We would still have the numbers,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;Rachel was the shield. Rachel was the target in the house. Even though she was never nominated, she was going to start being nominated and the protection of The Judges would&#8217;ve continued on. The White Locust screwed up stuff. We did not play that very well \u2013 meaning The Judges didn&#8217;t play it well. <strong>Ava [Pearl] <\/strong>chose <strong>Vinny [Panaro]<\/strong>. Vinny chose <strong>Lauren [Domingue]<\/strong>, and that was a detriment to us. And Lauren ended up winning HOH. Rachel ended up going home. It was just bad. So again, if that situation hadn&#8217;t have happened, I would still be in there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The retired Army captain also weighed in on the relationship that has fans buzzing between Vinny and <strong>Morgan Pope<\/strong>, the latter of whom has a girlfriend outside the house. &#8220;Vince is in a relationship. Vince in a seven-year relationship,&#8221; Will says. &#8220;Vince is also very close with Morgan in the house. Morgan is not in a relationship and she&#8217;s very close with Vinny in the house. I don&#8217;t want to lie, I would be remiss to say some of the things that happened in the house looked a little sideways.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Drawing from his own long-term relationship, he adds, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been married for going on 10 years, and I know my wife, and my wife with some of the things, some of the long hugs, some of the hammock stuff\u2026my wife would take a rusted fork, stab me in my thigh and twist it, for some of the things that happened in the house between those two, particularly Vinny. Perception is everything. I try to tell these kids perception is everything. They are very close. They&#8217;re very close. It&#8217;s some real life stuff going to happen with them two after you&#8217;re out the house, and I&#8217;m going to leave it like that. That&#8217;s all I got to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When it comes to gameplay, the sports podcaster didn\u2019t hesitate to name a frontrunner. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to say Vinny is playing the best game so far,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Vinny has been on the block multiple times. He&#8217;s said that veto played given to him. He&#8217;s won HOH twice. He is very connected in this game. Vinny is the only person that has two number ones in this game. Morgan obviously, and Lauren. And to a certain degree you have the disgruntled No. 1 and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/keanu-rachels-big-brother-showdown-180352960.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Keanu [Soto];elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Keanu [Soto]<\/a>. Vinny is very articulate and they trust him so badly, so much in this game. And Ava gave him the name &#8216;Vinny The Lip&#8217; for a reason because he can really talk his way out of anything. He&#8217;s good at comps, he&#8217;s good socially, he&#8217;s connected around the house.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In fact, Will says, &#8220;If he stays safe for another couple eliminations, Vinny could very well be in those final three chairs and more power to him if he does.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On the other end of the spectrum, he believes his ally <strong>Ashley Hollis <\/strong>has the toughest road ahead. &#8220;I think Ashley has the most to approve,&#8221; he tells <em>MJ<\/em>. &#8220;She won Veto the first week because Ashley probably was going to go home the first week of this game, which had been really terrible because Ashley&#8217;s such a great person, and her personality is amazing, and she was able to stay. And now she&#8217;s into the 10th week of this game. But I think that Ashley needs to win a competition or two to stay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Big Brother<\/em>\u00a0airs Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
