Episode 11 - Veto and Double Eviction

Hello, citizens, as we enter the final stages of Celebrity Big Brother USA and tonight's a DOUBLE eviction

So without any further ado, let's get straight into proceedings

Julie opens the show with "7 celebrities are left in the house, with 3 days left that means only one things, its a double eviction"

Previously on Celebrity Big Brother:


  • Ross and Marissa had secured 2 final 4 alliances
  • First with Ariadna and Brandi, and also with James and Mark
  • But Marissa was feeling more loyal to her original final 4
  • Ross was playing both sides, but Ari was very suspicious
  • Mark won HoH, and wanted to break up some of the duos
  • Mark put Brandi and Ari on the block
Julie welcomes us in and plugs Double Eviction night, and says there are more duos than there are days left

We pick up after the nominations ceremony and Mark is saying Brandi is the main target

Brandi is not surprised she has been nominated, and thinks this is James's doing and says James is going on personal vendettas rather than game reasons

Ariandra says it sucks she and Brandi are on the block, and will fight for Veto and hopefully win so she can take herself off the block, and force Mark to put someone else up

Omarosa is happy she is not on the block and wants to send 'wicked witch' Brandi out of there

Mark thinks Brandi is pissed at him, but Brandi tells him she has not been lobbying for him for weeks and doesn't know who told him that. Mark replies with the HoH is not all it's cracked up to be

Mark thinks Ari is crying and James tells him to tell her she is not the target

Brandi says Ross is making deals with everyone in the house and is going with whoever has the power

Marissa says she feels confident with James and Mark now she is not on the block, then informs Ross Brandi is the target

Ross says he thinks he could beat Brandi at the end, but also says if he tells her the truth about everything it could put Brandi in a downward spiral

Ari asks James how he is feeling about the nominations, and he tells Ari nobody is going for her and she says she doesn't know. James thinks Ari is not a strong player and would prefer Ari stays in the house rather than Brandi

Ari says she better win the Veto as you never can tell what happens in this competition

Omarosa again talks about Trump, saying some people claim he does not have qualified people around him, and the narrative is "How did she (Omarosa) become Director of Communications" to which Omarosa goes through her various degree qualifications.

Veto competition time, ICYMI it's the HoH, 2 nominees and 3 houseguests through random draw

Mark, Brandi, Ari and the 3 chosen through random draw are Omarosa, James and Marissa....So Ross will sit this one out as the only houseguest not chosen

Marissa and Ari are in the pantry discussing Ross, and Ross walks in to get some food. Ross says he can't go against the house when Ari asked him about where he will place his vote

Ari reiterates she HAS to win Veto as Ross didn't give her a clear answer

Back to Julie, and she goes live to the house to announce to them it is a double eviction night, so what that means is that there will be HoH, nominations, and a Veto competition tonight to decide who will leave after tonight's first evictee

Back in the studio, Julie plugs the next part of the show as in the Veto competition and more of James versus Brandi and then calls a break

Back from the break and back to the house action, a game is taking place to which Brandi says "Say something bad about Julie" to which Ross and Marissa make a swift exit

Omarosa says Brandi is getting worse, and what Brandi said is right at the top of her no no's in the Big Brother franchise

Brandi says if there is anyone she could have on the block right now, it would be James and Omarosa. Brandi then says she knows James is not voting for her, to which James thinks she is assuming, and Brandi says she saved him twice. James says she has been poking him since day one and been rude and that he can't wait to send her home when the time comes

James continues to talk about Brandi, until she walks into the same room as him to which he walks out straight away

Brandi says she overheard the conversation and accuses Marissa of agreeing with James, which Marissa denies. Brandi continues to work herself up, and Marissa eventually walks out.

Marissa thinks there is no saving Brandi now, even though the original plan was to get rid of Omarosa if Omarosa was on the block

Time for the Veto competition, and the rules for this one say:

Housemates have to guess which eyes nose and mouth belong to the action figures of the houseguests in front of them, as they have been mixed up. In simple english, they have to put the names of who they think the eyes belong to, the nose belong to and the mouth belong to, and keep changing around if the answers for the various dolls are not right. The houseguest who finishes all 4 dolls in the fastest time wins the Veto

Once housemates have finished or don't beat another houseguests time will join Ross in the HoH room and watch proceedings from there until everyone has finished

Omarosa up first, and she will set the time for the others to beat

She says she doesn't want to win Veto, so deliberately goes as slow as possible

Omarosa finishes with a time of 38:52.80, so there's the time to beat which won't be too difficult as Omarosa did throw this competition

Ari up next, and she finishes with a time of 9:10.56 and is the current leader

Everyone else fails to beat Ari's time, so Ari wins Power of Veto and highly likely she will use it

Mark says he will put Marissa on the block if inevitably Ari uses the Veto and takes herself off the block. Reason being, there is no chance it will backfire and Brandi WILL go home.

