Cracks are appearing in the alliance between Ashley and Mickey just as Rylie and Katherine appear to be growing closer.

Bouncing thoughts around in the HoH room, Ashley and Mickey rubbed each other the wrong way with Will sitting idly by watching it all go down.

“I wouldn’t have put him up. I am indifferent about the whole Jimmy thing,” said Ashley.

“If he goes home that is good for you that’s for sure because you would definitely be the third nomination,” said Mickey.

“Not now,” replied Ashley.

“Okay,” said a frustrated Mickey.

“Not now,” repeated Ashley.

“I don’t believe THAT Ashley,” said Mickey.

“I do,” said Ashley returning fire.

“You will be a third nom regardless,” said Mickey.

“I don’t think so,” she said as Will looked on in amusement.

“Well, I don’t have any more powers, Pokey,” snapped Mickey.

“You just put him up though. That changes everything,” laughed Ashley.

“It doesn’t change anything,” snapped Mickey again.

“It does,” Ashley disagreed.

Mickey stated she thinks the people who are playing both sides should go home going forward.

“That is not what I am saying. His mindset is going to be different,” said Ashley.

When Mickey left the HoH room, Ashley and Will criticized Mickey. Ashley claimed that Mickey was trying to pick her brain for information she will not get.

“That was awkward,” admitted Will.

“She thinks she can control what I do. The problem is, I am not playing your game, baby girl!” said Ashley. “If she keeps playing me I will win HoH and put her ass on the block!”

“It is weird for her to think that nothing has changed since she put Jimmy up. If nothing was going to change why put him up?” asked Will.

“And she said the people who rock with me will rock with me? Girl, you are on the bottom of their list,” Ashley laughed.

“She is delusional. She thinks that I am going to play her game. I really think she thinks that. Babe, this is for a check of $$750,000. I just met you!” said Ashley chuckling.

“Facts,” said Will.

“She thinks I am dumb. They all do,” said Ashley.

“By the way, I need you to be my lawyer when I leave here. I will have you on retainer. I don’t know if we will ever use you,” joked Will.

The conversation went back to Mickey.

“She is getting full of herself. The funny thing is, I don’t see a path for her to make final five right now,” said Ashley complaining that getting Jimmy out isn’t a big move for her resume but for other people but Morgan played Mickey just right.

“He was never going after her,” Will agreed.

Sitting on the couch in the backyard with Ava just feet away in the hammock, Rylie and Katherine confided their true feelings to one another.

“You are officially the reason I am here for another week. I appreciate that so much,” said Katherine.

They then hugged each other as Rylie rubbed her back.

“You are sweet. I would do anything for you. I would do everything I can for you,” Rylie whispered into her ear.

“I will do whatever I have to in this game, in this house, in this life to see you go far. These people see how much I actually care about you,” said Rylie as they ended their hug. “You are my girl.”

“I look forward to seeing you every single day that we are in here. You are the favourite part of my days in here,” said Katherine.

HoH Mickey has nominated Jimmy, Kelley and Rylie for eviction. Keanu took himself off the block with the Power of Veto. His third win in a row.
