Day 58 - Wednesday - September 3, 2025

Last night Vince shmoozed Lauren hard for a long time, and eventually Morgan burst in and greeted him like she hadn't seen him in months. Lauren squealed to Ava and Vince about their season having Youtube videos, and how crazy it is that "the guy who does Big Brother stuff" is going to say her name, "probably." Rachel and Mickey talked about Vince and Morgan being an actual showmance now, one that needs breaking up like Rylie and Katherine, so watch for that as vote chats unfold. Morgan and Keanu shmoozed each other by talking about themselves. He suggested an alliance of them plus Kelley, Lauren, Vince, and he told her about the Unexpendables F3 with Rylie and Vince.

This morning Kelley wondered if they could grind up ants to add to food. Also, she swept the floors and -shocker- Vince swiffered them, before he gave a lie-laden campaign pitch to Will. Vince pitched to Ava and said he's livid that Keanu put him up and is now campaigning for him to stay, while also saying he doesn't care who goes, and he said he (Vince) would put up Keanu and Kelley if he stays. Ava then went on another major angry rant about Vince to Lauren, calling him a son of a bitch and a motherfucker, because nothing he told her is what he told Kelley. And she again repeatedly apologized to Lauren for saying all that. Ava said she feels sorry for Kelley in a weird way because she's buying his stories that he's turned over a new leaf. Ava again told Lauren she's voting him out no matter what and she doesn't care who gets mad about it. Keanu wandered through the pantry during this chat, as did Vince. Ava greeted him friendly, "oh Vinny, hi king, what are you up to?" Lauren didn't let Ava know she'd ratted out her last rant to Vince, but later she implied to Vince that he might not have Ava's vote, but added she wasn't sure and she needs to talk to Ava again, and she added her now-usual "I'm scared." She did talk to Ava again, who ranted again, and apologized again. Ava told Will she wants to tell Vince "you're unemployed? I have a new job for you: lip service, bullshit artist." Will cracked up at that. Ava told Ashley she has her vote either way, and Ava told Morgan she had "a nice conversation with Vinny today, I love him."

Lauren gave her and Ava's Have-not feast requests to Rachel and Morgan (pizza, mac 'n cheese, breakfast potatoes). They took it a lot better than I (or many) would, saying they'll be happy to make it for them. Morgan made another of her Very Special Bagel Sandwiches for Keanu, as yesterday's provided her so many talking points, and she held it up for the cameras to marvel over. Unfortunately for today's talking points, Mickey was upstairs playing chess with Kelley and Keanu, but she probably heard it. Morgan said she used to think while watching the show "these people are in game mode all the time! Like, you CAN'T, you will literally drown yourself alive!" Ironic, since now that she's on it, she only stops talking game to talk about herself or when she sleeps, and she doesn't sleep much. Speculation about upcoming comps happened in different rooms at the same time, with mostly erroneous info about the comps, the seasons they were on, and how they worked. I wish casting and production would stop encouraging casuals to call themselves superfans. Rachel pulled out her gym lozenges stash to study some more. She told us she expects to go on the block a lot from here on out and the only way she'll survive that is to keep studying for mental comps, and to keep working out for physical ones.

Rachel offered Lauren a dress to wear tomorrow, which she tried on and liked, as did everyone who saw it, but she later said she's too scared to wear it. I had a hard time dealing with the whispering today but a lot of them are guaranteeing Mickey their votes and trying to get her to throw the Block Buster so they can vote her out. I don't know if Mickey's aware of that, but she did tell Will she plans to go hard for the Block Buster win. He's been promising his vote to her too, but said he doesn't want her to be blindsided so if she loses Block Buster, he may give her a heads-up before the vote. When Lauren reported to Vince she'd told Mickey she's undecided, he pitched a plan for Lauren to promise Mickey her vote, and stick to it, and ask Kelley to take the blame for that vote, and meanwhile Ashley would go instead. I may have confused that - as I said, I lost the plot tonight, apologies. But he was clearly pushing Lauren into something she wasn't comfortable with, saying things like "one white lie could change the whole course of the game, for the better," and it's a game of betrayal and manipulation, and he wants to go to finals with Lauren. He kept asking if she's judging him and she kept saying no, but she asked if Vince would tell Mickey she's got Lauren's vote for her and he said he would. He asked if Lauren's going to hate him after this? She said no, but "it's still a person" and she'd wanted to play an honest game.

