9:35pm The live feeds finally turn on for the season!
Spoilers: Sounds like Ashley won the veto and Vince is planning to put up Kelley (She offered to go up to hide Vince and her working together).
Bedroom – Jimmy and Rachel are talking in the bedroom.
Rachel is pushing to see if they can get Keanu on the block as the replacement. Jimmy – I think it’s an easier thing for his game. But like, I do worry if Keanu is up in the block, he might put us up. That’s something I might keep you an eye on. Rachel – You know what? I’d like for somebody to maybe try to pick his brain. That’s not me. To see where his head’s at something, some of them in our alliance to do that. So I’m not the one always doing it. Who does he like? Who’s he? That’s the thing. Jimmy – I really do think he (Vince) is waiting till week two to start playing the game. But really why would you wait till week two to start playing the game ..but in the next breath be like I’d want a final two with you. Like I think it’s too early for final twos, you know what I mean? So I don’t know. I just want to like check in with you on that because that’s not weird for me to be thinking that?
Backyard by the hot tub – Amy, Morgan, Ava, Katherine, Rylie, Rachel, Adrian, Zach, Lauren, Kelley. They’re all going around in a circle talking about what they currently do for work and what they would love to do if they could do something else.
9:48pm Vince and Keanu – Pool Table.
Vince – I don’t think I am going to do Jimmy tomorrow. (as the replacement nom). See out of 17, there’s only thirteen. The issue is I’ve had to nominate four out of thirteen. And if I nominate the wrong person, and they stay. Then I piss off like 4 or 5 more on top of that. Keanu – You think so? Vince – I’ll try to get a read but.. Jimmy walks over and the conversation ends.
10:07pm Backyard – Hot Tub Jimmy and Keanu are needing out talking about Dungeon and Dragons. Keanu – You could have a much more in depth. Like, I could create like, a quest, but that was a great demonstration. Jimmy – Yeah. I love this shit. Like, I’m a nerd that way. Keanu talks about his character being a Paladin. He was a successor to be king. His name is Cretus. I’m a harsh but fair DM (Dungeon Master). I’m not in it to like kill my players. That doesn’t do me any good. I’m in it to tell a good story with you guys. But if you want to do stupid shit, you know, like if I like, if I make it very clear, like this dragon that you guys are about to fight, like you should probably go do a couple other quests, maybe do something else before you face it, ’cause you’re not strong enough. Like, I won’t say it in those words, but I’ll say it in a very roundabout way. You better fucking do it. Or if you try to face a dragon, like a character will die. And it has happened like like that boss fight that we weren’t ready for.
10:24pm Kitchen – Vince and Ashley
Ashley – How are you feeling? How are you feeling? Vince – Anxious about it all, you know.
Going back and forth? No. Thinking about it. Just here, ’cause it’s like I don’t want to give myself time to think about it. So I think I want to go to sleep early. Just hope that it’s
early in the morning and then kind of. Somewhat kind of floating the idea in just a little preparation. I just in case she’s (Kelley).. you know.. just she’s a little emotional or anything. I don’t want to cause any.. Ashley – No. Vince – I don’t want to do that anymore. I’m not doing that clearly. I’m not. I’m not. I can’t handle that. You’re going to have your moment. Ashley – my moment .. ready to go. (I think Ashley won the VETO)
10:30pm Backyard – Vince and Kelley
Vince – I really, really want to put Adrian up because he’s good at comps. ..and then I know he’s guaranteed safe. Kelley – It would be surprising too. Like you’re floating my name and then all of a sudden, Adrian. But Adrian would be mad. Vince – Adrian would be mad, yes, correct. Kelley – Why not Jimmy? Vince – I just don’t think we have the vote. Kelley – Really, really risky move. Vince – I’ve already upset three people if I upset power person like Jimmy, who has a lot of. Kelley – Yeah, true. But by default you upset Rachel. Keanu joins them. Vince – for my game right now, Jimmy doesn’t make sense. Kelley – I know I get it bro. Like at the end of what? But now would be the time. Jimmy is good for all three of our games. Keanu – the time to make a move on him is right now. I feel like we have numbers on our side. We have Rachel. Kelley – are you sure? Keanu – we have Ashley. Kelley – are you sure..
