Gold Derby is serving up Big Brother 27<\/em> spoilers all summer long. Read at your own risk!<\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s a lot going down in the Big Brother<\/em> house this week, so let\u2019s just cut to the chase \u2014 at the Veto meeting, Morgan Pope<\/strong> saved herself from eviction, leaving Vince Panaro<\/strong> and Mickey Lee<\/strong> on the block. Keanu Soto<\/strong> surprised no one by choosing Ashley Hollis<\/strong> as the replacement nominee, setting up a tense Thursday night BB<\/em> Block Buster showdown.<\/p>\n More from Gold Derby<\/strong><\/p>\n But who is expected to go home? Morgan has been working overtime to lock in votes for Vince, but her increasingly \u201cclose\u201d friendship with him has been raising eyebrows among the houseguests \u2014 and with viewers \u2014 considering Vince has a girlfriend at home. Does showering together cross the line? That’s up for you to decide.<\/p>\n Despite Morgan\u2019s efforts, long embraces, and intimate petting \u2014 this week’s deciding vote may come down to Ava Pearl<\/strong>. While Morgan and Keanu believe they can sway her, Ava has quietly told several houseguests she plans to keep Ashley, who\u2019s had her back in recent weeks.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, tensions are growing between Mickey and almost everyone else. Once considered safe, Mickey\u2019s aggressive gameplay and mixed signals about her vote have rubbed multiple houseguests the wrong way. Morgan is frustrated that Mickey won\u2019t admit she\u2019s against keeping Vince, while Rachel Reilly<\/strong> and Will Williams<\/strong> openly worry that Mickey is gaming too hard and planting seeds of distrust.<\/p>\n Strategically, the house is divided. Kelley Jorgensen<\/strong> and Lauren Domingue<\/strong> are debating whether it\u2019s smarter to evict Ashley to weaken Rachel\u2019s side or send Vince home to split up the Morgan-Vince-Keanu dynamic. Will warns Ava that keeping Vince could make the \u201clovebirds\u201d an even bigger target moving forward \u2014 and Ava warns Lauren that Vince can’t be trusted. The drama!<\/p>\n The looming BB<\/em> Block Buster competition will be the deciding factor. Mickey knows she needs to win it to secure her safety. Here’s how the votes are looking in each of the three final scenarios ahead of Thursday night’s live eviction:<\/p>\n Mickey vs. Vince<\/strong><\/p>\n Votes to evict Mickey:<\/strong> Ava, Kelley, Lauren, Morgan<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Votes to evict Vince:<\/strong> Ashley, Rachel, Will Votes to evict Ashley:<\/strong> Kelley, Lauren, Morgan<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Votes to evict Vince:<\/strong> Ava, Mickey, Rachel, Will Likely outcome: A unanimous vote to evict Mickey.<\/p>\n Thursday\u2019s eviction is shaping up to be one of the messiest of the season, and the fallout could completely reset the game. With this week\u2019s evicted houseguest being the last to leave pre-jury, they\u2019ll have no further influence on the competition \u2014 making this decision even more critical for the remaining players. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Rachel is ready to share her workout routine …<\/p>\n Best of Gold Derby<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Gold Derby’s Newsletter<\/a>.
