Celebrity BB3: Live Feeds into Wednesday, Nominations - February 9

 

Always in color-coordinated outfits

Here's the latest from inside that Celeb Big Brother House of We're So Vain, We Think This Show Is About Us:

• Chris Kattan was NOT pulling a Gheesling. He has no mist.
• Chris Kattan was NOT channeling the ghost of Dr. Will.
• Chris Kattan wants to go home!
• He is not having fun.
• He is not understanding the game.
• While the money would be nice, he doubts he will win and he's not desperately broke or anything.
• He wants to go home!
• Miesha is Queen ... er, HoH. She could make Chris Kattan a happy man.
• Oh, let's not do that. Nah, Chris Kattan won't be going on the block.
• We know she wants Carson out with a passion I just don't really understand.
• He did great in that one comp and hasn't won anything else.
• Of course, he does have a great social game, something she will never have.
• He's also a "name" people actually recognize, unlike her as she is known to limited social circles.
• I swear there are more feeds cuts this season than others. And, there are a lot of feeds cuts every season!
• Miesha told Todrick the time will come that they will have to split from Chris Kirkpatrick. He can't get near the finals.
• Miesha nominated Carson (no surprise there) and Cynthia.
• She thinks they might be able to pull Cynthia to their side once Carson is gone.
• Carson feels doomed.
• However, he might be able to pull a veto out of his hat.
• Chris Kattan is destined to live Groundhog Day over and over.

Not always dressed "cute."

Worried if one comes down, she'll go up.

It's ON now.

Meanwhile, Miesha is having a ball.

Celebrity BB3: Live Feeds into Tuesday, New HOH - Feb. 8

 

Looking a bit puffy, don't ya think?

This report will be more screen caps than report as we had blocked live feeds for most the night. But here's the latest from inside that Celeb Big Brother House of Groundhog Day Deja Vu:

• They had the HOH comp during the blocked live feeds.
• Several seemed to have bright pink knit winter beanies on.
• Todrick had a fuzzy onesie which matched his hat.
• Miesha is the new HOH.
• Yep.
• Again.
• We know she will target Carson.
• We also know she buckled last night and voted out Mirai.
• Will Chris Kirk buckle and vote out Carson?
• I guess we'll see.
• Cynthia told Chris Kirk that Miesha has made no effort to connect with any of the women.
• No one wants to see the HOH room.
• Heh.

They should be worrying about her.

He's happy his girl won ... again.

Will he be in danger this week?

Celebrity BB3: Live PoV, Eviction Show Blog Party - Feb. 7

 

I guess that they won't have time for too much filler fodder tonight. It seems like both the Power of Veto and Eviction will be live. I assume they'll do the HOH comp off show and feeds like they did last week. I'm not going to get the hang of this latest scheduling until the end of the season!

Right now Chris Kattan and Mirai are on the block. That may change with the veto comp. We won't know until we know!

Here are the latest blog pool standings from Lifeguard SueGee:

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

Shanna Moakley: SueGee, Caela

Mirai Nagasu: Clover, Dr_Celine

Lamar Odum: Jennasmom, Marthalight

Miesha Tate: David, Sharon N.

Evicted

Teddi Mellencamp

I will be live-blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast, regularly updating this entry with the major happenings. 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!

Grey sleeveless, we have Julie. Then it's immediately to Previously On. We pick up the action after the Nominations Ceremony. We're 13 days in ... only about four with live feeds. 

Chris Kattan is shocked he's up for eviction. Mirai isn't as surprised. Miesha still wants Carson out. Cynthia is relieved she's not on the block. She's worried that she might be if there is a replacement.

Chris Kirk is still secretly working with Shanna. Although Miesha and he are supposedly working together, a big part of wanting Mirai out is because she's a "minion for Miesha."

I was wrong. Lots of filler. Chris Kattan stumbling in the dark. Chris Kirk and Shanna doing facial masks but at least they're talking game.

Julie warns us of cracks in the athlete alliance and new targets emerging. Then, incongruously, it went right into Lamar losing his six-month old baby to SIDS. Makes no sense.

Then to Miesha defending Mirai while Chris Kirk says he doesn't trust her. He does not play well with alliances.

