Vince and Lauren are talking in the HOH room
Lauren is happy she didn't have to pick someone to play, and wants to throw the veto
Vince says if he wins, he has to use it on Morgan
Lauren says Morgan's not happy with her. Ashley was like Morgan has been ranting to me all day about you nd saying you were a vote against me last week and she doesn't trust you're gonna use the veto blah blah blah
she was so emotional yesterday. I thinks he was just venting probably. She's told me she's frustrated, btu the way she was talking with me was she was more frustrated wiht me because I'm picking you and she's all alone. I'm like it'll make sense later but like, right now like.
yeah
it is what it is. But I don't know whether I shoudl thrw it either. I feel so guilty. She has been so good to me in thsi game as have oyu. But I dont' want to make either of your lives more difficult. I just want to make my own decisions get Keanu out of here
They talk about what the competition might be
this is a veto, double eviction it could be mastermind game. By Thursday we're down to six
true veto, another mastermind thing, another true veto
that's three counting today
yeah
so I think Zingbot today, BB Comics probably next time
Remember final four was the days thing
Yeah
Lauren:SO it's gotta be Zingbot BB Comics days
Yeah, in that order probably
Lauren: unless they combine something or switch things around
which is possible
Lauren: and I don't want it to be physical. I wnat it to be physical next week
agreed
Lauren: unless my ass is on the line. Oh my God i"M sick. I din't know what to do. But I also think... I don't know
?? way out of everything
Lauren: To be honest with you I hope AVa wins
Vince: me too. That would be best case scenario. ... that would be perfect. If I did win and didn't use it on Mrogan she would not be friends on me outsid eof this ?? I'd lose a vote. I could throw it, but I Don't want to. The competitor in me wants to do well. But if I Do use it it's tougher for you. But even if it is you could be like Keanu you have to be the renom and you're going to go against WIll and AShley. You're going to win. He's gonna be pissed at me and I go up next week. ON his or Kelley's HOH that's the hard part
He will and he probably won't work ??
no. Not at all. THat's why I'm torn. Maybe I Don't. But I feel bad for Morgan cause she picked me. The hope that I Would try to win. But if I win and I use it on her. I keep her, but Kelley adn Keanu turn on me
Lauren: then you only have one person in your corner
exactly. Wel I have you and her
Lauren: yeah
I need two people next week
Lauren: and odds are if you're up, you might be against one of us
I don't want to be sitting next to any of you
Lauren:it's so tricky
I know. It's the part of the game where like. Sticky's just the ?? I don't know what else ot say. You want to play for people but it's like, it's funny cause when Ava was HOH, she puts up Zach and me who are two of your good friends. And then my last HOH, Ava Kelley Katherine. Three of your good friends. NOw yours, Will and Ashley, two of Ava's godo friends
and Morgan, your good friend
Yeah, my good frien.d We're gonna be doing this in this like everyone is friends and connected to people
Lauren:yeah it's like a hurricane
Vince: yeah. It' slike no matter what. I don't know whether I should gun for it. I ddon't know whether you're gonna gun or whether you should or want to. Morgan's more concerned about it not being used, and she thinsk the only chance is if you win
Lauren: sh'e sno convinced. Wheneve ri talk to her ... and I don't necessarily want it to get back to Keanu if I put him up and he ends up staying that there was thisbig backdoor plan. To be honest with you. I played too hard. I did too much wheneve rI told people. I thought about this master plan but I told my plan straight up but it was really a backup plan
who were you telling?
Lauren: the people that I nominated
oh, got you
I should've been like I hope you win the veto. If you do I hav ea plan.
yeah I'll tell you Sunday
but I didn't. Now they ?? put up Keanu. Ashley, after, she went up to me liek this is perfect. and I was like yes, it is
but don't say anything. Just in case
Lauren: this game is so
I know, my stomach's kind of in knots
Lauren:yeah me too
I wish my closest friends would've been in an alliance with me
right? that's what makes this so difficult
that's what was hard about even being so close to MRogan. She's close with everyone i"m not. I'm close with you and your'e clsoe iwht people I was. I wasn't choosing Morgan on certain decisins. It hought I Was ddoing...
Lauren: I thinka t this point you have to do what's best for your game like truly. Because up to this point you can say that all you want but right now... you know what I mean?
I think of it like if you keep he people you need in the house, every vote counts. You want people who are gonna guaranteed keep you. Byut it doesn't do you any good if you're sitting nex tto them. and if she's in jury, could be a vote for you, but you have to get to that point. A lot can happen in the next five evictions. I don't know. Let's eat something cause it's still early and we can digest a little before the comp, and then see how it plays out and talk tomorrow and tonight. But from your personal opinion, do you want me to not try?
for me I think the best thing would be to...
just toss it. I know. That's so hard
Lauren: I know it's really hard
Vince: It's like best caes. I don't knwo who started this the whatever's meant to be will be. I understand that but I want control of what's going to be
Lauren: guess what, you're not going up this week no matter what, so let it be
I know. ?? best case scenario, but if Morgan wins it for herself, her ?? is handed to us. She's good
and if Ava wins it
then your answer is handed to you
if AShley wins it Will wins it .... but I do want to make it seem liek if someone comes down I'm debating between you and Keanu
I'm cool with that. I already sold that a little yesterday
throws the scent off of us
We've done a great job. My closeness with Morgan has helped us even after you used the veto on me
Lauren: Ugh, I see it
I see it too. We're righ thtere. And now if we're entering these endgame comps, Zingbot and BB comics. It's so hard to stay calm
Lauren: I know it's almost worse that it's so close
is it bad that i Want Kelley adn Keanu gone?
no
you're not gonna say anything rihgt?
