Now streaming on Disney + Meet the New Avengers.

Taryn Armstrong (2:23)

That's cool, man. Marvel Studios Thunderbolts the new Avengers rated PG13 now streaming on. You guessed it Disney. Every morning, Darin Armstrong talks Big Brother. Looking at the stuff from yesterday. All the drama, all the strategy and silliness from Phoenix to Hoh every single season. You know, he is the reason you. You know what's happening. Rob said that he could do it tomorrow. He will do it again. Hello, everyone, and good morning. Welcome to our live feed update for September 18th. I'm your host, John Armstrong, and I'm here today to update you on everything that happened yesterday. Big Brother 27 live feeds. It was day 72 in the house and the drama continues and the vote continues to ebb and flow and there's just. There's so much to get to. So we'll get right into it. With me to get into it, it's Maggie. How you doing, Maggie?

Morgan (3:50)

Hi, Taryn. This is crazy. This is crazy. You know, honestly, obviously after Rachel left and it was, it is and remains a complete travesty that that happened to her, I thought this would slow to a screeching halt. However, we have two people in this house who I do genuinely think are the most angst ridden house guests we've had in a very long time. And I'm sorry that they have been messing with your sleep schedule. But guys, at least it's still kind of fun.

Taryn Armstrong (4:35)

It is very ridiculous the. The current situation and as I said, plenty to get into today. So is. Is the audio good? I'm hearing. I'm seeing some things in the chat about the audio. Let me know if the audio is good. But basically this is where things were, of course. Vince, the HOH with currently Keanu, Lauren and Kelly on the block. And this was after being forced to put Lauren up and. And having gotten a promise from Morgan that she will not flip on him and take out Lauren. And. And that was where things stood. But, but of course, what happened yesterday is that Ashley had started to think maybe I actually want to take out Keanu after what he's been.

Morgan (5:41)

No, no, no, Taryn. What happened yesterday is Keanu spoke.

Taryn Armstrong (5:46)

Oh, yeah.

Morgan (5:47)

And like, that's like, yes, Ashley changed her mind. But like, Keanu actually tried to assert his opinion with somebody who was not Rachel, who has an affinity for him.

Taryn Armstrong (6:02)

Yes. And. And like the other part of that too is that like in the room with Ashley and Vinnie, he's like turning to Vince, being like, she doesn't get it. Like, be more clear. I really pissed Ashley off. And. And she was actively campaigning to get Keanu out last night, the night before, and was actually making some progress with Morgan until some heel clicks happened with Vince and Lauren. And Morgan watched them on the HOH camera and said, what the fuck am I watching? And then decided she wanted to push pretty Hard in the direction of getting Lauren out that night. They stayed up late as per usual, and that's where. Where we left off.

Morgan (6:56)

Sure. I think. And you know, we can talk about this throughout the episode, but like I've been saying for the whole season, Morgan is so good at getting what she wants. And like, what she wants sometimes is to further her position in Big Brother, but most of the time what she wants is attention from men in the house. And this specifically, I think sort of encapsulated to me, like, what she wants. Like, like she. What she wants is so emotionally driven. Like, I think Morgan is one of the most emotional players that we've had in a very long time. However, I think when you say emotional, that kind of like gives the idea that she's crying all the time and that she's whining all the time, which is Vince. But Morgan lets her decision making be driven by the way she is currently feeling. And she. I think she really thinks that she is in the best position in the Big Brother house when she feels the most secure. And that actually is not true at all. Because what her makes her feel the most secure is being doted on and adored by the men that she wants attention from.

Taryn Armstrong (8:20)

I mean, the thing. The thing I I 100 would give to Morgan is that she approaches the game with the idea that if she's going to lose, she wants it to be on her terms. I think that, like, even though her terms are not always good for her game terms, I appreciate that mentality because, you know, it. She really just fights for everything and.

Morgan (8:50)

She wants what she wants. Like she is. I don't want it to like, because Morgan is in theory good at Big Brother because she is so self interested. It just is. Like, is the self interest actually what's going to make her win Big Brother or if is it going to give her, like, late night, I don't know, obsession from Vince.

Taryn Armstrong (9:15)

So we have an eventful morning, an eventful day, an eventful night, so we're gonna try to get through some of it. That Ashley stuff. A lot of people were kind of thinking, slash hoping that she would come back around to wanting Keanu in. She did talk to Keanu in the morning, and despite having another terrible pitch, she did talk to him and then Kelly and came to the conclusion after talking to both of them, that she can't take Keanu out yet. Not because they made good pitches, but because it became clear to her, especially after talking to Kelly, that the three of Kelly, Lauren and Ava really are in a Final three. The way that Kelly was so desperate to protect Lauren and. And Ava, and the way that Ava's been pitching for her to keep Kelly around and Lauren. And so she's concerned about that and really wants to make sure that she breaks the three of them up if possible. She wants to pull AV closer to her. And I think she's come to the conclusion that taking Lauren out makes the most amount of sense. Now, in the meantime, Keanu is, like, running to Kelly after she talks to Ashley. He's like, I was trying to get. I was trying to talk to you. Before you could talk to her, I was going to tell you what to say. What? What? I hope you said the right things. Kelly, what did you say? And she's like, I. I just said that I was gonna put you up. And he was like, oh, good, that's what I wanted. And she's like, yeah, that's what we talked about before. Oh, right. So we did talk. So I did tell you what to say. Okay. And so now what's funny is, of course, that Kelly's telling the truth. She is going to put up Keanu. She is going to vote Keanu out. But Keanu thinks that she's lying to other people, saying that because Keanu always accepts, like, the sort of, like, convenient truth over the. Or, sorry, convenient lie over the inconvenient truth. And so that's the whole situation. But the point of it is that Ashley is now back on board, maybe, like, now firmly on board to take out Lauren.

Morgan (11:25)

He is such an anomaly in this. I. I think that you're right when you've said that Keanu is a evicted week one, two, three player who has somehow made it. Because I'm like, how is this still happening? Like, how is this. And it's because he never should have made it this far. Like, this is. We do, actually, because I was like, we've never had a player like them. We have. It's just. They never make it this far, ever.

Taryn Armstrong (11:53)

Yeah, it's. Yeah. And usually players also learn over time. But he hasn't learned. I was gonna say hasn't been able to learn because he's always on the outs anyway. But that's not even true. He has learned many times and yet hasn't actually learned.

Morgan (12:11)

He has been able to learn. He literally had Rachel mentoring him.

