I'm your host Taron Armstrong and I am here today to update you on everything that happened yesterday. The Big Brother 27 live feeds it was day 81 in the house. And this is the penultimate update of the season. Only one left after this. Only one left, and then the season will be ending. The finale is tomorrow night. So typically at around this time, there's not a lot to update. Typically we're doing other things, or the update is about five minutes because there's not much more to talk about. That is still not the case this season. You're going to want to listen to this one because there's actually a lot to get into today and a lot that is still up in the air. So we're going to talk about it all. Of course, as you know, we are at the final three. Morgan, Ashley, and Vince. Morgan has won part one of the final three hoh, and that means that they are going to be competing in part two. Now, yesterday I talked about how Vince is the clear favorite for part two, but there's always a chance somebody chokes, and if Ashley wins, it would be very interesting. Now things are pretty interesting, I think, regardless. But we did get into part two today, day 81 on the Big Brother 27 live feeds. And let me just tell you what the experience of. Of. Of what this was like, because the feeds came back from part two of the final three hoh, and they came back to Vince. But usually, I would say most of the time, not all the time. Most of the time, when the feeds come back from a competition, they're usually on the winner. They're usually showing the winner. So feeds come back on to Vince, and you might think, oh, as expected, Vince probably won this. But he doesn't look very happy. Vince doesn't know, often look happy. So, you know, but not only does he not look happy, he's like in the fetal position, hugging his legs, looking very unhappy. And it's at this point that I was like, oh, oh, boy. I'm pooping my pants. Oh, boy. And I'm. I'm already like, I'm writing up the tweet. Oh, oh, oh, my. Ashley won. I haven't posted it yet because I'm not sure. And I'm waiting. I'm just waiting, and I'm just watching Vince look sad. And I'm waiting, and I'm waiting. And then the feed's cut. Half the feeds cut to the kitchen where Ashley is in there on her own, and she's dancing. Ashley. Team Ashley. Let's go, Ashley. Because Ashley beat Vince in part two of the final three hoh and is joining Morgan in part three to see who wins the game, potentially. Ashley dancing to the camera, celebrating her win and immediately tells the cameras as well, I'm just one win away. I win the final three. I win part three of the final three. Hoh. I cut Morgan, I take Vince to the end, and I think I have a shot to win this game. So we are now in a situation where it is potentially all up for grabs in part three of the final three. Hoh. Morgan versus Ashley. If Ashley wins, she cuts Morgan, takes Vince. And you know, we had a jury segment last night, but I think we can mostly agree that she has a good shot at winning or at least a shot at winning. Certainly a better shot at winning than against Morgan. If Morgan wins the final hoh, we would expect her to probably cut Ashley and take Vince to the final two, in which case she very likely wins. Although of course there has been a little bit of back and forth on maybe she would take Vince. Ashley, don't worry, we'll get into it. So, so here it is, Ashley making this a lot more interesting. And Vince still huddling his legs together, very upset. Morgan comes in to talk to him. Vince, Vince, you tried your best. No, it's not enough. It's never enough. My best is not enough. It's never been in my real life either. It's not enough. My best isn't enough. I'm third place now. Vince, you don't know that. You don't know that. Vince. No, I do. Vince. We all mess up. We all mess up. Vince. No, no. Me more than anyone. My brain didn't have the composure to read the stupid instructions again. Vince. So this is what he's talking about. The competition, I believe had, it was one of those, like, run a zip, run over a zipline to other platforms to put things, put numbers on things. One of those things, right? And Vince did have a massive advantage in this. He was is, you know, theoretically physically more capable. We've seen that in physical competitions before with Vince. And so he was apparently at a massive advantage. He had a huge lead in this competition. According to him, it was 20 minutes. Although later he said it was an hour, which was an obvious exaggeration, I would assume. He said he had a 20 minute lead at one point. However, he misread the instructions for how the competition worked. Apparently. Now this is because, first of all, Frankie Grande was hosting the competition. Worth noting. He apparently was like, dude, chill. Like, you have a real life outside of this. Like, like, had to, had to, had to calm Vince down. Also, it was revealed that the mastermind is in fact somebody we know. The mastermind was revealed to be none other than the evil doctor himself, Dr. Will. Dr. Will has been the mastermind all along. Or maybe they just decided to make him the mastermind at some point during the season. Either way, those, those two things happened. Dr. Will and Frankie Grande were there. So apparently this competition was in, I guess, stages because again, he had like a 15 to 20 minute lead, whatever it was, heading into the final stage of the competition, I think at which point they were given instructions during the competition for that stage of the competition. So he misread, he misunderstood what the instructions meant and apparently Ashley did also. They both ended up making the same mistake, however, and the mistake was something he, he complained about it so much. Order. Order, not day. Order. I didn't even think what, what numbers could be. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Order. It was order, not day. So I think that what he's saying is that he was trying to number the events by day, but instead they were asking for the order of events or something along those lines. To be honest, it was not very easy to understand what he was saying. But apparently again, Ashley made the same mistake. The problem is that Ashley eventually realized what the mistake was and corrected it. Meanwhile, Vince crashed out. Apparently, like fully crashed out. He was like, I'm so sorry I embarrassed myself. I yelled at you, Morgan. I. I yelled, people are gonna think I'm such a loser. And like mean person. He was apparently just crashing out, like, I have it right. It's right. And never thought to look at the instructions again. And so he was like, I just stood there. I just stood there yelling and making a fuss instead of looking at the instructions again. So apparently he was just standing there complaining and yelling for, I guess, more than 20 minutes, while Ashley eventually realized what was wrong, fixed it, and won the competition. So we'll see how much of that is on the episode. But what a wild way to finish out a season of competitions for Vinnie. And this is. That isn't just the representation of his gameplay. Exactly. So this is what he's talking about. He's. I. My brain didn't have the composure to read it again. And she's like, it's okay, Vince. It's okay. People make mistakes. It's not okay. It's not okay, Morgan. It's not okay. It's dumb. I just lost a game that I've wanted for so long. You don't know that, Vince. Yes, I do. You don't know that. Yes, I do. I'm pretty self aware. I fail. I fail. I fail, Vince. I can't win the Game. Now everyone hates me. You don't know that, Vince. They made it pretty clear, Vince, that's in the game. It doesn't mean they hate you. It doesn't mean you can't win the game. I can't. How can I now? And this goes on for a while. This is. It goes on for a little while. It eventually stopped because he's called to the diary room. Ashley is upset that he's called to die room because she wanted to go to the diary room because she wanted to change out of the clothes and I assume also like, celebrate in the diary room. But yeah, she said, you don't know that, Vince, so many times. I do. I do. So Morgan then goes and talks to Ashley, and they had what was also, I thought, a very funny conversation because Ashley's like, what is his thing? Like, what is his deal? It took him hours to muster up the courage to go and tell Ashley congratulations on the win. So. And hadn't yet at this point. And she's like, I just don't. Like, I just don't get what's up. And Morgan's like, trying to defend, like, like, it's. He's a super fan. It just means a lot to him. And she's like, I mean, it means a lot to everyone now. Like. Like, did it mean less to Keanu, to. To all these other people? And she's like, yeah, I know. It's just, you know, it's his dream. I know. I know him really well. It's his dream. It's been his dream to be here. And. And Morgan's like. And they start talking about his unemployment status, and Ash is. I think everyone is technically unemployed. Everyone had to quit their jobs to be here. You know, it's not like. You know, it's not like we're not all unemployed to some degree. And. And Morgan's like, oh, he is really unemployed. Like, he's really actually unemployed. And Ashley's trying to make the point that, like, yeah, and he has a degree, though. Like, he. Like, even if he was really unemployed, she still doesn't fully believe. It's not like he doesn't have options in life. And. And. And Morgan's like, nah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And. And so Ashley's like, so. So wait, can you tell me what. What did he do for work before coming here? And Morgan's like, oh, yeah, he. He had a job. Yeah, he. He had like a whole job. Yeah, yeah. But what was it? Yeah, you know, he. He worked for a company, so. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, he Worked for a company. So, like, what was his job at the company? And Morgan's like, oh, man. Got a clean. Really, really did a number on this one, huh? Gotta clean this one. Actually's like, yeah, yeah. So. So anyway, what was his job at the company? Yeah, just. Just. Just cleaning this for a second. It was like, you know, a job at a. At a company. It was a job that. Yeah, so, like, what, like sales? Like, like, what was it? Yeah, it was. It was not. Not sales. It was. Yeah, I. I know what it is. It was. It's. How do I. How do I explain this? How do I explain this? Like, customer service? It's funny to me because if you recall, I. I covered this conversation on the live feed update, and. And I explained it in the same way that Morgan is explaining it because I also couldn't remember exactly what he said. But it's funny because Morgan is trying to. To act like she knows, but she clearly doesn't. I. Because when I. I explained this conversation, I was like. He did like, some sort of, like, customer satisfaction thing. I didn't really, like, whatever, but she's like, no, no, I. I know exactly. I know exactly what it was. It was like a customer. She was like, oh, so sales. Something. Something like that. He's. He only delivered packages at one point. He delivered packages to this lot at one point, actually. It was just so funny. It was so funny to me. So they have that conversation, and there's a big lockdown. The feeds go down for a long time, and they come back up, and it's been hours. It's been hours. And the feeds come back up to Vince back in the same spot, hugging his legs again. And they're having the same conversation. Vince, you don't know that. You don't know that. I do know it. I do. I screwed it up. The order. The order, Vince. The order, not the day. Oh, my God. How has it been hours? But it gets worse. It gets worse for Vince because then he starts saying, like, I'm third place. I know it like, are you even taking me anymore? And she goes, yeah, I. I haven't decided yet, Vince. Oh, my God. I just feel like I have a better shot against Ashley. Don't you agree? No. No, I don't agree. What do you mean? Don't say that. And they talk this out a little bit, but the funnier conversations later. So we'll. We'll dive more into that one. But let it be known, she starts to float the idea that she is, in fact those seeds planted by Ashley days ago are still ruminating in Morgan's head. It has not been completely countered by the, you know, small Ashley exposed party that happened the other night. So in the meantime, Morgan talks more with Ashley and, and you'll notice also, by the way, that like Ashley and Vince are not really having conversations. He's not even trying. Vince thinks that Ashley is taking Morgan to the final Two. He fully believes it. He occasionally will be like, well, what if she doesn't? But like, he seems to fully believe that Ashley is taking Morgan to the final to has not worked on Ashley yet, probably because he's trying to work really hard on Morgan first. And also I imagine fears correctly that if he tries to work on Ashley, it lowers his chances of being taken by Morgan also. So the other thing too is that in this discussion about potentially taking Ashley, he still can't muster up the ability to. To talk Ashley's game up his best. His argument against Morgan not taking him to the final two is not, Ashley might beat you. It's not. You're underestimating Ashley. She's actually way smarter than you think. Because remember, this is the man who almost every single day of these 82 days has made sure to at least once point out per day, Ashley doesn't even deserve to be here. So he can't. He can't say that. Even the liar Vince can't muster it up. So instead, the only argument he has is, but you beat both of us, not just her. You also beat me. So please take me and at least give me second place. And that's just not a very compelling argument. You know what I mean? It's just not. It's just not a very compelling argument. But don't worry, we'll get into it more. Morgan talks to Ashley. They have a fun little conversation. There are a bunch of small interactions between Morgan and Ashley that are worth pointing out because Morgan or Ashley is continuing to. To, like, plant seeds and turn on the heat. With the idea of Morgan taking Ashley over Vince, she has. She's coming at it from multiple angles. One of the angles, of course, being I'm an easier beat, which she's already successfully convinced Morgan of. The other being, you owe no loyalty to Vince because of the way that he's lied to you in the past. And then the other one being talking Vince up. He's played a really good game. He has a similar game to Rachel. He had so many people talking him up all season. He had people early on were calling that he was going to win the game. Rachel thought he was a mastermind. He had so many people trusting him, so many people working for him in the game. Doing her best to really talk up Vince. So she's doing that. She's been doing that for days. There's. And. And here's one example. Morgan tells ashley about Zach's 10k power, and instead of just being like, wow, I can't believe he had a 10k power. What? What in the world? Ashley uses this as. As an opportunity to turn some heat up on Vince. How would she use this as an opportunity to. What has nothing to