The cool thing about CBB is there should be a bigger age variety. At least the UK version does. I hope we do, too.

Mitch, Lexie- that's why they're doing it. They don't want to waste new episodes of their regular shows against the Olympics, as they know they'll lose to it. However, they also don't want to air all reruns during the Olympics, since it is a Sweeps month.

This is a cheap way to have original programming, and it'll likely do better than just reruns would, especially in the key 18-49 demographic. ABC is doing the same thing- they're planning a Bachelor in Paradise season to air during the Olympics (they're calling it the Bachelor Winter Games). It also means fewer reruns in March and April for their normal shows, so it's a bit of a win-win for everyone.

I'm just speculating how a season would work right now- I could be totally wrong about the dates, but this makes the most sense as the key dates are 2/9-2/25.

Valerie Bertinelli does several Food Network shows - not sure she would have room in her schedule. I can easily see Kathy Griffin doing it - it isn't like she has anything else to do.

I would look on other "celebrity" shows...for instance right now on Celebrity "Worst Cooks in America." Erik Estrada, several comediannes whose names I can't remember, last year there were several Housewives, some of the people from (oh what's the name of the show where all the people from New Jersey spent all their time drunk and having sex...never watched it but those people make the rounds of celebrity shows JERSEY SHORE!!! (I'm always so happy when I remember something I just can't remember...LOL!)...Kendra Wilkinson...I can see a couple of ex-professional athletes...maybe some Olympic gymnasts or something. I'm sure they will be able to pull in a group of "B" listers, or "C" listers.

I doubt they'd have Kathy on with the controversy she had.

I'm just hoping really hard that they don't have Geraldo on it.

I hope it isnt a bunch of Reality TV "celebrities" like Bachelors, ex survivors, amazing race couples, etc. I would love if hey follow the BBUK format. It is so much better, the way they do the nominations, the diary sessions. etc.

Maris, I don't think it will be. Look at how many people signed up for Survivor and DWTS.

I guess it really all depends on how much money they offer.

If Heidi and Spencer are on, I'll be agitated. They were on UK twice already.

Honestly, I hope no one I really like is on either
....LOL

The reason is-- I used to loooove Michael Madsen, but after seeing how he acted on CBBUK, I can barely look at him. I don't like him at all anymore. This show can really blow any illusions or fantasies you have about people.

"Julie said that they would not use any past Big Brother player or siblings of stars. Sorry, Frankie Grande, I guess that means you are out! She wanted people who were known outside of reality television, although wasn’t ruling out a Survivor contestant cross over!"

Thanks, Stray. I see Julie also said the show will be 90 days and the usual format, and have a jury. At least that's how I read it.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned Pauley Perette, she is a big brother fan, plays Abby on NCIS.

I would love her to be on the show but there is no way she can do 90 days.

And no one from a soap could do that many days either, only unemployed "D" list stars will have that much time to devote to this show.

Naja, in this interview Julie and AG say it'll be a condensed season...

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/big-brother-celebrity-edition-coming-cbs-1035940

(Most of the CBB UK shows go 4-6 weeks, so around 30 days is my guess. That can help them get people from things like soaps or dramas, since they can shoot scenes in advance or not have them in an ep or two. Anything more than that will be asking too much)

Thanks, Wilson. I can see now it was the poor writing skills of the author of the first article that made it look like it was going to be 90 days.

They started Survivor in March last spring Pamy, so I'd assume that'd be the plan (maybe pair the CBB finale with the Survivor premiere)

That's right. They did start Survivor a month late this past spring. I just don't get them putting on a CBB against the Winter Olympics.

It's so strange seeing those girls again. Hard to believe Jade has been gone for over 8 years already.

I know. The man in the mirror was my favorite clip. That was the morning after it all blew up and the girls were called to the diary room.
