Celebrity Big Brother: Season Premiere 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 my last post out. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- join on in!

Since the season is so short, I'm not going to have a blog pool going for this one. 

Not sure if big boxy red dresses are best for Julie Chen. We're into the intros. Metta World Peace hasn't a clue about the show.  Man, they're dragging this out. Brandi, Metta, Ross, Mark, Ari go in first.

Shannon is a BB superfan. Hmm. Marissa's SON is the BB superfan. Omarosa is also a self-proclaimed BB superfan.

Finally, 20 minutes into the hour-long show, all the celeb hamsters are in the house. Interesting ... Shannon and Marissa are friends outside the house.

Brandi doesn't like "pretty boys." And Pretty Boy James doesn't like her.

Shannon and Omarosa scheme for a womens alliance along with Marissa. They go after the other women to join in. There are six women and five men. They have the numbers.

HoH competition! They're all dressed in tuxes. Award to "sexiest hg not on the block" -- it's a random pick by where one chooses to stand. Omarosa wins safety for the week and cannot compete.

Award Squeezin' - must squeeze hug their trophies, hang on tight. It's kind of like the hot dog holding comps in the past. The trophies raise. They're wearing goggles -- I'm anticipating a reason for that. 

Oh geez, it's into a song and dance around them with Paul, then Rachel, Jess and Cody in the audience. No, Paul can't sing. Eek. Jesse, Mr. Pectacular.

Marissa falls.

Then the rain starts.  Metta is out. 

Now goop is on them. Mark is down. Ross is out. Chuck is down. Ari is down. Keshia is down, then Brandi.

James tries for a deal with Shannon even though he's the shakier of the remaining two hanging. James slips! 

Shannon is the first HoH of the season!

They have to go into the house and each needs to grab a gift bag. And, we get a commercial. 

Julie tells them that Shannon is HOH for now. Someone's bag will allow them to recast and take over the role of HoH. And, it's "goodnight houseguests."

Hello Jackie and BB crew

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jackie! How you feeling? Hi Vincent, I'll slip you some catnip.
Thank you Jackie, for giving us a place to talk.

I figured I'd watch one episode of this, then decide if I will watch the rest.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Jon. Glad someone else joined.

Anonymous said...

I think my iq is dropping with some of these fools and longing for a normal houseguest lol

Joe in NY said...

Hi folks...

I don't know how long I can tolerate these "celebrities"

Anonymous said...

lol ditto Joe and I think that term is being thrown around loosely

tbc said...

Hi! I’ve brought wine and snacks.

Nickelpeed said...

Boy, Julie isn't dressed to the nines. She looks like she's an old school marm. Really buttoned down tonight.

Joe in NY said...

Mark McGrath looks horrible

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Joe and tbc!!

tbc said...

Mark McGrath looks creepy, Joe

Nickelpeed said...

Keisha grew up to be so beautiful!

Anonymous said...

I also have some solo music coming out lol

tbc said...

She calls herself a legend.... @@

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Jackie and penny and TBC and joe and Jon.

Anonymous said...

Ok I'm sorry love or hate her she showed up in a ballgown that is fn funny lol

Rockwrites said...

Very interesting that these folks want to do this. They had to be paid a decent sum

Rockwrites said...

Help!

David said...

Hi everyone, and Vincent to. =)

Since I am an hour behind you I will have to rely on Jackie's updates and you all for if this is worth watching. Yes, you are the guinea pigs. lol

Rockwrites said...

We all age so i feel bad saying this but I kinda agree Joe

Rockwrites said...

Me too

tbc said...

Omarosa got shot down!!

Rockwrites said...

I jumoed right in before I said hello Jackie, Cincent and everyone!

Joe in NY said...

Rochelle, I'm not sure it's his aging. It looks like bad plastic surgery

Glenn Allen said...

That was interesting of the secret friends being on the show!

Rockwrites said...

