Big Brother featured Vince Panaro winning Head of Household, Morgan Pope winning the Power of Veto, and Vince making a very risky decision to please Morgan during the Season 27 episode that aired Wednesday night on CBS.

As the dust settled, the house gossiped about how Vince and Morgan seemed a little too close and cuddly.
Although Morgan and Vince claimed they were just No. 1 allies and close friends, their fellow houseguests criticized their flirtatious interactions -- including a long, passionate hug -- since Vince has a girlfriend waiting for him back home.
Zingbot then entered the house and appeared to upset Morgan by making a joke about how she's not Vince's girlfriend.
Zingbot's other "zingers" included calling Lauren "boring," making fun of the fact Vince is a 34-year-old "crybaby" who still lives with his parents, and calling Ashley Hollis a "clinger" as well as the "little friend" of Rachel Reilly.
It then became time for the next Head of Household competition, which required the participating houseguests to watch a true crime documentary called The Last Zing. They had to pay close attention and then answer a series of "True or False" questions about the footage.
Each correct answer would earn a player a point, and the houseguest to have the most points after seven rounds would win the competition and become the new HoH.
Lauren, as the outgoing HoH, was deemed ineligible to compete.
Vince said he couldn't let Ava Pearl or Kelley Jorgensen win. Kelley, meanwhile, felt her only ally left in the house was Ava and she'd probably end up on the chopping block with everyone else.
In the end, Vince won Head of Household for the third time this season.
Vince said he could only protect two people, Lauren and Morgan, this week and so he couldn't make Keanu Soto any promises.

But Lauren apparently felt very safe with Vince in charge and didn't think he'd betray her. Vince also was afraid to risk Lauren being evicted since she was his ally and they had made a Final 2 deal.
Vince heard that Keanu was trashing him behind his back and had joked about how this season should be called Cheating Island instead of Big Brother. Keanu owned up to making the joke, insisting he didn't mean it, but Vince was seemingly hurt.
Prior to the Nomination Ceremony, Vince essentially asked Lauren if she'd go on the block as a pawn, which caught her totally off-guard.

Lauren cried and explained how that move would be "too risky," and she promised Vince that if she won the Veto, she'd follow his lead on whether or not to use it.
At the Nomination Ceremony, Vince announced he had decided to nominate Ava, Kelley and Keanu for eviction.
"Keanu, I never, ever would've put you on the block, but then two weeks ago, you valued teaching me a lesson over my life in the game, and that hurt," Vince explained.

Vince apologized to Kelley for nominating her for the third time, and he let Ava know that she was a pawn.
Ava flipped out about being on the chopping block and how she was going to fight hard to stay.
"This whole house is going to shake!" Ava shouted.
Vince told the cameras that he truly wanted Ava or Kelley gone, even though he had made that big speech about Keanu.
Morgan later broke down to Vince about how she was fighting so hard for him but he kept protecting Lauren. Morgan called Lauren his "weakness" and she vented about how he was risking her safety by constantly putting Lauren first.
"If you continue to choose Lauren over me, I'm going to have to go," Morgan said, giving Vince an ultimatum.
Because of Morgan's frustration and doubt, Vince hoped nominations would end up staying the same.
When it became time to pick players for the Power of Veto competition, Vince selected Keanu's name by random draw, and so Keanu picked Morgan to play.
"I really wanted to play in this. If I win this Veto and choose to use it, Vince will have to put up either Lauren or Ashley, and then I'll finally be able to see where he stands," Morgan told the Big Brother cameras in the Diary Room.

But Vince also drew Lauren's name to compete in the Veto competition, which immediately annoyed Morgan.
For the Power of Veto competition, each player was instructed to transfer one piece of evidence at a time by carefully walking back and forth across a teetering handle of a giant magnifying glass and placing it on the lens.

Morgan ended up winning the Power of Veto, and so Lauren was very nervous about what was going to happen next. This also put Vince in a "terrible" position.
Vince tried to convince Morgan not to use the veto because if she went home on his HoH, he thought that would be a terrible move. Morgan, however, wanted Lauren to touch the block more than anything.
"You can't burn me on this!" Vince told Morgan.
Vince acknowledged that if he didn't name Lauren the replacement nominee, he'd lose Morgan as an ally.
At the Veto Meeting, Morgan announced she had decided to use the Power of Veto on Ava, which prompted Vince to name a replacement nominee.
Vince then put Lauren on the chopping block, which thrilled Morgan and secured their bond.
Vince said if he couldn't rally enough votes for Lauren to stay, this move may cost him $750,000.

"I have done so much to try to help Vince's game, and he puts me on the block on his HoH? That is actually f-cking insane. Our relationship is not going to be the same," Lauren lamented to the Big Brother cameras.