Have-nots got their feast at midnight so that's over for another week, and maybe another season? If they're lucky.

Unless things change, and they might, Mickey will probably go tomorrow if she doesn't win Block Buster. If she does, she's probably the swing vote as to whether Ashley or Vince meet Julie. Vince said numerous times today he wants to win the game more than any of the others, with a tone implying he deserves it more, which is reason enough to send him packing, in my opinion. Sorry/not sorry.

Day 57 - Tuesday - September 2, 2025

The yard was closed this morning, leading to speculation about a big comp build, but recall it was closed last Tuesday morning for what ended up being a Q&A booth comp. Ava told Rachel about her long convo with Mickey last night and laughed about keeping her fingers crossed throughout because she was lying, as she'd also told Lauren last night. Rachel did some studying and/or strategizing work with her stash of lozenges in the gym, and she and Ashley agreed they'll need Mickey to win Block Buster and cast her vote to boot Vince on Thursday in order to get him gone, and they thought Lauren might have been eavesdropping on that convo but didn't think she heard anything. Ava told Ashley she's her Princess Diana, as a high compliment. Mickey climbed into Kelley's bunk to campaign, which ended up being mostly shmoozing by encouraging Kelley to talk about herself and her life (a good way to try getting into Kelley's good graces). Mickey wasn't sure how to dismount afterwards but she managed it. Mickey also made a campaign pitch to Lauren's long pauses and silent whispers. Ashley asked Vince what his girlfriend and family might be thinking so far, and he said they're probably irritated this week, and he thinks about that now and then and it makes him anxious. Rachel shmoozed Keanu by asking him for workout tips, which he gave, and of course that evolved into more rehashes, plus Amazing Race stories. Kelley and Lauren agreed they aren't going to stick their necks out for Vince anymore. Kelley said "it's tempting to get Ashley out" and changed the subject to say "like, these monkeys" when Ashley entered, referring to the bathroom lamps, maybe. Hopefully.

They set up cornhole between the kitchen and bathroom and most were about to get involved in that, but BB made them stop. Will told Ava someone might take a shot at "the lovebirds" Vince and Morgan, and they compared notes about the plan for Morgan to veto Vince so Ashley would go up. Morgan told Will that Mickey had an issue about her making a sandwich for Keanu. Will said "two more days" and Will said Mickey doesn't want to be blindsided if she's going. Group food prep, and Rachel making an apple pie, had Kelley alone in the living room, glaring. She later told Keanu that Rachel brings out the mean girl in her and she doesn't like that. Ashley told Mickey and Will that Vince is the glue between Kelley and Lauren, and they'll need a place to go if he leaves. Rachel joined and they all talked about Morgan getting closer to Keanu, as well as with Vince. Ashley said Morgan's towards the bottom of their five, Mickey said "she doesn't know that," and Ashley said "she's a Keanu defender now." Rachel said Vince, Morgan, Keanu, Lauren are a foursome now with "Kelley as the sidepiece" giving them a majority with five. Ashley said "when Vince leaves, the ship sinks." Rachel said only Kelley and Lauren will go for HOH, and they'll put up her and Ashley. They speculated where Lauren would go if Vince does leave, and they agreed she's gotten tight with Kelley (true).

