The first to go was The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp, and Monday (February 7) saw Olympic ice-skater Mirai Nagasu and actor Chris Kattan at risk. Elsewhere in the episode, some of the remaining housemates went head-to-head in a hilarious Power of the Veto challenge.
Newsweek has everything you need to know about the second eviction of Celebrity Big Brother Season 3 and who is HOH.
Who Left Celebrity Big Brother 3 Last Night?
Olympic Figure Skater Mirai Nagasu was the latest contestant to leave Celebrity Big Brother.
Nagasu 28, was unanimously evicted by her fellow housemates, who were forced to decide between her and Kattan.
Her emotional pleas to her housemates were not enough to change her mind.
Speaking to host Julie Chen Moonves after her eviction, Mirai revealed she wasn’t surprised to be the second to go, stating she was “absolutely” prepared for the result.
She added: “It was really lonely for me. And then I didn’t relate to anyone. I’ve never been the only Asian-American in a room and that is something that I will have to endure. I’ve always been surrounded and that was really hard for me.”
At first, it looked like Kattan would be the one to go, after saying his goodbyes to his fellow housemates.
He said: “I don’t know much about game playing. I love you all and I think it’s time for me to move on.”
Turning to Nagasu, Kattan said: “‘You have been very dedicated to playing the game and it’s very important to you. I’ve seen that for a while for a couple of weeks. You have had a lot of traumatic moments so I think you should stay and I should move on. And I will see you all on the outside.”
However, the Celebrity Big Brother housemates voted 7-0 to evict Nagusu.
Who Is The Current Celebrity Big Brother HOH?
Former UFC champion Misha Tate’s reign as HOH came to an end on Sunday, February 5.
For a few moments, the housemates were considered equal and had to compete in a game of “Rotten Potatoes,” where they had to roll a ball into three “potato meters” and the housemate with the highest score would be appointed the new HOH.
It was a close call between former NBA star Lamar Odom and NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick, who had scores of 61 and 75, respectively.
In the end, Kirkpatrick was the winner, and by default he became the new HOH.
As HOH, Kirkpatrick has the power to nominate housemates for eviction.
In Monday’s episode, Kirkpatrick was getting close with former Miss USA Shanna Moakler. Together, they both decided Nagasu should be up for eviction, due to the threat her athleticism poses.
They also decided to put Kattan up for eviction as a “pawn” to help eliminate Mirari.
Kattan, Kirkpatrick, Nagasu, Moakler, Cynthia Bailey and Todrick Hall then went head to head in a Power of Veto competition, inspired by Jennifer Lopez rom-com Marry Me.
They were tasked with looking for a person holding up a sign that reads “Marry Me” among a crowd of people, with Moakler taking the victory.
As Kirkpatrick’s ally, Moakler decided not to veto Kirkpatrick’s decision and Kattan and Nagasu remained up for eviction.
Just nine famous faces remain in the Big Brother House, with the live finale set to take place on Wednesday, February 23. Here’s who is left competing for the final HOH spot:
