Watching the episode: I really hate how mopey and whiny Vince is as a sad sack. I know Rachel has been whiny too, but Rachel is in a position where the house treats her like a mascot rather than a legit player, and theyve taken out two of her friends (in stupid game moves for those particular HoHs). It makes sense for her to be upset if the cast is Ozzying her (as Andy compared). But Vince has been playing this scared game and staying in the middle this whole first month, and the second he doesnt get his way, he starts moaning about how its not fair; everyone is playing the middle; this has been his dream for ten years; wah wah wah.

I think we were watching the same moment - him pleading helplessly at the end of the Veto comp - around the same time (I just finished the episode). The Vinny "The Lip" Panero name is gonna stick. He looked like such a whiny loser in the worst way, and that's not somebody other players want to align with. This may be why Mickey betrayed him. Would not shock me if they kicked Mickey out of Melting Pot and replaced her with Lauren, so long as Morgan is okay with that. Morgan has wanted Lauren out at times so she could "get Zach to herself" but.... that's not good gameplay. You get Lauren out, you betray Zach. And I think Morgan's come to that realization.

Also, Rachel is always whiny. It just makes more sense this time because of how little traction they're allowing her to get. That going on for long enough would make anyone whiny. Rachel fighting with Morgan was a pretty stupid move for her, since Morgan has a lot of connections that Rachel does not. Rachel's unwarranted cockiness, however... that's making her a fair amount of enemies, and not just Morgan.

Do gotta say, Vinny's costume is something else. He can't get up or down without somebody helping him. Keanu's is humorous, too, but his stint is typical fare. It's made feeds interesting. Rachel and Zach's thing was not on feeds because production sucks. Feedsters, particularly the paying ones, are complaining more than usual about getting the shaft this year.
