Daily Feeds Recaps
Day 37 - Wednesday - August 13, 2025
Last night Keanu Buttler was woken up, and had to put on all his gear to make pigs in blankets. He wasn't pleased but he dove in, and even asked the remaining late night whisperers if they had any requests for dessert-style, plain crescents, etc. The way this guy has embraced this task is simply delightful, and inspiring. By the way, those whispers included Lauren pitching to Ashley and Zach that they consider working with Rachel, since Mickey and Morgan are so solidly against her. Will was also up late, planning ahead with Ashley, so he had a rare morning lie-in, which was also inspiring. Today kicked off with a manic, lengthy whispery meeting of the anti-Rachel committee in the gym, comprised of Mickey, Morgan, Zach, which was a followup to extreme anti-Rachel whispering from Mickey and Morgan. The committee meeting ended when Rachel showed up to do her workout, but Mickey and Morgan continued in the pantry. They never, ever stop: it's gone beyond tedious and exhausting to ridiculous and exasperating.
Rylie told Katherine while scrambling eggs he's going to be with her after this, whether she likes it or not, and he's going to marry her. She asked "what if we break up in here?" And he said she needs to stop thinking like that. Katherine and Lauren planned and then led a ballet class in the gym with Ashley, Kelley, Rachel, and Keanu Buttler in his swimming outfit. Vince Egg didn't participate, so it was a non-event except for those stretching along at home. Zach was gregarious and over-friendly in group settings this morning, but Vince Egg was all business. He made a campaign pitch to Will and included his patented complaint of being falsely perceived as playing the middle. (At this point he might have actually convinced himself that he didn't orchestrate and work hard to set that up.) Later he pitched to Rachel and said (again) his biggest regret is getting off on the wrong foot with her. Morgan went back to whispering with Zach, and they were joined by Mickey. Mickey later gave Ava an overly long and complex pitch with M&Ms to get Keanu Buttler out tomorrow, and Rachel out before jury. Ava finally said "I don't care, a guy's going home and I don't give a shit which one." When Mickey left Ava said to herself/us "what the fuck are the M&Ms? I don't even remember what she said."
Zach and Morgan sat down for another marathon talk, and he said he's thinking of telling Mickey about his $10k veto, and that Morgan already knows about it. After a whole lot of words, Morgan said "that's entirely up to you." They ran a whole lot more words, and he seemed to have decided to go ahead and do it. (The logic escapes me: hey Mickey, if we end up on the block together I can save myself, cool huh?) He said he'll tell Mickey that he previously told Morgan about it but swore her to secrecy, because he didn't use it this week in order to save their alliance of four (with Vince Egg), since Morgan would have gone up as renom if he came down. He did acknowledge if he goes home, "I could have arguably one of the most embarrassing weeks of all time." Yep! He also planned campaign pitches for others that would include volunteering to go up as a pawn if they win HOH. Vince Egg continued campaign rounds with his innocence claims about playing the middle, and Keanu Buttler also made some pitches, including telling Ava that he won't put her up and he'll save her with veto if she's on the block and he wins it. He pitched that to several others as well but it backfired with Rylie, who told Katherine "what kind of fuckin deal is that, I don't need no fuckin pawns."
