By Tamara Tattles
It all comes down to this. The next two hours will determine the season two winner of Celebrity Big Brother. It’s been a wild ride this season. We got the unexpected when the house started eliminating all the men on the show one by one and not once did the men unite to stop the bleeding. On the other hand, we had one of the most unpleasant common themes of Big Brother when a group of Bible thumpers declared themselves “the good people” while exhibiting the most hateful behavior in the house. In the traditional summer games we see this dynamic often. It always makes the season seem a bit unappealing. The God Squad bands together and hurls derogatory attacks on those who are not part of the group. If somehow Kandi Burruss or the completely clueless Dina Lohan manage to pull of an upset, I will be the first to scream, “Won’t He do it?”
The Penultimate HOH Challenge
I stupidly stayed up all night on the computer and didn’t sleep much until just now so I am half asleep for this recap. I am drinking my coffee and read to go, though. The cute little clips just before the show starts have been Tom Green pretty much all season and tonight is no different. “Would you like a sandwich Natalie? We have sandwiches if you’d like a sandwich.” Tom Green was simply a delight on this season of Celebrity Big Brother.
Ricky Williams wins the puzzle challenge. Dina Lohan has no idea how the competition works is kind of hysterical. It was nice of Ricky to get out of bed for both the competition and the nomination ceremony. It was no surprise that Kandi Burruss and Dina Lohan went on the block. Dina thinks that she and Kandi were nominated because they are the best players. She is serious. And seriously, deluded.
The Veto Challenge And Ceremony
The final veto requires the house guests to climb through a series of laser lights without touching them to steal four items from the Big Brother Museum without tripping the laser security system and getting eliminated. The house guest with the fastest time wins the final power of veto. I can’t wait to watch Dina Lohan fail miserably at this challenge. It’s really all we have to look forward to this episode other than America’s Favorite House Guest.
Ricky is so bad at the diary room. I don’t know why we are getting so much of it for this challenge. Dina Lohan, Tamar Braxton and Kandi Burruss are the only ones left who give good diary room. Dina is predictably terrible at this challenge. Kandi’s big booty had her at a huge disadvantage with the lasers, but she did a decent job. It just wasn’t good enough. Lolo Jones wins the final veto. The masterminds, Lolo Jones and Ricky Williams discuss the options. Tamar tried to convince them to keep Kandi. Lolo chose not to use the veto.
The Mooch
This segment was a waste of valuable time. The only thing I learned from this is that the audience likes Tamar Braxton. If she wins America’s Favorite House Guest I will be gutted. Tom Green winning that is the only good outcome that can happen on this show at this point. The Mooch moving into the house for six days served no purpose whatsoever.
The Penultimate Vote
Of course Kandi Burruss is emotional in her speech. Dina Lohan is a bit emotional with her speech also. Lolo voted to evict Kandi. Tamar voted to evict Dina to insure Kandi as her jury vote. She may be the only one she gets if she makes it to final two. Ricky chose to send Kandi out to meet Julie. The audience gasps and says, “No!” The crows goes wild when Kandi walks out.
Kandi looks amazing. She has lost a lot of weight. Kandi has no hard feelings. She is so glad she and Tamar are friends again. She is beaming at her family in the audience.
The Final HOH
All four remaining house guest compete in the Celebrity Lookalike Junior Challenge. In this challenge a child dressed as one of the house guests will come out and read three statements. One of the statements will be false. You can see how much Tamar wants this.
The kids are adorable. First, Tom Green and he was so cute I couldn’t focus on the question. Kandi would have been great at this. Then, Tamar tied the game. In the end, RIcky won because Tamar really boffed it on the tiebreaker. WON’T HE DO IT?!
Please let Ricky take Dina and lose. At the ceremony, all three girls give speeches lauding Ricky’s praises. Only Lolo says they have been a team all season and directly asks for him to choose her. And he does. WOW! In a shocking but smart move, he choses to drag Tamar to the end presuming no one will vote for her. Did he make the right choice? I think he would have won either way but he did just choose someone to get an extra $50,000. That will pay of lot of divorce attorney bills for Tamar.
The Jury Vote
Tamar is sobbing. I bet Lolo and Dina vote for Tamar. The good news is that Lolo Jones regrets fucking over Tom Green. Lolo is pissed and says their friendship may be over. Dina Lohan is just happy to be there. She made eleven friends. Lolo thinks Ricky will lose the game. I think Kandi will vote for Tamar. Natalie might choose Tamar.
