Celebrity Big Brother Day 15 - James wins the Power of Veto

February 14, 2018

8:00-9:00 AM: Ross spoke to Shannon to clear the air with her. Ross clarified that he pushed for Omarosa and Metta to go on the block next to each other. He said he had no other choice but to get on board with what was happening. Shannon said it upsets her that people think she did something that she didn’t do. She explained that she wouldn’t be so upset if she actually did something. Shannon said the problem she has with Omarosa is that she is making up lies, which is a type of game that she doesn’t want to take part in.

9:00-10:00 AM: Marissa joined Ross and Shannon. She said she felt as though their Final 4 with James was never going to work because Shannon was saying to get rid of James. Marissa told Shannon that if she were watching the game, even she would agree that this move has to be made. Marissa mentioned she also is under the impression that James, Mark and Shannon have an alliance. Shannon questioned why she would do that when they clearly would take each other over her. Ross and Marissa assured Shannon that none of this is personal. Ross told Shannon that he divulged everything to her, yet she didn’t tell him everything until after the flip when Omarosa asked her to talk one on one. Shannon admitted she probably should have told them about the deal with Omarosa when they were talking about flipping, but she said she was so caught up in making the move that she didn’t even think about it while it was going down. Shannon said that her flipping was her knowing that it was over with Omarosa. After their talk wrapped up, James asked Marissa and Ross if they are all coming after him now. He said Omarosa just told him that. They denied it and said there is no way unless they are on the outs of something. Marissa said she hasn’t heard a peep about James being the target. Ross said that’s not true. He told James that there was a rumbling about it last night but he squashed it. Ross later told James that their Final 4 didn’t last because Shannon was saying they can get James out. James said he took the deal seriously, so he still wants to stick with Marissa and Ross moving forward. Elsewhere, Shannon told Brandi that Ross was the one saying they needed to make a Final 4 with James if they were going to keep him the first eviction.

10:00-11:00 AM: Shannon and Omarosa spoke. Shannon let her know that she was fighting the whole time for Keshia to go over Omarosa. Shannon said it was Keshia having conversations behind the group’s back, so she was doubting her the most. Omarosa asked if they can start fresh. Shannon said yes. Omarosa let Shannon know that they want her out. She said she still doesn’t want a boy to win. She encouraged Shannon to win the veto. Omarosa suggested that they think women and not let James win. Shannon said James has the boys on his side. Omarosa said he has Marissa and Ross as well. Omarosa said they will be kicking themselves if they let the men pick them off one by one. Shannon said the problem is she wont have the votes to stay if she doesn’t win the veto. Omarosa said she has a chance if she talks to Ari and Brandi, cause they are mad at Ross and Marissa right now. Omarosa said she will vote James out if the nominations stay the same. Shannon asked if Metta would vote her out. Omarosa said Metta will vote with her, Ari, and Brandi, because he was telling them last night that James needs to go. The two agreed to start fresh. They apologized to each other and hugged. Omarosa also let Shannon know that Marissa wanted to backdoor her. After the talk ended, Omarosa and Marissa spoke. Omarosa asked if she made a deal with Shannon. Marissa said no. Omarosa then told Marissa to keep Shannon away from her cause she is crazy. In the other room, Shannon told Brandi that she just spoke to Omarosa. She said Omarosa thinks that Marissa and Ross have a deal with James. Brandi said there must be something more going on, cause she doesn’t get why they would push so hard for Shannon to go. Brandi mentioned that Ross has a deal with every single person in the house. Shannon agreed. They talked about Omarosa still being about girl power. Shannon told Brandi that if she stays and gets HoH, she will nominate who they want her to. Brandi said it’s clear that Ross is the one pulling the strings. At that point, Shannon said that they could always nominate Ross if James win the veto. She also threw Mark’s name out there. In the back room, Ari, Brandi, Marissa, Omarosa, Ross and James then met up to clear up what Omarosa said to James. Omarosa called James out for twisting her words to make it seem as though she said that he was now being targeted. James denied twisting her words. James said Omarosa told him that everyone had switched. He did not want to discuss it any further. When James left, Omarosa continued to explain things. Ross told her it doesn’t matter, so he will believe it happened that way. Brandi said Omarosa ran to James to cover her ass. Omarosa said that’s not true. Omarosa said if they are going to gang up on her, she can run to the guys. She asked them to tell her straight up. Things eventually calmed down. Up in the HoH room, Brandi told Ari that Omarosa is looking out for herself, not for the girls. They discussed that Ross is panicking right now. Ari said Ross lost control as soon as he got power last week. Brandi thinks Ross told people that she and Ari are pulling the strings. However, they agreed that they have to trust Ross and Marissa. Ross joined them. They discussed that their ideal eviction order is Shannon, James, Omarosa and Mark.

12:00-1:00 PM: Up in the HoH room, Ross told Brandi that she can let James win the veto if Shannon has been eliminated, then there is no blood on her hands. Brandi brought up that the problem is James wants her and Ari out, where as Shannon wants Ross and Marissa out. Ross suggested that James would be just as mad at him. Brandi argued that James thinks Ross and Marissa are the ones saving him.

