HOLLYWOOD—It has been a season people; however, all good things must come to an end. We are in the final week of “Big Brother 27” and the endgame is forming in a way that is slightly intriguing. The final BB Blockbuster and the Double Eviction was unleashed on Thursday with some fun and disappointing results at the same time.
I will admit last week was fun as hell on the feeds. Vince had put his so-called number 1, Lauren on the block despite her advocating for herself. Yeah, you don’t have to like it, but that was Morgan’s move. The gamer came to play and she played. It is almost like Chelsea getting Makensy to nominate Leah during her HOH last season, but I found this move more impressive because Vince had no reason to put Lauren up when Ashley was sitting right there!
Vince whined and whined about the move, but he made it and it was this constant back and forth about who would go home during the first eviction, Lauren, Keanu or Kelley and all 3 could have gotten the boot. It was all dependent on who would win the final BB Blockbuster, and after seeing that tease, it feels like the competition was designed for Keanu, but nope, he did horrible, and Lauren secured her safety.
In the process we got a 2-2 tie, with Vince having to break it live on TV, and he sent Kelley packing. He was never your ally Kelley, if you didn’t figure that out after the week 1, week 3 and week 6 betrayals I don’t know what to tell you.
Hate to say it, but I secretly wanted Lauren to win HOH. Why? It is more exciting to see someone betrayed by an ally, survive, gain power and strike back. Would Lauren had done it? I don’t know, but it was possibility. However, this double eviction HOH would be crucial and guess who won it, Morgan! It was a bit of a crapshoot, that involved a bit of skill. Morgan was ecstatic and took that shot at Lauren, nominating her nemesis alongside Keanu.
In a tight POV, Keanu and Morgan went to a tiebreaker, where Keanu saved himself with the POV, which Morgan needed to happen otherwise she wouldn’t have had the votes to send Lauren packing. Keanu would have went home, as a result of Vince and Ava both voting to protect Lauren. However, Keanu and Ashley voted in alignment and Lauren was sent to the jury house, alongside Kelley.
Our final five consists of Keanu, Vince, Morgan, Ava and Ashley, and who would have guessed a Final Four endurance competition, similar to the one that Leah dominated last season that went into the wee hours of the morning, almost 10 hours. Oh, not this one, it barely went an hour, with Vince capturing his fourth, yes, fourth HOH, and it seems like he FINALLY took out a threat this go around.
Why? He nominated Keanu and Ava, but thoughts were lingering about Morgan being a goner, especially with Ashley, Keanu and Ava realizing if you sit next to her in the final 2 you’re likely not winning.
However, this was a sped-up week with nominations and the veto competition both taking place Friday night. When the dust settled Morgan earned her fourth consecutive POV securing her safety and securing that Keanu would be headed to the jury house. Great competitor, but horrible social game, if not for the BB Blockbuster he would have been gone weeks ago.
The final 4 HOH would be pivotal because if Ava or Ashley managed to win, they could take a possible shot at Vince or Morgan. If Morgan wins, and secures the POV or Vince does its likely Ava or Ashley will hit jury, and it looks like Vince and Morgan will take one another to the final two, but if Vince, and it’s a big ‘IF’ cuts Morgan for Ava or Ashley in the final two, talk about a brutal blindside people because I don’t think Morgan would see that coming.
Well forget all the speculation because Morgan secured her place on finale night, winning a physical Final Four HOH, which means this POV is pivotal for all 4 players remaining. Forget about the POV because Morgan became the first player this season to win HOH and POV in the same week, securing Vince’s safety and putting the power in his hands to send Ashley or Ava to the jury house.
Rarely, do you see such tension or excitement in the endgame of “Big Brother” so the intrigue is there, but it all comes down to Vince: Does he make the move to send Ashley out and increase his chances of going to the final 2? I think he goes no matter if Ashley, Ava or Morgan is in the final 3. They all take him; the problem is his win equity is not strong.
Morgan is in the driver seat, she just has to finish strong, and she would be a worthy winner to a season that had a twist that united this fanbase in a way I’ve never seen. Lesson to the producers, don’t do stupid things, because upsetting the fanbase is the worst thing you can do. However, it has been a fun ride BB fanatics!
