With only 5 houseguests remaining, Todrick decided to nominate Lamar Odom and Todd Bridges to the block for eviction this round.
The only other remaining celebrities are Todrick’s ride-or-die Meisha Tate and Lamar and Todd’s ally, Cynthia Bailey. The Power of Veto in this round will be critical for the end game of Celebrity Big Brother 3. As it stands now, the house is divided into 2 (Todrick and Meisha) against 3 (Cynthia, Todd, and Lamar). This POV will determine if the house is equally split with power or if it’s lopsided going into tonight’s double eviction episode.
Todrick knows that Todd is the newest threat in the Big Brother house. He and Meisha know that Todd needs to go before he wins any other competitions. Todrick and Meisha feel like the end of the road is in sight.
On the other side of the Big Brother house, Todd shares with Cynthia and Lamar that he is upset that he wasn’t advised about being put up on the block beforehand. He feels betrayed because he has played with Todrick and Meisha the entire game. He was very loyal to them, and they did not return the favor.
Lamar is very upset that Todrick is not acting as a gracious winner. He is prancing through the Big Brother house singing the song he made up for the block nomination ceremony. Todd and Lamar plan to teach him a lesson in the POV competition later.
This competition is called Celebrity Luge, and here is how it works. Two players will face off against one another in each round riding their luge down the slope. They will be given a different time in each round, and the player closest to that time will win. The winning player will pick the next two players to face off against one another. The last player standing wins the golden Power of Veto.
In the first round, Meisha beat Cynthia. She picked Todd and Todrick in the next round, and Todd won. Next, Todd chose Meisha and Lamar and Meisha won. The final round will be Todd and Meisha against one another. Todd won the veto competition.
Todd is thrilled he has accomplished achieving some revenge on Todrick and Meisha for putting him on the block. Todd will use the veto to take himself off the block leaving only Cynthia to go up in his place. This is a worst-case scenario for Meisha and Todrick.
At the POV ceremony, Todd used the power to take himself off the block. Todrick placed Cynthia on the block as the replacement nominee.
At the live vote, either Lamar or Cynthia will be evicted. The votes were as follows:
Todd voted to evict Cynthia
Meisha voted to evict Lamar
Due to the tie vote, Todrick cast his vote to break the tie. Todrick voted for Lamar. During his exit interview with Julie Chen Moonves, Lamar said he was a bigger threat going into the final rounds of Big Brother. Lamar also shared that Todd will be his new sober living coach as Todd has been sober for 33 years. Congrats to Lamar for his sobriety and for being a part of Big Brother.
This competition is called BB Flicks Film Festival, and here is how it works. In each round, the players will hear a recording of friends talking about what type of movie they want to watch tonight. The players must pick which movie satisfies all their friends. There will be 7 rounds. The player with the most points after 7 rounds wins HOH.
There was a three-way tie between all three remaining houseguests going into the final round. Whichever houseguest answers this last question first wins the HOH and is guaranteed into the final 3. Meisha answered the last question correctly first and won HOH.
Meisha nominated Todd and Cynthia to the block for eviction. Todd is most likely the target for eviction so he needs to win the last POV of the season to save his Big Brother game.
Consider this your reminder that Nikki Bella is a Total badass. Ahead of the Feb. 21 premiere of her new reality competition series America's Got Talent: Extreme, the Total Bellas...Well, my darling Saints. We’ve reached the end of the road on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. There’s simply no denying it’s been one of the most iconic seasons in modern Housewives herstory. On par with the sophomore outings of RHOBH or RHONJ, but in a post-Bethenny Frankel, Potomac and Dallas world. As a native Utahn, I couldn’t be more proud of what my girls added to the Bravo universe this year — from “Baby Gorgeous” and “Who’s calling who a fraud? Love you baby, bye!” all the way to, of course, Homeland Security swarming the Beauty Lab + Laser parking lot. Which, for the record, has officially become hallowed ground — a RHOSLC historical site, if you will — for any Bravoholic passing through Salt Lake City.
All of that’s to say that, unfortunately, I found the finale to be a bit of a letdown. Maybe it’s just because so much has already happened this season. How could one last party live up to an FBI sting or literally anything that happened on the cast trip to Zion? And maybe it’s the fact that most of the ‘Wives have to spend the hour wrapping up their personal storylines. Plus, we’re going into the finale knowing that it’s the last time Mary Cosby will be screens…
While Lisa Barlow is busy planning her Vida party, Jen Shah is finally forced to face the music. At least when it comes to downsizing the Shah Chalet 2.0, anyway. Never fear, she’s still plenty delusional about everything else going on in her life. Case in point: she’s choosing to move in the most expensive way possible. Instead of doing all the work herself (gasp!), she’s paying a moving company $10,000 t0 pack up most of her house and move everything into another rented chalet half the size of her current one. The only thing she’s in charge of is her closet. With help from her assistant — who spends part of the episode wearing a #FreeJenShah shirt — of course.
