The HOH is between a rock and a hard place.
As the dust settles on Will’s eviction, the houseguests prepare for the HOH Competition. Julie informs the fans that next Thursday, there will be a Double Eviction, and it will be two hours long.

The HOH

Feeds return with Vince enjoying his third Head of Household win.

Vince, once again, finds himself trying to protect both his number one and number two in the game. The issue is that Lauren wants Morgan out. Morgan wants Lauren out.

Keanu tries to get Vince to listen to him by nominating Lauren, Ava, and Ashley as the initial block for the week. Vince is trying to tell Keanu that Lauren told him that if he kept her off the block, and she won VETO, she would not use it. Keanu does not believe this.

Next to enter is Morgan. Now she is either Vince’s number one or number two. She thinks he is his number one, but fans are mixed on this because he hesitated to place Lauren in harm’s way. Meanwhile, Lauren and Ava are discussing the fact that they may find themselves next to each other OTB.

Morgan tells Vince, “Tell me what you think. Afterwards, I will tell you what I think is best for your game. We can then discuss the best case for us both to move forward.” She pushes for a Lauren nomination, stating, “She wants me out so she can have you to herself.”

Morgan uses the argument that Lauren put your number one (ME) otb last week and got no reaction from you. She will use the VETO on Ava because she knows you won’t get upset with her.

Vince Feels The Pressure

Ashley joins them in the room, and the discussion continues with the girls pointing out that they are the last three of ‘The Judges’ Alliance left. Both Ashley and Morgan push for an Ava, Lauren, and Kelley nomination for the block.

They explain that if Lauren wins VETO, she can pull herself down, and Keanu will go up. If either Keanu or Kelley wins Blockbuster, the other goes home. Vince has a successful Head of Household by getting a big target out.

After roughly 40 minutes of back-and-forth discussion with Vince, “What If?” with them, he decides to go tell Lauren she may be on the block for the first time in the game. The girls stay in his room for a bit longer, but Morgan gets called to the DR, and Ashley heads to bed.

Lauren and Vince start their conversation with Vince saying, “They both want you on the block, but are promising me you won’t go home.” Lauren responds, “I don’t want to go on the block on your reign.” Vince tells her, “They are scared you will use the VETO on either Kelley or Ava.” She tells him, “Fine, I will throw the VETO Competition.”

In other news, Julie confirmed Zingbot will be returning this week. Ava confirmed this at the hot tub with Lauren, saying, “It was only a zing, no big deal.” Don’t forget, ‘The Mastermind’ may have something in store for the remaining houseguests this week.
