We finally have the cast list for Celebrity Big Brother. I can’t say I am overly impressed. Cynthia Bailey and Teddi Mellencamp will both be in the house, for this very short season. I doubt either of them will bring much drama to the show, but hopefully, I will be pleasantly surprised.
Joining the housewives, will be Lamar Odom, and Shanna Moakler who are both sort of Kardashian adjacent since Shanna is Travis Bakers ex and Travis and Courtney are drinking eat others blood or something these days.
Also in the house will be original Queer Eye expert Carson Kressley, NSYNC alum Chris Kirkpatrick, singer Todrick Hall, actor Todd Bridges, figure skater Mirai Nagasu, UFC champ Miesha Tate and comedian Chris Kattan.
I have so many questions. How are there going to be 12 people in the house and only four episodes? I’m not optimistic about this whole “season.”
The season premieres on Wednesday, Feb. 2, on CBS with the finale airing on Wednesday, Feb. 23. Will you be watching?
I’ve never watched ‘Big Brother’ or ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ before. But they’ve got me with Carson Kressley.
I haven’t either. Is there a motive to subject oneself to another reality show besides trying to stretch that 15 minutes?
I copy and paste exactly what you said! Love, love, love Carson.
Yeah. Carson will bring the fun. 🙂
It’s odd that they’re running it at the same time as the Olympic’s, and that is quite a full house for 4 weeks. I’m not overly impressed with the cast, but I’m a diehard BB fan so I will watch. Hopefully Teddi will be evicted first.
Wow I didn’t even think about the Olympics running at the same time. How the hell will that work? This season makes no sense at all.
I’m good with it because I never watch the Olympics. I’m not sure what CBS was thinking with the timing & this cast.
I just realized it the Olympics are on NBC so it should not effect CBB at all. HOWEVER DOOL will not air on NBC for two whole weeks in February. WHYYYYY Everyone is possessed by the devil, getting whacked and kidnapped, cheating on their spouse, and getting arrested for crimes they did not commit. WAH!!!!!
What is DOOL? Sounds right up my alley!
Nevermind, Days of our lives………may have to start watching now. Hmmmm.
Isn’t everyone boycotting the Olympics?
It is more of a political boycott. Certain countries, such as the USA, are still sending athletes but will not be sending country representatives such as politicians, ambassadors, etc. as a form of boycott. Kind of lame but they didn’t want to fuck over the athletes for a second time.
I’ll be watching for sure. The season is 4 weeks long but some weeks have up to 5 episodes. My VCR will be trying to fit them in, especially if I try to recored the Olympics. Should be fun.
I wonder if they got a bed long enough for Lamar. He is 6′ 10″ tall.
Oh God. This is going to be a problem to record.
I am already seeing alot of Lamar and Chris Kattan standing next to each other jokes. I think it is a good mix of people, minus Teddi. I am looking forward to it!
I could watch Carson eating a bagel. He is SO amusing. The other’s? Other than Chris Kattan, seems ho hum-
Of all the desperate, thirsty AF, current and former Housewives out there, why would they pick 2 of the most milquetoast from the whole franchise? I like Cynthia, but as TT says neither she nor Teddi are likely to bring the drama like Brandi and even Kandi did on the previous two CBB seasons. I’ll keep an open mind cuz I love Big Brother. My expectations are super low so guess that leaves room to be pleasantly surprised
Pretty sure the person casting for Big Brother has never watched RH’s because they casted two of the most boring HW’s in the history of the franchise. LOL! I’ll pass on this. Teddi doesn’t make good TV at all.
I will be watching and reading your recaps! I am excited about Carson and Cynthia.
This may turn out to be a problem for Cynthia Bailey. Word on Mama Joyce’s streets are that CHILL is not so chill after all. They are not getting along. He’s been accused of sending nudes to some anonymous woman. But that isn’t backed up with any facts.
HOWEVER Mike went on a podcast, by himself, where he talked about their marital issues. They apparently got in a fight recently on their one year anniversary. Mike has openly admitted he has always been a player.
