Celebrity Big Brother: Live Feeds Updates, Nominations - Feb. 17

Trying to line up partnerships

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Get Your Game On:

• As you know from my HoH updates post, Omarosa out-sat the others and is now HoH.
• Instead of the Survivor slogan (Outwit, Outplay, Outlast), Celeb BB's will be Outprimp, Outnap, Outsat.
• Omarosa's target is Ross. If not Ross, Brandi will do.
• I think she thinks Ross is more of competitor and threat while she knows Brandi is nasty about her behind her back.
• She talked to both Mark and James, telling them she needs their support and their vote for Ross to go home.
• Mind you, at that time nominations hadn't even been made yet!
• She had promised James safety if he dropped in the HoH comp and he did so.
• She thinks that Ari/Brandi or Ross/Marissa need to be broken up.
• And she likes Ari more than she likes Brandi!
• Brandi admitted to all her hinky Mark vote. She claims that it was a sympathy vote for Shannon's sake.
• Um. I thought she had seen BB often enough to know the hinky vote should never be admitted and just cause drama!
• The slop eaters -- Metta, Ross and Mark -- are only on it until tomorrow.
• They're actually pretty excited about experimenting with slop recipes. 
• Well, not Metta so much. He said he'll nap more to avoid it. But, then again, Metta doesn't need an excuse to nap.
• It would be very different if they knew they had to be on it for a week ... or two.
• While Omarosa enlisted both Mark and James, it's not an alliance.
• All three feel they're playing their own games and the protection deals, which work for Omarosa next nominations, are just in place for now.
• Omarosa actually coughed real coughs while alone. They sounded very different from the fake camera coughs seen on the show.
• The chamsters have come to the realization that they have an incredibly busy day followed by doldrums.
• Omarosa is definitely a superfan. She told the others that the feedsters keep track of whether the hamsters wash their hands or not coming out of the toilet.
• Heh.
• So far, I haven't caught anyone on this cast.
• Brandi tried to talk Omarosa into nominating Mark.
• Like that's gonna happen!
• Mark and James tried to figure out moves ahead and the best one out (of Brandi or Ross) for their own games.
• When the nominations (blocked by Critter Cam) were over, it's ...
• (building the suspense)
• (still building the suspense)
• But, first ...
• ... those were cute adoptable puppies!
• ... Brandi and Ross!
• Ari rightfully figures out that Omarosa made deals with Mark and James to target Ross.
• Both nominees are taking it in stride.

Celebrity Big Brother: HoH Updates - Feb. 16

Once the live feeds return, I'll be updating this post with the happenings of the HoH comp. Refresh this post to get the latest.

10:01pm ET - Kitty Cam on. 
10:05pm ET - Puppy Cam on. They're adorable, but give us the comp please!

10:10pm ET - Feeds back, looks like all are still up. They got sprayed with something that's supposed to be sweat.
Brief Puppy Cam 

By the way, the BB time they use is about three minutes behind real time.

 10:25pm ET - All still in. This might be the most boring endurance comp ever on the show. They should be standing. They might be able to sit longer than I can with my back issues.

10:30pm ET - Metta is out -- his size was a disadvantage.

10:38pm ET - Ross out.

11:00pm ET - Only Ross and Metta down. WORST MOST BORING ENDURANCE COMP I'VE SEEN EVER ON THE FEEDS.

11:02pm ET - Mark down
11:04pm ET - Marissa down

So, it's Metta, Ross and Mark on slop.

 11:14pm ET - They threw balls at them. It should be rocks thrown just to get this MOST BORING COMP EVER over with!

11:24pm ET - Brandi out

So we have Omarosa, James still up. Some deal talking. Omarosa promised James safety and ... he drops after a bit.

OMAROSA IS THE NEW HOH! 

And, I am SO out of here for the night!

Celebrity Big Brother: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Feb. 16

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 this post out. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- join on in!

I'm not feeling very well tonight, so I ask that folks bear with me. It probably won't be my best live blogging on record. 

I once again refuse to recap the recap. 

Julie is wearing red once again, this time a pinky kind of red. But at least it's not a box!

