There’s been a negative discourse around Rylie’s relationship with Katherine. Some felt he should go home. It wasn’t because of the power of a showmance. Its because he allegedly displayed problematic behavior with her and the fans were left concerned. They felt the show should step in to save Katherine. They were also really happy that Rylie got nominated yesterday. It gave them a chance to send him home and so Morgan and Mickey’s odds were better now that they were on the block with him. They couldn’t stand a chance against Vinny. Vinny has friends all over the house. Rylie has mostly stuck to Katherine. And via Katherine he was friends with Lauren.

Its actually Lauren that got Rylie nominated for eviction. Lauren was told that using her Veto power would result in Rachel getting back at her by nominating one of her friends. Lauren just thought that was a threat. She didn’t think Rachel would be so petty. Yet, she forgot that Rachel was old school “Big Brother”. Rachel doesn’t make a threat she can’t back up. She nominated Rylie out of spite and she let the whole house know that it was Lauren’s decision that led to it. It was really petty. It’s also consequences and Lauren hasn’t faced those so far in this game.

Katherine was livid with her.

Lauren should have considered her own game before she saved Vinny. Vinny has had a final two with so many people that his words no longer count. He told both Rylie and Kelley that. Kelley then told Rylie about it. They no longer trust him. They’d rather keep Keanu around than Vinny. Vinny was the perfect target that week until Lauren upended things. The house doesn’t seem to know about Rylie’s problematic behavior. It’s mostly people watching the live feeds that have commentated about it until now it’s a thing on social media.

The regular viewers, watching this on tv, don’t see this behavior. Nor did anyone else in the house. They all like Rylie. He has voted with both sides of the house. They all thought they could work with him. Mickey only feels safe if she goes up against Rylie because she would have the people that vote for him. Things change if she goes up against Morgan. It was all about BB Block Buster tonight. Whoever wins makes this eviction decision so much easier. Vinny was personally hoping that it was either Morgan or Rylie that wins because he had a final two with Morgan as well.

Vinny was working with Mickey because that was the deal with Morgan. He doesn’t actually care if Mickey goes home. He doesn’t entirely trust her and that’s a good thing because she sent home another one of his allies. On the other hand, he knew he could rely on Rylie. He’d vote to keep Rylie. They solidified their final two on day two. Vinny also wasn’t alone in not trusting Mickey. There were others in the house that were turning off of Mickey too. Mickey doesn’t believe in allies. She thinks she tells people what to do and they’ll do it.

Mickey started planting seeds around the house against her supposed friends. She made quips about Ashley and Morgan. Both of whom went to bat for her multiple times before then. Will was even turning against her and he was rooting for her at the Veto competition. Morgan turned off Mickey when she saw Mickey do the candy thing that she taught her with Katherine. Mickey also implied that Ashley was spending so much time with Rachel that she was behind Rylie’s nomination. Mickey was burning so many bridges that her friends made an alliance against her.

Will, Ashley, Rachel, Morgan, and Vinny made an alliance called “the judges”. They were hoping to blindside Mickey at the eviction ceremony. Only Mickey managed to pull off a win. Mickey later won the BB Block Buster called “Settle the Score”. Her winning left Morgan standing against Rylie. It was Vinny’s worst fear. It was fine for Rachel because she still gets rid of a strong competitor. She also would’ve successfully turned Katherine against Lauren. Rachel secured a win either way thanks to Lauren.

And while people were disappointed they couldn’t eliminate Mickey, the house was still willing to vote with her for now. They overwhelmingly voted to keep Morgan. Rylie was evicted tonight and those hating his alleged love-bombing ways were now glad he’s gone! Rylie’s longest goodbye was of course to Katherine. Katherine was in tears. She was so distraught to lose him and so maybe the accusations against him were being blown out of proportion. Or maybe Katherine will see the truth in time. It’s hard to tell. All anyone knows is that Rylie left with few words. He accused Rachel of manipulating things behind the scenes before he said he didn’t want to leave badmouthing anyone.

THE END
