Celebrity Big Brother USA Discussion Thread (coming to CBS on February 7th 2018)

[Calderyon]

Just confirmed by Julie.

More details soon.

[Wizard.]

Premieres this winter. More info coming soon.

[Wizard.]

For the LOVE of God we better get a sub-forum!

[Headie]

It will be a mess

[Headie]

Why would any celebrities in their right mind sign up for this after the current season is the worst ever

[Wizard.]

Also I hope this airs in January I can't take anymore this year.

[Calderyon]

It´ll probably be American Z-list celebs tbf.

Kathy Griffin etc.

[Headie]

It´ll probably be American Z-list celebs tbf.

Survivor and BBCAN take priority!

[Wizard.]

Not CBB USA 1 after 20 series of the UK version :worry:

[Jack_]

This will be a mess and I'm here for it, they need to draft in Kim Woodburn for the lols and obvs Tiffany

This has been talked about and rumoured for years and I'm surprised they're doing it, are they finally looking to the (old) success of CBB in the UK or do CBS just have a sparse winter line-up of shows?

[Nick.]

It´ll probably be American Z-list celebs tbf.

Kathy Griffin etc.

BIB: I heard she's cut throat

[Wizard.]

Not getting my hopes up I mean OTT is probably never returning so eh this is probably a one-off to mark 20 seasons of BBUSA.

[Shaun]

I just came here to say I am personally offended at the idea of Kathy Griffin being Z-List

[Macie Lightfoot]

guys this is going to be awful and we're probably going to get Frankie Grande back, when will you mother****ers learn

[Wizard.]

CBS has just announced it will broadcast its first ever celebrity edition of the show with a winter edition airing in 2018!

The special event—which is in addition to BB's upcoming milestone 20th season in Summer 2018—will feature Julie Chen as host, multiple episodes per week during a concentrated run, the series’ signature Head of Household and Power of Veto competitions, and Live Evictions.

Does that mean more 24/7 Live Feeds coverage through CBS All Access? You betcha.

Looks like Feeders won't have to wait until next June to get their fill of behind-the-scenes shenanigans with the Houseguests!

"Big Brother has been dominating pop culture throughout its 19 seasons, and it is exciting to grow the franchise with the first-ever celebrity edition in the U.S.," said executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan.

"Celebrities will be under the watchful eye of the Big Brother cameras, facing the classic game elements, and of course new twists in this special winter event."

Stay tuned for additional details regarding scheduling, casting, and when you can expect the show to premiere!

Watch all-new episodes of Big Brother on Sundays and Wednesdays at 8/7c, and Thursdays at 9/8c on CBS and CBS All Access.

Then, be sure to check out the Big Brother Live Feeds—exclusively available through CBS All Access!

[Calderyon]

Who would be potential to do it?

Maybe some of The View, since they have minor experience with it? (I think they usually have some sort of segment where the hosts stay in the BBUS house for a few days before BBUS)

[Macie Lightfoot]

"Big Brother has been dominating pop culture throughout its 19 seasons

lmfao the BULL****

[Wizard.]

2018* hun

[Calderyon]

^ Thanks.

Would Neil Patrick Harris do it?

I mean he has expressed interest on doing CBB UK many times before.

[Mitchell]

Gemma Collins is coming girls

[Jack_]

I'm guessing there'll be a cash prize for charity at the end or else what exactly is the motivation to try and win?

I wonder how long it'll last since they'll have a lot to cram in with less time to do it, six weeks would be good?

It says it'll be a 'condensed' version and I couldn't imagine them doing it in 4 weeks like ours so I'd say 6 is probably about right with about 10 houseguests?

[Nick.]

I'm just wondering if it'll be a more Celebrity Apprentice line up or more Dancing With The Stars

[Epic.]

Speidi coming for the 3461461516th time?

[Jason.]

You only have to look at the people they got for the American I'm A Celebrity to see that this won't be any good. :laugh:

[Calderyon]

I´m thinking half of a regular season like this, so 5-6 weeks sounds about right.

[Jack_]

:joker: :love:

[HBIC]

I feel like this will be either really good or really bad, either way I'm excited

[Wizard.]

You only have to look at the people they got for the American I'm A Celebrity to see that this won't be any good. :laugh:

Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn), Speidi, Janice, a BALDWIN? A* i think.