no
I just don't thinkw ecan beat them in the end
I think everybody's lookd at everybody
we both beat Ashley we both beat Will. But Keanu being public enemy number one since week two. Kelley being on the block five times since week one? That jsut scares me resume wise. I like them both as people
I Definitely agree with you
Rachel's rooting for him. She said don't let me down when she left. She respects his fight
Lauren: With Kelley I think she's somebody that could go further and then see what happens. I feel like in the jury she's not gonna hav emany people that... she was kind of a ... stir the pot
she doesn't have th social game
Lauren: neither does Keanu. The differece is Keanu took himself down and claims that he took over everyoen's HOH and he could spin it in a way that makes sens3e
that's the frustrating part is he takes credit for things he had nothing to do with
that frustrates me so bad. I wouldn't even be considering him if he wasn't like yeah go up there and talk to her and give her a hug and have a sleepover. What are you doing?
it's the arrogance
It pisses me off. Oh yeah let's have a sleepover, I'm not gonan put you up
he's sending Kelley to go put in work
Lauren: yeah, come on dude. And I'm not stupid you know what I mena? OH yes a sleepover
compelling arguments
Lauren: I don't know. It just makes me angry
me too. That's why Iw as getting irtiatedf. I already knew I was picking you or MOrgna and he kept coming to the wine room. He comes llike hey dude ?? I was two seconds from being like dude get the fuck out of here. ... get your panties out of a bunch. The pushiness. OH Ava was so livid. She said when Rachel phyiscally grabbed her arm and her and Keanu were arguing in front of her, she was like immediately none of them were gonna go first. That's why we played it perfect, we sat on the couch adn siad who's gonna go first
I know Ava. I pulled her like I know how this game works, please pick me first. It worked out perfect. Just as it was supposed to
Vince: Exactly. It really did. I was so happy. I just don't wanna do that risking our own game for a maze is like nerve racking, but fi we have ot do that every week now... that is stresskful
Lauren: yeah
Vince; Then again ?? where's the social game. Does everything we've been building just end just liek that? A quick little maze? Like man. I guess that takes your it's not social it's the
Lauren: I'm scared fo rhtis veto. I don't know
I am too
Lauren: I feel liek if Morgan stays andshe wins HOH she's gunning for me
she wouldn't gun for you but you're definitely on the block. I think she wants Keanu out first. Keanu, Kelley, you. Target, backup, then you. She's frustrated with you but it's still like she understands tha I'm close with you. So that's what i ekep telling her. She keeps worrying she's the target. She doesn't have her eyes set on get MROgan out now
Lauren: well now that she's saying all this stuff. Also it's not my decision anways. I don't vote
it is what it is it's all good. She gets over things quickly. How's your toe today?
It's actually a lot better. I haven't looked at it actuall ybut it feels a lot better
As longa s you can walk around
(Lauren takes off her sock and looks at her toe. Vince comes over to get a closer look)
Vince: You kicked the shit out of that thing
Lauren: Yeah with literally all of my force. ... (sigh)
I feel like we both like feel like we should throw it, but I Don't think either of us want to
(nod)
I think it would be better to see how it plays out
Lauren: also might not be a competition taht we can
Vicne: How so?
Lauren: Like when was...
Vince: Could it be the spinning thing on the ropes?
Lauren: no, that's HOH
Vince; Oh Mogan's coming. She brought a sandwich
Lauren: Okay well, we know. We know
Vince: Yeah
(Morgan knocks on the door and comes in with some food for Morgan, then leaves)
Lauren: Wow
Vince: Is that the Trader Joe's?
Lauren: This is really good. I hope it's not expired
Vicne: If it was frozen. No
Lauren: I don't know if it was. Now I'm scared
Vince: Do you wanna run down and look at the trash can?
Lauren: Yeah
(Lauren leaves to go look at the box, then returns)
Vince: I'm just worried like okay, say you win it. You take Ashley down and ?? Keanu. Then it looks like a backdoor to Kenau and Kelley. You used it intentionally, you put him up. Then are they both coming for you? If I win it, I use it on Morgan, Keanu and Kelley get pissed, again, really double ldown. Say see you're gonna choose her every time. He already tells me I think you're gonna chosoe her over me no matter what. Then they'll gun for me no matter what. But if we have nothing to do with it
Lauren: Then ?? It's gonna be so hard if I do that
Vince: We're down to the wire we gotta do what's best. But the friend in me feels so bad. ON a regular level I Want to compete and win it for her. And then just deal with it. Like if I Don't do it and i play it safe, is that me playing scared?
Lauren: No
Vince: or is that me playing smart?
Lauren: To me it's you playing smart. But ?? Cause i Think that Kelley adn Keanu almost over it but if you do that (shakes head)
Vince: Then I'll be the target, and they migth keep her over me
Lauren: mhm. And then you have Morgan, you have me at a distance, and that's pretty much it. And I don't know how much I can do at a distance. OBviously I'm gonna do whatever
Vince: Right but I know what you mean.
Lauren: people are gonna be liek what the hell are you doing?
Vince: I know. Keanu's coming up here
(Keanu knocks on the door and joins)
Keanu: How's the food?
Lauren: It's so good
Keanu: What's Morgan saying? Wanted to backdoor me?
no she just wants to get off the block
Ke: No shit
Vince: she's freaked because ?? doesn't have the votes. She just wants it used on her. obviously she wants safety
Keanu: What do you think you're gonna do if you win it?
Vince: I don't even think I can win it. I don't ?? I should win it. hat would b tough. I'd lose her vote. She'd be totally heartbroken. So
Keanu: there's a world where. No maybe not. You could say we have hte votes no matter what
Vicne: Right
Lauren: I don't think that's gonna work. After last week
Vince: Then I don't use it and I lie to her
Keanu: That wouldn't be on you. That would be on one of us if we flipped. That's her fault. I'v eproven way more trustwrothy than she has
Vince: It's tough when someone picks you, you almost feel obligated. LIke damn someone's relying on you. but, I don't know. MIght be better just to not do anything. Separate
Keanu: in a perfect world you win it
Lauren: Yeah
Vince; Nobody's had all the power this season yet
Lauren: Yeah. WE'll see
Vince: that's a flex
Keanu: That is a felx. THen htat would be your fourth comp?
