Celebrity Big Brother 2 Day 18 - Joey is evicted; Tamar wins HoH
February 2, 2019
10:00-11:00 AM: Natalie asked her roommates if they are on the same page for tonight’s vote. Lolo said she is. The camera then turned to Tamar who ended up saying that they will have to talk about it. Up in the HoH room, Tom told Kato he thinks that everyone is getting a talk this morning about how this is supposed to be fun, and there shouldn’t be personal attacks or intimidation. Kato asked if the diary room session was for the show or something else. Tom said it was for the show but he also had about a 20 minute talk with Allison Grodner. Feeds then cut.
11:00-12:00 PM: In the bathroom, Tamar told Joey she isn’t sure if Kato and Tom are the only bad people. She explained that Lolo might be as well. Tamar questioned why Lolo would hold onto the information she had. Feeds then cut. When they came back, Tamar said she wonders what they will do about Kato referring to the incident that took place last night due to his remarks. Joey said he isn’t sure. Tamar said it was major. Joey agreed, adding that it cannot be accepted. Back in the HoH room, Tom told Kato that they will have to convince Dina, Kandi and Tamar to nominate Lolo and Ricky if they win HoH. Kato thinks that it will be possible to do so. In the bedroom, Natalie asked Tamar how she is feeling about her vote. Tamar said she is all over the place right now but she is leaning towards Joey. Tamar added that she doesn’t think Tom will pick Kandi over Joey anyway. Ricky pointed out that Kandi is talking to Kato and Tom while Joey is not. Tamar asked if they fear Kandi will go to that side. Lolo said they fear that she wont be able to do anything in competitions. Ricky added that it would give all of the power back to Kato and Tom if Kandi stays. Tamar said she has to work on Kandi to make her more comfortable with the idea that this is a game, and have her understand why she’s making the move that she is, as their relationship outside of the house is a big deal to her.
12:00-1:00 PM: Tom spoke to Kandi in hope of getting her to pass a message on to Tamar. He said he wants to be sure that they see the next move. Tom thinks they need to get on the same page in terms of nominating Lolo and Ricky if they win HoH. Tom said Kandi, Kato, Tamar and himself can align. Kandi said she will pass the message on to Tamar but she doesn’t know that Tamar will necessarily do what they want. Tom pointed out that he and Kato have won more competitions that everyone else, so they can get people out of there quickly. Tom then spoke to Dina to make a similar pitch. Dina wasn’t convinced that Tamar will vote to keep Kandi. Dina brought up that she has been told a lot of things about Kato, though Dina doesn’t believe much of it. Dina also said she doesn’t think that Kato is a racist, or that he meant what he said in that way.
5:00-6:00 PM: The live eviction episode took place. Joey was evicted by a unanimous vote of 6-0.
8:00-9:00 PM: Feeds returned at 8:24 following the HoH competition. Tamar is the new HoH. Everyone but Kato and Tom were in the bedroom together as Tamar celebrated. Ricky said the nomination ceremony is about to be lit. He mentioned that either Kato or Tom will be gone even if their side doesn’t win the veto. Tamar said those two counted out every person in the room, and already had evicted them all in their heads.
9:00-10:00 PM: Kato told Tom that they will be making speeches since they are both going to be nominated tomorrow. Tom said he is actually still kind of enjoying himself. While Tom admitted that it would have been amazing had Kato won, he said that almost would have been too predictable. Kato said he accepts that Tamar won but the celebration made him kind of mad. Tom thinks the others have made themselves believe that he and Kato are bad people. Tom said Tamar’s best move would be to nominate Lolo and Ricky. Tom mentioned that they have all morning tomorrow to make sure Kandi gets in Tamar’s ear about aligning with them. Kato didn’t think it would be worth it to talk to Tamar. He said they will end up on the block anyway. The guys then talked about meeting up for a beer next weekend after they both have been evicted. After Tamar got out of the diary room, she told Lolo, Natalie and Ricky that she is thinking she will put Kato and Tom on the block next to each other so that they can’t save one another. The others agreed that it’s the move to make. Tamar said she is a bit nervous that she cannot compete in the next HoH competition. Lolo, Natalie and Ricky reassured Tamar that they will have her back.
10:00-11:00 PM: Ricky pointed out that if all goes according to plan, he will be the only guy left. Lolo joked that he doesn’t need to worry since they don’t have an all girl alliance. Ricky mentioned that it could end up all girls or all minorities. Ricky thinks that Tom will be done for if Kato is out of the house. Upstairs, Tom told Dina and Kandi that he sort of feels bad for everybody since they will look petty. Kandi said everyone has been acting crazy. Right after, Ricky headed upstairs to give Tom a fist bump. Tom thanked him. Ricky then went back downstairs. Tamar hugged him and told him that she is proud of him. Ricky said he thinks that it would be appropriate and make it easier if Kato and Tom were to apologize to the whole house. Tamar agreed. Ricky asked if Tamar would talk to them about that. Tamar said she doesn’t have a problem with it. Ricky said he would then be cool with lifting weights and playing pool with them. Ricky told Lolo the same thing. He said they should build on the positive momentum and work on getting past the past.
11:00-12:00 AM: Once Kato got out of the diary room, Tom caught him up on what had happened while he was away. Some of it was not shown on the feeds. Tom told Kato about his fist bump with Ricky. He then said Tamar asked him if he is going to apologize to his friends since they thought that he was bullying them. Tom thinks Ricky and Tamar know which buttons to push, and they have manipulated Lolo and Natalie into saying that they were being bullies. Tom said he doesn’t particularly want to be there anymore. He mentioned that i’s so manipulative and they are being accused of something that didn’t happen. In the kitchen, Kandi and Ricky had a brief disagreement. Kandi said she is there because of Tamar, not Ricky. Ricky agreed. Kandi then said that she would be out if Ricky had his way. Tamar let Kandi know that that’s not necessarily true. Kandi asked if Ricky was trying to get Tamar to vote her out. Tamar said that’s not totally true either. Ricky explained that his point was you don’t get a 6-0 vote without conversations. Afterwards, Tamar told Lolo and Ricky that she will not allow Kandi to be the way that she is acting. Tamar suggested that Kandi is a little bit humiliated by the fact that she won and Kandi didn’t. Ricky said that’s why Kandi was trying to help Kato. Lolo asked why Tamar convinced them to keep Kandi then. Tamar claimed she didn’t know that Kandi had that spirit. Afterwards, Tamar spoke to Kandi. Tamar said Kandi has got to remain calm. Kandi said Ricky is trying to play mind games with people, and he needs to stop acting like he saved her when it was 6-0. Tamar said they know that. Kandi told Tamar that she was trying not to entertain it but he kept pushing her.
