Celebrity BB3: Power of Veto, Live Eviction and Curse Reveal Blog Party - Feb. 4

 Are you ready for two hours of pseudo-celebrity hamsters? Got your snacks? Got your tasty adult beverages? Is the comfy chair all set up with plush toss pillows? Have you got your eye-drops to combat the eye fatigue incurred by rolling your eyes too much? It sounds like we're ready!

I've already mentioned what we can expect from tonight's big show in the title. Now, the live feeds have been on and, since this is a TV show post, no spoilers until it's aired on the show, please! Also, for a schedule of the whacked-out cram as many episodes into three weeks as you can season, check out this post.

As we go into the first eviction, we cannot forget the esteemed Lifeguard SueGee who, while brutal with a whistle, had a soft heart and let some folks sneaking over the fence into the blog pool:

Cynthia Bailey: Indiana Jane, Glenn Allen

Todd Bridges: Donna in Alabama, Jackie

Todrick Hall: Chrob61, Monty 924

Chris Kattan: Skyriverblue, Rich in Buffalo

Chris Kirkpatrick: Judi Sweeney, CherryPie

Carson Kressley: Fred aka TwoBlackAces

Teddi Mellencamp: JonMD1267, Krysta

Shanna Moakley: SueGee, Caela

Mirai Nagasu: Clover, Dr_Celine

Lamar Odum: Jennasmom, Marthalight

Miesha Tate: David, Sharon N.

I will be live-blogging and constantly updating this post with the major happenings as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the fun discussion!

Julie is dressed in a relatively simple black one shoulder/one wide strap dress. We start off with the Previously On ... of course.

We pick up the taped action (only eviction is live) after the nominations ceremony. Mirai is trying to put on a happy face even though she's anything but happy.

Miesha tells people that Carson is the pawn, Mirai the target. Todrick asked if Carson knew beforehand and she wouldn't tell. Todrick is developing a bit of a crush on Miesha as does Chris Kirkpatrick.

Chris Kattan is really being an angel trying to calm down Mirai. 

Teddi tells Carson she thinks Todrick is leaking information to Miesha. Oh, geez ... Miesha and Todrick are already talking final two.

We're getting filler segments on walking with pink Crocs on and such. Shanna is gossiping about Lamar and his Kardashian wedding. She called her a 'donkey' on Wendy Williams.

Veto player drawing -- Miesha draws Cynthia. Carson draws Lamar. Mirai gets Houseguest's Choice and chooses Todrick. Todrick tells Miesha that Carson is a huge threat and should go while they can get him out. She tossed in Chris Kattan's name if veto is used. (Obviously also a huge threat.) 

Veto Comp time! They will be called out one by one to compete. Carson enters a winter wonderland. Chalets, ski lifts, bus stop, etc. Schedule Snafu. Drunk assistant. Have to figure out the order needed to visit each stop/shop after getting discombobulated texts on a billboard cell phone. Miesha goes second. Then Cynthia. Then Lamar. Followed by Todrick. Then Mirai.

Results: Lamar 30 min / Miesha 8.58 / Todrick 16.52 / Mirai 16.58 / Cynthia 22.43 / Carson 3.54

CARSON wins the Power of Veto!

Mirai approaches Miesha. She tells her if she stays and wins HOH next week, Miesha is safe. Miesha tells Mirai she is thinking of putting up Kattan. Todrick joins them. Mirai is willing to target Carson if she stays and wins HOH.

Shanna is worried because she knows Teddi has a deal with Miesha. She goes to Miesha and offers information on what she knows. She offers to be a plant, a double agent so to speak.

Veto Meeting -- Surprise, surprise ... Carson saves himself. Todrick has advised Miesha to put up Carson's ally Teddi. Will she? She does. It's now Mirai and Teddi on the block.

Marai tries to bond with everyone she can. Carson enlists Cynthia on a Save Teddi Mission.

To the living room, first to find out the curse of the Mon Won hat. The hat is out of fashion. Turn the logo upside down and it's Nom Now. They must pass it around again and the last person to receive it is an automatic nominee. That person has to remove Mirai or Teddy from the block and replace them.