Taryn Armstrong (12:14)

That's. That's. Yeah. So with Ashley back on board, she is now in the mindset of wanting to. To. To. To take out Lauren. And so she goes upstairs and she's talking to Morgan and, and then they're talking to Vince and they're talking about potentially taking out Lauren. And Ashley is making a lot of points about Lauren and how the three of Lauren, Ava and Kelly are clearly together. She talked to Kelly. She feels like that's the truth. She thinks that Kelly might go after Keanu and that's useful for them. And, and all of this is leading her to the conclusion that maybe. I know you don't want to hear it, Vinnie, but I don't know, maybe she needs to go. And Morgan is like, yes, yes, yes. And Vince in this conversation is like, yeah, it might make some sense, you know? You know, it's like talking. He's. He's very open, especially when Ashley is around to this idea. And with the two of Morgan and Laura and Ashley like, pitching at once, he's kind of like pushing this direction. One of the main points, of course, is that. And this is the same thing that had been happening before. If you recall, Vince constantly tripping over himself, thinking he was doing something real good the other night by guilt tripping Morgan when she was at her lowest and telling her that now, now Lauren's gonna put me up and it's all your fault. And so, of course, now that is the main talking point in using that against Vince and Lauren to say, Laura needs to go if she's going to put you up, Vince, she needs to go. And Ashley is. Is on that point as well. So.

Morgan (14:02)

And do you. Sorry, Taryn. Do you think that she will put Vince up?

Taryn Armstrong (14:09)

I mean, I. It's. It just depends on how the week shakes out at this point. I mean, I think. I do think that with Ashley and Morgan pushing so hard to get her to leave, there's a chance she leaves him off the block. But I, you know, I think she. In a double eviction, I think there's a chance she wouldn't put him up in a regular week. I think that she probably.

Morgan (14:33)

Really. Yeah, I kind of see if, like, Keanu goes home this week and Lauren wins that double, I kind of see Vinnie and Morgan on the block.

Taryn Armstrong (14:43)

I think that Lauren doesn't have her in. Have it in her to. If he breaks the tie to evict Keanu, immediately turn around and put him on the block despite saying she wouldn't. However, if, again, like, if she had more time, I think that, like, Ava would talk to her, Kelly would talk to her, and they'd be like, you can't let Vince take Morgan off the block and force one of us off on the block. Like, because if she thinks it through, obviously, that's a terrible outcome. And so she wouldn't want to do that. But in the heat of the moment, I'm not sure that she would, especially because she can't even really think about it because she's focused on trying to survive right now. Okay, but we'll see. We'll see, as Morgan says.

Morgan (15:25)

So we'll know this time tomorrow.

Taryn Armstrong (15:29)

I hope so. With Vince being pushed in this direction, he thinks, okay, so the main argument is that Lauren is going to put me on the block next to Morgan. Therefore, I need to get Lauren to stop saying that she will do that. So Vince talks to Lauren and he tells her, okay, Lauren, you need to talk to Morgan and Ashley and tell them that you're not gonna put me on the block, that you're not mad at me that way. That's the only way. Okay, you need to tell them that. And she's like, okay, but you're not gonna get rid of Kelly, right? No, of course not. He fully plans to get rid of Kelly. No, of course not. I would never do that, because our entire thing depends on you keeping Kelly over Keanu. And now this is the thing. If Vince breaks a tie to get rid of Kelly against Keanu, then I do think he will go on the block in a double eviction, and he does plan to do that.

Morgan (16:28)

Do you think he goes on the block against Morgan or she puts him up against Keanu?

Taryn Armstrong (16:33)

That's a good question. But I would assume Morgan. I mean, I guess with Keanu there, there's a chance she puts up Keanu, too. But, like, I don't know. I don't know. Again, it's. It's gonna be a hectic, so.

Morgan (16:46)

Yeah, no kidding. Okay.

Taryn Armstrong (16:51)

So she continues to try to get Kelly to stay. She's basically threatening him with their relationship if he doesn't keep Kelly, which he doesn't plan to do. But the point is that he tells her to tell Ashley and Morgan that she's not going to put him on the block. He thinks that if she does that, he can then use the argument of she's not putting me on the block, therefore, she needs to. We'll see how this goes. Yeah, Lauren talks to Morgan and then Ashley, and she basically does what he says. You know, it's. I. I forgive him for what happened. I think that it's fine. And I actually love Vinnie, and I. I would not want to put him on the block. And. And she's, for the record, not actually promising anything, as per usual, but she and so because she's not promising anything, she needs to talk like this in these sort of, like, almost hyperbolic terms to avoid actually saying the promise so that it seems like she's saying that she. Like, I. I wouldn't want to do that. I wouldn't want to put Vinnie on the block. And, like, oh, well, would you. Like, like, oh, and Kelly, like, you know, she has done some things, and I'm not sure, you know, she could be an option. And so she's talking to Morgan. She talks to Ashley. Similar conversations, of course, Ashley a bit more pointed in the questions. And. And, you know, she. She drops those seats. And now Vince is hoping he can use that argument in favor of keeping Lauren. But. But all of it comes to a head when Morgan sort of is talking to Vinnie again and later in the day, and he's all. He's already whining about the decision again. And she's whipped out the M M's, and she's trying to talk to him about why she thinks that Vince should probably leave. And he's. Why did I hurt my game? Why did. Why did this even have to happen at all? And she's saying that he can't get rid of Keanu. That. She said. She. This is why the M and Ms. Are out, that Keanu staying in the game is vital to her survival. She says this because if Keanu is gone, she is now the biggest target, and she will have to win every single week to survive. And he's like, that's not true. What if. What if you win? What if I win? What if you can't compete, Vinnie? But what if Ashley wins? Like, and so on and so forth. And so.

Morgan (19:28)

Doesn'T Morgan know that, like, Keanu will put her on the block?

Taryn Armstrong (19:33)

That's. He keeps telling her that Keanu's gonna put us both up. Keanu was gonna put you up. Well, that's what I have to deal with, Vince. But so will Lauren. And the difference is. Sorry. Sorry, Morgan. Sorry, Vinny. I. I didn't realize that you didn't understand the difference between Keanu and Lauren, because Keanu has nobody, and Lauren has everybody. Nobody wants Lauren out. Everybody wants Keanu out. Do you understand the difference, Vinny? Do you understand the difference? Sorry. That was her.

Okay, give it a try. @mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment of $45 for three month plan.

Morgan (23:05)

$15 per month equivalent required. New customer offer first three months only. Then full price plan options available. Taxes and fees extra. See mintmobile.com fighting. Taryn. The fighting. Now look, the fighting, the making up, the hugs, the. You know, it is exhausting. Okay, I. This is my personal opinion. My opinion does not reflect the views of Taron Armstrong. But I personally think that if they just had the go ahead to cuddle and kiss and make up, the fighting would no longer be happening. I think because there is a lot of frustration with one another outside of game. There's a lot of physical tension and physical frustration. That's why we get these late night fights that go on to nothing. Because if they were able to be in a traditional relationship where when you fight like that you kiss and make up, that would be what they would do.