The show cleared up a couple things, including that Zach's power is called BB Buy-off. That wasn't mentioned when he read his card in Diary back on Episode 2, but it was said at least three times in this episode. And we learned that Zach's task was called Partners in Crime. The episode didn't show that Rachel volunteered to do it with him, or that they spent much of their overnight downtime talking game and mending bridges, but the episode also made Morgan seem only mildly paranoid rather than the raving lunatic she actually was for several days. At any rate, Zach and Rachel had prisoner outfits and they sat in a little jail cell. When a siren sounded, they had to pick a $25k money bag from a safe, take it to a table and open it. Only four had actual (fake) cash, and the rest had exploding blue goop bombs. Then they had to return to their jail and wait for the next siren. Needless to say, they got splatted over and over, but they completed the task at 5.20am, well within their 12-hour time limit. I don't know what the repercussions would be if they didn't complete it in time, if any.
Back to feeds after the episode, intense whispering and campaigning raged on and on, worse than a presidential election year, in ever-rotating groups of twos and threes. Zach hadn't yet told Mickey about his veto so we didn't miss that. Ashley told Will she's thinking of telling all three guys she's keeping them, and why not? Rylie did. Rylie told Katherine they'll cut Mickey when they make it to final three (like it'll be that easy to get there), and at one point he told himself/us "here's the deal, I just don't understand why people want to talk to me about what is going on, leave me alone! I don't have to tell you, I don't." Proof he's a TV-only fan (like we needed more proof of that) and doesn't know talk talk talk is what happens in that house every summer. Morgan told Zach "I don't want to be like someone who's like whispering around the house whispering shit." Hello? In 37 days, that's literally all I've ever seen her do. And Rachel gave Keanu Buttler another How to BB lesson in the pantry, and said she knows everything that has and is going on, including him ratting out her Heavy Hitters info to Vince Egg. She said "I'm still in the game of chess, I'm still the queen." He made a scoffing noise, and she said "that's very valuable." Keanu Buttler later told Vince Egg some of Rachel's information is "just so off sometimes." Mickey showed Will her M&Ms diagramming, which she's now got playing out four weeks into the future. Keanu Buttler told Ashley, with Rachel present, that Zach would like to get Ashley out next. She said she'd heard that and they talked about it. Keanu Buttler said "okay.." implying that hadn't changed. Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't, but the bottom line is he didn't get the reaction he expected.
Seven or eight hours later, Zach finally got around to telling Mickey about his $10k veto. He said he has a secret that only one other person knows, and then he explained how his veto works and that he told Morgan about it "after the veto." He said he did it for their Melting Pot alliance, and he didn't use it this week because Morgan would have gone up, but he can use it in the future if needed to keep the four of them safe, adding "I'm willing to sacrifice the $10,000 I earned" to keep the alliance safe. And he said he'll tell Vince Egg about it if they both stay, but he absolutely won't tell Lauren. Mickey asked if that's why he'd been offering himself up as a pawn and he said yes, but he'd only offered that to Katherine and Rylie (and we know Rylie was just annoyed by that offer, at least from Keanu). She said "you already were good [for the vote] but that's fire" and he said if it seemed like the Block Buster was going to come down to him versus Vince Egg, he'd throw it to him as he feels he'd have a better shot at staying if the vote was him versus Keanu Buttler. Mickey didn't visibly react to hearing Morgan already knew about it, and she swore she wouldn't tell anyone, and said they have to win HOH. I think Mickey and Morgan will talk about it later tonight but I've reached my limit so will catch that up tomorrow if they do.
As of now, Keanu Buttler will likely be evicted tomorrow if he doesn't win the Block Buster and if he does, Zach will probably leave over Vince Egg - unless this late revelation develops into anything to change that. And as usual this season, keep it in pencil. Thursday night is the wall comp for HOH, and I just hope they put it on feeds as usual - I'm a little concerned they might not since they didn't let us watch the Zach and Rachel overnight task as usual, but we'll stay hopeful.

