I am pissed that James is going on. He’s cute and he is one of the only guys playing the game. Omarosa and Brandi both want him out, so it looks like he is dead in the water. In real Big Brother, things could change but this game moves so fast, that seems highly unlikely. I still don’t see how we are going to evict ten people in two and a half weeks.
Okay, the gift bag thing is complicated. Once the TV shows the BB logo, the first person to get to the DR and declare they want to open their gift bag gets to do so at the nomination ceremony. They will either have a recast card or a regular swag bag. It sounds like if they do not have the recast card, they will get a punishment. The houseguests think that means a unitard for a set number of days. But they will not know what they have until the nomination ceremony. Now it makes sense why Keisha decided to use her recast. The girls will be trying to get to the DR first to block the guys from getting there and possibly stealing the HOH. I hope that made sense. I am exhausted and everything on my body hurts from a tiny amount of activity in THE WORLD today. I am old and fat and my body is falling the fuck apart on me. The girls decide to all try to get to the DR and force a random draw.
James and Chuck make an alliance and name it The Celebrators. The sad news is they are both about to celebrate being on the block.
This season seems to be moving at a snail’s past. I’d think it would need to be a lot faster to get all of these people out of the house. They guys kind of realize they are fucked and have to hope for the best with the gift bags. Chuck decides to hang with the girls and let them give him a face mask in order to garner their sympathy. Omarosa talks to Shannon and tells her that she is a very loyal person and then talks about how loyal she was to Trump and how that didn’t go so well for her. Omarosa says that Keisha stood by Cosby and it is the same with her and Trump. Keisha is offended by the comparison. Omarosa makes this show.
Metta asks to be nominated. He wants to go home to his wife. Shannon is not going to nominate him because he is likely to DOR at any moment. The girls want to put up Mark and Metta and back door James. She also keeps Mark and Metta from opening the bag. Dayum, she convinces all the guys not to play the giftbag. They are so stupid. James says he doesn’t want to risk wearing a unitard. Brandi says it is because he’s probably not working with much.
Then we get more discussion about Trump and the White House with Omarosa and Ross. If you missed that, the clip is on THIS POST. Basically, Omarosa is throwing a pity party for herself and trying to spin her White House job as something she did for her country at great cost to her personally. Also, we should all be worried for the country. This is not really news. Omarosa says she would never vote for Trump again.
Keisha says they should put up James and Chuck if anyone of them try to use their giftbag. They are the two biggest physical threats. Also this hasn’t happened yet but when she opens her giftbag, she doesn’t have to stick to whatever deals Shannon made.
When the TV tells them it is time to decide about the giftbag, Chuck is the only one of the guys who decides to go for it. The rest of them are idiots. So all of the girls get in on the draw and Keisha wins. Oh wait, when Marissa goes in, she does not say she wants to open hers. She’s smart. That way she doesn’t risk the dreaded unitard punishment. Each person who agreed to open their bag was assigned a color. Shannon draws from a bag to determine the winning color. Orange is chosen. That is Keisha’s color. I wanted to see all the other chips. They could have put only orange chips in the bag because they wanted Keisha to win.
At the nomination ceremony, Keisha reveals she won the draw. She has the recast card. She nominates Chuck and James. Metta World Peace is Metta World Pissed, because he wants to go home. Tomorrow’s nights episode is a live two-hour eviction night.
I feel so sorry for James. I’d like to see him go far in the game and it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. A few years ago an acquaintance of mine had a 12 year-old daughter who had cancer and was in the hospital. She was a Big Time Rush fan and James and the other guys went to the hospital to visit her and bring her some Rush swag. She passed away a few months later but he made her very happy in the moment. Brandi is a drunken ass so I was hoping she’d be booted out first. I’m not sure how much more of her antics I’ll be able to watch.
That makes me look at James differently. I think these “Disney” type stars with real young fans who adore them have trouble in the adult world where no one knows who they are. But I’ll give this guy more of a chance reading this post. Looks like he isn’t going anywhere for minute.
I think you’re right about Disney stars. I wouldn’t have known who he was except for that one experience.
OMG! This is even more scripted than any of the housewives series. Omarosa spilling the tea about the White House? Give me a break! Sending her to Celebrity Big Brother was orchestrated to continue the “reality tv” world Trump lives in. Her dramatic firing and timing fits perfectly with her appearance here.
You really think that 45 wants Omarosa belittling him on Big Brother? He’s probably fuming and tweeting.
We don’t know how this will all play out. It is, after all, reality tv.
Omarosa has a book to sell since got axed. Reality tv is her future.