Taryn Armstrong (24:18)

I think Vinnie would melt. That would be the end of it would just be. Morgan would just get what she wanted even.

Morgan (24:26)

Of course. But I'm just saying like all of the tension that is there, like you know how there's a reason that there's the saying, why don't you two just go kiss and make up? Because you do kiss and make up when you can kiss each other and also other things. So.

Taryn Armstrong (24:45)

So they start getting heated as they do and Morgan just keeps getting rid of Keanu. Fucks my game. Vinnie, can we just. Can we just agree to get rid of Kelly? Over Keanu? Yes. No, over. Over Lauren too. I don't know, Vince. I don't know.

Morgan (25:09)

They do yell at each other like they are raising their voices at one another and it is. I. I don't like it.

Taryn Armstrong (25:19)

I knew this week was gonna go this way. Fucking knew it. The point that I'm at right now is that I want Lauren to stay no matter what. Lauren wins, we send Kelly home. And if she doesn't. If she doesn't and Keanu wins, we send Kelly home. And if she doesn't. I'm saying if Lauren goes home, then what, Vince? Then I'm. I don't really know what to say right now, to be honest with you. You're so blinded by your relationship with her that you can't see the resume move. Yeah, but sitting next to her, in the end, we all still beat her. Wow. They keep going on for a while. She has to leave. Well, what are you going to do, Vince? You're going to you're going to break a tie and keep her. I think. I don't know. Maybe we just need to both do what's best for our games. Okay, fine. Maybe that is what we both have to do. And she leaves and come and she goes to the. The. The boxing gym and she's just like sitting there and then she stands up and briskly walks back into the room and she says. I don't know if this is a good idea anymore, Vince. What do you mean? Like it's. I think we should. I don't know, I just think we should get. I'm talking about this. What do you mean? What do you mean? What? Are you smiling? No, I'm not. I'm not laughing, Vince. No, that's not what I'm just telling you. She's not putting me up. I'm willing to bet money on it. I'm not willing to bet $750,000 on it, Vince. Well, great then. Successful HOH for you. Congratulations. Wow, that's fucked up, Vince. That's a fucked up comment. You forced me to make a choice. You forced me. Vince. You decided to do what was best for your game. Okay? The fact that you're willing to risk alliance members for Lauren makes me sick. You literally said it's bigger than the game now. You gave me no choice. I either lose you in real life or I lose you in the game. That was fucked up. I'm sorry. You're not going to sway me on this one, okay, I'm sorry. I'm gonna go. I can't with these comments. What? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Morgan, why? Morgan, Morgan, I'm telling you, I'm not going up on Maloran's block. And I love that for you. And she le.

Morgan (28:06)

Yeah, Morgan, she. Like I said, she knows what to how to get what she wants. She. She knows what she's doing. Those nines in the stock watch, they were appropriate, I think but Vinnie is like overall just sort of arrested development. Really shines through here with his wine like. And, and that's the thing, right? Like the show pitched him as like he's this 34 year old unemployed loser who lives in his mom's basement. And like I don't necessarily always appreciate that. Sort of like you know, archetypal whatever. But honestly with Vinnie I feel like it's kind of like too broad. I'm like, you know, like the whining is it makes your ears bleed. And Taryn, you're Vinnie impression. There's a reason Everybody loves it because of how accurate it is. And, like, it is just. He sounds like he's talking to his mom who just took away his PlayStation. Like, for real. For real.

Taryn Armstrong (29:22)

Yeah. I mean, and I think this is why there were people that, like, mistakenly believed that Vince was like, a mastermind because he was always lying and always being manipulative, but, like, not, I guess, recognizing maybe because they weren't watching the feeds very closely, that, like, he's manipulative and always lying in the way that a child is.

Morgan (29:46)

Yes, like a.

Taryn Armstrong (29:47)

Yes, like a misbehaving child.

Morgan (29:49)

I used to care for children for a living. And, like, these are the exact meltdowns we would have after swim practice when they got out all of their emotion. Like, when they got out all of their energy and they were completely exhausted, which Vince is. They've been not sleeping literally at all. It's it the ick level that I. Because people in the chat are being like, Morgan isn't into him like that. Like, I don't know about that. I'm staying out of that conversation. But I do think perhaps if she is not as into him like that anymore, it's because of all of this ick. This. This screaming, yelling, whining, like, stomping of feet that's going on. It's wild.

Taryn Armstrong (30:36)

And you can tell that, like, he's. Again, because, like, nothing about what he does is ever genuine. Like, you can tell he's just trying different tactics all the time and including Morgan's own. So, like, he tries play tough. Like, nothing you're gonna say is. Is gonna sway me here. And then instantly, the second it doesn't work, she stands up and starts, what? No, no. Why? And he's. He's back to begging and pleading. And then when she stays, he's like, I'm trying to tell you that she's not. And then she leaves again. And it's just like, it's. It's just the constant. Just trying to find the right angle. And there is no. Like, he just can't get to one. So Ashley or Morgan goes downstairs and talks to Ashley, who has been wanting to talk to her. And Ashley very sort of quickly lets her know about the conversation she had with Lauren. It's pretty similar to the one that. That Lauren had with Morgan, except Ashley lets her know. So, yeah, I talked to Lauren and she said she wasn't. Because Morgan's like, you know, Vince is saying now that Lauren's not coming after me and not going to put me on or not coming after him. And not going to put him on the block next to me. And Ashley says, that is what Lauren told me, but it sounded rehearsed. It sounded scripted. I guarantee you he told her what to say. And it's a very brief conversation, but Morgan goes straight, or not straight. Back up. But she's like, whoa. And. And. And as soon as Morgan left the room with Vinnie, she went down to talk to. More to Ashley, and Vince walked out of the room after a brief moment of having headphones on and looking like he was an emo kid, left the room and called Lauren up. And so he has pulled Lauren into the hoh room, and he's like, what the hell are you telling Ava about being mad at me and saying that you're gonna put me on the block and you're never gonna forgive me? It's. It's causing problems. And Lauren's like, what? I added that line, to be fair.

Morgan (32:52)

I know.

Taryn Armstrong (32:53)

That's why I'm laughing.

Morgan (32:55)

I'm like.

Taryn Armstrong (32:57)

What? I swear on my life, I haven't said. Did you tell that. Didn't you tell them that you weren't coming for me? Yeah, that's what I was. That's. I. What's going on, Vince? And so they're in the middle of this, and they notice on the screen that Morgan's coming up the stairs now. Vince, what do I do? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? Vince, what do I do? Vince, what do I do? What should I be? Is it bad that I'm up here?

Morgan (33:33)

No.

Taryn Armstrong (33:35)

What do I. What do I do? What do I do?

Morgan (33:37)

Oh.

