Daily Feeds Recaps
Day 33 - Saturday - August 9, 2025
Late night catchup: recall that yesterday Ava told Mickey about the Bond alliance, and how she felt Vince and Zach were two-timing her was one of the reasons she put them on the block together. Of course she asked Mickey to keep the Bond knowledge to herself, but of course Mickey told Morgan about it. Morgan had already been spiraling about both her F3 guys being nominated and fearing she'd be the next target, but that increased her paranoia exponentially. Ava already had decided to put up Morgan as renom if needed, so that paranoia was justified. Also, Rylie pressured Katherine about their relationship, like he does, and badgered her about her mood, her reciprocal feelings, and how she's his girl and he wants the whole world to know it, even though she continues being hesitant about on-camera PDAs. Eventually she did initiate a kiss, again. This morning, chatters noticed a camera on them, and Zach did his heart-hands for it like he did on opening day after he saved Julie. That feels like it was six months ago instead of one.
Katherine and Will were picked to play veto along with Ava, Keanu, Vince, Zach. Mickey will host - again? I assume she hosted the HOH comp but maybe not. At any rate, she asked Ava yesterday if she could and Ava agreed. Psst-pssting was everywhere of course. Vince was still mopey and tragic, and he let Keanu coach him a light workout again. Keanu again acted like he can control Rachel's vote, and he said her new crew is Ava, Mickey, Will, adding that Rachel's consistently picking the wrong allies and they're all going home. Mickey tried to get Ava not to target Morgan for renom but Ava remained firm on that, partly because she heard how upset Morgan was about both her bros going up. Morgan made rounds, including a lengthy one with Rylie. He did more of his big tough talk, "let them fuckin try me" etc, and they bonded over each of them being selfless souls, only ever thinking of others in the game and in life. That was rich, since they're arguably the two most self-centered people in there. Also, Lauren learned how to boil water.
Adoptable anipals took them away for their veto comp at 11.45am and came back about 3.15pm. The yard was open all morning so it was an indoor comp, and it was the yankee swap. Katherine won the veto, Ava got $5,000, Will got a trip to London, Keanu got "Big Ol' Butt" or Butt-ler, Vince got something about hard boiled eggs, and Zach got a 24-hour tethering something, which he picked Rachel for (she raised her hand/volunteered, per later retells). Vince and Zach were still in comp costumes which were colorful zoot suit jackets with neckties. Ava told Will she "doesn't give a crap ass" what Katherine does with it, but she'll put up Morgan if she uses it. Zach told Lauren and Morgan in the pantry that Will told him he'll tell Katherine to veto Zach, and tell Ava to put him (Will) up. That convo wasn't on feeds nor any hint of something like it. I suspect Zach was trying to peg Will as a liar if/when it doesn't happen, maybe to take the focus off him being pegged as a liar if/when he uses his $10k veto on himself. Time will tell. Meanwhile Ava also told Will that she likes Zach and hopes he'll stay, and she'll go "all in" on getting Vince out if noms stay the same.
Mickey and Rachel agreed they hope Keanu wins the Block Buster and stays. And Rachel said she's absolutely not going to see the jury house, she'd either go home before jury starts or she'll stick to the end. (That "I can't go to jury" line worked pretty good for Dr Will on BB7.) Rachel later told Ava that Mickey's already working to keep Vince. Morgan gave another tragic movie poster when she sniffled to Will about Zach's noble move in taking a task so Will could have the London trip, saing "that gesture was amazing." Later Morgan was the consoling one when Vince fell apart, saying maybe he's just not good at this game, and Morgan reassured him that he very much is. Katherine told Rylie she's not going to use her veto on anyone "obviously" as that would open a seat for Rylie to potentially occupy. Ava told Ashley she respects Katherine 20-fold more now, for taking the veto rather than keeping the $5k. (Ava may not be aware that Rylie was railing about her to Katherine last night, afraid she was going to snake him/them.) And Ava also said if the veto isn't used this week, it'll be the first time in forever - true!

