Big Brother’ Week 9: Who won Power of Veto week 9?
So yes, Morgan Pope snatched that shiny Veto medallion. The challenge itself? BB Comics — the kind of competition that’s equal parts nostalgia and chaos for any longtime Big Brother watcher.
You know the drill: six contestants, a mad scramble up the ladder, grappling onto a hand glider while trying to pick out the right order and correct version of those superhero houseguest comic book covers.
This time I could almost feel the frustration in the air. Lauren, already juggling HOH power for the second time this season, hesitated on her answers, checking, double-checking. You’ve got to appreciate a perfectionist, but you can practically hear the seconds ticking by in her head.
Meanwhile, Morgan, who knew she was on the block, went into overdrive, scoring the win by barely a minute. Even Ashley Hollis, somewhere in the middle, looked like she was just happy not to crash.
Tensions, Deals, and the Block
Right after Morgan’s win, the game went into its usual spiral of alliances and paranoia. Everyone started calculating next moves as only Big Brother can induce — you know, wide-eyed confessions in the pantry and rushed whispers behind closed doors. Lauren held all the power, but suddenly, the veto win forced her hand, and the nomination board was a game of musical chairs.
Morgan had begged Vince Panaro to use the veto on her if he won (pro tip: never bank on Vince — he tanked the challenge just to stay in Lauren’s good graces!). You’ve got to love those little betrayals that make the show so entertaining and messy.
Anyway, instead of dramatic backdoors or wild blindsides, Morgan picked herself off the block, and Lauren had a decision to make. Ultimately, Keanu Soto got the nod, with Lauren openly admitting it was a reluctant move forced by circumstances. I know some fans thought she’d try something sneakier, but sometimes Big Brother is just a pressure cooker, no recipe.
What Winning the Veto Meant for Morgan?
Morgan didn’t just win safety; she won leverage. Week 9 is notorious for being a turning point in the season — it’s when alliances start crumbling and personal vendettas take center stage. Morgan, escaping the block with the Veto, suddenly found herself holding cards she probably never expected. There’s an extra spring in your step when you’re not scrambling to campaign for votes.