Taryn Armstrong (33:37)

And then she opens the door. Oh. Oh, hi, guys. Oh, sorry. Are you busy? No, no, we were just. No, it's fine. You can just. Oh, no. I mean, I. I can. I can leave if you guys are. No, no, it's. It's. It's. It's fine. Actually, I was just about. Lauren literally runs out of the room.

Morgan (34:02)

These little scaredy cats. It's wild. And it's. Did you talk on the update yesterday about Kelly coming in to the conversation with Morgan events and being like, don't leave the girl waiting.

Taryn Armstrong (34:21)

That was after their argument when Lauren was hearing them argue. Yeah, I don't think I mentioned it on the update, but yes, it did happen.

Morgan (34:28)

It is. I do think it is, like, kind of important to know because, like, Lauren was crying, and Morgan and Vince, this was when they were, like, yelling through the bathroom, and she was like, don't close the door on me. Kelly opened the door, just swung it Open and said, come on, don't leave the girl waiting. And I put on Blue Sky. Say what you want, but they all learn from the best to ever do it. Rachel Riley. Kelly, you can act like Rachel Riley did not influence you, but that's a Rachel Riley move if I've ever seen one. And I think, like, there it's the. And everyone was so offended by that. You know, Morgan was like. And Vince was like, oh, no. You know, But I think that that's like Lauren and Vinnie are playing so meek and like, oh, you know, whatever. And I do think with Lauren, she comes by it honestly. But just even the ability to, like, come in and advocate for yourself in that way, like, Kelly had to apologize for it later today, even though personally I think that that's like the most normal big brother thing ever. I. It's just the dichotomy between these playing styles and playing so scared is just wild.

Taryn Armstrong (35:47)

I liked your Vinnie because it sounded like Luigi. Oh, no.

Morgan (35:55)

My Vinnie could never hold a candle to yours. But I. I think that the important thing to lean into when doing the Vinnie impression is how petulant he sounds. Oh, no, don't be mad at me.

Taryn Armstrong (36:16)

So Morgan's. Now as soon as Lauren leaves Vince, I don't feel good about what's happening because she just. She just learned from Ashley, who instantly was able to clock in her conversation with Lauren, that she was given talking points. Talking points by Vince. And now Vince is trying to use those arguments to keep Lauren. It's extremely transparent to Ashley. She told Morgan about it, and Morgan is now like, in especially furious because of the implications of this, the way that he's trying to manipulate through Lauren. I feel like you've got a final deal with her, Vince. I think she thought she was your number one, and you were telling her that you. That she was and that I was actually your number two. I think that's what's been happening. I think you want to take her to the final. What? No, don't say that. That's not true. That's not true. No. And they start arguing now about this, but only briefly because Ashley. This random side thing for Ashley. Ashley rings the doorbell, they open the door. Ashley's like, oh, are you guys having a serious conversation? Oh, no. Okay. Lauren came downstairs and was like, they're having a serious conversation up here. So I'm just trying to give you guys cover. And then she stays there for a few minutes and they're like, we actually are having a serious conversation. It's like, oh, that's Fine, I can leave.

Morgan (37:54)

But also it's like, what is the serious conversation? The same exact points back and forth for like, the thing is with Vinnie and Morgan, like she said a couple weeks ago, there's that clip that went around of her being like, if I don't get two hours of your uninterrupted time, I'm going to freak out. And like now she's gotten about 18 hours of his uninterrupted time a day. But like, when would they be hanging out where they want another person in the room? Like, that is not what the relationship is. They don't, everybody, they don't want another person in the room because every conversation they have is serious because every conversation that they have is riddled with subtext and sexual tension.

Taryn Armstrong (38:51)

It's always very funny when Ashley does join the conversation because Vince is, yeah, he can't use any of the stuff that he normally uses with Morgan and he has to pretend to be more open. And he also keeps like, trying to go to Ashley as a third party because Ashley's very good at playing third party. And then Ashley just says things that are completely aligned with Morgan's arguments. And it's because Morgan's arguments came from Ashley in the first place. And so they end up in a very like, well aligned position against Vince. And it just frustrates him even more. So Ashley says Lauren just pulled Ava. So I don't know what you guys were talking about Vince, but she just ran and grabbed Ava. So I don't know what they're talking about. And so it's like, oh. And so Ashley leaves to go see what they're talking about. And Lauren had just pulled Ava and she's saying Vince is, is saying that, that Morgan doesn't believe I'm not coming after him because, I don't know, like, he's hearing that people are hearing that, that I'm not, that I, that I am still coming after him, that I'm mad at him. And Ava's like, I don't know what's happening, frankly. This is, this is just. These people are crazy. I, these people are cutthroat. I just don't understand what's happening. You shouldn't even be on the block, Lauren. And because the reality is Ava did tell Ashley that Lauren would still go for Vince and, and so she's not going to admit that. And so they have that conversation. Kelly ends up joining them and interrupting and then Ava leaves and, and Ashley pulls Ava into a conversation. She's like, like, hey, what's going on and it was like, I don't know, you know, Lauren is worried about like people are saying things about her going after Vinnie I guess. And Ash is like, yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't understand because I talked to Lauren yesterday and she was saying that she was, wasn't going to forget what Vinny did to her and that like she might put him on the block. And now I talked to her today and she's like totally cool with Vince all of a sudden. Like, why the sudden change of heart? It was like, oh, wow. Yeah. I don't know. I don't get why she, I don't get why she's doing that. Why like Lauren, what are you doing? Yeah, like, and also, you know, no shade, but if you don't want Vinnie out, what good are you to me?

Morgan (41:29)

What Ashley's doing. Ashley's really working. She is working. She's trying to figure out what's best for her. And I do think what's best for Ashley at this point is definitely for Lauren to go especially on a Vinny hoh. But I also think that there are positives to any of the three nominees going for Ashley. So I think it's just going to be like where she wants to take it.

Taryn Armstrong (41:55)

Yeah. So they then continue the conversation a bit talking about the vote. Ashley now using Lauren's flip flopping to, as a, as a reason with Ash, with Ava to vote Lauren out. And, and, and, and Ava is trying to sort of like lightly push against this. But they continue their conversation. Meanwhile, Morgan is still upstairs with Vince, of course, and they're just still. This is like the episode last night. It's like Flash. They're still talking. Can we, can we just start with the fact that if Keanu wins the blockbuster we send Kelly home. Can we just start there? I don't know, Vince. I don't know. It's bad for your game if Kelly stays. Lauren doesn't put us both up. She doesn't. Sorry, I think I read that in the wrong place. No, that was Vinny's voice. She doesn't exactly. I'm not talking about Lauren. No, sorry I messed up my notes here.

Morgan (43:00)

It's okay, Taryn. We forgive you. There's been a lot of dramatic readings of gibberish. Like hot.

Taryn Armstrong (43:08)

I was just telling Morgan that my notes are not well organized today.

