Daily Feeds RecapsDay 48 - Sunday - August 24, 2025 In the overnight report, Ashley talked to us for a long time, saying she's ready to launch Operation Save Rachel because "it's a triple play" - Rachel would use veto on her if needed, Rachel would go if they're on the block together, and Rachel's her favorite to hang out with. She said it's getting harder to keep up the dumb act in there and make dumb jokes all the time, but she studied Elle Woods in Legally Blonde to prepare before going in. And she said she needs to up her social game beyond her allies now, with her best bets being to buddy up with Katherine and Keanu. Upstairs, Morgan worked on Vince all night, literally. She didn't leave HOH until 6.30am. About an hour before that, she said she wishes she wasn't a Have-not so she could just sleep in there, and he said "I wish you could." He patted the bed next to him, she cozied in, and his hand went into her sleeve. It should be noted he's said his girlfriend gave him permission to flirt in there if needed, but this stuff is whipping the fanbase into a frenzy. The yard finally opened and laundry rotation finally started again. Rachel made slop for the sloppers and French toast for Lauren's birthday. Mickey said she had a dream that she can't trust Vince anymore. Will told Ava he'll take the shot at Rachel when the time comes, but that's part of the Judges' plan to keep Rachel from being renom, along with pushing the value of Judges loyalty and safety-in-numbers to Vince. Morgan went right back to HOH this morning to hammer at Vince some more, and he kept falling back on his poor-me routine because he doesn't want to upset people or make them mad. His dilemma is his own doing of course, by thinking he could ally with everyone and get away with it, and maybe that realization struck him because at one point his lashed out angrily, saying he's being pushed around and "I'll do what the fuck I want to, how about that?!" Morgan's patience was admirable, as she continued to talk and push, and talk some more, and at one point she petted him when he crashed down next to her on the bed. Will met with Vince and asked if he's with Judges? Vince said he needs someone to trust due to the "unbelievably blind lack of faith" surrounding him. Four Judges finally met in HOH, less Ashley who was shmoozing Mickey in the yard. Vince kept sidetracking the renom convo by rehashing the comp, and we finally learned that the game part entailed selecting drinks served up by the prior round winner and hoping they didn't pick the "poisoned" one, something like that. Vince ran his tired loops about Katherine, Lauren, Kelley, Keanu being mad if he puts one of them up. Rachel figured out Keanu has been pushing for her or Ashley to be renom, so something's sure to come from that, it's just a matter of what and when. (And so it did later.) Katherine made a BB-patented awkward entrance when she arrived to find Rachel, Morgan, Vince in convo. Rachel and Morgan left, and Vince went back to his angry resentment loops to rehash the comp yet again. Katherine said she obviously doesn't want to be the renom. Kelley joined to suggest they get Mickey to use her veto on Ava by saying he'll put up Keanu (what?), and she (Kelley) has been on a cleaning strike all week so Rachel would keep her over Ashley (what?), and Katherine said Rachel's just here to boost her brand back up (what?). Vince told Mickey "I'm so happy you won veto" (what?) and "I don't want to play a safe game" (what?) and he said three people have already said they'd vote for Rachel if she's in finals, and it only takes four votes to win. Rachel met with Keanu, and she dressed for the occasion, like she does. He entered the gym/conference room saying he doesn't want her on the block, so in case she heard some bullshit that he said that, it's not true. He kept up the hyper proactive defense throughout, she stayed perfectly calm, and he said Vince wouldn't have the nerve to put her up, and she pretended to go along with it. Rachel then had a quick check-in Vince, who implied Keanu does bring her name up, and wasn't Keanu wanting Rachel and Vince to work together for weeks? Rachel went back to Keanu to ask if he told Vince he won't take a shot at Rachel but he doesn't care if someone else does? Keanu sputtered, huffed, and denied. Kelley told Lauren and Katherine that Vince is considering them for renom, which irritated them obviously, and Kelley told Katherine if she goes on the block, she'll spend the rest of her time there ensuring Rachel has zero jury votes, and she'll throw the Block Buster to her (Katherine) so she stays. Keanu and Kelley agreed Vince is as bad as Lauren about making decisions. Vince told Lauren that Katherine is an option, and when she questioned the indecisive juror issue about herself, Vince said Rachel has now said she wants Lauren there more than Kelley. Lauren said she hates this game, she's not usually negative "but today just sucks" and she cried. Keanu then pitched Will as renom to Vince.The convos raged on and on and on, with Vince lying to each side, and retells and followups happened all over town after each meeting. Vince told Mickey that he will decide tonight, and he'll only let her and Morgan know what that decision is - arguably the two chattiest retellers in there.   