Lauren is the new Head of Household but it looks like the more things change the more they might stay the same in the Big Brother house.

She is considering repeating Jimmy’s nominations from last week.

After winning the Head of Household competition, Lauren spoke with excited Vince as she gathered her clothes to bring to the HoH room. They hugged each other as Lauren giggled.

“I cannot f—–g believe it! I am happier for your HoH than I was for my own,” said Vince.

Lauren explained that she left everything up to fate when it came to the final showdown with Mickey.

Vince told Lauren that everyone always thought they were the impressionable ones, the over-thinkers.

“Now, they will never call us floaters,” he exclaimed.

Vince offered his help if Lauren needs advice or just someone to bounce ideas off of during her HoH.

Vince informed Lauren that people are saying already that they believe Katherine is going to be in her ear this HoH.

Lauren talked about the alliance she really wants to be part of. She doesn’t trust Katherine being so wound up here and there.

“She can come off a little abrasive sometimes,” said Vince.

Lauren said that after Amy’s eviction she felt an energy “towards” Katherine that was just “weird”.

“I love her and wouldn’t put her up on the block but I want people to know that my game and her game are totally different,” she said.

Her gut feeling is to put up Keanu.

“I think that is a safe play. That would make a lot of people happy and the other two on the block would feel good knowing they are on the block with him,” said Vince.

Vince revealed to Lauren that Keanu believed he had Lauren pegged. That she needs affirmation and physical touch. He instructed Vince to compliments Lauren’s gameplay whenever they are playing pool or other games in the house.

Lauren explained that a lot of people want Kelley on the block but she adores her.

“I would never have put Kelley up on my HoH but she volunteered,” Vince admitted.

Adrian spoke with Lauren later in the HoH room. He apologized for being so quiet during her win but didn’t want to let anyone know they are working together.

“You know me. I am not a liar. I am straightforward with people. The reason I didn’t say much is because Vince wasn’t saying much. I believe Vince has my back and your back. I was talking to Zach and I told him what I am going to tell you…In this room, did he give you any names to put up?” asked Adrian.

Lauren said he gave her opinions but no names.

Adrian said he if he is really close to Mickey, Morgan and Jimmy that doesn’t leave many options. He appreciates that Vince protected him the first week and he doesn’t think he is after them but he is friends with everyone in the house, except maybe Rylie.

This morning, Keanu was the very first houseguest to meet with Lauren in the HoH. He pitched to her why she shouldn’t nominate him as he is good for her game. If she views him as an ally, she shouldn’t put him in danger. He pointed out that Jimmy lied to him about voting for Zae. He offered a deal to Jimmy and he reneged on it. Lauren explained to Keanu that he might be a pawn so he could win the veto.

“I am not pawn material. If I don’t win veto or the Block Buster, I am going home,” he said.

Rachel was next.

“I am putting up who a lot of people are thinking of,” said Lauren. Rachel asked if that was Keanu. Lauren nodded.

“A lot of people are saying Kelley’s name but I don’t necessarily want to do that,” said Lauren.

“What do you want to do?” asked Rachel.

“Well, I don’t want to put anyone up but that is what HoH is,” said Lauren asking Rachel for her opinion.

“I think you should do what is best for your game not Zach’s,” answered Rachel saying Lauren shouldn’t play for the boys.

Kelley was next to chat with Lauren. Kelley is sure that if she is on the block against Ashley she has the votes to stay. She believes there is nine. With Will, she thinks the vote will be close.

Kelley warned that Jimmy doesn’t have anyone’s back.

“I like the idea of putting me up just to throw people off the idea of how close we are,” said Kelley.

Talking to Zach, Lauren told him that Will didn’t even come to speak to her today. When she sought him out, he was very abrupt with her saying he already knew he was going up and it sucks that he will be a perpetual pawn.

“If someone talked to me like that I would put them up,” said Zach.’

Zach asked where she is leaning for the third nomination.

“Will,” Lauren answered. “I just don’t want to piss people off.”
