Daily Feeds Recaps
Day 55 - Sunday - August 31, 2025
Over breakfast prep, Morgan asked Rachel what's the hardest part of re-entry back into regular life after BB? Rachel said she had Brendon which helped, then said she'll tell her later, off feeds. Morgan said she thinks the worst will be remembering how to have normal conversations with people, and Rachel said "you wish that's the worst part." (I recall hearing Rachel had a hard time dealing with all the hate she got after her first season. Quite a few from this cast will face a lot of that after this one.) Earlier, Keanu told Kelley they're the only two in there who have competitive spirits, but Lauren's starting to. Kelley said Lauren's competitive spirit is stronger than her own, and they agreed Vince is only still there because of them. Ashley retold her Keanu meeting to Mickey, and Vince told Kelley about Ashley saying she'd have the votes over him, but he didn't tell her that was in a Judges meeting. Kelley told Lauren that Keanu offered her an F2 awhile back, but she'd told him maybe later. Lauren didn't visibly react to that news.
Mickey said she could wear hats again now that she took her hair down, and the others were surprised and delighted to hear hers today is a T'kor creation. She said she got it before last season as they're both "Atlanta girlies" and know of each other. Keanu told Mickey his target is safe so he doesn't care who goes, and he added he's heard whoever's next to Ashley or Ava will go. Mickey pitched that they can benefit each other moving forward. Keanu told Ava she's safe as he doesn't want to weaponize her as a pawn to ensure the other person goes. And he said Mickey pitched her as renom, and he's heard that Ava could go if it's her versus Mickey, so her allies view her as expendable. He said it might be better for Ava to come over to "his side" because Mickey and Will are so close. According to him, the sides for next week if Vince stays would be him, Ava, Kelley, Lauren, Vince, with Rachel, Kelley, Ashley or Mickey, Morgan, Will as the other side. (I'm pretty sure I heard that right, with Kelley on both sides.) He added Morgan's kind of in the middle, but "his" side has the numbers with or without her. Keanu later retold that convo to Vince and to Kelley. Rachel peptalked and coached Vince to fight to stay. Vince and Keanu met again, with Vince saying if he survives, he'll play completely different, he doesn't GAF anymore, and Keanu said Rachel will really come for him (Keanu) now. And he said he'll tell Morgan if she vetos Vince, he'll put up Lauren, but then he'll put up Ashley.
Keanu finally told his plan to Lauren, who said "that's literally insane" when he left. And then he pitched it to Morgan, starting by asking how she'd feel if Lauren went on the block? Morgan said she wants Vince to stay, and Keanu pushed how people don't want Lauren in jury, and he thinks she'd 100% go home no matter what. He said a lot of words about trading two allies for one, and said he'd lose Lauren's trust if she stays (despite guaranteeing she 100% wouldn't). Morgan said "okay let's do this" and she opened her trusty M&Ms. Keanu said "we don't even need to do fuckin M&Ms for that" meaning he'd lose Lauren's trust, but she said she's doing them for votes. Many, many tangents later, she said "imagine if I take Vinny off?" and she laughed, but said she's playing it out as a scenario (due to Keanu's wack pitch about needing to keep his own allies). Morgan said she'll talk to Rachel and Ashley about it, adding "if it does gain me favor, then fuck." Keanu went to grab Vince, saying to himself "this is hilarious, I can't believe this is actually a consideration" but Morgan said to herself "it felt so good to win that veto, and he wants me to use it on Vinny? That doesn't make sense." Vince joined and acted like this was all new to him, and he asked Morgan "you would actually be comfortable with this?" as they clutched hands together. She said "comfortable is a stretch" but eventually said she'd check around and "if I have the votes, I'm willing to fuck around and find out."
Morgan talked it over with herself, and with Vince, saying "if I do this and he burns me and puts up Ashley.." and Vince replied "I don't know why he would do that" knowing full well that is the plan. Morgan also told it to Will, and she wondered at one point why she should have to risk her game to make Keanu happy. When she told Ashley, she said "the only idea I don't like is the one where you don't use it on yourself." It's highly doubtful she'll do it - at least it would be, on a normal season with a normal cast, but this isn't, so we'll see. Related, apparently Kelley found out today that we hear what they say on feeds.
Morgan told Rachel about the pitch to use her veto on Vince as they were cleaning out the fridge, among much clanking and clunking, and Rachel said she was Keanu's original target so she can't do that. Rachel then went to HOH and asked Keanu "what would you think about a possible alliance with Vince and Morgan?" and the two of them arrived just then. Rachel suggested the four of them form an alliance to go to final four, and there were some small agreeing noises, but the idea didn't get rounds of applause or a hands-in. Rachel said there are other options besides Ashley, and again said she won't vote her out. Keanu said "Ava or Ashley is the same fucking thing, but Ashley ensures Mickey goes home." Morgan said they can make that happen no matter who Mickey's up against. Keanu asked Rachel if she'll start targeting him if he puts up Ashley, and Morgan excused herself and Vince. Keanu said he'd warned Rachel from the start Ashley could be his fourth nom, and he questioned if Rachel would still hold it against him if he does it but she stays. Rachel didn't answer directly, but made it clear she wouldn't be happy.
The loops kept looping and looping. Keanu said to Vince if they're just ensuring Ashley goes, "why the fuck don't I just put up Rachel?" Vince woke up at that, and started rattling off Reasons to do that, but Keanu wasn't very receptive. There was also some drama about Ava hearing her name was being thrown around. Morgan told Vince it doesn't make sense to use her veto on him, he crumpled, and she clutched him for yet another extended hug, saying "I love you, hey, you're not gonna go home, we have to fix this mindset of yours" and assorted peptalk. As of now, Morgan will almost surely use her veto on herself, and Keanu will almost surely replace her with Ashley. But as always with this group, it's not set in stone. Yet.

