Celebrity Big Brother: February 8 Episode Blog Party



As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be updating and live-blogging away the best I can. Refresh the post to get the latest news! For more information on how I'll be handling this season on the blog as well as the show schedule, check this post out. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- join on in!

The gift bags won't come into play until nominations. Then the HG who wants to open his or her bag goes to the Diary Room to open it. If someone dethrones the HoH, he/she must make immediate nominations.

(Sorry, I'm a bit distracted tonight.)

The women are scheming about opening all of their bags to optimize their chances to keep HoH.

James is wanting to work with Chuck. They knew each other prior to the show.

Mark tells Shannon that the biggest threats in the house are James ... and her. Well, um. That wasn't too bright. Meanwhile, she runs and tells Ross about what Mark said. She thinks he (Ross) would work well with the girls, perhaps even be a spy for them. Ross is open to it -- he knows the numbers are there.

Chuck knows that he needs to get closer to the women at this point. James remains quite full of himself. Chuck lets the girls give him a facial. Metta lets them do his fingernails.

The guys are trying to convince Mark that he needs to use his bag. Chuck points out that no way will the women do anything but put two guys on the block. 

Omarosa tells Shannon that she lost hundreds of friends by being loyal to one. Keshia thinks that Omarosa's loyalty to He Whose Name Will Not Be Mentioned On This Blog. Omarosa tells Keshia that many black folks felt the same way about Cosby and those who remained friends with him. Oy. 

James approaches Shannon after Chuck did. In the conversation with Chuck, it was evident that there is a guys alliance. James denies it when she asks. He again tells Shannon she's a threat. Silly James. 

Metta tells Shannon he wants her to nominate him -- he misses his wife and kids. He thinks he made a big mistake coming on the show. She tells us that sending him out wouldn't be the best move for her, but she now knows he won't use his gift bag. 

Heh. Ross is "doing investigation journalism" for "you all." He gets Omarosa to open up about her time on The Apprentice and in the White House. She cries. Real tears? Ross isn't sure and neither am I. I will say I've been impressed on how she's doing in the house versus what I saw of her on The Apprentice. She tells Ross things aren't okay and won't be okay in the White House and also says she would never vote for "him" again. Oh my.

The girls decide James and Mark as a pawn.

Shannon gets Mark to agree not to use his bag, she'll keep him safe no matter what. She tells James they need a pawn and want him to not use the bag. He says he doesn't want to wear a silly costume anyway. Keshia thinks they should put Chuck and James up if someone uses the bag, claiming they broke the deal.

Uh-oh! Chuck goes for the bag!  Brandi, the other girls and Ross all go for them so there is a random draw by BB. 

All go to the living room. They each drew a colored chip in the Diary Room. BB chose Orange. It's not Ross as his was the only one shown and it was red. 

Nominations Today!
KESHIA has the Orange chip! She takes over HoH. She nominates James and Chuck.  

Since the power was used, the gift bag twist is over. Shannon is pleased -- no blood on her hands.

SueGee said...

And Blogger is still wonky........

Petals said...

Hi.
I've caught the flu (or it has caught ME). No *splashing* for me tonight.

jennifer said...

Hi Jackie! Thanks for hosting, as always you are amazing 🤗

Petals said...

Jess came in to our chatroom earlier, I love her.

Petals said...

who does anyone like/dislike?

Anonymous said...

Hi Jackie and BB Crew !!!!

Petals said...

Squeeg, I saw the Oma thing. I can't tell if she is faking (tears) or throwing grenades at the President due to sour grapes (she was fired, after all).

I really like Ross, Mark, Shannon and Oma. I dislike James, but thats OK- likes himself enough for all of us.😏

Petals said...

I don't, like, you know, KNOW Marissa, but, like, I think, you know, like, she might be, like, OK. You know?

Rockwrites said...

Hi kids!

Rockwrites said...

Ugh! Feel better!!!

Anonymous said...

Why does every fool azz group think they need a name lol

tbc said...

Is James wearing eyeliner?

Rockwrites said...

Woo Shannon starting to talk to the guys! I’m
Amazed she ha that talent for the game.

tbc said...

Hi all! Pinot Grigio and blue corn chips and guacamole!!

Petals said...

thanks Teeb! (i made it)

jennifer said...

Shannon’s response to mark about her being a treat was kinda funny

jennifer said...

Threat*

David said...

Hi everyone =)

Watched some of BB After Dark last night. Anyone else notice the got the backyard, but it looked like just a small part of it. They had an additional wall keeping them from most of the backyard.

That would be nice if they keep it for the summer BB as it lets people slightly outside to do laundry, etc. but gives them a lot of room for the comp set building.

