Hes already on the block, she tells the diary room....

Its time forCelebrity Big Brothersfirst two-hour gauntlet, which culminates in the first celebrity being evicted. That seems like a surprising lack of self-awareness on his part. He came into the house guns blazing. Credit: Cliff Lipson/CBS And in what is no surprise, the womens alliance is dead-set on James going home first. But can the womens alliance last? The first major sub-alliance is Keshia and Omarosa Manigault with their Black Girl Magic alliance, which is awesome....

The houseguests, dressed in Blindsiders jerseys, sit perched on narrow basketball court seats....

This is your Wednesday episode where everything happens until someone is eliminated. If youre like me, youre probably asking, Huh, why did Metta go last two days ago? Well, its pretty much because he missed his wife, so Omarosa cut him loose. Credit: Bill Inoshita/CBS The whole thing feels strange because when has Omarosa ever been amenable? When they talk about team names, were reminded that James is definitely in his early 20s....