[Wizard.]

905977383173357568

:joker: :love:

They can't cast Tiff because, when she gets evicted, I'd quit watching.

[Jack_]

I guess I'm now gonna experience what it's like for Macie et al when they watch CBB and wonder who the **** these British z-listers are, as CBS shove this house full of American ones I've never heard of

[iRyan]

I need Tiffany Pollard on it or I refuse to give them my viewership!

[Epic.]

They can't cast Tiff because, when she gets evicted, I'd quit watching.

Who said anything about her getting evicted ;)

in all seriousness thpugh she would do really well in the US format because her sociability gradually got really refined; befriending and switching allegiances with Gemma AND John despite both hating each other for a good week + Tiffany feuding with both more than once. And of course there was Gem's lesson to her of asking people if they wanted tea or coffee. Holy **** Tiffany has probably won

[Jason.]

Bruce Jenner (now Caitlyn), Speidi, Janice, a BALDWIN? A* i think.

Bruce was in it before he was well-known, Speidi were trash on our version so let's not pretend they'd be any better on a show which encourages people to actually scream their cue cards in the DR. I'll give you the other two, but that's about it.

More details released:

'Big Brother' Team Reveals Celebrity Winter Edition (Exclusive)

"It's not going to be all Oscar winners," host Julie Chen tells THR about the upcoming challenges of casting the newest version of the series.

The stars are aligned for a special edition of Big Brother.

The CBS summer flagship will air a celebrity spin-off of the series in winter 2018.

The new version of the show will air on the network and will feature multiple episodes per week during a concentrated run—including the signature Head of Household and Power of Veto competitions and live evictions. In addition, CBS All Access will again invite viewers inside the Big Brother house for an unfiltered look at its cast with the 24/7 live feed.

Julie Chen will host the celebrity edition, which is an addition to Big Brother’s milestone 20th season that will air in summer 2018.

The news comes on the heels of the show’s 19th season averaging 7.35 million viewers per episode and ranking among summer's top 5 broadcasts among adults 18-49. It's also reached its highest ratings since season 13 in 2011.

The anomaly of what the series has been able to maintain (becoming a live streaming event and airing three episodes a week ) since its inception in 2000 is what pushed the network’s hand into dipping into the celebrity genre that has appeared over the years on other networks.

Chen tells The Hollywood Reporter about her initial conversation with husband and CEO of CBS, Leslie Moonves, “He said, “You and your show are single-handedly keeping this network afloat during the summer. You’re keeping this network running.'"

Adding, "If you know one thing about my husband, it has to make economic sense. They crunched the numbers and said, ‘Based on the following we have, we can do it and make it work and make it profitable.’”

Says CBS Entertainment president, Kelly Kahl, "Big Brother has been a ratings winner since its premiere in 2000, and keeps going strong with a passionate fan base across multiple platforms, on-air, online and on social."

The network’s recent summer offerings over the years including the freshman series Candy Crush hosted by Mario Lopez haven’t been able to make the same footing as the long-time reality competition.

This isn’t the first time the network has utilized the success of the franchise to expand into other properties. Most recently, its all-online version of the show, Big Brother Over the Top, was the premier series for CBS All Access and in 2007 Big Brother: After Dark premiered on Showtime before making its way to Pop TV in 2013. And under the Endemol Shine umbrella the series airs in over 40 countries including an already running Celebrity Big Brother in the U.K.

In previous years, the U.K. version has cast stars including Pamela Anderson, Gary Busey, Stephen Baldwin, Perez Hilton, Ivana Trump, and MTV's Spencer and Heidi Pratt. Casting is underway for the untitled CBS iteration and will be revealed at a later date.

To get all the details on the latest Big Brother expansion, THR dialed up Chen and returning executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan of Fly on the Wall Entertainment to talk about what fans can expect, casting challenges and how it impacts the show moving forward.

This summer, the series witnessed its some of its highest ratings since 2011. What do you attribute to the recent growth?

Chen: New, young viewers discover it every summer. Sometimes it's because they don't have a license yet, they're too young to drive, they have a curfew and they suddenly flip on the TV and discover it that way. And with social media they see these outrageous clips that get surfaced and when they see it they think, "What is that from?" Or in this season we saw someone like [contestant] Jessica [Graf] who was the resident hottie and heroine where she had a picture of herself at eight years old with her dad and she said it was something her dad loved and she used to watch it with her dad.

