Celebrity Big Brother Recap: Did Ryan Lochte Get Evicted?

Ever since Kato won the HOH competition on Thursday night, he and his allies have been chatting about the idea of evicting Ryan if there was a replacement nominee.  The pre-edited segments of Mondays mostly live installment of Celebrity Big Brother saw that plan gathering steam, with Kato doubling down on Tom, Natalie, and Lolo that one of them needed to win the veto.  First, however, he had to contend with Tamar Braxton who was not impressed that he called out the fact that she wanted to see her son during her nomination speech.  “Every mother’s supposed to miss their children,” Tamar said to him as she stormed off.  “Whenever someone says ‘go home and be with your kid, it makes me feel like I’m nothing,” Tamar later said to the man who put her on the block.  Dina was also not impressed about being on the block, complaining that nobody seems to be telling the truth in the house.  Um, what?  Did Dina forget that this is a battle for $250,000? In any case, Kato reassured her that she would be safe and that she had to trust him.  When the new powerful alliance met up outside to discuss the backdoor Ryan plan, one of them forgot to close the door, and Ryan seemingly heard everything.  Ryan then confided in Joey that one of them was going on the block, and the pair ultimately took the news to Kato. Kato said that one of them will likely be going up.  Tom, Natalie, and Joey were picked to play in the live veto alongside the HOH and the two nominees.  It came down to Tamar and Tom who tied in the first round of the competition. Tom snagged the win and removed Dina from the block.  Ryan was named the replacement nominee and was eliminated by a vote of 6-1. As he walked out the door, Joey complained to Kato.  As for whether Ryan would hold a grudge against Lolo at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, he said he considered everyone in the house to be his friends.  It was a classy exit, but Ryan did already know the writing was on the wall for him after the way the veto went.  Julie then lifted the lid on the latest twist to rock the house. Viewers were given the opportunity to vote for one houseguest to be safe at one of the next two evictions.  What are your thoughts on all the latest action?

Celebrity Big Brother Recap: Which Houseguests Have the Power?

Celebrity Big Brother Season 2 got underway on Monday night, and it found 12 celebrities (if you can call most of them that!) entering the house to battle for a cash prize.  There was a Real Housewife (Kandi Burruss), Lindsay Lohan’s mother (Dina Lohan), Anthony Scaramucci, and even that loser Ryan Lochte.  Yeah, we think it’s fair to say CBS scraped the bottom of the barrel with most of these options, and most viewers will be looking at this edition as a bonus winter season featuring regular houseguests.  There wasn’t much in the way of action during this opening installment, but we’ll run down some of the highlights for you.  Tamar Braxton and Kandi had some beef before entering the house, and it was evident based on the confessionals that there were still some negative feelings between them.  Tamar opted to kill Kandi with kindness by offering to work as a pair with her during the first HOH competition. Whether these two will be able to play nice when the heat is turned up is another story, but time will tell.  Olympian Lolo Jones complained in the D.R. that knowing Ryan Lochte would make her an immediate target. It’s not uncommon for Olympians to know each other, but we see where Lolo is coming from.  Surely anybody would want anyone associated with Lochte out of the house. He’s a freaking snake.  Julie Chen then revealed the first twist of the season: The houseguests would be paired up to become Celebrity Big Brother’s first-ever power pairing to compete for the HOH competition.  Ryan was drawn to go first, and he picked Jonathan to work with him. Next, Tamar chose Kandi for her pair. Then we’ve got Joey and Ricky. Lolo and Tom. Dina and Anthony. That left Kato and Natalie wondering about whether they were about to be sent to the block without getting a chance to fight for safety.  With that, Julie revealed the two left out of the competition were safe from the block during the first nominations ceremony.  The houseguests then worked in their pairs to try and fill up champagne glasses. Ryan and Jonathan had an immediate lead, but by the end, they were neck in neck with Lolo and Tom.  In a tense standoff, Ryan and Jonathan won. Their victory was short-lived, however, when Julie announced the pair would be facing off against each other on the next episode.  The winner would be the first HOH, and the other would find themselves as the first nominee.  Gulp.  What are your thoughts on celebrities?

Celebrity Big Brother Recap: Was the Recast Twist Used?

