I wanted max chaos. I wanted Zach to use his power, AND someone else win and use the veto. To make the little munchkin have to put up 2 replacement noms.

In the end, the most compelling part of the episode was what Morgan would do. I was really disappointed that Julie didnt talk about that in the interview with Zach afterwards. Why the hell not?

I chose not to watch the extra episodes of these has beens talking about big brother. Now they are forcing them on us and I hate it.

I didnt need a 90 minute episode of filler. I just want the HOH competition.

I hope this isnt going to be a regular thing. I hate this.

Glad Vince won this week. Hes going to keep it interesting.

I just want Mickey and Rachel out. I dont like either of them and theyre really good.

A lot of people are too afraid to go after them. Vine is too afraid not to. I love it.

It’s gotten better but still too many people playing scared and floating. I’m glad Rachel forced the issue and actually took out a target

Yeah. I didnt mind her week. I just havent really liked her since the beginning.

My wife was reading something about Riley being like a psycho stage 4 clinger and other houseguests being concerned about that Catherine in that relationship.

Probably a good thing he is gone.

Since very early on I thought the 3 most likely to win were Keanu, Vince, and Mickey.

Mickey has been too outwardly self centered though so that might bite her this week. And at this point, I dont like her.

Ill be glad to see one of her or Rachel gone this week if Vince can execute the plan.

That episode was torture. Vince was one of my very early favorites to win. Now he looks like a scared dummy. Really annoyed by his wasted week.

It was pretty funny how much of a **** Rachel was though

Yeah it was. Shes been doing that stuff.

Im also annoyed by how stupid Morgan is for not thinking it was the right time to vote her out. When it gets down to the nitty gritty and Rachel is still there, good luck. She just knows how to play the game so much better than everyone else.

I also hate how it didnt seem like Vince talked to everyone. He nominated someone who would have been a number for him to get Rachel out. Because.... apparently he didnt even speak to her. She was all about getting Rachel out.

This is by far the worst season I can remember.....I haven't seen one actual move, everyone is just wussies and terrified to do anything. Vince at the end of the show, at the end of the day I didn't put Rachel up because "keep your enemies closer" just reeked of wusification. Lauren is the only one worth looking at and she totally wimped out during her HOH getting bullied. Rachel is the only one doing anything and she is just flat our disgusting.....a 2 with an IQ of 20 that thinks she's a 10 with an IQ of 200.

Early predictions to win were Vince, Keanu, and Rachel although I couldnt stand her.

Loved the last 2 weeks with Mickey and Rachel both going home.

A lot of people in the house still have really done nothing. With Rachel and Mickey gone it'll force/allow those other people to play. Lauren already suddenly getting to make her own moves as HOH.

Still feel Vinny and Keanu are head and shoulders above everyone else.

Keanu was a marked man from almost the very beginning and is just too dominant to get out. Kinda like Tucker from last season, but at the same time has been slightly more graceful in his approach. Most of the time. Im afraid of the backdoor this week.

Vince played such a great? social game in the beginning that he had friendships and deals with everyone in the house. At this point in the show, he basically can not do anything without upsetting someone. He usually is in a no win situation these days, but continues making moves, and continues to stay alive, and finds ways to keep his girl's alive as well. He is carrying Morgan and Lauren who haven't really done anything yet.

Lots of people were mad that Rachel went home without being evicted. She asked to play that comp and wouldn’t have passed with the full time, so I have no problem with it. She’s a very good manipulator, which I dislike about her. She can do something to someone, but if they do it back, they’re labeled as a bully. Been rooting for Keanu since early on.

I'm team Keanu. Vince is dumb for not taking the shot when he had a chance. If anyone besides Keanu wins, they don't deserve it.

Agree. Keanu is my favorite. Yet another veto win when he probably needed it. I suspect itd have been easy to flip the house to take out Keanu that week if/when he finally didnt get himself off the block.

Hes basically had no friends all season and has survived on pure dominance all season.

I was so nervous the quick play of the double eviction might take him out. But he survived and now I just dont know if he is going to lose at this point.

I do think he has Rachel's vote in jury and I also think she is going to bully a lot of people in to agreeing with her.

I do still think that while Vince has often looked dumb, you have to say that he really did find a way to always keep his 2 chicks in the game. 2 crazy broads who were both constantly mad at him while all he did was keep them alive. Hes still my #2. Hes been a bit annoying and certainly dumb. But I still admire how even though he keeps having people upset at him, he had been succeeding at keeping himself AND 2 other peoples games alive. Lauren finally got caught up in the double eviction. Thats mostly just tough luck.

Morgan is dumb, and hasnt done a thing.

Ava hasnt done a thing.

Ashley is annoying, and hasnt done a thing.

Only Vince and Keanu deserve to be there, and Keanu deserves to win.

In the end I would have gone Morgan over Vince for the win. With Morgan out, Vince is the clearly deserving winner but unfortunately I think him being between a rock and a hard place each HOH made him burn too many people and theyre all loving Ashley right now. She has done nothing. Nothing. And she is speaking so very annoyingly.

Keanu was my vote for America's player. He should have won the whole thing. Deserved that money he won. Also, kinda felt bad for him. Seemed loyal as hell and yet all season he could never get a true ally. Happy for him to see the audience liked him even if the house didn't.

I said the same thin, she was annoying as hell and didn't do anything the whole game except win the final HOH. Vince's problem was that he did whatever Morgan wanted him to, it was more like her HOH than his.

Ashley answered the final questions way better than Vince and have a better speech too. Being a lawyer helped her.

It probably wouldn't have mattered in the end but Vince should have went full heel and basically say "yea, I lied and manipulated you all. I played both sides and that's why I'm here and you're there." Instead he kept trying to be a weasel and just came off weak.

Yeah. She was annoying in her delivery. But she had it planned, and rehearsed and at least along with being annoying it sounded confident and almost convincing.

Vince was right in that he gave himself numerous paths to the end. In doing so, he repeatedly had to choose which of his allies he would upset, and which he would keep happy along the way. He got a ton of blood on his hands with his strategy, and still avoided having a big target on his back. In a way, brilliant game play. For almost all the season I felt like it was good enough to win. The fatal flaw was that his strategy doomed his jury management. Those people didnt respect the game he played after her burned them all numerous times. They were happy to eat up the annoying speech Ashley gave about how her doing nothing at all was the greatest thing ever.
