Sad news, citizens, this is the last blog for Celebrity Big Brother USA....Good news, this blog will be back for Big Brother Canada :)
Either Ross, Marissa, Omarosa, Mark or Ariadna will be crowned winner of this season as we head towards the conclusion of this season
Welcome, everyone, to Big Brother from the Batcave with your blogger from the UK, Richie (richie4eva on Digital Spy and richiew4ever on Twitter)
"From wild competitions to epic blindsides, to national headlines....Tonight the craziest 3 weeks in Big Brother history come to an end. 5 celebrities are left in the Big Brother house but only 1 can win the quarter million grand prize...."
Previously on Celebrity Big Brother:
- Brandi was evicted, and Omarosa went to work to paint a target on James
- James was evicted
- Ross worked hard to seal deal to the end
- Ari and Omarosa became unlikely allies
We also see some highlights from earlier in the series
Who will rise to power, who will be evicted, and of course who will win it all and also win America's Favourite Houseguest
Find out presently as we take this last rollercoaster ride of the season
Julie welcomes us to the show, and plugs tonight's events before we head to the house
We pick up the action from where the recap show left off as the HoH competition began near the end of the recap show
Ari says she needs to win this HoH, and Ross says he wants to win the HoH
Mark says it is time to win some competitions after laying low throughout this series, and Omarosa talks about the pull she has with Ariandra
Various shots of houseguests shaking back and forth on their skates, shortly afterwards Marissa falls and is out of this competition
Basically whoever is last standing on their skis win HoH, and these skis are elevated and is a test of obviously balance
Ariadna is next to fall, and Ross decides to try and cut a deal with Mark. Ross says he will keep Mark safe from the block. Marissa wants Mark to win as she apparently knows he wouldn't throw her out if both them make it to final four.
Ari wants Ross to win this competition as she is sure Mark will come for her next as he got rid of Brandi on his HoH watch
Omarosa speaks up about the deal Ross and Mark are making, to which Mark says it's a secret deal and says for Omarosa to keep her earmuffs on
Mark says he wants to win this HoH as Ross wants to get a letter from his (Ross) mother, and finally Mark gives in and drops off to give Ross this particular HoH and a guaranteed place in the final four
Omarosa slow claps Ross's win saying another competition has been thrown to him
Back to Julie, and she plugs the Veto, eviction and the final HoH before calling a break
"Ross has been playing all sides of the house all game long, it's safe to say his nominations could be his biggest move yet"
Ross wants to see Omarosa out of the door, and tells Mark that if Omarosa wins Veto he will put Marissa up but needs Mark to vote Ari out
Ross admits to Marissa he is a big threat, and can't argue with 2 HoH's and 2 Vetos. Marissa tells Ross she thinks he is going to win the whole thing. Ross then tells Marissa he thinks about kids like him who have never thought they could do anything like this, and then starts crying. Talk then turns to Omarosa, who Ross says is the main target and makes a pledge to Ari he will keep her (Ari) safe if Omarosa wins Veto.
Ross thinks Ari will have his back going forward to final four if she is still there
Ari says she has to trust Ross she is not the target
Nominations time
"It is my responsibility to nominate two house guests for eviction"
Ross nominates Ari and Omarosa
Ross says Omarosa put him on the block twice, and Ari is on the block simply because they are running out of housemates...Omarosa says she will fight for the Veto
Back to Julie, and she plugs the final Veto competition of this season before calling a break
"After battling 26 days, Omarosa and Ari's Big Brother lives are on the line....Can either of them win the Veto and make it to final four"
Back to the house, and it's time for the final Veto competition
The website has malfunctioned on fictional site BBBuzz.com and the days have disappeared. What houseguests have to do is match the days up to the correct stories. Once they think they have the days correct, they have to hit the buzzer. The houseguest who pairs up the most correct stories in the fastest time will win the final Power of Veto
The scores and times will be revealed at the end of the competition
Marissa - 8 out of 8
Mark - 6 out of 8
Ross - 8 out of 8
Ariadna - 4 out of 8
Omarosa - 1 out of 8
We have a tie breaker, so Marissa and Ross only move forward to see who was fastest
Marissa - 12:31
Ross - 5:42
Ross wins the final Power of Veto, and he says he won't celebrate unless he wins the overall prize
Straight to the Veto meeting we go, and Ross asks Omarosa and Ari to give reasons to why he should save one of them
Ross decides NOT to use Power of Veto, and Omarosa or Ari will finish in 5th place in a few minutes
Ross is pretty confident Omarosa will be leaving, but admits she could last minute campaign to try and get Ari out
"Will Ross finally get his wish and rid the house of his rival"
Julie goes live to the house, and asks Ari and Omarosa to make their final pleas to stay before the houseguests vote on who to evict
Voting time and it will only be Mark and Marissa voting as Ross is only allowed to vote in the event of a tie, and the 2 nominees are not allowed to vote
Marissa votes to evict Omarosa
Mark votes to evict Omarosa
Finishing in 5th place is Omarosa
Final four is Ari, Marissa, Mark and Ross
Omarosa is so glad she lasted so longyt and is happy she took out the biggest target in James. Omarosa talks about how she wanted to let people know who the real Omarosa is.
