Every season of Big Brother, the hamsters come in the house and the girls always talk about having a female alliance. “Girl Power!” they squeal. We don’t need the guys! They insist. And then one by one they start hooking up with the guys and do whatever they are told. Since Celebrity Big Brother has a more mature group of houseguests, perhaps this will be the season a female alliance sticks? There have been a couple of short sneak peeks on the live feeds already and the word is the women are aligned against the guys and that Ross is one of the girls. There were already six girls and five guys so this alliance of seven basically targets Metta World Peace, Mark McGrath, Chuck Lidell and James Maslow. Brandy has already announced she can’t stand James so he has a good chance of being sent home first if the 7/5 split is true and holds.
I’ve been looking forward to this all week and somehow I managed to start a kitchen project right before the show. As it turns out, contact papering your refrigerator is not a terrible idea. It just sounds like it.
Mark McGrath is a singer and TV host. I have no idea why Brandi did her hair for the show to look like she was getting ready to film Dynasty in 1984. Metta World Peace knows the least about Big Brother. I love Ross Matthews. He was in the audience of the finale Big Brother Season ONE! Brandi is thrilled to see Ross. Brandi is already being shady. She looked like she smelled a fart when Metta World Peace came out. Mark is in love with Metta World Peace.
The table is square! The shower doors are opaque! The bar is stocked! So many changes for the celebs!
Shannon is from the movie American Pie. Wow. She lives in South Africa now. She used to be a pro poker player. Chuck is an MMA fighter. Keisha is Rudy from the Cosby Show. Marissa is from Hairspray. James is a former Nickelodeon star with a boy band. Then there is Omarosa.
Ross is terrified of Omarosa. As he should be. Ugh they are drinking champagne out of coupes. There were two kinds. Veuve, and not Veuve. Brandi is rude to James right away.
It looks like Omarosa was leading the charge for the women’s alliance, but that is not true according to people who saw a brief peek at the feeds. She was not really down until she realized the camera was on her and then she caught a sudden case of Women’s Empowerment. She’s talking to Shannon (I think) and Shannon says she knows Marissa so suddenly there is a three person alliance. Shannon says that Marissa doesn’t want people to know they did a show together. Brandi says, “They have Bro Code, we have Hoe Code.” And so it begins.
It’s time for the first HOH. It’s an Oscars theme and they are all in tuxedos, girls and guys. First someone is selected by a number draw to be safe and not compete for HOH. Omarosa wins immunity. It’s an endurance comp. They have to hug an Oscar like trophy that is hoisted into the air. The last to drop wins. Chuck should be good at this.
Holy Crap! It’s Paul singing a musical number with dancers! Please tell me he is coming back in the house! These boys need some HELP. Then Rachel comes out and Marissa loses her mind, and almost her grip. She sings! And Jessica and Cody are in the “audience” this is cool if you are a Big Brother fan, but I am worried those of you watching for the first time are bored. Chuck hates the musical number. Marissa does lose her grip when Mr. Pectacular came out. Metta falls second. WTF? Brandi talks about the depths she has sunk to for money lately. She jokes she might as well start hooking on the side. There is a rumor that she is already doing that. Oh and on Wendy Williams today, she was talking about Hot Felon, and then she showed a photo of Hot Felon’s soon to be ex-wife with DJ Friese. I meant to look into that today but I was busy adulting most of the day.
Mark falls off next. Then Ross. The Chuck slides off. James is the last guy. Ariadna falls. Then Keisha. Then Brandi. It’s down to James and Shannon and if James wins, Brandi is going up. James tries to make a deal with Shannon, but Omarosa blocks it. James finally falls and Shannon wins HOH!
After HOH the houseguests all pick up a giftbag at random. In one or more (that was not clear to me) is a recast power. The person who gets it can use it to recast the nominations by taking over as HOH if they so desire.
CBBUS will be on tomorrow and there will be a two hour eviction on Friday. Also you can watch the live feeds on POP every night starting at midnight. (some nights it may start at 1am).
So what did you think?

The last time i watched Big Brother – was season one episode one. This was the quickest hour for sure. I didn’t realize that Celebs would have to do those types of excersise’s . I really thought Chuck Liddell (UFC) would win that .
I wonder who brandi thought she was choking? lol
I have watched every single U.S. Season, but I am not happy about this and scheduling against the Olympics.
