It was OTEV time in the Big Brother house and we have a VETO winner.

Lauren won the Power of Veto after three rounds in the competition.

Earlier, Rachel held court with Keanu in the kitchen as they got up this morning.

“Lauren won’t go home,” insisted Keanu.

“She might go home,” answered Rachel. “I am not putting Lauren on the block.”

“Vince cannot go home,” insisted Keanu. “He is a vote for us to take Mickey out.”

“He won’t go home,” said Rachel.

“Mickey can stay if he is not one of our votes,” Keanu pleaded. “You cannot miss. This is a big shot. You cannot miss.”

Kenau asked Rachel to pick him for veto competition.

“You know I can’t, obviously,” she laughed as she filled up the kettle. “You just told me you are going to use the veto on him.”

“Pick me and we will talk about it,” said Keanu.

In the storage room, Keanu repeated the fact that Mickey is the target but Morgan would be a good “consolation prize” if she went home instead.

“If Mickey wins HoH next week we are going on the block especially if she came to you talking all that s—t trying to get you to put me up and you still nominated her. That screams we are working together,” said Keanu.

“I told you, you cannot pretend in this game. You cannot pretend not to be working together. It is obvious,” said Rachel.

Vince, Morgan and Mickey talked strategy in the Have-Not room. They believe the competition will involve spelling.

“She is sweet but sweet doesn’t mean anything but sweet,” said Mickey about Lauren. “She is not going to sacrifice anything.

“She teared up a little about Zach but my thing is I cried like f—–g tears. I am closer to him than her,” said Morgan.

Vince is wondering if he could get Lauren to throw the competition as that would give them a better chance of winning.

“If we could get Lauren to toss it that increases our odds by one more person,” he said.

Meanwhile, Vince and Morgan chatted about convincing Lauren to throw the competition.

“I think I am going to tell her that the best case scenario is that she doesn’t win it,” said Vince.

“I am really annoyed with a lot of people. I am not here to play nice anymore,” said Morgan.

“You have to make Lauren understand if she chooses not to use the veto she is risking having two people who have her back going home,” said Morgan.

“I am going to treat lightly but I want to make a very strong point,” said Vince.

Morgan wonders if Lauren can “change her ways”. Morgan and Vince agreed that it is Lauren’s time to make a big play.

After the competition, Keanu, Lauren and Kelley chatted in the HoH room after everyone had cleaned up, got all the mud out of their hair.

Kelly asked Lauren if she was going to use the power. She said she needed to speak to Vince but she doesn’t want to put Kelley or Keanu “in danger”.

“I have a feeling I would go up and I have already taken myself down enough times,” said Kelley.

“I know I put you both on the block but I don’t want you to go home,” said Lauren.

They spoke about how Mickey got angry when Kelley said ‘Welcome to the block’ when she and Morgan got nominated. Kelley said Mickey won’t speak to her. She was just stating a fact and kidding around.

“They are grown ass women. They should understand,” said Keanu.

Kelley maintained she wasn’t being malicious.