1:00-2:00 PM: Brandi spoke to Ari about potentially keeping Shannon. Ari said Shannon would go after them too. Brandi said Shannon knows that Ross is running things even though he is trying to convince her that it’s Brandi. Brandi said they are the only ones being loyal to their group. She added that Ross goes around making sure that he is friends with everyone. As for the two of them, Brandi said Shannon is smart enough to know that she and Ari are not going back and forth like Marissa and Ross are. Brandi said they have all of the information and are not doing anything with it. Marissa and Ross entered the room. Brandi questioned why they are keeping James. Ross said she and Ari came to him with the plan to get Shannon out. Brandi said Keshia leaving changed everything. Marissa said she is fine with voting either way. Ross insisted that Shannon is more dangerous. Brandi said it’s clear that Marissa and Ross have James’ ear. Ross said that’s because they told him to talk to James. Brandi worried that James would nominate her next to Ari. Marissa admitted that he probably would. The four eventually decided that they should bring James in to the alliance. They agreed they would still vote him out if Shannon wins veto, and would still target him moving forward if not. They said they can even tell him that they would target Omarosa if Shannon wins PoV, but not follow through. They eventually brought James in. Brandi told James that Omarosa was lying to him this morning. James said he didn’t believe her anyway. James made it clear that he is there to play the game and he is willing to work with Brandi and the group. Brandi promised that they would not put James up if they win. She said they would like to get Omarosa out.

2:00-3:00 PM: James asked Ari, Brandi, Marissa and Ross if they are willing to have someone else leave if Shannon wins the veto. Brandi said they can take Omarosa out but they would need a bigger deal from James. She wasn’t sure what exactly the deal would need to be at this point. Brandi later revealed that last week’s plan was to backdoor Shannon, and then put Omarosa and Metta up, but it didn’t work out since Keshia left. Marissa pointed out that James did not know that information until now. Ross said the target has always been Shannon. Brandi said they will prove themselves to James by getting rid of Omarosa if Shannon wins the veto. Brandi said James would then have to be willing to get Shannon out. James said he is willing to make that deal and even agree to a Final 5. Ross let James know that Shannon’s words were that they can get James out first after they flipped in the first week. After the meeting wrapped up, Metta checked in with everyone but James. Marissa and Ross told him that the plan is to vote Shannon out if nominations stay the same.

11:00-12:00 AM: Feeds returned following the veto competition. James won the Power of Veto. Shannon headed upstairs where Ari and Brandi were. Shannon mentioned that if there is anyone they hate more than her, she is there for them to use. Shannon mentioned that she will even be fine with throwing stuff once they no longer need her. When Ross entered the room, Shannon told him she is just bummed that she wont get to see Zingbot or play in OTEV, as that is her favourite competition. Before heading downstairs for dinner, Ari told Brandi they need to use Mark as a pawn. Brandi threw Omarosa’s name out there. Ari said Mark offered, though she then said she might nominate Omarosa. Brandi again said she thinks it should be Omarosa.

12:00-1:00 AM: Omarosa asked Metta if Shannon is okay. Metta said Shannon is better than the other day. He said Shannon asked if he can go home. Omarosa said she is always angling. Metta said he feels bad. Omarosa said she feels bad for her too, but she flipped the game when she let James stay. Metta said too many people made personal decisions in the game. Omarosa said that is why women seldomly win the game. Metta commented that Ross did well today. Omarosa said they are sleeping on him. They discussed that he performs well in the competitions. Omarosa said the others will find out how strong he is too late. As for James, they discussed that he is hungry, strong and smart. Omarosa told Metta not to let Shannon talk him in to leaving. Metta said he wanted to quit before but he is playing now.

1:00-2:00 AM: Metta, Marissa and Ross spoke up in the HoH room. Metta asked if they trust Shannon. Ross said no. Marissa said they cannot save her unless they send Omarosa home. Brandi joined them. Ross asked if she trusts Shannon. Brandi said she is desperate to stay. Ross said he doesn’t think you get another chance to get her out. Brandi said this is Shannon’s everything. Ari told everyone to focus. Ross said she had a fair shot and didn’t win the veto. Air told Brandi not to promise Shannon anything. Brandi said she didn’t. Everyone but Ari and Brandi left the room. Ari was frustrated that Brandi is changing her mind. Brandi insisted that she just feels bad for Shannon and it doesn’t meant that she is going to keep her. Ari said Shannon claiming she will throw things if she stays a couple more evictions is a lie. Elsewhere, Marissa asked what the plan for a double eviction would be. Ross said he would nominate Omarosa or Mark next to James. They both agreed that they wouldn’t mind Omarosa going before James, though Ross said she isn’t a threat. Back up in the HoH room, Ari asked Brandi who the replacement nominee should bee. Brandi said Mark. Ari figured that Mark going up would give them the best shot at getting Shannon out. She added that Mark offered. Brandi said to do that then.

2:00-3:00 AM: Metta told Shannon he really hopes it works out for her. Shannon said she will do what she can. Shannon said she will get to work tomorrow to see what she can do. Metta said he is in as long as the others believe that Shannon can help them. Shannon said she doesn’t want it to seem as though she is throwing Metta under the bus. Metta said he spoke to them already. Metta mentioned that Omarosa or Mark would be the only other people that could go if they trust Shannon. Metta said he would stay one more day in that case. Shannon said she let them know that she is willing to throw it down the line, cause she would like to stay that badly to experience more cool things that are yet to come.