Day 36 - Tuesday - August 12, 2025
They started their long inside lockdown this morning for the HOH (wall) comp build in the backyard. Keanu Buttler got several more pigs in blankets prompts this morning, which he made and served well, and he voluntarily made cinnamon rolls, along with various crescent roll concoctions throughout the day. Morgan talked at Kelley for awhile about road trips, penitentiaries, dog tails, Tahoe, and her spine problems (not inverted, as of now) among other topics. Kelley got a few words in, but then settled into nods and mm-hmm's, as one does. Morgan also said "I don't like to ask people what they're thinking" about the vote. Yep, she said that. Later Morgan delivered an anti-Rachel rant to Lauren, as Mickey delivered anti-Morgan and anti-Rachel rants to Katherine. Zach was asked to re-create his crying outburst when Zae was evicted, but feedmasters went to WBRB for that, even though it happened on the show. There isn't enough facepalm for the things they're blocking anymore.
Keanu Buttler split his pants doing squats with Morgan while serving pigs in blankets. A little later Mickey was interrogating/berating Morgan for not reporting things back to her fast enough. They brought in Keanu Buttler to ask about last night's Heavy Hitters news, but they went several rounds before they got there. Mickey and Morgan both got a little heated but Keanu Buttler stayed as calm as a professional butler. Unbelievable lines poured out like syrup, including Mickey saying "I don't do the he said/she said stuff," Keanu Buttler saying "the only alliance I ever tried to band was to get both of you out, and we already talked about that," and Morgan saying "I don't know where the votes are, I do not care" to which Keanu Buttler replied "I think you do." They finally got around to the Heavy Hitters stuff when Mickey asked "what is the connection with Rachel?" and Keanu Buttler said Rachel thinks there's a majority alliance headed by Vince. Mickey asked who's supposedly in it, and he said Rachel didn't know, "she said something about Heavy Hitters, something like that, from Week 1." They finally wrapped up with Keanu Buttler saying he had some more piggies to deliver.
It was a bit difficult to concentrate on all that on quads because of egg business going on downstairs. Vince Egg had gone inside his shell and Kelley cozied up to whisper with him through an armhole, and they were joined by Keanu Buttler at the other armhole. It was absolutely ridiculous and hilarious. But retells and rehashes about the Keanu/Mickey/Morgan discussion took off, like they do, and included Keanu Buttler telling Rachel "I just went up there and bold face lied." Mickey and Morgan kept going with Morgan saying her real life isn't like this, she has comfort zones and routines and etc, but Mickey shut that down by saying her life isn't like this either. (Whose is?!) Morgan got sniffly and said maybe she's not cut out for this game, she should have done better before now, and she said if Mickey doesn't want to work with her, she'd understand. Keanu Buttler and Mickey also re-met, with Keanu Buttler saying it wouldn't make any sense for him to create an alliance within an alliance (never mind that's been his MO all along, albeit unsuccessfully), and Mickey said it's Morgan's own fault she was being targeted with Zach and Vince Egg because they kept hanging out late together, even after knowing they'd been noticed. Keanu Buttler told us that's the second time Morgan's tried to burn him in two days and he's never trusting her again, and "I believe we're overdue for seven more piggies." Keanu Buttler had also said to Mickey in the first round "the only person I'm aware of who is not a fan of you is Kelley," and Mickey met with Kelley in HOH shortly after to say how much she's "blossomed" since not being on the block, and other niceties. Kelley later told Keanu Buttler she didn't buy any of it.
