Xavier wins Big brother USA 2021. Tiffany wins AFP.

Sunday 18 February 2018

And then there were 8...

Greetings citizens of Big Brother world, and off we go for another episode of Celebrity Big Brother USA

The show started with Julie asking if Shannon could escape another eviction, after the last evictions events saving her due to Keisha demanding to leave (as explained in last blog)

Let us all find out right now.....

Previously:


  •  James and Shannon became allies, which painted a target on their backs
  • Ariadna and Brandi pitched an idea to then HoH Ross, and also to Marissa and Mark
  • But with Keshia and Omarosa on the block, Keshia made an emotional plea for them to evict her and the backdoor plan was put on the backburner and Keshia was sent packing
  • Omarosa found out she wasn't the number one target anymore
  • Ariadna won the HoH
  • James and Shannon were put on the chopping block
Who will be the next one out......Find out presently on this next post for Celebrity Big Brother USA

Julie welcomes us in, and says its been an emotional time for Shannon

On to house events we go and its the aftermath of the nominations ceremony, with Ariadna saying Shannon is the biggest player in there and everybody wants her out. Ariadna then speaks Spanish and it translates to "It's time for a big move inside the house"

Shannon says she is feeling very betrayed at these people she thought were her allies, and they went after her when there are much bigger targets in the house

James says to Ari that he's not going to be bitter about the decision to put him on the block as it's just a game. He thanks her for not backdooring him, and then asks if Shannon wins Veto who would go on the block in her place to which she doesn't give an answer

Brandi is happy James is on the block, as it "knocks his ego down a little bit" and for her game Shannon has to go

Brandi then tells Shannon it was a group decision to put her and James on the block, and Shannon thought Omarosa would have been on the block. Shannon says Marissa and Ross stabbed her in the back and won't be getting her jury vote

Brandi calls Shannon one of the best players in there, but Shannon says Ross and Omarosa as 'superfans' are better than her, and denies an alliance with James and is fed up of getting the blame for things she hasn't done

Omarosa walks in and Shannon asks her to leave and Omarosa refuses, so Shannon chooses to address Omarosa directly. Shannon says Omarosa said a lot of things that were hurtful, but Omarosa denies it. Shannon and Omarosa then go toe to toe in regards to things that may or may not have been said. Omarosa said when she (Omarosa) went on the block she was gracious and respectful, she knows what it feels like.

Omarosa says she is not going to contribute to Shannon's stress. Shannon says Omarosa knows the game better than Shannon does

Mark says seeing Shannon melt down the way she is is disappointing, and says she can still win the Veto competition

Back to the bedroom, Shannon's tears continue and says she is not going to fight and says the only thing that can save her is the Veto, but is not getting her hopes up on that

Omarosa says there are 3 stages to Shannon:

1. Shock "Why I am I on the block"
2. Anger
3. Actress overdrive

This coming from the stupid idiot (Omarosa) who walked out overacting an asthma attack, because she didn't win HoH

Ross says it's better to talk to Shannon later when she is less emotional, Omarosa now saying Shannon was being sincere, but in the Diary Room says Shannon has to go

Brandi asks Omarosa if she ever slept with Trump, to which she strongly denied...

James makes his way to the shower and Marissa says she is staying in the room whilst Ross covers his eyes...James takes off his clothes and Marissa's eyes nearly pop out of her head while Ross's eyes remain covered

Veto player picks up next, as before 6 players for Veto competition

2 nominees and HoH, in this case nominees Shannon and James and HoH Ari, and 3 houseguests from random draw....Ross, Omarosa and Brandi are the 3 choices...Big Brother will inform them when the competition will begin

Metta has picked up a toy owl, and talks about wanting something to attach to and go all the way to the end of this game...He says he is not putting the owl down, and calls the owl Orwell

Shannon requests to talk to Omarosa, and they share a hug....Shannon says she is hoping to get back in Omarosa's good graces should she not win Veto. Shannon tells Omarosa that she (Shannon) was fighting for Keshia the whole time. Omarosa says putting game aside, she is worried about Shannon and it breaks her heart to see her melting down like this. Omarosa plants some seeds about Marissa planning to backdoor Shannon. She says she is hedging her bets and needs to cover herself in case she doesn't win Veto.

Omarosa now plants some seeds with James about Ross and Marissa, and says she wants James to get paranoid thinking he is the real target.

