Over two weeks in, and "Celebrity Big Brother" has claimed the games so far of superfan Shannon Elizabeth, Keisha Knight Pulliam, and Chuck Liddell. With just over a week left already in the season and eight celebrities left in the game, the final week promises to be jam-packed and full of drama as the remaining celebrities battle it out for first place, and a $250,000 cash prize.
Shannon Elizabeth the most recent eviction
Shannon Elizabeth was evicted most recently, by a 5-1 vote. A superfan of the show, Shannon made herself a target the very first night, winning the first Head Of Household competition, following it up with a Power of Veto win. Following Shannon's eviction, host Julie Chen spoke to Entertainment Weekly about Shannon's gameplay. Chen commented that Shannon was "book smart but not street smart," likening her to "Valedictorian of the school of Big Brother, but not the best when it comes to her social game."
In the same interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chen went on to give her opinion on houseguest and former White House employee, Omarosa, stating how Omarosa "is a master at manipulating people and playing the social game." While in the "Big Brother" house, Omarosa has been spilling all the tea about her time in the White House and working with President Trump.
The most recent endurance Head of Household competition was broadcast on the live feeds after the live eviction episode, and live feeders saw Omarosa sit in her seat the longest and secure the role of Head of Household.
Omarosa's reign as HOH shook up dominating alliance
Ross Mathews, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Brandi Glanville and Ariadna Gutiérrez have been running the show up until now, Omarosa's reign as HOH has shaken up the dominating alliance, as she nominated Ross and Brandi for eviction.
In the midst of all the backstabbing and tears that have already taken place in the house, former NBA player, Metta World Peace, has provided the show with a much needed comedic tone. Irritated with the houseguests who would not let him leave the first week because he missed his wife, Metta has taken to wandering the house with a stuffed owl, and keeping live feeders entertained by talking to them and playing with the hot tub flamingos.
When Entertainment Weekly asked about Metta's mental health, julie chen replied that we shouldn't be worried and that, "Metta is awesome! He is on another planet, a good one though. I like him more and more everyday."
After over two weeks in the house, the celebrities have shown us that they are just as willing to play dirty, compete and win as any other group of houseguests. They have even been subject to the punishment of slop (with only eight days left, mind you), like regular houseguests have previously suffered.
The final six episodes will be airing on February 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 25. Not enough "Big Brother" for you? "Big Brother Canada" returns not long after the finale, on March 7.