do with Vince. It was Zach. 10K. Morgan. She cried about it. What does it have to do with Vince? Ashley knows. She says, oh, he had a veto that he didn't use. You know, girl, you know the reason he didn't use that because he thought he was so safe. He thought he was so safe that week had nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty about that. And Morgan's like, yeah, you're right. I don't feel guilty about it. She's like, you remember how safe he felt? He was talking about throwing the blockbuster to Vinnie in order to keep Vinnie safe. Remember how much he was trying to keep Vinnie safe. He was gonna throw the blockbuster. That's how good he felt. It had nothing to do with you, girl. So she's doing that in the. Then they have, like, dinner, and they're doing more of the, like, let's talk about the season stuff. And this is where things felt like they were getting a little sketchier because Ashley continues to do what she was doing before, but it does have some downsides. So they're going over the season's events, and they're talking about different people. And Ashley is very clearly, in my mind, trying to get Morgan to feel worse about her own game as well. Like, make Morgan feel paranoid that she doesn't have votes because if Morgan feels less secure, she will feel more like she needs to take Ashley. That's very clearly Ashley's goal. She basically explains it in. In her camera talks. So in this conversation, she's trying to point out to Morgan, like, hey, yeah, man, Kelly. Kelly really didn't even like you, Morgan, that much. Like, she talks about how Kelly didn't like more because, remember, you might not remember. Morgan spent most of the game believing that Kelly loved her, that she had this, like, special relationship with Kelly. And so Ashley's pointing out that Kelly actually said a lot of things about Morgan, called her paranoid, said that she was like, that she didn't like her very much. And. And Morgan's like, what? No, that's not true. And she's like, yeah. I mean, Ava talked about it like it was a whole thing. And, you know, she talks about how Ava was trying to get Morgan out for a while and all of this stuff, and it's just making Morgan feel worse about her own game. And so, on one hand, doing its job, on the other hand, you have to be careful, because after this conversation, she's like, man, Ashley knows a lot of stuff. Ashley has a lot of information that I didn't know about. That's scary. But here's the thing. It did still function the way that Ashley wanted to, because it is making Morgan feel worse about her own chances. And she's then using those arguments against Vince later on when he's trying to convince her to take him. She still believes that Vince is harder to beat than Ashley. So even if Ashley starts coming up on the roster, as long as Morgan's going down and Vince stays above Ashley, she's still in a decent place. So it's. It's very much like it's a balancing act. And there's definitely a fear that if she does too much in information revealing that Morgan didn't know about that the balance might start to shift too much into the direction of, wait, how does Ashley know all of this? However, it doesn't seem like those scales have tipped yet, because now Morgan's just spiraling about being called paranoid. People coming parents. I'm not paranoid. Why would people call me paranoid? I just don't understand. And so she's. She's like, now I don't even know if I can be either one of you now, Vince. Another thing to remember that if she says something like that to Vince, it's just another way of downplaying her own game, potentially as a reason why she needs to evict Vince. But we'll see. There's still a full day of talking, campaigning, etc. So Morgan talks more with Ashley later, and now she's really concerned. She's been really shaken by Ash. I mean, like, Ashley just presses Morgan's buttons sometimes. And Morgan goes to Ashley and she's like, ashley, do you think I had a good social game? Like, can you be real with me? Did I have a good social game? I'm just, you know, I'm hearing about all these people that didn't like me, that I. I didn't know, didn't like me. And Ashley says, no, girl, your social game was good. You just had Vinnie goggles sometimes. And she loves, she loves twisting that Vinnie goggles knife because Morgan loved twisting the Lauren goggles knife. And so the idea that she might have Vinnie goggles in the same way that Vince had Lauren goggles is it perfectly aligns with the way that Morgan thinks. And she latches on to this phrase. She has been latching onto this phrase for a while now. She talks to Vinnie about how she had Vinnie goggles, and he tries to defend himself by saying, no, I had Morgan goggles. And she says, no, Vince, you had Lauren goggles. Ashley also made a point in the dinner to talk about the Adrian flip, how there was that she was told by Ava that there was a flip in the works to save Adrian and Vince was pretending like he had nothing to do with it. So in the same conversation, Ashley says to Morgan and girl, you