Metra World Pissed!
Love it!
Shannon and Ross were having a one on one kiki in the bathroom. They are kicking around the possiblity of cutting a deal with James. I am not sure how that will work out. They need five votes to keep him. If Mark and Metta agree to keep James they would still need one more vote. I guess that would be Marissa. KeNot sure who that would be.
I feel like production has pointed out that James is good for the 18-49 ratings and they want all the eyes on the show they can get.
Also they talked about if James won HOH getting him to put up Omarosa and Keisha and voting out Keisha because she is good and they can’t beat her at the end but they can both beat Omarosa.
They need to worry about Marissa because she is already playing the game. That move she made in DR today was priceless. She was safe and didn’t risk getting a punishment and no one knows it.
I agree with your assessment because I know these shows care about ratings and James is definitely a draw of viewers in that coveted age range. For that reason I don’t see Omarosa being voted out any time soon either.
If James or Metta wins HOH I will not be shocked because that will open the door for James to be saved.
Marissa is brilliant as she plays the cute, clueless card. The other house guess already treat her like background noise which is great for her!
I love Ross and hopes he sticks around too.
Sorry TT I don’t agree with you on James. He reminds me too much of Paul in the DR. He is annoying as hell. I actually know who he is because I have a 14 year old. Picture one of the Monkees in the house.
I love Ross is considered one of the girls. Love it!!!!! Hope he wins.
Watching the feeds and it seems like the girls alliance is falling apart. Maybe they are just creating drama because it would be stupid to not stick together.
female alliances never EVER EVER work. I’m surprised they lasted this long.
The girls seem to be turning on Keisha, apparently because they think she has a final two with Chuck so Shannon is going to try to get the other girls to vote out Chuck.
James is the most entertaining of the guys. He’s good for the show. I hope he stays for a few more episodes, or maybe they’ll have a Battle Back. Most of the other guys are duds. I was afraid some of the celebs would get in the house for a day and then be all I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here, and try to DOR. Metta should be a great competitor. It’s disappointing that he’s not into it. It’s interesting to watch the difference between CBB vs. proletariat Big Brother where the players are students of the game and are in it to win it. Still i’m hooked already. Thank you so much Tamara for recapping this!
I’m an Elizabeth fan . She is actually playing the game . I also like Mark . He is playing without being noticed too much . I’ve only watched the CBS show so I’m sure I’m missing the real stuff . I gotta stay awake later .
Who is Elizabeth? Am I forgetting someone?
that is Shannon’s last name
How was anyone risking a punishment? That would only be true if everyone who said they wanted to open their bags actually had to open them. The way they did it, no one was at risk. They drew colors and the “winner” didn’t even actually open her bag. The only risk was winning the draw.
Au contraire mon cher, if you did not have the RECAST card, the house guests presumed there would be a punishment, specifically a unitard. James specifically said he wasn’t doing it because he didn’t want to be stuck in a unitard all week.
The bag was indeed opened at the table by Keisha, if she had not received the recast card, the houseguests expected a unitard punishment. When in fact, since all the bags were opened, it is possible they ALL had the recast card. It is also possible that ALL the chips in the bag were orange because production wanted Keisha to change up the nominations. It is also possible that production is going to push for the house guests to keep James because of his appeal to the younger demographic.
If Metra World Pissed wants to go home already, why oh why did he agree to be on it? Someone with more spunk could’ve taken his place. Brandi’s droopy boobs and Omarosa’s melon’s are a big old Hell Noe!
I will keep reading about cbbus in here. I gave it a try, and I’m done with #cbbus. CBS will never show the real things. Omarosa is boring too. Omarosa is on her victim-redemption tour. the live show last night was a hot entertaining mess, but I’m done.
What I liked is Omarosa put Keisha in check – by letting her know that when keisha stood up for cosby it is the same backlash as Omarosa. Of course Keisha doesn’t want to highlight any of her involvement in continuing to support Cosby.
I am glad James is up – I think they are just trying to scare him. just looks like they are making him angry. Why doesn’t Metta just leave – instead of wasting a “vote” on him?
There should be a “signal” to producers – like on 60 day in – when a participant wants to leave
He doesn’t JUST LEAVE because he will forfeit his pay if he leaves on his own. If he gets voted out he still gets paid.
never even occurrred to me that the contestants are paid a salary
I don’t understand why Metta is even there. He has to be worth millions.
Anyone see the feeds … hear it was a doozy with drunken Brandi? Spill it
I wanna know too! Wtf is she doing in that pic???!! She’s a drunk skank! Cannot stand her!