A lively, enthusiastic chat about vintage video games broke out between Rachel, Vince Egg, Keanu Buttler, and various others (but not Morgan the gamer). It was a good time for them and us, free of any gametalk or related tension, and it went on for awhile. Eventually more joined, Ava made a charcuterie board, and Rylie humped Vince Egg from various angles. Feeds went to adoptable anipals for 40 minutes or so, with no apparent reason why. Maybe a maintenance issue. When they came back, retells and rehashes of the earlier events continued, including Morgan to Vince Egg. You have to wonder since Morgan found out (finally) that her game isn't working out for her or anyone else, that maybe she'd sit back, reassess, and change her strategy, or just stop saying so much all the time. But no. She even asked Vince Egg to not say anything to anyone about what she told him, which included the Heavy Hitters info (Vince Egg already knew that came out last night). Of course he agreed he wouldn't say anything, but of course he will. And Ava and Will met to discuss ideas for next week, when the safety she earned this week is potentially over, and to wonder how so many of them gametalk "20 hours a day." We have all wondered that.
Vince Egg did some light campaigning that leaned towards mopey, saying his entire game is now based on a two-minute competition, and "I've been dreaming about this since I was 23 years old, and now I'm 34 and I'm going home week fucking 5." (If he goes, he won't be the first superfan to leave prematurely, and he won't be the last.) He visited Ava in HOH, who was sleeping, to ask-without-asking her to break a tie in his favor. She didn't answer the question he asked-without-asking, and she apologized for the whole situation and said she hopes they can all laugh about it later. And they launched some cracked nightmare fuel when she reached out to hug him in the greenlight. Keanu Buttler referred to Vince Egg's jammies as his incubator suit, and the two of them met several times in the pantry (formerly Keanu's office/his buttler's pantry this week) for extra visual comedy.
Zach gave a pitch to viewers to give him a power in case there's a vote underway, saying he checks all the boxes including a great smile and frequently removing his shirt. I really don't like it when they pander to us like that, but especially when it's someone who already has a power in his pocket and didn't use it. Keanu Buttler also met with Kelley, and they talked about Vince Egg having too many F2s. Kelley said Jimmy told her before he left to "get Vince out, and Rachel and Ashley will help you." Keanu Buttler warned her not to spend too much time with Rachel as that places a target on her, and he suggested they do work with her. Morgan apologized to Mickey and they hugged, and said they can't lose trust in each other, and they ran vote scenarios, along with the usual Rachel Rachel Rachel talk. Ashley and Will also ran vote scenarios. Vince Egg asked Lauren and Zach why Keanu Buttler and Kelley were so friendly all of a sudden, and he sounded a little panicky about it.

