Big Brother Season 27 Episode 33: Vince revealed Lauren's name as the replacement nominee for the upcoming eviction
Thirty minutes before the Veto meeting, where Vince had to announce the replacement nominee, he had a private chat with Morgan. Big Brother's Keanu wished for Morgan to have her Veto used on him. However, she didn't. Vince confessed that his goal was to get Kelley out of the BB House.
"I know Morgan and Ashley are going to evict Kelley no matter what. That means I would break a tie. And I am more than happy in breaking the tie publicaly and sending Kelley out of this house," confessed Vince.
After Vince announced Lauren as the replacement nominee, Morgan confessed to the cameras about Vince following through. She also discussed her disagreements with Vince over the same topic.
"So this gesture that he made today means a lot to me," confessed Morgan.
Fellow housemate Kelley confessed that one of her favorite people, Ava, was safe with Morgan's Veto. However, her other favorite person, Lauren, took her place. She noted that she was ready for her Blockbuster win.
Big Brother star Lauren reacted to Vince choosing her as the replacement nominee:
"I'm so upset with Vinny right now. I don't understand why he would do this, especially after literally everything I've done for his game. I guess Vinny thought it was easier to upset me than to upset Morgan. I am extremely upset and frustrated. But I can't show it at all."
While Lauren rushed to the bathroom, Kelley was waiting for her there. On the other hand, Vince, Morgan, and Ashley were in the Head of Household (HOH) room. He noted that Lauren didn't "even look" at him when she walked past him.
He said that choosing Lauren as the replacement nominee makes him look bad. However, both Morgan and Ashley disagreed with him. Big Brother's Morgan told him that everyone would look at his decision as a "game move."
"This is the part where she has to play the game," said Morgan.
In his private confession, Vince said he felt as if he was "forced" to put his "final two" Lauren on the chopping block. Morgan continued to tell him that he was playing his game and that Lauren had to play Big Brother.
Later, Lauren had a private chat with Vince. He said that he was "forced" to choose her as the replacement nominee. She said he could have selected Ashley, and then there was a chance that either she or Keanu would be going home.
Soon, Morgan joined the conversation and asked Lauren if she was alright. When she was alone, Morgan recalled what Vince told her. He mentioned his ideal top three as himself, Morgan, and Lauren. She did not like it.
Big Brother star told the cameras that if Vince thought she was going to let that happen, then he was "tripping."