Tom points out he tried to get Ricky out since the first week. He will probably vote for Ricky. The five guys may all vote for Ricky and he would win,
The Jury Questions
Tom Green asks Ricky Williams, ” What do you think was your biggest game move?” I love this question because he didn’t have any big moves, unless napping and sitting were considered his game moves. He said it was not freaking out on the block. Tom will probably vote for Tamar. She should win out of these two because she played a better game.
Tamar Braxton gave the best answer, it is true and it strokes Tomato’s ego. She says gunning to get them out of the house was her biggest move because she knew she could not beat either one of them. Again, I now think they should vote for her to win.
Ricky’s biggest regret was not winning slaughterhouse. Tamar’s biggest regret was getting too emotional. Tamar Braxton is rocking this.
The Speeches
At first Tamar’s speech was great. She talked about losing her job, her marriage, her house and stayed strong. But then she said something about promising herself that through it all she would always be kind. I am waiting for the lightning bolt.
Ricky apologizes to them all for pissing them off. Ricky says he has tried to be himself the whole time in the house. He did a really good job on the speech. It was better than Tamar’s but was that enough? Tamar needs to get some of the guys votes to win.
Jury Discussion
Tamar is still crying on the block as the jurors discuss what they saw on TV. Jonathan says he was surprised that everyone thought he was a threat. There are bromances blossoming everywhere.
Tom Green talked about how stressful the house was and how he was stressed when he left until he got online and saw all the love and that really made him feel good. YAY! We love you Tom Green! Kato is so glad that people got to know him as more than a soundbite. Natalie reveals the Tamar had the Power of the Publicist.
Votes for Tamar: Jonathan, Ryan, Joey, Kato, Natalie, …. SHE WINS! I am shocked at how happy I am for her. Her son comes running up on stage. Tamar won all the votes. The only other unanimous vote was for ever was for Dan Gheesling in season ten.
TOM GREEN! WINS AMERICA’S FAVORITE!
I was one of the last people rooting for Tamar. She played a really good game at the end. I am really happy for her!
Oh! and I was shocked and THRILLED when Lolo got evicted. She was terrible!
Me too! And I was glad she was so pissed.
Wahoo for Tom!
I do not like Tamar at all, so I am salty right now. It was fun trying to figure this crazy cast out, getting feeds cut every second. In the end, I really enjoyed Dina and her silly ways, she’s endearing. I would of loved it if she and Kandi made F2 and then Kandi for the win.
I’m right there with you, laila. I can’t stand Tamar and so wanted Kandi to win. I turned the TV off immediately when she won.
TT, thank you for all your wonderful CBB recaps and for everything you do for us! Thanks for broadening my horizons by recapping non-Bravo shows. My life is so much fuller now 😄
Ugh…not how I thought this would end.
Lolo is an extremely bitter woman. I feel sorry for her.
Tamar is just too much.
Once Tom left, so did my joy, but it was fun reading your comments! Thanks!
When Tom left. The house was such a bore. Dina and her ditsy ways were funny and I loved watching Kandi cook, but they mostly slept and really didn’t interact that much. Who wants to watch people playing chess, sleep, put on make up, read Bibles?
I hope Lolo gets psychological help. I truly mean that.
….or some “Vitamin D” LOL
I’m not sure she wants err “Vitamin D”.. maybe “Vitamin C”.. whatever she wants is fine with me. But, someone help this girl to realize her life is not so bad and to cheer up.
I think she is a lesbian and her religious believes don’t allow her to come out.
Happy Tamar took it over Ricky. Annnnd now Tamar broke the “First guest in the house never wins” curse!!
I think she started off the game pretty horribly, but she ended up evolving, maturing and finally getting her head into the game.
Lolo was ugly, petty and bitter until the end. What a horrible human being. #notanamericanhwro #thuginanolympyancostum
I think Tamar threw the comp when she knew it was a tie breaker between she and Ricky. She knew Ricky was going to bring her to the final 2 and didn’t want blood on her hands from Lolo and Dina.
She also wanted to try and make sure Kandi made the final four because Kandi would of brought her to the finals, but Dina wouldn’t,
Nene must be so proud that her girl Tamar won, they’re both the same…obnoxious
… and she was rooting for Tamar over Kandi… TT told us here.
Dumbass Ricky thought Kandi was jealous of Tamar; It’s the other way around Ricky you dumb asshat.
Also, Nene saying/lying that Big Brother asked her to be on BB is a lie, 100%. Why would they ask her to be on knowing that Gregg has cancer? The answer is they wouldn’t.
100% agree with you about Tamar making sure to throw the HOH competition. Also, why couldn’t NeNe say that she was rooting for both Kandi and Tamar? Petty…
Probably because Nene is jealous and it’s not about her. So she had to nudge her way into the spotlight somehow to make herself keep on looking petty. What she doesn’t realize is it makes her look bad.