I jumped right in before I said hello Jackie, Vincent and everyone

Nickelpeed said...

I have a feeling Omarosa will be the first one out. She's polarizing. She needs to pipe down a little.

tbc said...

Yes, poor Mark McGrath is on the “plastic surgery gone wrong” list...

Jackie S. said...

I can't believe Omarosa's Apprentice season was 15 years ago. I remember AOL Community treated us (the community leaders) and staff to a private room screening party at Trump Tower for one of the episodes.

Joe in NY said...

Way to go, Shannon. You kept the secret for like 5 minutes. And when you spilled, you spilled to OMAROSA!!! Effing brilliant.

Anonymous said...

why would she spill that out the gates lol

tbc said...

Shannon...

Nickelpeed said...

Women's alliances never work out. Ross hates Omarosa so much, she's targeted.

Joe in NY said...

Hello, Jackie!

You want to make my students laugh, just mention AOL.

Joe in NY said...

OK, can we all say AA? Has she stopped drinking since she got into the house?

tbc said...

Hoe code... @@. Yeah, that’s girl power

Anonymous said...

i still have aol email lol

David said...

LOL Jon, I never had AOL, but I still have a MSN e-mail account. =)

Rockwrites said...

Maybe a nose slimming but looks like just a lil too much cheek injections. Just creates sunken eyes- and worse, he has no volume in his hair on the sides to balance them out- and color that is cool but isn’t flattering. Add em all up- thats my best guess!

Nickelpeed said...

I still use, AOL, Joe. It's user friendly to me. You can't use it to play games or anything like that, but I mainly use it for my e-mail.

Cheryl in NC said...

Hey Jackie and everyone!

tbc said...

I just got rid of my msn account. I had it for years! Too much spam though

Joe in NY said...

PERFECT!!!!

Anonymous said...

and the conspiracy starts lol

Cheryl in NC said...

seriously??

Nickelpeed said...

Wow, good for her. LOL. I know that really made Ross mad.

Joe in NY said...

Let's see, we've got 2 professional atheletes, a drunk, and two overweight celebrities...I wonder who's going to win?

Barb said...

fixed all ready by BB #5

Cheryl in NC said...

Safety goggles ..ha

Nickelpeed said...

This would be very hard. I'm surprised they don't slide down on it.

Joe in NY said...

I still have an AOL account. I don't use the gateway anymore, they are discontinuing it unless you pay for it and I'm too cheap to pay. LOL

Nickelpeed said...

I thought the same thing, Barb. I know she would have been first one on the block.

Rockwrites said...

WOW that was an intense court ordered cigarettes kills you commercial. Did that air coast to coast?

Rockwrites said...

Yes! They will get rained on!!

Joe in NY said...

Yes, they've been running those anti-smoking ads more lately. Must be a new settlement.

Cheryl in NC said...

Aired here in the east.

Nickelpeed said...

Joe, I just really don't know how to use the other e-mails. I've had AOL for so long, it's ingrained in my head. We pay for it. Don't know how long I'll keep it up.

Anonymous said...

You can access aol email online without paying that's what I use

Jackie S. said...

Actually, from what I've seen on their live feed teases, Omarosa seems to be getting along well with most, if not all, of the others.

Barb said...

I think so too Nickel

Glenn Allen said...

Hi Cheryl! How are you?

Nickelpeed said...

Yes, these smoking commercials are part of a settlement.

Joe in NY said...

jesus, not Paul

Cheryl in NC said...

Noooooo

Nickelpeed said...

Why??????????

Anonymous said...

like they had to trot out paul

tbc said...

Oh God!! I had hoped to never see Paul ever again

Cheryl in NC said...

Could they make it any worse

Anonymous said...

Rachel i'm down with lol

Joe in NY said...

Jody. LOL

Nickelpeed said...

Hahahahahaha. Gotta love Chuck Lidell. Ha

tbc said...