Grodner: We've noticed through the years that our fan base is multi-generational and the immediacy of this show is unique. You can't binge watch it. This is a show where you need to be in the know as it happens and you want to be.

Meehan: It's always casting and putting a good mix together and the twists have become part of our format where you never know [what's going to happen] every season.

Chen: It's not scripted, it's real. You get hooked whether you like the people or you love to hate the people. It's a real-life soap opera. You get to know who they are and you want to see their outcome. The other shows in the summer don't have that. We air three nights a week and we could easily air seven nights a week because there is so much content and story happening.

Julie, you were one of the first people to find out about the celebrity edition. What was your conversation with Les like about bringing this version to air?

Chen: My husband came home and said, "Well, it's official." We had toyed with it dating back to season two. Paris Hilton agreed to do it and Roseanne Barr also said she was going to and then she backed out. It didn't come together and I'm glad it didn't so early on into the series. This is a direct quote from my husband. He said, "You and your show are single-handedly keeping this network afloat during the summer." He says it all the time, "I'm telling you Jules, you're keeping this network running. You guys continue to make us money." He said to me, "You're going to have to quit the show before the show is off the air. This was the first summer he said, "With these numbers I don't see an end in sight. This series could on for a long time and longer than you're going to be a part of it." That's how long he sees it going on based on the following, the ratings and the numbers.

But you have no plans to leave anytime soon, correct?

Chen: Didn't Bob Barker do like 55 years [on the Price is Right]? I bow to him.

Grodner: (Laughs) Julie can be doing this for a long time. It's hard to imagine the show without her.

Why are you now dipping into the celebrity genre, which is something other networks have done previously?

Chen: If you know one thing about my husband, it has to make economic sense. They crunched the numbers and said, "Based on the following that we have we could do it and make it work and make it profitable, but certain things have to happen." It's a condensed version. Because if you're going to get celebrities you find me a celebrity who can give you 90 days [of their time]. There's no such thing. It's hard enough to book them to come on The Talk for a 15-minute interview. I get the economics of it.

Meehan: With success for 19 seasons and always being a strong performer, which in today's market is really rare, it's a fun new way to expand the brand and the Big Brother universe.

Do you see the celebrity edition airing every winter, and how will it impact the franchise moving forward?

Chen: If the model works and it has a big following and makes the money, we're no fools. Let's recreate the magic again. I don't know if it will be an every winter thing or will have an affect on the summer. But I know one thing, my husband and his team explore all options.

Are you worried about over saturation of the series?

Chen: I am a little bit. I felt like Big Brother: Over the Top might have fallen a little in that category. Part of our success is that we're only on once a year and it's only during the summer where the competition isn't as stiff. It's easier to be a winner in the summer than it is in the fall and winter. I'm hopeful, but I'm going to reserve judgment.

What are the mechanics that will need to go into making the new edition work?

Meehan: We're going to keep what makes the show work including the HoH and Veto [competitions] and the live evictions. The challenge will be turning it into an event that feels special for the winter.

Grodner: It's important that it still feels like Big Brother, but it doesn't infringe on what we all know about the summer. It will have its own spin. And it needs to feel like an event series that we do each year.

Chen: The magic is always in the casting. It's the same thing whether you're a celebrity or not a celebrity. [Houseguest] Cody [Nickson] this year is an example of someone who was on the cusp that certain people were fighting for [to cast] and other people wanted someone else. It's going to be the same game. The concept is going to be the same. Hopefully it will be household names.

Other celebrity variations of reality TV cast mid-level talent. Are you aiming higher than that?

Chen: We're being realistic. It's not going to be all Oscar winners. But maybe we'll have someone who won an Oscar decades ago. Whoever casts Dancing With the Stars does an amazing job. They don't always get all household names, but some people kind of reinvent themselves and suddenly I see that person all over the tabloids. Sometimes these types of shows, like in the U.K. [version], some of the washed-up names that went into it got a new lease on life. And the big names that went in, it was a little bit too up close and personal. Those people did themselves in with letting the public see who they really are.

