Carson considered putting Shanna on the block as the replacement nominee even though Shanna had saved him last week using Veto.

Celebrity Big Brother Episode 9 recap

In the eighth episode of Celebrity Big Brother, Carson won the HOH competition after making a deal with Todrick to keep him safe. Shanna, Caron and Cynthia Bailey then tried to convince Todrick that he could not use the POV (Power of Veto), if he won, to take Miesha off the block.

Todrick was not impressed by this, so he, along with Meisha, told Cynthia and Carson about Shanna playing on both sides. Shanna realized that she might not be safe and ended up explaining to Cynthia that she was feeling people out at the beginning of the game, but was committed to aligning with Carson and Cynthia.

Cynthia thought that Shanna wasn't trustworthy and made up her mind that she no longer wanted to play the game with the latter.

Later in the episode, Carson struck a deal with Miesha where he promised to target Shanna this week if she does not win POV. In return, Miesha had to spare him and Cynthia if she were to win the next HoH competition.

Miesha agreed to the deal and informed Todrick of the same. Miesha also told Todrick that the deal was just for next week, so he was free to target Carson next week if he were to win HOH.

A random draw for the POV competition determined that Lamar, Todrick and Cynthia will play in the competition with HoH Carson and nominees Miesha and Todd. For the competition, celebrities had to solve a puzzle. Todrick took an early lead and finished first to win the POV.

Todrick used his POV on Todd and Carson named Shanna as the replacement nominee. By a unanimous vote, Shanna was evicted. On her way back, she hugged Lamar and Todd before walking out and also hoped for Todd to win.