I thought it started tomorrow, so this is a good heads up.
Marissa was part of The Talk at the beginning, but was soon turfed. Maybe this is payback from Julie.
As soon as Julie announced the immunity, I knew Omarosa had it in the bag. This season will definitely be the one to watch.
That was obviously a setup so they could make sure Omarosa would be there at least a week for drama. Whatever it said on the envelope, Julie just said whatever number O was.
I thought the same thing because you know whoever is HOH is going to get rid of her first. I’ve never watched this show before, but I can see how it could be interesting.
This was my first time. I was bored… and it comes on the same time as Grey’s Anatomy
So excited for this! Not sure if I want to see a Girl’s Alliance. Who is Brandy going to flirt with? Love that James Maslow’s talking head about Brandy and the drinking! This should be fun!
The first show is always boring, it a meet the guest thing. It needs to start improving right away though.
WTH with the ball gown on Omorosa. Why are they making such a big deal out of her. I cant see her lasting long. She never seems to get aling with anyone, not even Trump ???
Marissa doesn’t want anyone to know she worked with Shannon, so Shannon immediately tells Omarosa?!! Well, we know who can’t keep a secret. Hope Brandi doesn’t get voted off right away – she’ll be good at stirring things up, which will make her target, so who knows? I don’t know why I thought Janice Dickinson was going to be on this season – disappointed not to see her – she and Brandi and Omarosa would have been the Axis of Evil.
Shannon came across as a real moron who doesn’t know how to play. Who would be dumb enough to confide in Omarosa?
Weren’t Janice and Omarosa on some show together? I seem to remember someone threatening the other with a butcher knife… but I can’t remember who.
It might have been Janice, but everyone was so frustrated with Omarosa that they were supportive of Janice.
Yes! They were on The Surreal Life! I loved that show and was hoping Celebrity BB would be more like it..
My first ever conspiracy theory but what are the chances Omarosa left the White House FOR the show…as in her outing was planned and while she pretends to be anti White House staff she will ultimately praise President Trump. And just for the record I am a Trump fan but this just seems too perfect given his reality world experience. While CBS would not be in his will house, could CBS be blindsided? Not only was she front and center in group photo but she won safety so either CBS wants her around for a while or she’s mastered the Art of the Deal…and for a reason maybe. It just makes no sense to me that the White House didn’t have some sort of iron clad confidentiality clause in her contract.
And yes…I’m open to eating crow…
Um, no. I think you have too much time on your hands. ; )
Perhaps they can serve the crow on a silver platter. That might help it go down easier.
CBS definitely wants Omarosa and Brandi to stick around. Without them they have no show. The rest of the “celebs” are too self conscious about their image.
First time CBB watcher and was bored during the musical number but other than that it was entertaining.
However, I don’t understand the live feed. Is that important and should I be watching?
yes and yes. But if your record POP then you can get the jist of it I’m watching now and it’s boring, They ae feeding the fish and all watching it together like it is a TV show.
I know I’m going to sound incredibly stupid right now, but what is the live feed and what is POP tv?
Yes! Watch the live feeds! POP tv is good but they know they on are on TV so they play up to it. The best times are off hours when they are starting to go stir crazy!!!!
You can follow twitter accounts that will give you the blow by blow of what is happening in the house. If something good flairs up grab your phone excuse yourself from work and go watch.
Additionally you can go back and if you know the minute mark you can watch an event play out.
Live feeds versus what is edited and played out on network tv are two different shows.
Thanks! I’m going to have to check this out. Winter is dragging me down and I need something to occupy some time.
These live feeds are gonna have me up all night, Omarosa and Keisha eating out the ice cream carton and metta can’t keep still for nothing ?
I find it hard to believe we have been mispronouncing Omarosa all of these years. I think she has changed the pronunciation for some reason. Maybe she wants to be called O or that is what her latest husband calls her.
As I’ve mentioned so often, I’m a huge BB fan. Still, I had no idea (until tonight), that this was NOT for charity. Brandi starts messy and she will never be a “girl’s girl” EVER. But, I want her to stay as long as possible – because drama.
Omarosa is an obvious target. Not this week:)
I can see the girls sticking together longer than previous seasons. Like that.
Brandi wants to hook-up with basketball guy and she hates pageant lady. This should be fun.