James confronts Ross and Marissa and they of course deny everything and then they report back to Ari about what Omarosa said to James. Marissa is saying not to believe everything Omarosa says

Ross considers options for the replacement nominee should Shannon or Ross win Veto and take themself off the block, and says Omarosa has been showing her teeth lately

Marissa is afraid Omarosa is going to mess everything up, as she is going around giving false information. She then confronts Omarosa, and Omarosa denies everything

She (Marissa) then summons James to the room, and then confirms Omarosa told him about being the real target. Omarosa then accuses James of twisting things in terms of being the real target, resulting in James walking out saying he doesn't want to get involved in a dramatic argument

Julie plugs the upcoming Veto competition, and says you have to keep your friends close and enemies closer as we go back to the house

Ari says to Ross that James will come after one of the 4 alliance members should he win Veto, and then agreement all round that Shannon could do the same if she wins

Ross says Omarosa's stirring has unsettled the alliance, then there is agreement that if James stays and wins HoH to try and get him to get Omarosa out

Brandi is angry at herself for suggesting they ally with James, as she thinks he is obnoxious

James is summoned to the HoH room, and the alliance of 4 pitch the idea of getting Omarosa out if he wins HoH

Shannon suggests she is in this for herself as of now.

Metta says he is gunning for Shannon as he didn't get to go home and see his wife

Brandi tells James Omarosa has been lying to her, and the alliance tries to make a final 5 deal to which James scoffs at in the Diary Room and can only trust himself so decides to tell them what they want to hear

Messages from home which will be skipped over in this post, as it just feels pointless as they will be seeing these people in the next few days anyway.

Omarosa tells us more about Trump and said he needed help with certain words, and wonders what is going on on the outside right now. Omarosa then talks about someone in Clinton's era called Ken Starr, and she eloquently calls him 'the boogeyman'

Veto competition time, and it's called Dining in the Dark or words to that effect

Ross is hoping Shannon doesn't win Veto

Rules: They basically have to rush through their four course meal, and complete their four course meal in the fastest time. Whoever is fastest as in switching on their light at the end of the course wins the Veto

Let's just say lots of gunk involved, and houseguests have to find the route to the next course in the dark and times are revealed after everyone has done their 4 course meal

Times were as followed:

Ross - 09:46
Ariadna - 12:02
Omarosa - 19:29
Brandi - 21:29
Shannon - 08:25
James - 06:24

James wins the Power of Veto, so fabulous no prize for guessing what he will do and who will go

Shannon now admits she needs a miracle to stay in there

Ross asks Ari who he will be putting on the block in James's place, and Ross says Mark to which Ari says Mark will hate them....She then says Omarosa is used to being on the block, and Ross says Mark has no power in the house

Veto meeting, and Ari says it is inevitable that James will use the Veto so has to decide who to put up as his replacement without putting a target on her own back

Unsurprisingly James DOES use the Veto, and Ari puts up MARK in James's place although it does seem academic as they have all but decided who they are sending out

Shannon and James share a hug and Shannon says he has to split up the pairs

Julie plugs the upcoming eviction and another break is called

Back from the break, Julie goes live to the house...Although this does feel pointless as we know who is going

Closing speeches from Mark and Shannon follow, including the usual messages to the outside for their families...Mark does goes on a bit, and calls them housemates, housemates and then mashes his words calling them housegates. Julie jokes to Shannon about time constraints after Mark's rambling. 

Shannon puts out a message about conservation and animal welfare and plugs her website

It's time, and Julie reminds us that the two nominees cannot vote and Ari as HoH can only vote in the event of a tie, but again it would feel pointless as we know who she would choose

So onto the vote.....

Ross votes to evict Shannon
Marissa votes to evict Shannon
Omarosa votes to evict Shannon
James votes to evict Shannon
Brandi votes to evict Mark
Metta votes to evict Shannon

Thankfully Metta gets his vote right this time, and Shannon is evicted 5 votes to 1

Julie reveals to the house that SHANNON is evicted, after some hugs she reveales where Metta's owl Orwell is

Straight away, Julie asks who Shannon feels most betrayed by to which Shannon names the 4 member alliance of Ross, Marissa, Brandi and Ari. She says Ross told her about the backdoor scheme just before she left, and so he won't be getting her jury vote. She thought about throwing the first HoH, and felt she had to win as all the girls had dropped and couldn't let the boys win. She says the boredom did get to her, and the sitting around waiting with nothing to do. 

Shannon's goodbye messages are played to her, and Julie wraps up the interview

And to close this particular show, Julie announces the next HoH competition and it's an endurance comp which will continue on the live feeds overnight, and the result will be revealed on here in the next post.

The next competition is titled "BB Arena" and it's in the shape of a basketball court...The houseguests have to just sit on the seats which are hanging off a wall while BB throw various objects and other stuff at them. The last houseguest standing will be the new HoH, and the first three to drop will be on slop until a certain time.

And that's it as Julie plugs the shows to come as we head into the final full week of this season....

Result to be revealed in dues course as stated above, and of course thanks for reading and hope you enjoy this post :)

Another episode in the bag as we head towards finale night in a few days time, and although the result was kind of predictable, it has been another great episode and this season is getting rave reviews from most people

Until next time, remember that someone is always watching.....

Good night :)