Day 54 - Saturday - August 30, 2025
Last night Ashley talked at length to herself/us again, saying Vince and Morgan on the block this Thursday would be her best scenario, with Vince going, then she could get closer to both Lauren and Morgan. (Last weekend she told us she planned to get closer to Katherine and Keanu. Katherine's history now, but I haven't noticed her working on Keanu much since then.) She said "these dummies think I'm the dummy" and it's true, they do, and she said Mickey belittled her about being put on the block as a big move, which Ashley wouldn't be, and Ashley said to to us "sweetie, that's right where I want to be." She said her ideal F5 would be with Will, Lauren, Rachel, Morgan, and midway through all that she said "America, why the hell is Kelley still here?!" Nobody really knows.
Kelley and Lauren were picked to play veto, Kelley being Keanu's HG Choice. Keanu and Vince celebrated the great draw, and Rachel visited Keanu to ask if he's backdooring her, as the house gossip says. He said no and promised she won't go up as renom, but he couldn't promise he won't go with Ashley or Ava. She reminded him of their Frenemies F2 and said she doesn't have an F2 with anyone else, and she laughed and said she brings him food and is pleasant to have around. When she left, Keanu questioned the house gossip to himself/us, since he never told anyone she'd be renom, adding "it must be fuckin Ashley" spreading that.
Kelley called out across the yard in a loud and perky voice "Rachel, somebody spilled detergent ALL over here by the washer, and I cleaned it up!" Rachel said "aww thanks Kelley, you're the best!" in a sing-song tone. Kelley then sat down with Lauren to tell a grossly exaggerated, embellished version of the wine/door slam/hug rejection events the night of Lauren's birthday, and she said she has so much joy that Keanu picked her to play instead of Rachel. She said Rachel apologized to her yesterday, adding "she wants to establish herself as the queen, she's really scared of me" plus endless Rachel bashes. She said if either of them wins veto they shouldn't use it unless Keanu confirms Rachel will go up, and Kelley also told Lauren that Vince and Morgan were napping "in the same bed" this morning. Rachel told Will she had to apologize to Kelley yesterday for the wine/slam/hug mess, and she thinks Kelley might try to start a fight with her to get her on the block. Will scoffed at the immaturity of it all, like he does. Kelley visited Keanu in HOH to say Rachel and Ashley were staging a fight, and she visited a napping Mickey to say she's sorry she's on the block.
Feeds went to adoptable anipals for the veto comp from a little before noon until 2.30pm. Angela hosted and Morgan won. Competitors were wearing French-style shirts with matching berets, suspenders, and loose neckties. Ashley had a matching outfit so maybe she was picked to host. It was the comp where they had to stack and balance a number of odd-shaped food items and wine glasses. Morgan was wearing the usual full size veto necklace so it wasn't the tiny veto stacker, so let's guess it had a charcuterie board theme (ba-dum-tsss). Feeds came back to Ava and Ashley in a mild panic but they told each other not to panic. Rachel told Mickey and Ashley she has a crazy idea of trying to get Lauren up as renom, to save them both. She offered to make lasagna for Keanu, which he told Ava he knew was a no-renom bribe attempt. He also told Ava he has no intention of putting her up which she was grateful to hear. He said he'd like to "manufacture" Vince staying, and to let people think Ava's still a renom option, but he'd probably go with Ashley. He referenced the "house gossip" Rachel mentioned, and said that had to come from Ashley. Ava said it would be hard to vote her out but she'll think about it. Ava reported to Will, who said tell Keanu whatever he wants to hear, and it's a long time til Thursday.
Keanu told Vince that Morgan's "not necessarily" his target anymore after he had a long talk with her, and he wondered if she'd use her veto on Vince? Vince said he wouldn't ask her to do that. (We'll see - I'll be surprised if he doesn't try.) Keanu and Vince both said Angela gave super long hugs, and Keanu said Ava looked completely different with her hair up, and attractive, "if she didn't have armpit hair, I think I'd uh.." and they laughed. Morgan told Rachel she cried when she won, which surprised her, and Rachel said she understood completely. Morgan said it's one thing to be saved by a vote, but something else to have saved herself.
