After a jam-packed episode of Celebrity Big Brother that included a live Power of Veto (POV) competition and eviction, the houseguests took part in another Head of Household (HOH) challenge. Live feed spoilers revealed who was crowned the new HOH and also captured Marissa venting about Omarosa and a confrontation before the competition took place.
At about 10:53 p.m. CBB US house time, Mark McGrath could be seen on live feeds wearing the HOH room key around his neck as the houseguests congregated in the kitchen area, according to Big Brother fan site Joker’s Updates . All of the cast mates seemed in good spirits and pleased they could relax and lounge about for the rest of the evening.
The HOH challenge itself may have been a grueling one, however, since the BB Celeb live feeds were dark for almost four hours. In addition, James Maslow could be heard saying something to Ariadna Gutierrez about using ice to alleviate an ache or injury.
Minutes later, however, Marissa Jaret Winokur and her closest ally in the Big Brother: Celebrity Edition game, Ross Mathews, walked to the storage room for a private conversation. Ross had been up for eviction Monday night along with Brandi Glanville, however, Ross won the POV and removed himself from the chopping block. The replacement nominee was Metta World Peace, who begged houseguests to send him home, so they obliged his request and voted him out of the game.

On Celebrity Big Brother live feeds, at about 10:55 p.m. Marissa could be heard telling Ross that Omarosa informed her that Mark and James were going to save Ross even if he hadn’t won the POV. She further said Omarosa claimed that Marissa’s allies, Ariadna and Brandi, wanted to evict Marissa by making her the replacement nominee had Metta not insisted on going home.
As Ross listened intently, Marissa told him Omarosa alleged she was adamant she wanted Marissa to stay, but the whole house was set on booting Marissa from the CBB US house.

Marissa said when Brandi heard this she began to chant “fake news” regarding Omarosa’s claim, while Ariadna became visibly upset. She told Ross she tried to shut Omarosa down by saying she didn’t want to talk about the situation because they needed to get ready for the HOH challenge.

Marissa said at that point, Omarosa shouted at her yelling, “No! You made me talk about the game all day!” She said Omarosa continued to insist they discuss gameplay so Marissa finally gave in. Marissa told Ross that Omarosa began talking nonsense, presumably to throw Marissa off her game.
Ross told Marissa he believes the other side of the Celebrity Big Brother house is “pushing to put up Ariadna and Brandi,” but he has been “pushing for Omarosa” to be nominated for eviction.
