- January 21 – February 13, 2019
- Channel: CBS
- Start Time: 8 PM ET (Sunday, January 27th will be at 10)
- Primer / Full Cast
Ryan Lochte is returning to Celebrity Big Brother tonight for episode 3, after episode 2, which in many ways was centered around Lochte. Lochte won his head-to-head challenge against Jonathan Bennett to determine who the first Head of Household would be. Lochte came out on top in a challenge involving swinging, only to learn that he would have to nominate 2 members of the house to up for eviction tonight. After much deliberation, he ended up nominating Anthony Scarumucci and Tom Green.
While Ryan is not in any danger of leaving the house tonight, being the first HoH may well put a target on the 12-time Olympic medalist’s back.
Episode 3 Live Updates:
- Jonathan is happy that Lochte did not nominate Dina saying he now knows he “can trust” Ryan. The alliance seems to be holding strong, for now.
- Lolo is unhappy that Lochte did not nominate Dina like he said he was going to, elevating the level of tension between the Olympians and putting Jonathan in danger of being evicted.
- Luckily, for now, any anger within the “alliance’ is being directed at Jonathan, instead of Lochte. If Jonathan is evicted, Ryan should be able to get through being HoH unscathed, within his own alliance, at least. Tom and Anthony may hold a grudge, however.
- Lolo gets the girls to leave the room once Lochte and Jonathan enter the room. Lochte senses there’s some tea that needs spilled.
- Lochte on Lolo: “She can find me on the winner’s podium, and her a** on the block”
- Lochte randomly chooses Ricky and Joey to join the nominees in the challenge
- Lochte is now competing for a Veto, which would give him a big advantage
- Lochte is just about to win, thn his whole tower of gold bars falls over
- Ricky wins the Veto, dealing Ryan his first loss in a competition
- Lochte says the girls have been acting shady, attempts to get Ricky to use his veto to save Joanthan, in the event Jonathan is nominated
- This Lochte/Lolo drama is continuing. Ricky told Lolo Ryan wants her on the block #drama
- Ryan wants a ‘boys alliance’ now, thinking the girls are conspiring against Jonathan
- Ricky declines to use his veto, clearly disappointing Ryan Lochte
I caught a little of this and it wasn’t bad..
I watched a little because of Lochte and it is pretty campy, but he comes off pretty well which I did not expect in this sort of show
Make America Dumb Always
FYI This show originated in the UK.
The show actually originated in the Netherlands in 1999. By 2000, there was a series in Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, the US, Belgium, Germany, the UK, and Italy.
The France, being far too sophisticated to catch on to ‘reality television’ right away, held out until….2001. They called it “Loft Story,” and it was ‘toned down’ to appeal to French tastes.
I was meaning the celebrity version. I’m pretty sure they’ve had 20+ seasons.
Ohhh ok, I gotcha.
Well, in fairness…I would guess that Bobo is not a fan of the whole series, versus just the celebrity version. Lol. But in either case, your point holds – neither concept is truly American.
“French tastes” – I see what you did there.
I actually think this show is going to be good for Ryan’s image. He’s coming off as an entertaining goofball and viewers like him.
As for the game I think he has no shot. I’d have to assume the first time someone in his alliance doesn’t win Head of Household he’s going to get nominated.
A bit off-topic: say what you want about TYR (they’re not my most favorite swim equipment provider), at least they maintained their support for Lochte after his 2016 (Rio) and 2018 (water IV) debacles and he was at a career low point. I respect that kind of loyalty.
I love their suits.
Grevers had some really good things to say about the way that company treated him after he failed to make the Rio team. He figured his career was over since he was past 30 at that point and they continued to invest in him. He’s had a great couple of years since, so it looks like that is paying off. Lochte’s situation is quite a bit different than just a missed taper, but still, it seems TYR stands by their athletes and that is admirable.
I think they have the best paddles, and that’s really the only equipment I care about any more haha
I thought his contract was with Speedo and they were ending the contract at RIO and just didn’t renew. Did not know he had one with TYR. Oops, I see he got it after Rio. Gotcha.
Where people land after their careers are over.
$100K for a few days work seems pretty decent for most.
Dang it Ryan
Damn Ryan, you ain’t playing around lol
Oh god, this HAS to be staged
