Celebrity Big Brother: Friday Night Blog Party - Feb. 09

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!

And, yes ... it's two hours tonight. Eep. 

Julie is dressed better tonight -- no boxy big red dress! 

We start off with a recap. I expected that. It is indeed the first live eviction with PoV and eviction all included.

James thinks he was put up for no reason. How wrong can he be? Keshia, like Shannon before her, wants to target James. Chuck wouldn't have been Keshia's choice if he hadn't gone for the bag. Shannon hints to James that he's not the target in hopes that he won't try super hard to win the veto.

Mark told James that if he (Mark) wins veto, he'll use it to save him.

Omarosa told Keshia that seven people alliances on BB never work out and suggests BGM -- Black Girl Magic. In other words, an alliance between the two of them. Omarosa tells us that it's just a side alliance because she thinks her first ally, Shannon, has gotten a target on her back.

Random Veto Pick time --
Keshia, Chuck and James. Keshia gets Houseguest's Choice and goes for Shannon. James ends up with Ari. Chuck gets Mark. She chooses Omarosa to host the comp.

Mark foolishly tells Keshia he is thinking of saving James if he wins veto. Uh-oh. She then talks to Chuck.  

A segment with Julie about what they miss from home. Julie lets them in on a few happenings with a true/false headlines game. Nothing that will affect the game, but what about no information from the outside world? Hmm.

The Four Seasons Spiritual Spa is the set-up for the veto comp. It's a retrieving letters, spelling the longest word comp. There is a punishment for losers. Giant noses sneeze on them as they scramble about for letters.

Ari - WAING
Mark - SOME
Keshia - PRIMED
Shannon - RESPONSIBILITIES
James - FAMIL
Chuck - SPANNED 

Ari and James get costumes. Shannon wins PoV!

Keshia wants Shannon to take Chuck down, put Mark up (because he said he'd use the veto to save James) and still target James. Ross doesn't think the plan makes sense, but would go with it.

Omarosa tells Shannon that she's only thinking for herself and not the alliance because Shannon wanted to talk to Chuck. Ah, a bit of Control-arosa has arrived! Ross is feeling left out because he thinks the women alliance might be dismissive of him. Cracks are forming. 

Brandi, who knows and "loves" Ross, is shocked. Yes, shocked, at how they're treating him. He goes on to talk to Marissa. Now she's questioning her alliance and feels she let down her community. Oh, tears flow quietly. Ross tells us that he will let them all underestimate him right up to the finale.  

Ari and James's punishment is to wear baby costumes and crawl instead of walk. Every time a baby crying is played, they have to suck their bottles.

Keshia tells Omarosa that she thinks James and Mark are more dangerous than Chuck in the game. They want Shannon to take Chuck down. Ross thinks that's bad for Shannon's game and tells her so.  

When Shannon goes to Keshia about it, Keshia is a bit abrupt and reminds her that they had all agreed. Omarosa and Keshia are pushing their BGM bit. Shannon is just getting all befuddled and frustrated. Brandi now seems to have declared (although not to anyone but us) Omarosa as her personal Public Enemy Number One. 

Shannon tells Omarosa that "someone" told her that using the veto would benefit Omarosa more than anyone else. Omarosa thinks it's Brandi and that the move is perfect -- taking Chuck down and putting Mark up. Oh, geez. Shannon cries and seems to agree with her.

Time for the veto meeting!
Of course, James is interrupted by the crying baby and must drink from his bottle.
James - Had a lot of fun, good sport, want to continue, did not use the bag, good ally.
Chuck - Like them, having fun, playing the game by going for the bag, good ally.

Shannon does NOT use the veto. Both Keshia and Omarosa look very displeased.  

Segment with commentary from Ian, Derrick, Nicole and Josh. 

Ross builds his alliance with Shannon. Neither of them trust Omarosa. Shannon would like to flip the vote and get James to work with her and Ross. Shannon brings Marissa, Ari and Brandi into the flip idea.  

To the living room for the live vote.
James - Humble and filled with gratitude 
Chuck - Great to get to know you all, will try to help others

The votes to evict:
Brandi - Chuck
Ari - Chuck
Omarosa - James
Ross - Chuck
Metta - Chuck
Marissa - Chuck
Shannon - Chuck
Mark - Chuck 

The flip worked. I personally LIKE Chuck more than I like James. I don't care for James at all. But it will throw more chaos into the game. That's always good. 

Omarosa and Keshia are shocked. Omarosa ran ahead to the door, giving him something and telling him it was from Omarosa. Hmm. 

All of the evicted hamsters will be on the jury. A big difference is that they aren't sequestered and can watch it all. He got sad goodbye messages. Everyone liked him. He was just in the wrong eviction chair at the wrong time.

Sunday will be the HoH/nominations show. Not sure when they'll actually play for it. But when I know, you'll know.