Lauren: (nod)
Keanu: I don't know if that's a comp win per se
Lauren: I consdier it a comp win
Keanu: It definitely counts as an HOH win for sure. You competed against three people. Two people
Lauren: Three people really
Keanu: OH yeah that's true. Rachel went
Vince: Such a crazy day
Keanu: Oh yeah that was a wild
Lauren: Insane
Keanu: I wonder what it'll be I hope it's ZIngbot bro
Vince: I hope it is
Lauren: I was doin the math> I think it's three vetos left
Keanu: Three regular. We only have three yeah. And it should be this week. Roasting eight people that's only 16 jokes great. But fucking 12 jokes? Oof
Lauren: Could be BB Comics
Keanu: yeah. But you can kind of do that whenever. Everybody gets a comic anyway
Lauren: That was really good
Vince: but for Comics there has to be at least 6 people competing. There's 8. There's a double, so there's no veto for Thursday to go to 7. That'll bring us to 6. So it has to be today or next week
Keanu: Yeah they're interchangeable. ZIngbot this week BB Comics nexgt week or BB Comics next week ZIngbot this week
Lauren (Burp) I forget we're on TV. That was actually disgusting
Keanu: I didn't think so. THought that was pretty bad ass. The table doesn't even look that much smaller from here
Lauren: I know.
Keanu: It just looks like ??
Lauren: That's very nice
Keanu: well wait til next week. Immediately goes away. Fuck
Lauren: Yeah I'm constantly just having a sick to my stomach feeling. Every time I think about nexgt week and the week after and the week after.
Keanu: We're good though. WE're in a pretty good position
Lauren: I think so too
Vince: That's the ?? part. We're coming down to the wire like holy shit
Lauren:I think I was telling Vinny. You think you're getting closer, and it's even more intense and scary
Keanu: But yeah we're in a really good position because Mickey going and Rachel going, pfft. That gave us like way advatange on the numbers
Vince: that's two less people that would put me up guaranteed
Keanu: counting the numbers like five of us against half of them. Now the one went away. So they don't really have any strong. I don't understand any. I don't underestimate Ava. She has the desire to win
Lauren: Morgan too she just gets flustered. I feel liek AShley if she really wants it
Keanu: Yeah i Feel like she could lock in
Lauren: She won the first veto, that' the only thing she did win
Keanu: Well she admitted to guessing, that's the only thing. But still she had to get a lot of stuff right. There had to be a part of her brain that understood
Vinny: She at least got the random track
Keanu: She said she ?? on the ?? so I think ?? than she's giving herself credit for
Lauren: I just want Hellooooo
Keanu: Waiting for it
VInce: I'll start screaming Wahhh
Lauren: I need to stretch but my foot just went numb
Keanu: I'm not going into any comps anymore without doing some mobility stuff
Vince: I know
Keanu: I feel everybit of 33 now when I move around
Lauren: I think this should be the last competition where people would not be competing in. Unless whoever wins HOH, but even still, last week, you had the ability to win HOH again this week
Keanu: Yeah
Vince; Which if they do that again, maybe you'll have a chance
Lauren: Good. I could. If I don't. If nothing happens on Thursday. I'm so scared of what the hell is gonna happen on Thursday
I fel like they'll do a regular double eviction
Lauren:Why would they call it Mastermind's Month of Mayhem? I think it's gonna be the same format as last week but it's gonna be different
Keanu: I wonder ho wmany more fo those elimination style games they can do
My guess is that one, antoher one this Thursday. And then another one next Thursday
Keanu: Nah they only do one more double. Mathematically speaking with the weeks
Lauren:If two go this week
I think it was not literally a month but more like a month of gameplay
Lauren: I think it's the month of mayhem means every thursday somebody's gonna go becaues of him
Keanu: But doubles until the end? There's not enough people
two go this week, two next week. That'll be the end of month of mayhem. One person goes then it's three people left
Keanu: Wait, say that again. We have three weeks left from this point? End of nexgt week is six. Following week is four. Then a regular week
and then there's three
Kenau: Oh yeah maybe you're right. Two more doubles? Woah
Lauren:I think that might be what happens. I don't know if I like it beter or worse that it's not a traditional double .At leats you get to compete for you life, but you also have to compete for your life
Kenau: In the traditional one, I like that you get to do the veto and all that shit
Lauren: Yeah
Keanu: They're going hard with these fucking blockbusters bro. That maze thing was kind of a blockbsuter too. THey're going hard with the little mini games.
Lauren: I can't even think about it. My toe feel sbetter today
oh good
Lauren: It still kind hurts when I do like this. You did it again (chiomp)
Keanu: Oh did I? I don't even notice when I do that. That's so funny my dog does that all the time, adn I'm like why do you do that? So I do it too. So that's great
you're picking up her mannerisms
Keanu: She loves putting her head on my face, and she's always like grinding her teeth.
Lauren: that's cute
it is. And I can hear her teeth over what I'm watching. I'm like oh my God. Uhh I miss my dog
Lauren: I miss my chickens
Keanu: I want a big hug and a lickin from my puppy
They continue talking about back home
Vince leaves
what are they saying? What are they up to?
nothing. I think everybody's outside
No I mean like Morgan and Vinny
I don't know. I haven't talked much to Mrogan
is he actually thinking baout throwing it?
I don't know
is that what he said or?
