Day 74 - Friday - September 19, 2025
For the late night catch-up report, Vince's third letter was from his dad, and he laughed about how short it was. Ava, correctly expecting to be on the block with Keanu, pitched a plan to Ashley to win veto and use it on her, so Morgan would have to go up and they'd vote her out. A good plan in theory from Ava's perspective, maybe not due to the Judges thing from Ashley's perspective. Vince told himself/us that his plan is indeed to nominate Ava and Keanu, with Keanu the target, and if he wins veto, Ava goes. Vince and Morgan were up all night again, far less contentious than last week, and there's some suspicion out here that they have some kind of code about their relationship after the show, with the phrase "option one" coming up a lot.
Vince met with Keanu about the noms, double-twirling his mustache, grinning, and even yawning at one point as he told Keanu he'll be hitting the block again. Keanu got upset and heated, rehashing all the Reasons he shouldn't go up and Morgan should, and scorning Vince's claims of loyalty with lines like "no one's gonna say you were fucking loyal for shit, dude!" He got Vince's attention when he said Vince not only loses to Morgan at finals, but to any of them, including Ava and Ashley. Vince said "no, FUCK NO! HELL NO! I REFUSE!" about losing to either of them. Keanu hammered on how Morgan ran Vince's game, and he said he'll inform and sway the jury about that if he goes. Vince wanted to know where that angle came from (despite saying it himself repeatedly about the Lauren situation), and Keanu said it went back to Week 7 when Vince put Katherine up rather than Ashley, Rachel, Will. Keanu said Morgan was allied with them, and Vince was/is not. (He was when the Judges formed the week before, but they only brought in Vince to placate him, and use him to get Rylie out. It paid off when Vince won the next HOH and put up Katherine as renom.)
This morning also included Morgan saying a lengthy prayer aloud, performatively in my opinion, and Ava singing her season rehash and addressing us directly, often. She's been alternating between giving up and thinking she has a shot to win. Vince told her she'll be going up with Keanu, and she wasn't surprised. Vince retold his Keanu convo to Ashley and Morgan, and got stuck on the narrative about Morgan running Vince's game. Keanu retold to Ashley, repeating his same talking points, and questioning the whole Vince/Morgan relationship, saying "if I was Vince's girlfriend I'd slap him." Ashley said to us afterwards "give me the Oscar because having to listen to Keanu and stroke his ego almost took me out." They were all sent to outside lockdown for something or other, maybe removing all the comp props and decor from the Have-not room. Keanu commiserated with Ava, and ranted quietly at her, and Morgan rehashed and shmoozed Vince to ensure he wasn't swayed by Keanu's (skewed and sloppy, but valid) arguments for why Morgan should go this week. And she brought up Vince lying to her early on about not having any other alliances than her and Zach, now that she knows he did. Vince and Keanu then went another low-key round, with Vince feigning doubt about putting up Keanu, and continuing to cover all bases by studying days.
It sounds like Mastermind told them eviction "could" come early, anytime, even "all hours of the night." Today Vince was saying it'll be tomorrow "after veto." Maybe he's correct, or assuming, or misinterpreting, or just wrong. Doing it that soon makes no sense to me if fifth place eviction won't air til Wednesday but I have no idea, and I also don't know if feeds will be down from whenever they tape that eviction until it airs. We'll find out. Feeds did go to adoptable anipals around 6pm and it turned out to be for the veto comp.