10:45pm Vince, Kelley and Keanu continued…
Keanu – we have solidified numbers to get him (Jimmy) out. You understand what I’m saying? Vince – I would need those numbers before I know me. I would need that certified. Keanu – For nominations, I’ve already came to you and straight up said, like, you guys want to work together, whatever. We have: You, rye me, Kelly, Adrian, Ava and Katherine is pretty close to me. Kelley – everything is okay.. I am going to be okay if you put me up. I think I can get Jimmy on myside. If I could talk to him tonight. I would have to be a fake a$$ bit*h. I don’t know if I can be a fake a$$ b*tch. I’m not offering myself because, Jesus Christ, that’s a terrible idea. Just making that clear. This is your decision, not mine, you know.
Isaiah and Ashley
Isaiah – I don’t really feel like I am going home regardless of what happens this week. Its really hard because the people that were working with even though we trust them, were close with them at some point or another. If we want to win that they they have to go home. And so it’s sort of a really hard game of like you know, knowing who to trust, but like in going far with those people, but also like having good relationship to everybody. It’s week to week. Ashely – Right. Isaiah – now it’s anybody’s game, which is super nice, like to win the veto because like now you’re safe and you know you’re good this week and then like, you know, let’s go and win the head of household next week. Let’s say Mickey, let’s say Amy stays and she wins that household next week. You know the whole game shifts. Ashley tells Isaiah that she thinks he 100% safe no matter what. Isaiah – I think right now, like voting against me if I was on the block against Amy. I know Rachel is close with Amy. Feeds switch away and then back. Isaiah – I am going to gun for it next week if I am still here. I am a competitor. I haven’t gotten a chance to prove myself yet.
HOH Vince
Noms Zae Ashley Amy
Immunity: Rachel, Will, Zach, Ava.
Veto Winner: Ashley
Renom: ?
Names going around: Keanu asked about Jimmy renom. Rachel wants Keanu renom but isnt’ sure there is the support or if Vince has the will.
It never ceases to amaze me how the new players don’t know how to play the game! Keanu wants Vince to nominate Jimmy, tells him they have the votes, and then proceeds to list off 7 people, which includes the HOH, who of course cannot vote unless it’s a tie, as votes to get rid of Jimmy.
If Keanu if right, that means there are 6 votes to oust Jimmy, and 8 votes to oust whoever he’s sitting next too (either Amy or Zae).
Of course, one of the three is coming off the block in the “Blockbuster” competition, which takes place immediately before the vote, just like the AI competition did last season.
Vince is trying to avoid leaving 3 people in the house who are mad at him for nominating them for eviction, and Kelley is now backtracking on her offer to go up as a pawn, which was a dumb idea in the first place, but would be even dumber now that the veto comp is over.
Maybe Vince and Jimmy are learning why it’s not a good idea to be HOH the very first week in the house. Both had easy outs and both elected to go for it, while the more knowledgeable players politely declined the opportunity.
What seems to be happening in my view? Vince is very much a follower not a leader. Even with consensus to make a move, he will waffle. It’s almost like for storyline purpose it is best that vince look booboodafool and renom his own number one ally.
Jimmy? don’t care. wind him up and let him spin. Same for Keanu.
The ONLY thing that annoys is when each says they can just make other people vote how they want. Neither has the social capital to get their way let alone control others.
Kelley? now doesn’t want to volunteer as tribute after what seems like days of walking around with her hand up while also pissing people off. meh.
The guys are doing what the bbbro factory does… lining the women up at the door to make way for the men. IT IS what they were saying as a group.
I still think Ashley is probably too much.
I still think Ava is potstirring and then denying owning a pot.
I still think Will, Lauren and Adrian are kept in cupboards for most of the day and just brought out for nodding purposes in group conversations.
Rachel has broken the fourth wall with eyeroll face. I don’t like it. Play the game don’t play the feeds.
Tentative:
Working group A: Zach, Morgan, Jimmy, Mickey
Working group B: Ashley, Amy, Rachel.
Group A and Group B seem to have some sort of tie to one another.