We pick up the aftermath of the nominations. Shannon feels very betrayed. She doesn't think that she's as strong a player as they think she is. Tears, oh those BB tears. James thinks he's just a pawn and Shannon is the target. Yes, Brandi, he's cocky but I don't think it's knocking him down a peg at all. 

Shannon is going around pleading her case. As a superfan, she should know that just being a superfan is an issue. Then to be so strong in comps? Girl, you put the target on your back all your little self! 

And, it's not really a great idea to debate with Nice Omarosa who's being quite firm but not excited. Yep, Omarosa -- flatter her and then vote her out, huh? More tears. Now, I know that Omarosa can be such a #@#$, but she's smart. Her DR take on Shannon's reaction is spot on.

Brandi has no filter! She asked Omarosa if she ever slept with Donald Trump!?!?! "God, no!," says Omarosa. 

Veto Comp player pick time. Random draw, of course. Ari gets Ross. Shannon gets her nemesis Omarosa. James gets Brandi. 

Ah, a Metta and Orwell segment. I love me some Metta entertainment! He finds out that Orwell is a guy. Heh. He'll love him anyway.

Shannon thinks that she can work on Omarosa. Omarosa tells her that Marissa wanted to backdoor her before. Oh my. She plays it all up so well. Then Omarosa plants seeds with James that "they" want him out. James asks the others about it and tells them that Omarosa told him.

Ah, there's the sneaky Omarosa we know so well. They all know they can't trust her and talk about putting her up as a renom if someone comes down ... just to make her worry.

Omarosa denies all her sneakiness that indeed went down. It's kind of like she's a more attractive Tony from Survivor, or Russell Hantz. They get James and Omarosa in the room with them. He says she said he's in trouble. She says she was just encouraging him and being nice. James wants out of the conversation saying he wants no part of the drama. He leaves. The others know James is telling the truth and Omarosa is lying. Hmm.

What? Now Ari isn't sure that they should evict Shannon before James. Ross tries to point out to her that whoever of the two remains in the house will target them. They think that it might be best to work with James and make a deal for next week, tell him he's not the target. Brandi is a bit reluctant because James is so obnoxious. But they'll give it a go anyway.

Shannon just knows they're all upstairs talking to James. She confides in Metta. She tells him she'd work with him. He's not keen on the idea. 

The "others" offer him final five deal. He says okay to it, telling us he's just telling them what they want to hear. 

They're spoiling these chamsters. Now they get video messages of encouragement from home. Ari breaks down ... her father is very ill and gave her greetings. Heck, now Mark's in tears.

Obligatory Omarosa/White House talk -- Sean Spicer, she likes him but mocks him. Says Trump wouldn't be there if something rose to the level of impeachment.

Veto Comp time! Swanky restaurant, dining in the dark experience, immersing you in the food, four course meal as quick as possible. Moving through, completing all four courses, turning on the light ... quickest wins. We get night vision cameras. Ross is in first. Pea soup is attacking him. Each course is in a different room. Cheese and honey next. Walking through the honey. Handmade spaghetti and getting lost in sauce is next. Exploding chocolate lave cake next. 

James goes second. Then Ari. Omarosa next. Brandi's in there now. Last, but she who needs to win the most, Shannon.

Results:
Ross 9.46
Ari 12.02
Omarosa 19.29
Brandi 21.29
Shannon 8.49
James 6.24
Those are minutes and seconds. JAMES WINS POV! 

More Diary Room tears from Shannon.

Ari doesn't want more blood on her hands, but someone has to go up. They talk about putting Mark up. They think that Omarosa would be a riskier choice. 

Time for the veto meeting. James saves himself. Ari puts Mark up in his place. (Mark knew it was coming from the live feeds -- they said he's a pawn. The show is editing to act like he doesn't know his pawnmanship.) 

Ross told Shannon she's safe and she says he won't have her vote in the end. Shannon told James that he needs to break up Ross/Marissa and Brandi/Ari. 

Eviction time!
Mark - The house makes you an emotional wreck, talks about wife and kids, honor to play game with all, ton of fun, late at night the question will haunt you ... who will do the dishes and towels.
Shannon - Thanks CBS, favorite show, her animal charity work rhino horns and elephants, we need to make change now.