Meehan: We're just starting discussions and we're looking for people who are going to be fun. Maybe there are some celebrity fans of the show that we'll mix in there. We're going to create a big list and go out and see who we can get.

Grodner: It will be an eclectic group with diverse personalities and we're looking forward to seeing who will be interested.

With the 24/7 access to talent, do you see that as a challenge in booking the cast? What are the other challenges?

Grodner: Everything about it, to be honest. There's no privacy and that's going to be a hurdle in getting a celebrity onboard.

Chen: Most celebrities and people don't know that they have an ugly side. I've always said Big Brother is like holding up a mirror one inch away from your face and really examining who you are.

Former houseguest Frankie Grande appeared on the U.K. version. Are you ruling out former players?

Grodner: We're now just diving into it so can't give any answers on that. It's all still being worked out on what it's going to look like.

With the cost of getting talent for this edition rule out an all-stars season for summer 2018?

Meehan: We haven't done any work on season 20.

Grodner: Season 20 is a huge milestone for this show so obviously that's special. I'm sure there will be some new things about it.

Do you plan on switching up the house and studio for the celebrity version?

Grodner: It'll certainly be a new look.

Meehan: There will definitely be some things different about the house because we're doing it more of an event instead of a three month series. There will be some tweaks and changes to the rooms and the outside that will be necessary.

Grodner: And it's a winter edition so we need to think about weather. The outside will reflect that.

Who are your dream gets for the series?

Grodner: [Wednesday night's] show you saw Bobby Moynihan, who is an amazing fan who really knows everything and couldn't have been more excited to participate. That would be awesome.

Chen: Tonya Harding. Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg, that's a love affair waiting to happen. Sean Spicer and Melissa McCarthy, which will never happen. Andy Cohen is a super fan, hilarious and speaks his mind. He's not afraid to stand up for himself or a friend and he's fiercely loyal. And who is the one who acts crazy every now and then? Is it Shia LaBeouf? I don't know if I want him.

Who do you want to see cast in the celebrity edition on CBS? Do you think former players will be considered for the cast? Sound off in the comments section below and stay tuned to the Live Feed for all things Big Brother.

[Macie Lightfoot]

okay but Tonya Harding would be gold tbh

[Jack_]

Chen: Sometimes these types of shows, like in the U.K. [version], some of the washed-up names that went into it got a new lease on life.

'washed up' made me laugh :joker:

[supertv247]

This is exciting, but I'll be so annoyed if they get someone huge that we could've had :laugh:

[bbcanfan88]

CBS has more money than Channel 5 so maybe they can get some c-listers instead of washed up reality stars. But realistically it's gonna be DWTS-lite.

[JerseyWins]

PUMPED for this :amazed:

But awwww I thought this was gonna be on TV on CBS, not another all-access only type thing. :(

[Coldwinter]

Jersey, I think it was just talking about the live feeds; because CBS is airing the main show and After Dark is still on Pop for CBB1.

[Natalie.]

This will be so bad, I can't wait

[Denver]

This is exciting, but I'll be so annoyed if they get someone huge that we could've had :laugh:

Come thru Tulisa

[starry]

Not getting my hopes up I mean OTT is probably never returning so eh this is probably a one-off to mark 20 seasons of BBUSA.

And I would have preferred OTT returning. Some half assed celeb BB version isn't really that interesting sounding. I expect it will have a large public vote influence on it.

[Will.]

Omg perched

[Will.]

Gemma Collins to enter?

[Morgan.]

I think I might watch this. I can never usually get past 3/4 weeks of the main show for some reason, but this might be fun. I can already see the likes of Farrah, Speidi and Tiffany signing up though :joker: And maybe even Jonathan Cheban :joker:

[Wizard.]

PUMPED for this :amazed:

But awwww I thought this was gonna be on TV on CBS, not another all-access only type thing. :(

It is going to be on TV?

[Tregard]

I just came here to say I am personally offended at the idea of Kathy Griffin being Z-List

Celebrity Mole champion Kathy Griffin doesnt deserve this

[Jack_]

Yeah I'd say it's 99% likely there won't be a jury which is a real shame

[Headie]

Judi from Bad Girls Club auditioned for BB a couple years ago and they rejected her for being on BGC already. Here for her on Celebrity Big Brother!