Unlocked was just a half hour, with Boston Rob as the guest host, and a periodic countdown clock showing the time left til the regular episode (oof). It had the usual segments plus Jerry O'Connell from the lake ragging on Derrick for his picks on the last show, and a cute home visit with Will's wife Gwen, and their kids and grandkids. And they did a fun behind-the-scenes segment about building the wall comp that was interesting but far too short, with tidbits saying the total weight is 18 tons and they go through 200 gallons of slime. They should do more of that kind of thing. Rob, Derrick, Taylor tried out the wall and did a tilt rotation and steam burst. The "special announcement from a BB legend" wasn't anything about a February short season, it was Nicole F with her Wine and Whine segment, announcing she and Victor are expecting again.  While feeds were in HOH, there was a whole lot of loud SCREAMING which turned out to just be a delivery of pool floaties. But a little later Lauren got a call to go to the pantry where booze awaited along with birthday supplies. Everyone ended up in there and they faced one of the wall cams for a group shot as if they're a big happy family that hasn't been trashing each other for days. Rachel got to making the cake, and dinner, and the rest of them continued to pull Vince in different directions about his renom decision. Morgan and Ashley compared notes about Rachel running back to Keanu because Vince told her he (Keanu) has been pushing her for renom, making Vince mad. They said if Rachel goes up it's her own fault, and Ashley said if she goes home, they're sunk and won't get to F5.Family dinner was served for Lauren's birthday, pizza and mac 'n cheese plus wine and miniature party hats, which Lauren said was her ideal birthday meal, and cake decorated with another frosting portrait by Ava. Lauren gave a gratitude speech, and everyone said something nice about the person next to them, at Ava's suggestion. And they sang Happy Birthday, less Ava and Morgan who'd gone out to the hot tub.   There was some drama afterwards, with Kelley telling Vince that Rachel poured more wine while Vince was saying something nice, and that Rachel slammed a door getting a White Claw. Ashley and Morgan reported that to Rachel who said "I can't handle this level of dramada" and they said she had to talk to Vince so he doesn't think Rachel's upset with him, adding "be nice" when Rachel left to find him. She pulled Vince into the lounge and said Kelley and Katherine are just trying to start things so Rachel goes up instead of Katherine, and she added she didn't even want the White Claw, she just didn't want Kelley to have it, "just me being a petty bitch." She said Vince just needs to "stick to the plan, stick to the alliance, but sure let's make good TV." And she said in her day, people stuck with their alliances, and she's done 18 shows in 15 years and viewers know her and her loyalty, and we're screaming at him asking what's his problem? If she's coming to him and trusting him, he's got to stick to it. Ashley and Morgan followed up with Vince, Morgan brought out her M&Ms, and Vince griped about Rachel telling Keanu what he'd told her in confidence. If he does end up putting her on the block, that's likely to be his Reason. Nevermind that everyone else, especially Keanu and Morgan, retell everything they hear.  Vince kept getting talked at by a rotating series of hamsters coming into his room, even when he collapsed onto his bed. Kelley went for hugs at the hammock, chirping "good night" to Mickey, and Morgan. When she chirped "good night Rachel" Rachel said "that's okay, I don't need a hug." Kelley asked why, and Rachel said she doesn't want a hug, "there's nothing wrong with that." Kelley said "is it 'cause I won't clean?" and Rachel said "yeah Kelley, that's exactly what it is, 'cause you're not cleaning" a bit sarcastically. Afterwards Will told Rachel he couldn't look at her or he'd burst out laughing. Kelley went to HOH and sniffled a little, then called for Keanu to come in, and said "it's Rachel, she's so mean! I've never been talked to that way" and she fell into his arms sobbing, and/or fake sobbing, and she said something about Rachel saying there wasn't room for Kelley to sit somewhere. Rachel retold to Mickey and Will at the hammock about the White Claw situation, adding she'd poured it down the drain, and the wine pour situation. Retells ensued, like they do. Ashley, Mickey, Will agreed every time they feel like giving Kelley a break, she pulls something like this. The complete ridiculousness of this season never lets up. Ashley told Rachel she needs to chill because renom is looming, and that she'd been in the clear until Keanu ratted her out to Vince. Rachel said "I fucking hate him" about Keanu, and later she said she's "fooled no longer, tell my husband."Vince disappeared into Diary for about three hours and Morgan got on him as soon as he came out. She told him about the drama he missed and how messy Kelley had been after causing the problems she was crying about. I don't know if or how long it'll take to get around to Vince's renom decision, so I'll catch that up in the morning, assuming he's even made a decision yet.