The veto comp has the backyard done all in a snowy day theme, the players in booths. It looks like Lamar is sitting off to the side. They have not shown the veto player picks yet.

New movie Marry Me is the inspiration for the comp. We get a clip. 

Todrick, Shanna and Cynthia were chosen by random draw.

They are shown seven different images, have to say Section A, B or C has the Marry Me sign. Tons of signs in the image.

1. Chris Kirk only one wrong.

2. Chris Kirk again only one wrong.

3. Both Chris's and Shanna wrong.

4. Chris Kirk and Cynthia wrong.

5. Shanna only one right.

6. Chris Kattan wrong.

7. Todrick, Shanna, Cynthia right

To tiebreaker -- Todrick, Shanna

SHANNA wins the Power of Veto!

Shanna keeps the nominations the same.

Back to the living room for the live vote and eviction.

Chris Kattan: Don't know much about the game. Time for me to move on. Thinks Mirai should stay.

Marai: Chris is a dear friend. All so much older. I'm emotional. Didn't grow up watching people like me. Watched the Cookout.

The votes to evict:

Cynthia - Mirai

Miesha - Mirai

Carson - Mirai

Lamar - Mirai

Todrick - Mirai

Todd - Mirai

Shanna - Mirai

Huh. Unanimous. I didn't expect that. Bye-bye, Mirai.

Celebrity BB3: Live Feeds into Monday - February 7

 

Giving me a combined Cappy/Rachel vibe.

Hopefully after tonight's POV and eviction, things will perk up a bit in the house. Here's the latest from inside that Celeb Big Brother House of Boring Boas:

• Nuthin' -- I ain't got nuthin' new for you.
• Well, almost nothing.
• It's sort of like the movie Groundhog Day with them waking up and doing the same day over and over again.
• I guess that's what we get for having a Groundhog Day season start!
• Miesha is still wanting Carson out.
• Chris Kirkpatrick doesn't play well with his alliance members and won't target anyone the team wants out as long as he feels those people aren't a threat to his own game.
• Miesha is giving me a bossy like Cappy vibe and a looks a bit like, acts a bit like Rachel vibe.
• Meanwhile, Todrick is giving me a bit of an Andy Herren vibe, running around to all gathering intel and then sharing it with his crush -- Miesha.
• Lamar is like a huge lone wolf game-wise. His strategy is no strategy as he doesn't know the game at all. Socially, he's pretty decent and gets along well with others.
• Todd has surprised me -- he has a very good social game and likes to cook. I just have no clue how he will do with comps.
• To give her credit, Miesha cooked breakfast.
• However, most of the meals have been Carson and Todd.
• Chris Kirkpatrick is thinking he might be able to use Chris Kattan for votes and such if he tells him he's saving him.
• He is worried that Mirai might win the veto. Lamar would possibly go up in that case as he feels he does not have Lamar's votes with him.
• If he gets the nerve, he will put Todrick up as a replacement.
• Shanna is still Chris Kirk's number two.
• Miesha and others still don't realize that Shanna and Chris Kirk are working together.
• Why is Shanna pronounced with a long A? It should be like Shannon. Get rid of an N if you want SHAYNA. (Sorry, it bugs me when I type her name, I think soft A in my mind.)
• That's it for now. 
• Tonight's show is 9PM ET/PT.

I never owned a knit winter hat when
I lived in L.A. County

So, what has Cynthia done lately?

Conversing together, not working together.

Miesha's main target

Not NSYNC with teamwork

Entertaining and cooks, too!

Celebrity BB3: HoH, Nominations Show Blog Party - Feb. 6

 

Good evening! Tonight's show will let us in on which celeb is the newest Head of Household. I believe it will have the nominations, as well. It seems like the Power of Veto comp will be live on the live eviction show tomorrow. They have a very screwy schedule. I guess that's fitting as they obviously have a screwy idea of what constitutes "celebrity."

As this is a show post, I ask that no spoilers get posted and comments just cover what you see aired. Oh, you can go off topic -- just no spoilers!

I will be live-blogging and constantly updating this post 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!

I will patiently sit through the Previously On segment.

Okay, we're where Teddi went out the door. Mirai is very grateful that Todd saved her. Chris Kattan is dazed and confused. Miesha tells us that Carson needs to go next. Carson is telling Todrick Miesha must go. Um. Todrick is in Miesha's camp. Shanna tells Carson and Cynthia that she voted with the house for Teddi to go. Uh-oh. Carson, Cynthia, Shanna and Teddi WERE working together.