Short interview, and Omarosa thanks her friends and loved ones for her support. Julie tells her she has one more job tonight as Omarosa is on the jury
Next up, it's the final HoH of the season
All up for grabs now, as whoever wins this HoH gets to choose who joins them in the final 2, and send the other two packing to jury
Hash it Out is the title of this final competition, and they must decide which of their former houseguests posted an incorrect statement. Whoever scores most will win the most important HoH
1. Shannon v James
Answer - James
Marissa takes an early lead
2. Keisha v Chuck
Answer - Chuck
All correct, and Marissa still in the lead
3. Metta v Shannon
Answer - Metta
Marissa still in the lead
4. James v Brandi
Answer - James
Everyone correct, Marissa in the lead with 4...Everyone else is on 3
5. Shannon v Brandi
Answer - Shannon
Everyone correct, Marissa STILL in the lead
6. Brandi v James
Answer - Brandi
Three way tie between Marissa, Ross and Mark. Ari is eliminated
Tie breaker question:
What was the time in seconds, how long was the Rocky Mountain Fly from start to finish
Ross - 1300 seconds
Mark - 2000
Marissa - 1000
Closest was MARISSA, and she wins the final HoH
Marissa is guaranteed final 2, and she has to choose who to take with her and which 2 will be evicted
Joining her in the final 2 will be ROSS, and Mark and Ari are the two evicted and the final members of the jury
Ari says Marissa did not make a mistake taking Ross to final 2, and Mark says likewise. Mark says at the end of the day they all wanted to compete, and people can never articulate what it's like to be in the Big Brother house
Ari says it was the best experience of her life, and Mark says thank you to everyone who made it possible for him to go in there
Julie calls a break before bringing the jury out
Out come Chuck, Keisha, Shannon, Metta, Brandi and James...They do not know yet who the final 3 on the jury are
Julie asks Shannon who she wants to see on the jury, to which she says Ross and Marissa...James doesn't want Mark on the jury
Julie recaps the last few minutes to the jury and introduces the lasr 3 members of the jury....Now we move onto the jury asking Ross and Marissa questions before they (jury) make their decision on who wins
"What do you both most regret when playing the game"
Marissa says there were some moves she had to do when her friends were on the block, and Ross says his biggest regret was on day 2 when he was so naive and says Brandi knows what he is talking about
"Was it important to stay true to your word in this game, or were you willing to do whatever it took to win in this game"
Ross says as things change you have to be flexible in this game and have to choose a right or die, but stayed true to his character. Marissa says she meant everything she said, and was figuring out how to make things happen
"Marissa, why do you deserve to win over Ross"
Marissa said she went along with some of Ross's, and believes she picked the right person to take to final 2 and stayed true to herself and thinks her and Ross played the best games
Julie cuts in as Marissa rambles a bit, causing amusments in the audience
Ross says he didn't hesitate when Keisha and Metta wanted to go home, and played the game hard but with compassion
"How did your strategy change over the course of the game, and what was the biggest lie you told"
Marissa says she stayed true to herself, and Ross says his strategy didn't change for a second but didn't tell the whole truth some of the time
Julie asks Ross and Marissa for their final pleas on why they should win
Marissa said she was true to Ross and their friendship, Ross says he loved this game and starts talking about the kid who is in the very first season audience and talks about his 2 HoH's and 3 Veto's. He is proud to be sitting in the final 2.
Julie announces it is time for the jury voting, and looks to Metta and says it is Vote to Win to much amusement. In case you missed it Metta thought it was vote to save earlier in the season when it was vote to evict, and he thought he was saving that particular person
Julie tells off the jury for conferring as they each take it in turns to insert their keys into the vote to win podium. Metta is mucking about and blindly inserts a key into the podium
Everyone's vote is locked in, a little chaotic around the edges, but it is done and very soon we will know the winner
Julie calls a break before she announces the winner
And off we go, this is it as we find out who is the first ever Celebrity Big Brother US
Jury votes are as follows and it's 5 votes to win
Mark votes for Ross
Ariadna votes for Marissa
Omarosa votes for Marissa
James votes for Marissa
Brandi votes for Ross
Metta votes for Ross
Shannon votes for Marissa
Keisha votes for Marissa
MARISSA wins Celebrity Big Brother and the quarter million grand prize!!!!!!!
Not the winner everyone wanted, but that is what the history books will show
Marissa's son comes on stage and he is in tears
Julie calls a break before announcing who Chuck voted for and also America's Favourite Houseguest
Chuck voted for Marissa, so the final score was 6-3 to Marissa
The top 3 vote getters for AFH were Shannon, James and Ross
America's Favourite Houseguest is ROSS
And that's it for this season, 2 series of Big Brother down and 4 more to go
I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, despite the winner and the two quitters, a little chaotic around the edges but an excellent series none the less
There was more gaming in this series than there has been in the last few summer series, and it absolutely flew by
I do hope I have done a good job for this series, and look forward to taking on the North American format again from March 7 when Big Brother Canada begins
Over to you, Arisa and Big Brother Canada and the very best of luck for your series
Before I go, I would like to point you in the direction of two podcasts which also covered the finale
BB on Blast - https://www.spreaker.com/user/lightupvm/cbbus-finale (Will contain strong language)
Both CBB's are difficult to separate, as they were both equally good so joint first place for them going into Big Brother Canada
And that as they say is IT for this series, to everyone who has read, RT or Liked my posts so many thanks from me and hopefully see all of you around on March 7
Until then, always remember someone is always watching :)
Until March 7 and beyond.....
