Celebrity Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 9 - HoH, Veto and Eviction 4

When we last left the houseguests, Joey was evicted 6-0

Outgoing HoH was Tom and Veto winner was Natalie. Trench warfare would be the most adequate terms to describe most of the alliances.

Tonight sees all the power in the house up for grabs as it's a 3 for the price of one episode, as in HoH, Veto AND the fourth eviction all in the same episode.

We pick up the action after Joey's eviction, and the 3 for the price of one episode is off and running. 

Tamar's Power of the Publicist is still active, but will expire if she doesn't use it in this episode. She can only use it on herself if she finds herself on the block whether it be via the nominations ceremony or veto meeting if the Veto is used and she is named as a replacement.

It would seem Tamar changed her mind very last minute about voting Kandi out, and then Natalie and Lolo followed suit. That thing called a target I would assume from Kandi, should Kandi win the next HoH. 

Not wasting any time with this episode, as there is so much to get through in this jam packed episode, so moving swiftly on to.....

HoH competition

As outgoing HoH, Tom is not eligible to play this competition. The name of this competition is called Picture Imperfect and here is how it works. Houseguests (except obviously Tom) will pair off in a series of rounds, and they will get shown various magazine covers and have a choice of A, B or C to which picture is wrong as in a visual error. This requires a sharp eye. No penalties in this one for not winning. Losing housemates are eliminated, while their opponent advances.

Order of play:

Tamar v Finky Ricky - Ricky eliminated
Kato v Kandi - Kandi eliminated
Lolo v Natalie - Natalie eliminated
Dina v Kato - Dina eliminated
Tamar v Lolo - Lolo eliminated
Kato v Tamar - Kato

Winner and new HoH - TAMAR

Downside is Tamar cannot use her power, and it will expire

Nominations ceremony

Tamar nominates Kato and Tom, explaining that this wasn't personal and was just gameplay as she sees them as the bigger threats. She also confides in Kandi and Dina, that she has plans for Lolo and Natalie as in putting one of them on the block, should Tom or Kato win Veto and use it to save themselves.

Veto picks and competition

Joining Tamar, Kato and Tom in the Veto competition will be Lolo, Kandi and Dina as determined by random draw. We and them are treated to a performance courtesy of the comedian known as Gallagher. Julie tells them to to observe this performance closely, most likely due to a incoming memory test on how much they remember.

And as expected, out in the backyard it's the setup for a True or False questions. One point for each correct answer and the houseguest who is the highest scorer will win the Power of Veto. Again, no penalties for finishing last. It will be 7 questions, and if there is a tie then there will be a tiebreaker.

Scores after the 7 questions:

Kato - 5
Tom - 3
Tamar - 5
Lolo - 7
Dina - 4
Kandi - 5

The equally mad Lolo finally gets her first comp win, and will make her decision about using the Veto shortly. Julie reminds her to use the time to make her decision wisely.

Veto meeting

Lolo has made her decision, and to no shock she decides NOT to use the Veto so Tom or Kato will definitely be leaving shortly. Julie also announces the Power of the Publicist has now expired, but she does not mention that Tamar was the holder of the power. Due to an executive decision, she says she is not allowed to announce the Superbowl result, but will tell whoever comes out next.

Eviction vote

Nominees nor Tamar as HoH are not allowed to vote

Off we go....

Another landslide vote as everyone who is allowed to vote chooses to evict Kato

Evictee - Kato by a vote of 5-0

Kato admits in not so many words that he was not expecting to go tonight by a huge margin, and thought Tom was effectively out the door. He goes on to say how his alliance with Lolo was formed, despite his misgivings about her betraying Jonathan and Ryan.

To be continued in episode 10, when the next HoH is crowned and we see their nominations. Julie also plugs Episode 11 in which there will be a double eviction, and it's a two hour show.

Final thoughts

So the ladies reign supreme as we get ever closer to the finishing line, and the men are down to two in Finky Ricky and Tom. Still think a lady is going to win this series. Just looking at the contenders now, two mad women in Lolo and Tamar, fame hungry Natalie, Kandi's just faded into the background a little and Dina's just floating along doing nothing.

For laughs, it would be very amusing to see a Lolo v Tamar final 2...Forget One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, this has been Two Flew into the Big Brother House.

Competition wise, Natalie v Lolo....Just can't warm to Natalie, just my personal opinion she doesn't care who she treads on to get a few more rungs up that fame ladder. As said before she never really respected the WWE business.

Kandi v Dina.....Zzzzzzz 'nuff said

Tamar v anybody....Like her or not, Tamar has brought some much needed energy to this house even if she is as mad as they come. I wouldn't be upset if she won, but she does overdo it on occasions which is a bit of a bummer, and would probably fly into orbit if she is named winner.

As for the two men left, at least one of them out before the finale I reckon. Finky Ricky has lived up to his name, and just can't be trusted and will fall at the last hurdle

At this moment, I am going to go for Tom v Lolo as final two, but that is subject to change