Morgan (43:13)

Like, this is the thing though, like, and I really do feel like God bless everybody who's here listening. God bless Taryn for trying to interpret it. Their conversations Are slush. They are slush. They're just arguing to argue at this point. They just want to feel something with each other. Like. Like I said, there is so much sexual tension that is built up that it's coming out in this way. And like, the. The arguments are ridiculous. They don't make any sense. It's like, how did we get here? It's slush, okay?

Taryn Armstrong (43:49)

I didn't mess my notes up. It is just this confusing because it's. Vince is saying it's bad for your game. For your game, Morgan. If Keanu. If Kelly stays because Lauren doesn't put us both up. She says she doesn't. Exactly. And he's like, I'm not. I'm not talk. I'm not talking about. And. And then. And. And she says, I'm not talking about Lauren. He says, then who are you talking about? Kelly. You think Kelly won't put us both up? She won't. Oh, wow. So who do you think Kelly is putting up? Keanu and who. And you? Oh. Oh, so fuck me then. Now you're prioritizing your game over mine. You keep putting me in worse positions. Then don't work with me, Vince. Go run to back to Lauren and do the final two you've always wanted.

Morgan (44:46)

I can't.

Taryn Armstrong (44:46)

If you evict her, if she stays, then go ahead. They continue. So. All right, Vince, you haven't. Let me. Tell me this. You haven't once told Lauren what to say to me and Ashley. No, I haven't told her what to say. I. I mean, I. Maybe I just told her to tell you and Ashley the truth about what she was actually going to do. Oh, my God. Why the fuck would you do that, Vince? Now you've told us that the three of us are working together. No, that's not what I was saying. What else is she going to think? If you're like, oh, go tell Ashley and. And Morgan about this. Why is she going to. Because you guys are the votes now. Vince. Now she knows we're working. Now she really has to go. No, Ashley comes back up and interrupts them again. And she says, wow, I just spent some time talking to Ava. She just spent five minutes trying to convince me to keep Kelly. What's up with that? Clearly they're working together. You know, I felt better about Lauren yesterday, but then today she seemed really shady. It's like, how. I don't know, she just seems super rehearsed. You know, yesterday she seemed genuine when she was talking about coming after you, but then today she completely switched up and she was like, oh, I love Vinnie. Oh, I would never go against Vinnie. Oh, I love him so much. I just. And it felt really rehearsed. It didn't feel genuine at all. It's like, I know. I. I think she's telling the truth. But then Kelly interrupts them and this portion of the saga takes a temporary pause.

Morgan (46:36)

It is just so annoying. Like, it is. Just like I said, it's slush. Like, it is just like Morgan. Although, look, gotta give credit where credit's due. Morgan being like, well, no, I want Lauren out because she come after me and I'm keeping Kelly because she'd go after you. Like, that is so baller of her to just say to his face and know that there's gonna be like, no repercussions from him because he's so obsessed with her.

Taryn Armstrong (47:10)

So Kelly talks to Vince. She's. She's in the meantime been trying to console Lauren, saying, I will tell Ava to vote to keep you over me. And Lauren was like, thank you, but I don't think that's enough. So Lauren goes up to talk to Vince and they're talking about Keanu and all of that stuff. And he's now trying to get her to say that she won't target Keanu so that he can go back to Morgan and say, you're wrong. You're wrong. Kelly is. Is not targeting Keanu. She's not putting him on the block. She's putting both of us on the block. So he's trying to get that out of her, and he's trying to lead her into that in so many different ways of, like. Well, you wouldn't necessarily target Keanu, would you? No, I think I would. But you wouldn't want to bring Keanu to the end or anything like his. Or it's you. You wouldn't want to bring other, like, you. Obviously, you don't want to bring Ashley to the end. Like, that's just on principle. Nobody should do that because she doesn't even deserve second place. She's not even playing. And she's like, oh, yeah, you're right. You're right. Yeah, I wouldn't want to do that out of principle. But honestly, I also wouldn't want to bring Keanu out of principle because he sucks at the game so much, so he fails to get anything out of her there. In the meantime, Morgan is talking with Ashley outside of the HOH room, and Ashley is now going into further detail how obvious it is that Vince gave Lauren a script to follow. She. She said, I realized. Morgan, I'm sorry. I realized in my conversation with Lauren today that Vince is not taking you to the final two, that he gave her that script to follow because he's desperate to keep her. He will never vote her out. And he is not bringing you to the final two. He's bringing her to the final two. And Morgan is like, I'm just really. I'm really fucking pissed. I'm really fucking pissed at this.

Morgan (50:28)

Stoke the flames, Ashley. Stoke the flames.

Taryn Armstrong (50:32)

Ashley runs and has a quick chat with Keanu, and she's like, keanu, I'm concerned. Do you think you have Kelly's vote? It's like, yeah, I. I think I have Kelly's vote. I. She's like, I just don't know that we can trust that.

Morgan (50:50)

You just said, sorry, Taryn, when you just said Keanu's like, yeah, I have Kelly's vote. I literally almost said, shut up. Like.

Taryn Armstrong (50:59)

It would be stupid for not to. I just don't, obviously. And she's like, I'm not sure we can trust Kelly's vote. He's like, yeah, that's fair. But Vince is breaking the tie to keep me for sure. She's like, are you. Are you sure? Yeah. He can't afford to lose my jury vote, so he has to keep me. Okay. And she runs back up to talk. And I'm telling. This is like she ran down, talked to him, runs back up. She is all over the place on these feeds. She goes back to Morgan and Ashley says, so Vince is promising Keanu the world. And honestly, I think with some things, Keanu is not lying. Like when Keanu says that Vince is telling him that Vince doesn't plan to go to the end with you. I think that's true. And Morgan's like, I think so too. Ashley says, at this point, I think we need to put Vince on the block next to Lauren or he'll use the veto on her.

Morgan (51:51)

Yeah.

Taryn Armstrong (51:51)

Wow. Yeah, you're right, Ashley. But then they start thinking about it even more. But wait a minute. If Keanu leaves, even if you put Vince on the block next to Lauren, she won't go home because Ava and Kelly will vote to evict Vince. Wait a minute. We can't put anybody on the block next to Lauren and send her home because Vince won't vote her out. There's no scenario where we can take out Lauren next week. If. If Keanu leaves, she's literally guaranteed final five, maybe even final four. We have to send her out this week. It's the only thing we can do. And they're kind of right.

Morgan (52:33)

No, they are. They're completely correct in this. That is, I was waiting for them to come to that conclusion. You know, with all the M&M's that Morgan looks at, I don't know why they didn't recognize that sooner. Do you think this evening, if it is a tie between Lauren and Keanu on the block, that Vince will stand up there and evict Lauren?