Lauren: He's like I'm in a tough spot so, I don't know
Keanu: Yeah. I don'y think eh wants me to go anywhere
Lauren: right
Kenau: OBviously it would be a tough spot if he won it. If he uses it obviously I feel like I"m the renom. Or I would thinkI am. I'm not sure, but... that would be, yeha that would not be good
Lauren: Yeah
Keanu: And then I Feel like if he doesn't win it, and somebody else wins it and takes themselves off, I feel like he's the renom
Lauren: (sigh) I don't know, at this point
one step at a time
Lauren: Yeah I don't want to get too far ahead of myself
Keanu: Well. If he was the renom that wouldn't necessarily be a worst case scenario becaue chances are Morgan's gonna win the Blcokbsuter. Ashley could lock in but I feel like she' sso comfortable in this game
Lauren:I don't know if she is anymore
Keanu: Yeah not right now. But I feel like she still thinks if she was on the block vs MOrgan i think she know sshe's gonna win but what are the chances of Will winning. And if she's against WIll she's definitely going home
Lauren: Yeah Will's not going anywhere in any case
Keanu: So she needs to buckle down
Lauren: Unless he wins veto
Keanu: that'd be great. I'd be so surprised. Or Ava. She'd obviously take him down. Or I don't know. Ava's probably smart enough to know he's not going anywhere, but she probably wouldn't want to take the chance
Lauren: Yeah I feel like she'd probably, but I haven't talked to her in ??
Keanu: Well, VInny goes up, there's no way he goes home no matter who he sits against. I don't think. If he's sitting against Ashley then Morgan would obviously vote for him to stay. Against Mrogan I'm pretty sure they'd vote Morgan to stay. I don't know
Lauren: I don't know. Ugh
Keanu: I feel like yo uprobably had the last easy HOH in terms of the initial noms. AFter this one that's it. People are gonna have to start getting thrown up there
Lauren: Yeah. My stomach hurts. It's kinda nervous
Keanu: Damn I wish I would've got a chanc eto play bro
Lauren: I know
chances are so slim and of course it didn't happen
Lauren: At least you get to host
Oh yeah. I'm definitely glad about that. Unless it's Zingbot. Then I just get to hand the ?? over. Yay you got it
or BB Comics. You won't have to say anything
That sucks I won't even be able to watch that. ... THey let everyone see their comics afterwards right?
Lauren:I don't know. It may not be until after
I can't remember if they let us see or not. That would suck
that would suck. You'r egonna be like wow yours was this
and they're gonna give the worst description ever cause they're gonna be focused on all the other
Lauren: Yeah
Keanu: Dang. Oh well. I put my money on you winning anyway
Lauren: I hope so. You never know though. I'm always pessimistic when it comes to stuff liek that. When it comes to me because I"m like
why? Nah dude you're a beast. ANd the prospect of getting compelte power for the week and nobody's done that yet, that' s ahuge motivator
Lauren: Yeah. I'm thinking for AVa's HOH, when it was you, Vinny,a dn Zach. I think every single person would think one of yall was gonna take yourselves off, but it was chance
I would say it was skill
Lauren: yeah it wasn't chance
Keanu: I mad e abad call. I don' tknow why I was going for a number that was just neough instead of the blood. I slid over, and owuld've lasnded in the blood if I just aimed for it. A tthe end of the day I'm glad I got where I got because I got that butler punishment
Lauren:I know. No one else oculd've done taht but you
Keanu: taht was a good punishment for me for sure. Got creative. Those crescent roll cracker things were so good
Lauren: They were very good
Keanu: the little piggies of the house are hungry
the little piggies of the house are hungry
Keanu: then the veto of the following week was the Hogfather and little stinky
I"m really glad I won that won
yeah that was cool. I wish i would've got a chance to compete in that one. You would think today would be one of those iconic ones. Not just a random one. Watch we're gonna see him fucking walking across right there. "Helloooo"
I think he's gonna come up here
Keanu: They'r eprobably gonna call you to the DR, so you're downstairs. Ah bro, final seven after this week bro
crazy
Final six I guess, fi they're gonna do the
(sigh) Yeah
Kenau: That's fucking wild to think of. THat math you did, that's true though. FInal six after this week
then four
Keanu: then a regular week
Lauren: Then final three
Kenau: that math does make sense. Rahcel told me at the end they do shortened weeks. They'll have a full week of gameplay in four days, or three days. FI they keep doing the double elimination, they don't have to do that. That makes more sense. That's how the math checks out. Iw as lik wait that doesn't work, but you're right. That's crazy. Double elimination until the end basically. For the next two weeks? ahh. But if it's the same format, that means we're gonna play aminigame first for someone to guarantee safety. And those eliminatino games are gonnag et crazy when there's not that many people left. Oh my GOd dude. Oh that is so scary
Lauren: Yeah it's really scary (sings) It's really scary
Keanu: You know what' spretty unique about that too? the people that are not that good at comps are probably not gonna be here at final four
Lauren: Final three HOH is gon abe intense
Keanu: Yeah it's gonna be all people whoa re decent at competitions. You would think. I would think elimination style doesn't favor people like WIll. I guess it depends on what the elimination style is. It could be a booth with true/false questions
Lauren: I think it's gonna be a combination of social and game. That's kind of what last week was. IF you had a goo neough social game you didn't get picked at all. But if your'e confident in your ability to win, you can risk it. I think it's gonna be something similar but different.
Keanu: yeah. BUt I think toward the end I don't thinkt he social game's gonna matter. At least four peopel went in the hamster wheel thing. Four people went and that means after next week, everyone's gonna compete in the last one
Lauren: It might be a thing of what we thought was gonna happen with Ava. WHoever wins, you get to choose tow people who face off, or two people that are safe, or something liek that
Keanu: that's true
Lauren: Then it would again be a combinatino of socila and game. IF you have a good enough social game to get picked, you know? Something like that
Keanu: Yeah. That would make sense. Geez. WElp that's not freaky
Lauren: Yeah I'm not you know abotu to throw up
Keanu: (laugh) Goodness. (sigh) Damn. Alrigh twell it's probabyl liek 11-ish
Lauren: yeah I might go outside to get some fresh air, because I really haven't been outside
Keanu: Yeah you need to, it's actually nice outside. You want me to throw this away?
