Big Brother Recap: Rachel's HOH Sends [Spoiler] Packing
We know she's not even on the block, but can somebody please save Katherine?!
Wednesday's Big Brother sure was something. Rylie was portrayed as a sweet victim of a stalled showmance, but we feedsters know without question that that is not the case. Katherine's family has reached out to production, and BB alumni have been speaking out against Rylie's gaslighting and mistreatment of Katherine all over the internet. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, please hit a subreddit or something, because we haven't seen the show work this hard on an image rehab since BB21's Jackson Michie. (The receipts are out there, people, and the live feeds don't lie!)
Alas, it's Thursday and you know what that means: Another houseguest was evicted from Hotel Mysteré! Did Rylie walk out the door, or were chatty Cathys Mickey and Morgan finally split up? Let's break it all down.
THE STRATEGY | Emotions are riding high after Rachel nominates Rylie for eviction. While Katherine approaches Lauren in tears in the storage room (sigh), Vince can't even remember making a Final 2 with Kelley! Pretty soon, he'll have a Final 2 with every single houseguest in there, and frankly, we're here for it. Say what you want about Vince, but homie is hustling! However, all of his promises are starting to contradict each other. Will he be able to keep them all in check, or will he eventually trip himself up? Either way, we are fully seated.
Mickey, meanwhile, is still using M&Ms to try and convince people to keep her around. Morgan sees this and it makes her quite suspicious. Mickey then makes mention of how much time Ashley has been spending up in the HOH room, which irks Ashley to no end. But after Ashley and Morgan compare notes, Mickey's "little comments" might wind up sending her out the door. After bonding over Mickey's mistakes, Morgan, Ashley, Rachel, Will and Vince form a new alliance, "The Judges," because sure. That's what everyone needs in this game: another alliance!
THE BB BLOCKBUSTER | In "Settle the Score," players roll a ball down a lane in order to land the highest score. They have two minutes to lock in their best roll and the person with the highest score earns new life in the game. Right away, Riley scores a 29, but instead of locking in, he smartly watches the women and waits it out. Morgan and Riley both end up locking in a score of 29, but a potential tie is a non-issue because Mickey nabs a 38. And in true Big Brother fashion, the show doesn't even show us Mickey's game-winning roll. SMH.
THE VOTE | Is this what the kids mean when they say, "WE WON!!"? Rylie is evicted by a vote of 5-4. (Lauren, Katherine, Kelley and Keanu all voted for him to stay.) And thus, Rachel Reilly, a woman who found her husband inside the BB house, has become a showmance slayer.
Now it's your turn BB fans! Did the right person go home? Shout it all out in the comments.
