‘Big Brother’: Vince’s Girlfriend Sounds Off on His Alleged Showmance With Morgan

This is one showmance Big Brother viewers did not see coming…
During Season 27 of Big Brother, houseguests Vince Panaro, Mickey Lee, Morgan Pope, and Zach Cornell created an alliance called The Melting Pot. Forged in the Head of Household room during Mickey’s Week 4 run as HOH, The Melting Pot quickly took shape as one of the strongest alliances in the house — until Zach was eliminated during Week 5, and Mickey announced that she wished she had voted for Morgan to go home instead of non-Melting Pot member Rylie Jeffries during Week 6.
As Vince and Morgan melted their way out of The Melting Pot, it appeared that the dynamic duo were cozying up to be more than friends, even though Vince made it clear that he had a girlfriend back home. Now that Vince is back in the driver’s seat as HOH for Week 7, launching both him and his ride-or-die ally Morgan into the spotlight, live stream viewers have noticed that their flirty connection has started to turn towards JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes levels of not-platonic.
As Big Brother fans took to Vince’s social media expressing their concern about his connection with Morgan, theorizing that it may cost him the long-term relationship he has with his girlfriend, Kelsey, the Big Brother star’s partner finally broke her silence.

Following the resharing of all of Vince’s previously archived pictures with his girlfriend on his Instagram, she commented on a fan’s speculation that Vince had likely been given permission to flirt with other contestants to further his own game.
According to Kelsey, she “never gave an OK to flirt as a strategy.” Seeing as many Big Brother stars do use showmances as a way to grow closer with their allies, Kelsey revealed that they “talked extensively about boundaries before he left.”