Chris Kirkpatrick trusts Shanna. I personally think once a person betrays a trust, they will betray another one. Maybe that's just me. Todrick talks to Cynthia, and she no longer trusts him.

HOH Comp time. It's all potatoes. Rotten Potatoes will be the critics. They have to lock in a score on three "potatoes" with a ball. If they don't like the score, they can re-shoot but the comp is timed. Highest score on the Potato Meter wins. The comp is done individually, so Mirai is first and the rest return to the house. 

Mirai 51

Todrick is second up. He gets 36. Lamar is next. He gets 61 and takes over the lead. Chris Kirkpatrick is up -- 75 and takes it from Lamar. Shanna is up. 52, not enough. Carson next. 36. Heh. Cynthia is up. 46, not enough. Todd is up. He sees Chris Kirk up there and scores 33 obviously throwing it. Chris Kattan didn't hit his last potato score in.

Chris Kirkpatrick is the new HOH.

Shanna is thrilled as she has her Day 2 alliance with him. Miesha is thrilled because he's in her alliance.

He already has his eye on Mirai because he's not "tight" with her. Miesha just worked hard to save Mirai and tells him he should put up Carson. He doesn't like her telling him what to do. He tells Shanna maybe Mirai and Todrick to take Todrick's vote away from Miesha's ploy.

Chris Kirk tells Carson and Cynthia that he's playing his own game and not gunning for either of them.

He talks to Todd and Lamar. Todd tells him he will vote whatever he wants him to vote. He wants Mirai but just can't figure who to put with her. Miesha is still pushing Carson at him. He tells her that Carson is not a threat to his game.

Nominations Ceremony time! Chris nominates Chris Kattan and then Mirai. He tells them it's because he hasn't talked game with either of them.

Tomorrow night 9pm ET/PT is the live eviction show.

Celebrity BB3: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening, Nominations - Feb. 5

 

He's the Anti-Mango these days.

You'll have to pardon the briefness of the report tonight -- I'm not feeling all that well. No, not Covid. Just one of those pain days. I blame winter. Anyway ... here's the latest from inside that Celebrity BB House of Who Are These People?:

• Not the big shot he was when he let the BB23 cast stay, party and play in his house post-season, Todrick seems obsessed with his envy of Carson.
• He doesn't seem to like sharing the spotlight (or more accurately, sitting off the side of the spotlight in the dark) as the fun popular gay guy.
• Chris Kattan sightings in the house are rare.
• Chances are you're most likely to spot him sleeping.
• That said, they talked today about how he almost won the HOH comp.
• The feeds cut very quickly when Todd mentioned he had Covid while in sequester watching previous seasons.
• As I mentioned before, Chris Kirkpatrick (HOH) didn't want to make any big moves.
• So, he put the often sleeping and not mingling Chris Kattan on the block with the already on the block so no big deal Mirai.
• I'm thinking the Power of Veto comp will be tomorrow (Sunday).
• We know eviction is Monday.
• That's all I have for you tonight.

On the block again, on the block again ...

Such entertainment!

As it's BB, we have Hats in the House

Taking it all in.

Celebrity BB3: Live Feeds into Saturday, February 5

 

What is Shanna bringing to the table?

The live feeds were blocked for a good portion of the night. Thus and therefore, I really don't have a lot to report. Ah, but they did have the HOH comp behind those blocked live feeds. Here's the latest from inside that Celeb Big Brother House of Needy Nellies:

• After the show ended West Coast, the feeds returned briefly as the celebhamsters ate dinner.
• Some aren't thrilled that anything can be asked of them at any time.
• Hey, they knew the job was dangerous when they took it!
• Then the feeds got blocked for several (over three!) hours.
• When they came back, Chris Kirkpatrick was wearing the HoH key.
• Oh my.
• This could be interesting. We know a few he would never put on the block. But who WILL be nominated?
• ChrisHOH talked to Todd, saying he likes Lamar. Todd told him that he thinks Chris Kattan is targeting him (Todd). He is. Todd told him they need to worry about Carson, Shanna and Cynthia.
• ChrisHOH told Todd he didn't want to make any big moves this early.
• Um. They only have three weeks!
• I guess that means he will not target Carson!
• In talking to CYnthia, ChrisHOH told her he was probably going to go after Chris Kattan.
• In my personal opinion, no great loss if Kattan goes.
• I would no longer have to deal with two Chris K's on the cast.
• Plus, Chris Kattan has been creeping me out a bit -- trying to be overly funny and all.
• I can't see him being any threat in comps.
• About the only redeeming factor for him is his kindness shown to an upset Mirai.
• Yes, I said what I said.
• ChrisHOH talked to Shanna to pull her into his web. Er, get her on his side.
• He told her he was thinking of maybe putting up Todrick and Mirai.
• Hmm.
• A few references to his hotel stay Thursday night were made. He was almost kicked out, he says. But no real details other than he "talks too much."
• Hmm.
• I still have no real idea who he will be nominating.

Todd is more likable and funny than
I thought he would be.

Show me some foot, Lamar!

Her talk is more game than her game is.

Pose sexy, Lamar!

She wears her sunglasses at night

Will not make any big moves

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 BB3: Live Feeds Non-Report

 The live feeds were supposed to start when the show ended last night. Well, that's not happening. Instead, we got this:

Friday?!?! That's missing almost the whole first week of a three-week show!

In more fun news, I saw BB23's Derek Xiao on Twitter say: "They better not target Mirai or I will have to break into the house and we'll start The Takeout!"

The Amazing Race 33: February 2 Episode Blog Party

 

So, we're heading into the third episode of the delayed post-pandemic (more like post severe death-laden pandemic) race. Four teams couldn't return. The two teams Philiminated prior to the filming break returned. One team, first out before, was first out again in the reset. The other team, second out before would have been second out again had it not been a non-Philimination leg. Arun and Natalia better get their navigational skills working if they want to stay!

With the new Covid protocols in action, there will no longer be long gaps between teams after a leg ends. Since they have their own private jet for the show, all the teams have to bunch up for the flight. When they head out on the new leg, they have 15-minute increments between them dependent on their Pit Stop arrival times. One kind of interesting thing about them not running through airports and purchasing tickets is that the teams have no idea where the flights will take them.

Since my blog pool team was eliminated first twice (Mike and Moe), I'm personally supporting Team Holderness -- Kim and Penn. What a breath of fresh air with those two! Although I think they're a strong team, they have stronger competition. They may not win but I will enjoy watching them as long as they are in the race.

Since last week was non-Philimination, Lifeguard SueGee had it easy with the pool --

Kim & Penn -- chrob61, Donna in AL, Jennifer

Akbar & Sheri -- Indiana Jane, Nickelpeed, Krysta

Raquel & Cayla -- Brenda, Skyriverblue, Marlo L

Lulu & Lala --Debbie, Judi Sweeney, SueGee

Dusty & Ryan -- Mike Barer, Willie J, PDX Granny

Arun & Natalia -- Glenn, Jennasmom

Philiminated 

Mike & Moe

I will be live blogging the show, updating this entry with the major events, as it 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 and discussion!

Are you ready? Let's GO!

Teams are getting on their plane, destination unknown. We know they're going to the French island of Corsica. After arriving, they will have to head to its capital.

Depart in three groups every 15 minutes. Teams head to the Belvidere(?) and must get their next clue and a huge thing of goats' milk. 

Detour - Say Cheese -- making three baskets of cheese or Mules -- strapping cannisters on, make a trip without spilling the milk. Dusty and Ryan (one of them) know how to make cheese. Penn/Kim choose mule. Ohh ... Dusty and Ryan are not happy with the cheese making, one wants to stay, the other wants to switch to Mule.

Kim/Penn finished with Mule (Penn named him Duke) first and are in the lead heading for the next clue. Heh, several teams have passed the guys! Even Akbar/Sheri passed them. They decide to switch and their vehicle won't go. Oh my.

Roadblock - Who wants to make a splash? Penn does it for their team. They have to repel, swim guided by the rope, slide down rapids, etc. to find the clue. Other teams are going in it at the same time, but Penn was alone. They must have had quite the lead.

