One of the best moments post-nominations was Keanu asking Vince if he's gone a single day in the house without crying or complaining. Then he snapped and said it wouldn't be the worst case scenario for him if Vince left.
Vince's "poor pitiful me" strategy is actually working though. Morgan's ready to throw her entire game away for him, and Keanu has backed off targeting him, even asking people to use the veto on Vince. To be fair, Keanu told Vince all along that he wasn't the real target.
Morgan is the actual target, and nominating Vince was supposed to be a lesson in "don't mess with Keanu." Vince told Ava Pearl he's feeling frail about being on slop as a Have-Not, complete with tears and dramatic suffering.
Let's call Vince's strategy "The Oliver Twist" - he's playing the helpless little orphan in a beanie. "I've got no job, I'm so pathetic, I'm not an alpha male, so I'm no threat. Please keep me all the way to the end and get me another bowl of porridge." And honestly? It's working. Vince may Oliver Twist himself to Final 2.
Some of Vince's lies are finally leaking out. He asked Lauren Domingue to play the veto on him but then told Kelley Jorgensen he never said it. Lauren confirmed to Kelley that it was definitely a lie.
Keanu asked both Lauren and Kelley to play the veto and use it on Vince. But Kelley's Miss Chaos, so she might win it and refuse to use it just to mess with Keanu. Several people also realized Kelley will be in jury, and they're not happy about spending more time with her.
Keanu told Vince and Kelley that Morgan thinks she has the votes to stay and might use the veto on Vince if she wins. Mickey Lee was hoping Rachel Reilly would use the veto on her. Ashley Hollis smelled trouble and wanted to win the veto herself to keep nominations the same.
That's smart because Keanu's got Ashley on his mind as a possible replacement nominee. Morgan blamed Mickey and Rachel for being on the block, but that's not accurate. Keanu wants to steal her showmance partner Vince and needs the other woman out of the way.
In a moment of pure irony, Vince told Mickey he'd be on the block, and she said, "But you're Keanu's ally, is that how we're playing?" This from someone who nominated and evicted her own ally Jimmy! Mickey has some serious functional amnesia about her own gameplay.
The veto player draw was a dream scenario for Vince, who's been acting like a Victorian maiden stricken by consumption, laying in the Have-Not room like it's his sickbed while people wait on him hand and foot.
Kelley and Lauren joined HOH Keanu and nominees Mickey, Vince, and Morgan in the competition. Kelley was cackling about how much joy it gave her when Keanu picked her with houseguest choice instead of Rachel.
Kelley's been retelling hammock-gate again, adding extra lies about Rachel saying "we don't want you here" to Lauren - something that never actually happened. Since Keanu asked both Kelley and Lauren to use the veto on Vince, he strategically picked Kelley.
This gave Vinny the Lip three shots at coming off the block.
Before the competition, Rachel brought Keanu a muffin in the HOH room and warned him that house gossip suggested Vince would come off the block with the veto and she'd be the replacement nominee.
Keanu insisted it won't happen but wanted to know who said it. He decided it must have been Ashley, potentially locking her in as his replacement nominee. Mickey even said she might not use the veto if she won to keep nominations the same.
Mickey's math was solid - she figured there were enough votes to send Vince packing with Cliffton "Will" Williams, Ashley, Rachel, and Ava voting him out. That would leave Lauren and Kelley voting to evict whoever sat next to him, and even if Morgan came down and voted to keep Vince, it wouldn't be enough.
Just before the veto competition, Will suggested cooking up a rumor about Kelley to convince Keanu to put her on the block as a replacement nominee. Will even did a cam talk asking America for a power or vote to get Kelley out.
When Papa Will, who's basically human Xanax, has had enough of someone, you know it's bad. Another live feeder reported seeing Will catch Kelley putting down a plate with food scraps to attract more bugs, saying "have at it ants." Will took the plate away and shook his head while Kelley awkwardly played it off.
The feeds went down around noon and came back up almost three hours later. The competition was indeed the Tiny Veto, with Angela harassing the houseguests while they tried to balance miniature objects.
Kelley lost after talking about getting more coffee before the comp - shaky caffeine hands don't help with tiny balancing acts.
In the end, the golden Power of Veto ended up in Morgan's hands.
In a sane world, Morgan would use the veto on herself and Keanu would nominate Ashley as a replacement. But crazy Morgan is actually talking about using it on Vince!
There's still time for her to change her mind, but at the moment, Morgan says she'll use the veto on Vince. If she goes through with this plan, she'd be throwing away her entire game for a showmance partner whose girlfriend just publicly called him out for crossing boundaries.
This could be one of the most self-destructive veto decisions in Big Brother history. Will Morgan come to her senses, or will she hand Vince safety and potentially seal her own fate? The veto ceremony will tell us everything!