know, he was part of that Adrian flip, right? And Morgan, of course, is like, oh, oh, yeah, I, I, I'm fully aware. I'm fully aware. I totally understood. I, yeah, I knew that for sure. And Ash is like, yeah, I thought so, because that's why I was laughing during the dinner, because Vince was pretending like he was at the table, like he wasn't a part of it. And this is something that Ashley made sure, you know, all. Obviously, I'm spending a lot of this time explaining some things about Ashley's game, and that's because the show doesn't do it right. I am here to explain to you what I am seeing Ashley do because the show's not showing it and she's doing a lot. She is the person who also talked to Ava and told Ava that she should be revealing the Adrian flip information because she remembered it from all the way back when. Remember when Ava accidentally revealed to Ashley, Ashley got Ava to reveal that there was a flip in the works. She didn't want to, and then Ava crashed out about it afterward. And this is actually one of Ashley's biggest blind spots in the game was how much Ava hated her for a while. But she did manage to get that information out of Ava and then pushed her to to talk about it before she left the game so that she can now use Ava's information, with Ava having already confirmed some of it, to further twist the knife of like, hey, this is another concrete example of a time that Vince was lying to you did not reveal full information and in fact still lying to you to some degree. And once again, this is something that Morgan brings up to Vince later as another reason why she might not want to take him to the end. So a lot of this, like, Ava stuff, the. The Ava prompt. Ashley was coaching her through what to say. Now, granted, I. Ava came up with most of it herself, but she was running lines by Ashley and making sure to. And Ashley was making sure to, like, get certain points in that she knew would help her. And Ava essentially was trying to help Ashley on her way out the door. So lots of interesting stuff there. Ashley then talks to the cameras for a while, and she is talking through her options. She says, I really think if I win this final hoh, I could win the game, which is crazy. I am the true underdog of the season. She says, I'm not gonna stop planting seeds about Vinnie because I need to make sure that if I don't win this. This comp. That I'm at least taken by Morgan. I know Vince is gonna say whatever he needs to. To be taken to the end, but I'm not gonna let him because that's my spot. She says, I. I don't think I can beat Morgan, but if I'm sitting next to her, I can try to argue that I didn't have to win competitions like she did. You know, Morgan lacked foresight. She was too focused on Vinnie. Turning enemies into allies is something I've done multiple times. Vince, who nominated me in week one and then and. And desperately wanted me out, and then halfway through the season, he didn't rename me when he absolutely should have. And by the end of the season, he was actively working to protect me. Keanu is one of them who actively wanted me out, who put me up on his block, and then by the time we hit the final six, he was working with me and protecting me. She doesn't even realize that Ava is also one of those people who hated her at first and by the end of the season, was working to help Ashley on her way out the door. She says, I was able to convince Rachel to keep Morgan around. I propose that we keep Morgan and Vinnie as numbers. Riley and the other side would have had the numbers. Rachel, will and I birthed the judges in order to use the Vinnie and. And Morgan as shields. I also used Rachel as a shield. She talks about all of these things. She runs through some of her speech, and I don't have, like, the whole thing. Let's, like, jot it out because it was over, like, an hour of her just, like, workshopping, but some of the highlights. She says, I was the biggest target week one. I won and kept myself safe, but I knew my work wasn't done for the Next nine weeks, I managed to stay off the block entirely despite being, you know, you thought Kelly was the biggest target. You thought Keanu was the biggest target. I was the biggest target. Week one, I had to save myself, and then I had to get the target off my back and stay off the block for the next nine weeks. She says she tries to argue against the idea that she wasn't targeted just because she wasn't winning competitions, because Morgan also didn't win competitions until day like 54. She was a target before then. She. And they kept Will or, sorry, they kept me over Will despite the fact that Will wasn't winning any competitions. I wasn't a threat because I intentionally lowered my threat level. Coming into this game, I had a strategy. I was going to embody a character that wasn't myself. I knew I had to be somewhere in the middle. So I embodied Elle Woods. She talks about how she's actually an attorney. She says the real reason I wasn't a threat was because most of you didn't think I knew what was going on. Once