The final Unlocked was packed and included awards like BB Canada used to do, here called the BBies. Yep, BBies. Undisputed queen of snark Britney Haynes was sadly underused as she read category entries and announced the winners, except Chelsie and James Gunn each did a category as well. Chelsie also did a fantasy draft update. The award winners were Best Fight: Rachel vs Keanu (the bathroom one that I think was an Unlocked exclusive); Best One Liner: Katherine's "I am sat" in response to Rachel telling her to take a seat; Best Lost Dignity Moment: Keanu doing a squat in his butt-ler suit and splitting his pants; Best Zing: Morgan's (which should have been Vince's), decided by viewer vote; Best Comic: Keanu's Butt-ler, decided by James; and Worst Game Move: Zach's unused veto. Also, Zingbot was brought back to life with typically cheesy BB special effects and the worst zings yet were delivered to all the hosts, as well as Andrew the intern.
We saw Rachel posing around the jury house in another red gown, with newly re-reddened hair, and her shock when Will joined her. As usual for those segments, too much time was given to watching them watch TV segments we've seen, but that's how they do things. Additional segments included Keanu's big mouth and resulting telephone game; Diary hate clips about Mastermind plus acknowledgement he was AWOL for two months; Kelley's favorite bugs, dead or alive; Vince falling over in his chair and Kelley claiming witchcraft credit; and an In Memoriam segment for evictees, with clever subtitles. James was presented with his own comic, Scriptonite, which he loved. That was a meta moment since our comics artist Tom Nguyen draws for DC (as well as Marvel and others). Britney opened the viewer favorite vote: the link for that is on the sidebar to your left, Viewer Votes section. All in all, I didn't hate the Unlocked series. Some parts of it I could personally do without, but I actually enjoyed a lot of it more than I expected to.
Feeds came back around 9pm and they had done the tiny veto stacking comp. Morgan won another one, and she happily held up the full size and the tiny one for us. They all said it was harder than they thought it would be, especially Ashley and Vince, and Keanu who'd chugged some of his high octane Cuban coffee just before. Vince and Morgan shared one of their patented extendo-hugs in the kitchen, and Keanu went outside to play pool on his own, and mutter to himself, aware that he's done. Vince joined him and Keanu said he shouldn't have trusted him, and he now (finally) realizes Rachel was right, she's the only one who never lied to him, and that he was on his own the whole game. Ashley told Keanu she'll vote him out over Ava, as it makes more sense for her game, which he accepted. He went back down his mostly-faulty rehash path, and mentioned his F2 with Rachel, and he was surprised that Ashley knew about that. And she said he'll see some things in his good-bye message(s) that will explain some things. Later he told her he'll vote for her or Ava at the end if Morgan isn't there, but he won't vote for Vince. Ashley said if she wins the final veto, she'll evict Morgan.
There was talk that the eviction could be during the night? That seems unlikely, but veto comp an hour after noms did too and here we are.