Heather Gay is putting a bow on her Season 2 storyline by throwing a celebration of life for her late father. Which brings to the surface everything about her faith crisis because there’s no way to memorialize her dad without acknowledging how his Mormonism anchored his entire life. Some fans have complained about Heather’s focus on putting Mormonism behind her all season, but as someone who’s gone through the process after growing up in the Church, watching the Housewife’s experience play out on camera has meant more to me than I think even Andy Cohen could realize. I feel for Heather when it comes to her estrangement for her family. Though on the other hand, I think some her family’s refusal to attend her memorial — particularly her mother — may come from a desire not to appear on camera. Either way, though, it leaves Heather feeling isolated and rejected.
Meredith Marks‘ focus is on two things: her brand and her family. And she’s combined the two by organizing a photoshoot for Meredith Marks Jewelry and partnering with GLAAD. She’s wrangled her family and all the models into matching satin suits to show off the bling. And honestly, the only thing I could think of while watching Brooks Marks and Chloe Marks emit, ahem, non-sibling chemistry while smizing for the camera was Lisa‘s hot mic moment. “Her and her dumb f–king family that poses,” anyone? The overall moment is more heartwarming though, when Meredith brings everything back to Brooks. Because ultimately, she’s doing all of this to show she supports him in his journey. Even if Jen apparently outed him last season. LGBTQ+ rights? She’s definitely engaging.
Uh…the less said about Whitney Rose‘s cringey “love paint” bedroom scene, the better.
It’s time for Lisa‘s Vida launch party. And she’s turned her venue into a mall food court straight out of the late ’80s/early ’90s. Because if there’s one thing we all know about the Barlegend, it’s that she loves fast food AND fine dining! It’s kind of a genius theme, to be honest. And I’m sure Mary will be chafing at the lack of nutrients in the food. Lisa also hates a costume party, so she’s instructed the partygoers to wear their best elevated ’90s looks without tipping over into Madonna’s Blond Ambition Tour territory. However, as all the ‘Wives arrive, everyone starts to wonder: will Meredith even show up to this party? Of course, she’s the last to arrive and the tension between her and the other ladies gets swept under the rug in favor of Seth Marks‘ vintage Reagan/Bush campaign t-shirt.
At the party, there are a few conflicts that need to be wrapped up before we can reopen them at the reunion. First being Whitney‘s season-long feud with Mary. Though it takes Whitney begging her former friend to come talk to initiate a conversation. Between shading Vida for being bland and putting minimal effort into her outfit, it’s clear from the moment she walks in that Mary doesn’t want to be here. She also doesn’t want to spend time talking in circles with a drunk Whitney. Or even acknowledge Jennie Nguyen, whom she gives the cold shoulder and stares right through. Whitney tries to apologize for talking about Mary’s church. Making the valid point that she never would’ve gone there if Mary hadn’t turned on her in the first place. But the argument gets completely derailed by Jennie butting in and looking for any excuse to start a fight with Mary.
You can practically see the wheels turning in Jennie‘s head as she does her best to create a “moment” at the finale party. The only problem? Mary refuses to play into her hysteria. So no matter how angry the newbie gets, Mary simply removes herself from the fight and walks away. So Jennie does the only thing she can think of and throws her glass at Mary’s retreating figure. The latter is dumbfounded by this act of aggression. Jen, meanwhile, thinks it’s cute that Jennie’s trying to copy her move from last season’s hip-hop party. Throwing glasses over Mary M. Cosby is so last season, darling. But Mary’s even more perturbed that not a single one of her cast mates steps in to defend her. Not even her bestie Meredith. So she’s out.
Does anyone even notice Mary leave the party? Because the engine of drama simply changes course and keeps going without her. Dismissing the fact that Jennie just chucked a glass across her party, Lisa tries to rally the girls for a toast to their friendship. But that simply gives Jen the opening she’s been waiting for to question Meredith once again about why they can’t be friends. Meredith reiterates the same thing she’s been saying all season: no one in the history of the world has ever been hurt more than she and her family were by Jen attacking Brooks. So no, she’s not going to be Jen’s friend. The best she can give is neutrality. And weirdly, her reasoning doesn’t even have anything to do with a federal indictment or calling the FBI.
