Rachel calls out players for trying to manipulate fellow houseguest

It’s been a tense Big Brother house this past weekend after Rachel Reilly’s moves. Rachel won the latest Head of Household Competition and was keen to use that power. As previously reported by Tea on TV, Rachel had a plan she wanted to push.

The new HOH nominated Morgan, Mickey, and Vince for eviction. That trio has been working together this summer, and Rachel wanted to take a big swing. Mickey and Morgan didn’t handle the nominations well, and that could hurt them if they both survive the week.

Over the weekend, Lauren won the Veto Competition. She was an outlier in the OTEV Challenge, but she came through with a big win. Rachel didn’t want her to use the POV, and she sprang into action to have Keanu convince Lauren to put it in her pocket.

Later, several other players approached Lauren to convince her to use the POV. It now appears that Lauren will save Vince, forcing Rachel to name a replacement nominee. But Rachel doesn’t want to be in that position.

Rachel calls out Vince and Morgan

Understandably, Vince and Morgan are trying to survive this week by getting Lauren to use the Power of Veto. They want one of them to get off the block and be replaced with someone the house can target for eviction. Maybe Keanu. Rachel got upset about how Lauren was approached. That wasn’t a surprise. Still, it led to some drama. Again.

Morgan claimed she wouldn’t pressure Lauren, while Vince said he would never “cross that line” to manipulate her. Rachel explained how she saw Lauren on the verge of tears.

What do you think about this situation? Do you think it is fair game to try to pressure someone into making a game move? Lauren hosts the Veto Ceremony on Monday (August 18). That’s when she could save Vince and force Rachel to nominate someone else.

More drama from the Big Brother house

Fans worried about Katherine being with Rylie. Some even think that she is trying to get space from him, but that he isn’t letting it happen. Are fans right in their assumption that production warned Rylie?

Meanwhile, the next Eviction Ceremony is scheduled for August 21. Someone else from the Big Brother 27 cast will be sent home that day, leaving just 11 people competing for the $750,000 prize this summer. Who do you want to win Big Brother 2025?