Morgan and Vince rehashed the comp and she described her winning technique and stacking order, and she said she thinks Rachel still feels betrayed by Keanu. Vince said how Keanu told him he felt a little foolish now for putting one of his friends on the block just to make a statement, and he told Morgan he "thinks" she was the original target (as if Vince didn't have that spelled out to him by Keanu in tremendous detail), and Morgan said she knew that. She said she'd totally use her veto on him if she wasn't on the block. He started to relapse back to mopey, and she peptalked him "don't even start, you are built different, you're going to win this Block Buster, I believe in you, get that doubt out of your head!" And they had a super long hug before leaving the room. Ava told Will she doesn't think Keanu's keeping them off the block because he's a nice guy, it's only because he wants Vince to stay. And she said she knows Will loves Mickey but "I'm voting her out of this house if it's Vinny and Mickey, I don't give a fuck! I don't want to live with her in jury house. Rachel knows how to make wings too, what the fuck."
Rachel and Keanu met in their usual meeting place, and he again assured her he's not putting her up now or for the rest of the game, or pitch for her to go up to others. He said he knows Rachel as renom would ensure Vince stays but if he goes, he goes. Rachel asked if he's considered someone who might win Block Buster? She specified she was not suggesting Kelley, and they got around to Lauren. Unaware Keanu and Vince are back in cahoots, Rachel said Lauren going would weaken Vince and they could guarantee the votes to boot her. Rachel stressed how indecisive and easily manipulated she is, and that she's already targeting Rachel but she could be manipulated to target Keanu too. Keanu said he'd lose any trust he now has with Lauren, and Rachel said she wasn't aware he's working with her, and anyway she's just playing devil's advocate and throwing out scenarios. Keanu said he hadn't even considered her, and "thanks for mindfucking me right now." Keanu took that right to Vince, who didn't fight it as it would guarantee he stays. Keanu said trading Morgan for Lauren would be a lateral move, especially since he's backtracked on his Reason for putting up Vince, but it would guarantee Vince stays. And he told Vince "don't get it twisted, [the pitch] wasn't to save you, they just don't want Lauren in jury." Then they wondered if they could get Morgan to use her veto on Vince, and both of them would stay and Ashley would go. They said they'll think on how to approach Morgan, and Vince said "have her break out the M&Ms." Keanu then reported Rachel's pitch to Lauren, who reported to Vince, so that circle is complete.
Ava made some Squid Game cookies because they're legal for sloppers, as ingredients are just sugar and baking soda. Hers didn't come out quite right because she used baking powder instead of soda, but maybe she'll try again. She and Rachel sat at the hot tub doing their Slop Talk show, and cameras weren't on them when Rachel screamed "emergency!" because she dropped her wedding ring into the hot tub. She ran inside to change into a swimsuit, then ran back out and "dove in face first" into the hot tub, successfully retrieving it. Onlookers were stunned and impressed, and Morgan said "it's like she's in a veto competition!" Renom talks kept coming, but I can't listen to too many of the endless loops, let alone recap them. As of now, the renom is likely Ashley, so I hope she remembers Keanu's two-week safety promise from Thursday night, and brings that up. Keanu's now in the kind of position Vince has been in all season since he's double-dipping all over town. He's a lot more reckless than Vince about telling everyone everything, and he's still unaware of the Judges alliance, which Vince may or may not feel allegiance to, but Morgan definitely does.
The Judges met and suggested Vince not tell Keanu about the Lauren plan (oop, too late), and agreed if it's Ashley, she or Vince absolutely have to win the Block Buster. Ashley said "no offense" to Vince but if it's the two of them, he won't have the votes. And they decided various of them will meet with Keanu and run through all the options. Again. Rachel and Keanu did a second version of their earlier gym meeting, this time in the backyard, with the addition of Rachel tearing up about potentially losing Ashley. Ashley and Rachel talked for a long time and realized Keanu had more ties than they thought. Ashley met with Keanu but it didn't go well. She made good points but he made it clear she'll be the renom, as of now.

