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.

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.
I may not be a fan of Omarosa as a person, but shes an outstanding reality show contestant.
I hope she and Keshia stay strong together.
Because they do a pretty good job in alienating the rest of the womens alliance with a cuckoo-pants suggestion.
But before we get to that, its Power of Veto time.
the infamous competition where doofy Jeff tried to spell the word technotronic.
No, he did not pump up the POV jam with that one.
Shannon and Chuck decide to go with the former, while Mark McGrath adopts the latter strategy.
Im with Mark: you shouldnt box yourself in by only focusing on one word.
Also, this competition feels a little unfair to Ariadna Gutierrez-Arevalo, whose first language isnt English.
Obviously, she has great command of the English language, but still.
That seems really tough.
The words are revealed to be:
Obviously, Shannon wins the POV.
Shes a baller and people are going to be targeting her.
But as Ross points out, thats ridiculous.
First of all, Shannon, of course, cares about her own game first and foremost.
If you dont, you are dead in theBig Brotherhouse.
Secondly,shewants to go along with your plan.Whats the problem here?
The alliance has also started crumbling with how everyones like girl power!
and completely discounting Ross Mathews being there.
He rightly feels a little uncomfortable being told that hes a girl now but he still has a penis.
Yeah, thats not great.
And Ross is not to be underestimated.
He is charming, funny, and knows this game.
Thats a dangerous player; they should work a little harder to make him feel included.
Its kind of insane to watch them make a run at convince her.
They dont have a great argument why on earth would you change the nominations?
But its making Shannon a little crazy, to the point where she cries to Omarosa.
Yeah, that would make me question an alliance members stability too.
This is not life and death.
Just relax a little, Shannon.
Shannon chooses not to use the POV, so Chuck and James remain on the block.
Thats… not a bad idea, actually.
The look on Omarosa and Keshias faces when Julie tells them the voting tally is priceless.
I hope they can recover from this, which will really depend on who wins the next HOH.
Odds & Ends
AndCelebrity Big Brothermaking headlines in the world of politics!
says Julie, incredulously.
Lets be adults thats the main reason why you cast Omarosa.
Did you notice Keshia is pumping breast milk?
Major props to her.
Most of that is fine, but the crawling everywhere really sucks.
This episode is definitely full of padding.
