Guys, final night time’s episode of Huge Brother was every thing. Actually, stay episodes just like the one we bought this week, the place we’re coping with an edge-of-your-seat vote scenario following an edge-of-your-seat Blockbuster competitors, are one of many causes I’ve by no means been in a position to stop this present. And a part of my enjoyment of it on this trendy age of Huge Brother is seeing different followers lose their minds alongside me.
Earlier than I get into reactions to Thursday night time’s stay eviction, whereby Rylie Jeffries was evicted from the home by a vote of 5 to 4, know that I’ll not be stepping into stay feed spoilers from the Head of Family competitors that occurred final night time. If you wish to know who received and browse some hypothesis on what the brand new HoH will do for nominations, take a look at Mick’s Huge Brother spoiler replace.
Again to final night time, as a result of I am nonetheless reeling.
There Was Solely One Method For This To Occur
These of us who’ve been attempting to maintain a shut eye on the stay feeds over the previous few days (both by way of Pluto or a Paramount+ subscription) knew that nothing was fully set in stone for this week’s vote. All of it got here all the way down to who received Blockbuster after which a couple of particular votes.
Whereas Mickey was on the outs with a variety of houseguests, there are others who felt sure that Rylie needs to be evicted sooner moderately than later. And Morgan’s security was nowhere close to assured. There have been completely different outcomes and vote situations relying on who received the Blockbuster competitors. And it was trying like absolutely the solely approach Rylie may very well be evicted was if Mickey received the Blockbuster, after which Ava and Vince each voted to evict Rylie (the opposite votes have been just about set someway).
Final Minute Choices On The Vote
Whereas Ava gave the impression to be torn about her vote going into tonight’s episode, from what I noticed, Vince had assured his vote to each Morgan and Rylie below any circumstance. Which meant on this one particular situation of Mickey profitable Blockbuster, and Rylie and Morgan nonetheless on the block, Vince was going to have to interrupt his phrase to somebody, and Ava was going to must make a last-minute resolution over who she evicted. There was some concern amongst followers that Mickey would possibly vote to evict Morgan over Rylie, however that did not occur. Nonetheless, it was one other variable on the desk.
I really feel like even in case you did not go into final night time’s episode with that data, you’d’ve seen how undecided issues have been the second it was revealed that Mickey had received. We noticed Vince and Ava convene instantly, as they’d deliberate to do, to determine which approach they have been voting. We noticed Rachel method them and make a plea for them to ship Rylie out. And we noticed Vince whisper one thing to Keanu, that Keanu tried to close down.
And Then, The Vote
The suspense for a few of these votes was insane. When it was his flip to vote, Vince hesitated, however his “I am sorry, man,” earlier than he solid his vote was a fast clue as to who he was about to evict. Throughout her flip to vote, Ava made a bit joke about desirous to evict Mickey, adopted by what felt like an eternity of a pause as she made her option to evict Rylie. I swear, for a second, I assumed she was going to say Morgan. The stress! Whereas there have been a few votes left to go, Ava’s vote was the fifth for Rylie, which locked in his eviction.
The episode additionally included one in all Julie’s uncommon “______, you’re secure. ______ you have been evicted…” fake-outs. I hope we get to see extra reactions to that in Sunday’s episode, together with Morgan’s. Rylie simply appeared surprised because the digicam zoomed in on him, although I’ve to surprise if he had an inkling that he was in hassle earlier than Julie’s announcement.
Followers Are Reacting
I went into tonight’s episode each in awe of how Rachel Reilly navigated her Head of Family week, and likewise attempting to not get my hopes up that the fruits of all of her efforts can be Rylie leaving the home. There was principally one good set of circumstances that may permit it to occur; it got here all the way down to the wire, and it truly occurred.
And I am not alone in being fired up about every thing. Rob Has a Podcast podcaster Taran Armstrong was streaming his response to the episode stay on Twitch final night time, and he didn’t maintain again the second Ava lastly mentioned her vote and the 5 votes have been locked in for Rylie to go (audio on, in case you’re happy with loud, NSFW language!).

Taran was all of us watching that vote play out (or any of us who wished this final result). You possibly can take a look at extra of his response on his full Twitch stream for the episode (if you wish to leap to the vote, it is across the 45:00 mark). Listed below are another reactions that I noticed on X after the episode:
- @BigBrother_Tay – Cut up vote, half the home blindsided, Julie with the fakeout, Rylie not in jury: Greatest eviction of the season by far
- @Corner2016 – Rachel took a danger! A BIG SWING! AND DID NOT MISS!!! Thats an old style participant for you!!
- @effexorfan420 – generational hoh week đȘ rachel reilly is a high 5 bb participant im not listening to that âsheâs overratedâ âbb13 was riggedâ bullshit anymore
- @Ethanimale – I really feel like we simply went by a type of evictions that weâre gonna keep in mind for a very long timeÂ
I could not agree with @Ethanimale extra on that sentiment. Longtime followers of the sequence know that eviction episodes which are this unpredictable and this intense do not occur each week (and even each season). That is very true when the key occasions play out the best way many individuals hope they may. We can’t quickly neglect this one.
The Blockbuster competitors has actually helped to maintain completely different situations on the desk going into Thursday’s episode, and that is a really new-school Huge Brother competitors. However there was undoubtedly an old style Huge Brother ingredient in play right here, with Rachel Reilly as Head of Family. She’s been holding her personal as the only real vet in a home filled with newbies, however as we noticed together with her strikes all through the week, and the work she put in to attempt to make this eviction occur, there is a motive she has the popularity she does for her ardour for the sport and the way she performs it.
