Big Brother 27 is heating up as another elimination looms. The houseguests are locked in their usual mix of scheming, backstabbing, and scrambling to stay safe. This week, all eyes are on Keanu, the Head of Household, who managed to trip over his own strategy.

He put Vince on the block, then realized way too late that it was a bad move. His attempt to convince Morgan to use her Power of Veto on Vince instead of herself flopped, leaving Mickey, Vince, and Ashley in danger.

Now Vince is trying to outsmart everyone by tricking Mickey into throwing the next BB Block Buster. He’s telling her she already has enough votes to survive, hoping she’ll take it easy while he works the numbers. It’s a risky con, but that’s Big Brother, where trust is about as rare as a quiet day in the house.

How has Vince been surviving so far on Big Brother?

Vince recognizes his precarious position heading into the eviction ceremony on Big Brother. He knows that facing Mickey on elimination night gives him the best chance of staying in the house. The Big Brother houseguests have lost faith in Mickey's reliability, viewing her as more dangerous than Vince. This shift in perception works in Vince's favor for securing votes.

His strategy centers around ensuring Mickey doesn't win the BB Block Buster competition. If she wins, she could remove herself from the block and force him to face Ashley instead. Vince understands that his chances of survival decrease significantly if he's sitting next to Ashley on eviction night. This reality drives his desperate plotting against Mickey.

Vince approached Will with his plan to make Mickey overconfident about her safety. He suggested that Will should encourage Mickey to avoid fighting hard for the BB Blockbuster victory. The scheme relies on Mickey's apparent discomfort with the upcoming vote. Vince noticed she expressed difficulty choosing between him and Ashley for elimination. Will immediately embraced the idea and began spreading it throughout the house. He shared the plan with Ava, who enthusiastically supported the manipulation strategy.

Ava added her own twist by offering to tell Mickey she would vote to keep her over Ashley or Vince. This false promise was designed to increase Mickey's sense of security. Will also presented the scheme to Rachel and Morgan, but they showed more skepticism about its effectiveness. Morgan expressed concerns about Mickey's unpredictable nature as a voter.

Morgan's worry about Mickey's potential betrayal caused Rachel to spiral about Ashley's safety. The fear that Mickey might vote out Ashley created additional anxiety within their alliance. Despite initial doubts, Morgan admitted she preferred preventing Mickey from having voting power this week. She viewed Mickey as too much of a wild card who could damage either side.

Later conversations revealed Mickey had already discussed strategy with Vince. She told Morgan that she and Vince agreed he should win the BB Block Buster competition.

What was the eventual outcome?

Mickey's position as the potential last pre-juror makes this manipulation particularly significant. If the scheme succeeds and she leaves this week, the deception carries no long-term consequences. The Big Brother houseguests continue working to convince Mickey she has sufficient votes to stay safe. This false confidence could lead her to underperform in the crucial competition.

Morgan acknowledged she couldn't pressure Mickey too directly about throwing the competition on Big Brother. Such obvious manipulation might raise Mickey's suspicions and ruin their carefully crafted plan. The success of Vince's scheme depends on whether Mickey truly believes she's secure enough to coast through the BB Block Buster challenge.