Votes to evict:
Ross - Shannon
Marissa - Shannon
Omarosa - Shannon
James - Shannon
Brandi - Mark (ohhh ... a hinky vote!)
Metta - Shannon

So, she's out. Bye, Shannon, you played too hard at the start! She exits graciously and tells Metta where Orwell is hidden.

HoH - BB Arena - Court side seats -- last person sitting will win. First three to drop get slop. It's a sitting wall comp as opposed to the usual standing ones. 

I have a post in the wings to follow this on the live feeds. Head there next!

Celebrity Big Brother: Live Feeds into Friday - Feb. 16

Why? I'm tired of "ears" in the BB house!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of An Expected Eviction:

• Yep, yep ... no suspense going on with this one.
• As you know, James won the Power of Veto.
• While James's game strategy is more along the lines of "I'm so good at this, I'm bound to win" versus any actual strategy, he's not a total fool.
• He saved himself at the Veto Ceremony.
• As per the earlier conversations among the Powers That Be, Ari put Mark up on the block as a pawn.
• Right now, since he's a floater -- not doing much of anything in the game itself, yet getting along well with all -- he's a perfect pawn.
• But, I'd say, with double evictions coming up next week, he should turn his game on. If he continues to float to the end, he's likely lose against anyone who's actually played.
• So, it's Shannon and Mark on the block.
• She knows the score.
• She knows she's going to be evicted.
• Thankfully, her breakdown of the other day ended and she's more accepting of things.
• Instead of breaking down, she's trying to reach out to make deals with others -- she'll throw comps, she'll vote they way they want, she'll do this, she'll do that. 
• She put effort into her campaign. But she knows she's sunk at this point.
• Shannon spent a lot of time with Metta going over strategy, possible comps coming up, the strengths and weaknesses of others in various types of comps.
• Meanwhile, Omarosa continues to be Nice Omarosa. 
• James is still big on the target list.
• While they prefer him out, they've decided that if he (James) wins HoH, they'll push for Metta/Omarosa nominations and Omarosa out.
• So, even though she's been cordial, mingling, friendly Nice Omarosa, they know she could turn on the drop of a hat.
• Providing he doesn't win HoH, James will be the next target. After him, Omarosa, then Mark. Probably then Metta. It's a fairly tight Ari, Ross, Brandi and Marissa pact. The biggest doubt for staying within that would probably be Ross -- Omarosa has pointed out that he's been playing all sides. As the numbers dwindle, his sneakery might catch up to him. 

You're just the pawn, Mark.

Bwaha! I have them all fooled!

This is my shocked look

Coaching the Coach

Celebrity Big Brother: Live Feeds into Thursday, PoV - Feb. 15

Oh my. There are no words.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Chamsters Gone Wild:

• The day started out with Shannon apologizing for her breakdown and more pep talks.
• Metta thinks he'll only lose if he walks out of there making no new friends.
• They talked about there being no quitters in the house, but Metta said they wouldn't LET him quit!
• Metta surprised Ross by telling him that he (Metta) had been in a few gay bars in Vancouver. Ross had it in his mind that both Chuck and Metta might have some problems over his homosexuality. No way with Metta. I actually don't think Chuck would have had any problems either.
• Lots and lots of small talk.
• The idea is still that, if Shannon comes off the block, James will be evicted.
• James, of course, is unaware of this. He thinks he's loved by all. Cough.
• The others have him convinced that he's on the block as a pawn.
• Heh.
• The feeds were blocked for several hours with Critter Can as they did the PoV comp.
• Well, I guess James isn't going home.
• James won the veto.
• BB gave them a HUGE Valentine's Day/After PoV Comp feast.
• Omarosa and Metta talked about how Ross did really well on the comp and that he's better at the game than people notice.
• The chamsters talked about regular BB hamsters having sex on the live feeds and in the house.
• Y'know, I do like that this bunch isn't all into hooking up and showmances! To me, it's a breath of fresh air!
• Now Brandi is feeling bad that Shannon will go this week.
• Ari reminds her that Shannon is good at the game and is playing the game. They need to get her out while they have the chance.
• Brandi told Ari that they're making a mistake by keeping Metta -- if he's there at the end, he'll win.
• Um. I adore my Metta entertainment in the house. But he isn't great at the comps and his total lack of BB game knowledge hurts his chances.
• The names of Omarosa or Mark up as a pawn against Shannon were mentioned.
• They think Mark would be less risky.
• So do I. 