Working group C: Vinnie, Kelley.
Working group D: add Keanu to C. Keanu alluded to the brolliance being a cover for his real interest…. the nerdkingdom. At least while they are HOH.
Possible ties: Jimmy and Vinnie via the HOH deal but it may not be valid past smoke.
Kelley keeps volunteering.
Keanu is not being definitive that he would keep Zae now that Keanu knows Kelley is volunteering. Zae noticed and told Morgan.
Zach and 2 others have told Jimmy that Keanu is pushing Jimmeviction hard.
Kelley is campaigning for votes already.
SOMETHING FEELS VERY FOUTTE. BUT. We’ve seen last minute sanity take the fun out of a “who flipped” moment before.
Just because Kelley is volunteering doesn’t mean Vinnie does it.
They are discussing the dangers of putting your final 2 on the block.
Kelley says she has created a seven person alliance…. i don’t think that alliance exists when one of the members wouldn’t even guarantee to keep Kelley. Sideye.
Rachel tells Keanu that Zae and Kelley can both go. Zae is after her, and she doesn’t like Kelley. Keep in mind, Rachel was trying to test the waters on a Keanu renom when feeds began. Keanu reveals the Jimmy plan to Rachel, but says Vince wouldn’t bite. Keanu tries to assure Rachel he can keep Rachel and Amy safe from Kelley. That SHOULD be a red flag to Rachel. I honestly believe Keanu believes he has the social capitol to get Rachel to dump Amy for Kelley. Looks left, looks right… suuuuure. Keanu is trying to manipulate Rachel. She’s so valuable to his game. He’s told her he would keep Kelley not Amy…. not sure if he said he’d keep Kelley over Zae.
Zae thinks the Blockbuster comp is his to win. He also thought Veto was his to win. How many 2 women vs a man comps were strength based arena last season? Arguably the puzzle with the heavy pieces the women couldn’t lift comp… but it was Lisa and Angela.
ZAch encapsulated why the arena is a strategy killer. Of course you are going to tell someone on the block you’d keep them… they could win the arena. This means that since nobody knows who final noms will be there are no definitive strategic moves made between veto ceremony and vote. There are only scenarios.
HEAVY HITTERS:
Vince, Jimmy, Morgan, Rachel, Riley, Zach and maybe one other.
(working group A with that weird possible Vince tie and that weird possble working group B tie)…. Riley is the curveball because he has little interest in contribution, just wants to be given orders and already seems to have told Lauren about it.
Girlliance possibly called Girls Girls: Working group B
they like Mickey, but find her too tied to Jimmy. Ashley and Amy do NOT trust Morgan AT ALL.
Reason Zae is the threat according to some: he taught a number of houseguests how to play chess very quickly this week. He is strong and apparently strongwilled in regard to the opinions of others. Veto was down to Ashley and Zae. Amy performed poorly.
Reason Kelley is a possibility: she annoyed people pre feeds. Watched feeds for an hour… and yeah… she’s a memface but annoying.
Rachel, Zach and Morgan have each voiced dislike for Keanu. Jimmy too.
Ashley and Amy think Jimmy is a paper king with Morgan as power behind the invisible throne.
If there is game talk, Ava will walk into the room. She’s THAT one.
Jimmy’s sarcastic one liners are harsh… but he hasn’t technically lied in his harshness. It’s one of those yeeesh but true reactions i keep finding myself doing. Given my own sarcastic dead pan thought process… yeesh is the only surprise.
I like everyone so far. All of them apart from a few (possibly Zae, Zach and Ava) are not recruits.
I’m extremely happy Ashley won Veto. She’s my top girl (well Rachel is so Ashley is my top new girl).
I just finished the episode and was worried the ‘Showergate’ would take her out but now it seems anything can happen.
I want Zae to win that blockbuster competition so at worst Amy goes home but depending on who Vince nominates it could be them. Nominating Kelley would be beyond stupid but if she goes home because she Pooched herself then apparently she wanted to travel instead of be locked inside the BB house…
If Zae is on the block come eviction night though he is going home for sure imo. And as much as I would want him to stay, that is the best move for people.
I’m going to have to pray he pulls a Tucker.