I wonder how Ricky feels that no one voted for him. Like TT said, only Dan from S10 had a landslide.
Yali,
I don’t know why my post was a reply to you, Maybe I’m being punished because I’m more bitter than Lolo. #iamabitterbitchlikelolo
I was thrilled when Lolo was evicted! Her bitterness was not something I wanted to see rewarded. It would just encourage her to continue with her pity party and sense of entitlement because she is an olympic competitor who reads the bible and is saving her virginity. This she seems to think she deserves something for that. Ugh! Bitter, bitter, bitter. She will never win a medal with that attitude.
All in all, I was quite satisfied to see Tamar win, as well as Tom. I never did like Ricky. He seemed like a very inauthentic person.
Tamar winning was actually perfect! And unanimously! That’s awesome! She is messy, loud, and annoying but she did evolve and mature some over the 28 days. Ricky looked so smug in the final two; he seemed to think he had it in the bag. I was so sad to see Kandi go but I’m glad she played the game, stayed true to herself, and managed to help her friend win. LoLo and Eva Marie seem so bitter and unhappy. Dina was just happy to be anywhere! She was hilariously clueless answering questions about the houseguests. So glad that Tom won America’s Favorite Houseguest. He was definitely mine. I never would’ve predicted that final two after episode one! Glad I watched this season.
Definitely one of the best seasons of the show.
Aw, was I the only one who got really happy when Tom said he went home and read comments and they made him feel better?
Tom, you were the best and very fun to watch!
I ended up being really happy for Tamar.
Ugh, I thought Ricky’s answers to questions sounded arrogant and awful.
Biggest regret was not winning Slaughterhouse. Okay.
Lolo needs to GO AWAY. I’d be happy to never see her again. Incredibly PETTY and when she said she didn’t want to be friends with him showed exactly what an asshole she really is. Good luck ever finding anyone to marry your cranky ass.
Giggle “cranky ass”.
I must admit, I turned it off when Tamar and Ricky became the final two. Just didn’t care who won at that point.
So happy Tom won favorite houseguest!!!
Thanks for the good news.
In the beginning of the season I was not a Tamar fan, she was a mess and mean to people. As the season wore on and she got her emotions tamped down she was ok to watch. I wanted Kandi and Tom as the final 2, I admit it. When that couldn’t be, and after Kandi and Tamar worked out their issues, I was rooting for Kandi Tamar match up as the final 2. Once Kandi was voted out by that arrogant asshat, I was team Tamar all the way! So glad she won, and unanimously to boot! What a great season!!! Next time Kandi and/or Tamar goes on tour I’d love to see Tom Green as the opening act!
Lolo needs to get laid.
Perhaps she is confused about her sexuality?
Anyway, she’s very unhappy and quick to snap. Not a good character trait.
I’m glad Tamar won & it was sweet to see her & her little boy together on stage.
However, when she said she promised to be kind througout it all, I instantly flashed back
to how ignorant & rude she was to Tom upon his departure.
Fast forward to Tom embracing Tamar and congratulatin her on her win,
AND the fact that he voted for her to win, speaks volumns about Tom’s character.
I’m so glad Tom won fan favorite! That is the only reason I kept watching until the end.
I know Tamar needs the money and whatever recognition this show has brought her, but
she did not have to be so mean to Tom.
Don’t go around saying you’re holy-holy and then treat people like dirt.
Maybe the next reality show should be, “I profess to be a Christian, but I’m really a dog shit devil.”
I suspect Lolo is no longer a virgin and maintaining that image is making her batty and bitter. It was a good story during for the Olympics and probably true at that time. However, the Olympics were a long time ago for her.
I’m happy this was recapped, I never watched before so TT’s explanations helped me to understand the show.
I hope Tamar and Kandi can remain on good terms. Tamar is so unpredictable.
Kandi is the reason I watched the show. I like her and I love seeing her many successes.
Hehehe I love love love ‘dog shit devil’. I am going to use it often if that’s ok with you. I know a few dog shit devils. Haha
Tamar played a horrible game. She refused to even go into the haunted house. She was loud & rude. She cried almost as much as Lolo. I really wanted Kandy to win
I can’t believe that some of Y’all think Tamar through the last HOH. First of all no one is that stupid. You don’t throw the last HOH ever. She’s obnoxious as fuck but she was FOCUSED on that HOH. I even mentioned in the recap that is was obvious how much she wanted/needed this.
I admire her for not talking about her financial problems and her career fails and marriage fails in the house. It came up here and there but some people have gone is talking about how they “need the money the most” from the first day, Lolo was the closest thing we had to that this season.
