What’s an idea in the Big Brother realm that is so ridiculous no one should ever be foolish enough to do it? If you said winning the Veto when you’re on the Block but then using it on someone else then you’d be ahead of the curve for this weekend on Big Brother 27.
Okay, sure, Tucker did it last season when he saved Angela instead of himself in Week 3 so he could go on to win the AI Arena and secure his own safety after Angela’s. But this ain’t BB26, Tucker isn’t here, and NO ONE should ever do this but that isn’t going to stop Keanu from trying to make it happen.
On Saturday Morgan won the Power of Veto after Keanu sent her to the Block on Friday along with Vince and Mickey. Now Morgan found herself in a huggers-dilemma. When she uses the Veto on herself at the ceremony she will leave Vince there and still in danger. So on Sunday evening Keanu hatched a plan with Vince to try and fix that.
Talking with Vince, Keanu pitched that they would convince/trick Morgan to use the Veto on Vince instead of herself. Keanu would lure Morgan into his trap by promising Lauren as the renom for the spot Vince leaves behind on the Block. The idea there being then everyone could vote out Lauren and dodge having to deal with her in Jury. But instead, Keanu’s real plan would be to renom Ashley.
Keanu was always going to renom Ashley. He was never going to put Lauren on the Block. Keanu has practically no real allies but he does have a few HGs that he’s closer with than others and Lauren falls into that band of misfits like Keanu so he wants to keep her over Ashley who has a network of allies and support. It makes sense for Keanu. What doesn’t make sense is the idea that Morgan would use the Veto on anyone but herself, but all the same that was going to be the pitch.
Keanu brings Morgan upstairs on Sunday evening then tries and tries to lead her to the idea of using it on Vince so she is the one proposing it. Eventually they get to the idea and Morgan laughs out loud at the idea. Keanu pushes on though and says if Morgan saves herself then he’ll renom Ashley, but if she saves Vince then Keanu will treat it as some sort of ally swap or some nonsense like that.
Morgan goes back downstairs and tells Vince that she is not going to do this, but here’s what Keanu was pitching… Now what we know is that Vince already knew the plan and this next phase was for him to try and convince her to do it despite it being a terrible idea. Yes, Vince was straight up lying to Morgan’s face and pretending to not doubt Keanu’s promise to renom Lauren even though he knew it was a trick against Morgan. Who needs enemies when you’ve got an ally like Vince!
Grabbing her M&Ms, Morgan went to work crunching the numbers and voting scenarios. Eventually she came to the conclusion that this was nuts. Meeting again with Vince, Morgan explained that this couldn’t work because they can’t trust Keanu to do what he promises. She accurately questioned why she would have to risk her own game (by not saving herself) to get Keanu to renom Lauren in Vince’s spot when he could just as easily renom Lauren into her own vacated seat on the Block. Yes! Thank you Morgan.
Later that night Keanu admits to Vince that their plan isn’t going to work but Vince says he’s going to give it one last try overnight. And he does, but Morgan isn’t falling into this. She did admit later that she came very close to going for it, thinking she had the votes to stay whether she won the Block Buster or not, but Keanu’s reluctance to renom Lauren in all situations was the red flag she needed.
Can you imagine if this plan had worked and then Morgan discovered that Vince knew about it? Keanu eventually would have ratted Vince out and since Lauren knew about it too she could have made the reveal as well. Just bad stuff all around unless Vince was prepared to cut all ties with Morgan should she survive when she’s one of the few people really trying to help him in the game. Vince truly is a weasel player.
What do you think of Keanu and Vince’s plan? Did it ever have a chance and what would have happened among the HGs if they pulled it off?
