BIG Brother star Keanu Soto has called out Vince Panaro for being a ‘cheater’ after flirting with Morgan Pope all season in a fiery scene on Wednesday night’s episode.
Despite having a girlfriend of 7 years at home watching his situationship with Morgan play out in front of the cameras, many feel that Vince has continued to “cross the line.”
Vince and Morgan’s relationship has been a focal point of drama in the season 27 household and even kicked off Wednesday’s supersized two-hour episode.
Houseguest Kelley Jorgensen got the ball rolling by admitting that Vince “never has time for anybody except Morgan” and that they are together “a LOT.”
She then took it to the kitchen to spoke to Keanu, where she expressed concern over the fact that Morgan and Vince were now sleeping in the same bed.
“She’s always rubbing his back, taking such good care of him,” Kelley told Keanu, who responded “Yeah that’s not a good look.”
“Well, if I was his girlfriend, I’d be pissed,” Keanu added to which Kelley agreed.
In the Diary Room, Keanu added: “It’s very odd to me that he’s had a girlfriend for 7 years and said he’d like to propose or whatever. That’s not for me.”
During a later conversation, Keanu directly asks Vince if Morgan knows that he has a girlfriend back home.
Vince laughed and responded: “It’s just game stuff,” to which Keanu replied and said that it was “crazy.”
“The optics do not look good. To me, it looks like emotional cheating,” Keanu said in the Diary Room.
In another scene, the cast was all inside of the Head of Household bedroom talking strategy as Morgan and Vince were lost in their own world in the corner in a long embrace.
The other contestants tried talking to them, but the pair continued their emotional, long hug and didn’t look up at the others in the room.
“What are we doing? I’m done, I got to go,” Kelley said as they all exited the room.
As they were walking downstairs, Keanu added: “What show are we on? Cheating Island?” he quipped as a reference to Love Island.
Kelley later told Vince about Keanu’s comment as she felt it “crossed the line.”
Vince tried to justify his behavior, saying: “Apparently people around the house are making jokes because, what else do you have to do at this point in the game?
“But I just hope America doesn’t think I’m doing something unethical. I mean, everything is recorded. I’m not doing something sneaky!”
