Celebrity Big Brother 2: Live Eviction Blog Party - Jan. 25

I'll be live-blogging the major events of the show as it airs here on the East Coast. Refresh this page to get the latest news! It should be an action-packed hour with all that's gone on and all they need to air on the show. Of course, the party itself is down in the comments -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Let's get in ON!

Make this Previously On short, please. Julie seemed to imply  a gone chamster was a twist.

The narrator said a shocking twist happened to the house sending one celebrity home. Hmm.

Julie looks nice tonight, dressed in a black dress. 

The Diary Room clips have them all acting like they're there to stay. Ryan is suspicious that the girls might be working against them (their main alliance) and tells Jonathan.

Ryan calls all to the living room and reads from a card. Alerts will be announced to the house to twist the game like never before. They even have a Celebrity News Alert music. An announcer on video tells them one houseguest isn't a houseguest at all. Anthony is missing. He shows up on the video claiming he's part of a Big Brother twist and he's out of the house. He claims he's giving the current nominees a second chance to stay. This is in the form of Mooch's veto. 

Ryan has to immediately replace Anthony with another nominee. He chooses Kandi, saying it doesn't seem like their personalities mesh and he hasn't talked to her much.

The Veto Comp is all about Anthony. At least that's what he warns them.

Ryan tells Jonathan that if he has to replace one of the new nominations bunch, he'll go for Lolo.

Time for Mooch's Veto Comp! Kato and Dina are the other two playing.

Newspaper clippings of Mooch. Some real news, some fake news. The first person to answer the number of real headlines wins the veto.

Kato tells us he wants to save Tom if he wins. Most think there are seven true headlines, one six, one nine. Kato is the last one in with eight true headlines.

KATO wins the Power of Mooch!

Lolo is worried that she'll be backdoored. She's right to worry.

Anthony gives them a touching video goodbye.

Kato tells Tom he wants to save him. He thinks that Tom really wants to be there and knows the game. 

Ryan goes to talk to Lolo and she tells him that she thinks the guys are going to try to backdoor her. He is caught off guard and has absolutely no poker face. Now he's a bit wary and doesn't think he should put her up.

Time for the veto meeting --
The nominees make no speeches. Kato saves Tom. Ryan is totally dazed and confused. He stumbles through putting up Joey.

So, the nominees are Joey, Kandi and Jonathan.

He tells us his target is Kandi. 

Tom tells Kato that they should keep Kandi because she won't be a big threat in the future. Meanwhile, Jonathan and Joey could be strong competitors. They talk it over with Ricky who thinks that it's good to keep Kandi. Meanwhile Lolo is hesitant to keep Kandi because of the Kandi/Tamar drama. Yet she's also worried about leaving Jonathan and Ryan together because she thinks they'll come after her.

Time for the live vote and eviction:
Joey: Been a wild and amazing ride, a pleasure, all here as part of our journey. If I go home, it's been a blessing to be here. 
Kandi: Really enjoying herself, ups and downs, crazy week, really want to stay. Pleease …!
Jonathan: Thanks CBS, craziest best experience in his life, teammate to everyone in the house. I demonstrate teamwork and helped all. Team, please back me up.

The votes to evict:
Dina - Kandi
Kato - Jonathan
Tamar - Jonathan
Into commercial …
Ricky - Jonathan
Tom - Jonathan
Lolo - Jonathan
Eva - Jonathan

Julie tells Joey he had no votes. Six to one, Jonathan is evicted. It's a shame because I enjoyed him. But, if I were in there, I probably would have voted him out, too. He was indeed a threat to win!

He was good in the Julie interview.

Julie tells people to watch the HoH comp play out on the live feeds. I have a post for updates on that right here at this link.