I love BB.
The song and dance campy bullshit during the HOH comp….???
Tomorrow night, can’t wait!!!
The only person that probably has any money in this house is Chuck. The rest of them need the money, don’t you think?
I don’t know who has money, no idea. But, this should be a real shitfest once it gets going, (48hrs?). Many think the twist is another houseguest (probably?). Love it, love everything about BB! Am I the only one who thought this was for charity? I’m all in 🙂
The only person that probably has any money in this house is Chuck. The rest of them need the money, don’t you think?
Maybe Omarosa got a huge check from Trump on her way out? ? maybe not.
She got severance until late January.
Maybe Metta doesn’t need the $$, and possibly Mark McGrath?
If it’s not for charity, the only reason to subject yourself to this would be for the money. They must all need it.
First timer checking in. I think I’m going to enjoy this, but may have to keep up vía your recaps. Keep up the great work!
Chuck can probably lift the whole entire house up. Brandi sure loves her something to drink doesn’t she? Ross is warming up to the mighty O and poor mark, he would probably wanna be chopping it up with Metta but Metta is in his own little world.
Also surprised Nene turned down the offer to be on this season, would have loved to see her and the mighty O interact.
LOLOLOLOLOL where do y’all get this stuff from?
On her Twitter
I didn’t hear that Nene was offered and if that is true I doubt she would have turned it down. She has a huge empty house to furnish, LOL.
Watching on POP. Not sure can take week after week of Bradi drinking.
Doesn’t keisha Knight Pulliam have a new baby? Now she is on lockdown with drunks and fools?
Her daughter with Ed Hartwell (RHOA’s Lisa Wu’s season one husband) turned 1 January 23. I think they are still in the process of divorcing.
Anyone want to guess, right now, who wins? I’m willing to pick two, or three guesses.
I’m always wrong, but I’ll guess early:
Marissa
Shannon
the surprise houseguest (unknown)
Everyone is talking simultaneously during the live feed and it’s difficult to follow.
How many weeks is BB? Will it be on every night? If so, I need to change my recording schedule
I’m also suspicious of the timing with Omarosa being on CBB – if I have to hear her praising Trump I may lose my dinner, and it was a good one. Hate the whole gift bag idea – Shannon worked so hard to get HOH and now it could be taken away from her. Can’t stand James – don’t have a clue who he is, and I don’t think anyone in the house does either. That’s why the tiny little bitch who lives in a corner of my brain loved it when Brandi put him in his place. He’s a legend in his own mind. That whole musical number was excruciating – like watching a very old variety show, or a really, really terrible awards show number. Well, I’m apparently already kind of invested in this season’s cast, so looking forward to the rest of the season.
Suspicious? What else does she have? Big Brother is a huge deal, HUGE.
Hahahaha
It did seem very unfair that one woman held on for so long, and it must have been tough, only to find out it doesn’t really matter and HOH is up for grabs. Why would they do that?
Totally agree about James! No clue who he is & he is waaaay too into himself. Nobody even knows who tf he is. As much as I hate Brandi, it was funny when she shut him down. He would be so much hotter if he were cooler. And omg! When Paul came out for that stupid variety show, I nearly shut my damn tv off!! I never wanted to see his ugly ass face again or hear his voice after the last BB? Ugh! If they bring him back, I’m done with CBB!!
The clip is at the bottom of the post above. Metta World Peace is a former NBA player his name used to be Ron Aretest or something similar and he used to beat the crap out of people on the court. Apparently he has some sort of come to Jesus moment or something. I dunno really. I am making most of this up.
There is a teaser clip with Omarosa and Ross talking about trump. She says something like “It’s bad in the whitehouse. And it’s not going to be alright”. So I don’t think she’ll be cheerleading.
First night of feeds were lit! Or I should say Brandi was lit. Slobbering drunk and trying to start shit already. I hope they give them unlimited alcohol. Looks promising already.
I felt embarrassed for Brandi. Everyone was literally talking about telling production not to give them any more booze until she is gone. The second BBAD came on she was acting like a teenage girl trying to be cool. The hair flip, the six in heels with jeans the cropped sweater where she kept needing things from a high shelf. It was very teenaged girl trying too hard to be cool. It was sad.
I don’t know how she’ll be on the show coming up with therapy boot camp, (allegedly Amber and her didn’t get along), but she was really pleasant on that show Famously Single.
