Celebrity Big Brother: Live Feeds Updates, Nominations - Feb. 17

Trying to line up partnerships

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Get Your Game On:

• As you know from my HoH updates post, Omarosa out-sat the others and is now HoH.
• Instead of the Survivor slogan (Outwit, Outplay, Outlast), Celeb BB's will be Outprimp, Outnap, Outsat.
• Omarosa's target is Ross. If not Ross, Brandi will do.
• I think she thinks Ross is more of competitor and threat while she knows Brandi is nasty about her behind her back.
• She talked to both Mark and James, telling them she needs their support and their vote for Ross to go home.
• Mind you, at that time nominations hadn't even been made yet!
• She had promised James safety if he dropped in the HoH comp and he did so.
• She thinks that Ari/Brandi or Ross/Marissa need to be broken up.
• And she likes Ari more than she likes Brandi!
• Brandi admitted to all her hinky Mark vote. She claims that it was a sympathy vote for Shannon's sake.
• Um. I thought she had seen BB often enough to know the hinky vote should never be admitted and just cause drama!
• The slop eaters -- Metta, Ross and Mark -- are only on it until tomorrow.
• They're actually pretty excited about experimenting with slop recipes. 
• Well, not Metta so much. He said he'll nap more to avoid it. But, then again, Metta doesn't need an excuse to nap.
• It would be very different if they knew they had to be on it for a week ... or two.
• While Omarosa enlisted both Mark and James, it's not an alliance.
• All three feel they're playing their own games and the protection deals, which work for Omarosa next nominations, are just in place for now.
• Omarosa actually coughed real coughs while alone. They sounded very different from the fake camera coughs seen on the show.
• The chamsters have come to the realization that they have an incredibly busy day followed by doldrums.
• Omarosa is definitely a superfan. She told the others that the feedsters keep track of whether the hamsters wash their hands or not coming out of the toilet.
• Heh.
• So far, I haven't caught anyone on this cast.
• Brandi tried to talk Omarosa into nominating Mark.
• Like that's gonna happen!
• Mark and James tried to figure out moves ahead and the best one out (of Brandi or Ross) for their own games.
• When the nominations (blocked by Critter Cam) were over, it's ...
• (building the suspense)
• (still building the suspense)
• But, first ...
• ... those were cute adoptable puppies!
• ... Brandi and Ross!
• Ari rightfully figures out that Omarosa made deals with Mark and James to target Ross.
• Both nominees are taking it in stride.