I’m okay with her winning and buy a house for her and her boy. But now I’d like for her to go away and stay off my TV.
LOL, TT, that is wishful thinking, Tamar is not going to go away and stay off your/our TV, the BFV will be coming on soon.
Okay, I will agree with that. I needed some irrational reason as to why she won. I turned my laptop off last night and it cracked and now I’m typing on a broken computer.. lol
I am going to wish her well and congratulate her. I know one thing, her son is adorable. He has Tamar’s face. I hope she grows and becomes nice, like she said she would. And I hope she doesn’t brag about this forever.
I don’t understand how Tamar is in financial trouble after almost 10 years of being married to a very successful producer. Divorce agreement must have provided her well, as he was clearly more successful than her in that 10 years financially. Please straighten me out if I have missed something. The “I can finally buy a house for my son & I “ sounds off, but perhaps her xhusband has gone bankrupt? Or owes the IRS? Someone inform me!
He is refusing to divorce her.. And he has financial problems.He will try to take half of her money,
That’s horrible! Thanks for the info!
Theres a name for the difference between Tamar’s behavior in the beginning and the end. Xanax. I heard , in The background one night weeks ago on BBAD her say “time to take a xanax.” She wasnt in the room while another conversation was going on, but I heard her say it. I even rewinded just to hear it again. That explains her tamp down on her irrational behavior. Allegedly. I think Lolos behavior would have been a little less over the top if she, also, were medicated. Blight.
I thought when Tom left the house all the fun was gone and quit watching the feeds.
Ricky would have had a much better chance of winning if he had kept his word and taken Lolo to the final two but I’m glad it played out the way it did. And I found it hysterical that Ricky’s wife (?) leaped up on stage and wrapped her legs around him right in the middle of the hoopla and center stage. They went to break pretty quick to get her back in her seat.
I wish they would publish stats on the number of votes for each person for America’s Favorite. I’m sure Tom won by a landslide and perhaps a low number of votes would make the other players think about how they were perceived.
Oh! Is that who it was? I saw some woman with her legs wrapped around some guy but by not watching closely l couldn’t tell who it was! Thank you for clearing that up! I’m soooo glad Ricky didn’t win. He played a dirty game and was loyal to no one. I think the final tally was more anti-Ricky than pro-Tamar. Good season! Also happy to hear Julie Chen Moonves say she’d be on the next season of regular Big Brother.
TT/. Thanks for a great season of recaps. I hope Natalie and LoLo learned one important lessen and that’s hope to apply their make-up. They are both very pretty and their make-up is incredibly distracting. Today TMZ did a FaceTime/ skype interview with Dina Lohans on-line boyfriend. He seemed just as clueless as her. He says he knew who she was and who Lindsey was when they met but they connected because of their love for the Hamptons. TMZ was able to locate him and FaceTime/skype with him so why couldn’t DIna after 5 years. When he was asked why they never met in person or FaceTimed his answer veered off in another direction. I can’t tell if he is clueless or purposely avoiding the question. He also danced around the question if he and Dina would ever meet. He seemed very scatter brained.
That is funny! I am going to watch the TMZ interview now! Thanks for posting this.
Dina should have held out for a Catfish special though.
When Ricki didn’t chose Dina, I was floored. We could not believe it. I’m a Tom fan now, and that’s the only thing I can take away from this disaster of a season.
Y’ALL I may be a bit behind on comments because I had to go out into THE WORLD a good bit today. It is supposed to start raining again for the foreseeable future and I wanted to get stocked up on necessities and pick up my laundry so I won’t have to leave the house.
BUT STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND GO LISTEN TO THIS VOICEMAIL AND READ THE STORY ABOUT DINA’S CATFISH!
https://theblast.com/dina-lohan-boyfriend-jesse-nadler-linda-scarpa-facebook/
Oh good God! Dina, Dina, Dina! I’m completely creeped out!!!!
I hope Dina realizes he is a POS and gets as far away from him as possible!
I posted about Dina’s ” boyfriends” TMZ interview before I listened to his voicemail. What a creep. He played the sick mom card. Does he seek out somewhat famous women with troubled pasts and tell them that he is their biggest fan. Sounds like an emotional predator. I hope Dina wises up and maybe Linda can introduce him to a pair of cement shoes.
Sometimes autocorrect makes my day. Calling Lindsay, Linda tickles my funny bone.