Vince had said he wouldn't campaign today but in case you missed it, he tends to lie. He made a pitch to Rachel in the gym, saying he wanted to cheer Ashley's speech at the veto meeting (that's not at all what he told Keanu about it), and he's big on forgiveness in life but knows he can't forget Keanu caused this "hurtful" week. Retells were immediate. Rachel told Ashley he said he's 100% with Judges and wants to go to the end with them. Ashley said "not to the end" and she reminded Rachel that Vince will tell them whatever he thinks they want to hear. A bit later Rachel retold to Will, with Ashley present, and they quickly moved to the vote. Will said he doesn't want Mickey to go out unanimously, and they said they need to have a Judges meeting about it. (Casting a sympathy vote when there are only seven votes and a split house feels risky to me, even if they expect Mickey to go out unanimously. A prior plan to explain to her in good-bye messages seems safer, but what do I know?) Vince retold to Keanu and said he felt Rachel was trying to trip him up, but he'd told her even though this week was hurtful, he's ready to move forward. Vince and Mickey then met to cross-campaign and compare notes, at least about what they each thought the other wanted to hear.

Rachel commented about the messy train room, adding "have you visited the resident houseguests? We call them hamsters, they run around, don't exercise, and eat all the food." All ten ended up at the table so they tried Big Booty again, and again they had trouble catching on. Rachel was probably talking about that game when she said "why are you all so bad?!" but she may have been talking about the bigger game - either would apply. Most of them finally caught on but their rhythm was atrocious, so they only played a few rounds before moving on to word association. That went a little better and they had some fun with it. Will was the star of both games, with quick responses and edgy humor. The games broke up after an hour or so, with hamsters scattering back to their corners to gossip and scheme. Morgan went back to retelling her issue with Mickey having issues about her making Keanu a sandwich issue, this time to Ashley, before Mickey joined them. All five Judges ended up in the lounge, whether planned or coincidental I don't know, but they agreed Mickey has to go. Ashley said she's nervous about Block Buster but they peptalked her about that, including Vince, saying it's meant to be quick so it won't be hard, just listen to the directions, ask questions, and stay calm.

Day 56 - Monday - Labor Day - September 1, 2025

It was a messy morning. Morgan complained to Will that everyone pitched for renom is her friend. Keanu made another attempt at getting her to save Vince by asking if she'd vote out Rachel if she goes up, adding "it literally only works if Vince comes off." Like last night, Vince woke right up and started throwing in Reasons to do so. Lauren joined Keanu and Vince as they went back and forth, not adding much until Keanu left when she told Vince she hopes it doesn't get back to Rachel that she was pitching the idea. Will got heated to Ava about Keanu, saying he has to GO, "he's a liar and he thinks he's running the game, and he's causing a wedge between you and some of the girls." Ava said she heard if she goes up, the girls are going to vote against her to keep Mickey, and "I could see a world where Rachel would prefer to keep Ashley over me." Will said he could see that, since Ashley is Rachel's bestie, but he assured Ava if she goes up, she'd stay against either Vince or Mickey.

Will asked Ashley about the latest rumors and it sounds like he'd been caught not listening to some convo or other, but he covered. Keanu asked Ava if she'd vote out Rachel if she went up because they need to save Vince. Ava said it's too big a decision to make on the spot and if Vince wants her vote, he needs to talk to her about it. Keanu went back to Vince to say Lauren and Kelley want Rachel on the block, adding the only way it works is if Vince wins Block Buster because he doesn't trust that Morgan wouldn't vote out Rachel over him. Vince said "I'd be so mad at her, that would be stupid" and Keanu said "and then I mess up that relationship." Ashley told Rachel that Keanu told Ava she needs to vote to keep Vince "because you, me, everyone" was pitching for Ava as renom. Rachel said "I hate him so much" about Keanu, and she went to Ava to say she would never ever pitch her for renom. Ava asked who said that, and Rachel lied and said Mickey told her. Rachel whispered "motherfucker" about Keanu just before feeds went down for veto meeting. She'll probably have a lot more to say when she finds out he was still pushing her for renom this morning.

All of that was in the space of one hour, and I barely scratch the surface. A house meeting is almost a necessity at this point.

Morgan used her veto on herself, like a normal hamster, and Keanu put up Ashley in her place. Feeds came back to Ashley commiserating with Will and Rachel. She had threatened making a scene if she hit the block, and Rachel had coached her not to, suggesting she stay classy and demure, but apparently Ashley did go off at Keanu, saying he'd promised her safety, and she said something about the way Keanu speaks to women. Keanu griped to Vince about that, saying "get the fuck out of here with that" and he was raised with women and is respectful to women. (Many in the fandom would disagree.) And he said when he's in the final two chairs, Ashley probably won't vote for him "out of spite" and "she hasn't been shown [on the episodes] since Showergate so she created her own controversy." Keanu later asked Lauren if he'd been disrespectful and she said she didn't think so. Keanu also told her about Rachel's F4 pitch last night, and that it was a transparent attempt to keep Ashley off the block. Rachel told Ashley and Mickey she thinks Keanu's just passionate and isn't a bad human, and Mickey said she thinks he is. Meanwhile Vince is potentially facing his worst nightmare: going home before jury starts. Lauren told Ava that Rachel told her she shouldn't be associated with Keanu, and that she doesn't understand where the misogyny stuff came from. Ava said Rachel started the fight, and added "I fucking hate everybody in this goddamn house equally" and "I call them twin flames, Keanu and Rachel, brother and sister from hell."

Keanu pointed at Rachel in the yard to summon her, and she said that's not a good way to get a lady's attention. They went up to HOH, and Morgan delivered a tray of crackers and grapes for their meeting. Rachel remained extremely calm for the most part and said he should apologize to Ashley for being disrespectful, that she's been yelled at on shows for 15 years and can take it but Ashley's just 25 "and you can't talk to young girls like that." Keanu said he cut off Ashley at the veto meeting because he was annoyed by her going off on him, but acknowledged he shouldn't have said something in the kitchen (I think that was saying she's not a factor in the game.) He said Ashley won't go home and Rachel teared up saying she might because of the narrative Keanu's been spinning about Ava, so they might not have her vote. They went several rounds, Rachel said she feels he is consistently trying to get her gone, which he denied (though he was still doing it this morning), and he said he would have thrown the HOH to Kelley if his goal was for Rachel and/or Ashley to be gone. They parted with a "consensual Frenemies hug." Ashley was the next to visit HOH, without a finger pointing summons, and she and Keanu each apologized to the other. Ashley said she'd already been flustered from all the morning's chaos, and said she can't even remember some of the things she said. Keanu said one line was a good one, something about him wearing or not wearing shoes and having his foot in his mouth. Ashley retold to Rachel and Vince. Rachel and Ashley each talked to Ava about the renom issue. Ashley told her that Vince and Morgan were pushing for Lauren to be the renom, which shocked Ava.

Meanwhile, Lauren went digging at a bed frame in Have-not, picked a lock, and opened a drawer. (Why there are empty drawers with all the clutter everywhere is another question.) She didn't discover a secret power or anything like that: she mouthed to us that she'd found her Hide and Go Veto hiding place. Vince was astonished to learn Jeanie Buss, owner of the Lakers, is a big BB fan. (Clarification for the sports purists: she recently sold majority interest in the team.) Kelley apparently told Keanu that Ava threw the latest Block Buster since she was so confident she'd survive the vote. Keanu said that to Ashley, who told Rachel and Vince. (Ava actually finished just a hair behind Kelley, but they have no way to know that unless they remember Kelley's a known, continual liar and Ava is not.) And it turns out the crochet hat Mickey wore yesterday saying it was an early T'kor creation was in fact not made by her. A hat like Mickey's is available on Shein for $5.

Feeds were down for them to have a Labor Day party from a little before 6pm til a little after 8pm. They got cornhole and oversize Jenga, but I don't think they got the grill - probably a wise decision with this group. Ava told Lauren about the plan for Morgan to take down Vince, and replace him with Lauren. Ava said "I'm telling you Lauren, I don't trust Vinny, I'm sorry. I don't think Vinny is a number for anybody. He and Morgan are like this [crossing fingers], he will do anything to stay in this game and backstab anybody. That's my opinion, I'm sorry!" She went on a long time about Vince's crimes, including putting her on the block, and why she can't vote to keep him, apologizing all the way, and said she's not going to tell Kelley because she retells everything. I couldn't hear most of Lauren's silent whispering but I did catch her saying she thinks Vince is playing the game out of fear rather than doing what he wants to do. (His fear is being caught playing them all against each other.) Meanwhile Vince was shmoozing Kelley in the yard, trying to earn her back. He told her "if I stay this week, we are set up for success!" Lauren later reported to Vince that Ava doesn't trust him and doesn't want him to stay.