So she obviously has it in her to be decent and likeable.
Those glasses. I half expected Dorit to start screeching about them.
I have a set of those glasses that were my grandmother’s. They ARE for champagne. Flutes are preferred now, but that has not always bee the case and I think coupes are perfectly acceptable.
I am expecting Dorit to arrive here at any moment to throw something at me and call me psycho – I will keep you posted.
Dorit is a fan of the coupe, but she was drinking wine. We’ve had the coupe v. flute discussion several times. Coupes are fine if you are 74. But they are actually not the best way to drink champagne as the bubbles don’t last. Thus the invention of flutes many decades ago.
Coupes! Oh my! TT, I once wallpapered my bathroom with contact paper. It was awesome. That stuff is more versatile than duct tape.
I have this very, very, very, very, very old small white fridge. It works great unless the door doesn’t close tight and then it pees all over the floor. But it keeps everything cold . But there are rust spots especially around the floor. I covered it in white contact paper and it looks like a brand new fridge. I’m very happy with it. Now I have to figure out how to clean the inside up. And I have one more side to do. I realize how ridiculous this sounds but it makes me immensely happy.
We covered our old fridge that was our drink cooler on the back porch. It sounds a lot like yours. It looked so much better and lasted a long time. We did use a print so it was a little funky, but cute.
I’m actually about to duck out for more contact paper and new sheets. I bought the contact paper for a more traditional use and though I invented the contact papered fridge. LOL. It does so much for my mood to see a clean white fridge when I go do grab some iced tea rather than an old rusty barnacle.
The “maids” are coming tomorrow. They are not real maids, and do not speak English. I need to figure out how to make a list for them.
Nope, beat you to it. Been using contact paper on my fridge for years. Works great, looks even better and no one ever notices. The one side, funny. I STILL have one side not covered. But it fits into hole in the wall so no one knows but me. Ain’t it great? As long as that fridge works as good as it does, I will never buy a new one.
OMG! The show itself was boring, but the live show was something else. Brandi made the fool out herself and was drunk like she always did on #RHOBH. Yikes!
Brandi as learned absolutely nothing in the eight- nine years we have watched her. That was pathetic last night on all levels for her- she is still a teenager in a neighborhood where she thinks sounding like a tough guy, saying words like “motherfucker” make her sound cool- while her face shows too much work and makes her appear to be 50.
I felt very sorry for her last night. She is unable to self-evaluate, or even take feedback, and mature into adulthood. And is completely unaware of the impression she leaves. She was telling the women they could rely on her when she had just embarrassed herself and each of them, had no idea.
I’ve had a few years without close access to her and had assumed she had grown up some- not at all. Very sad.
Man, Brandy’s boys will sure have a slew of new reasons to talk to a therapist when this is over.
Updated post with freaky Omarosa video.
Thanks very much for including it, but I won’t play for me. What does she say?
That was another thing that was sad last night; as the show begins, I assume Omarosa will embarrass herself and be an ass , losing her cool and lying/manipulating obviously all over the place, over the course of the show’s run. Instead, Brandi is the out of control flunky who makes an idiot of herself on the first night, who Omarosa is apologizing for and whose antics give Omarosa reason to connect with the others about.
Brandi both was squealing like a silly teenage girl ( with a ripped sweater the first night) , and showing what a lightweight she is mentally and emotionally.
TT mentioned this group is more mature-they are, and they each know themselves we enough to desire to behave like an adult Brandi is out of her league here, from that standpoint. And Omarosa towered above her last night, I am sorry to say. It will be interesting to see how much ground she can recoup, if any. When the feeds ended last night, she was unaware of the problem.
How does one contact paper a refrigerator? My refrigerator has shelves with spaces. I would love to be able to put more things on them but I’m afraid they’ll fall through. I’d love to do it if I felt it would work. Could you post a picture?
Brandi needs to layoff the fillers. She looks odd.
We are covering the OUTSIDE silly. The inside still looks like shit.
I liked the episode. I don’t think I am going to get the feeds, but the show was fun.
They seemed actually excited being in the Big Brother house.
Omarosa came across pleasant, and I love Ross.