Day 35 - Monday - August 11, 2025
Zach continued nervousing this morning, including to Morgan and then to her and Ashley - not the calmest people in the house, but he remained calm despite his $10,000 decision looming. He then told Rylie that he'd heard since he's close to Lauren, some want to vote him (Zach) out to break them up, and he asked if he'd have Rylie's vote if he's on the block Thursday night. Rylie promised that to him, as he's already promised both Vince Egg and Keanu Buttler. But recall that Rylie cast a hinky vote way back at the first eviction and nothing much came of that, nor of Ashley's stray vote last week, so he probably figures why not.
Neither Katherine nor Zach used their vetos. I think there was a prompt for Keanu Buttler to make and serve pigs in blankets at some point during the meeting, as there usually is for those things. He did have to do it at 3am last night, and he did a couple more this afternoon, but those should slow down now since they only really need them for the Wednesday show. Keanu Buttler made what I think started as a campaign pitch to Mickey, which led to a minor spat about some disagreement involving a lot of who said what. Rylie and Katherine also had a mini spat as she said she wants Zach to leave this week and he pushed back on that. She told him to "chill out" and he said "me chill out?!" It wasn't much but it was a bit of tension we're seeing a bit more of lately with those two. She went to get some food and asked if he's coming, but he stayed behind for a bit, and told us he's got three people counting on his vote Thursday, adding "ay yi yi, it's gonna be rough, wish me luck."
Keanu Buttler kept on the campaign trail, making a pitch to Morgan. She teared up and said her two people are also on the block and it was an impossible situation. Vince Egg complained that he hadn't gotten his promised swimming egg outfit yet, and then he put on his sleeping egg outfit and told BB he'd stay in his bed, but to let him know if he had to put the full suit back on. Morgan crouched by his bed to talk at him and lay out an M&Ms strategy of some sort going forward. Vince Egg had said last night and again earlier today that he'd take today off and not campaign, and he did go socializing and general chatting after that (back in his full egg). Zach and Mickey had a very long talk, and his $10k came up. Mickey said Adrian had brought that up. Zach started crying, saying "I'm just exhausted, I'm so tired" and she peptalked him about that of course. A lot of feedsters wondered all day why he didn't use his pocket veto and why he was crying. My theory is still that he knows using it would out him to his allies and everyone that he's been lying for 35 days. He's sworn repeatedly he has no powers, his $10k was only cash, and etc. If you scrolled all the way down to yesterday's Lines of the Day, Ava had a good one: "guilty consciences tell on themselves." That wasn't about this, but it applies. Maybe.
Morgan later laid out her M&Ms for Zach, both for votes this week and next week plans, I think. There was a lot of anti-Rachel involved. Zach later told her about his $10k veto and said he didn't use it today because she would have gone on the block. Vince Egg struggled to make a sandwich since he has to slide his shell to the side and put both hands through one armhole because he can't reach around the midsection to use both hands. He finally managed, and got some chips, then sat down and went inside his shell to eat - again because he can't use both hands otherwise. Zach went into hysterics, and Vince Egg's voice got echoey in there as he explained his dilemma. This is hands down the best costume they've ever had, although having four bunnies at once in BB8 was pretty great too. There was rarely a convo, serious or casual, that didn't include a bunny or two. Will did an adult diaper commercial, saying his podcast has a prime audience for that, and he did a pretty good pitch for Depends with just a couple mentions of leakage.
Rachel told Kelley and Keanu Buttler about Heavy Hitters but said she wasn't in it, and Keanu Buttler said Rylie had said he doesn't trust Rachel, and he was annoyed that she was trying to intervene in his showmance. Rachel wanted to know more, and Keanu Buttler said that was a week or two ago. He pitched to Kelley and Rachel that the three of them work together and didn't get enthusiastic responses (same as when he pitched that to Rachel recently). Kelley said it would work well in their favor since nobody would suspect it, especially as she's said she'd never work with him, and Rachel said "you really don't need a big group of people." There was no formal agreement or hands-in. Keanu Buttler immediately reported Rachel's Heavy Hitters news to Vince Egg, and went down his usual mega-alliance path, this time counting seven. Vince Egg said his Week 1 alliances were all because people were pitching them to him because he was HOH, and after that week nobody talked to him. He then reported the Heavy Hitters news to Morgan who said Rachel's throwing out everything she can, and Vince Egg said she's playing the victim. Morgan suggested Vince Egg tell Keanu Buttler that Rachel was indeed in Heavy Hitters.
Melting Pot tried to hold a meeting but Ashley sat in so that turned into general chat. I don't know why alliance roulette revved up everywhere again but it kept going. Rachel pitched working together to Zach, who said he's "100% down" and said he's also good with Lauren. Rachel said that'd be great, she loves Lauren. Zach later reported Rachel's pitch to Vince Egg, but he didn't mention the Lauren part. Lauren met with Vince Egg for a long time, and she said he's her number one. Morgan came along and had a long discussion with Lauren before moving on to Katherine, and Vince Egg rejoined Lauren. He again complained about alliances being thrown at him Week 1 and that's why everyone thinks he's working with everyone else, but it's not true. (It is true.) Apologies because this is all just a lot of chaotic non-info, most of which probably won't lead anywhere. Throughout all of this, Rylie could be heard periodically shouting in the distance - about what, I have no idea. Ava finally got out of bed and told Zach her nominations weren't personal. Again. Zach blew some air kisses at Ashley, in group settings. Mickey and Rylie had a lengthy talk/gripe session about Morgan. Vince Egg told Mickey about Rachel telling Keanu Buttler about Heavy Hitters. Rylie later griped to Katherine about Morgan and various others.

