Here is the list of the cast of the very first US edition of Celebrity Big Brother in order of who I am most excited to see.
OMAROSA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really all I need to know. Must have live feeds! I turned them off right after Big Brother ended and they charged my account for four or five more months. I just got them to stop and now I must have them back. This will be fantastic.
Brandi Glanville
I would rather have had Nene in there with Omarosa, but Brandi will do. She will be someone to watch out for because this is not her first Big Brother experience. I was told she was rather well-behaved on CBBUK though. You never know what you are going to get with her.
Ross Matthews
I’m not really sure what the relationship between Brandi and Ross is now, but she was practically gay bashing him when she was on his show. She said something about his life being nothing but a booty call because he is gay. That was three years or so ago. So who knows. Anyway, he is hilarious and will be a great counterbalance to all the bitch fights.

Keisha Knight Pulliam
Because you know everyone is going to call her Rudy ( from the Cosby Show role) and that pisses her off. And Keisha is bat shit crazy. Remember former RHOA Lisa Hartwell? Well, Keisha married him back in January of 2016 after dating him for four months. She was pushing him to get her pregnant right away and he wanted to wait, so he claims he wasn’t having much sex with her and she magically got pregnant. He thinks she got knocked up by someone else. They separated after just a couple of months. Ed refused to believe he was the father until the kid took a paternity test in February of last year. Since then he hasn’t been paying his child support on time and she has repeatedly ask the judge to lock him up and garnish his NFL retirement checks. Ed started dating some other chick while he was still married and during the divorce proceeding, that girls friend testified that she asked about a drug that would cause a miscarriage. Ed should have just stayed married to Lisa Wu, she was the sanest one of the nutballs he’s dated.
Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez
This was the first runner-up for Miss Universe 1995 that Steve Harvey announced as the winner. She seems like she will be the nice girl that everyone cries to about their problems. But she is Colombian, so she will probably be a little bit feisty too! And last but not least, Valentina, loves her and impersonated her on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season Nine. Otherwise known as the season that went horribly, horribly wrong.
Metta World Peace
Because who doesn’t love world peace? And it will look funny seeing him in the house with Marissa Winokur who is less than five feet tall. Plus he is known for being a bit less than peaceful on the court.
American Pie actress Shannon Elizabeth, Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath, UFC light heavyweight champ Chuck Liddell, actor/singer James Maslow round out the cast. Well, they actually DON’T round out the house. That’s only 11 people and I doubt they would start with an odd number. I expect one more surprise male. Who do you think that might be? Who was that guy who was on Big Brother last season from some CBS show? He was the celebrity guest and a super fan so I thought he was a sure bet to get on. Or Matt Iseman because clearly being on Celebrity Apprentice is almost a requirement.
Big Brother premieres on Wednesday, February 7th at 8 pm on CBS. I am very excited for the show. However, it will be running at the same time as the Olympics so that will be problematic. Who is down with me for this train wreck?
I can’t wait for this. I always watch the British version and love it. Just the thought of Brandi and Omarosa going at it. CBS should put Brandi on an alcohol iv drip for the whole show.
I feel for Brandi. She is no match for Omarosa, none, yet she thinks she is. Sad, she will get eaten alive and her voice will do that drunk high pitched squeal.
Talk about a fallen career, Omarosa. Senior White House advisor to Big Brother contestant.
So much for “quitting” the White House to focus on helping South Africa…
Geez, you’re right! Talk about a fall! Of course she’ll spin it so that it’s all been it’s all been part of a larger plan. Personally, I can’t stand her but she makes for compelling TV, which is what she sets out to do.
As an aside, I’ll never forget the way she came gunning for Bethenny on HER TV show.
Jerzey..I like the UK version of CBB/BB so much better because they don’t allow Alliances. They can’t even talk about eviction. I’ll watch this US version of Celebrities though. Last season of US BB was dreadful. ugh
Oh hell yes
Are you thinking of Bobby Moynihan? His CBS show was canceled so he might be available. I’d love to see him on here. I can’t believe Omorosa is in the cast. I thought she wanted to be taken seriously. I can’t wait for this show. It’s going to be such a train wreck. I hope they don’t add the brother at the last moment.
Yes, Thank You. It seems to me they are short one guy, But if they are going to spring him at the last minute I would think it was someone better than Bobby or Matt. Maybe Boy George? It seems like mostly recycled apprentice players. What about THE MOOCH from the White House? There were rumors about him weren’t there?
They should hire that brother that Omarosa wronged during Apprentice. I forgot his name, but she was instrumental in getting him fired – He might be good and ripe for the pickings now ;0)
Oh god the Mooch would be GOLDEN. I might watch for Omarosa.
Brandi, ugh. Why.
There were rumors about The Mooch but they seemed far-fetched to me. There are only 10 seats at the dining room table so it may be that there is an early eviction rather than another houseguest added. I hope it’s not someone who is going to bring a lot of drama. I truly dislike Omorosa but please keep her in for a while.
I’ll be watching! It’s about time we got Celebrity BB here!
I’ve never watched before but I’ll give it a try. I’m a Ross Matthews fan and Brandi seems like she’d bring some crazy.
I will be watching the train coming off the rails with you. I watch BB after dark but don’t buy the feeds.
ADMIN EDIT. PLEASE READ THE COMMENTING RULES BEFORE COMMENTING.