Three of the girls were in the storage room talking about Brandi. She claims she doesn’t remember last night. As they were walking out O told Ali to remove one of the vegetables from the counter because it was “Brandi’s boyfreind” last night and they don’t want to accidentally cook it.
ugghh I am so disappointed that this is going down about Brandi. Brandi should have just owned it and said “yeah I got shitfaced tell me what I did”.
I hope Brandi is able to take the target off her butt! This style of Reality is HER jAM!
It is disgusting that she has so little self control and maturity that she would both get loaded and do all that on the first night. One would think that she would at least spend the first few days behaving herself, without drawing attention to herself. Adding masturbation with a vegetable she returns to the groceries is just one stage way too far , to me.
I had been surprised by the way she introduced herself to the group and her reason for being on the show- to say she needed to keep her boys in private school at $30,000 per child seemed to not be well thought out. And it is something she had had plenty of time to consider in advance, with counsel.
It appears she is blowing every single opportunity she wrangles, to make money, mature, reposition herself- she is in self-destruct mode, it appears. A smarter/wiser/even just 21 year oldish Brandi could have used Omarosa’s presence and this opportunity to change her image a good deal. I hope for her sake- and for her boys’ – she wakes up- and grows up-pronto.
Well this is who Brandi is – and since Tamara just posted who is up for eviction – I guess it worked for Brandi.
For me, I think Brandi was the most honest about her situation – she needs the $$ and is desperate. No one else even mentioned this – yet it is true for everyone. I don’t think anyone of these contestants are financially independent – otherwise why bother with this type of show?
Hoping that Brandi will apply common sense or learn a lesson is an exercise in futility. I really think Brandi survives by making herself look/sound pathetic so people will feel sorry for her.
Omg. I saw a screenshot of that on twitter. She’s too much. I can’t even feel sorry for her because she’s so obnoxious. Sure does make for some interesting feeds, though.
James and Chuck are on the block and James is in trouble.
Chuck Lidell – I completely understand – he SHOULD have won HOH. Not sure why James would be up – only reason i can think of – is because someone told her about James comments about her being drunk and knowing who he would choose if he was HOH – wow.
Brandi is not HOH, Shannon is. She claims she put James up because he is the biggest threat and almost beat her for HOH. It’s a legitimate reason. With two guys on the block there are only three guys left to vote and one of them is Ross and he’s playing on the girls side of the house. It’s a done deal that James is going, He also somehow pissed off Keisha after she seemed to be bonding with him and some of the other guys last night.
Sadly, he is definitely going home. He’s the cutest guy. A couple of the girls are crushing on Metta so he will probably be the last guy to go before Ross as of now.
I should have included Brandi’s reason for voting for (do they do that still?) James out – is cuz she heard about what he said about Brandi.
not caring about Keisha at all. Wow James – I actually don’t know who he is.
There’s an actual person named Metta World Peace?! I’m not even going to bother googling that. It’s just too ridiculous.
I’m ready to die now.
Apparently Metta has tried to self-evict several times before the show started and after it aired. What did he think he signed up for? Curious to see if they show any of that tonight.
Is anyone actually falling for Omarosa’s act? This is complete bullshit. She is trying to manipulate all of us to feel sorry for her and support her. She is the Queen of Deception. She may be a woman scorned but deep down she is evil as hell.
As it turns out Keisha is HOH she must have played the card. Also, right now Chuck and Keisha are talking Keisha asked him if Ross is playing both sides of the fence, he said yes. He also told her that he doesn’t think Brandi was black out drunk. She acted the way she acted on purpose. She was drunk, sure but she knew what she was saying and she remembers it because he said something to him about last night proving that she remembers the evening.
What did Mark McGrath do to his face? He looks like the guy who’s had plastic surgery to look like a Ken doll.
He got surgery to look like a Ken Doll. 🙁
As a huge B.B. fan, im trying to get into this show but it’s been hard. I guess I’m looking for that edge that the real BB has and I’m just not feeling it. I’ll kerp trying tho.
It’s like their using cliche BB phrases and the game hasn’t really gotten off the ground yet. Meta and Keisha looked and sounded like they were reading a script. Okay okay… I know I’m being negative. I gotta give it a chance.
Holy crappolla!
Live in Aus so I only get snippets on YouTube.
Brandi has gone waaaay too far with the fillers & botox. She looked horrible!!!
I don’t like to rate looks but I think she’s got issues to go that far.