[Headie]

https://media.giphy.com/media/1vxhuXQXUmFe8/giphy.gif

[Morgan.]

Yeah I'd say it's 99% likely there won't be a jury which is a real shame

I can see this two, most celebs will probably want to leave as soon as they're evicted instead if remaining in a Jury house. I could see one of two things happening; the public choosing the winner or them having a Jury that don't live in a house with one another after they're evicted.

[Headie]

https://68.media.tumblr.com/3b62bc0696c4443e803d060e9c44666f/tumblr_ovy0d3WOcZ1uztdv6o1_540.png

Screaming

[Jack_]

Damn why didn't I think of that

I can see this two, most celebs will probably want to leave as soon as they're evicted instead if remaining in a Jury house. I could see one of two things happening; the public choosing the winner or them having a Jury that don't live in a house with one another after they're evicted.

A non sequestered jury would be a throwback

[T*]

Is it the bbusa format bc my wig

[JerseyWins]

Jersey, I think it was just talking about the live feeds; because CBS is airing the main show and After Dark is still on Pop for CBB1.
It is going to be on TV?
Oh then I'm extra excited for this again. :amazed:

(idk why I assumed it'd be only CBS all access from whatever I read anyway if they're managing to get celebs on the show but that would've been disappointing)

[LukeB]

omg

is this going to be the same as BBOTT with it being online only?

[Wizard.]

omg

is this going to be the same as BBOTT with it being online only?

No they confirmed that several episodes will air a week on CBS.

I just thought though there's no way they can have a jury with celebrities so it's going to have to be America voting for the winner. BBOTT is dead.

[Morgan.]

I'm actually hoping they send one of them iconic big Brother keys to 12 a list celebrities (on camera for the Entrance VT's) and tell them they have no choice but to enter the CBB house - force them into a car and put them in sequester. That would achieve a great lineup.

[Glenn-C]

Tiffany or keep it

[thisisdanny]

Never watched BB US before but might watch the celeb version tbh

[Anaesthesia]

I guess I'm now gonna experience what it's like for Macie et al when they watch CBB and wonder who the **** these British z-listers are, as CBS shove this house full of American ones I've never heard of

Same...if they haven't been on the Bachelor / ette, or the UK CBB, or they are pretty famous, I won't have a clue either...maybe it'll be more fn that way, we won't know who we're supposed to be cheering for :)

[EspeonBB]

lmfao this is going to be a huge mess and I'm here for it

btw @Grodner Frankie Grande isn't a celebrity

[Braden]

I hope the inevitable Real Housewife they cast is somewhat decent enough for me to be interested in this.

I hope someone has already spammed CBS and ther BB-related Twitter handles with the suggestion of Gemma Collins.

[Headie]

https://i.snag.gy/pOewQJ.jpg

She is coming y'all

[Calderyon]

Why do i get the feeling that it´s going to a nightmare cast for me?

[JerseyWins]

Btw has there been any mention of when this will be starting? I wouldn't mind getting right into this in like November... excited for it. (but I'm guessing more like January or even February possibly)

Anyone know when BB9 aired when they did that winter version?

[Jack_]

It's definitely 2018 so probably January, BB9 premiered in February

[Jack_]

Unless they schedule it with the Survivor premiere in Feb? Seeing as they're not doing it this fall

[Headie]

It's definitely 2018 so probably January, BB9 premiered in February

BBCAN takes priority so if it clashes then bye CBBUSA hun x

[Jack_]

That's a good point, I wonder if Global are going to air this :laugh:

[Wizard.]

That's a good point, I wonder if Global are going to air this :laugh:

Don't tell me Global wanted to cancel BBCAN so that they could air this.

[Marsh.]

Are they likely to cast the likes of Speidi do we think?

[bbcanfan88]

I can see this two, most celebs will probably want to leave as soon as they're evicted instead if remaining in a Jury house. I could see one of two things happening; the public choosing the winner or them having a Jury that don't live in a house with one another after they're evicted.

It'll definitively be like OTT as far as format.. America's nominates a third person every week and also America votes for the winner.

[Wojtek]

Nikki is coming!

[Cal.]

Are they likely to cast the likes of Speidi do we think?

