anyone have any clue as to how many house guests they might have?
I always do a pool for work and with this i'm not sure if there will be way less than a usual season.
How many people were usually in the Celebrity BBUK seasons?

Saw the first ad on CBS last night for Celebrity BB. It was very short and said they couldn't tell us who would be in the house, but that it starts on February 7th. That was it. Maybe we'll get more tidbits every week till then.

They’ll probably get Bret Michaels. He qualifies as a celebrity and he obviously enjoys reality shows.

Realityjunkie, I checked the numbers of HGs the last 3 years on CBBUK (not including this year), and the had 15, 18, and then 15 again.

It's just different, though. For example, finale night there are sometimes 6 people still in the house in the UK version.

From what I'm seeing (or NOT seeing) it doesn't appear that they have any celebrities willing to put up with this crap.



I'm not gonna sign up for feeds until I'm absolutely SURE I won't be viewing an empty BB house.

So they built a roof over the backyard, I am wondering what in the world for, why do they need a roof since they have already said they probably won't keep it for the real show.

For rain, but maybe to discourage flyover looking to get pictures of "celebrities".

I agree with that Sea- I could totally see one of the gossip sites try and send a drone in or something (and of course this could change, but the LA weather for the timeframe looks OK for the most part)

I'd think we'd start to hear about some of the cast in a couple of weeks- I'd think they'd intro some of them on the Talk, and we'll probably get more commercials around the AFC Championship game on the 21st..(Though we don't know how many we're going to have- I'd be shocked if it's over 10 because of the concentrated schedule)

Rosem, I can't see any "celebrity" putting up with eating slop and sleeping in a "have not" room.

Lexie, that's what I was thinking, too. I wonder if they will be making any 'adjustments' to lure celebrities to come into the house - like no slop or have nots.

Unless their career is totally in the toilet, I can't picture a celebrity wanting to do Big Brother.

I still have a strong feeling that Thorsten Kaye will be on the show. (Ridge from Bold and Beautiful)

Oooh Naja! I love Thorsten Kaye. I know him from All My Children.

I was thinking they may try for Tonya Harding as well, Maris.

Very sad, Roxip.

Huh! About Tonya Harding rumors. I have never clicked on the links, but just recently have seen headlines about Tonya Harding and wondered how she could possibly be back in the news. Haven't been curious enough to read any of the stories, though. And the headlines don't give away much.

Juju, they made a movie about the incident that was recently released so naturally the news shows decided that meant she needed to be interviewed.

My sister told me that her 2 daughters (18 And 21) asked her who is Tonya Harding. They never heard of her before. It made me feel old. Lol!

I heard the movie got really good reviews which was a shocker to me.

Allison Janey played her Mom and in an interview I saw said she really couldn't believe how bad Tonya's childhood "probably" was. So I guess it was pretty poignant and of course, her real Mom says there wasn't any abuse.

Tonya was on dateline or one of those shows last night.

Was doing some looking around, and for those who think that the show is too short, the German version of CBB goes the same amount of time (17 days) with 12 HG's it is a different format of course- though they do use a have/have-not house split, here's a bit on last season:

So theoretically they could do 12, but I think 10 is more likely.

Honestly stars that DWTS invest more time than 24hrs x 17 days. So I am thinking anyone that did DWTS would do this

Except there is much much more personal exposure on BB and inevitably some of it is negative. There is very little upside for a "successful" star to do BB. It may work for someone who is a waning star or not so successful star or someone who is trying to rehabilitate their image.