Day 73 - Thursday - September 18, 2025
Things took an unexpected turn last night when Lauren crumpled during another pitch to Morgan. Morgan took over of course, and after an extended time, Lauren said she doesn't want to go home, and she cried, and Morgan hugged her. The tragic movie poster series didn't see that coming, but it makes a good addition. Lauren went downstairs and said the same thing to Vince, and burst out crying again, her fists balled up at her eyes again. I would like to remind Lauren, and all of them, the nine people they happily kicked out already didn't want to go home either, nor did Rachel. After that, things went more like usual, with Morgan and Vince doing their overnight back and forths, this time with Vince doubling down on his love for Morgan and how he never thought he'd find someone like her in there, with her saying "it's mutual." Cue the violins.
As of this morning, there was still no solid resolution about the votes, but it was looking more like Lauren could go, which she realized. Campaigns kicked off again, notably Lauren to Morgan with Morgan taking over, and Keanu hyper-planning to Vince. Keanu said he let Kelley win at chess yesterday so she thinks she's got a mental edge over him now, and he was first to turn in his packed bags to thwart Kelley's superstition about that. And Keanu hyped up Vince about getting Morgan out - at least he thought he hyped up Vince about that. I doubt they were told tonight's a double but they know they need one (or two) and the morning lockdown came a couple hours earlier than usual, so don't buy the shockfaces when Julie gives them the news tonight. Ashley and Ava speculated if it'll be a regular double or not, if Block Buster will be in place for the second one (it won't), and if Mastermind will come along to eliminate someone else without a vote. Ava told Ashley "this is our version of gametalk because we can't really plan." Ashley's been running scenarios like crazy to others, and to us, so she didn't really respond to that one. Ava could plan, somewhat, but it would mean putting in a little effort, and she seems to be allergic to that.
The show's IG posted its third clue for tomorrow's final Unlocked, indicating it's likely DC Studios co-CEO and director James Gunn, making it five men out of five guest hosts. Julie posted her final Block Buster preview: they have to dive through packing peanuts to find balls, than run up a few stairs and drop them over a fence into a tube below. The first to get four into their tube wins. It's a workout and Julie didn't complete it. Alison won similar on BB4, and four men have won it since. It was always HOH or veto before, requiring like 20 successful drops, except S20 when it was a live battle-back requiring only four. Scottie won that, despite Fessy's height giving him an advantage for the lean-and-drop.
The show spent over 40 minutes on recaps, catch-ups, Vince's muscle cramps, his and Morgan's ongoing telenovela, and pretending the double will be a surprise (it was not). The final Block Buster finally arrived with Mastermind giving the intro and instructions, with assorted nonsense about power orbs and evidence and crystal something or other to power up his lair and get it back online? In English, the first to get four balls into his or her tube within four minutes won, and that was Lauren, who took an early lead and finished easily. Kelley and Keanu gave their speeches, and Kelley was evicted. Ashley and Morgan voted to evict her, and Vince broke the first tie of the season to send her out. She went through with the scorcher exit speech she'd often threatened by calling out Vince's Week 1 F2 with her, and his F3s and F4s with her and others, and she said Morgan will control whatever he does from here. She acknowledged to Julie the many times she volunteered to go on the block, and she said she's irritating.
Back inside, Mastermind showed up on their monitor to announce it's a double but that's not the end of his mayhem, and then Julie told them it's a double and that Block Busters are done. They went right to the HOH comp which was a rolly-ball up a ramp, and they had to land five balls in a small area at the end. That was complicated by more power orbs and reactors jargon, and a lot of rules about what happens if their balls fall off and where. Morgan won that, her first HOH. They did some rushed whispery convos, like they do for doubles, and Julie called them back to the living room for noms. Morgan put up Keanu and Lauren, and they finally went to the first commercial break since before the Block Buster - that was unexpected!