Ratings - The Honeymoon's Over edition
Ratings are based on entertainment value, mostly
Noms count: original/renom/twist
  
Paying customers shouldn't be jerked around like they jerk us around. BB Canada jerked us around horribly and continuously, but those feeds were free. (Not an excuse, but still a factor.) We are the core audience who drive engagement with this silly show, and they should be treating us with gratitude and respect, rather than constantly shitting on us.
Update: Make it a double down for blocking the costume reveals and reactions from us, and Zach and Rachel's task.

She's become the messy chaos queen that Kelley used to be. She whispers here, she whispers there, and pretty soon everyone's running around and it's bedlam. Zach found out that she found out he wanted her gone with a quickness, so now he's sweet-talking and blowing air kisses at her. That probably can't last?

She made the first 'big move' so far, and was the first HOH to not nominate her allies - what a concept. She's done some backsliding with guilt about her noms here and there, but as she's often said, and as the hamsters love to chant over and over, 'it's a game.' Kudos to her for putting up three strong players, and none of them are pawns. She's not been as present on feeds, or as amusing when she is, since she moved into the penthouse, but she'll be a citizen again in a few days and will probably earn ups again.

She's getting a little feisty lately, at least compared to her former non-houseguest status (© BB6 Howie). I don't have much to say about her and Rylie except that I don't want or need to hear them canoodling, or slurpydurp smacking. Beyond that she's a consenting adult, and she's initiated most of the huge hugs and kissy sessions, so that part of it is her business. My business is whether she's being entertaining, or at least useful in the game, and aside from winning this week's veto, she isn't.

Dungeon master (and fitness/nutrition trainer) McKinney, TX (orig Miami, FL)
His game continues to be a shambles as he lands in a good spot, then immediately sabotages himself. But he's done great as the big ass buttler, and he learned a new culinary skill. Everyone enjoyed his pigs in blankets and he said he's glad he could give something back rather than just eating whatever someone else made.
PS I was surprised to discover he has a girlfriend. Have we ever had a hamster talk so little about a significant other at home?

She's the anti-Morgan. She talks so slowly it's painful, and she says not much, but seems to think she's a force in there. That's encouraged by Zach (but she doesn't like him back like that, as far as we know anyway). She has yet to exhibit much of a personality. She's one step away from being a non-houseguest (© BB6 Howie).

I haven't really recovered from her HOH week so I don't listen closely to most of her talks. She's a stealth whisperer and fast talker, which is a brutal combo, especially when she's usually bashing someone who isn't present.

She constantly talks way too much and way too fast, and turns every conversation around to talking about herself to the point that we know more about her life than our own. She causes at least two-thirds of the continual chaos that this season is. She's panicked for weeks when she was perfectly safe and when she was finally potentially not safe, she spiraled bad with a self-rightous air of entitlement. Zach told her about his veto and said he didn't use it to protect her, so we'll see if she spills about that to anyone/everyone, or if she just believes it's a token of love from her sweet baboo (who doesn't like her back that way).

Casting agent Hoover, AL (orig Concord, NC via Las Vegas, NV)
I wasn't a fan before, but I am now. More are turning against her every hour, but she's just warming up. I'm ready to find out what she's got in store for the mid-season phase.

Professional bull rider Luther, OK
They all love him, even though he's very loud, often obnoxious, and clearly only cares about one of them. Yet they all want to protect him and keep him and Katherine around. Most of them probably aren't aware of the historical high odds of showmancers making it to finals, but Rachel is.

Won: Egg 1 week
HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0
Vince Panaro - 34
Instagram
Has a girlfriend - prior season alternate
Unemployed West Hills, CA
I was ready to give him resounding downs for moping around about going on the block, even before he did, when he had no problems at all about people going up before his turn came along. But the comedy of his egg costume is superb, and he's been a good sport about it, so he gets bounced back up to neutral. His gametalks and especially his campaign pitches have all the sincerity of a desperate used car salesman who just had his credit cards cut off, and it's astounding that so many of them fall for it.

Won: Week 1 immunity; London trip
HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/1 - HN 1
Cliffton "Will" Williams - 50
Instagram - YouTube
Married, 3 kids, 2 stepkids, 9 grands - fan applicant, casual feedster
College sports podcaster Charlotte, NC (orig Wallace, SC)
He's a star for Team Fun Feeds, delivering one good line after another. He's not on feeds enough because he's not a rabid gamer squirrel like virtually all the others are, but that doesn't mean he's not playing. He just gets his game business done in short convos and then moves on to more important things like doing adult diaper commercials.

Won: $10,000; Move-in comp 1; Option to buy safety; Week 1 immunity; Overnight splat task
HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 1
Zach Cornell - 27
Instagram
Single - fan applicant?
Marketing manager Cartersville, GA
He's playing the same tangled web game as Vince, but he's a lot smoother about it. He maybe should have used his $10k veto Monday but he didn't, so we'll see if that pays off or not on Thursday. He's still got one or three more chances to use it, depending if it's a jury of seven or nine. I hope he uses it because it would deliver some entertainment for us, which this cast isn't big on doing. I figure the only reason he told Morgan he has it was to ensure she keeps him over Vince, since she acts like she's so torn between them.
PS If he goes out on Thursday, I wonder if Julie will assault him like she did Marcellas and Lawon. He'd have it coming.

