Cecelia West

**Cecelia West** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 2 (US)* and the runner-up of *Big Brother 7 (US)*.

In *Big Brother 2*, Cecelia was a fierce competitor who was known as the veto queen. Early on, she struggled to find her footing in the game and even found herself on the block during the first week. Despite this and even receiving a punishment from the viewers, she was able to survive long enough to be included in an alliance featuring Axel Yorke, Cory Wicker, Jennifer Vazquez, Sayaka Tyokasha, and Xanther Wilson. While wanting to work with this group, she also grew closer to the eventual winner, Boulevard Ai. The two women would quickly become a duo and be known as an entity in the house. The alliance would quickly fall apart after Sayaka and Xanther's original exits. Eventually, Cecelia won her first HOH competition and decided to make a big move and evicted Axel. Sadly for her, it didn't pan out as she wanted and the very next week, Sayaka sent her packing in 5th Place.

Her brash yet loveable personality really allowed viewers to connect to Cecelia, and on finale night she placed within the Top 3 for America's Favorite Houseguest but lost to Xanther.

In *Big Brother 7*, Cecelia wanted to reintroduce herself to a larger audience. The show had really changed since she last played and sometimes her game tended to get lost in the sauce when people thought back to past players. The season started off very rocky for her as she found herself nominated three times throughout the pre-jury phase alone. Cecelia didn't feel protected as she didn't have a lot of allies, even Jennifer Vazquez had made new friends. The jury phase shifted up the game in a way that hugely benefited Cecelia. A rivalry between Brooklyn Clifford and Ramani Copperman split the house up into two sides. For the time being, Cecelia aligned with Ramani's side. This kept Cecelia out of the line of fire for a while as her side was able to win the next few major competitions. Throughout this period of time, Cecelia began to bond with Juan Pablo Pérez who was on the other side of the house. This caused a conflict for her where she didn't know which side to fully commit to, which led to her falling somewhat in between with nobody knowing where she truly stood. Her flip-floppy nature led to Ziyah Scott nominating her in the Double Eviction but when Zara Fae won veto, she earned Cecelia's loyalty by removing her from the block, forcing Ziyah to nominate Addison Kasey. As a team, Cecelia and Zara voted together to evict Addison and keep Juan Pablo. From this point on, they formed a group of three and made it to finale night together. Cecelia won the Final HOH and had a really tough decision to make. She chose to evict Juan Pablo, thinking she'd have an easier win against Zara. Sadly for her, Zara beat her in a close 5-4 vote.
