With a new HOH in a short season, when is the right time to make a move?
Happy Sunday,Big Brotherworld!
Like any other season, this one is brimming with gameplay that ranges from terrific to train wreck.

Lets get to it!
On the gameplay side, Ross is already trying to sort out his next move.
I like where Ross is going with this.
Even more impressive is the fact that Ross is looking at all his options.
Though he set up a four, he tells us he isnt set on it.
Hes open to a four with Ariadna, Brandi, and Marissa too.
Paranoia-wise, watching Omarosa work is truly impressive.
Shannon completely misreads how to do damage control with Omarosa on the decision to exclude her from the plan.
She demands a one-on-one with Shannon, with whom she had a secret alliance since Day 1.
You look like the horrible, bitchy chick, Omarosa tells Shannon in a calm, yet assertive tone.
Omarosa knows how to play Shannons paranoia switch like a fiddle.
Shannon, you could benefit from a mute button.
HOH and the Ghost of Christmas Past
The houseguests head outside for the HOH competition, Bowlerina.
Talk about a blast from the past.
That is a ghost from the past Im sure none of us wants to relive.
Then, they must spin again to get another clean shot at theBig Brotherequivalent of a strike.
Right off the bat, theres trouble.
In a very Christmas Abbott-like disappearance, we later learn Omarosa has been admitted to the hospital.
When it gets down to the wire between James and Ross, Shannon asks James to let Ross win.
Surprisingly, James listens.
As he tells us, The competitor inside me just wanted to win, but Im thinking big picture.
Im going to pause here and say something a little crazy.
James reminds me of the more evolved version ofSurvivors Debbie.
Plus, just like many-jobs-Debbie, James is a Nickelodeon star of many talents.
Hes morphing his game for the long haul.
Essentially, he tells us, as HOH hell just be finishing a job.
Ross, you know better.
Even though his initial target is back, Ross is torn.
I dont know which will win.
Ross does end up putting up Keshia and Omarosa, but its not clear which Ross has won.
What is clear is his affinity for a foursome that includes him, Marissa, Brandi, and Ariadna.
Shannon is in the HOHs crosshairs.
Will that play out Monday at the live eviction or down the road?
Will Ross definitely commit to this four?
Well have to see.
As I wind down, I think its of note to ponder this Celebrity Big Brotheris a new beast.
For every #RegrettaWorldPeace on this season, there are an abundance of super-fans.
Shannons already proving shes playing too hard.
Will Ross outplay himself too?
Is now the time for him to backdoor Shannon, whos an obvious threat for a resume move?
Oh, and those glasses and whatever hand spa treatment she and Ariadna were rocking?
Ill take one of each of those too.
