In tonight’s Big Brother episode, Mickey used her secret power to take over as HOH. She was now free to nominate anyone for eviction. Keanu was a given at this point. The same for Kelley because Kelley was too good at winning competitions. Only there weren’t a lot of people that knew Kelley put herself in that position.
She volunteered at least twice to go up as a pawn. She thought it was trading favors and the truth is she’s never going to be able to collect on any of those returns. Lauren doesn’t think she owes her anything. This includes Vinny as well. Vinny has already betrayed Kelley once for Lauren and it’s clear he’ll do it again if his real allies are in trouble.
Vinny made a deal with Kelley on day one to be each other’s final two. Unfortunately, he made that same deal with several other people and it was going to cost him. His current deal with Zach was holding up better than anything else.
They just weren’t working together on everything. Vinny tried to warn Rylie that Mickey had the secret power. Zach misled Rylie hoping Mickey had the power. Zach felt secure with Mickey. He thought because he was working with Morgan that Mickey was given and that it was Rylie who was the wild card.
Rylie didn’t know who to nominate on the previous episode. He never got a chance to talk to anyone. He also never told anyone who the target was. It was others that started talking. They were the ones that spread rumors that Mickey was a target and that’s why she used her secret power.
If she had merely talked to Rylie one on one, they could have defused this. Rylie wasn’t interested in rocking the boat. He didn’t have beef with anyone until Mickey stole his HOH. He never got the chance to get letters from home and that hurt. He was very angry at the start of the night.
Rylie did eventually speak to Mickey by themselves. He told her he was angry. He said put him up for eviction because now they were enemies. They could have worked together before and that’s no longer on the table. Rylie has been getting closer to Katherine. The two were developing a bit of a showmance.
He was going to be livid if Mickey went through with her plan of nominating Katherine. Mickey spoke game play with her allies. She was torn between nominating Katherine or Rylie as her third nominee. The other two were going to be Keanu and Kelley until Mickey spoke to Kelley.
Kelley wanted a break from the block. She’s been on it for three straight weeks. It’s also her birthday that week and so she made a deal with Mickey. She doesn’t get nominated, but in return she’ll try to win Veto if she got chosen. She was willing to keep Mickey’s nominations the same. It couldn’t be said of anyone else.
Keanu has been known to win them. Mickey needed Kelley to possibly beat him. Mickey’s target swiftly became Keanu. Keanu was the only one throwing her name around. She wanted to nominate people she knew could beat him.
Mickey later nominated Keanu, Kelley, and Rylie. She said out loud that her target was Keanu. She ended up choosing Rylie and Kelley because she had to.
She couldn’t stick to her deal with Kelley. Kelley and Rylie are beasts at competitions and she need that before Keanu wins Veto again. Keanu winning would put her at risk. She knows that. Keanu knows that. Jimmy even knows it and that’s why he later proposed a faux alliance with both Keanu and Kelley. He didn’t want to be their target if they won Veto this week.
Those two needed allies. Keanu was a bit on an island by himself and Jimmy took credit for that. He knew he was directly responsible for it. It was only when he nominated Keanu that Keanu made his comments about picking off everyone. Nevermind that that’s the game.
The others all got super offended that he said the quiet part out loud and they want him gone. Mickey got lucky with the Veto comp. Rachel and Morgan were playing with her against Keanu, Kelley, and Rylie. And it was Kelley that chose Rachel.
Kelly doesn’t actually believe that Rachel would use Veto to save her. She picked her knowing that Rachel wouldn’t save Keanu either and Kelley could beat Keanu at a house vote.
The majority of everyone in the Veto competition went into it later on not wanting to change the noms. The ones that didn’t want to change a thing all got eliminated until it was Keanu vs. Rachel. The pressure was on. Keanu was fighting for his chances at the game or at least he should have been. Keanu seemed to have lost his will to play at one point.
Keanu was moving slow only he still won Veto. No one congratulated him. Keanu was so ticked off that he reminded Ava she had a prompt and she snapped at him for talking to her like that. Keanu was the villain this season. He made himself one. He still apologized to Ava afterwards and no one acknowledge he had a right to snap.
There was a script for when someone won Veto. Ava didn’t follow it. They didn’t cheer or even clap for him like they should have. Keanu also didn’t curse at her. Everyone in the house was against him and he was just supposed to be fine with that?
Anyways, Keanu took himself off the block again. Mickey needed to nominate someone new. It was Rachel that gave her the idea to nominate Vinny. Vinny could see that Mickey was seriously considering it. So, he told her about the alliance Jimmy had with Keanu and Kelley. Mickey and Morgan thought that was so dumb.
They were in his final three. They didn’t understand why he’d play both sides when he was safe. It upset Mickey so much that she considered nominating Jimmy. It was either Jimmy or Vinny. They were both big moves.
Mickey wanted to save her relationship with Morgan and so she nominated Jimmy for eviction.
THE END!