The rest of the evening was some sippy silly convos, a lot of scenarios for this week's vote and next week's targets, more shmoozing, and some chit-chat. It's a very, very long time til Thursday and I'm sure they'll waffle the whole time.

Dear Diary,
We're in the toughest spot we've ever been in. The fans are screaming at us more than usual because they don't like this year's cast - believe us, we know! We've had to incorporate prior comp titles into current comps because these bozos don't even know they'll need to know them. The new corporate overlords are pressuring us to perform, and not go over budget, and prove our worth. We finally added a shit show side show like everyone wanted and nobody's watching it. And now as we head into the home stretch that always has the most intensive gameplay, the network's bouncing us around to different days and times because we're their lowest priority. It's too much, but all we can do is keep doing what we've always done: dilute days of intense gaming into a few minutes, focus on our colorful competitions, decide whether to add inspirational or clown music, and toss in our favorite overused sound effects. Roll tape.

7th evicted - Day 52

She was a non-entity in the game, uninvolved in most gametalks and alliances, and she was largely absent from the shows except when she won a shuffleboard veto. Her only claim to fame was Rylie's attachment to her, and even Diary appearances about that were missing until his HOH was taken over, and then we finally heard her say 'his charm is working' on her. On the feeds he obsessed at and about her nonstop but she didn't reciprocate, at least not openly, though she did initiate a lot of their hug and kiss sessions. When asked if he's her boyfriend she said no, and the very peculiar showmance leaned into major cringe territory as he started snapping at her when he was angry with others.




Won: BBBB Week 4

HOH 1 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/1/0 - HN 0

6th evicted - Day 45

He came in with rumors that ranged from wildly exaggerated to false, and he did nothing to redeem himself. He threw a hinky vote to evict fellow brojock Zae at the first vote and he boasted he could win any comp, but he only won two. He had a hissy fit when his HOH was taken over by Mickey, and another when Rachel put him up as renom, but most of his frequent angry outbursts were released at Katherine, and then he was friendly to whoever he'd just cussed out. He told Katherine she's his girl and he's going to marry her, but he didn't ask her thoughts about that. He should be grateful AF for the omissions and positive edit they gave him. Good riddance.




Won: $10,000; Move-in comp 1; Option to buy safety; Week 1 immunity; Overnight splat task

HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 1

5th evicted - Day 38

He won the first move-in comp but then invaded Julie's personal space and her toss to commercial on the premiere, and a week later he bawled when fellow brojock Zae got the boot. He played the same interwoven alliances game as Vince, including multiple alliances with Vince, but he got away with it longer, until he didn't. Morgan liked him but he liked Lauren, and Ashley thought he liked her but he didn't. He had the face, body, smile, charm of a champ but he self-hyped those qualities too much, making him unattractive. He had a secret veto that could have saved him but he didn't use it, so Julie whacked him with her cards.




Won: Move-in comp 2; Selected 1st HOH players; Movie guest

HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 1

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.




Won: BBBB Week 2

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.




Won: Day 1 accomplice

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.




Won: Nothing

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.

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 BB Buy-off in Find Julie move-in comp. He got $10k, but if he's on the block at the end of veto meeting any week before jury, he can buy safety. HOH will get the $10k and have to name another nominee.
 > Unused, he went home with the $10k

Day 1: Rachel had first week immunity and automatic Have-not. The other HNs (Ava, Will, Zach, selected by safety chain) also had immunity.

Weeks 1 thru ?: HOH picked three nominees, and veto renom if applicable. The three competed live in BB Block Buster before the vote, and the winner came off the block.

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.