Pit Stop is next! They have to pump up a kayak and take it to the next Pit Stop. Ryan passes out Akbar. It looks like it might be the end of the line for local to me team Akbar/Sheri. They just aren't in shape to do this!

Pit Stop order ...

1. Penn/Kim - won $5,000 each

2. Raquel/Cayla

3. Dusty/Ryan

4. Arun/Natalia

5. Lulu/Lala

6. Akbar/Sheri -- Philiminated

Celebrity BB3: Season Premiere Blog Party

 

This is going to be a rather short but overly scheduled season. I posted the schedule over on this here linked post for your perusal. As with all BB seasons, I will be covering live feeds with regular reports. That said, I haven't seen any announcements about when the feeds will go live. They have a countdown link running on the live feeds window that seems to time up with the show itself.

As is typical with "celebrity" reality shows, these are not top-level celebrities and some (if not most) you will not know. I posted a cast list with photos on this page. One good thing, in my opinion anyway, is that the cast is skewing older than regular seasons. Older hamsters tend to have a totally different mindset than the kids they usually cast. It's just a shame they make them think they're celebrities.

Lifeguard SueGee is working double duty and put together the blog pool, randomly assigning each pool participant to a celebhamster:

Cynthia Bailey: Indiana Jane, Glenn Allen

Todd Bridges: Donna in Alabama, Jackie

Todrick Hall: Chrob61, Monty924

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, Marthlight

Miesha Tate: David, Sharon N.

I will be live-blogging the show the best I can as it airs here on the East Coast. The best I can means that I might not get the names down right even though they are such HUGE celebrities. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun!

Hamster watchers ready?

94 cameras. 104 microphones. Ack. There is a chessboard. I hate watching them play chess. Julie is in a deep red dress with floofy shoulders, sleeves and a ruffle of floof around the hem. They will move in the house one at a time due to Covid.

Carson Kressley moves in first. He claims he thinks he's a liked celebrity and not a villain ... yet. Cynthia Bailey (whom I do not know) arrives next. They know each other. Chris Kirkpatrick arrives, Cynthia does not know him until he mentions NSYNC. Shanna Moakley next. So far Carson knows all of them.

Todd Bridges is next. Mirai comes in. If these celebhamsters are like regular hamsters, she's going to be eaten alive. Chris Kattan arrives. Most would probably know him as Mango from SNL. To commercial as we need four more to enter the house. Julie tells us there will be a Head of House comp.

Todrick arrives. I will say he's a bit of a cutie-patootie. But I wouldn't know who he is if not for Twitter and his allowing BB23 cast hamsters to stay at his house for weeks. Miesha Tate arrives. Chris Kirkpatrick is a fan of hers. I am not. I never heard of her before this. Teddi Mellencamp is next. Lamar Odum is the last one in. Shanna is worried because she may have called his fiancé a donkey on national television. He's 6'9" -- oh my!

It bugs me that there are two named Chris and they both have the same last initial.

Carson wants to start a Girls and Gays Alliance. 

Julie calls them to the living room. She explains the game to them. There will be two evictions a week. They have to change into their "formalwear" and head to the backyard as we head to commercial.

BB Winter Gala wearing designs from BB Desgner. Peacocks, unicorns and all sorts of bizarre. Needs a Master of Ceremonies to volunteer. That person cannot compete, will not be safe from eviction. Todd does it. 

They have to climb on swings and will be raised up into the air. Fall off and will be eliminated. Todd calls out paparazzi to the left, then right. They have to turn to look. Chris Kattan out first. Then Cynthia. Then it snows. Shanna out, Lamar out.

Ew. Golden caviar dumped on them. Chris Kirkpatrick out. Crackers dumped on them. Carson out.

Confetti now. Mirai out. Todrick tries to deal for safety with Miesha, she agrees, he drops. Teddi tries to deal and doesn't get the same deal. She did it for Todrick because she likes him. Teddi drops anyway.

MIESHA is the first HOH!

Into commercial after Julie tells us Miesha won't be the only one with power this week.

New power up for grabs this week. It's inside the gala gift. It will be a blessing for one, a curse for others.

Show tomorrow night at 9PM ET/PT. Nominees will be er ... nominated. New power exposed. Two hours on Friday -- eviction.

I'm thinking the live feeds will start tonight. Expect a morning report.