Miesha and Carson are safe and don't participate. Todd gets it last, saves Mirai.

So, it's Todd and Teddi on the block for the eviction just a few minutes away.

They get to make a plea to stay:

Todd - Do what you gotta do. That's all.

Teddi - Says nice things about Todd. Fought to win with integrity. Puts in a dig about backdoor being the worst way to go out.

The votes to evict are:

Lamar -- Teddi

Chris Kattan -- Todd

Commercial break

Todrick -- Teddi

Cynthia -- Todd

Chris Kirkpatrick -- Teddi

Carson -- Todd

Mirai -- Teddi

Shanna -- Teddi

With a vote of five to three, Teddi is evicted.

Celebrity BB3: Live Feeds into Friday, Feb. 4

 

A thrill a minute!

We didn't have to wait until Friday for an update on the delay of the live feeds. And, we apparently missed a brouhaha of some sort. Or, at the very least, a severe kerfuffle. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Dubious Celebrity Statuses:

• The live feeds delay wasn't a technical issue. 
• It seems that, for some sort of misbehavior, Chris Kirkpatrick was sent out of the house overnight to a hotel.
• Were they thinking of removing him permanently?
• And, does it all have something to do with various references about Mirai's claim that one man in the house was making her "uncomfortable"?
• Was there TOUCHING? 
• Oh my.
• I do not really know as the feeds were not on.
• But there was something. Something happened.
• They were aware when the feeds went live. I really wish they'd just leave them in the dark about that.
• We know from the shows that Miesha won HOH and nominated Carson (as a pawn) and Mirai (initially as a pawn but she went around spilling secrets) with a Backdoor Teddi plan in hand.
• They have already held their Power of Veto Comp.
• The greatest laid plans of Miesha and men have been knocked akilter but kinda sorta what she wanted.
• CARSON won the Power of Veto.
• So, now it's Mirai and Teddi on the block.
• Teddi is steaming about being backdoored with no chance to save herself with the veto.
• She was dwelling on it almost every time I saw her -- ranting about how cowardly an act it was on Miesha's part.
• Although a group of them are a bit displeased with Mirai's actions and lack of loyalty, they do seem to be leaning to evicting Teddi.
• In other news, we dealt last season with Derek F playing dumb and evoting people off. Well, Lamar has his own Lamarisms but his are due to lack of knowledge about the game. According to him tonight they will veto the eviction! Heehee.
• Several are talking about Carson's huge target growing on his back. They were already worried about his most excellent social game but were unaware that he might be able to win comps.
• In more other news, they're calling their Diary Room sessions "interviews." Hmm. BB kept them up until the wee hours "interviewing" them.
• In even more other news, they seem to have a large supply of booze.
• Remember -- we have a two-hour show tonight 8PM-10PM ET/PT which will include a live eviction and expose whatever curse that handbag-hat holds.

Ohh ... did they almost say "Bye-bye-bye" to him?

Lamar eats a lot. Chris sleeps a lot.

What side of the house do I side with?

To me, she looks a bit Kardashian-esque.
Maybe it's the Botox.

Not just a social butterfly!

Celebrity BB3: Feb. 3 Nominations Show Blog Party

 

I just don't know. While I wasn't overly impressed with last night's season premiere, mainly because I really don't know most of the celebs, I thought I'd have some insight from the live feeds going into tonight's episode. Nope. The live feeds are "delayed" and we should check back on Friday. 

So, going into tonight's episode, all I really know is some kind of power will be introduced, Miesha is HoH and promised Todrick safety because she likes him, she doesn't like Teddi so much and wouldn't promise her safety, Carson knows everybody, Chris Kattan is desperately trying to be funny, Todd Bridges and Mirai seem to be the most sane there, I'm not the only one who gets NKOTB and NSYNC confused, etc.

I guess we'll see what tonight has to offer. On a sidenote, I looked up the cast for the new Survivor type "celeb" show Beyond the Edge and don't know most of them either. I know Jodie Sweetin as a kid from Full House. And, get this ... I know World Metta Peace from Celebrity BB1. Wasn't he the whiner who wanted to go home and quit? Oh, yeah. Let's just cast him on more shows!