Taryn Armstrong (53:00)

Well, after Kelly leaves, he talks to the cameras and he says, I don't know, guys. I think this might have to be a game time decision. Don't know what I'm gonna do.

Morgan (53:18)

It's just. He is so embarrassing.

Taryn Armstrong (53:25)

It's so funny, too, watching him talk to other people and then watching him talk to the cameras, AKA us, and thinking like, of course he thinks that he can just play us the way that he plays other people with his, like, demeanor shift. Like, actually, I'm in control right now. And I'm think I'm actually. I'm in a pretty good position, actually. Yeah, I think I'm in a pretty good position. I mean, this game is hard, but I mean, I'm in a good, good position moving forward. I think. I think, you know, really, either way that I go, I choose one or the other. I think it makes sense for me. I Think I'm not actually dumb.

Morgan (54:01)

Yeah, I agree. Vince, you would have been in a good position if you had renumbed. Ashley, I think you would have been in a pretty dominant position, actually.

Taryn Armstrong (54:13)

So Morgan talks to Keanu, and it's a pretty funny conversation.

Morgan (54:22)

Sorry. Someone. Someone in the comments said diabolical about Vince, and that's just the word I've been using all week. Diabolical. For no reason. For no reason. And I do think when you say diabolical, it, like, gives the idea that somebody's like, ooh, like, sneaky. They're diabolical. But, like, he is a. My mom used this term one time to talk about a guy. Like, he is a scoundrel. Like, he is just, like.

Taryn Armstrong (54:54)

I think even that, like, has a connotation of just, like, more agency. You know what I mean?

Morgan (55:00)

No. I need to come up. I will go through the dictionary and the thesaurus to find, like, the right term to describe Vince. But, like, I really do think, like, sociologically, if this is not the point of this update, but, like, I think that there's such an interesting, like, way for us to talk about, like. Like I said, his arrested development. Like, what's going on? There's even, like, things like him always wearing that beanie. Like. Like him getting out of bed and putting on that beanie. Him straightening the hair under the beanie. Like, there are things that are just like, what's. What is happening here? Like, it's just out of. I have been fascinated by him all season. Fascinated.

Taryn Armstrong (55:54)

Good to hear. I guess. I mean.

Morgan (55:57)

I don't know that he would. I don't know that he would love the way that I like the report I come up with about my sociological sort of understanding events. I don't think he would like it at all. But, you know.

Taryn Armstrong (56:12)

So Morgan talks to Keanu, and she's basically so upset. She's, like, on the verge of trying to rat Vinnie out to Keanu. Not that it would matter, but she basically is in this conversation. She's like, keanu, first of all, I want to keep you. I hope you know that. I know that if you leave. I'm on everyone's block every week, and I'm not here to play Vinnie's game. And I'm not keeping Lauren just because that's better for him. That alone is telling Keanu exactly what's happening right now. He is, of course, completely oblivious to this. She's like, do you have Kelly's vote? Well, she says she's going to keep me if she doesn't I'd honestly be completely surprised. I just. I just feel like Lauren's pitches are being coached. Oh, no, no, Morgan, that's because I'm giving and I'm. You're gonna think this is a fake quote, but it's not. That's because I'm giving really logical pitches, and she's hearing about them and making her points to oppose them. So that's the only reason why it sounds. It's like. No, that's not really what I meant. I just. I think that somebody's telling her. No, it's just because I'm logical. Okay, well, I mean, can we both agree, like, Lauren. Lauren's gonna put Vince on the block, right? Yeah, yeah, of course. She's like, well, Vince doesn't think that. I mean, listen, Vinnie's telling me he's gonna put Vince on the block. Or. Sorry. Vinnie's telling me that Lauren, he's. That he's gonna keep me no matter what. She's like, I just. I don't know, because Lauren feels pretty good about Vinnie keeping her. I don't know. I mean, he promised me he'd lose my jury vote, so she's like, I just. I. If he's willing to send you home knowing how much it impacts my game to save Lauren, then I know he's not good for my game anymore. It's like, I. I mean. Yeah, I mean, Vinnie's told me he doesn't want to take you to the end. Sorry. I mean, I'm. Frankly, I'm the only one with the balls to take you to the end because I'm the only one that has a shot of beating you. You know what I mean? He later tells Kelly Morgan thinks she can beat me, and he goes on to explain that this is going to be the last opportunity to take Lauren out, and he's the only one who has the balls to bring Morgan to the end because they have a similar amount of competition wins. And she's. And she keeps just trying to be like, I just feel like relying on a tie vote with Vinnie. I. I think you just need to win, and then we can send Lauren home. Okay. And he's like, yeah, but honestly, even if Kelly wins, there's no way Kelly turns her back on me. And I don't know. I don't know how con his conversations are going with you, but, like, he's swearing he's gonna keep me, so I don't think he would lie to my face like that. I. I don't know, Keanu, listen. I I think he's entertaining things that people are saying to his face, but he doesn't actually mean them.

Morgan (59:34)

Karen, can you just put me out of my misery, please?

Taryn Armstrong (59:39)

You don't say Keanu. He might say things to people's face that he doesn't mean. Interesting.

Morgan (59:45)

That hasn't happened to you four times by him so far.

Taryn Armstrong (59:48)

That is his constant excuse. If Kelly's saying she's going to vote me out, it's because that's what she's saying to other people. She's not lying to me. If Vince is telling other people he's going to evict me, that's because he wants to be selling to other people. But the truth is what he's saying to me. And so when Keanu, when has that.

Morgan (60:07)

Ever been the case? When has Vince ever shown you that that's the case? When has it ever been the case?

Taryn Armstrong (60:15)

Morgan says Vince is just so concerned about a girl that has protected him, leaving his age on his hoh. Well, if he votes me out, he'd lose to Ashley. Him lying to my face like that for no reason. I'd vote for Kelly or Ashley next to him on in the final and he needs my vote. Keanu is under the impression that if he doesn't vote for somebody to win, they can't win full stop. Like, he just fully believes this. He says, well, hopefully the Lauren goggles are off and it'll be fine. And she goes, oh, you, you call them Lauren goggles too? That's funny. That's what I call them. He says, oh, yeah, because Vince told me you called them that. And it, I mean, it makes sense. He's got Lauren Gollum. Vince. Vince told you I, I said that she loves that. Vince told you I said so he was like, complaining about me talking about Lauren. He's like, that's not really. So that's a, that's a pretty funny conversation. It's not super important. I just thought it was funny. Ashley goes and talks to Ava again.

Morgan (61:23)

It's funny. It's also just like, truly put me out of my misery.

Taryn Armstrong (61:27)

I mean, I, I, it's important to remind you because the casuals love Keanu. It's important to remind everyone how Keanu is.

Morgan (61:35)

You're right. You're right. It is you. If, if nothing else, stay committed to reminding people of the integrity of the game and actually what the skill level is of all players.

