Celebrity Big Brother 2: HoH and Nomination Results

So, last night, we all saw Ryan get backdoored and sent out of the house. With Ryan and Jonathan now both gone, Kato and Tom would appear to be the current power alliance in the house. Everyone who they want to leave, leaves. Every time that they need to win a comp — HoH, veto — they do. Tom and Kato are coming on strong, perhaps a little bit too strong. With each victory, the targets on their backs gets a little bit bigger.

That string of victories continued after Ryan’s exit, with Tom winning HoH. At first, both Tom and Kato seemed to be pretty intent on backdooring Ricky in the next eviction but then, both of them started to get paranoid about Natalie and LoLo conspiring against them. To be honest, it was sometimes hard to keep track of what Tom and Kato were planning to do. Tom has a tendency to analyze things to death and Kato tends to be a little bit flighty when it comes to strategizing.

While Tom and Kato were trying to decide what to do with Tom’s hoh, the viewers were voting for who would win the Power of Publicist. The Power of Publicist gives a houseguest the power to take themselves off the block. It’s good for two weeks and can only be used once. Now, we still don’t know for sure who won the power. We do know that the houseguests know that one of them has been awarded a special power.

From listening to the conversations today, it seems obvious that neither Tom nor Kato got the power. However, Tom is very paranoid about the power and, once he found out that someone had it, he decided to use his nominations to try to “flush out” the power.

For that reason, Tom nominated Joey and Kandi for eviction. When he nominated them, he told them that he suspected that they might have the power and that he was trying to get them to use it. Interestingly enough, Tamar was pretty calm today, up until Tom said he was trying to flush out the power. She’s now upset that he said that, which leads me to suspect that she probably won the Power of Publicist.

So, what happens if either Joey or Kandi is saved by the veto? It’s hard to say. Ricky has been hanging out with Tom and Kato and he may have changed their minds about backdooring him. If they attempt to backdoor Tamar, she would have to use her power to come off the block. If that happened, I imagine Tom would probably just nominate Dina.

Tom and Kato have been discussing a plan in which they go up to everyone in the House and promise them safety if they tell the truth about having the power. To be honest, that’s the type of power play that I could see backfiring on them.

So, right now, it appears that anything could happen in the house. But, as of right now, your nominees for eviction are Joey and Kandi, with the veto comp set for tomorrow.