The veto comp was another Mastermind-sponsored affair that was stupid easy if they had good eyesight and observation skills. They had to select which section of pics of themselves he was hiding in (described as stills from government surveillance video), Find Waldo style. They all had correct answers for the first five questions except Ava and Vince, who each missed one. The next two questions were a bit trickier, and it ended with Morgan and Keanu tied after seven. The tiebreaker was how many seconds was the wall comp? The answer was 4,481 (about an hour and 15 minutes). Keanu said 1,800 (half hour) and Morgan, after much scribbling and Julie prompting her for an answer, said 120 (two minutes), landing Morgan in the unbelievable tiebreaker math blunders hall of fame. That got Keanu another veto, which he used on himself obviously. Morgan put up Ava in his place, and Lauren was evicted 2-1 with only Vince voting to keep her.

Julie brought out tomorrow's final Unlocked guest host who is indeed James Gunn, arguably the biggest deal guest they've had ever? Timely speaking, anyway. But reminder, the new Paramount bosses have announced a plan to acquire Warner Bros, who own DC Studios. There were Superman promos from both him and Julie, and her Chenbot comic was brought up on the video wall so they could do a bit about putting her in his next movie. But to his credit, he said he's been watching since the first season, and his faves are S2 for Dr Will, S6 for Janelle, plus S16 and S24, conveniently for who he was about to sit down with. He also said he's a Lauren fan so he was disappointed with her exit. So it goes.
Julie had opened the show by saying tonight is the one and only double eviction of the summer, and at signoff she said next Wednesday will be a "special eviction" (which often means pre-taped with no audience), and another live eviction next Thursday, so that will (finally) bring us to three to go into finale the following weekend. Back inside, we got a preview of Sunday's post-eviction fallout segment with Morgan thoughtfully counseling Vince about having lost Lauren, in one of the most tragic movie posters yet. Feeds came back for awhile(!) and the show's IG posted tonight's endurance comp will be on feeds, and then feeds went back to adoptable anipals a little later for an extended time.
Feeds came back about 9.30pm and they were in the Have-not room, redesigned to be - I don't know, maybe the masked dude's lair? It was super dark with candles (likely LED candles) all around - I had to boost brightness on these screencaps a lot, and it was silent. At first I thought it was a Pressure Cooker but no, it was the one where they hold long swords or similar out in front of them. Morgan was alone in the house, puttering around making food, and talking at us since she had nobody else to talk at. She wasn't alone for long though as Ava dropped around 9.40pm, followed by Ashley around 9.58pm. Ava and Ashley both said it was a heavy sword or whatever, requiring upper body strength. Keanu told Vince they should go to one leg to end it sooner and I think they did for awhile, and he also said he was glad to finally have uninterrupted time with Vince. Keanu dropped around 10.28pm, giving Vince another HOH win, and giving us another several days of him and Morgan doing their thing up there. At least it won't be a full week this time.

Morgan's HOH goodies arrived in the pantry and it was a huge haul. She was especially happy to get pics of her family and dog Olive, and a bottle of pinot grigio which she held up and hollered "we're drinking tonight!" And they did. She shared around and then drank from the bottle after reading her letter from her mom, a BB fan from way back. I'm not going to wait up for Vince's room - we've seen that movie, and recently. I'm only interested in who his letter's from due to the ongoing soap opera, and his music and booze for the tallies.

2nd juror - 10th evicted - Day 66
He was an easy early target but after two trips to the block he rebelled, and then stayed safe until Week 9. He usually had good reads and knew what was going on, but was never in power to do much about it. He was in various alliances but again, none that drove the game until the Judges had a good run for a couple weeks. He bonded with several but especially Ava and Ashley, and he often complained about the kiddies' immaturity and conversation topics. He had a quick wit that entertained them and us, especially with his great Diaries, and his emotions were deep and touching for HOH letters and evictions. He was loved by virtually all of them and he got the boot because of that. He's a prince of a man and one of the few shining lights of the season, and I wish him nothing but the very best.

1st juror - 9th evicted/eliminated - Day 59
She could have played down her vet/winner status and embedded herself as an equal by Week 2 but instead she reminded them often, which may have hurt her game. But that's Rachel. She dressed for ceremonies, fights, and pivotal gametalks, but her dramatics were campy and fun, and always intentional. Her maturity and social game were so improved from her prior seasons, there's no comparison, and she made legions of new fans (including me) while retaining her originals. She looked after them all on a daily basis and she gamed hard but subtly, except when it came to fighting for her allies, when she was highly vocal. She was a target for most but lasted til jury without hitting the block, until a random and ridiculous twist took her out. Hands-down Star of the Season and it's not even close.

She was playing a good game with good reads, and was well-liked, until she took over Rylie's HOH. He railed at her about it but she finessed him magnificently until he agreed to go on the block as a pawn. (He railed about that later but not to her.) She got such an extreme case of HOHitis it lasted four weeks, and made her a house target. She had a reprieve the week after her HOH because Ava put up the big targets, and then she hit the block every week. She saved herself by winning Block Buster, then by winning veto, and then they got her out. She did a lot of the cooking for everyone, and told good stories, and she fibbed about wearing an original T'kor hat that was actually a $5 cheapie from Shein.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 10: 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.
Day 59: Ava won a shuffleboard comp and immunity from elimination, and started a safety chain. Vince, Lauren, Morgan completed a hamster wheel maze challenge, with less time for each competitor. Rachel failed and was eliminated from the game.