Be ready sometimes it’s things you wish you never knew and you want to scrub your eye balls with a Brillo Pad.
People having sex and cleaning up with a dish towel then using the towel to do dishes.
Picking scabs and boogers and eating them.
Some people are just nasty.
OMG this is gettin juicy! <>. This is gonna be a lot of fun! Hopefully my DVR won’t overheat with Olympics every day and Celebrity Big Brother four times a week. Come on February!
This will be a lot different from the usual Big Brother casts comprised of a majority of young, very narcissistic people, plus the oddball, the old, wise person whom they either hate or love, the gay person, the nutcase, and maybe one “normal” person. It’ll be interesting to see how these people team up. For sure, Omarasa and Brandi will bump heads, but then Omarosa will have to be Queen Bee so she’ll piss off most of them. Looking forward to this.
Omg I agree I call Big brother cast the Village People
1 Waitress
1 Gay guy
1 Cowboy
1 Old Person
1 Surf dude
1 Super fan
ect ect and almost all of them but the super fan and the old person think they are going to be famous after it’s over
Omarosa is one of the very few people that really gets up under my skin. I’ve seen her at a couple of parties, she is HORRIBLE!! She treats wait staff like they are her personal servants and orders them around, she will not speak to anyone that isn’t (in her eyes) some one. She is a loser and a big time poser. When she was still working at the White House she got married and between the wedding and her reception she used her security clearance to roll up to the White House and snap wedding pictures on the grounds without permission. YUCK!!!!
Am I the only one that is disinterested in the line up ?
No
It’s very lackluster. I was really pulling for Tiffany “New York” Pollard!
From White House Correspondent to Celebrity Big Brother. Get it Omarosa!
I will actually be watching this season of Big Brother and I haven’t watched the last several. I wonder if it will be the same format as the UK or if it will be US style (which I prefer). Hopefully they rig it to keep the ladies in though.
I was really hoping for Johnny Bananas, but I’m definitely in!
I was hoping for Johnny Bananas, too. But I’ll still watch for Omarosa.
I wish Claudia Jordan was on it. She can go toe to toe with Omarosa. Sadly, I don’t think Brandi is smart enough. I think Keisha can do it as well. Will be watching.
I love Claudia but I’d hate to see her get used by people. She is smart and athletic but I couldn’t see her wanting to do this. She seems low conflict.
Although…I feel so our of touch because I don’t know who most of these people are.
I was hoping it was going to be Diana Ross, Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Tom Cruise, Britney, ppl like that but I guess my hopes were a big stretch…wouldn’t you guys love to see Aretha in the kitchen with her hair wrapped up in a scarf cooking up 1 of her delicious meals?… I’ll be watching just the same.
If Aretha was playing, she would win. She is one who could deal with Omarosa!
Omg. That would be a great line up. I’d love to see Britney.
Sorry TT, I’m in, lol. Hoping I learned EVERYTHING I had to from all my questions about BB19.
?
Actually, this season was the first season I figured out basically how Survivor is played, after watching season after season, so there is hope. ?
I can’t get behind the name “Metta World Peace”
Not that anyone asked me to, mind you.
This os a step up from Omarosa’s last gig. At the very least, it’s a lateral move.
No she will write several books and keep milking her 15 minutes for years….or try to. If that doesn’t work she will play victim again and again. Ugh can’t we deport her with Joe Guidice?? I vote to evict Omerosa to another cuntry.
Since its the first season here, it hopefully won’t be over acted.
That’s always such a sure way these actors can ruin a reality show. Lol.
I’m excited for Omarosa, she always brings unnecessary drama. Remember The Surreal Life when she called Janice Dickinson a crackhead? Or Celebrity Apprentice when she went after LaToya Jackson who then said “her husband just died of a heart attack and I wouldn’t be surprised if she did it to him”.
Brandi was literally just on CBBUK although she was suprisingly boring and didn’t cause any drama.
Didn’t Omeresa Fiancee die of a Heart attack?
The guy that was on Green Mile?.
I have never watched the British version. Will they have the losing team eat the slop, and sleep on the uncomfortable beds, and will there be the rain soaked challenges?
Where does one watch the UK version, BBC?
Youtube. Someone posts the shows about an hour after they air in the UK. They also air a show called Bit On The Side that is fun to watch. They talk about the show that aired that night.
Brandi & Omarosa are like Whack A Moles, no matter how hard they are hit, they pop back up in a different hole
I’d hAve liked to see Phaedra in there with Omarosa, aren’t they both ordained ministers? Will Oma use national security to dodge questions? Who will be the first to mention Cosby to Keisha?
NOBODY HOT.
I mean seriously. Not a one. They even found a fugly MMA fighter. I didn’t think that was possible.
PASS
Miss Colombia 2015.
I will watch! A great cast.
I’m watching -huge BB fan!
Didn’t Matt Iseman go off Twitter for awhile saying he is going to his ” Brothers”?
And I wanted Gary Busby and Charlie Sheen
I have CBS All Access for Star Trek so I’ll have it for the feeds. At least part of them. Not sure I’ll keep it as Pop’s nightly live show is generally enough for me.
Feeds were up for a few minute preview yesterday!
Will they have POP for Allstars? Or Live feeds even?
Yes for CBB they have POP and feeds.
