Celebrity Big Brother 2: Jan. 23 Blog Party

As the show airs here on the East Coast I'll be live blogging the major happenings -- refresh this page to see the latest! I'm still a bit lacking with names and faces on some of the women although I have the men down. (Hmm … wonder why I'm good with the men and not the women? Maybe I like the male hamsters better!) So, please bear with me.

Blog pool entries are now closed. We had a larger turnout than I expected. I'm glad Glenn is handling the lifeguard duties! And, here are his random match-ups as well as a note from him:

On with the show!

Let's start out with Previously On. Julie is hosting, but this show is pre-taped. It's not live.

We open up just after nominations. Jonathan seems more put out than any of the others on the block. Tamar is complaining to the girls that Ryan changed his noms plans due to Jonathan getting in his ear not to put up Dina. 

Jonathan has now dubbed Ryan his "ride or die." Then he laughs at the way Ryan pronounces "athletic" with an extra syllable. 

Into a discussion of Trump's tweeting history. 

Lolo has grown suspicious of Jonathan, thinks he's working against their alliance. She thinks he needs to go. The others tell her they need the numbers. She thinks they're all being played by them. Tamar definitely agrees.

Lolo and Natalie Eva whatever are trying to think of a name for their final two. And, then they notice Tamar in the room. OOPSIE! Anthony walks in and they tell him to go away. Tamar is trying to lighten up a threat she made. 

A side note - I would HATE to be in the house with Tamar. BUT … she's very observant and is playing the game more than many.

Lolo and Tamar tell us separately that Jonathan and Ryan are hanging out too much and probably have a final two deal. Lolo starts dropping hints to the boys and calls them out as final two. But, she's right … they are not playing smart.

Veto players picking time! Only two will be picked at random by Ryan so there's a total of six. He gets Ricky as the first draw. Joey the second.

Right into the veto comp, all done up as an old Western town. On the run from the law, they have to stack up their gold bars. They will have to stay on bucking horses for so many bucks, then stack 50 bars. It's the old spin and stagger, then try to function comp with horses.

RICKY wins the PoV! He didn't want to win it and has no immediate plans on what he's going to do with it.

More Kandi/Tamar drama coming. Their previous history has lots of baggage. Kandi tells us it was just a misunderstanding and Tamar took all that happened on the old tour as moves against her. Then we get Tamar looking like Audrey in her shades and hoodie crying hysterically in the diary room.

Ryan wants to talk to Ricky -- he tells us that he doesn't really want any of the guys going home. He thinks he'd like to put Lolo on the block. He's worried that the girls plan to vote out Jonathan. 

Oh, geez. Now Kandi tells Tamar that she was being petty. They supposedly were trying to make amends. It didn't work.

Ricky goes to Lolo and tells her that Ryan wants him to use the veto and put her up. He tells us he's letting everyone stress out as he stays mellow. Now they're all talking about the "girls alliance." Tamar and Kandi do not want Lolo to go on the block. So, at least Kandi/Tamar have a cease fire for a bit.

Time for the veto meeting! Ricky does NOT use the power of veto. He tells them no one came up to him with a strong enough offer and he didn't want to get blood on his hands. 

And there it ends. The announcer says a shocking new twist might send a second celebrity packing on Friday. 

There has been news in the house, so check the live feeds reports!