I got to the final six, I was aligned with basically the entire house. If she. If she's sitting against Vince, she plans to say, I turned my enemies to allies. Vince turned his allies into enemies. Some good stuff. Some good stuff here. Meanwhile, Morgan is talking to Vince about her speech. Vince wants to make a good speech. We don't know what his is. Morgan tried to get it out of him and he didn't really tell her. But she's spending all of her time getting good rest and practicing her speech while Vince and Morgan are hot tub hugging and arguing until like 5 in the morning. So keep that in mind. So Vince and Morgan, as I just said, they are going to spend a lot of time, a lot of time in the hot tub, arguing, making up, arguing again, hugging, arguing. And, you know, it's a whole mess. I think they've got a little bit of alcohol going on, and it's going on for a while. It's going late into the night. She's talking about how she's worried and she. Because she said, vince, I'm worried that I had Vince goggles on. And it's so. It's so wild to me. And this is, again, this is why I'm so vocal about what Ashley's doing, because so many people will say, ashley hasn't done anything. Ashley hasn't done anything. And then you see Ashley create Vince goggles as a concept for Morgan, and. And then Morgan uses that phrase to Vince, Vince, I'm Worried I had Vince goggles on in the, you know, and then that's like, she's clearly doing some things, which is not to take away from all of what Morgan's done, because she's also played a phenomenal game, especially when it comes to how she's managed to manipulate Vince. But, but I think that her game has been a lot more visible. And on top of that, I'm always going to be championing the person who is using the social strategic portion more so than the comp portion. But I genuinely feel like they both are very good winners, and I'd be happy to see either one win. And, and, and, and hear me out on this one, too, because I had a moment. I had a moment last night where I went. It works for me now. I'm good on Vince. Now that there's only one full day left of feeds, I'm like, I'm all in. I'm team Vince. I'm into it. He's entertaining me again. You know, he's always been entertaining, but when I have to listen to him and, and I know that there's another, like, 30 days left, that's a little frustrating. But, man, this guy, he's brought a lot. He's brought a lot to the season. He's brought a lot to the season. I've got Vince goggles. I've got Vince goggles. Listen, it's that it's really, I'm telling you, the sped up endgame just really solves a lot of problems, you know, and it's, it's been, it's been a lot of fun. It's been a lot of fun. It's, it's very much the sort of thing that's like, it's, it's relatively miserable in the middle of it, but once you're, once you finish it, you look back and you're like, you know what? It built character, you know, but. So here we are in the hot tub. Morgan says, vince, I have, I've. I'm worried I had Vince goggles on. Where did that come from? Where did this come from? It came from. Ashley, where did it come from? Because my, my perspective, it's the opposite. She says, well, in the first half, I had, I had Vinnie goggles on, you know, and Vince, people saw that you were trying to flip that Adrian vote, and I was desperate to keep you around. Like, what does that look like to me? For me? What? No, I, I did not go to bat for Adrian once. Not once. Vince, Vince, I, I, People were saying, like, there's a lot of things you don't know about Vince. I don't know if you can trust him. Like they've been saying that for a while. Who's saying that? Like people like Mickey said it and, you know, even Ashley at the time. No, I. I really didn't even care. I was indifferent. Morgan, you don't understand. Do you know how it feels? Do you know how it feels to know my body failed on me yesterday and my mind failed me today? I'm a failure all around. Vince, stop. Oh my God. Vince. I'm just. I mean, at this point, I'm honestly worried. If Ashley wins and takes me, can I still even beat Ashley? I mean, she thinks. She thinks she's second no matter what, but I just. Vince, I want to win so bad. I want to win so bad. Vince. I've put so much work into this and I want second place so bad. I want you to take me. I. I don't know why you give me so much credit. Vince, I give credit where credit is due, okay? I have four HOHs, you have nine. That's more than double. Your social game is far better than mine. Oh, ok. Ok. Is there any world where Kelly votes for me and don't do the Morgan thing. The Morgan thing? Yeah. Where you're way too easy on me and way too hard on yourself? I think she would. No, she votes for you. We're moving on. She votes for you. Moving on. Vince, I know if I win. I know. If I win hoh and I take Ashley, I beat her. That's crazy. Is there? Ok, no. We're moving on. Kelly, is there any way Will votes for me over you? It depends on your speech. Morgan. Morgan, be realistic with me. Is there any world where Will votes for me over