Celebrity Big Brother: HoH, Nominations Blog Party - Feb. 21

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!

Starting off with a recap ... 

Brandi thinks Metta saved her by leaving. Yeah, he did.

Metta had made a final plea to Omarosa to put him up. She lost an ally. She thinks she'll make nice with others, stay below the radar and play up to the power.

Ross knows he was the target before winning the veto. Another final four is made -- The Roomies -- Mark, James, Ross and Marissa. Marissa and Ross also have a final four deal with Brandi and Ari.

James thinks breaking up Brandi and Ari is more important than going after Omarosa because the latter has no alliance. Ross wants Omarosa out because he knows she's after him. Ari thinks the biggest threat to her game is James. Yeah, she's probably right.

Omarosa does her planting evil seeds bits, telling Marissa that she's (Marissa) is a target of the "boys."

HoH Comp time ... Red Carpet Ride - in rounds. Enter Club BB by being HoH.  Suspended red carpets, must crawl over them. The carpets turn over. 

Brandi, Marissa, then Ari came in that order in the first heat.
Then it's the guys up. Mark first, then James and Ross is having real problems. He finally makes it.

Fastest time Mark 1.23
James 1.52
Brandi 6.48

Those three will compete in the final round.

-- Despite they're "celebs" there is a fan favorite vote for 25 grand on the website -- 

Whoa, James is really giving it to Mark! He made it through and is waiting for Mark to get across. Mark falls and has to start again. It dawns on Omarosa that James can compete in the next HoH and they - James and Mark - must have a final two deal.

Mark wins HoH ... sorta kinda. 

Mark wants to split up Brandi and Ari. Marissa isn't worried about her own safety. She talks to James about Omarosa wanting to put him up. Meanwhile, Omarosa feels safe because Mark doesn't want to target her. 

Segment on Mark singing in his head as he exercises.

Obligatory Omarosa White House statements, mostly about riding on Air Force 1. 

Segment with Brandi asking Mark about his bromance with James and whether the HoH throw was set up beforehand. She says it had to be a plan for down the road. 

Nomination Ceremony --
Mark nominates Brandi, then Ari. He says good things about Brandi, then says he heard she's targeting him. Says good things about Ari, but it's time to break up Brandi/Ari.

Celebrity Big Brother: Live Feeds, Nominations Tuesday - Feb. 20

The way to ruin a top!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Good Thing It's Ending Soon:

• This report is going to be rather short. I don't know how sweet.
• The next person who wears cat ears, fuzzy or not, should be automatically evicted. They're cute on a small child, not so much on grown women.
• As you know from my last report, Mark won HoH albeit given to him by James.
• We all know that both Mark and his buddy James don't like Brandi.
• So, it's no surprise that she's the number one target.
• They want to break up an alliance, too.
• Thus, Omarosa is relatively safe this week as even those who have worked with her know not to trust her.
• Ross and Marissa are a pair.
• Brandi and Ari are a pair.
• Mark and James have become pairish.
• Omarosa is a lone wolf.
• Ari is, at least from my observation, the strongest BB player in the house with superfan kind of knowledge, plus she's good in comps and has a good read on people.
• Mark and James are friendly with Ross.
• Marissa's name only comes up when relation to Ross.
• So ... who does Mark put on the block?
• Brandi and Ari.
• Now, if the nominations remain the same, they're likely to vote out Brandi even though Ari is a bigger threat for the win if she makes the finals.
• I could be wrong. 

Burn the fuzzy cat ears!

Best BB player in the house?

Did Mark get shorter?

Celebrity Big Brother: Live Feeds - HoH - into Tuesday - Feb. 20

Da Boyz in da house

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House Non-Salacious Celebs:

• I'm still enjoying the lack of showmances and "hook-ups" with this crowd.
• I'm also enjoying that they usually don't go around half-naked.
• Is something wrong with me?
• Ahem.
• Omarosa thinks that the fans will think they're all quitters -- due to both Metta and Keshia.
• While I do think percentage-wise the celebs are indeed more inclined to quit, I think the fact that since they aren't as hungry for money as most regular hamsters, they actually CAN quit. 
• Yet, it's evident that everyone in this house with the exception of Metta are really into actually playing the game.
• Keshia was until she wasn't.
• James told Ross that he doesn't think Omarosa is the best target right now because she's flying solo. But ... Ari and Brandi are working together and should be split up.
• James also told Ross that he didn't need to use the veto as they had the votes to keep him.
• Ha. James obviously would prefer that Brandi was gone! Of course, others felt differently -- Marissa thinks Ross "saved the whole house" with his actions.
• All of the chamsters think Omarosa was more along the lines of Nice Omarosa in putting Metta on the block instead of another one of the alliance people. 
• Some think it was for the jury vote. But, if Metta has his way and Ross is in the finals, I think his vote will go to him.
• Brandi thanked Omarosa for putting Metta up. After all, it almost 100% saved her in the house.
• But we all know that, if nothing else, Omarosa didn't necessarily do it because she's a nice and caring person. She did it more for appearances and strategy!
• We got Critter Cam for nearly four hours as they played the HoH comp.
• And, guess what?
• MARK is the new Head of Household!
• They say James threw it to him because James wants the next one.
• James said he let him win because he knows how much Mark wanted to hear from home.
• @@
• According to James, Brandi just gave up. I can actually see that happening. She is SO not a competition beast!
• Ross thinks he's safe with Mark as HoH. I hope he is.
• Mark and Ross talked about not being able to trust Omarosa.
• Mark thinks Omarosa should go as well as Brandi and Ari.
• Hmm.
• Ross talked to Brandi about getting Omarosa to act out to make her even a bigger target.
• Mark got his HoH room, goodies and photos from home.
• You'd think they've been gone for five years the way they act!
• It's looking like Brandi will be the main target.
• But we'll see. 