Won: Move-in comp 2; Selected 1st HOH players; Movie guest
HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 1
Jimmy Heagerty - 25
Instagram
Has a boyfriend - fan applicant?
AI consultant Washington, DC (orig Sarasota, FL)
4th evicted - Day 31
He was the 2nd HOH but like Vince the prior week, he was over-allied and self-painted into a corner, so he put up his bestie Rachel's bestie Amy as renom pawn, and off she went. He worked hard at being sassy and campy, especially to and with Rachel, but she pulls it off without even trying and his comedy usually felt more performative than entertaining. But at least he put in an effort, which is more than most of them this year. His dress-up noms were almost as cringe as Todrick's, and that was magnified by his resentment when he hit the block a couple weeks later. He was a good sidekick for Rachel and liked by most of them.

Won: BBBB Week 1
HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/1/0 - HN 0
Adrian Rocha - 23 24
Instagram
Single - fan applicant
Carpenter San Antonio, TX
3rd evicted - Day 24
His pre-season stuff was wild, with his homemade wall comp and boisterous personality, but that guy didn't show up, maybe due to the syndrome of everyone being center-of-attention types and there just isn't enough limelight for everyone. His comp skills were good and he would have been a better choice for Rachel's protegé than Keanu but they had zero rapport, and Adrian's social game was absent with almost everyone. He had his moments with his emotional support bread and issues with doors, but he harped about honesty and loyalty too much so maybe this just wasn't the show for him. But he's a good guy and I wish him well.

Won: Day 1 accomplice
HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/1/0 - HN 1
Amy Bingham - 43
Instagram
Single, 3 kids - fan applicant, prior callback, casual feedster
Insurance agent Stockton, CA
2nd evicted - Day 17
She didn't do as much as some in the 'older woman' casting slot before her, but she got away with being the move-in Accomplice by doing a few tasks without being caught. She and Rachel bonded quickly and tightly as fellow moms, but their closeness made a target of Amy and she got the boot to weaken Rachel's game. She was generally liked in there, and she cried a lot but she handled slop well. She got out by the July 31 deadline to get her job of 20 years back, if she wants it.

Won: Nothing
HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0
Isaiah "Zae" Frederich - 23
Instagram
Single - applied for TAR
Salesperson Provo, UT Phoenix, AZ (orig Paducah, KY)
1st evicted - Day 10
It's nice to get a brojock out early, especially first, and between constantly exhibiting his muscles and his smarts, he didn't do much to help prevent that. He didn't lay down to die when he hit the block so that's something, but he campaigned repetitively and relentlessly, holding voters hostage for hours at a time and talking 100 mph at them without pausing for breath. He landed himself on TMZ and tangled with Rachel, and that's about all he'll be remembered for.

GAME TWISTS
Day 1: Rachel joined the cast and the game.
Day 1: Amy was a secret accomplice. She wasn't identified by a majority of players (or any of them) so remained in the game.
Day 1: Zach won BB Buy-off in Find Julie move-in comp. He got $10k, but if he's on the block at the end of veto meeting any week before jury, he can buy safety. HOH will get the $10k and have to name another nominee.
Day 1: Rachel had first week immunity and automatic Have-not. The other HNs (Ava, Will, Zach) also had immunity.
Day 10: Keanu won Mystery Competitor in HOH comp: an alum will play veto on his behalf if he's on the block, before jury.
> Used Day 12: Kaycee played for him, and won.
Day 10: Kelley won Mystery Veto in HOH comp: can play an individual challenge to win a second veto to save herself or someone else on the block, before jury.
> Used Day 14: won her challenge and took herself off the block.
Day 10: Mickey won HOH Interrogation in HOH comp: can anonymously dethrone reigning HOH, who can interrogate everyone and make an official guess who did it. If correct, they're back to HOH and if not, she reveals herself and becomes HOH, before jury.
> Used Day 24/25: took over Rylie's HOH.