Day 47 - Saturday - August 23, 2025 Late night catchup: Vince sounded almost sincere when he told Ashley and Morgan he wants Kelley out before jury, and he even got a little heated when he retold some argument she'd made about something irrelevant and stupid, adding she wouldn't be receptive to any jury discussions that didn't agree with her thoughts. Morgan said she'd rather Kelley be in jury than Lauren, due to her mousy indecisiveness. This morning Ava wondered about likely viewer favorite winners, and if it could be her. Vince said it's usually people like returning players, or underdogs like Kelley or Keanu. (True, but that also let him plant some bonus anti-Rachel, anti-Keanu, and anti-Kelley seeds.) Kelley started cutting out birthday letters for Lauren from cereal boxes, and then deflated a fun convo about favorite shows and cartoons growing up by saying she wasn't allowed to watch most of them. Mickey told Ava she'd rather be on the block for something she did than something she didn't, as she now believes, and she said "me coming off is the best situation to us" - to Ava, who's also on the block. Keanu said he thinks the accomplice is still in the house, and is America's Player. Will told Morgan that Vince needs to let them know who the renom would be (good luck with that), and Morgan said Keanu's pushing for Rachel, adding Vince doesn't need to do Keanu's dirty work. Keanu and Rachel had another spat in the bathroom, with Rachel saying she knows she'll go up if Kelley comes off the block. Keanu said it'd probably be Ashley (as if he hasn't been pushing Rachel nonstop to Vince), and Rachel said she'll win Block Buster if she goes up and "I will wreak havoc on the fucking house." Keanu said she threatened him with that, she said she didn't, she apologized, he said she needs to trust him and she said she does. After Vince's big anti-Kelley rant last night, he went on an anti-Rachel rant to Kelley today, she agreed throughout, and he said "Mickey, Rachel, or Ashley have to go this week." Morgan went on an angsty anti-Lauren rant to Vince, followed by some near-cuddling. Vince retold his "sympathy vote" and "Lauren hasn't admitted Rachel named Rylie" lies a few more times here and there, and several others said Keanu's running his HOH. Mickey did some pitching to Ashley, Will, and to Keanu, with some added shmoozing. It's become clear that Vince's plan to get himself out of the corner he's painted himself into is to cause friction between various people so they'll go after each other rather than him. I'd say it's too little/too late for that tactic, but this group is highly suggestible and gullible, so it could work for him. Time will tell.Adoptable anipals finally arrived at 3pm, extremely late for veto picks, which caused restlessness in there and out here. Keanu and Will were drawn to play, along with Vince, Ava, Kelley, Mickey, and Morgan to host. Rachel, Will, Vince shmoozed each other in HOH, with Vince telling Will to do whatever he thinks is best if he wins, or to throw it if he wants to avoid that mess. Rachel stressed their Judges alliance is strong and they can go to the end together if they stick together.  Adoptable anipals returned at 7pm for their veto comp, the latest start this season so far, and feeds returned around 10.45pm. Mickey won the veto and she and Rachel did a hug/jump celebration in the pantry, like proper hamsters, and Rachel said "now it's time to get Kelley out." They were all dressed in formal wear. Ashley said she knew the label of her dress and that it probably runs $295. The comp was introduced as "a game of deception" and it was played in knockout type rounds where the winner challenged someone or eliminated them. Vince came in second. I don't know what the game itself was, but it was a game of chance. Ava made a joke they all loved, "I heard the Hog Father sent you" - I guess we had to be there. Apparently Kelley and Keanu both screwed up (according to Vince) and let Mickey slide through. Morgan went to HOH and Vince asked if she could come up later to talk and of course she said she would. (This after the fanbase ran rampant on their touchy-feely angsty flirting this afternoon.) Vince switched rapidly between his poor-me victim and angry resentment personas as various others cycled through HOH. The poor-me was about how much pressure he'll get from everyone, with four pushing Rachel or Ashley for renom, and four pushing Katherine, and a lot of deep sighs about how bad he is at Big Brother, "my game's over," "why is this game so hard for me?" and how many mistakes he's made. The angry resentment was partly about Keanu and partly Kelley for screwing up the comp, and how everyone on Rachel's side will come at him if he puts up her or Ashley. When he confronted Keanu about giving Mickey a bye, Keanu said "hmm I don't want her to think I'm coming after her like that, so either way doesn't matter." Recall that Keanu really wants Rachel in one of those seats Thursday night, so of course he'd give one of the nominees an advantage. Vince threw his hands up with Lauren, saying nothing's gone right "since Ava started this trend of putting me on the block" and "why is Rachel untouchable? Let's just stop the season now! Production! Hand Rachel the 750k." The highlight came when he told Lauren her name has been pitched to boot before jury because she's indecisive. She exploded "what kind of stupid fuckin bullshit is that?! Who told you that?" He said Rachel (it's been mostly Morgan), and Lauren revved up "what do you mean I'm indecisive? I mean I understand what indecisive is" and she pantomimed "ohhh I don't know what to dooo." You couldn't make it up if you tried. Then Kelley joined Vince and said it looks like he'd had chosen the other side since he voted out Adrian and Rylie, and put her up, which she did not in fact volunteer for this week, as Vince led us to believe. And Kelley said she would have used the veto on Ava if she'd won, just to do something wild. Midnight came along and feeds stayed on Vince and Kelley in HOH, with Morgan in the HOH bathroom, when the "Happy Birthday" song could be heard downstairs for Lauren's 23rd. Vince told Kelley when they parted he's sorry he hasn't been as good a friend to her as she's been to him. Growth, maybe? She said "can't argue with that." He then told Ava his options are Ashley, Keanu, Rachel, but he doesn't want to put up Keanu.If you missed what came before, click "Previous Hamsterwatch episode" up top, or hit my season index page.