Huge after comp feast

Marissa has balls!

Late night hanging out

The Amazing Race 30: Valentine's Day Blog Party

Ready for two hours of this? Oy! I'll be live blogging the major happenings the best I can as they air here on the East Coast. But the real party is in the comments area -- come join in on the fun! 

I'm thinking that one of these two hours will be a non-Philimination so there will be a final four teams going into it next week's season finale.

The Left Coast Lovely SqueeGee SueGee has updated the blog pool --  

#TeamBigBrother (Cody & Jessica)    DeLee, ChicMc, Megan H
#TeamExtreme (Kristi & Jen)    Janice from GA/FL, Kristen From Ohio
#TeamIndyCar (Alex & Conor)    SueGee, Brian, Brenda
#TeamOceanRescue (Lucas & Brittany)    Donna in FL, Glenn Allen
#TeamYale (Henry & Evan)    Jackie, Ed in Ohio

Philiminated    
#TeamRingGirls (Dessie & Kayla)   
#TeamGoatYoga (April & Sarah)    Sharon N, Merrilee
#TeamSlamDunk (Cedric & Shawn)    Nickelpeed, Willie in NC
#TeamChomp (Joey & Tim)    David, Chrob61, tbc 
#TeamWellStrung (Trevor & Chris)    Fred aka TwoBlackAces, Petals 
#TeamFirefighters (Eric & Daniel)    Judi Sweeney, Indiana Jane

Are we ready for this? Let's GO! 

Jess had to get new sneakers. She and Cody now have no love lost for Ocean -- Lucas and Brittany. Teams are heading several thousand miles away to Bahrain. I believe Cody speaks some Arabic. He might have an edge there.

All teams are on the same flight with a connection in Dubai. Lucas seems to have lost his passport. Not good for them! We get a cliffhanger before the commercial as the other teams are boarding the second plane while Lucas and Brittany commiserate. They missed the flight and have to go to the consulate for a replacement.

Teams need to carry timber to scales to weigh 300 pounds to the foremen. It's related to the local shipbuilding traditions.

HA! The Ski Gals are done first beating out Indy Guys! They have to eat a local sweet to get their next clue. 

Indy and Ski make it there first. Then Jess and Cody, then Yale.

Finally Lucas has a passport and they're on the way. 

Jess and Cody make it first to the next clue. It's searching pots for ten matching relics -- one of those needle in a haystack challenges. Jess finds yet another kitty cat to hug. Gah! Evan is steering Henry wrong!

Jess and Cody finish first. Then Kristi and Jen. Then Alex and Conor. Finally, Henry and Evan.

Heh. They have to milk a camel next. Because the other teams got lost, Alex and Conor got there first. They finish it first just as Kristi and Jen get there.

Alex and Conor are on their way to the Pit Stop. Then Kristi and Jen.

Pit Stop:
1. Alex and Conor - each win $7,500.

Henry and Evan arrive at the camels. Jess and Cody are lost. 

2. Kristi and Jen

Cody and Jess just got to the camels. Jess can't handle the milking and passes it off to Cody. 
3. Henry and Evan
4. Jess and Cody 

It's now night time and Lucas and Brittany have arrived in Bahrain. Phil meets up with them. They have been Philiminated. 

Now the teams are heading to Thailand. All of them are there at the same time, starting out. They have to find a garlet (sp?) on elephant statues to get their next clue.  

Detour -- Elephant farm -- take height and weight measurements or seize it, catching frogs. Jess and Cody are stymied trying to find a lady to whom to give the garlet they found.

Wow! Kristi and Jen beat out Yale at the elephant detour. They're now riding an elephant away. Jess is scared of the frogs. Cody caught all their frogs. Now both BB and Indy are done with the frogs. Yale is stuck with the elephant measurements. They're finally on their way.

