- Evicted *Big Brother *season 27 houseguest Keanu Soto puts a percentage on what he thinks Vince told him that was actually genuine.

- Keanu says he and frenemy Rachel are still arguing in the jury house. Of course they are!

- Keanu also reveals his one big regret from the game.

The dungeon master's game is finally over. Keanu Soto was put on the block eight different times this season, and the eighth time was the final time as Keanu was finally evicted from the *Big Brother* house on day 77 of the game. Keanu had once again put his faith in Vince Panaro, not realizing that Vince was secretly stringing him along the entire time. While Keanu mistakenly believed Vince would finally take a shot at flirtmance partner Morgan Pope, the Head of Household took the shot at Keanu instead.

After Keanu was nominated by Vince and then failed to win the Veto, his fate was sealed. We caught up with the fifth-place finisher to gather his thoughts on Vince now, find out his current frenemy status with Rachel Reilly, and see how he thinks he would have done with the jury had he made it to the end. So without further ado, we believe he has a prompt…

**: You kept telling Vince he needed to put Morgan on the block if he had any hopes of winning this game. Why do you think he ultimately chose not to do that?**

**KEANU SOTO:** Ooh, let's see. Why did he choose not to put Morgan on the block? Well, obviously I'm sure you guys can see that their connection is very strong as a duo there. But I guess this question could have  different answers depending on what phase of the game that we're in. But if you are referring particularly to the late game there, from my understanding, she made a really good argument as to why I was the front-runner to win — particularly because of my underdog story. So I believe that's ultimately why he chose to put me up over her on the HOH that I went home.

**You told Vince that all he ever did was lie to you and all you did was show him grace. Do you blame yourself for giving him so many chances?**

So I blame myself for giving him so many chances? Well, yeah, I have to take extreme ownership over that. But you know, to be honest, that's just my nature, you know? So a lot of the tears that he cried may or may not have been fake. It's obviously gonna hurt to go back and watch and see if they were. I always equated it to basically chess, but with humans, right? And whenever there's a human element, there's going to be mess-ups and this and that.

And I can't blame someone for having those you human slip-ups or feeling like, let's say for example, during the Adrian vote where he kept telling me he was going to vote for him, he decided not to, and then he cried about it afterwards saying he felt like a slimy weasel, or I can't remember exactly what words he used. But I gave him a hug and like, "Dude, it's okay. That's gonna happen. You had a human moment. That's okay. Just don't let it happen again."

I've always said that he and I have this big brother, little brother relationship there. I wouldn't get mad at my little brother for making constant mess-ups like that. That would be hypocritical of me because I've done that so many times in my life. So I wouldn't change anything about that.

**How much of what Vince said and did in the house do you think was genuine?**

I have various theories about how many things he did that were genuine. If I had to put a percentage on it, I would say about 90% of the things he did were probably not genuine when it came to me. So that's gonna hurt to go back and watch. But like I said, we we're playing a game and I always said throughout the season that I felt like I was very good at separating personal from game, so I'm doing my best to right now to do the same thing.

**You and your frenemy Rachel had one of the most complex relationships in the house. What's your take now on Rachel, and what do you think her take on you is?**

The Frenemies! She hated that alliance name, and I like to think it's pretty good because it encompassed our relationship, I felt like. But I guess we'll find out. My relationship with Rachel, I hate to say this, but a lot of our arguments were pretty one sided. And I hope it comes across that way on camera. Because she's like, "Oh, you're always yelling at me." And I'm like, "I am very relaxed right now. What are you talking about?"

And, you know, that hasn't stopped here in the jury house. We are picking up right where we left off. But I said that we have a big sister, a little brother kind of relationship, and it really feels like that. I'm fortunate enough to have seven other siblings, and believe it or not, I never fought with any of them. So to feel like I have one now that I do fight with, it's kind of refreshing. I got it, 33 years later.

**How do you think you would have done with the jury against the players still in the house had you made it all the way to the final two?**

I feel like the only person left in the game that would've given me maybe a run for my money in the final two was maybe Morgan. Because if you look at how we played the game, I felt like it was very inverted. At the beginning of the game, I had my back up against the wall and had to win to stay in the game.

And then around the prizes and punishments, when I got the Butt-ler punishment, that was really at the point where I was able to start developing more of my social game and relying more on that to a point where I even was able to be saved in a tie vote once I finally touched the block, which I imagine a lot of people did not think that would happen.

And then Morgan's game, she was very social at the beginning, and then showing her competitive prowess a lot towards the end there. So I feel like she would've given me much more of a run for my money than anybody else.

However, you know, in this particular question, I'm sitting in the final two, right? Which means if I'm sitting in the final two, that means that I won the last three competitions that I was able to win, I imagine. And, in that case, I would've had double digit wins, which, if I'm not mistaken has not been done in *Big Brother* history for a winner — 10 total competition wins. And that, I feel like, would've made my resume undeniable and would've given me the win. So I felt like I would've won against anybody in the house had I been sitting in the final two.

**Finally, what is your biggest regret from your time in the house — either in terms of personal or gameplay?**

Well, I'm going to be honest, I did not think that the board, for lack of a better phrase, was gonna develop so quickly. And what I mean by that is I did not think that there was going to be kind of a little metaphorical line drawn in the sand there so quickly. So when Jimmy kind of called me out and and called me a liar, and I kind of admittedly lost my cool a little bit and said I was going to pick every player off one by one — I said that under the assumption that everyone that I was cool with at that time would not think I was talking about them.

But, lo and behold to find out — everybody took that as a threat, literally. So I would say that me kind of losing my cool in that moment — even though I'm sure it was a great TV moment — that's probably one of my bigger regrets because it really made my social game take a tremendous hit.

Because I put a huge target on my back for the whole house. Whereas I thought I would've had at least five or six people to kind of back me up, I ended up being very lonely in the first kind of four to five weeks there. I was all by myself. S oif I could go back and do it again, I may have done that a little bit differently.