Well, let's get this show on the road (so to speak) ... I'll be updating this entry with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Previously on is trying to make it all just so exciting! We pick up the action as they come in from playing for HOH. Of course, they all want to know what is in that Gala box.

Miesha wants Todrick to be in an athletic alliance -- her, Todrick, Lamar. Then Chris Kirkpatrick wants to be in with him, too. Now Mirai and Teddi want him? Cynthia is also "popular" with alliance seekers.

Mirai and Teddi have joined Gays and Girls. Now Carson wants to call it Formation. 

Chris Kattan can't sleep because Todd is snoring. Uh-oh, many are awake due to it. However, he remains popular as they all enjoy a whacked tattoo he has.

Now they're talking Kardashian/Lamar ex-marriage. Yawnsers.

Miesha wants to build relationships before she nominates anyone. although Todd and Chris Kattan have been brought up, she really wants Teddi to go home. She doesn't trust her.

They have to gather in the living room to open the Gala Gift. It looks like a costume; a dramatic voice says the person who has it will be untouchable. Designer Mon Won? -- it's a hat. They pass the hat around and the last one who has it will be safe. It's down to either Shanna or Cynthia will be safe. Cynthia doesn't want it, Shanna does.

CYNTHIA IS SAFE FOR THE WEEK.

Whoa, according to the card read even if you're not nominated, you could go home. Hmm. The Mon Won curse.

Teddi has figured out that Miesha is going to target her. Miesha recruits Mirai for the strong alliance. She tells her that she wants Teddi out. But then she asks Mirai if she would go up as a pawn.

Mirai tells Teddi that Miesha is targeting her and may backdoor her because she thinks she's a threat. Teddi tells Todrick. He wants to tell Miesha. He tells her.

Teddi tries to deal with Miesha saying if she doesn't put her up, she (Teddi) won't nominate her.

Now Miesha goes to Carson promising him safety but he would go on the block as a pawn.

Time for the nominations. First she nominates Mirai, then Carson. Marai fierce competitor. Carson amazing social game.

Two-hour eviction show tomorrow night. 8-10PM ET/PT.

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Season Finale Blog Party

Well, here it is … the season finale! Due to them airing a clips filler show the last episode, much of tonight's live show will be taped. The HoH comp they'll be airing is almost a week old now! Grr. I'll be live blogging the major events as they air here on the East Coast -- refresh the page to get the latest update! As always, the party is in the comments … join in on the fun!

My personal favorites for the win aren't in the final five. I was a Kato/Tom fan. I also wish Jonathan had had a bit longer in the house. His Diary Room segments were entertaining. Most of all, I think I would have liked Anthony in the house. It's too bad he was out before the live feeds even got going!

Anyway, we're down to Dina, Tamar, Kandi, Lolo and Ricky for the start of the finale show. Here's the updated Lifeguard Glenn's blog pool standings:

Donna NY - Dina
Bizaro22 - Kandi
Cheryl in NC - Lolo
Jennifer - Ricky
Monty924 - Tamar
Joyce Johnson - Dina
Ayana - Kandi
CaelaXO - Lolo
Fred AKA Two Aces - Ricky
Janice - Tamar
Skyriver Blue - Lolo
Donna in FL - Kandi
Sharon N - Lolo
Alicia in Tx - Tamar
David - Dina
Renee Buck/Renee from NJ - Ricky

Okay, let's get this show wrapped up and set aside -- Survivor is coming! By the way, if you want in on the blog pool for Survivor Edge of Extinction -- sign up at THIS LINK. Please don't sign up on this CBB post.

Previously on ends and we continue with the zipline flying puzzle HoH comp taped last week. Not surprisingly, Dina didn't understand that they have a 20 second time limit to push the buttons or the puzzle boards demagnetize. She got disqualified first. Kandi is struggling.

RICKY wins HoH! Tamar and Lolo are excited. Kandi and Dina not so much.