Maybe she will flirt with Lamar LOL. THAT would at least liven it up!😊
I think I’m actually rooting for Todd Bridges, LOL (shows how exciting I am expecting it to be) But, I am going to be positive and dedicated as well.
Awww, I think it is sweet you are rooting for Todd Bridges. Me too! I have never watched this show but I’m going to this time. I’m on the outside of this apparently but I actually like Teddi. I think Tamara is right though, Teddi and Cynthia will not bring it. Like Harlan said earlier, there are so many thirsty Brandi-ish housewives past and present they could have chosen. I adore Carson, I’d watch him fold his laundry.
Yay Tennessee. 😊
Hi Cheryl,
I have thinking about your family everyday & will continue to send good thoughts & prayers your way 🥰
Awww, thank you.💛
We are going to be okay.
I forget it’s only been 6 weeks, seems like 6 years!
OMG, that would be hilarious.
It’s all very Drag Race adjacent too. Todrick is a frequent guest judge, Carson is a judge and Shangela was on the list to be in the house until this final cast. 4 episodes? Okay!
Not four episodes; four weeks. Many episodes per week.
Lol “celebrity”
Bingo!
Is there some streaming option or something, in addition to the on-air show?
Regular Big Brother has live feeds. I can’t remember if CBB does or not it has been so long, but MAYBE? That is why I subscribe to cbs.com Which is now called Paramount. I’ll let you know. I feel like I watched Tamar Braxton doing all her ish. And ultimately win last season. Last season was REALLY GOOD.
They’re having live feeds again for this season…I’m subscribing to Paramount+ this weekend since they usually have a ~30 min “feeds leak” (I know, that sounds vulgar) before the actual premiere night
I may be the only one, but I am excited for Chris Kattan. He is either going to be really entertaining and funny or really werid. And I want to see how Todrick Hall and Cynthia interact together.
I feel like I should know who Chris Kattan is, but y’all know my brain in a mess during all this Covid. He seems to have potential to be interesting. Especially if he hangs out with Carson. 🙂 They could probably bring a lot of nefarious and hilarious stuff to the show.
Cynthia unconvincingly claimed to having left Real Housewives and reality tv so that she could spend more time with Mike and also acting so going away into the Big Brother house speaks volumes. I think her struggles on the Ultimate Girls trip shows Cynthia is awkward with an unfamiliar environment and people . I suspect she knows that her marriage to Mike is already crumbling based on recent events . High energy celebs such as Carson and Todrick should be fun to watch, although Todrick might easily annoy the less vibrant cast members including Lamar such as singing and dancing impromptu , which I am sure is Big Brother’s intention .
What the heck is Teddi Mellencamp going to add to the house? Lectures in the kitchen over food choices? Cracking the whip in a work out area? Titillating conversations regarding their health choices? I predict she will either be extremely annoying to everyone within the first week, or no one will notice her existence as she hovers in the peripherals hoping for an alliance with someone.
In the words of Randy Jackson and the great Tamara Tattles, “This is a no for me, dawg.”
The only thing that will keep me from Celebrity Big Brother is Olympian Figure Skating although, men’s double luge is pretty hot too. 🙂
Pervert.
Okay, cameras ready, comments coming, the wind is knocking out our $300/month stoopid Wi-Fi. Praying for calm.💛
It’s CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER DAY MOTHER F**KERS!!!!😊
(AH HA, always wanted to say that)
And the good news is that Cheryl is coming back to help recap the live feeds in comments!
That is good news!
I’m so excited! According to Julie Chen there are going to be 2 eliminations per week because it’s only 4 weeks long. Looking forward to the recaps.
It’s insane how expensive our internet/tv services have become in Vegas.
I just thought of something.
The table settings are for 12, and we are only aware of 11 celebrities as of now.
Duh duh duh…………?
Or dun, dun, dun…….?
Well that could be interesting.