Not Speidi themselves because they'll have a newborn baby but probably people like them ala our CBB I'd imagine.

[Morgan.]

Also we have to think whether they'll pick people who are likely to play the game or whether they'll pick people based on entertainment value.

[Briancbbfan]

Being realistic and optimistic the best celebs who I think would do it for the right money

Possible castings are:

- Tori Spelling
- Jerry Springer
- Caitlin Jenner
- Paris Hilton
- Stephen Baldwin
- Maureen McCormick
- Tamar Braxton
- Pam Anderson
- David Hasselhoff
- Christina Milian

BIG NAMES who I think could be convinced and are worth approaching: Lindsay Lohan, Mike Tyson, Toni Braxtpn

[JerseyWins]

Lindsay Lohan & Mike Tyson would be amaaazing. :fc:

The people who make those Mean Girls videos will already have the lead role set? :joker:

[RileyH]

I'd settle for Tamar Braxton and Erika Jayne :flutter:

[Ashsleigh]

Also we have to think whether they'll pick people who are likely to play the game or whether they'll pick people based on entertainment value.

Entertainment value, probably. I doubt it'll be taken too seriously.

Not you believing it

[BBfanUSA]

Oh my god, I just realized that they should totally do the ad campaign for Celebrity Big Brother UK where that Shaun guy was begging to get into the house but with Neil Patrick Harris, Kathy Griffin, or a former HG.

That would be funny

[Epic.]

Any confirmations yet?

[Calderyon]

Just rumours:

https://www.inquisitr.com/4529017/celebrity-big-brother-us-casting-news-rumors-these-8-superstars-keep-coming-up-as-cbbus-housegueststs/

[RileyH]

they're all awful apart from Brody and Teresa

[Wizard.]

Sharon wins :clap1:

[RichardG]

does brad (somehow) get his name rumoured every year for other shows too or is it just bb

i don't watch anything else so idk

[Denver]

He has rumoured himself for IAC and DOI

[BBfanUSA]

does brad (somehow) get his name rumoured every year for other shows too or is it just bb

i don't watch anything else so idk

He does this every year, even for the civilian series.

Wish he'd piss off.

Wish we had rumors already, kinda dissapointed that we haven't heard anything about the house getting a facelift (Really hope they changed the FOTH).

[Wizard.]

Rumoured to run second week of January to end of February lasting around 5 weeks

[Jason.]

Not it clashing with CBBUK.

It'll finish just in time for BBCAN6 if that's the case.

[Cal.]

PLEASE have Drita and Tiff :fc:

[Jack_]

Rumoured to run second week of January to end of February lasting around 5 weeks

That would be perfect

Now to hope they don't ditch the jury!

[Wizard.]

The way she faked being attracted to George in CBB UK I think she’ll be good at the strategy

[JerseyWins]

Heidi is pregnant though so ...
Oh, no Speidi then </3

Hopefully Stephanie takes after her brother then. Or her & Spencer go in together!

[RileyH]

Oh, no Speidi then </3

Hopefully Stephanie takes after her brother then. Or her & Spencer go in together!

Oh, no Speidi then </3

Hopefully Stephanie takes after her brother then. Or her & Spencer go in together!

[BBfanUSA]

This thread blew up fast. :chuckle:

I posted that story a month ago

[Calderyon]

^ It´ll pick up leading to February.

[Cal.]

No idk her at all. But I have faith in the Pratt family :clap1:

Stephanie has already done CBB in the UK you stupid cow! CBB14.

[Calderyon]

Stephanie Pratt was dreadful.

[Wojtek]

Stephanie was amazing. :love:

[BBfanUSA]

^ It´ll pick up leading to February.

True.

Once we're properly into January hopefully the rumor mill is in full swing. There might be some confusion because DWTS is in approximately the same area on the CBS Studio City Lot as well.

[JerseyWins]

Get the Pratts in there!

Katy and Kim K to enter in a rivals twist?

[Wizard.]

Katy and Kim K to enter in a rivals twist?

They win back to back HoH's but everytime they nominate Taylor she is awarded a Coup D'etat out of Pandora's Box.

[JerseyWins]

The thought of Katy & Taylor settling a feud in the BB house. :joker:

[BBfanUSA]

It's for the ads, chill.

Although it's going to be weird seeing HGs dance along water in the winter tho.