Right into the Nominations Ceremony -- Ricky nominates Dina, then Kandi. He says "everyone knew the deal." Um. Okay. He tells us it's because they don't speak with him. Ricky tells Tamar he wants to be with her in the final two. He tells her if Kandi or Dina win veto, Lolo would have to go up. Tamar is fine with that!

PoV Comp -- they have to steal four artifacts from the BB Museum ducking around laser beams. Veto Heist. Quickest (and right artifacts stolen) chamster wins. Dina is setting off the alarms left and right. Each time they trip an alarm (laser beam), they have to stop and run to the security desk to reset. Tamar just screams. 

Dina 17.34
Tamar 13.22
Kandi 9.53
Ricky 9.21
Lolo 9.08

LOLO wins the Power of Veto!

Lolo tells Ricky she doesn't want to leave Kandi in the game -- if she saves Dina, Tamar would go up and Kandi would go home. She also proposes it to Tamar. Of course, Tamar says no, not a good idea. Then Tamar tries to work it so that Dina is more of a threat than Kandi. Hmm. Ricky is just sitting there.

Veto Meeting -- Lolo does NOT use the veto. Dina and Kandi remain on the block.

With only Tamar and Lolo voting, Ricky knows he might have to be the tiebreaker.

Anthony "Mooch" is live on the show with a Julie interview. He gives her his take on each remaining chamster. He has something nice to say about all. Then she asked him Trump things. I don't do politics here, so … next! He will not be voting for the winner of the season but will stick around to greet everybody.

First live eviction time. To the living room --
Kandi - Been a pleasure, says nice things to and about all, says Dina would beat anyone because she's amazing, survived the block the most times.
Dina - Winggirl with Kandi. Like Kandi, says nice things to and about all. Admits she and Kandi were floaters.

The votes to evict:
Lolo - Kandi
Tamar - Dina

It's a tie. Ricky will have to decide! He evicts KANDI. He obviously knows she's a bigger threat for the win than Dina.

Time for the final HoH comp --
All compete. Judges for Celebrity Look-a-Like Junior. Show seven videos, junior will make three statements, Julie will ask which is false statement. A, B or C answers. Seven questions.

1. All right
2. Ricky and Tamar right.
3. Dina only one wrong
4. Dina only one wrong again.
5. Dina wrong again
6. Ricky only one right
7. Tie between Ricky and Tamar

To the tiebreaker … the kids are cute, BTW …
Tamar tried to vote real low for the win, but RICKY wins the final HoH!

He needs to decide who goes to the jury and who's in the final two with him.

Dina - Love you, learned so much from you. 
Tamar - One of my favorite people in the house, wish you the best of luck
Lolo - Thank, grateful to know you, would like to stay

Ricky chooses to evict Dina, then Lolo. (He did that right in my opinion.)

In the Julie interview, Lolo seems bitter, won't be friends with Ricky after. Dina, as always, is upbeat.

Jury questioning time …
Tom - Ricky - Biggest game move? Not freaking out when on the block. Tamar - gunning for the two Kato and Tom to go as biggest threats.

Natalie - Biggest regret, Ricky -- not winning Slaughterhouse, could have kept us together. Tamar - getting too emotional. (Y'think?) 

Ryan - Tamar, why you over Ricky? He is amazing, but I'm a huge fan of the show, limited amount of lying, played the best I could. Ricky - Played hard, tried to give good advice -- he's not answering the regret question at all, he's saying good stuff about himself.

Speeches --
Tamar -- Thanks, thanks to so many, it's turned into a spiritual journey, was meant to be, had lots of troubles but promised to never give up on herself and always be kind. Asking you all to be kind. 

Ricky -- I apologize for getting all upset. Wanted to go on the show to show who he really is not what people think he is. Keep it real, keep it moving, keep it alive. Being a role model, someone who can bounce back. 

Time to vote:
Jonathan first, voting for someone who had my back best they could
Ryan -- Good luck
Joey -- See what God has in store
Kato -- Congratulations
Natalie -- Difficult, love you both
Tom -- Tough choice for a lot of reasons, congratulations, the one who made me laugh the most
Kandi -- Glad one of us made it
Dina -- Love you both
Lolo -- Voting based on her heart

Julie talks to the jurors who watched the show. Tom loves the BB community online. Kato is glad not to be a sound bite. Ryan is glad to show himself, not the headline. Jonathan and Joey are grateful for new best buddies.