I love Marissa!

Joe in NY said...

I'm going to call her Brandi Alexander

Nickelpeed said...

I'm not a Brandy fan. She is funny, though.

Joe in NY said...

swoosh a dribble...oh, dear God

Cheryl in NC said...

Lol

Anonymous said...

lol swooshadribble

tbc said...

Oh come on

SueGee said...

Hi to everyone and specially to Jackie & Vincent!! Little late but caught up I think LOL

Trying to eat dinner and read..

Squeegee

Joe in NY said...

unsurprisingly, it's the 4 lightest people standing

Nickelpeed said...

The beauty queen is the one that was named miss universe by mistake.

Rockwrites said...

Interestingly, for all omorosa’s Diva stunts, in every other moment I see her being friendly and helpful and chatty without the attitude. I know its an act but ... which behavior is the REAL O? what do you think?

Joe in NY said...

Seriously, how did half of these people become famous?

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Sue and Cheryl!!

Cheryl in NC said...

Yeah Joe..this comp pretty much made for them

Joe in NY said...

Omarosa has always been very smart. She's not to be underestimated. Her problem is testosterone. If you press her, she will come out swinging.

Joe in NY said...

Yes, Cheryl, because they are largely just standing on the feet of the statue. Small feet, small mass.

Nickelpeed said...

Hi Rochelle, people who are close to her say she's very friendly and nice. She said working in the white house taught her a lot.....specifically not to trust the people you think are your side. LOL

Cheryl in NC said...

Probably a little of both Rochelle

Nickelpeed said...

I hope Shannon stays in it.

Joe in NY said...

I don't know how I feel about this Amazing Race partner swap. I wonder how they are going to work the elimination.

I'll reserve judgment until I see what they actually do, but this is not Survivor. Shifting alliances serves no purpose. It could create some opportunities for teams to form alliances with other teams, but I kind of prefer my teams to be my teams.

Glenn Allen said...

How many evictions will they have a week?

Cheryl in NC said...

I am wandering about that too Joe,because I have seen nothing about it.

Nickelpeed said...

There she goes. Omarosa is good at getting under people's skin.

Nickelpeed said...

YES!!!!

SueGee said...

I think the TAR swap has to be for just one challenge???

tbc said...

Ross needs to be in the girls alliance

Nickelpeed said...

Another commercial? WHAT? I guess they feel they don't have enough footage on these people. Do they get paid for this? Or does it all go to charity?

Nickelpeed said...

Ross hates doesn't like Omarosa. I really want the women to stay together. It usually does not happen, though

Nickelpeed said...

Oh no! There it goes. There's going to be a male HOH

tbc said...

Aww, poor Shannon!

Nickelpeed said...

Now on to TAR. I work tomorrow night, so I'll have to watch it on DVR.

Cheryl in NC said...

3 in a row

Nickelpeed said...

See everyone, probably Friday! Thanks Jackie!! Now on to TAR!

Jackie S. said...

The TAE post is up.

David said...

Thanks Jackie =)

Just coming on here. Thanks for the warning about Paul, Jessie so I won't be completely shocked and disgusted. lol

Anonymous said...

Liking this already! Hope Rossi goes far he is hunny!

Cheryl in NC said...

Got a miss tomorrow but see y'all Friday.

Anonymous said...

thanks Jackie!!! see you guys later and have good night!!!

RyzandShyn said...

Oh, hell, no! Omarosa and Brandi? Both? I can't spend another minute of my life watching either one of them.
Good thing you're here, Jackie....I'll spy until those two witches are gone.
Love the Hairspray girl, always have!

uncartie said...

I didn't watch...I'm proud of myself :) Omarosa got safety the first week without doing anything? Gee,who could have predicted the most well known of these overly available "celebrities" would get safety without even doing anything.@@ Kinda like a certain "vet" got it last year. @@ Just a coincidinky...I'm sure! (eyeroll)
