Big Brother Season 27 Episode 31 Recap: After Keanu gets chosen as a replacement nominee, he wins the BB Blockbuster while Rachel talks to the show host
The recently released Big Brother Season 27 episode started with the remaining housemates. This included Ava, Ashley, Kelley, Keanu, Lauren, Morgan, Vince, and Will. Originally nominated housemates for the week were Ashley, Will, and Morgan.
However, with a Veto, Morgan was safe, and Keanu was chosen as the replacement nominee. Hence, he would go through the BB Blockbuster along with Ashley and Will. Housemate Vince found himself in a difficult situation between Morgan and Lauren.
While the current Head of Household (HOH), Lauren, has been spending more time with him, Morgan has also gotten quite closer to him over time. But Vince's actions from the recent White Locust challenge led him to a difficult situation between the two. Morgan also told him that his being with Lauren has been "extremely hurtful" for her.
Additionally, after HOH Lauren chose Keanu as the replacement nominee for the week, the two were not on good terms with each other. It was because he told her that he would be targeting her along with Vince and Morgan, in the next week.
While housemates faced such situations, recently eliminated housemate Rachel Reilly talked to the Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves. She talked about Ava, Vince, and how things have been with her in the house. Rachel also recalled the elimination task, where she wanted to go first. At the time, she had a flashback of her previous times in the BB House, and that led to her being in a panic.
Rachel also shared her thoughts on Keanu and that she respected his game and strategy. However, she referred to him as a "messy" contestant. She concluded her interview by stating that Big Brother was her favorite show and she was still a "huge fan" of the show.
