Oh, boy. This is Big Brother.
On Monday, Rachel Reilly gave her housemates a taste of what it was like to play the game back when she won.
The aftermath? An exhilarating day of Big Brother live feeds highlighted the need for the long-in-the-tooth reality series to improve its casting of big players for future seasons.
As TV Fanatic reported, Lauren used the Power of Veto on Vince, pushing Rachel to nominate Rylie in his place.
Has Rachel Ruined Her Chances on Big Brother Season 27?
Vince had been working on Lauren ever since she won the Veto on Saturday, and figured Rachel would nominate Kelley in his place.
But Rachel had been trying to carve out bonds with both Keanu and Kelley, and keeping them off the block showed them that she meant business.
So, you can only imagine Rachel’s surprise when Kelley spent the bulk of Monday trashing her to anyone who would listen following the Veto meeting.
Kelley needs to find her place in the game, and fast, because she seems to think that she has many allies.
Unfortunately for her, she doesn’t, and anything she’s been working on will be at the bottom of the totem pole.
It’s a shame because Rachel handed her an olive branch, and even though Mickey told Rachel that Kelley betrayed her last week, Rachel still tried to make something work with the competition beast.
Then there’s the Keanu of it all. Keanu’s delusions have made the season entertaining because every time he thinks he has a read on the house, he’s proven wrong.
Love him or hate him, Keanu wanted Rachel to work with Vince and Riley, but how can she do that when they’re not giving her the courtesy of game talk?
These players believe people are conspiring against them, but perhaps they’d be in a stronger position if they were more open to collaborating with others.
Keanu Isn’t On Rachel’s Side
Rachel and Keanu had a devastating chat on Monday evening, and it seems like Rachel has realized that there’s no moving forward with Keanu.
He doesn’t trust her decisions, and, frankly, Rachel should find a better ally than him if he’s going to be that loyal to people who have been gunning for him. He should have supported Rachel’s nominations.
As expected, Rylie was livid to be put on the block and vowed to take Rachel out of the game next week.
But there was a wealth of drama in the form of what happened when the feeds went down for the Veto meeting.
Everything went dark after Rachel told Lauren that the person she was putting up in Vince’s place could be her ally.
At the time, we didn’t know whether Rachel said Rylie’s name, and despite initially claiming that to have no clue Rylie was the replacement, Lauren later confessed that it did happen to Katherine.
Katherine was upset because she didn’t want Lauren to use the Veto and felt her friend hadn’t considered the consequences of her actions.
Will Vince Pick a Side?
They have smoothed things over since, but could you imagine Katherine’s reaction if Rylie were sent home?
Right now, it’s looking like Mickey is the target, but the BB Blockbuster could make the other houseguests contemplate another plan.
If Mickey comes off the block, Riley is a decent target, and it would be a real test for Vince to see where his loyalties lie.
He’s closely aligned with Morgan and Rylie, so it could be a fun week ahead.
As for Rachel, she’s probably toast unless Ashley, Ava, Keanu, or Will win the next Head of Household.
Keanu could put Rachel on the block, but if he’s smart, he won’t put her up, since she has tried to keep him in the game in recent weeks.