Dear Diary, We're in the toughest spot we've ever been in. The fans are screaming at us more than usual because they don't like this year's cast - believe us, we know! We've had to incorporate prior comp titles into current comps because these bozos don't even know they'll need to know them. The new corporate overlords are pressuring us to perform, and not go over budget, and prove our worth. We finally added a shit show side show like everyone wanted and nobody's watching it. And now as we head into the home stretch that always has the most intensive gameplay, the network's bouncing us around to different days and times because we're their lowest priority. It's too much, but all we can do is keep doing what we've always done: dilute days of intense gaming into a few minutes, focus on our colorful competitions, decide whether to add inspirational or clown music, and toss in our favorite overused sound effects. Roll tape.

I'm a competitor so I stacked my charcuterie board in a strategic way like when I ran track in Sacramento after we moved there from Tahoe, did I tell you about the dog I used to have? What's that? No, I don't know anyone named Kelsey. Let me get some M&Ms.

7th evicted - Day 52
She was a non-entity in the game, uninvolved in most gametalks and alliances, and she was largely absent from the shows except when she won a shuffleboard veto. Her only claim to fame was Rylie's attachment to her, and even Diary appearances about that were missing until his HOH was taken over, and then we finally heard her say 'his charm is working' on her. On the feeds he obsessed at and about her nonstop but she didn't reciprocate, at least not openly, though she did initiate a lot of their hug and kiss sessions. When asked if he's her boyfriend she said no, and the very peculiar showmance leaned into major cringe territory as he started snapping at her when he was angry with others.

He came in with rumors that ranged from wildly exaggerated to false, and he did nothing to redeem himself. He threw a hinky vote to evict fellow brojock Zae at the first vote and he boasted he could win any comp, but he only won two. He had a hissy fit when his HOH was taken over by Mickey, and another when Rachel put him up as renom, but most of his frequent angry outbursts were released at Katherine, and then he was friendly to whoever he'd just cussed out. He told Katherine she's his girl and he's going to marry her, but he didn't ask her thoughts about that. He should be grateful AF for the omissions and positive edit they gave him. Good riddance.

He won the first move-in comp but then invaded Julie's personal space and her toss to commercial on the premiere, and a week later he bawled when fellow brojock Zae got the boot. He played the same interwoven alliances game as Vince, including multiple alliances with Vince, but he got away with it longer, until he didn't. Morgan liked him but he liked Lauren, and Ashley thought he liked her but he didn't. He had the face, body, smile, charm of a champ but he self-hyped those qualities too much, making him unattractive. He had a secret veto that could have saved him but he didn't use it, so Julie whacked him with her cards.

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.

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.
> Unused, he went home with the $10k
Day 1: Rachel had first week immunity and automatic Have-not. The other HNs (Ava, Will, Zach, selected by safety chain) also had immunity.
Weeks 1 thru ?: HOH picked three nominees, and veto renom if applicable. The three competed live in BB Block Buster before the vote, and the winner came off the block.
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.