you? Yes. No. What are you talking about? Is there any rule. Okay, Is there any rule where Rachel votes for me over you? Yes. That's fucking absurd. Yes. Did you hear what Ashley said? You played a very similar game to Rachel. It doesn't matter. She's. Listen, she's gonna vote for who's played the best game of big brother. Vince. Okay, fine. What about Keanu? When he finds out you were in the alliance? Yes. Oh, but I was only in the alliance because of you. Oh, and you're going to say that in your final speech? You're going to be like, hey, the only reason I was in the alliance is because of Morgan. No, exactly. But they can connect the dots. You're not going to. You're not going to say that. I don't I don't know why you don't believe it. I just gave you five guaranteed votes and you're still not believing it? I single handedly lost the game when I lost that competition. My dumb brain. Vince, your brain is not dumb. Yes it is. That's why I always joke or half joke that I admire Cody so much. You know, he's the perfect definition of calm, cool, collected, handsome. Everything going for him. He's the perfect human being. And you don't think you have anything going for yourself? No, the fuck I have going for me. You think you have nothing? You can sit here and look in the mirror and tell and say to me that you have nothing at all. A decent mustache. What value do I bring to people's lives? You tell me, Vince, because I'm tired of telling you the same shit. What do you think? If you, if you really want to have a fucking talk, let's have a fucking talk. I don't know. I have a good heart. I have good intentions. That's it? That's all you have? That's it. Morgan, I love that you love me and I love that you're a fan of me, but please be realistic. I'm playing for second place. Vince, week two, people thought you were going to win the game and you're sitting in the final three. What does week two matter? Come on, let's have an adult conversation here. Well, just send me home then. Send me home and I'll get third place and I'll live with it for the rest of my life and that'll be fun. That's fine. I'll take some time and we'll be friends. I'm not gonna say I'm never gonna talk to you again. But you're, you're gonna take some time. I mean, yeah, like I'll, I'll take some time to recover, of course. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna not, like, forgive you or ignore you. I'll. I'll deal with it. I'll live because I have to just like Vince. You have to like. What are you talking. You were the week one HOH. How many week one HOHs have made final three? You're tell me, superfan. Only a super fan since season 16. Okay, so since season 16, how many week one HOH has made the final three? Cody. Okay, one. And, and, and Tyler. Tyler wasn't the first HOH. Yes, he was. No, he wasn't. Yes, he won the, the balance beam thing. It's like. Oh, okay, okay, two. Cody and Tyler. Two out of ten? Yeah. Listen, Morgan, I know, I know they're not going to vote for me. I know it. They hate me. Oh, ok. So you have a secret phone in here that you can use to message the jury in order to get their thoughts. I didn't realize that. I mean, I. All I knew was that I was being called a snake in week two. Morgan, Morgan, you're killing me. You're actually killing me. I don't believe that. You believe you lose to me. I don't believe it. I don't think you really even believe it. Wow. You really. You really don't think I believe it. So, okay, Vince, what's your speech? What's your speech against me? You. You think you lose? For sure. What's your speech? Tell me what your speech is. Well, I mean, I don't have one prepared because I only had one prepared if I won. Come on, Vince. I don't know that it's just a game and I had to do what I had to do to win. And, you know, like. But I don't know, it's. But then Morgan did everything anyway, like, clearly not even giving a full or genuine speech. All I know is that, like, from my perspective, I. Here's what I think, Morgan. I think the jury's gonna think that you played an honest game and a loyal game up until you cut me. So I'll just. And. And so that's what they'll say. And then I'll take two months to recover I alone after the season. And then I'll. And then it'll be fine. And she's like. And then she gets into the lore and stuff again. Vince, I know you were planning to. To go to the final two with Lauren, because one, he says, lauren would have brought me to the final. And she's like, I know you were trying to bring Lauren to the end so that Lauren would take you so that you could be in the end with Lauren so that you could win instead of against me. Tell me I'm wrong. I'm reading you like a book right now. Admit it. Never mind. Fine. So they just. They just continue. So then eventually he starts getting into like, oh, I know Morgan's gonna cut me because she secretly hates me and doesn't want me to get second place, but that's fine. He's like, you don't think that, Vinnie. And then they start hugging. And so this, again, this is. This conversation lasts a very long time. They're