Roadblock - Who wants to Thai something new? Eating three scorpions while other scorpions are crawling on your teammate. Then the eaters have to eat a frog.

Onto the next Pit Stop, Indy in first but BB on their tails. Now Kristi and Jen are on their way. Yale is quite behind and just got to the Roadblock.

Pit Stop:
1. Alex and Conor - won a trip
2. Jess and Cody 
3. Jen and Kristi 
4. Henry and Evan -- non-Philimination leg (as I figured)

They will have a speed bump in next week's two hour finale.

Celebrity Big Brother : Valentine's Day Show 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 this post out. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- join on in!

Oh. And, happy Valentine's Day!

Prayers to the latest whacko gun victims. Sigh.

We'll start by expecting the expected recap. Don't expect me to recap the recap!

Into the aftermath of Keshia going. Omarosa now understands the emotions when people leave the house. She also thinks that now she'll be on the block every nomination. 

Now a segment on Keshia's reasoning for wanting to go home. Of course, they wanted to backdoor Shannon. Keshia tells them that she would be in on the plan but really needs to go home ... like NOW. Brandi isn't understanding the breast milk situation at all. It's all about her needs, y'know. Even Omarosa (Nice Omarosa) thinks Brandi is out of line.

Shannon hasn't a clue that the original plan was to backdoor her. She thinks all is fine and dandy. After all, Keshia was Shannon's target anyway. Shannon and James make up despite Keshia's throwing Shannon under the bus. Both Shannon and James really think Marissa and Ross are with them. Okaaay ... 

HoH Comp time -- Cruise ship set up BB Celebrity Voyage. It's mini golf with big balls and mallets. Huge fans are on them. 

Brandi is up first. 5.56
Shannon 3.04 
Omarosa Out of running
Marissa Out of running 
Ari 2.18 
Metta Out of running
Mark Out of running
James Out of running by a few seconds.

Ari is the new HOH!

Shannon feels safe now. Uh-oh. She shouldn't. 

Both Omarosa and Shannon are thrilled that Ari won HoH. Only Omarosa should be. James think Omarosa and Metta need to go on the block. Shannon pretty much agrees with him. 

Metta continues to crack me up. I'm glad he's not the target and they're still on sending Shannon out. 

In the obligatory Omarosa/White House segment -- she says kind things about Omarosa and discusses how they can't make many changes in the buildings, so they do more interior decorating. 

Ross tried to have Ari go for a real backdoor plan with Omarosa and Metta on the block, then Shannon put up to replace one with the veto and no chance to get off the block.

But the consensus is to put James and Shannon on the block. Shannon is the real target. But if she saves herself, James is the secondary target and he can go.

They use Metta to keep Shannon from talking nominations with Ari. He plays napping. 

Shannon is starting to get a bit leery. She tells James that she's sure they're going up. She tells him that's she's ready to give up and go home. James tries to pep talk her. And now the tears come. 

Nominations Ceremony --
Ari nominates James and Shannon. Nothing personal, biggest competitors. 

The blog party post for The Amazing Race will be posted in a moment. Move on over if you watch it!

Celebrity Big Brother: Live Feeds into Wednesday, Nominations - Feb. 14

Will he rescue James?

My apologies for my absence last night. I had some technical issues. But, on with the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Who Are These People Again?:

• Ari didn't take to Ross's suggestions for nominations and went with her own initial instinct.
• She nominated James and Shannon.
• Of course, she had her Brandi in her ear.
• Brandi really wanted more of a backdoor situation.
• The Nice Omarosa has worked her way right in with Brandi and Ari.
• In my personal opinion, that will only last until either Brandi or Omarosa start hissing and the claws come out.
• When the nominations were made, Shannon broke down. I mean really ... all over the place.
• She thinks she's been the target since the first day.
• Heck, the first day she was not a target -- they didn't even have a comp until after they'd be in the house a week!
• Everyone tried to console her to no avail.
• The plan is for some to tell James the target is Shannon and others to tell Shannon the target is James.
• Yeah, that'll work!
• Ross told James that he would save him with the veto if he wins it.
• I was thinking, "Yeah, right." But, on second thought, Ross just might do that to make sure Shannon is voted out because Shannon is a more dangerous player (to Ross) than James. And, Ari seems to be more wary of James than Shannon.
• However, the crowd thought of Brandi and Ari do want Shannon out first.
• So, if Shannon wins the veto, they will have to option to oust James instead.
• Meanwhile, Metta professed his love for Orwell the Owl, said he (Metta, not Orwell) will be a grandfather soon and did not try to escape.
• If they have America vote on the Most Entertaining on the Live Feeds, my vote would go for Metta.
• He's also a beans expert -- knows which type of beans give which kind of health benefits. Who woulda thunk it?
• Ross is still wary of Nice Omarosa.
• Well, duh. As it should be.
• He thinks Omarosa is only on board with them right now because Ari is HoH.
• Well, duh.
• There's some talk of putting Mark on the block as a pawn if the veto is used.
• Brandi, Omarosa and Ross were the random PoV player picks. I assume that comp will be later today. Who knows? I don't think even production knows these days. 

The cat ears are a bit too much

Kind and compassionate. Ahem.

Nice Omarosa mingling

In Omarosa's sights ... pow

Celebrity Big Brother: Live Feeds into Tuesday, HoH - Feb. 13

What's in store for James?

Oh my gosh. Last night after the live show, the feeds were messed up forever! I'd have audio, no video. Or video, no audio. Or sketchy choppy audio/video. I gave up. This morning I kept getting an error message. Finally I got in and had to flashback to catch up.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Chamsters ("Celebrity" Hamsters):

• There's a new HoH in town, but let's catch up a bit first.
• Omarosa thinks that Shannon has to be upset with the way things went down and the fact that she (O) remains in the house.
• Yeah, I'd say so. No love lost there.
• Marissa and Omarosa discussed Metta's leaving the building and wonder if it might disqualify him. O doesn't think so as long as "he didn't break the bubble." I don't know what that means and we went immediately to Puppy Cam. I also don't know if they were talking about a new incident or old. After two previous attempts to leave, Metta has seemed good about staying.
• Ohh! The Puppy/Critter Cam was for the Hoh comp!
• Ari won! She's the new Head of Household.
• Uh-oh. Shannon and James seem to be a bit reserved about the win.
• Gee, I wonder why. Heh.
• Ari enlisted Omarosa and Brandi to save her from any attempts that James and Shannon might make to get close to her.
• Oh geez ... now Ari is coughing and wheezing and asking for an inhaler. Can't any of these folks BREATHE?
• Hmm. Metta, while taking a shower, seemed way too happy and said something about a new twist in the game.
• He did claim to be stressed on the inside though and said BB is harder than a basketball championship game.
• In Omarosa obligatory White House talk, she talked of the building itself being like a museum. I can see that. She also had kind words about Melania, saying that she was both smart and nice.
• Ross is for Metta and Omarosa on the block and backdooring Shannon.
• Well, yeah ... no blood on his hands then!
• Brandi thinks they can't just nominate Shannon because she'd play hard for the veto. She thinks that James and Mark as a pawn on the block might be best.
• Remember, the alliance working on these noms is: Ross, Marissa, Brandi and Ari. It's hard to keep up with the latest revolving alliances!
• Heehee ... Metta can't believe that the guy who sang and danced (Paul) in their first comp was a finalist twice and couldn't win.
• Ah, somehow I missed that Metta walked off set after the live show. Apparently, no harm no foul. He said he was upset about the Keshia situation and shouldn't let anxiety get to him.
• Orwell the Owl keeps him sane. At least he thinks so. I'm actually entertained by Metta in the house. Yeah, he does weird stuff. But I think he seems to have a good heart and, though dumb about the game of BB, he's pretty astute about other things of life.
• In talking with Ross, Metta told him that they really need to get rid of Shannon because she's such a threat to win. He compared her last comp performance to a Michael Jordan. He told the girls the same. He would be in on any plan to get Shannon out.
• The bed shuffle is in. Ari asked Ross to sleep in the HoH room. Omarosa doesn't want to sleep in the room with just men. Marissa doesn't want Omarosa and Shannon to be alone together.
• Meanwhile, Ari and Omarosa were together. Heh. Ari thinks the best thing for her (O) game was going to the hospital. Omarosa pounded another nail in the Shannon coffin by telling Ari that Shannon told her (O) not to compete in the HoH comp and how angry Shannon was when Marissa won the veto.
• Oh yeah ... Omarosa is doin' her stuff and workin' her mojo.
• Ari thinks Mark will try to save James if he's up on the block.
• Right now it's not clear who will be nominated, but Shannon is the most likely target followed by James.
• We'll see. 