Lauren: Uh thank you
(Keanu leaves)
Lauren is happy she didn't have to pick someone to play, and wants to throw the veto
Vince says if he wins, he has to use it on Morgan
Lauren says Morgan's not happy with her. Ashley was like Morgan has been ranting to me all day about you nd saying you were a vote against me last week and she doesn't trust you're gonna use the veto blah blah blah
she was so emotional yesterday. I thinks he was just venting probably. She's told me she's frustrated, btu the way she was talking with me was she was more frustrated wiht me because I'm picking you and she's all alone. I'm like it'll make sense later but like, right now like.
yeah
it is what it is. But I don't know whether I shoudl thrw it either. I feel so guilty. She has been so good to me in thsi game as have oyu. But I dont' want to make either of your lives more difficult. I just want to make my own decisions get Keanu out of here
They talk about what the competition might be
this is a veto, double eviction it could be mastermind game. By Thursday we're down to six
true veto, another mastermind thing, another true veto
that's three counting today
yeah
so I think Zingbot today, BB Comics probably next time
Remember final four was the days thing
Yeah
Lauren:SO it's gotta be Zingbot BB Comics days
Yeah, in that order probably
Lauren: unless they combine something or switch things around
which is possible
Lauren: and I don't want it to be physical. I wnat it to be physical next week
agreed
Lauren: unless my ass is on the line. Oh my God i"M sick. I din't know what to do. But I also think... I don't know
?? way out of everything
Lauren: To be honest with you I hope AVa wins
Vince: me too. That would be best case scenario. ... that would be perfect. If I did win and didn't use it on Mrogan she would not be friends on me outsid eof this ?? I'd lose a vote. I could throw it, but I Don't want to. The competitor in me wants to do well. But if I Do use it it's tougher for you. But even if it is you could be like Keanu you have to be the renom and you're going to go against WIll and AShley. You're going to win. He's gonna be pissed at me and I go up next week. ON his or Kelley's HOH that's the hard part
He will and he probably won't work ??
no. Not at all. THat's why I'm torn. Maybe I Don't. But I feel bad for Morgan cause she picked me. The hope that I Would try to win. But if I win and I use it on her. I keep her, but Kelley adn Keanu turn on me
Lauren: then you only have one person in your corner
exactly. Wel I have you and her
Lauren: yeah
I need two people next week
Lauren: and odds are if you're up, you might be against one of us
I don't want to be sitting next to any of you
Lauren:it's so tricky
I know. It's the part of the game where like. Sticky's just the ?? I don't know what else ot say. You want to play for people but it's like, it's funny cause when Ava was HOH, she puts up Zach and me who are two of your good friends. And then my last HOH, Ava Kelley Katherine. Three of your good friends. NOw yours, Will and Ashley, two of Ava's godo friends
and Morgan, your good friend
Yeah, my good frien.d We're gonna be doing this in this like everyone is friends and connected to people
Lauren:yeah it's like a hurricane
Vince: yeah. It' slike no matter what. I don't know whether I should gun for it. I ddon't know whether you're gonna gun or whether you should or want to. Morgan's more concerned about it not being used, and she thinsk the only chance is if you win
Lauren: sh'e sno convinced. Wheneve ri talk to her ... and I don't necessarily want it to get back to Keanu if I put him up and he ends up staying that there was thisbig backdoor plan. To be honest with you. I played too hard. I did too much wheneve rI told people. I thought about this master plan but I told my plan straight up but it was really a backup plan
who were you telling?
Lauren: the people that I nominated
oh, got you
I should've been like I hope you win the veto. If you do I hav ea plan.
yeah I'll tell you Sunday
but I didn't. Now they ?? put up Keanu. Ashley, after, she went up to me liek this is perfect. and I was like yes, it is
but don't say anything. Just in case
Lauren: this game is so
I know, my stomach's kind of in knots
Lauren:yeah me too
I wish my closest friends would've been in an alliance with me
right? that's what makes this so difficult
that's what was hard about even being so close to MRogan. She's close with everyone i"m not. I'm close with you and your'e clsoe iwht people I was. I wasn't choosing Morgan on certain decisins. It hought I Was ddoing...
Lauren: I thinka t this point you have to do what's best for your game like truly. Because up to this point you can say that all you want but right now... you know what I mean?
I think of it like if you keep he people you need in the house, every vote counts. You want people who are gonna guaranteed keep you. Byut it doesn't do you any good if you're sitting nex tto them. and if she's in jury, could be a vote for you, but you have to get to that point. A lot can happen in the next five evictions. I don't know. Let's eat something cause it's still early and we can digest a little before the comp, and then see how it plays out and talk tomorrow and tonight. But from your personal opinion, do you want me to not try?
for me I think the best thing would be to...
just toss it. I know. That's so hard
Lauren: I know it's really hard
Vince: It's like best caes. I don't knwo who started this the whatever's meant to be will be. I understand that but I want control of what's going to be
Lauren: guess what, you're not going up this week no matter what, so let it be
I know. ?? best case scenario, but if Morgan wins it for herself, her ?? is handed to us. She's good
and if Ava wins it
then your answer is handed to you
if AShley wins it Will wins it .... but I do want to make it seem liek if someone comes down I'm debating between you and Keanu
I'm cool with that. I already sold that a little yesterday
throws the scent off of us
We've done a great job. My closeness with Morgan has helped us even after you used the veto on me
Lauren: Ugh, I see it
I see it too. We're righ thtere. And now if we're entering these endgame comps, Zingbot and BB comics. It's so hard to stay calm
Lauren: I know it's almost worse that it's so close
is it bad that i Want Kelley adn Keanu gone?
no
you're not gonna say anything rihgt?