The votes --
Jonathan -- Tamar
Ryan -- Tamar
Joey -- Tamar
Kato -- Tamar
Natalie -- Tamar

TAMAR WINS CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER 2!

Into commercial, will then reveal last four votes and winner of AFP.

Tom, Kandi, Dina and Lolo all voted for Tamar -- it was unanimous. 

America's Favorite is … TOM GREEN!

I feel this all went down as it should. Congratulations blog pool winners Monty924, Janice and Alicia in Tx -- bragging rights handed out!

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Live Feeds Into the Last Sleep - Feb. 13

Workin' it

Here's the latest from inside that Celeb BB House of The Last Sleep:

• Well, not the last sleep like they're going to die or anything like that!
• It's their last sleep in the house.
• And, they're all itching to get out. They'd never last the three months of normal seasons.
• As expected, Lolo did not use the veto and nominations remain Dina and Kandi.
• Lolo thinks she has a super-tight alliance with Tamar and, had she saved one with the veto, Tamar would be the only possible replacement.
• On the other hand, Tamar is working to convince Lolo that DINA (of all people) is a big threat to win it all and must go.
• Ha. Really now. 
• I think it's more that Tamar is trying for that final two with Kandi despite their ups and downs.
• While Dina is liked by all … she's a nice enough person … she's not likely to win at all. It's a wonder she made it this far. She's just kind of ditzy and seems to often reside detached from the world as it is.
• Meanwhile, while Kandi hasn't won anything (maybe I'm forgetting something), she has been talking game. She has spent a lot of the short season on the block. She's definitely more into it all than is Dina.
• I still doubt Kandi would win against either Tamar or Lolo.
• Ricky is a bit of a wild card. I doubt he'd win against either of them either.
• I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens tonight.
• It sounds like a good half of the "live" finale will be taped as they decided to show the clips episode instead of at least the HoH comp the other night.
• If Lolo makes the final two, it's almost certain she'll win. She's repeatedly played the "I desperately need the money" card. She also seems to be a lonely type person seeking friends in this world. It's kind of sad.
• But I don't think it's criteria for a win!
• Maybe that's just me ...

Has he a chance against the women?

Block buddies

A threat to win? Bwahahaha!

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Live Feeds, PoV Winner - Feb. 12

You gotta know when to hold, know when to fold

Am I still ticked that last night was a filler clips show? I mean, we're talking the penultimate show here and it was clips! There are only 13 episodes to the whole season and they wasted the one before the finale on that stuff?

Grr.

Well, the live feeds were blocked for hours once again as the chamsters played out the veto comp. Lolo won, so it's all a bit too predictable now. I'm sure Dina and Kandi will remain on the block. The only two voting will be Tamar and Lolo. Tamar should push for Kandi to stay, but she herself can be a bit unpredictable. Ricky would be the tiebreaker if there is one needed. If it comes to that, I think he'd probably keep Kandi because he has more connection with her than he has with Dina.

I think we all realize who the final three will be.

'nuff said.

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Clips Show Blog Party - Feb. 11

This is what happens when they only have 13 episodes on television. Tonight they're jamming in the last HoH, Nominations, apparently a live Veto and Eviction. 

I'll be live blogging and updating this entry constantly as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh this page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please stop in and join the fun!

Here are Lifeguard Glenn's latest blog pool standings --

Donna NY - Dina
Bizaro22 - Kandi
Cheryl in NC - Lolo
Jennifer - Ricky
Monty924 - Tamar
Joyce Johnson - Dina
Ayana - Kandi
CaelaXO - Lolo
Fred AKA Two Aces - Ricky
Janice - Tamar
Skyriver Blue - Lolo
Donna in FL - Kandi
Sharon N - Lolo
Alicia in Tx - Tamar
David - Dina
Renee Buck/Renee from NJ - Ricky

Buckle in … turbulence ahead!

Well, after the Previously On segment, that is.

