This is a big shot. You cannot miss.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kenau asked Rachel to pick him for veto competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know I can\u2019t, obviously,\u201d she laughed as she filled up the kettle. \u201cYou just told me you are going to use the veto on him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPick me and we will talk about it,\u201d said Keanu.<\/p>\n<p>In the storage room, Keanu repeated the fact that Mickey is the target but Morgan would be a good \u201cconsolation prize\u201d if she went home instead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Mickey wins HoH next week we are going on the block especially if she came to you talking all that s\u2014t trying to get you to put me up and you still nominated her. That screams we are working together,\u201d said Keanu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told you, you cannot pretend in this game. You cannot pretend not to be working together. It is obvious,\u201d said Rachel.<\/p>\n<p>Vince, Morgan and Mickey talked strategy in the Have-Not room. They believe the competition will involve spelling.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-129377\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/lauren-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"  \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-129377\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lauren Domingue.

I am closer to him than her,\u201d said Morgan.<\/p>\n<p>Vince is wondering if he could get Lauren to throw the competition as that would give them a better chance of winning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we could get Lauren to toss it that increases our odds by one more person,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Vince and Morgan chatted about convincing Lauren to throw the competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I am going to tell her that the best case scenario is that she doesn\u2019t win it,\u201d said Vince.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am really annoyed with a lot of people. I am not here to play nice anymore,\u201d said Morgan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to make Lauren understand if she chooses not to use the veto she is risking having two people who have her back going home,\u201d said Morgan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am going to treat lightly but I want to make a very strong point,\u201d said Vince.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan wonders if Lauren can \u201cchange her ways\u201d. Morgan and Vince agreed that it is Lauren\u2019s time to make a big play.<\/p>\n<p>After the competition, Keanu, Lauren and Kelley chatted in the HoH room after everyone had cleaned up, got all the mud out of their hair.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly asked Lauren if she was going to use the power. She said she needed to speak to Vince but she doesn\u2019t want to put Kelley or Keanu \u201cin danger\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a feeling I would go up and I have already taken myself down enough times,\u201d said Kelley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know I put you both on the block but I don\u2019t want you to go home,\u201d said Lauren.<\/p>\n<p>They spoke about how Mickey got angry when Kelley said \u2018Welcome to the block\u2019 when she and Morgan got nominated. Kelley said Mickey won\u2019t speak to her. She was just stating a fact and kidding around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are grown ass women. They should understand,\u201d said Keanu.<\/p>\n<p>Kelley maintained she wasn\u2019t being malicious.<\/p>\n<p>HoH Rachel has put Mickey, Morgan and Vince on the block.<\/p>\n<p>Big Brother airs Wednesdays (8:00-9:30 PM, ET\/delayed PT) and hour-long shows on Thursdays and Sundays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET\/delayed PT).<\/p>\n<p>Return here for interviews, spoilers and live feed updates all season long.<\/p>\n<p>You can catch up on the latest episodes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globaltv.com\/shows\/big-brother\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globaltv.com\/mickey-rages-against-the-rachel-show-after-hitting-the-block\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mickey Rages Against \u201cThe Rachel Show\u201d After Hitting the Block<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stacktv.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-129072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bb25_image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"610\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globaltv.com\/zach-on-why-didnt-use-his-power-and-why-he-still-has-no-regrets\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zach on Why Didn\u2019t Use His Power and Why He Still Has No Regrets<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By John Powell \u2013 GlobalTV.com It was OTEV time in the Big Brother house and we have a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[64,63,134,427],"class_list":{"0":"post-74255","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