Petals said...

Hey Rochelle!

Shannon is a hard-core BB fan, so she may know the game. Marissa says, like, her son, you know, he like, LOVES BB, you know?

Ross says he's a fan,too.

tbc said...

Ross cracks.me.up

Petals said...

Is James' "brand" being a cocky jerk?

Jackie S. said...

David - I'm wondering if part of the backyard is blocked off because they don't have much time to erect the comps. Remember, this season is less than three weeks. In the regular season, three months, they often spend three days setting up a big comp.

Petals said...

I just hope they leave this nice set-up for BB20.

jennifer said...

Looks like claws are going to come out...

Petals said...

I agree with Omarosa on that point.

David said...

Your right Jackie about the short season. I would have expected someone to be evicted already. They are going to have to have double and triple evictions if they are going to do it weekly.They had better get the show on the road. Kick some entitled rear out of the house. lol

Joe in NY said...

Hi folks,

Hi Petals, sorry you are sick.

I don't like much of any of these people. They make the usual shallow 20-somethings look like Sophocles.

jennifer said...

Yep, me too

jennifer said...

It’s funny that now we have the “older” people to play!

Jackie S. said...

I think tomorrow night's show is a live eviction. Julie said two would be evicted each week. But I think only one this week.

Jackie S. said...

I actually like the ages a lot better with this crew!

Jackie S. said...

And, it is nice to me that every other word in conversations doesn't start with F. That said, I'm not overly thrilled with the cast.

Petals said...

awww, he loves his wife

Petals said...

are the Celeb BB UK seasons as abbreviated as this one?

Petals said...

hey Joe!

Petals said...

here is the famous clip...

Rockwrites said...

Huh. Said last night that Omorosa seemed not at all the evil diva she plays very well. But who knows. Anyone who feels they need to paly that role as she did on The Apprentice and her intro here has AMBITIONS!

Petals said...

I didn't watch her season of Apprentice, so I don't hate her. I think she's actually just a normal woman, attractive, etc. I don't see the horns & pointy tail.

Joe in NY said...

yawn...

They didn't care what Omarosa had to say about Trump when she supported him. So, they don't really care about her opinion now except that it matches theirs.

Jackie S. said...

Rochelle - One thing no one can say about Omarosa is that she isn't smart.

SueGee said...

I'm baaack...

Not a fan of James or Omorosa (never have liked) but otherwise I too like the older people and their conversations..

Sorry you are feeling poorly Petals - I had it early in the season and now I hear you can actually get it again!!

Squeegee

Petals said...

true Joe. I'm glad they switched gears quickly & didn't belabor the political talk

Petals said...

Thanks Squeeg, it's on the way out. The muscle aches & coughing has been the worst.

Jackie S. said...

Petals - The UK versions are full seasons, I think. I believe this was set up mainly to compete and get some kind of ratings while other networks show repeats during the Olympics. And Omarosa was rather um ... explosive on The Apprentice. She was bossy and wanted to control all.

David said...

LOL Jackie. I liked the way to tip-toed around how she was portrayed on the Apprentice.

SueGee said...

Petals - the coughing lasts the longest

I think Omo will restrain herself at first and then get more and more controlling

Hah!!

Rockwrites said...

True, true!! Do you think the tears were real Jackie?

Joe in NY said...

Well, that was one of the most uneventful twists in BB history. LOL

Petals said...

Thanks Jackie. Was good to see everyone.

tbc said...

Bye, bye, James!!!

David said...

Thank's Jackie. I hope you feel better. =)

Hope you continue to get better Penny. I have been lucky not to get the cold going around this year so far.

See everyone next time =)

SueGee said...

Night everyone - see you tomorrow night

Jackie S. said...

Not sure, Rochelle. Among other things, I think Omarosa is probably a good actress.

Thanks for coming by! This show schedule is gonna kill me! Another two hours tomorrow and I'll have a live feeds report up late tonight.

tbc said...

Thanks for the hosting and posting, Jackie!! Feel better.

Good night everyone. Not sure if I’ll be here tomorrow with the Olympic Opening Ceremony taking place.

Rockwrites said...

I know- only do what you can Jackie. Its tough to keep this up! Maybe just posts the page each show so pll can comment and you can fill it in later!

Rockwrites said...

Thank for the reminder about the olympics tbc

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie,

Is there someone else who can share the responsibility with you?

uncartie said...

Omarosa's whisper comments actually made it into a question posed at today's White House Press conference.@@ SueGee reported it made in into the nightly news. Based on that it's a slam dunk that she goes to the final 3 no matter what. CBS can't buy that kind of publicity,so I expect her to get all the help she needs to avoid eviction.
