Big Brother Eviction: Whose Game Was Destroyed By The Villainous Mastermind?
The Final 5 has become the Final 4.
The saga of Vince and Keanu's friendship in the Big Brother house is a bumpy one, and in the special Wednesday night eviction (emceed, of course, by that nefarious little Mastermind), their (former?) bromance continues to downward spiral.
The houseguests are aware that a "special" eviction is around the corner, but luckily for nominees Keanu and Ava, a veto is still up for grabs. Before the comp, Vinny the Lip tells us in the D.R. that Keanu needs to go in order to boost his resume and pave his path to the end. Keanu calls him out, though, for continuously throwing him under the bus, going so far to call Vince a "spineless weasel" in his own Diary Room interview. (Ya deserve it, Vinny boy!) Morgan, of course, wants Keanu out so that the Judges can make it to the Final 3, and who better to do her dirty work than Vince. (Seriously, BB fans. If Vince wins this game... I shudder to think.)
Since it's late in the Big Brother season, we spend a few moments learning how to spell "Tupperware," before Ava and Ashley hilariously ponder whether they should send Morgan or Keanu home if Ashley wins the veto. Talk about counting your chickens. Morgan and Vince's kitchen tomfoolery is later interrupted by the Mastermind who tells them they're going to play the veto that very night... and it will require focus and concentration.
POWER OF VETO | In the competition, the houseguests must use the Mastermind's "torturous tweezers" to stack 30 puzzle pieces and recreate a mini portrait of the Mastermind. After a bunch of toppling, wacky noises and looks of despair, Morgan secures what feels like her 75th veto of the season. At this point, Keanu's game is more or less cooked.
Later at the pool table, Keanu and Vince have a spicy convo where Keanu tells Vince that "playing with a bunch of dumbasses" got him nowhere. He also says that if Vinny goes to the end with anyone left, there's no way he can win. (While I'm clearly and fully #TeamKeanu here, Keanu did lose me at, "My talents were completely wasted." Delusion is not a "talent," sir.)
Vince tells Morgan that he will genuinely miss these nights together as they lay head to toe in the HOH bed. (No comment there, VINCE, who has had a girlfriend.) MOVING ON.
The houseguests receive videos from home and Vince's is from his parents instead of his girlfriend. He says he's worried, "perception-wise," if he's been too affectionate with Morgan. The bed is "giant," he says, and her head is opposite of where his head is. (Ladies, I'll let you chime in on this one because I, for one, am DONE with this storyline.)
Keanu attempts to campaign to Ashley saying that she needs him to help her take out Morgan, who at this point is the frontrunner to win. Keanu also promises Ashley a seat in the Final 2, and according to her interviews, she's considering his deal.
MASTERMIND'S SANCTUM | When the bell strikes, the houseguests all step foot inside the Mastermind's special room for the veto meeting. Morgan decides not to use the power of veto and no one, not a single human in this world, is surprised. With the nominations now set, the Mastermind is ready for his sacrifice and they only have one hour to talk, campaign and strategize. Ashley can either choose to keep Keanu or force Vince to break a tie, which wouldn't be a good look for his game.
Keanu makes an argument to Vince, saying that Vince won't get credit for the move since Morgan won the veto. Keanu uses the only card he has up his sleeve: his jury vote. But the fate of his game lies in the "most untrustworthy person in the west coast." (No lies detected there.)
THE VOTE | ...is public! No hiding in the Diary Room this time. Voters must stab the voodoo doll of the person they wish to evict. Morgan stabs Keanu's doll in the chest, as does Ashley, and with that, he becomes the fifth member of the BB27 jury.
Thoughts on the Final 4? Now that Keanu is out, who are you rooting for? Sound off in the comments!
