Celebrity Big Brother 2: About Tonight’s Show

To be honest, only one thing took me by surprise tonight. I wasn’t really expecting it to be an eviction episode. I knew they were going to be playing for the veto but I didn’t find out, until right before the episode started, that they would also be evicting a second houseguest. What can I say? Celebrity Big Brother moves quickly!

Anyway, if you watched tonight’s episode, you already know what happened. The veto comp was won by Tom. Tom used the veto on Dina. Kato nominated Ryan in Dina’s place. By a vote of 6-1, Ryan was voted out of the house. Only Joey voted to keep Ryan. For his part, Ryan seemed to take it all in stride and he didn’t seem to be too upset about it. Of course, he’s got the 2020 Olympics to look forward to.

(I did laugh a little when Julie asked Ryan if there would be any awkwardness between him and LoLo at the Olympic village. I imagine both of them are going to be too focused on winning that gold to remain upset over a reality show.)

While Ryan took being backdoored fairly well, the same cannot be said of Joey. Joey was upset when it happened and he’s still upset now. He told LoLo that he understand that it’s just a game but that he can’t stand the “disingenuousness” of it all. Joey’s an odd one. On the one hand, he keeps insisting that he’s not interested in doing anything that you have to do to actually win Big Brother. At the same time, he gets really upset if the game doesn’t go the way that he wants it to.

For his part, Joey does finally seem to realize that he needs an alliance. When I last checked in with the House, he was talking to Tamar and saying that they need to partner up with Dina and Kandi for the good of their game. If Tom, Lolo, Ricky, or Natalie wins HoH, it seems to be guaranteed that Joey will be the target so, if Joey really wants to stay in the House, it’s time for him to stop complaining and actually fight hard in the next HoH comp.

(I assume that next HoH comp will be sometime later tonight. I’ll post the winner in the comments when I know for sure.)

Finally, there’s a new power up for grabs. It’s the Power of Publicist and it gives whoever wins it the power to take themselves off the block. It’s only good for two weeks and can only be used once, so it’s kind of like a limited immunity idol. The winner will be determined by who gets the most votes on twitter.

And now, we just wait to see who wins HoH!