Tamar is an excited gal. Who woulda thunk that? Lolo is lamenting the loss of Natalie, but says now she's playing for the both of them. Kandi is just thrilled to still be in the house. She kind of trusts Dina and Tamar, but will depend on herself.

They have a champagne breakfast when the doorbell rings. It's Mark McGrath from CBB1. Lots of small talk, talk of the Mooch and flashbacks. More small talk. (Have we got time for this?) More flashbacks.

More and more flashbacks. I might be wrong on all they SHOULD cover tonight. I guess it's a Whatever Show. I really prefer more organization in these things.

Kato trying to make Ricky laugh, Tamar and Lolo arguing over sea bass. Flashback after flashback.

Ack. My apologies … but I just can't live blog a clips show. I should have looked more into what was supposed to be on tonight. Now they'll really have to cram everything in two hours on the Wednesday night finale.

Finally to the start of the HoH comp which was days ago. Marissa is there and it's set up in a theater theme. It's her musical. Horn sounds hit button to operate music box, fly to get puzzle pieces, all timed. They're dressed as bats.

And, we just get the start of the comp.

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Live Feeds Into Monday, Feb. 11

Kandi needs to stay!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Why Are They Celebrities?:

• Still no Power of Veto Comp -- it should be today.
• Kandi and Dina are now referring to themselves as Frick and Frack, a term previously used for Tom and Kato.
• The biggest news was that they (and we) watched really brief videos from their loved ones.
• Er, well … Lolo's was actually from her training partner.
• She said her mother is camera shy. Now, if it's true, I can actually believe that. Apparently a smart woman, she's avoiding the BB publicity at any cost as Lolo's mom!
• Tamar's little boy is indeed adorable and certainly wasn't camera shy.
• He came across as a lot more mellow than his Mom!
• They have no clue what the comps ahead will be so they're studying days, items in the house and more.
• Although it's Kandi and Dina on the block and one could immediately leave, the others all realize they're down to two days left.
• They're already talking like the house is a past memory!
• They're all in a state of packing it up.
• Not much game talk at all went on.
• Everything game hinges on the veto. 
• Unless she pulls off a miracle and wins veto, I'm thinking it will be Dina going home.
• However, I also think the big threat to win would be Kandi.
• I wouldn't mind seeing her win it at all!

Often mellow, always devious

Impressive attire? Um. No.

If they don't get her out ...

Watching the loved ones videos

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Live Feeds, Nominations into Sunday Feb. 10

Boring much there?

Here's the latest from inside that Celebrity Big Brother House of Predictability:

• The snoozefest yesterday and into last night was only shattered by the occasional blocked live feeds.
• So … the alliance of Ricky, Lolo and (somewhat but they don't really know that) Tamar rule the roost with Dina and Kandi as the likely targets of Ricky, the HoH.
• Yup.
• He nominated Kandi and Dina for eviction.
• Now, if I were in the house (and playing better than I actually would in real life), I'd want to sit next to Dina in the Final Two for a sure win.
• The heck with taking a strong player to the end! If I did that, I would probably lose to the strong player!
• Tamar told Ricky she'd vote the way he wishes.
• Ricky and Tamar also discussed their precious ally Lolo. Tamar thinks they need to get her out or she will win the show. Ricky told her that if Dina or Kandi came off the block, he'd put Lolo up. Prior to their talk, Ricky mentioned that if one of the nominees wins the veto, he'd have no choice but to put one of them up. Well, duh. It's down to five!
• Hmm.
• Blocked to the live feeds, Mark McGrath made a visit. Hosting a comp? It doesn't really seem so. But he was there. That's the word on the street. Er, in the house.
• Dina is sure that she will be the one going home unless a miracle occurs and she wins the veto. 
• She thinks none of the others like her.
• Oh my. I doubt it's dislike. As a person, she's certainly pleasant and likable. As a chamster, she's a fish out of water, though.
• So, there's where we stand.
• It's quite likely that, unless the nominees change with the veto, Dina will be the next chamster out.
• I think Lolo and Tamar will both honor Ricky's decision which one will go.
• I also believe Ricky has a bit of a soft spot for Kandi and he definitely spends more time with her than with Dina.
• And that's that.