[Guuki]

Someone posted a video on the official BBUS channel, but it's no longer available to watch... :shrug:
I like the logo though.

New teaser

[Gstar]

Really tempted to watch this

[Calderyon]

Three weeks is a very short though in US format. From HOH to eviction in space of 2-3 days? Add in a few doubles and fast forwards and maybe that would work?

[Calderyon]

Then again if they only have 8-10 HG´s altogether, it would seem an appropriate lenght.

[JerseyWins]

Maybe like 12? I definitely wouldn't expect the 15-17 that they do now in such a little time frame. :think:

Andy Dick would be annoying as hell

Margaret Cho and Bobby Moynihan could be good. I can see him being legit as he was on BBUS recently to host

and I called someone from Jersey Shore from Day 1..can't get rid of them!

Screaming @ Sean Spicer

I don't really know why they would bring Frankie back when he was pretty much unanimously hated last time

[Calderyon]

^ They saw CBB18 and think he has changed?

[Calderyon]

It´s crazy that on this version i actually know some people for a change.

[LukeB]

^ They saw CBB18 and think he has changed?

Then he was his real self post CBB18. I found it gross he tried to make the manchester attack about himself.

[RileyH]

Then he was his real self post CBB18. I found it gross he tried to make the manchester attack about himself.

He did this? :skull:

[Calderyon]

^ Oh?

What did he say after CBB18? Other than that Manchester attack thingy which is appalling.

I don´t follow twitter or Facebook.

[JerseyWins]

Yes please bring on Sammi Sweetheart & Spencer's sis :love:

[AarynGriesfan]

Frankie is not going to be back on the show. Nor will any past houseguest. They wisely know it would be a flop if they cast him.

[JerseyWins]

Idk I wouldn't be surprised if they brought Frankie back for this. :worry:

[Mandie]

he annoyed me on DWTS :sleep:

I honestly dont really know him - only heard the name before and then that one episode of BBUS

[BBfanUSA]

Someone on snapchat posted a look at the backyard, which has a roof being held up by some scaffolding for some reason.

I like the house

[Wizard.]

Apparently the official title is Big Brother: Celebrity Edition :skull:

[Nick.]

Like the house tbh, makes a nice change from years of 'Summer Fun'

[Coldwinter]

The house is very BB9 meets BB10 meets BB15, and I like it.

[JerseyWins]

Sammi is definitely going in
Please don't get my hopes up

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

Just putting this because of the star in the floor.

[BBfanUSA]

The house has that wintery feel to it but has been glammed up quite well for celeb BB. I like it so far outside of the kitchen area.

[Jason.]

A nice change from the tacky beach themed houses they always have for the summer.

[Morgan.]

Love it!

If they get the train wreak known as Tonya Harding into the CBB US house... that would be it for me. They can cancel CBB and BB UK... because there would be no way to beat that.

I'm only watching if Tiffany is in it, even though I'm an avid BBUS fan, the two week length is still pathetically short...

The season is gonna be two weeks long??!

I’ve already said that account made fan edits of the real cast. I posted this a few comments up.

Thank goodness.

But if it’s the real cast

I feel like Calderon just hates any HM/HG that everyone else loves :laugh:

For me Tiffany is vastly overrated. She was that already when she was on Flavor of Loves 1 and 2.

Also please call me Cald.

The main thing I'm excited about with this is that I'd expect the gameplay to be the most organic it's been in a while. Like how many celebs are gonna know how to play this game?

And I feel like that's what a lot of people have been wanting too so hopefully it's fun for everyone. :fc:

Owens would be so great for showing raw emotion all the time. I'm hoping that rumor account actually has some substance to it. :fc:

Wouldn't they use the sunrise emoji for that? Because a clock could resemble any time of the day. But people are saying it's Flava Flav, known for wearing a huge clock necklace.

[Morgan.]

Actor - idk
Talking person - Sharon Osbourne? She is on that program with Chenbot
Microphone - Lance Bass
TV - Tiffany Pollard?
Pizza - idk some chef
Basketball - Dennis Rodman?

Fighter outfit - idk
Clock - idk
Palm Tree - someone from survivor
Briefcase - That Omarosa gal from Apprentice USA and Celebeity Apprentice USA?