no
I just don't thinkw ecan beat them in the end
I think everybody's lookd at everybody
we both beat Ashley we both beat Will. But Keanu being public enemy number one since week two. Kelley being on the block five times since week one? That jsut scares me resume wise. I like them both as people
I Definitely agree with you
Rachel's rooting for him. She said don't let me down when she left. She respects his fight
Lauren: With Kelley I think she's somebody that could go further and then see what happens. I feel like in the jury she's not gonna hav emany people that... she was kind of a ... stir the pot
she doesn't have th social game
Lauren: neither does Keanu. The differece is Keanu took himself down and claims that he took over everyoen's HOH and he could spin it in a way that makes sens3e
that's the frustrating part is he takes credit for things he had nothing to do with
that frustrates me so bad. I wouldn't even be considering him if he wasn't like yeah go up there and talk to her and give her a hug and have a sleepover. What are you doing?
it's the arrogance
It pisses me off. Oh yeah let's have a sleepover, I'm not gonan put you up
he's sending Kelley to go put in work
Lauren: yeah, come on dude. And I'm not stupid you know what I mena? OH yes a sleepover
compelling arguments
Lauren: I don't know. It just makes me angry
me too. That's why Iw as getting irtiatedf. I already knew I was picking you or MOrgna and he kept coming to the wine room. He comes llike hey dude ?? I was two seconds from being like dude get the fuck out of here. ... get your panties out of a bunch. The pushiness. OH Ava was so livid. She said when Rachel phyiscally grabbed her arm and her and Keanu were arguing in front of her, she was like immediately none of them were gonna go first. That's why we played it perfect, we sat on the couch adn siad who's gonna go first
I know Ava. I pulled her like I know how this game works, please pick me first. It worked out perfect. Just as it was supposed to
Vince: Exactly. It really did. I was so happy. I just don't wanna do that risking our own game for a maze is like nerve racking, but fi we have ot do that every week now... that is stresskful
Lauren: yeah
Vince; Then again ?? where's the social game. Does everything we've been building just end just liek that? A quick little maze? Like man. I guess that takes your it's not social it's the
Lauren: I'm scared fo rhtis veto. I don't know
I am too
Lauren: I feel liek if Morgan stays andshe wins HOH she's gunning for me
she wouldn't gun for you but you're definitely on the block. I think she wants Keanu out first. Keanu, Kelley, you. Target, backup, then you. She's frustrated with you but it's still like she understands tha I'm close with you. So that's what i ekep telling her. She keeps worrying she's the target. She doesn't have her eyes set on get MROgan out now
Lauren: well now that she's saying all this stuff. Also it's not my decision anways. I don't vote
it is what it is it's all good. She gets over things quickly. How's your toe today?
It's actually a lot better. I haven't looked at it actuall ybut it feels a lot better
As longa s you can walk around
(Lauren takes off her sock and looks at her toe. Vince comes over to get a closer look)
Vince: You kicked the shit out of that thing
Lauren: Yeah with literally all of my force. ... (sigh)
I feel like we both like feel like we should throw it, but I Don't think either of us want to
(nod)
I think it would be better to see how it plays out
Lauren: also might not be a competition taht we can
Vicne: How so?
Lauren: Like when was...
Vince: Could it be the spinning thing on the ropes?
Lauren: no, that's HOH
Vince; Oh Mogan's coming. She brought a sandwich
Lauren: Okay well, we know. We know
Vince: Yeah
(Morgan knocks on the door and comes in with some food for Morgan, then leaves)
Lauren: Wow
Vince: Is that the Trader Joe's?
Lauren: This is really good. I hope it's not expired
Vicne: If it was frozen. No
Lauren: I don't know if it was. Now I'm scared
Vince: Do you wanna run down and look at the trash can?
Lauren: Yeah
(Lauren leaves to go look at the box, then returns)
Vince: I'm just worried like okay, say you win it. You take Ashley down and ?? Keanu. Then it looks like a backdoor to Kenau and Kelley. You used it intentionally, you put him up. Then are they both coming for you? If I win it, I use it on Morgan, Keanu and Kelley get pissed, again, really double ldown. Say see you're gonna choose her every time. He already tells me I think you're gonna chosoe her over me no matter what. Then they'll gun for me no matter what. But if we have nothing to do with it
Lauren: Then ?? It's gonna be so hard if I do that
Vince: We're down to the wire we gotta do what's best. But the friend in me feels so bad. ON a regular level I Want to compete and win it for her. And then just deal with it. Like if I Don't do it and i play it safe, is that me playing scared?
Lauren: No
Vince: or is that me playing smart?
Lauren: To me it's you playing smart. But ?? Cause i Think that Kelley adn Keanu almost over it but if you do that (shakes head)
Vince: Then I'll be the target, and they migth keep her over me
Lauren: mhm. And then you have Morgan, you have me at a distance, and that's pretty much it. And I don't know how much I can do at a distance. OBviously I'm gonna do whatever
Vince: Right but I know what you mean.
Lauren: people are gonna be liek what the hell are you doing?
Vince: I know. Keanu's coming up here
(Keanu knocks on the door and joins)
Keanu: How's the food?
Lauren: It's so good
Keanu: What's Morgan saying? Wanted to backdoor me?
no she just wants to get off the block
Ke: No shit
Vince: she's freaked because ?? doesn't have the votes. She just wants it used on her. obviously she wants safety
Keanu: What do you think you're gonna do if you win it?
Vince: I don't even think I can win it. I don't ?? I should win it. hat would b tough. I'd lose her vote. She'd be totally heartbroken. So
Keanu: there's a world where. No maybe not. You could say we have hte votes no matter what
Vicne: Right
Lauren: I don't think that's gonna work. After last week
Vince: Then I don't use it and I lie to her
Keanu: That wouldn't be on you. That would be on one of us if we flipped. That's her fault. I'v eproven way more trustwrothy than she has
Vince: It's tough when someone picks you, you almost feel obligated. LIke damn someone's relying on you. but, I don't know. MIght be better just to not do anything. Separate
Keanu: in a perfect world you win it
Lauren: Yeah
Vince; Nobody's had all the power this season yet
Lauren: Yeah. WE'll see
Vince: that's a flex
Keanu: That is a felx. THen htat would be your fourth comp?
