Any which way you look at it .. this "twist" sucks.
1. They told us in advance we were not going to like it..
2. They turned off the feeds so they could do this -for more than 24 hours without giving a heads up - and then promote it on their other show..(didn't watch - refuse to do so .. but don't think they showed much.)
3. Was it pre-ordained that they were going to yank Rachel? If not - how convenient it turned out to be Rachel and not one of the others - because she wasn't nominated and voted out...and not on camera - so they can spin it as they want for Tuesday's show. (and we will only see a smidgen of what happened in the 24+ hours the feeds were down.)
4. Bits and pieces we have heard since the feeds returned are that most of the other houseguests are shocked about the way Rachel left - so how exactly was this "twist" explained to them - if they didn't help plan her exit??? (game wise)
5. Is she really in jury now - or is "America" going to get a vote in the final 2?

I think production doesn't understand the social aspect of this game. Ava is saying she didn't pick Rachel because Rachel grabbed her arm and Ava can't handle being touched.
So, if Rachel had just asked Ava nicely, with no touching, Rachel would still be there.
Oh, and Morgan froze/blacked out when it was time to hit the buzzer, so if she hadn't she would probably be hoh and maybe Rachel would still be there. And if Vince had picked Morgan instead of Lauren, Rachel would still be there.
That's what I got from reading Jokers updates. So, I don't believe there is some big conspiracy theory. I just think production wanted 5 minutes of interesting tv time, and ruined it all for us live feeders. I'm not saying I wanted Rachel to win, I just wanted to see the whole house dynamics of people going on the block. Even Keanu isn't happy. He wanted to beat Rachel fair and square. If he does win, he'll have no bragging rights that he beat Rachel. None of them will.
Nice going production.

Feeds went to WBRB. Is this an early wake-up call?

Yes. The feeds are back and showing the bathroom and dining area. Kelley is folding laundry and Morgan is showering.

Keanu and Ashley are up. Will is also up. Lauren is attending to her complexion in the HOH bathroom.
I have not seen Ava or Vince yet.

Someone needs to say out loud for everyone to hear, welp, now that Rachel is gone no one is watching us anymore. It would bother Kelley, Morgan and Vince at least.
Kelley skipping around in her white cowboy boots in the backyard last night, honey you'll need to put on that solo backpack and get out of Dodge in a few weeks.

This whole no feeds for 24 hours and someone being sent out secretly, Rachel of all people, without HGs voting doesn't pass the smell test. The feeds on Pluto put plainly, suck. The show for me has been sliding down hill for a while, it's like CBS is testing the waters on how to change the show into showmances with comps or a Challenge like show. Pick a side CBS.

Ashley is now showering in the bathroom by herself. Keanu is eating his breakfast and Kelley is there talking with him.

After reading Brendon's on line ode to Rachel soliloquy after her departure, he doesn't sound like this was a plan for her season. He was not amused, I did chuckle with him ending with a slight begging for everyone to vote her AFP.

I think the more irritating thing to me is that apparently the rules were you had to play the maze to be eligible to play HOH (except for Ava who won the original comp to start the chain)- so the ones who hadn't been picked before Rachel lost had no chance to become eligible, and at least 2 of the noms were in that situation..
I have no problem with the twist itself- it's part of the game for twists to come into play, and people have always complained about them no matter who benefited or didn't benefit (remember all the compaints a couple of seasons ago when the Pressure Cooker HOH was basically invalidated due to the Invincibility twist coming right after? That one was much, much worse IMO)

This morning I saw on Facebook a post from Brendon saying he was at Chucky Cheese when he got a call from production saying that Rachel was eliminated. He seemed very upset that she went out that way. He also stated that he didn't like how Ava talked so badly about her after she was gone. He said Rachel won't be seeing Ava or Kelly because of their comments,he was going to make sure of that. I'm just wondering why production called him. He also said he felt betrayed by BB for her going out this way. It seems like someone put this on a BB Facebook page from Brendon's Facebook acct. I'm still wondering if something more is up because Ashley was SO happy last night on Pluto. I thought she would be upset to lose Rachel if she is gone.🤔

Ava's rant after Rachel leaving the house...
"I'm pretty sure Rachel's gonna be pissed at me forever, but whatever. Frankly, I'm like no offense b*tch after you physically touched me I'm not putting your ass first. And if she is I'm gonna be like b*tch, s*f*. Then you should have won the puzzle."
Rachel was asking for volunteers for the comp when she apparently "grabbed" her arm while asking.
Good thing Ava slept through most of the season.
Brendon said no associating with Ava or Kelley after the season. LOL

Thanks World, I didn't know what Ava did for Brendon to say that Rachel won't be seeing her after BB is done. Kelly must have said bad things too because he is also angry about her.

This has nothing to do with anything but just watched Ashley put "chicken cutlets" in her black and white dress Sorry, I thought it was funny, the season just became this for me.

Morgan went into the camping bedroom and was gently touching the blanket where Vince is laying. He stirred, but then covered himself with the blanket and remained in bed.
Ashley is dressed formally in a black and white dress.

Kelley is ALWAYS talking crap about Rachel. The worst was when she said she feels sorry for Rachel’s daughter having Rachel as a mom/role model…

I love what Dan Gheesling said.
"Always having a chance to fight, and it not being over till the last vote is cast. That is what I have always loved about Big Brother.
Maybe this will help the franchise return to less severe game twists or even no twists at all"

The thing is… as a prior player, winner, Rachel came in with a target on her back. She knew how to win. The HG should’ve voted her out sooner. They had to have known that. But, she became entrenched with groups that helped her continue in the game. No one wanted to make the move… I think they all knew that Rachel needed to be voted out before the finale. While they may feel bad, I think, with the exception of a couple of them, they knew exactly what they were doing in the chain. They had to get her out to win BB. The opportunity presented itself and they took it. I wonder what the game would have evolved to if Rachel wasn’t inserted in it.

Whether you are a huge fan of Rachel or hate her, the BB showrunners would rather show off and on live feeds and people ranting on line for 5 days rather show what is happening than have episodes raking in millions of tv ads? Very strange, and why did Brendon get a heads up Rachel is off the show?
Is that the norm?

This group is quite weak… Keanu talks all the talk, yet he gets in his own way all the time. He’s awful at reading a situation and he never admits to being wrong. Vince is embarrassingly needy, he cries as much as that lady…Amber maybe? We always talked about her crying about everything. These people just keep making the same plans/moves. They do not pivot, veer, or improve their plans. They are lazy in every sense of the word. They refuse to make big moves or take chances. None of their alliances have stayed true/together. A few have literally slept their way to this point! They spent longer on naming their alliances than the alliance actually lasted.
I truly hope ZingBot grills them, we know a lot of them will hide under their covers when they see their BB Comics! Those are the only things I have to look forward to now…

Reading everywhere today seems like the internet’s equivalent to the Jesse eviction/mourning. I feel like Kevin saying she didn’t die! I can just imagine the joy that would be going around if instead of Rachel it had been Kelly or Vince that was eliminated. Me? I’m just happy she and her gowns are gone! lol

Haven’t we had players eliminated on a past BB episode without having any chance to play or fight or be voted out?