Taryn Armstrong (61:50)

Ashley talks to Ava again. This time she starts to push to see if Ava's maybe willing to flip against Lauren because they don't currently have Vince. And so if they want to keep Keanu over Lauren, they maybe would need Kelly or Ava. And so she starts to make a case against Lauren. And this. This doubles as, like, can I try to flip Ava? Or at the very least, make sure Ava's not mad at me when I evict Lauren, get her to understand why I might evict Lauren. And to those ends, it seems fairly successful. Because my concern is that if Lauren is saying she wants to keep Vince around, I don't want two people in the game that are warriors for Vince. And Ava's kind of like that, frankly. That makes sense. You know, she's sad about it. She doesn't want Lauren to go. She's not gonna vote Lauren out. But she gets why Ashley might.

Morgan (62:47)

Yeah.

Taryn Armstrong (62:50)

Morgan also tries her hand at this and tries to convince Ava to flip her vote, but to no avail. She does fully call out Ava's final three with Lauren and Kelly. And she was like, what? What? No. Ava talks to Lauren after this, and she's very upset, and she's like, lauren, I. I don't. I don't think it's good. These people are cutthroat. They're ruthless. They want you out. And Lauren, who gets all of her actual information or not actual, gets all of her information from Vince, who is like. It actually irritates the fuck out of me, is like, is Ashley. Is it Ashley? Is she doing this? And Ava does not rat Ashley out. She's like, no, I. I don't actually know where Ashley's going. It's, you know, I think it's mostly Morgan, but. But Lauren is kind of convinced it might be Ashley's fault. And so, you know, we'll see where that goes because. Because again, Vinnie keeps telling her Ashley is saying that Ava is saying. And so Lauren now knows that Ava has told Ashley stuff, and so she's mad about that, but Ava's not copying to it.

Morgan (64:05)

Also, like, yeah, Lauren can think it's Ashley's fault all she wants until eviction night or tonight when Vince has to stand up and break a tie and say, lauren, I'm so sorry I'm evicting you. Then I think that'll take the sting away from Ashley.

Taryn Armstrong (64:21)

Honestly, if anything, it's probably a good thing if Lauren does leave, that she blames Ashley a lot because Ashley needs some, you know, blood on her resume. So we'll see. Lauren then says, I need to talk to Vinnie one more time. And so she, like, camps up in the hoh room for a While she has a long conversation with Morgan and another one with Vince where she's crying about how she's going home. I told you this was going to happen, Vince. He's like, no, you're gonna stay. It's fine. And, you know, so on and so forth. This does not really go anywhere. What we're all waiting for, of course, is the final conversation between Morgan and Vince at the end of the night, or should I say in the morning? Because it goes into that time frame and we eventually get there. It takes a while because Morgan intentionally delays it by saying, I need to clean the kitchen. And he just sits there and watches her for a while, clearly thinking up some idea. What is he gonna say? He's. He has to address a lot of things. He has to apologize for threatening their relationship outside of the game. He has to apologize for always smiling and smirking and laughing. He has to make it clear to her that he needs Lauren. Lots of things. They finally go upstairs, and Vincent begins, well, above everything, I want you to know that I love you more than you'll probably ever know or believe. And I care about you not only as a human being and a friend, but, but also as a player in the game. And I want the best for you because I'm your biggest fan and I. I want you to succeed. And I didn't think I would meet someone like you in here. And you. What you brought to my, like, heart and just comfort in this vulnerable environment and vulnerable alternate reality that we're living in, I. I not only hoped for, but I needed, I think, more than anything. So having you in here means the world to me. And I don't care what happens in this game. I hope that we are in our lives, no matter what, for a very long time, because I value you as a person and a friend and just somebody that has genuinely always had my back. It's just, I. I can't really express in words how much you mean to me in, in general. I have so much adoration and respect for you. It's. It's hard to navigate, you know, feelings and personal game and all that stuff, because my personal game is your game as well. I know you would never do anything intentionally to sabotage my game. And I don't want to. I don't even want to say this because I'm afraid you're going to take it wrong or view me as a liability or anything, but I feel like this decision over the past few days, I. I feel like the game is, like, been finally making me crack a little bit. And I. I think that's why I find myself sometimes having weird reactions. Like I'm like cracking smiles because I can't understand how I got here. It's not like I'm taking it. Not taking it serious. I. I just. And I. I feel like that's extremely disrespectful to you. I. I've just never been this exhausted in my life and I've never cared about something so much in my life. The exhaustion is just getting to me and I feel like I'm finally cracking, which I don't want to because like I said, this game means the world to me. And this opportunity is the best opportunity I've had in my entire life. So I just don't want to screw it up because I know this is. This is it. Because in a week and a half, it's going to be done. And I don't know what our lives are going to look like outside of this, but I just want to make the most of this while I still can. I don't know why I started saying words I don't mean. I. I hope I didn't say anything I can't take back.

Morgan (69:01)

I'm.

Taryn Armstrong (69:02)

I'm just, you know, I'm very extremely sentimental and clingy, and so I'm gonna be very clingy to you outside of this house. So I. I hope you're okay with that. And I'm sorry I threatened things outside of this house. You know, that's just how I feel.

Morgan (71:16)

She responds violin that's what I was doing.

Taryn Armstrong (71:20)

No, just, just, just. Again, remember, nothing he does or says is fully genuine. Yeah, he's saying all this. He is going to be straight back to everything he was doing before in about 10 minutes.

Morgan (71:36)

Again. Sorry, Taryn. It's like slush. Like, what is he saying? It's slush. Like, there's no. The only thing I believed or like could really understand about what you were saying is how exhausted he is. He's like, I've never been this exhausted in my life. And I'm like, okay, there you go. That is definitely true.

Taryn Armstrong (71:56)

I'm sure, Vinnie. I just never once felt like we wouldn't be cool on the outside. I've. I've just stayed consistent and stayed loyal, you know? It's hard getting an ultimatum, Vince. I. And I was just reminded today that nobody is going to take me to the finals. You're not taking me to the final two. That's not true. I know that if you had to choose between me and Lauren, you would take Lauren. I'm not dumb, Vince. People take their closest allies all the time. And then we just go straight into the usual arguments over the course of hours and it comes. Don't shut me down. Don't shut me down. You don't shut me down. You don't want to talk about Lauren leaving. You don't even want to listen to me. I do want to listen to you. Don't say that. It's not true, Vince. I. I think I just need to go to bed now. It's like three in the morning now.

Morgan (73:04)

Go to bed. Everybody go to bed.