Boomf! He died of boredom

Count on Tamar to wake him up!

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Live Feeds into Saturday, HoH - Feb. 9

Product placement?

Here's the latest from inside that Celebrity Big Brother House of It's Almost Over:

• Once again they had the HoH comp blocked to the live feeds after the live (double) eviction show.
• Between the blow-ups in the house and the odd timing of comps, I think we must be at a record for the percentage of the time we endured blocked live feeds.
• Grr.
• When the dust settled and the feeds returned, Ricky had won his first HoH of the season.
• Well, that seems to make things very predictable.
• Lolo is his sole true member of the bedroom alliance. So, she's probably safe.
• Tamar is his good but not as tight as Lolo alliance member. So, she's probably safe.
• That only leaves Dina and Kandi to be nominated.
• Dina is already talking about packing her bag.
• One interesting factoid would be … if Dina goes, three of the final four chamsters will be black. I believe that's a first for BB. Heck, they usually run with just two tokens in the house to begin with! 
• We got the typical HoH reveal and Ricky read a letter from his wife. She actually seems to be enjoying depending on herself for a bit. However, she's looking forward to his "victorious" return home.
• They were all tired and bored yet had to stay awake for his room reveal.
• I was tired and bored. So I went to bed.
• They were told that they had something to do early in the morning -- the memories of chamsters who passed the halls maybe. Sure enough, the feeds are blocked once again as I type this up.
• Not really live feeds, but personal thoughts -- After what Tom said in his Julie interview, I fear if Lolo makes the final two, she'll win because she HAS played the "pity me, I need the money" card. I personally don't think any of the people going on BB or Survivor or any of them should win because they "need the money more." I'm a best gameplay kind of supporter.
• In my opinion, best gameplay of those left? I'd say Tamar although she'd certainly drive me crazy if I lived with her. Then would be either Ricky or Kandi. Ricky has played more lowkey, but he has been playing the game. Kandi has struggled to stay afloat in the game more than anyone else. I'd prefer either Lolo/Dina NOT win this thing. I already mentioned why with Lolo and Dina seems like a nice person, but she hasn't really played the game at all.

Lolo ain't gonna gogo anytime soon

I totally understand the feeling, Dina

Ricky finally wins an HoH

Solitaire in more ways than cards

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Live Double Eviction Show Blog Party

We're getting down to the final days of Celebrity Big Brother 2. Tonight is a two hour whirlwind live show with a double eviction. Unlike previous seasons of regular BB, this might catch the chamsters off guard a bit. What a shame!

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be live-blogging and updating this entry with the events. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

But first … let's get the updated Lifeguard Glenn's blog pool --

Chamster watchers ready?

Seven left in the house, five days left in the game … and that brings us to Previously On. Another Celebrity Breaking News twist will be announced. Have we even go time for that?

Julie tells us it's Day 24 and the men have been dropping like flies now with Tom nominating the only other man beside himself. She says they do not know the double eviction is looming ahead.

We get some of the fallout of his Ricky/Natalie nominations. Not so much from Ricky, but Natalie and Lolo are saying he lied to them. The Bedroom Bunch is hoping for Lolo to win the veto, save one of them and Tom would have to put someone else up. 

Tom gets Kandi worried that she might go on the block if the veto is used/

Veto player pick time --
Tamar, Kandi and Dina. Tom is thrilled because he didn't want Lolo to play and win. She will host the comp. She is NOT happy.

It's to the living room. She tells them it's double eviction. Tamar is loud about it in reaction. What a shock!

POV comp time! Old silent movies theme in black and white with them all in costume. They have to turn black and white film to color. It's the exploding color comp. Color Blast. Tom really wants Ricky out while Kandi would prefer Natalie to go. Tamar wants to throw the veto to keep in good with others. 

Ricky out in the first round.
Second round - Kandi out and Tamar out.
Third round - Natalie and Dina out.
TOM WINS POV!

Julie tells us that Tom wants to send Ricky home. Well, duh. Tom tells Kandi he wants to use the veto because he wants Natalie to stay and Ricky to go. Kandi doesn't like his idea of him taking Natalie down and putting Tamar up. She gets mad, saying it's threatening. She says it's a democracy not a dictatorship. She runs to Tamar and tells her. 