LIndsay Lohan is threatening Big Brother. lol.
lindsaylohan
Finally #family @alianalohan #free @cbs_bigbrother you suck and get no Valentine’s from @lohanbeachclub @mtv my mother is an AMAZING woman and she did so well. The secrets she told me a few hours ago are going to #EXPOSE #YOUALL #dinalohan #dfwm
Awwh…gotta love the loyal love.
Lindsay Lohan bites the hand that feeds her Mother. No surprise there, none at all. Also I was wrong wrong wrong in my predictions that I saw no Tamar win. This was my first year to watch Celebrity Big Brother. I now know anything is possible on this show!
We were all wrong, and in a regular season, I don’t think she would have won with that behavior. She had an excellent strategy EXCEPT her jury management was horrendous. The celebs get to go home and watch the show and move on from bitter feelings. In the real game the voting jury is sequester where they fester and talk ad nauseum about how people treated them in the house, they find out that their alliance member had alliances with everyone. They get more bitter by the day and vote accordingly.
The delusional apple doesn’t fall far from the Lohan tree.
Spill the beans `Lyndsay. I heard she spelled Kandis’s name Kandia in one of her tweets, it sounds like a yeast infection. They are a funny messy family. I enjoy Dina and her quirky ways. `Give them a reality show. I would watch it. I want to see Dina’s brothers and her mom. Dina said on BB that she didn’t know what year she was born. Her mother doesn’t know either. Hahhaha. They are cute funny.
That catfish boyfriend is a creep. And the other girl involved is looking for her 15 minutes. Sadly, I think Dina will still keep him around.
Ricky seriously misread that situation! He was an extremely boring player! I think the only one he could have won against was Lolo! She was not likable in my book. Her anger was palpable. Dina & Tamar were just straight up funny and entertaining! Dina was funny quite by accident I think! So glad Tamar won!
I agree that Dina was funny but there is a difference, I laughed with Tom but laughed at Dina.
I’m just happy smug Ricky didn’t win. He was nasty and condescending to several house mates. Guess he knew nothing about “jury management.”
TMZ is running a full story on one snarky comment on Twitter. Coming on CBBUS might be a huge problem for her career. I am starting to think she is o steroids.
Fan #1: “Who would’ve thought that Ryan Lochte would finish #CBB looking like the most mature and gracious Olympian on the show? I used to like Lolo as an athlete, but now I can’t stand #locoLolo”
Fan #2: “Maybe the difference is Ryan actually wins medals at the olympics while LoLo loses at the games. She needs anger management and to stop being a sore loser.”
Lolo: “I also don’t get escorted out of the Olympic games either or lie about a whole country.”
Yali,
She’s going after Ricky, Tom and Ryan. The bitch lies.
Lindsey is an idiot! Another gossip website She slammed Ricky about his reason for putting Dina and Kandi on the block. In his answer He was either kidding or just didn’t didn’t chose the correct words. His reason was because the two women didn’t sleep with him. Everyone that watched a few episodes knows he was referring to his bedroom alliance with LoLo, Natalie and Tamar. She even went as far to call him “#rapyrcky”. Shaming him for his behavior during this time of the Me Too movement. Um… Isn’t Lindsey pimping out her staff demanding they do whatever it takes to bring in guests and make money on her MTV show? Then she put the nail in her own coffin and went after Tamar. Lindsey claimed that money was more important to Tamar than being a strong women. Oddly not once during her time in the house or since she has been out has Dina had anything negative to say about the show or her fellow housemates. I think Lindsey will exaggerate things and create problems to get attention. In her posts she always adds
#lohanbeachclub.
Lyndsay is slamming Tamar saying she’s conniving blah blah blah, whatever, it just sounds bitter.
But, she’s slamming the Mooch stating that she’s banning him from entering Greece? What is she talking about? Is this for publicity?
Can someone tell me why Lolo kept wiping her nose in that weird way, wiping up the tip of her nose with her palm?? It was driving me nuts.
Lolo is slamming Ricky calling him a false prophet?!?… and some other garbage about him.
She is also alluring to something like.. Tom was doing some awful things in the house.
Just giving my daily update on crazy 😉
But Lindsay banning the Mooch from Greece is hilarious.
HA! Looks like Lindsay got bitch slapped for her IG threats

I have been made aware that further comments were added to my last Instagram post as to appear that I wrote them. Firstly, I can guarantee these comments were not made from me. Sadly from investigation I have learned that a past member of my team who had access to my account made these changes. This matter has now been dealt with internally.
I want to personally thank CBS and Big Brother for giving my Mother this incredible opportunity and also to say how proud I am of my Mom for what she has achieved. Also MTV and Viacom for their wonderful support. Lastly, I want to thank those who made me aware of what was happening on my social media channels . Thank you. Lindsay x
