both Rachel and Ashley. Remember Rachel’s words, “I won’t be in the jury. I’ll be one of the final two. Don’t come for the queen…” I don’t believe they were said to Keanu, but that doesn’t mean she won’t try to “sting” him.
I’m sure there are cameras but they’re not on feeds. Wish they were!
Rachel would probably find a way to cover the cameras, so there would be no evidence of her false claims, if she made any.
The jurors are never alone in the jury house. There are employees there 24/7.
Now Vinny and Morgan will be all over each other like stink on poop.
that’s why it would be a perfect opportunity for Lauren to try and separate them. just like they did with Kiely. Plus the Vinn weasel has a girlfriend at home, show some darn respect. you know there are cameras EVERYWHERE my dude
Rachel did not go to jury, she is not out of the game. Get real. There is no way that their cash cow this season would be eliminated without a vote or the chance to win veto. ZERO CHANCE! She will be back from whatever twist this is this week.
I hope you are wrong because I can’t stand the fact that she thinks she is the hot shiz on earth. And the looks she gives, I’m so over her. I didn’t know who she was when she walked in, and 5 mins into seeing her interact, I knew, I didn’t like her. She’s way too into herself.
I would love for her to come back, only because I want to see her win HOH, put Ava up and send her back to NY. You don’t have to like someone, but to be downright mean and call them names, is childish. I think Vinnie, Morgan and Lauren need to realize which one would Keanu give his vote too at the end>..
I also would like to see her back in the house b4 finale night. I don’t care if she wins again. Once was enough. I don’t care if she wins any $. She doesn’t need it. My pipedream since she walked in the door this season was just that she make it to the finale and finish in third place as the final juror. In my opinion, if she came in 3rd, that would be a tremendous accomplishment for a 40 year old has been, 15 years removed from her “Glory Days”,(apologies to The Boss!),with a massive target on her back from the moment she walked in.
I based my knowledge of Rachel going to jury on Simon and Dawg’s first bullet under “SPOILERS:” at the beginning of this thread, “-Rachel went to jury in some twist”. I will “Get real” when Simon and Dawg tell me something different. In a way, Rachel was eliminated with several votes when those who finished the challenge did not choose her to go next. The houseguests put her in jeopardy with their selections. In Big Brother, “expect the unexpected,” which means perhaps whoever was eliminated was never guaranteed a chance to return.
Hope you’re right. That was a very anticlimactic departure.
Ava needs to be on the block.
Imagine the jury house if they send Kelsey or even Morgan out. Talk about mean girls! Those ladies will be livid & I don’t blame them. Then, oh I hope to God, Ava is the next out & Rachel has heard all the crap Ava has been spouting. Or maybe Kelly, yep, I’d pay to watch live feeds there.
Basic thought.
Remember those seasons (cough cough 25) where most of the comp capable people were ousted by final 8 and we just had one or two people that were getting the cakewalk (and even then they did individual time comps for no reason over and over).
What did the fans say? Boring.
Careful what you complain about.
With Bb trying to please the only competitions matter crowd making it more the Challenge than Big Brother… what does production get?
They get an extra opportunity to steer the season.
I doubt the veracity of the AI Arena / Blockbuster. no secret.
So you can’t strategize HOW to get to the end in big brother anymore?
You have to win HOH not to eliminate a target… but have safety for the week?
As HOH you have to nominate almost half the house by the time you hit top 10?
Oh.
That’s stupid.
Let’s play final 4 at final 10. Over. and Over. and Over.
An HOH puts up three targets? Two stay. HOH can’t play for HOH. So the incentive is put up the weaker every time, because their statistical chance of winning next HOH is lower so the threat is less severe.
An HOH puts up two comp targets? Statistically one wins veto, the other wins Blockbuster so what’s the point? Again, the less comp capable is going home.
Under the new system, we’ve done away with alliancing, strategic thinkers, social gamers.
All that’s left is….. yeah but he can bench press.
And why?
Because physicality is all that is considered exciting to the powers that be?
Gee. Wonderful.
So why do they keep doing Blockbusters that look like obvious tomfoolery shenanigans.
New format big brother built on trying to make the show more competition based, less strategy based kills big brother.
IF houseguests on a season are saying roughly the same thing….
the season and the new format sucks.
Btw. If they are aiming at the show being all about comp win and nothing to do with strategizing or social game… guess what they don’t need anymore.
Live Feeds.
If all that matters is who won the comps, they can just throw some slice of life shit or a digital daily at everyone.
Be prepared.
It wouldn’t be a big loss after this season’s live feeds. Watching them has tied my stomach in knots too many times to count. They feel more like torture than entertainment.
Once again, thank you for that most perceptive post. Your last sentence says it all.
Issue with this season was Rachel was too powerful a personality to have by herself with rookies. Both killed the season and her own game. If you took a shot every time she reminded everyone of her experience you would be in trouble.
Fortunately, since my wife & I are teetotalers, my shots would be A&W zero sugar & hers would be dr.pepper zero sugar(our respective drinks of choice). No harm, no foul.