Ari does indeed save herself and uses the Veto on herself, and Mark does indeed choose to put Marissa on the block and it's the first time for Marissa on the block

Marissa is very cool about being on the block as Brandi's fate is going to be sealed anyway

Back from the latest break, and Julie goes live to the house as it's time for the first live eviction of the night and Marissa or Brandi will go first

Brandi - Made some amazing friendships, and wants Ari to win the overall competition

Marissa - Not going to campaign against Brandi, and being a cancer survivor is the greatest achievement of her life

And let the first vote of the night begin, Mark will only vote in the event of a tie and the 2 nominees cannot nominate at all

James votes to evict Brandi
Ari votes to evict Marissa
Ross votes to evict  Brandi
Omarosa votes to evict Brandi

Brandi is evicted 3 votes to 1

In her interview, Brandi says to Julie she was expecting it to be her that went. Brandi says this show won't affect her friendship with Ross outside of the house won't be affected, she can't stay mad at Ross for long and also that he bribed her with free alcohol for as long as they are friends which draws laughter from the audience. Out of Real Housewives and Big Brother, she says Big Brother is more cut-throat. She didn't expect to make the relationships she did in the house, and she made a lot of friends so she wins. She admits she is wasn't very strategic.

Julie plays the goodbye messages for Brandi, including James saying he didn't enjoy the time he spent with her and glad she is gone

In closing in a segment earlier in the show, Julie says to Brandi to say something bad about her in a joking way

Next up, we begin the road to seeing who is next to go tonight and it's a memory competition called 'BB Auction' and it's TRUE or FALSE

Mark as outgoing HoH is not eligible to play

1. Less than half the pieces of art were labelled as sold

Answer - TRUE

Everyone except Ari score a point

2. There was a star on the front of the hat on Ross in Ship Shape

Answer - FALSE

And again, everyone except Ari score a point

3. James's nutrition plan was sold for $3,203

Answer - FALSE

Ross and James are tied at 3 points, Omarosa and Marissa have 2 and Ari moves to 1 

4. One of the headbands in Marissa's Fashion Passion had 10 flowers on it

Answer - FALSE

Three way tie between Omarosa, James and Ross on 3 points, Marissa has 2 and Ari has 1

5. There was one open tube of lipstick in Ariadna's beauty buffet

Answer - TRUE

Tie between James and Omarosa on 4, Marissa has 3 and Ari has 2

6. The inhaler shown in Breath of Omarosa was Blue

Answer - FALSE

Everyone got it right

7. Final question, on Mark's Fab Vocab, the letter S was pictured onto a blue crystal

Answer - TRUE

Tie for first place between James and Omarosa, so tie breaker time between James and Omarosa

The person who comes closest to the exact figure will win, or if both go over the closest to the exact number wins

In the awards season competition, how long in seconds did it take from start to finish

James answers 5,402 seconds
Omarosa answers 1,200 seconds

Omarosa is the new HoH, but just temporarily for this second eviction 

Julie calls a break to allow Omarosa to decide who she wants to put on the block 

Omarosa nominates ROSS and MARISSA

Julie plugs the Veto competition, finale and America's Favourite Houseguest and calls a break

Casting for the civilian summer series is then plugged

Back from the break, and we move onto the Veto competition and everyone is playing as there is only 6 left following Brandi's departure

The Veto competition is called Artrageous and here is how it goes:

In front of the memory wall are 6 paintings, and each painting has a replica in designated rooms....One of them doesn't match and the house guests have to find it and lock it in at any podium they wish that they are standing in front of right now. If they guess wrongly they are automatically eliminated from the competition, and whoever gets it right will win Power of Veto

Not a very long competition as Ross correctly guesses painting number 4, and wins Power of Veto

Julie calls a break to allow Ross to strategise

To no surprise, Ross uses the Veto on himself and Omarosa puts James on the block next to Marissa and we move to the second vote of the night

Omarosa and the 2 nominees are not allowed to vote

Ari votes to evict James
Mark votes to evict Marissa
Ross votes to evict James

James is evicted 2 votes to 1

James takes his time leaving and Julie asks him to hurry up

James admits he was surprised Omarosa put him on the block, and thinks Ari should have been on the block. Julie asks him where he went wrong, and James says not making a deal with Omarosa. He thought Omarosa would be out next. Julie talks about the feud between James and Brandi in the house. He says he would not date Brandi but would have a drink with her, and thinks Ross may win.

His final thought is that he beat Brandi

Julie goes back to the house and congratulates the final 5 of Ross, Ari, Marissa, Omarosa and Mark

Scenario for finale night is as follows:

  • Normal HoH, Veto and Eviction for 5th place
  • Final four for final HoH of this season
  • Winner of the final HoH gets to choose who joins him or her in the final 2, and the other 2 houseguests left will be evicted
Hope that makes sense to everyone who reads this :)

And so that wraps up the penultimate post for this particular season, as I won't be blogging the recap show and will be jumping straight to finale night and that post will be posted probably around Monday or Tuesday time

The plan for this blog going forward is that I WILL be doing posts for BB Canada and before that starts the blog will hopefully get a little makeover before launch day on March 7

That being said, as always thank you to everyone who reads these posts and it's full steam ahead to see who will be crowned

Follow me at @richiew4ever on Twitter if you like what you read, and every view, RT or Like for these posts is very much appreciated

Until we meet again after finale night, remember someone is always watching :)