While Tamar took it calmly with Kandi, she goes and tells Natalie and Ricky., Then it becomes dramatic. Then she confronts Tom and yells that he's threatening her and is a bully. BTW - he's not bullying at all. Now he thinks Kandi is no longer with him. He tells us to expect the unexpected.

Time for the veto meeting. Tom talks to the cameras and tells us most of the house is against him. He's going to surprise some people. He's not telling any of the others. 

He actually lets the nominees talk.
Natalie loves the game and could be a great ally.
Ricky knows he's the main target and won't waste his breath.

Tom uses the veto to save the legendary Ricky Williams -- as he proudly put it. He puts Lolo in Ricky's place on the block. He tells Lolo he thinks she should be safe. He wishes both good luck.

Kandi and Tamar are shocked. Kandi, in particular, is thrilled Natalie remains on the block. Natalie and Lolo were ride or die peeps. Natalie tells Lolo she could walk out tomorrow and be pleased with her game. Tamar asks Natalie why she's dying on the sword. She tells Natalie she should ask Ricky if she has his vote. So, now, despite both saying they wouldn't campaign against each other Tamar has Natalie going. 

Time for the first eviction, to the living room --
Lolo - Trying to find the goodness of all and lists each 
Natalie - Thanks God and CBS, et.al. Tears. What an experience. Talks about her room, will remember it forever. On and on.

The votes to evict --
Kandi - Natalie
Tamar - Natalie
Ricky - Natalie
Dina - Natalie

Another unanimous vote and Natalie is out. She was expecting it and was halfway out of her chair as Julie announced the results. She hugged all, shunning Tom.

Breaking News alert before Julie can talk to her. Double eviction, new opportunity to keep yourself safe in the double eviction tonight. One will be safe, ALL compete in a safety comp, winner will be safe but will have to sit out of HoH comp.

Back to the Natalie interview …

Safety comp …
Living Art. In the house there are people dressed as living art. Lower part of the house. 90 seconds to look and count. They all go at once. 

Ricky, Lolo and Kandi locked in answers. All in with 34 seconds to spare.
22 is the correct answer. TAMAR wins safety!

HoH comp time. Tom is NOT eligible to compete, nor is Tamar.

Living Art again. Some is disappearing from the house. They have 90 seconds to determine how many are missing. 

LOLO wins HoH. (Gah!)

Lolo nominates Tom because he wins everything, just gameplay. She says she can't decide and Julie tells her she will lose the HoH if she doesn't make a decision. She decided Kandi. Live veto comp next.

There is an America's Favorite Houseguest vote online at the CBS website.

Time for the veto comp. All play for it. They're in a line of booths. Cousins is the name. New BB sitcom with past Celeb BB, seven questions, most right wins.

Ross Mathews and Meta World Peace are the stars. 
True or False
1. All right.
2. All right
3. All right
4. Ricky and Lolo got right
5. Lolo and Dina wrong. Ricky in lead.
6. Kandi and Tamar right. Three way tie - Kandi, Ricky and Tamar
7. Lolo and Kandi wrong.

Ricky and Tamar tie, to a tiebreaker. How many seconds in the sitcom Ross appearance.

TAMAR wins the PoV!

Veto meeting time. WHOA! She leaves the nominations the same! I did not expect that!

Second live eviction time --
Tom - Wow, lot of fun, loves the show, strange, exciting, etc. People are taking it so seriously, Ricky remember I took you off the block, says nice things to all.
Kandi - On the block more than anyone else, thanks, Tom is a good competitor.

The votes to evict --
Dina - Tom
Ricky - Tom
Tamar - Tom

Sigh. He's the best player in the house, in my opinion. He's gracious. Tamar dances a gloating dance. He holds the door open for a long time. He tells Julie he's rooting for Lolo when she asks. 

Julie tells them all but Lolo will compete for HoH. All battle it out for PoV. At finale one will be evicted. On live finale, final HoH and HOH eliminates two.

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.