Lauren: (nod)
Keanu: I don't know if that's a comp win per se
Lauren: I consdier it a comp win
Keanu: It definitely counts as an HOH win for sure. You competed against three people. Two people
Lauren: Three people really
Keanu: OH yeah that's true. Rachel went
Vince: Such a crazy day
Keanu: Oh yeah that was a wild
Lauren: Insane
Keanu: I wonder what it'll be I hope it's ZIngbot bro
Vince: I hope it is
Lauren: I was doin the math> I think it's three vetos left
Keanu: Three regular. We only have three yeah. And it should be this week. Roasting eight people that's only 16 jokes great. But fucking 12 jokes? Oof
Lauren: Could be BB Comics
Keanu: yeah. But you can kind of do that whenever. Everybody gets a comic anyway
Lauren: That was really good
Vince: but for Comics there has to be at least 6 people competing. There's 8. There's a double, so there's no veto for Thursday to go to 7. That'll bring us to 6. So it has to be today or next week
Keanu: Yeah they're interchangeable. ZIngbot this week BB Comics nexgt week or BB Comics next week ZIngbot this week
Lauren (Burp) I forget we're on TV. That was actually disgusting
Keanu: I didn't think so. THought that was pretty bad ass. The table doesn't even look that much smaller from here
Lauren: I know.
Keanu: It just looks like ??
Lauren: That's very nice
Keanu: well wait til next week. Immediately goes away. Fuck
Lauren: Yeah I'm constantly just having a sick to my stomach feeling. Every time I think about nexgt week and the week after and the week after.
Keanu: We're good though. WE're in a pretty good position
Lauren: I think so too
Vince: That's the ?? part. We're coming down to the wire like holy shit
Lauren:I think I was telling Vinny. You think you're getting closer, and it's even more intense and scary
Keanu: But yeah we're in a really good position because Mickey going and Rachel going, pfft. That gave us like way advatange on the numbers
Vince: that's two less people that would put me up guaranteed
Keanu: counting the numbers like five of us against half of them. Now the one went away. So they don't really have any strong. I don't understand any. I don't underestimate Ava. She has the desire to win
Lauren: Morgan too she just gets flustered. I feel liek AShley if she really wants it
Keanu: Yeah i Feel like she could lock in
Lauren: She won the first veto, that' the only thing she did win
Keanu: Well she admitted to guessing, that's the only thing. But still she had to get a lot of stuff right. There had to be a part of her brain that understood
Vinny: She at least got the random track
Keanu: She said she ?? on the ?? so I think ?? than she's giving herself credit for
Lauren: I just want Hellooooo
Keanu: Waiting for it
VInce: I'll start screaming Wahhh
Lauren: I need to stretch but my foot just went numb
Keanu: I'm not going into any comps anymore without doing some mobility stuff
Vince: I know
Keanu: I feel everybit of 33 now when I move around
Lauren: I think this should be the last competition where people would not be competing in. Unless whoever wins HOH, but even still, last week, you had the ability to win HOH again this week
Keanu: Yeah
Vince; Which if they do that again, maybe you'll have a chance
Lauren: Good. I could. If I don't. If nothing happens on Thursday. I'm so scared of what the hell is gonna happen on Thursday
I fel like they'll do a regular double eviction
Lauren:Why would they call it Mastermind's Month of Mayhem? I think it's gonna be the same format as last week but it's gonna be different
Keanu: I wonder ho wmany more fo those elimination style games they can do
My guess is that one, antoher one this Thursday. And then another one next Thursday
Keanu: Nah they only do one more double. Mathematically speaking with the weeks
Lauren:If two go this week
I think it was not literally a month but more like a month of gameplay
Lauren: I think it's the month of mayhem means every thursday somebody's gonna go becaues of him
Keanu: But doubles until the end? There's not enough people
two go this week, two next week. That'll be the end of month of mayhem. One person goes then it's three people left
Keanu: Wait, say that again. We have three weeks left from this point? End of nexgt week is six. Following week is four. Then a regular week
and then there's three
Kenau: Oh yeah maybe you're right. Two more doubles? Woah
Lauren:I think that might be what happens. I don't know if I like it beter or worse that it's not a traditional double .At leats you get to compete for you life, but you also have to compete for your life
Kenau: In the traditional one, I like that you get to do the veto and all that shit
Lauren: Yeah
Keanu: They're going hard with these fucking blockbusters bro. That maze thing was kind of a blockbsuter too. THey're going hard with the little mini games.
Lauren: I can't even think about it. My toe feel sbetter today
oh good
Lauren: It still kind hurts when I do like this. You did it again (chiomp)
Keanu: Oh did I? I don't even notice when I do that. That's so funny my dog does that all the time, adn I'm like why do you do that? So I do it too. So that's great
you're picking up her mannerisms
Keanu: She loves putting her head on my face, and she's always like grinding her teeth.
Lauren: that's cute
it is. And I can hear her teeth over what I'm watching. I'm like oh my God. Uhh I miss my dog
Lauren: I miss my chickens
Keanu: I want a big hug and a lickin from my puppy
They continue talking about back home
Vince leaves
what are they saying? What are they up to?
nothing. I think everybody's outside
No I mean like Morgan and Vinny
I don't know. I haven't talked much to Mrogan
is he actually thinking baout throwing it?
I don't know
is that what he said or?