Taryn Armstrong (73:07)

She is laying on the bed, like, eyes closed, like lying there and he's sitting upright, literally shaking her. Morgan, Morgan, to me, to me. It sounds like you, like, what are you doing? Morgan? You Know, I think. I think you literally told Lauren to say that she wouldn't put us both up. Morgan, please believe me over believing Kelly. I. It's not about believing Kelly. I just can beat Kelly more than I can beat Lauren. Morgan, it feels like you've made up your mind already. What the hell did Kelly say to you to make you so sure? I don't like the way you're talking to me right now, Vince. She didn't say anything to me. Don't believe what she's saying. I'm not. I'm supposed to not believe what she's saying over Lauren? Who put me on the block? Who voted me? No. No, no, no, no, no. Nope. Nope. You're not supposed to believe Kelly. You're not supposed to believe Lauren. You're supposed to believe me. The same reason I'm supposed to put trust in you. Voting out Keanu and making me the biggest target in the house. I don't know what I'm doing. You said you were 50. 50. Exactly. I don't know what I'm doing. I wouldn't do that. But that's just me. We're playing different games. That's all it is. Is your mind made up? I'm about 80. 20. Do you know what that will do? This is terrible for my game. You gave me your word about this. And my biggest fear was that you were gonna change your mind. That's up the way you did that. I'm sorry. And I apologized about that. I thought you forgave me. You're gonna make me look like a fool. You're gonna make me look so dumb. I don't want to do this right now, Vince. I'm so tired. I told you I was 80. 20. 80% making me look stupid. Why would you do 80% making me look like a. On TV. That's so bad, Morgan. Vince, I'm so done with this. I just need to go to sleep. Okay, That's. That's about the end. They go to bed.

Morgan (75:18)

It is. I stand firm in what I said. It's slush. It's. If they could just kiss and make up. If they could have just said, you know what? Let's talk about this in the morning, huddled up together, give some kisses on the forehead, whispered sweet nothings to one another, this would be the end of it. But it is so round and round and round we go, because they have no other way to get out their tension and frustration. They love it, both of them. They love it.

Taryn Armstrong (76:00)

They also, just like, they keep procrastinating these conversations. Like they will talk during the day and be like, we'll just talk later tonight. We'll figure it out later. Because like they, it's, it's so tense that they'd rather like be able to a little bit hang out during the day and then they just end up, you know, completely at each other's throats at night. So this is where things stand at the moment. If Kelly wins the blockbuster and it's Lauren versus Keanu, Ashley and Morgan currently plan to vote out Lauren, Kelly and Ava plan to vote out Keanu, and Vince seems more likely to break the tie to evict Keanu. However, even to the cameras, he's saying it might be a game time decision. So it is not locked in by any means. Morgan is continuing to try to push him into doing it. If Lauren wins the blockbuster and it's Keanu versus Kelly, they all agree they're evicting Kelly. Now this is also a game time decision for Vince in the sense that he was, he is planning to evict Kelly for sure. But it will also be a tiebreaker because Ava and Kelly, Lauren will be voting to evict Keanu and you know, Morgan and Ashley will be voting to evict Kelly and. And Vince will be breaking the tide to evict Kelly. And this is specifically what Lauren is telling him he absolutely cannot do. That would be the final straw for her. So that's a bad outcome for him. And then there's the third outcome, which is Keanu wins the blockbuster and it's Lauren versus Kelly. As of right now, Morgan, Ashley and Keanu will be voting Lauren out against Vinnie's wishes. And that, of course, is the most dramatic outcome. Vince has found a way to put himself in a lose, lose, lose scenario where no outcome is good. He's always pissing somebody off. And it's genuinely impressive that he's capable of finding these niche scenarios that are absolute worst case for him, worst case.

Morgan (78:26)

For him in the game. And also like, if you want to talk about how he's able to just find himself in worst case scenarios in life, like him and Morgan's relationship is also his worst case scenario in life where like, it's not even like they're together in there. And however, he is absolutely, in my personal opinion, emotionally at least cheating on his girlfriend, if not like, you know, physically cheating on her with the rubs and the hugs and the whatever. And like, yet he's still not like locked in with Morgan. And in all of these fights, like, Vinnie just finds himself in he. He has put himself not finds himself, he has put himself in worst case scenario all around in his entire. For his entire being right now, day 70, whatever, in the big brother house. And it is unbelievable. And I wonder, I imagine in his actual real life that there is somebody who bails him out of these situations because this can't just be something that is not a pattern in his real life. I would imagine that there is somebody who. And, you know, I'm not going to say who I think it is, but I think we can all probably in our brains come up with the idea of who in his real life probably bails him out of most of his tough situations that he finds himself in. And I. He's on his own in here. So God bless him.

Taryn Armstrong (79:59)

Yeah, so that is. Yeah, that is currently the situation as they're pointing the chat. It is, it is a rock paper scissors eviction tonight. Each person winning the blockbuster theoretically sends a different person home or to the jury. And that of course brings us into the double eviction where there's plenty on the table and plenty of decisions that are going to be made that we can't even speculate a ton on because of how impactful what happens in the eviction might be. So stay tuned. Anything else from the day that you wanted to bring up, Maggie? No.

Morgan (80:42)

You know, people in the comments saying I'm being a bit savage towards Vince perhaps, but like, I would love for him to prove me wrong. I would love for him in the next 12 days to be able to pull himself out of this situation, figure out a path forward, mend all of his fences, bail himself out. Let's see.

Taryn Armstrong (81:05)

It's always up to me. Always up to me. Nobody wants to help me. Fuck me, I guess.

Morgan (81:10)

Yeah. Vince, it's big brother. Nobody's gonna help you.

Taryn Armstrong (81:14)

I helped everyone else.

Morgan (81:16)

Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Lauren, Zach, Riley, they all loved your help. Loved your help.

Taryn Armstrong (81:29)

All right, well, an eventful night tonight. I'm sure it's a two hour episode. You can find me streaming it on YouTube, Twitch and Patreon if you want to watch along with me. And of course there will be a recap afterward here on RHAP. And I will be back tomorrow morning, 11am Eastern to update you on everything that happens today. And I imagine there will be some more drama today leading into this boat and then hopefully as well what happens tonight when feeds eventually hopefully come back at some point. So stay tuned.

Morgan (82:04)

Taryn, what did you think of the episode last night when Morgan was cutting the pizza?

Taryn Armstrong (82:11)

I thought it was funny. It was very like obviously sort of like edited together to make it look more dramatic. I think it, like whenever I notice something like that, it takes a little bit of the impact away, but it was still very funny.

Morgan (82:25)

No, I, I feel like that's an all timer zing, but.

Taryn Armstrong (82:30)

Oh, this is the best Zingbot they've had in ages.

Morgan (82:32)

Yeah. Although brutal for Ashley, everybody in the Dr. Being like, we all know who got the worst thing.

Taryn Armstrong (82:42)

Yeah, I, I definitely was like, you know, Ashley's has so much work to do to, to counter this perception of her in the game right now. So that is what we have.