Impersonating an officer

 A thrill a minute

Celebrity Big Brother: Monday Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Feb. 12

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 this post out. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- join on in!

Although tonight is the live eviction, we have to see who wins PoV first! Unless someone is saved, either Omarosa or Keshia will go home tonight. I know the Plan B. But we'll have to see how things play out. 

Well, at least Julie Chen isn't wearing a big red box tonight. We're in recap. 

Now we're on a segment with the aftermath of the nominations. Omarosa is being Nice Good Omarosa to Ross. Meanwhile, Brandi and Ari talk about how Shannon needs to go. They think Ross is scared to nominate her. They think Shannon and James are the biggest threats. They think Omarosa is a weak player.

Heh. Don't fall for the little now and then coughs, gals.

However, I do think that Shannon and James are the best. They go to Ross about backdooring Shannon. And, yeah. Ross is afraid. He's afraid Shannon will get him out next week! Ross talks to Ari about whether making a big move is the right thing or not. 

Another Omarosa White House segment. This one is about DACA. But, as both Ross and Mark say, it's all coming from Omarosa, the Reality TV Villain. Who knows?

Ross goes to Mark to see if they might have the fourth vote to backdoor Shannon. He's willing. He tells us that he's just floating along. Mark wants to get James in on it. Oh noes! That's almost a guarantee that it will get back to Shannon!

Metta is in the hot tub. The guy is fun to watch when left to his own devices. He has the "ducks" (as he called them when this happened) fight. I had a screen cap of this last week in a feeds report. 

Ah, the random draw just went down during commercial -- Ari, Shannon, Marissa
Celebrity Cruise Line, they're the stars. Two at a time face off, look at billboard, answer more, exactly or less.

Keshia and Ross -- Keshia wins, Ross eliminated
Shannon and Omarosa - Omarosa wins, Shannon eliminated
Ari and Marissa - Marissa wins, Ari eliminated
Omarosa and Keshia - Omarosa wins, Keshia eliminated
Omarosa and Marissa for the win - MARISSA WINS POV! 

Now, going into commercial, Keshia is in tears begging them to send her home. Sheesh. 

Live veto meeting:
Marissa does NOT use the veto. Probably because of Keshia's freaking out. 

Time for the live vote and eviction:
Keshia - Thank you. Begs to go home, breastmilk is depleted, need to go home. Tells James it was everyone, not just her against him.
Omarosa - Doesn't know what the house will be like without you. All have taught me, please make the decision that's best for Keshia.

The votes to evict:
Shannon - Keshia
Ari - Keshia
Brandi - Keshia
James - Keshia
Mark - Keshia
Marissa - Keshia
Metta - Keshia

I mean. What else could they have done? 

HoH will be the focus of the Wednesday show.

Celebrity Big Brother: Live Feeds into Sunday Evening - Feb. 11

When will we play PoV?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of At Least They're Not Kids:

• Welp, Big Brother kept up with the uneventful doldrums kind of Sundays we know all so well.
• It looks like the Veto Comp will play either tomorrow or on the live show tomorrow night.
• At one point they were told the Veto Comp player picks would be in an hour.
• Hour(s) went by. If they did it, I missed it.
• Big Brother also cut off a conversation I was interested in ...
• Metta asked Omarosa if she considered herself a "strong black woman." She agreed. He went on to say that the meaning of brown is love while the meaning of black is evil. He said their skin color isn't black, it's brown. Why wouldn't they want to be called brown? She said black was the latest but they're African Americans. Metta wanted to know why this month isn't African American History Month?
• It was actually an interesting conversation.
• But BB cut it off and went to someone putting on make-up.
• In a different Omarosa moment, she referred to Ross as "The Pillsbury Dough Boy."
• Not to his face, of course.
• I noticed that someone in one of the live feeds comments was upset that the chamsters (celebrity hamsters) had cellphones.
• No, they don't. 
• They do have a media room where they can send out tweets but can't read replies.
• What they're doing -- and they did it again tonight, screen cap below -- is acting like their microphones are cellphones. 
• The screen cap has her calling James's restaurant while he's saying it isn't open yet also using his mic as a phone.
• They played truths and lies.
• Keshia seems to be the kitchen and first aid queen of the house.
• There were no brouhahas, not even a kerfuffle.
• Omarosa was Good Omarosa, not Evil Omarosa, and mingled with most of the others most of the day.
• She seems fully recovered.
• I really like the smaller indoor hot tub they have.
• Metta did not try to escape today.
• Brandi did not get drunk today. 
• Others still think Metta is America's Player because he acts weird.
• They mentioned that today makes two weeks in the house. And, we've only seen four days of live feeds and shows.
• If Omarosa somehow survives the eviction, I think she might go after Shannon moreso than Ross. She'd probably put them both up. But she feels betrayed by Shannon and the loss of control over her is eating up Omarosa.
• Shannon is still the back-up plan if one of the nominees is saved.
• She's shown herself to be the strongest player in the house in comps and superfan-wise.

Celebrity Big Brother: Sunday Night Show Blog Party - Feb. 11

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 this post out. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- join on in!

Recap first ... of course. 

Into the aftermath of Chuck's eviction. James is being all kinds of smug. Metta thinks they're all animals in the house. Well, that goes for every season, kiddo! 

Ross, James, Shannon and Ari make a final four deal. Omarosa and Keshia think they can only trust each other. Shannon tries to explain why they did what they did. She tells Omarosa that the others thought she (O) had a side deal with Chuck. Omarosa doesn't think Marissa or Brandi could ever come up with strategy.

True to Omarosa form, she's exerting control. Shannon isn't comfortable. So, she thinks she should tell the rest about Omarosa and her having a deal since the first day and that she had been using it for information gathering. 

Heh. Omarosa and Keshia have to explain backdoor to Metta. He tells them he voted for Chuck to stay. Bwahahaha! They tell him the vote was to evict.

Time for the HoH comp -- it's the spinning/bowling one. They're all in tutus. Names are drawn for the order in which they compete against each other.

Omarosa tries to control them by conniving before they all start. 

Omarosa chooses Marissa. Marissa wins. Omarosa is having breathing problems. She has asthma and needs her inhaler.

Ross chooses Metta. ROSS wins! 

Mark chooses Brandi. MARK wins.

James chooses Ari. JAMES wins. 

Shannon chooses Mark. MARK wins.

Marissa chooses James. JAMES wins.

Ross chooses Mark. ROSS wins.

Ross against James. James tells us he will throw it. ROSS wins HoH!

All they know at this point is that Omarosa seems to be missing. They search, but she's nowhere in the house.

Ross says he doesn't want to make big waves and is thinking Omarosa and Keshia. That is IF Omarosa returns. 

Marissa and Shannon think Omarosa won't come back, mainly because the comp didn't go her way.

Ross talks to Marissa about possibly putting up either Shannon or James on the block with Keshia if Omarosa doesn't come back. 

Ross gathers them all as he has received a message. "Omarosa has been taken to the hospital due to an asthma attack. She will return to the house before nominations and the game will proceed as normal." 

Ross is reluctant to nominate someone coming back from the hospital. He sees James and Shannon on the spycam and they agree those are the two who they should worry about. 

All of a sudden they realize that Omarosa is in bed. I guess they don't realize they probably sent her in via the Diary Room. They all hug her. Ross is still in a quandary about nominations.

Nominations ceremony. Ross nominates Omarosa and then Keshia. Ross tries to tell them it's Big Brother. Omarosa cuts him off and speaks for Keshia as well as herself telling him doesn't need to go on.

Remember ... tomorrow at 8pm ET/PT is the live eviction show.