Julie Chen always says to “Expect the unexpected” when it comes to twists on Big Brother.  The celebrity edition of the hit series is no different, and we picked up with Shannon Elizabeth’s big win becoming a big question mark.  That was because one houseguest had the power to overthrow her as Head of Household if they had the right swag in their golden bag.  “Normally, I give my gift bags to my housekeeper because it’s full of crap, but this one I might actually want,” said Brandi with a grin. This woman is not pleasant.  The women worried that their grip on power in the house was drawing to a close, so they reeled Ross Matthews into their alliance.  For those keeping score at home, a 7-person alliance almost never works. But maybe the women and Ross can prove otherwise.  In a surprising turn of events, Mark offered Shannon to be a pawn, and that made things a whole lot easier for her when it came to nominating houseguests for eviction.  Metta already wanted to go home, so the ladies realized they could throw him up, and if the opportunity presented itself, they could backdoor James and send him out of the house first.  Marisa decided against using the recast twist, and it proved she did not want to get blood on her hands so early in the game. She’s one of the more analytical houseguests.  With most of the women asking to use the recast twist, it was revealed during the nominations ceremony that Keshia was the lucky victor.  But she shocked everyone when she put James and Chuck on the block. What was the point in her not putting the others up? Maybe it was to try and act like she was not in an alliance with all of the women, but it would have made so much more sense to go for Metta and Mark.  Why give Jason the opportunity to play for Veto? He’s already a threat and has clashed with multiple of the females, so why not make sure he goes home? Obviously, the women have all the votes right now, but much can change in a few days in the house. James is going to manipulate his way off the block. Aside from the gameplay, Omarosa and Ross had a tearful chat about the White House. Omarosa confirmed that she would never vote for Trump again and that everyone should be worried about his power.  Things took an explosive turn when Keshia asked about the White House, and good old O thought she was being confronted by someone.  Omarosa brought up Keshia supporting Bill Cosby during his multitude of sexual assault cases, and well, both women retreated.  We are just two episodes in, and the cracks are already starting to form.  Who do you think will be evicted first?  Hit the comments below.  Click below to find out what happens next.  View Slideshow: Celebrity Big Brother Spoilers: Who Is Going Home?!

14 TV Villains You Love to Loathe: Where Does Corinne Rank?

Let's face it: You watch reality TV for one reason and one reason only: to hate on personalities such as the following “celebrities,” each of whom has enjoyed at least 15 Minutes of Fame due to… well… pretty much sucking as a human being. But which of these reality show villains has been the worst of the worst? Scroll around and then sound off! 1. Corinne Olympios It took barely a few episodes of The Bachelor Season 21 for Corinne to strip down in front of Nick Viall… for her to talk openly about a “nanny” does everything for her at home… and for her to taunt her fellow suitors after getting a rose. 2. Spencer Pratt Everything between Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad was great before Spencer Pratt appeared on the scene and spread vile lies about Conrad, ruining her relationship with Montag forever. 3. Chad Johnson Chad’s antics made for good television on The Bachelorette, but he went off the deep end on Bachelor in Paradise. He threatened to kill every single person on the show! 4. Simon Cowell This music mogul has a knack for being very rude to most of the contestants. Could that be why The X Factor US cratered? Were viewers sick of the way he acted? 5. Teresa Giudice Teresa has never been one to stay quiet about her feelings. She really has no filter and that’s why she eventually flipped a table because of Danielle Staub. 6. Scott Disick Keeping Up with the Kardashians would not be the same without Scott Disick’s snarky comments. His relationship with Kourtney may be on the brink of destruction, but please keep Disick on the show! View Slideshow

Jonathan Cheban Quits Reality Show: I’m Already Famous!!!

Cheebs is over it. Today, Jonathan Cheban’s “team” confirmed via Twitter that the marginally-famous reality star left Celebrity Big Brother UK . Kim Kardashian’s best friend complained of feeling “edgy” and “claustraophobic” in the Real World -style house, where he competed against other quasi-famous contestants to win some nonexistent crown. On Saturday night’s episode, an anxious Cheban asked to speak to producers, then spent an hour by himself in the diary/confessional room.  After he emerged, the aspiring reality star told the others he’d give the show one more night. “I’m definitely a little bit torn on whether to stay,” Cheban, 41, admitted. “There’s a point when my mental stability is more important that entertaining.  I know Big Brother would not want me in pain, especially when I give 24-hour entertainment.”  After Cheban came out of the diary room, Gemma Collins insisted he stay, since it would do wonders for his career in Great Britain. “It’s not that, I’m huge here,” Cheban assured her.  “We’re on in 180 countries!” Who’s we, Kemo Sabe? Things didn’t improve for Cheebs, though. “I feel like it’s closing in, there’s no room to hide so until I get out of here I’m not going to be calm,” he whined. “It’s becoming impossible, I can’t sit still, my heart is tight and racing all the time now. I can’t even enjoy it, the fun masks it and now we’re done with the day. I’m so anxious I’m going to have a heart attack.” So, today the guy who wants to be a star left CBB , safe in his knowledge that he is already a big deal. Several reports claim that Cheban was wooed by producers, who sent a private plane for his spoiled ass  and heeded his demands for expensive meals and a Rolls Royce to drop him off at the house. Cheban’s grand exit will take place on January 12th episode. Also in the house this season is David Bowie’s ex-wife, Angie, who opted to remain on the show after learning of the  singer’s passing .