Lauren: He's like I'm in a tough spot so, I don't know
Keanu: Yeah. I don'y think eh wants me to go anywhere
Lauren: right
Kenau: OBviously it would be a tough spot if he won it. If he uses it obviously I feel like I"m the renom. Or I would thinkI am. I'm not sure, but... that would be, yeha that would not be good
Lauren: Yeah
Keanu: And then I Feel like if he doesn't win it, and somebody else wins it and takes themselves off, I feel like he's the renom
Lauren: (sigh) I don't know, at this point
one step at a time
Lauren: Yeah I don't want to get too far ahead of myself
Keanu: Well. If he was the renom that wouldn't necessarily be a worst case scenario becaue chances are Morgan's gonna win the Blcokbsuter. Ashley could lock in but I feel like she' sso comfortable in this game
Lauren:I don't know if she is anymore
Keanu: Yeah not right now. But I feel like she still thinks if she was on the block vs MOrgan i think she know sshe's gonna win but what are the chances of Will winning. And if she's against WIll she's definitely going home
Lauren: Yeah Will's not going anywhere in any case
Keanu: So she needs to buckle down
Lauren: Unless he wins veto
Keanu: that'd be great. I'd be so surprised. Or Ava. She'd obviously take him down. Or I don't know. Ava's probably smart enough to know he's not going anywhere, but she probably wouldn't want to take the chance
Lauren: Yeah I feel like she'd probably, but I haven't talked to her in ??
Keanu: Well, VInny goes up, there's no way he goes home no matter who he sits against. I don't think. If he's sitting against Ashley then Morgan would obviously vote for him to stay. Against Mrogan I'm pretty sure they'd vote Morgan to stay. I don't know
Lauren: I don't know. Ugh
Keanu: I feel like yo uprobably had the last easy HOH in terms of the initial noms. AFter this one that's it. People are gonna have to start getting thrown up there
Lauren: Yeah. My stomach hurts. It's kinda nervous
Keanu: Damn I wish I would've got a chanc eto play bro
Lauren: I know
chances are so slim and of course it didn't happen
Lauren: At least you get to host
Oh yeah. I'm definitely glad about that. Unless it's Zingbot. Then I just get to hand the ?? over. Yay you got it
or BB Comics. You won't have to say anything
That sucks I won't even be able to watch that. ... THey let everyone see their comics afterwards right?
Lauren:I don't know. It may not be until after
I can't remember if they let us see or not. That would suck
that would suck. You'r egonna be like wow yours was this
and they're gonna give the worst description ever cause they're gonna be focused on all the other
Lauren: Yeah
Keanu: Dang. Oh well. I put my money on you winning anyway
Lauren: I hope so. You never know though. I'm always pessimistic when it comes to stuff liek that. When it comes to me because I"m like
why? Nah dude you're a beast. ANd the prospect of getting compelte power for the week and nobody's done that yet, that' s ahuge motivator
Lauren: Yeah. I'm thinking for AVa's HOH, when it was you, Vinny,a dn Zach. I think every single person would think one of yall was gonna take yourselves off, but it was chance
I would say it was skill
Lauren: yeah it wasn't chance
Keanu: I mad e abad call. I don' tknow why I was going for a number that was just neough instead of the blood. I slid over, and owuld've lasnded in the blood if I just aimed for it. A tthe end of the day I'm glad I got where I got because I got that butler punishment
Lauren:I know. No one else oculd've done taht but you
Keanu: taht was a good punishment for me for sure. Got creative. Those crescent roll cracker things were so good
Lauren: They were very good
Keanu: the little piggies of the house are hungry
the little piggies of the house are hungry
Keanu: then the veto of the following week was the Hogfather and little stinky
I"m really glad I won that won
yeah that was cool. I wish i would've got a chance to compete in that one. You would think today would be one of those iconic ones. Not just a random one. Watch we're gonna see him fucking walking across right there. "Helloooo"
I think he's gonna come up here
Keanu: They'r eprobably gonna call you to the DR, so you're downstairs. Ah bro, final seven after this week bro
crazy
Final six I guess, fi they're gonna do the
(sigh) Yeah
Kenau: That's fucking wild to think of. THat math you did, that's true though. FInal six after this week
then four
Keanu: then a regular week
Lauren: Then final three
Kenau: that math does make sense. Rahcel told me at the end they do shortened weeks. They'll have a full week of gameplay in four days, or three days. FI they keep doing the double elimination, they don't have to do that. That makes more sense. That's how the math checks out. Iw as lik wait that doesn't work, but you're right. That's crazy. Double elimination until the end basically. For the next two weeks? ahh. But if it's the same format, that means we're gonna play aminigame first for someone to guarantee safety. And those eliminatino games are gonnag et crazy when there's not that many people left. Oh my GOd dude. Oh that is so scary
Lauren: Yeah it's really scary (sings) It's really scary
Keanu: You know what' spretty unique about that too? the people that are not that good at comps are probably not gonna be here at final four
Lauren: Final three HOH is gon abe intense
Keanu: Yeah it's gonna be all people whoa re decent at competitions. You would think. I would think elimination style doesn't favor people like WIll. I guess it depends on what the elimination style is. It could be a booth with true/false questions
Lauren: I think it's gonna be a combination of social and game. That's kind of what last week was. IF you had a goo neough social game you didn't get picked at all. But if your'e confident in your ability to win, you can risk it. I think it's gonna be something similar but different.
Keanu: yeah. BUt I think toward the end I don't thinkt he social game's gonna matter. At least four peopel went in the hamster wheel thing. Four people went and that means after next week, everyone's gonna compete in the last one
Lauren: It might be a thing of what we thought was gonna happen with Ava. WHoever wins, you get to choose tow people who face off, or two people that are safe, or something liek that
Keanu: that's true
Lauren: Then it would again be a combinatino of socila and game. IF you have a good enough social game to get picked, you know? Something like that
Keanu: Yeah. That would make sense. Geez. WElp that's not freaky
Lauren: Yeah I'm not you know abotu to throw up
Keanu: (laugh) Goodness. (sigh) Damn. Alrigh twell it's probabyl liek 11-ish
Lauren: yeah I might go outside to get some fresh air, because I really haven't been outside
Keanu: Yeah you need to, it's actually nice outside. You want me to throw this away?
Lauren: Uh thank you
(Keanu leaves)
