Morgan was going to miss Zach, but she said it was necessary to keep Vince Panaro around because he had connections she could benefit from that Zach simply didn't have.
Lauren Domingue also cried about Zach's ouster, but since she had a Final 2 deal with Vince, she had to choose between them and keep the person who would be best for her game.
Ava Pearl, however, considered her HoH reign successful since a strong player went home.
Keanu Soto, meanwhile, boasted about how his threat to take people out of the Big Brother house one by one was coming to fruition because he was going to continue to win Veto competitions and BB Blockbusters.
As for Mickey Lee, she was uncomfortable with Rachel's footing in the house, and she was also desperate to send Keanu out the door.
But Ashley Hollis was close with Rachel, and so she was not onboard with Mickey's plan to gun for the former Big Brother winner. Cliffton "Will" Williams also said he was "great" with Rachel and had no desire to schedule a hit on her.
Rachel, for her part, feared she was on the outs in the house, and so she set her heart on winning the next Head of Household title.
Keanu truly wanted to work with Rachel, however, along with Vince, Katherine Woodman, Rylie Jeffries and Kelley Jorgensen.
Keanu had high hopes he could rally troops to work with him, but Rachel was convinced they were essentially loners in the house and needed to win competitions in order to survive.
For the next HoH competition, Ava, as the outgoing HoH, was deemed ineligible to compete.

Everyone had five minutes to look around the house and study the six rooms inside -- the bedroom, the nursery, the bathroom, the dining room, the kitchen and the garage.
When "The Party Slasher" called them on the phone, he'd give them clues about which room or rooms would be safe to hide in. During every round, there would be multiple rooms a player could hide in to be safe from attack.
If a player selected a safe room, he or she would move onto the next round until only one houseguest remained.
Rachel set out to prove that she's "still got it," but Morgan wanted to win so she could take a shot at Kelley, Keanu and Rachel.
Vince, who had stopped playing the middle, said he'd go after Rachel, Ava and Ashley if he won HoH.
In the end, Rachel and Morgan faced off against each other for the title in the final round, and Rachel was victorious.
"I am ready to make big moves and teach these newbies what a real legend does when they win HoH," Rachel boasted in the Big Brother Diary Room.

But Morgan complained, "I'd rather get a phone call from The Slasher again than deal with Rachel as HoH. Why, you might ask?"
"Rachel is going to nominate me," Morgan continued, "because of the comments I made about getting her to jury. She was really offended by that, so I think she's pissed at me for that."
Vince also said Rachel's win was to "be a horror movie" for him because he'd probably end up on the chopping block again. Vince figured he'd be back on the block before he could even unpack his suitcase.
Vince was convinced that Rachel wanted him gone, but Mickey said she had no idea who Rachel's nominations were going to be.
Ashley subsequently warned Rachel that Morgan wanted her gone. Ashley knew Mickey was pushing her own agenda, but at the same time, she wanted to continue working with her since they were allies.
Rachel, however, knew that Mickey wanted her gone as well, and so she wasn't about to cross Mickey off her list.
Rachel also seemed to be sold on nominating Vince for eviction.
"Vince has lied to me every single eviction and then he cries about it, so he's either lying or crying to me," Rachel told the Big Brother cameras.
Rachel said most of her allies had been evicted or turned against her and so it was time to rally troops and get the numbers. Rachel therefore pulled Kelley in with her.
When Mickey talked to Rachel, she hoped Rachel would be direct with her and address any problems she might've had with her, but Rachel played coy and danced around their issues.
Mickey therefore pressed for the truth, and so Rachel admitted she felt "betrayed" by her.
"I feel like you've picked other people over me," Rachel told Mickey, who responded by saying the Jimmy Heagerty vote was actually best for both of their games.

Mickey recalled how Kelley had told her that Rachel felt Mickey was icing her out.
This news made Rachel wary of whether she could continue to trust and work with Kelley. Rachel said she wanted to know why Kelley had done that, but Mickey said she didn't want Kelley to be mad at her.
Rachel, putting her game first, confronted Kelley, who lamented in a confessional, "Why do I instigate so much?! All I do is cause problems, and cause problems for myself."

Kelley apologized and explained how feeling "iced out" was just a common term used during their season. Kelley insisted that she wanted to move forward with Rachel and they could do some serious damage together in this game.
"I guess I screwed up my trusting you so quickly. This blows up my entire plan. Mickey was telling the truth and Kelley can obviously not be trusted," Rachel concluded.
At the Nomination Ceremony, Rachel announced she had decided to nominate Vince, Morgan and Mickey for eviction.
"Vince, if you're the gardener in this house, Morgan is planting seeds. To be completely honest, the two of you have been trying to run this game since the beginning, and Mickey, you're right along with them," Rachel declared.
"I love you all personally, but in this game, I can't allow you to control it."
Rachel explained how Vince was in everyone's ear and her relationship with Morgan wasn't great after their disagreement over the jury conversation.
"And I'm nominating Mickey because it's time to take a big shot at a really big target," Rachel added.

Mickey admitted she was scared to be on the block and Rachel was "still manipulative" and "very predictable."

Mickey told the cameras, "You're right, Rachel, you're definitely not going to jury. Because if I get off this block and win HoH, you're going home."
