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 .
I’m going to have to rely on you TT for the recaps as I don’t think we will get this in 🇬🇧. I’ve not watch BB in the UK in years, but Tamar and Kandi locked in a house together = good TV!
(Sending ❤️ from Scotland 😘)
You can count on me! 🙂
Tamara, is it ok to talk about the live feeds in comments this year? If not, I won’t post anything from feeds. So excited for Monday night premiere!
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.
This doesn’t mean she’s leaving RHOA… this isn’t a permanent gig.
I can’t wait to see Kandi and Tamar interact. They share a BFF, Tiny Harris, and used to hang in the same girl squad. But Tamar fell out with all of them around the time she got fired from the real including Kandi!
Oh this is some good information.
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.
Yesssss! I forgot about that! They kicked Tamar off The Great Xscape tour after that night she tried to bring on TS Madison and Khia on stage! LOL This could be juicy LOL
I don’t know Khia but TS Madison is all kinds of crazy. Tamar is messy.
You may know her from such hits as “my neck, my back, lick my 🐱 and my crack…” and… well that’s it.
Well that sounds lovely.
A moment on the lips… a lifetime of herpes sores.
Why would Kandi do this?
She has 2 kids and doesn’t need the money or fame.
Hannah, fame or infamous?
Kandi can never have enough coin. Money seems to mean more to her than anything else in the world. Except maybe food…lol…she talks about food/eating a lot.
Can you imagine what she’ll be like when she’s on slop for a week?!? She will turn feral!!! LOLOL
and kinky sex, plain sex, sex toys, etc., etc.
I had the same thought. Maybe she feels she’ll get more mainstream recognition if she’s on a commercial nework .
Tom Green was married to Drew Barrymore for a couple of years in the early 2000’s. He has an ‘out-there’ sense of humor. I’m interested to see what he will be like in the house.
We will be watching, I am hoping there aren’t too many physical challenges for this group. I feel that
Tamar/Kandi will be strong in the manipulation arena.
excellent
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.
Anthony Scaramucci is the wealthiest person. He owns Skybridge, a HUGE hedge fund. He could legitimately be a billionaire.
Yes!! I’m seriously wondering why he even considered joining.. I find him quite charming and I’m hoping he’ll spill a little tea on what the White House was like/his thoughts on how 45 is doing now.. Tuning in for him and for our gal Kandi 🙂
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.
How will this affect Kandi’s contract with Bravo? Also, I previously heard that Kim Z, was going to be on Big Brother!
It won’t have any effect on her contract with Bravo. Did you hear all this from Kim Z? lol
Kim Z, bless her heart, wouldn’t last 2 hours in the Big Brother house. She’d self-evict as soon as the pressure started. Kroy would be in the car waiting for her in the CBS Studios parking lot.
LOL
Ahh there will no shortage of drama here. Looking forward to watching and reading your recaps.
Drama is guaranteed.
Updated!
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 can see Kandi & Todd getting a kick out of her doing it. I cannot wait! I loved the last celebrity big brother!
I’m gutted, for a split second I thought this was celeb big brother here in the UK. I’m not a fan of the American version but will watch for Kandi.
Kandi and Tamar fell out over the Khia drama on the Great xscape Tour.
OMG when will I sleep? Will be on the live feeds 24/7. Kandi on celebrity bb is a wish come true I never knew I had.
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!
Kandi does anything for a dollar
I’m watching for White Oprah and The Mooch! I hope they make it far as I would watch the live feeds for either of them!
I’m so excited, can’t wait! The cast sounds like it should be pretty volatile and love the combo of Kandi, Tamar, Lolo and Dina. There could some good female drama. The Mooch could be a lot of fun or a real bomb. I think Kato may lay low. And the others, we’ll see very soon.
Ready for a break from the Winter nothingness.
I’ve had side eye for Tamar ever since watching Towanda on Starting Over, and seeing how domineering she was. Also, Joey Lawrence heartthrob-dom and ‘Blossom’ was the 90’s – pointing this because I’m feeling personally attacked by you ageing me in this way ;P
Ah, haven’t heard mention of Starting Over in eons!
I watched that and even saw Rhonda and Iyanla on tour, speaking. Rhoda was pretty amazing in person.
Starting over!! Oh my gosh, I remember that show (vaguely). It’s funny Towanda is the only I can really recall from the show. Those were the “early” days of Reality TV-like 2003-4 or something. That’s when these shows were still (mostly) real.
I think Lisa Rinna was on the show if I recall correctly.
I like Kandi but don’t see her doing well being away from her comfort zone. She is a low-key diva for sure (and definitely earned bc she’s a hard worker). The isolation will do her in.
I’ve never watched Big Brother or CBB, but with this case I’m definitely setting my DVR. I love Kandi and Tamar is gonna cause some major drama. Ryan Lochte comes off as a dummy so that should be fun. The icing on the cake is THE MOOCH!! This should be called Just Past Halfway to Crazy Land but that’s not catchy at all. Lol
I can hardly wrap my head around this assortment of characters! Personally, it’s hard for me to see how any celebrity agrees to do this show. But I’ll be reading your recaps!
Ricky Willams was a very talented football player who walked away from the game because he preferred to smoke weed.
Ive never watched this show.. I may check it out for the dramatics
Is Lolo still a virgin? She was very vocal about that a few years ago. She has an interesting back story about her childhood.
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?
I’m super excited about this season. I love Kandi and love to hate Eva Marie. I was a little nervous about the cast when I heard rumours that Kaitlin Jenner was cast but I guess they couldn’t meet all the demands.
I hope there are no quitters this year!
Another show I may watch as the lineup is ripe for extreme drama! The washed up “celebrities” will be battling for screen time with the screen whores. Ah yes. Let’s play 😁
Tamara, I’m surprised you never got into Celeb Big Brother UK, it’s a million times better than the US version (although it’s been cancelled. You can still find them on youtube though)
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.
I didn’t watch the last Celebrity one, but I might have to catch this one (or at least your updates!)
Wait. Andy Cohen was ok with this?!! My friends that work at NBC say he is pissy AF. Also the reason she got “jackhole of the day.”
I have never watched CBB, but I will this season.
I want to see how Kandi relates to people who are not her frenemies or “Factory Clique.” I would like to see Braxton and Lochte leave early.
I would like to see Kandi last until the end but I want Eva Marie, “All Red Everything” take home all the green everything.
So we have another token football player (hopefully this one won’t quit), another former Trump staffer (anyone is better than Omarosa), token former hot man (Mark McGrath) but Joey Lawrence is still hot albeit broke. What we are missing this season is the comedic relief of the flamboyant gay man! WTF?
Can’t wait for this season to start! Kandi is going to be interesting to watch…
Can’t wait for BB on Monday (and Shameless is back Sunday). I’m curious to see how often Dina gets called in to take meds. Dina may just walk out of the house at some point. Kandi has a decent chance if she keeps it together.
They are in the house. Brief sneak peek on feeds just before and after 2pm BB time today.
Based on a comment Kato made to Ryan, Ryan is HOH.
Does Tamar always shave her head?
Spoiler alert or Crazy alert?
Live feeds were on for a 15 minute sneak peak yesterday, and within a few minutes there was a GIF on Twitter of Kandi eating in the Big Brother house! Love Kandi and her love for good food! I hope she goes far in the game.