With Ross winning PoV, Mark can target her?

No buddy of Mark's!

What to do ... what to do

Safe this time? Or not ...

I'm so handsome. Just ask me!

Celebrity Big Brother: Live PoV, Eviction Show Blog Party - Feb. 19

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!

For a change, let's start with a recap! 

Julie teases us about the veto voted on and we're into the aftermath of the nominations ceremony. Omarosa wants to break up the pairs. She tells us that Ross is her target. Ross is taking it all in stride while Brandi thinks her own alliance may be turning on her.

Omarosa tells us she's planting seeds to turn alliance members against each other. And, she indeed is doing so as she questions all the final four deals going around. Now Mark is telling the others that he might go on the block. Ari thinks he might have made a deal with Omarosa and James. Aha! It begins to dawn on Ari, Marissa and Ross! They let Brandi in on it.

Ross thinks he needs to talk to Mark and James, try to get them on his side. 

Now they're playing with the mics, pretending call in radio show again. It brings us to the Obligatory Omarosa White House comment of the night. One "call" was to James asking if he made a deal with Omarosa. He sidesteps.

Ross does talk to Mark and James. The editing is showing that they might just go against Omarosa's wishes. After all, James really doesn't like Brandi anyway. James talks to Marissa, but he has worries about Ari -- claiming she would win against anyone in the finals. 

Mark, Metta and Marissa were randomly chosen to play for veto.

Veto comp -- VIP veto won, can use veto twice tonight. 

Live Veto Comp -- Club BB -- Invitation Only -- Race on red carpet, get puzzle pieces, put puzzle together, hit button. 

ROSS wins Veto! Omarosa was right behind him. Metta should have just tried to escape again he did so poorly. (But I still enjoy him on the feeds.)

Veto Meeting time! 
Ross saves himself.
Omarosa nominates Metta because Metta wants to leave.
Ross doesn't use the second time (probably worried one of his allies will go home). 

Live eviction time:
Metta - Thanks to BB and CBS, difficult to be away from family, love all in the house, thank you.
Brandi - Likes Metta's speech

The votes to evict:
Ross - Metta
James - Metta
Mark - Metta
Ari - Metta
Marissa - Metta

And he's gone! Bwahaha ... he got an Orwell out! 

In his Julie talk he's in tears, loves the whole bunch of people. He'd like to see Ross win.

On Friday two will be evicted. On Sunday, the finale, three more will go.

Celebrity Big Brother: HoH, Nominations Show Blog Party - Feb. 18

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!

Recap, recap. 

To the start of the HoH comp. I hope the editing makes it look more exciting than it actually was! 

Ari tells us that Brandi whispered to her that she was the hinky vote for Mark. Now Ari is taking her trust of Brandi into question. 

Metta is out first. His size did really work against him in this. Then Ross comes off. Mark is out. So, those three will be on slop.

Marissa out. 

Sweat, t-shirts, mini basketballs are being occasionally winged at them.

Brandi is down. It's Omarosa and James remaining. Omarosa suggests a deal. She'll keep him safe, no backdoor. James drops and Omarosa is the new HoH. 

The ones who are Slopped will be on it for 48 hours.

Omarosa thinks the pairs in the game are the most dangerous. Marissa tells James that they understood why he took the deal. Brandi has suspicion cast upon her for the hinky vote. Lots of shock and distrust going on. Ross, Ari and Marissa now all have issues with Brandi. They pretty much tell her so. And, now she's upset. They decide they need to keep her as a number.

So, they go try to console her. Oh, they love her.

Omarosa wants to make Ross her primary target. Brandi goes and tells her about the vote for Mark. Now, Omarosa has to figure how to use that to her advantage.

Everybody has to gather in the living room. 

The game is about to be shaken up. America will be voting on how to "twist up" the next Power of Veto competition. -- announcement read by Omarosa 

Omarosa tells Mark she needs to new allies. She tells him that Ross has been her target since the start and he plays them all. She asks for a week's safety if she doesn't put him on the block. Deal done.

She talks to Metta, tells him if he supports her, she'll never put him up and that he can go all the way. He agrees.

Then she talks to James.  She tells him that herself, Metta, Mark and he would be her ideal final four. He seems willing to go along ... at least for now. 

Obligatory Omarosa politics talk. Interesting ... she was working for Hillary and ended up in the Trump White House. 

Omarosa acts like she's trying to get the four women back together, but she's just searching for the best one to put on the block with Ross. She'd prefer not to get much more "blood on her hands." Ari and Marissa are obviously on the outs with Brandi at the moment. Ah ... an opening! 

Nominations Ceremony. She nominates Ross, then Brandi.
