Celebrity Big Brother 2: HoH, Nominations Show Blog Party - Feb. 7

Ah, a totally taped show and no live eviction tonight. We'll make that up with a double eviction tomorrow night! The schedule has been so weird that I'm actually having to look back to see what was shown on the show and what still won't be shown tonight. Oy!

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be live blogging and updating this entry. Refresh this page to get the latest news! As always, the party is in the comments. I hope to see you there!

Previously on and blah, blah, blah …

Okay, Kato turned black and white. Tom is sure he will be targeted. He thinks he needs to make friends and win HoH. Tamar is celebrating getting Kato out. Lolo thinks he must go after Tom for sure. 

Tom is being nice to all trying to win friends and influence people. Kandi wants to bring him to her side to take out one of the "big dogs." Ricky, Lolo and Natalie are now against Tom, Kandi and Dina. Notice they all leave out Tamar. Kandi is definitely making an effort to get Tom to work with her. He's suspicious, but what else has he got? Really, now.

HOH Comp time! The yard is done up like a Las Vegas casino and they're all dressed accordingly. Omarosa is back to host the comp. Celebrity BB Hotel and Casino. Celebrity Tumbling Dice. Head to head tumbling dice match. Each player in a die and tumbling to go to the correct number. 

Tom challenges Ricky. Tom wins the round.
Ricky is eliminated.

Lolo challenges Tom (no surprise there). Tom wins the round.
Lolo eliminated.

Natalie challenges Dina. Natalie wins the round.
Dina eliminated.

Kandi challenges Natalie. Natalie wins the round.
Kandi eliminated.

It's down to Tom versus Natalie for the win.
TOM WINS HOH!

Tom is a bit self-conscious in this HOH run. He knows he has no real allies. Well, there's Kandi but she ain't no Kato. Natalie, on the other hand, is sure she will go on the block. Ricky is more sure he will go on the block. He sort of has Dina, for what that's worth. She tells him Lolo and Natalie are freaking out. Tom notices that it's the first time Dina's talked game but he needs all the help he can get. 

Natalie think that Kandi, because she chose to compete against her in the comp, is now on Tom's side. "If you're not with us, you're against us." So, she goes to talk to Lolo and Tamar. Tamar, of course, is with Kandi but wants it all to be on the down low. 

Girl talk with Dina. Tamar and Kandi. Dina seems infatuated with an online romance. Tamar calls catfish. Then Natalie joins in.

Tom wants one on one meetings with them all. He tells us that he's going to tell all of them they're not the target. Tom talks to Natalie first. He tells her he'd like to make a safety deal for her not to put him on the block if he keeps her safe. Then he goes and tells her he might have to put her on the block.

Then he talks to Lolo, telling her he wants to put her up as a pawn, wants her to win veto and save herself. He says she's not the target. He also asks for safely. Kind of a dumb move, methinks.

Ricky is up next. Tom tells him he has a proposal. Wants to put him on the block, wants him to win veto and remove himself. Will try to make sure he's not voted out. Please keep me safe. Um. Well. Ricky sees through it just like I do. Ricky proposes his own deal if Tom keeps Natalie, Lolo and himself off the block and Tom remains safe. Tom doesn't trust him but doesn't come out and say it.

Some of Tom's antics. He has been very entertaining on the live feeds this season.

Back to the drama. Natalie is telling Tamar how Kandi is with Tom now. Kandi tells us she doesn't care. Now it's time for Tamar to talk to her buddy Kandi. Tamar tells us that she trusts Kandi more than her bedroom alliances. They want a final two.

Tom tells Kandi he's thinking Ricky/Lolo, keep Lolo safe. If Ricky doesn't win veto, he's out. If he does, Natalie goes up and out. Kandi isn't thrilled with the idea. She thinks he needs to nominate Ricky/Natalie for game reasons. Now, he's already told Natalie he won't put her on the block. What a conundrum! 

Time for the nominations ceremony. He nominates Ricky, then Natalie. He thinks they're incredible athletes, targeting them because they're targeting him.

Natalie is mad because she feels Tom lied to her. Lolo is sure it's all a scheme to backdoor her.
