Celebrity Big Brother Day 19
February 18, 2018
10:00-11:00 AM: James told Mark they should think things over a bit today, because they need to decide what is better for their long term game. He said they can either have Omarosa as a friend, or have Ross as a friend. Mark said he thinks that Brandi needs to go. James said they would then lose Omarosa. James mentioned that he would like to trust Ross, but he isn’t sure if they can. Mark said they have Marissa and Ross. James argued that they will lose Omarosa if they don’t go along with her plan. Mark pointed out that Metta needs to be on board in order for the plan to work, and relying on him is a big risk.
11:00-12:00 PM: In the kitchen, Ross told James he thinks that Ari would vote for Brandi to stay over him. However, he said he thinks that she would leave the nominations the same if she were to win the veto. James told Ross he is fine if the nominations stay the same. Ross told James and Mark not to trust Omarosa. He said she will come to them with deals. Mark said he doesn’t trust her as far as he can throw her. James told Ross he isn’t sure where Marissa lies. Ross said the Brandi vote changed a lot.
12:00-1:00 PM: Ross let Marissa know that James is unsure of where she stands. He said James is likely to talk to her later. Ross said he thinks that James is asking for a Final 4 with them. Marissa said she will never say yes but she will never say no either. Marissa told Ross he has to say whatever he needs to to James and Mark right now to get their votes. When discussing the plan for next week, Marissa said she thought that James was going to be the next target. Ross said he trusts James more than some people in their group right now. Marissa said she trusts Ari. Ross said Ari is going to vote against him. Even if she does, Marissa said Ross cannot take that one personally. Marissa asked if Ross is thinking that she shouldn’t nominate James if she has the chance to. Ross suggested that either of them would beat James in the Final 2, which is something that Marissa disagrees with. Marissa said the only person that she can beat is Mark. That being said, Marissa said she would still choose Ross over Mark. She said the two people that she wouldn’t mind losing to are Ross and Ari. Ross said he would take Marissa to the end over Mark as well.
1:00-2:00 PM: Marissa told Ross she would use the veto on him even though she knows that he has the votes over Brandi. Marissa is worried that Ari would then go home in that scenario, but she said she would still have to take Ross down. Ross admitted that people should want him out. Marissa agreed that he is the next biggest threat in the game. Ross asked Marissa to tell people that he is not well liked with the jurors.
2:00-3:00 PM: In the gym, James told Mark they have to decide who the better partner would be moving forward. Mark said it’s easy for him. They discussed that it would be Ross as opposed to Omarosa. James said Brandi would still be there, and they would be down a guy, if they vote Ross out. If Brandi goes, James thinks that Omarosa will then become everyone’s next target. Mark said he thinks that getting rid of Brandi is the right move. He added that he trusts Ross more than he trusts Omarosa. They counted out the votes and concluded that they have the numbers to save Ross should they choose to do so. James wondered if they could approach Omarosa to tell her that they want to work together but they think that Brandi needs to go. Mark said it’s not even worth bringing it up. He doesn’t think that Omarosa would change her mind about wanting to target Ross. James then asked Mark if they should make a Final 4 deal with Ross and Marissa. Mark said he thinks so. He told James that they are stronger with four than with three. James said he doesn’t think that Marissa is capable of lying to them without being obvious about it. They later discussed that it may be best to hold off on talking to anyone, because they are worried that it might get used against them in order to get Omarosa to put them up.
4:00-5:00 PM: James and Mark approached Ross about making a Final 4 with him and Marissa. Ross said his answer is yes. Mark said they will be able to waltz into the finale. James said the only way that they have a fair shot at winning the game is if they go up against another guy. He said it makes more sense for the three of them to be the Final 3. Ross was asked if he has a Final 2 with Marissa. He said “on everything” that he does not. Ross later asked if James and Mark have one. James said they have never even had an alliance. They discussed that making this deal will ensure that Ross is safe.
5:00-6:00 PM: Ross told Marissa he wont have James and Mark’s votes if he doesn’t go with them. He said he will not have the votes to stay. Ross said their group with Ari and Brandi is going to break up. Ross told Marissa to make the deal that Ari is last to go. Ross said it can be Omarosa, Metta and Ari going in that order. Ross said he feels awful but it’s not a bad Final 4. He told Marissa not to do it if she doesn’t want to. Marissa then headed to the bedroom to speak to James. She said her problem is leaving Ari in the dust. James said it’s a game. James explained that doing this will ensure that Ross can stay in the game. James said Omarosa, Ari and Metta will have to go in that order, though they can discuss the last two. James said it really bothers him that no one has honoured an alliance. Marissa said she just has to process it all. James worried that meant she would go tell Ari. Marissa assured James that she will not. James said he doesn’t feel comfortable doing this until he gets a yes from her. Marissa said she gets it. After James left the room, Marissa said to herself that she is going to have to say yes, but then she wont do it. Marissa and Ross quickly spoke in the bathroom. Ross said his intention would be to stay true the Final 4 if they make the deal. Marissa said she feels as though she has no choice. Ross said she does. He told her she can continue to think about it.