in the hot tub for most of it. Ashley came out at one point, which was funny. It's just incredible to me how often Morgan is basically quoting Ashley, which has been the case for weeks in this house, that Ashley has always been the one prodding and giving Morgan ammunition. Even all the way back to remember back in Vinnie's second hoh when Morgan and Ashley tag teamed Vince to convince him to not put up Rachel and Ashley literally brought Morgan up or Morgan literally bought Ash, brought Ashley up there and they had a very fun sort of talking over each other thing that they had going on. But then Morgan eventually left so that Ashley. Ashley could explain the numbers and the. And use the M M's to convince him that it was a better play to keep Rachel around. So lots of. Lots of fun stuff going on there. And we are now in a position where it really like Morgan is still Telling Vince, I'm 50 50. I haven't decided. What I will say is as of right now, where things currently stand, I'm getting the same vibe from Morgan that I got from the Lauren week when Vince was hoh where she very clearly wants a thing which is Lauren gone or in this case to bring Ashley to the final two. And. And so she is pushing in that direction, saying I'm 50 50, saying she's not sure. But I think she really wants to cut him. I think she's at that point. I think that she has been convinced. Will she actually do it is another question. She might not go through with it. That is possible. She might be talked out of it. Ashley might push too far. Vince might be able to latch on somewhere. It is certainly possible. But I do think that right now, if. If I had to guess and she had to make the decision right now, I think she would choose to take Ashley to the final two. But she's not making the decision right now and I'm not sure for sure at all that she would. So again, like, we are. We are really coming to it here. There so much left to talk about and analyze. Not only are we getting high drama, but we're also getting like high strategy. Like Ashley really coming in clutch with good strategy to talk about while Morgan and Vinnie provide us with the soap opera. This has got to be one of the most entertaining final threes we've had, like just straight up. So. So stay tuned. We have a full day today of more of this. I imagine we'll see if there's any more work to be done on Vince's end. On Ashley's end, we'll see if Vince ever tries to talk to Ashley to get her to take him. We'll see about all of that. And of course, tomorrow night is the finale of Big Brother 27 where the final part 3 of the final 3 HoH will be played live. And then we will get the jury questioning and, and vote and everything. So you know, that's where we are as the season comes to a close. Of course. Check out my book behind the mirror. You still have time to pre order it. Not much time, especially if you want a signed copy. But make sure you head over to taronarmstrong.com don't forget, don't forget to do it. Another thing to point out as the off season approaches. I have been putting a ton of work into my own Patreon lately. If you search for Taron Armstrong on Patreon, I've been doing some streams there with the episodes. I've been doing a lot of commentary content on other shows. I'm doing some Amazing Race stuff, even going back talking about shows like the Genius, the Devil's Plan, gonna be doing Traders, Survivor, all kinds of fun stuff over there. So if you want to keep up with me in the off season, that's the best place to do it. Tons of stuff to talk about. I'll be talking with you guys. I'll be doing book content, all kinds of stuff. Make sure you come over there and hang out if you want to continue with this stuff. And of course, I'll be back tomorrow morning with the final update of the season. We'll have. I will be streaming for the finale and we will be recapping it all after the fact on the podcast. So we've got that going on and of course potentially some deep dives. What I will say is many of the people in the house are saying things like they don't want to go over the season. Morgan in particular is like, I don't want to know. I think because she knows that there's a lot that Vince did and she doesn't actually want to know, especially right away. So she may or may not have interest in the kind of deep dive that, that we may do that is entirely up her. I would 100% want to respect what people are interested in. So. So we'll see about that. But for whatever deep dives are available or that people want to to do, of course I will be doing them. Although I will be recording the audiobook of for my book about a week after the finale. So, uh, timing will be a little strange, but we'll, you know, we'll stay tuned with all of it either way. Thank you for joining me here this morning. I hope you enjoyed what might be the last, like hour long update of the season. We'll see if there's still a ton to talk about tomorrow, but it's been quite a journey this season and I hope you stick with me for one more day. Thank you so much again for joining me.
