Celebrity Big Brother recap: Season 2 Episode 2 spoilers
By Ryan Gamble
Celebrity Big Brother recap time arrived again on Tuesday, January 22. This is Season 2 Episode 2 of the show, revealing some key information about the first Head of Household Competition.
The first Celebrity Big Brother recap came from Monday night (January 21), when Season 2 Episode 1 aired on CBS. During that episode, the 12 new houseguests were introduced to the television audience. Some of those names include comedian Tom Green, Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, and reality TV star Kandi Burruss. It was a fun season premiere for the show, but it didn’t reveal a lot of information about the competition, forcing people to tune in for Episode 2.
Celebrity Big Brother recap: Season 2 Episode 2
The new episode started with the familiar recap, showing the celebrities entering the game and getting familiar with each other. The first part of the first Head of Household Competition was also recapped, here the duo of Jonathan Bennett and Ryan Lochte won that first challenge. They would then have to face off to decide who would become the first HOH.
Following the opening credits and host Julie Chen Moonves speaking to the in-house audience, it was time to get things started. But first, Ryan and Jonathan had to react to the fact that one of them was about to become the first eviction nominee of the winter. Meanwhile, Joey Lawrence spoke about how it was actually a blessing to not win the first challenge.
Jonathan and Ryan started to work on an alliance to make sure they would both be safe, no matter which one of them ended up on the block. They even made a final two deal but needed to make sure they had seven people ready to go for the alliance. The idea was to bring Natalie Eva Marie, Kandi Burruss, Tamar Braxton, Joey Lawrence, and Lolo Jones into an alliance with them. When Lolo went to Joey to get him involved, Joey cut her off, saying he didn’t believe in alliances.
More Celebrity Big Brother alliances
In addition to the six-person alliance formed between Ryan, Lolo, Natalie, Tamar, Kandi, and Jonathan, several off-shoot alliances began to surface. Ryan and Jonathan made a final four deal with Lolo and Natalie. Then, Tamar and Kandi made a final four deal with Natalie and Lolo. It appears that these primary six houseguests may now control the game.
First Celebrity Big Brother HOH
Julie Chen Moonves got the head-to-head competition between Ryan and Jonathan started. Each person had to swing around the backyard and knock down blocks. The first one to knock down all of their blocks would become HOH. The loser would be nominated for eviction. Ryan won and Julie told him he would still name two nominees, in addition to Jonathan.

Ryan may have rubbed some people in his alliance the wrong way, as he stated that he was going to “wing it” with his nominees. Later, he did start to hash it out a bit. At the first Celebrity Big Brother Nomination Ceremony, Ryan Lochte nominated Anthony Scaramucci and Tom Green for eviction.
That brings an end to the Celebrity Big Brother recap for Season 2 Episode 2. That’s two episodes in the books, but the CBS schedule reveals that there are still two more episodes to watch this week alone.