Vince got his egg outfit around 7pm. I think he's a hardboiled det-egg-tive? He has a trenchcoat, necktie, fedora, giant magnifying glass, and a little rolly-stool to get pulled around the house or perch on. It's an inspired costume, and he can't even get out of bed without help. He perked up quite a bit which was good to see after these days of moping around. He was happy to announce he'll be getting a swimming egg outfit later, and when he talked about his egg jammies being "a fuzzy onesie with a baby beanie" Zach and especially Will about died laughing. Keanu's Big Ol' Butt-ler arrive a little later. He has a tux with white gloves, and an enormous ass with a silver tray perched on top. He was reading directions and making pigs in blankets with canned crescent rolls, so he'll probably have to make and serve those periodically when he gets a signal. Rachel and Vince laughed about Paulie refusing to make his apples pies and crying about it, and so did I.

Ratings - TBA edition
Ratings will be updated sooner or later, based on entertainment value - free neutrals for most til then
Noms count: original/renom/twist
  
Paying customers shouldn't be jerked around like they jerk us around. BB Canada jerked us around horribly and continuously, but those feeds were free. (Not an excuse, but still a factor.) We are the core audience who drive engagement with this silly show, and they should be treating us with gratitude and respect, rather than constantly shitting on us.
Update: Make it a double down for blocking the costume reveals and reactions from us, and Zach and Rachel's task.

4th evicted - Day 31
He was the 2nd HOH but like Vince the prior week, he was over-allied and self-painted into a corner, so he put up his bestie Rachel's bestie Amy as renom pawn, and off she went. He worked hard at being sassy and campy, especially to and with Rachel, but she pulls it off without even trying and his comedy usually felt more performative than entertaining. But at least he put in an effort, which is more than most of them this year. His dress-up noms were almost as cringe as Todrick's, and that was magnified by his resentment when he hit the block a couple weeks later. He was a good sidekick for Rachel and liked by most of them.

3rd evicted - Day 24
His pre-season stuff was wild, with his homemade wall comp and boisterous personality, but that guy didn't show up, maybe due to the syndrome of everyone being center-of-attention types and there just isn't enough limelight for everyone. His comp skills were good and he would have been a better choice for Rachel's protegé than Keanu but they had zero rapport, and Adrian's social game was absent with almost everyone. He had his moments with his emotional support bread and issues with doors, but he harped about honesty and loyalty too much so maybe this just wasn't the show for him. But he's a good guy and I wish him well.

Single, 3 kids - fan applicant, prior callback, casual feedster
Insurance agent Stockton, CA
2nd evicted - Day 17
She didn't do as much as some in the 'older woman' casting slot before her, but she got away with being the move-in Accomplice by doing a few tasks without being caught. She and Rachel bonded quickly and tightly as fellow moms, but their closeness made a target of Amy and she got the boot to weaken Rachel's game. She was generally liked in there, and she cried a lot but she handled slop well. She got out by the July 31 deadline to get her job of 20 years back, if she wants it.

Salesperson Provo, UT Phoenix, AZ (orig Paducah, KY)
1st evicted - Day 10
It's nice to get a brojock out early, especially first, and between constantly exhibiting his muscles and his smarts, he didn't do much to help prevent that. He didn't lay down to die when he hit the block so that's something, but he campaigned repetitively and relentlessly, holding voters hostage for hours at a time and talking 100 mph at them without pausing for breath. He landed himself on TMZ and tangled with Rachel, and that's about all he'll be remembered for.

THE REAL SHOW IS THE FEEDS
I'm no longer a feeds affiliate, but feeds remain the only way to get the full story

GAME TWISTS
Day 1: Rachel joined the cast and the game.
Day 1: Amy was a secret accomplice. She wasn't identified by a majority of players (or any of them) so remained in the game.
Day 1: Zach won $10k in Find Julie move-in comp. If he's on the block after veto meeting any week before jury, he can buy safety. HOH will get the $10k and have to name another nominee.
Day 1: Rachel had first week immunity and automatic Have-not. The other HNs (Ava, Will, Zach) also had immunity.
Day 10: Keanu won Mystery Competitor in HOH comp: an alum will play veto on his behalf if he's on the block, before jury.
> Used Day 12: Kaycee played for him, and won.
Day 10: Kelley won Mystery Veto in HOH comp: can play an individual challenge to win a second veto to save herself or someone else on the block, before jury.
> Used Day 14: won her challenge and took herself off the block.
Day 10: Mickey won HOH Interrogation in HOH comp: can anonymously dethrone reigning HOH, who can interrogate everyone and make an official guess who did it. If correct, they're back to HOH and if not, she reveals herself and becomes HOH, before jury.
> Used Day 24/25: took over Rylie's HOH.
