Kandi Burruss Will Be On Celebrity Big Brother! Check Out The New Cast!

January 13, 2019 by tamaratattles 66 Comments

So I wonder what Kandi’s relationship with Tamar Braxton is like. They don’t seem to have personalities that would work well together. Kandi is very laid back and Tamar is usually turnt all the way up!  How is this going to work out? Kandi can go off under pressure though and I think it will be hard for her to have no contact with Todd and the kids.

Here is the list of the twelve celebrity houseguests who will be appearing on the new season of Celebrity Big Brother. I cannot WAIT to see how all of this works out. I will be first and foremost watching this show over all others. I wonder if I canceled by live feed subscription! I really need to get that back if I did. I am obsessed with the live feeds.

Ryan Lochte, Olympic swimmer who lied about being robbed at the Olympics in Brazil.

Kato Kaelin, came to fame by living in OJ Simpson’s pool house when he murdered his ex wife and her male friend.

Ricky Williams, token athlete, NFL player.

Jonathan Bennett, he was on Mean Girls with Lindsay Lohan and currently hosts the after show for Lohan’s Beach Club.

Lolo Jones, Olympic hurdler and a bobsledder

Joey Lawrence, eighties heartthrob after his appearance on Blossom, and former Chippendale dancer.

Dina Lohan, the woman who gave Lindsay Lohan to the world. She also briefly had a really bad reality show, Living Lohan.

Tamar Braxton, Toni Braxton’s loud obnoxious sister whose diva behaviors got her kicked off of The Talk. I think she is still in the middle of divorcing her manager husband.  Maybe. She will be loud and obnoxious in the house.

Tom Green, random crazy person from MTV.

Kandi Burruss, Grammy winner and Real housewife of Atlanta.

Natalie Eva Marie,  former WWE wrestler who appears on the reality show Total Divas. 

Anthony Scaramucci, THE MOOCH! was very briefly Donald Trump’s White House Communications Director in July of 2017 who was fired after several disparaging comments about then White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

These 12 Celebrity Houseguests will live together in the iconic Big Brother house, which is outfitted with 80 HD cameras and over 100 microphones capturing their every move, 24 hours a day, with zero contact to the world beyond its walls. Each week, one or more Celebrity Houseguests will be evicted from the house, and the last one remaining will take home the grand prize of $250,000!

Watch the two-night premiere event of Celebrity Big Brother on Monday, Jan. 21 and Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 8/7c .

          Yes! We love love feed updates. Big Brother is the exception to all the spoiler, live feed rules. I haven’t signed up for feeds yet! I’ve been busy kind of . I am always working but I feel like I am working in sludge, typing slower, thinking slower, getting less done. I have gotten serious about my diet and water intake in an attempt to fix the issue. I need to be on top of my game for Big Brother season!

            There was another 15-minute live feeds “leak” at 11am BB time (PST). Dina was talking to Kandi and Tom and made reference to there being three (!) nominees. Nominees could be Tom/Dina/Kandi, but not sure. Ryan/Joey seem to be in an alliance. Joey is looking like the villain of the show so far.

      I won’t watch the show but will read the updates as well. What a huge loss for RHOA, the whole franchise and Bravo. IMO, KB is by far the most interesting Housewife. She has it all, talent, class, money and takes care of those she loves. She’s also a great business person who calls her own shots. As Tamara wrote in an earlier blog post, Bravo wants to go younger and Kandi being the savvy business person she is struck first. I love it! Best of luck to her! She is the type of person I want on my side/family.

        Tamar also toured with Xscape a couple of years ago and caused a bunch of drama by bringing on two YouTube stars, Khia and TS Madison, who had previously trashed kandi’s good friend Toya Wright and her daughter by Lil Wayne. This will be good!

        Kandi posted a video from a plane this morning that she would be pulling away from social media for a month. Now it makes sense.

    Big Brother has made me return to the show, a cast made for reality TV. Several hot tempered women and men who could take BB fights to the top, no idea why this has me gleefully smiling.
    Kato Kaelin plus other men are laid back, non confrontational. It will be interesting to watch the publicly polite men, Ryan L., Kato K., plus, with the loud opinionated, in you face women. (publicly because I’ve no clue how they behave privately)

    Curious to see how the cast will react to Tom Green’s antics, since several of the women do not seem to have a sense of humor .
    I’m assuming money is a factor for a few of these characters. Will the possibility of winning money change how they play or interact with others. Will they be able to not revert back to their real selves?
    Hope this cast will produce the drama and laughs I want and need to see.
    I need 2019 to be lighter, intriguing, and joyful.

    p.s. I read your New Year comments, wishing all of you the best, especially you TT.

      Do they even get the prize money or is it for charity? I watched season 1 but I cant remember. Kandi don’t need the money as far as I know anywat. It’s more of a career re-starter for most, to get their names out there again.

        The “celebrities” get the money. Most of them are poor. Kandi is probably the wealthiest person ever on Celebrity Big Brother US. A lot of these people NEED the money.

            It’s not unusual for people with hedge funds to out-leverage themselves and end up in trouble. Or to exaggerate how much they had in real, liquid assets in the first place.

      Looking forward to your recaps on Celebrity Big Brother. It’ll be funny if the producers ration the housemates food like in previous seasons here in the UK. Kandi will flip her lid lol!

      Watched the video you posted thinking it was going to be some CBB Tea. She makes a convincing argument. The truth probably lies somewhere inbetween but I do believe her about the “we speak on what production tells us to speak on” stuff. I wonder why she didn’t address her husband insinuating Porsha was drunk and reverted to type?

    I am so freakin’ excited about this CBB cast. It’s a combination of people who’ll bring loads of drama plus several athletes who’ll be good at physical comps.

    I’m thrilled for Kandi and happy we’ll get to see new sides of her, especially with the 24/7 live feeds. I’m gonna take a total guess that she’s not a BB superfan, so her best strategy will be to lay low for the first week, get a feel for how the game works, and play a good social game with the the rest of the cast.

    I’ve heard Kandi say on WWHL that she’s competitive, plus this is a great way to grow her fan base even more. So it makes sense for her to be on the show. It’ll be tough, but she has a chance to go really far in the game. So looking forward to this!

    I just started watching BB last season, I was obsessed! Am excited for a new season and my first celebrity season. But, do you have any celebrity that just grates on your last nerve? Not just someone you don’t like but more like complete irrational loathing, for me that person is Tamar Braxton. I can’t imagine lasting 30 seconds with her, 30 days? NOPE
    Totally surprise Kandi is doing the show but she will be interesting to watch, especially since she doesn’t need to money she may not last.
    Dina Lohan will do anything for dollars and attention, can’t wait to see her trainwreck self.
    I doubt the Mooch will say anything new, he has been talking to press every chance he has had since leaving the White House.
    I’m pretty close to broke, normal people broke not celebrity broke and no way does 250,000 seem like enough to do this show. Would you do it?

    Don’t underestimate Eva Marie in bringing the drama – she’s a former WWE Diva “heel” after all! Unless she has let herself go since she parted ways from WWE, she’s going to be extremely difficult to beat in any physical challenges. Wrestling might be fake drama, but it is very real athleticism.