6:00-7:00 PM: James and Mark discussed that Marissa is lucky to even be asked to be a part of their alliance. James thinks they should let Ross know that Marissa wont give a firm commitment, which they need in order to agree to this. Mark said they can say they will explore something else if not. James said the problem is the only other people they can try to get are Ari and Brandi, but they cannot beat either of them at the end. Mark agreed. Ross joined them. James said Marissa will not give them a yes. Ross said she needs a second. James said she needs to realize that she is playing a game and grow up a bit. James said they need to figure something else out if Marissa wont commit. Ross said she is sad because it’s the girls. James said he knows but he doesn’t care. Ross asked them to give Marissa an hour. James said this is the only thing that saves Ross this week. Ross asked if there is a way that it can work without Marissa getting on board. James said no. Ross told the guys that he is not coming after them no matter what happens. They explained that they need both Marissa and Ross on board or else it doesn’t benefit their games. James mentioned that they might have an easier time working with Ari. Ross said he will go let Marissa know he fears that they will go to Ari if she doesn’t agree to the deal. Marissa and Ross later talked things over again. Marissa said she will not put Ari up if she wins HoH. Ross said they can target Omarosa next. If they win the HoH the week after, he said things will have changed by then. Ross said he doesn’t want her to do anything she doesn’t want to do, but he is going home if they don’t agree to this deal. Marissa talked about how she has had a good relationship with James from the start. Ross said James wants to work with them even after they had flipped on him.
7:00-8:00 PM: Marissa told Ari, Brandi and Ross that Metta tried to escape last night. She said he tried to leave but the security door was locked. Brandi pointed out that they all helped Keshia leave when she wanted to go, so it’s not fair that they are making Metta walk out and lose his money.
8:00-9:00 PM: In the living room, Marissa said she thinks that they should let Metta go. Omarosa said maybe that’s the twist, that the veto winner can put someone up. Marissa said maybe across the board they can agree to put Metta up. Brandi said it’s not fair that Keshia got to go home but he doesn’t. Omarosa said Metta was the first person she went to after she won, and he said he didn’t want to go. Omarosa suggested that they ask him as a group before the veto competition, then they can agree that whoever gets it uses it to put him up if he wants to go. Marissa said she still wants to be there, so she doesn’t want to go home when she still wants to play. She added that it’s time for Metta to go if he doesn’t want to play. Omarosa again said they should do it as a group. Brandi said she feels bad for Metta. Ross said he was pushing the escape button last night. Brandi said she thinks part of him really wants to stay and part of him doesn’t. Marissa headed to the bedroom to talk to Ross. She mentioned putting up Metta. Ross said Omarosa is saying she would do it even though she wouldn’t. Marissa said she may if she says in front of everybody. Ross brought that James and Mark are holding them hostage, so they have to go along with the deal and do what they have to do. Marissa said she wont feel bad blindsiding them.
9:00-10:00 PM: In the storage room, Omarosa told Ari she has to start making deals. Ari said James is going to put her up. Omarosa encouraged Ari to find some votes and fight back. She said the problem is that people have a problem with Brandi, and they view Ari and Brandi as one. Omarosa suggested going to Metta in order to ask him to keep her safe if she goes up. Omarosa told Ari she has got to win the veto. Omarosa said she is putting Marissa up if she has to choose a replacement nominee. Omarosa asked who Brandi would want to go between Marissa and Ross. Ari said she will keep Ross in the house because she knows him from before. Omarosa said she wants to get Ross out since he has a deal with everybody, he helped flip the house, and he put her up.
11:00-12:00 AM: Omarosa again spoke to Ari, telling her that she has to figure something out since the house wants Brandi out. Omarosa pointed out that it will result in Ari being on her own. Omarosa said they could try to get Metta on their side, then it will be the three of them together. Omarosa stressed that they cannot let Metta leave. Afterwards, Ari spoke to Metta. She said she thinks the house wants Brandi to go. Metta said Omarosa wants Ross out. Ari said she loves them both, but she will be on her own if Brandi leaves. Omarosa joined them. She told Metta that if Brandi leaves, Ari and herself will be on their own and want to team up. When Omarosa said Ross, Mark and James will work together, Metta said they have to vote Ross out then. Omarosa agreed. She said she will be nominating Marissa if the veto is used. She added that they can get Brandi off of the block if one of them wins the veto. Omarosa said the others are going to try to talk Metta in to leave, but he cannot go. She said Metta is their only hope and he can easily beat them in the end. Ari mentioned that Brandi will be with them if she stays. Omarosa said it would then be 4 on 3 for them. Metta said he will be voting to evict Ross. Omarosa said the best case scenario would be that someone other than herself earns the power to nominate someone. She said she would like to see James go before Ross and Brandi. Metta said they needs to find a way to cheat at the veto comp without being disqualified. Omarosa clarified that they can try to find a way to work together if possible. She said she may have to throw it to one of them in order to allow them to nominate James.
12:00-1:00 AM: Ari told Marissa the problem is that Ross has a deal with James and Mark. Marissa said she doesn’t know if he has a deal. Ari said she has the four person deal with them as well. Marissa denied having a deal with them. Marissa went to Ross to let him know what Ari just said. Ross said Ari is just guessing. Ross told Marissa that all she needs to say is they will have Ari’s back for as long as they can. They then spoke to Ari. Ross admitted to asking for James’ and Mark’s votes. He said he doesn’t want Ari to think that means he is with them, because Ari will not be his target if he wins. She said those guys will nominate her. Ross said he has their ear, which is good for them. Ross mentioned that he can help ensure that Omarosa is the next target.