But that’s not good enough for Jen. And as she presses the issue, somehow we get back to the rumors about the Marks’ marriage from last season. To be honest, I’m not even sure how it happens. But Meredith sees red, and threatens to expose everything she knows about some of the other women’s alleged extramarital affairs. Because, yes, she has people sending her dirt on the rest of the ‘Wives. And with that final threat, she storms out of the party hand in hand with Seth.
As the final “Where Are They Now?” cards flash across screen, the finale ends on a deflated note. Meredith doesn’t follow through on her threat. Mary‘s wandering the parking lot in search of her car. And Jennie doesn’t even get a title card. Did Heather say a single word at this party? Hopefully the girls will kick it back into gear when the three-part reunion starts next week!

Chung-chung. There are many takes on the spelling of the signature noise that accompanies the jump from scene to scene in an episode of Law & Order. Original series star Dann Florek,...
Every day when you're walking down the street, do you stop and wonder: How many people voiced Arthur Read? Well, so do we! The final four episodes of PBS' beloved children show...If you love you some Todrick Hall, then you had to love this weekend’s two episodes of Celebrity Big Brother. Saturday’s episode was essentially a “never-before-seen-footage” episode where the remaining five houseguests, Todrick, Lamar Odom, Miesha Tate, Todd Bridges and Cynthia Bailey, toasted champagne and took a look back at moments from this season that were never aired. Then on Sunday, the game moved forward, with the latest HOH competition that saw Todrick win (his first overall comp win of the season), with Todd and Lamar ending up on the block.
Saturday’s episode had a lot of funny moments, but also showed some of the fights that we never got to see. The most notable was between Todrick and Chris Kirkpatrick, which ended with Todrick telling Chris that his son was probably not too proud of his dad’s actions in the game, a comment that hit Chris below the belt. It also featured Lamar – Lamar of all people! – telling Todrick that he is not well-liked enough to win the game at the end, especially up against Miesha. Hey look, Lamar is a lot of things but lying isn’t his strong suit. He told Todrick the truth and that’s probably the reality of the rest of this week as we march towards the Finale coming this Wednesday night.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Todrick‘s one-of-a-king HOH Ceremony, which featured him in elaborate makeup and wardrobe, and featured some singing and lots of laughs from the rest of the house. It was pure Todrick, and I was totally there for it.
Sunday’s episode also featured a lot of chatter about Todd Bridges coming on as a late threat, and as hard to believe as it may sound, they’re absolutely right. Todd is now playing the game (where was he the first two weeks?). He recently won an HOH comp and should he make it to the end, he’s a likable guy who will most likely be sitting next to someone with blood on their hands. Make no mistake, this celebrity jury WILL be bitter, so you better believe that Todd can win this thing!
That is, if he can make it through, which increasingly seems unlikely. Todd is now up on the block against Lamar, and is the main target of Todrick. If Todd doesn’t win POV, he’s all but gone, because even if Cynthia votes for Lamar, Miesha won’t, and the resulting tie will allow Todrick to finish the job. Should Todd miraculously win POV, then Cynthia is likely out in his place under the same scenario.
That leaves Todrick and Miesha as the power couple entering into a Monday night Double Eviction Episode. Todd/Cynthia will likely go first and then short of Cynthia winning HOH, either her or Lamar is next. There’s a very unlikely scenario where Cynthia wins, puts up both Todrick and Miesha, and then the noms stay the same…if this happens then Lamar (!!!) would cast the single vote and would likely vote out Miesha over Todrick. This is the only real scenario where Todrick has a shot to win, if he were to make it to the end against Lamar (as bitter as the jury is, would they really vote Lamar their season’s winner over Todrick?) Cynthia wins the game if she sits next to Lamar or Todrick, but she will literally have to win her way to the end, which is not likely. All of this is fun to explore, but let’s face it: Miesha all but has this thing locked up and it’s just a matter of time.
Speaking of time, my how it flies by! We’re down to two episodes left, Monday night’s Double Eviction Episode followed by Wednesday’s Finale. We will soon find out who will win Celebrity Big Brother 3!
Here’s the upcoming Celebrity Big Brother Episode Schedule:
Final Week
Monday, Feb. 21 – 9-11 PM (live two-hour episode and Double Eviction)
Wednesday, Feb. 23 – 8-9 PM (Finale and reveal of “America’s Favorite Houseguest”)
