ZZZzzzzz list celebs no doubt. But at least they do tend to act more like normal people than when there are big stars and negotiate their own room/hairdresser etc.

On the rumor list I just read, I recognized a couple names... Lil Kim and Samantha Fox (80's flashback-yikes). Two others from tabloid type stuff, but I don't know much about them... Azealia Banks and a Mob Wife (don't watch that show).

Rumor has it Renee Graziano from the Mob Wives will be in the CBB House. Last year it had been rumored that Big Ang of the Mob Wives was going to be in CBB 2015, however, because of her cancer treatments she was not on the show. Sadly, Big Ang passed away this past February. Can't imagine how RG will get on with others and what the British public will think of her but they I wouldn't mind if they kept her over there.

The Daily Star claim they have the leaked cast list for tomorrow. Don't know if they're correct or not, but don't read on if you don't want to know.
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/tv/big-brother/533088/Revealed-CBB-Celebrity-Big-Brother-2016-full-line-up-celebs-house
Sam Fox: PAGE 3 model icon in the 80s. Had a pop career. Left devastated when partner Myra Stratton died of cancer.
Chloe Mafia: X FACTOR star, 25, in 2010. A sex tape sparked her porn webcam business. Now a millionaire.
Marnie Simpson: GEORDIE Shore babe, 24, a fave on MTV hit. Her on/off relationship with Aaron Timlin kept viewers hooked. This year came out as bisexual.
Lewis Bloor: TOWIE badboy, 26, famed for his relationships on the reality show. He quit this year and is working on his own fitness app.
Saira Khan: LOOSE Women star, 46, runner-up on first series of The Apprentice. Fronted shows including Guess This House.
Colin Newell: STAR of Storage Hunters UK. Known for intense rivalry with Sean Kelly while bidding for mystery items in lock-ups.
James Whale: RADIO host, 65, accused of racial abuse on Radio Kent. Fired by TalkSport in 2008 for breaching impartiality rules.
Stephen Bear: DATED Jungle queen Vicky Pattison after they fell for each other while filming Ex On The Beach. He returns for the show’s fifth series.
Grant Bovey: TELLY star Anthea Turner’s ex, 54. Hit headlines for promoting a chocolate bar in their wedding pictures. He had an affair and they split.
Frankie Grande: YOUTUBER, 33, and brother of pop star Ariana Grande. Was on US version of Big Brother. Sis gave him taste of fame at her red carpet nights.
Ricky Norwood: SHAMED EastEnders star’s Fatboy role was killed off last Christmas after a vid leaked of Ricky, 27, performing a sex act and smoking weed.
Renee Graziano: MOB Wives star, 48, had lots of bust-ups in reality series. Has talked openly about fighting depression and surviving domestic violence.
Christopher Biggins: COMEDY legend, 67, has played panto dames for 40 years. Found fame in hit TV show Porridge. Was 2007 King of the Celeb Jungle.
Aubrey O’Day: POP babe, 32, shot to fame in US girl group Danity Kane. Has dated celebs including Jersey Shore’s Pauly D but is up for a lesbian romance.
Katie Waissel: WACKY X Factor flop, 30, was hated by viewers. Got hitched to Brad Alphonso in 2012 but split after two months. Now wed to comic Brian Moote.
Frankie Grande is of course the one from the US BB house. I'm sure he can liven things up. Ricky Norwood's soap character was really a nice guy, but I know he (the actor) has had drug issues and I don't know much about his personality. Biggins is always fun. I don't mind Sam Fox. The rest seem like the usual reality tv characters.

Hey Kitt....It will be interesting to see how Frankie Grande acts in the UK house - - it's a totally different game from the US.
I can't see Renee Graziano doing well in the house and liked by the UK viewers unless they find her antics entertaining. Watching her on Mob Wives made me cringe.

Well scratch one name from one of the lists off- Beth Chapman (Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife) was supposed to be on but they denied her a visa due to past criminal situations..

There's an additional BOTS on Sundays, apparently, so I need to add this to the tv schedule above:
Sun31 2-3pm BOTS (on 5*)
It's on 5* rather than regular Ch5 so might be more difficult to find live.
Looks like the Daily Star were right about the contestants. Let's see how it goes for the next few weeks!

I have to laugh at some of the tweets about Frankie going in...
Joshua Fox @joshua_fox Jul 26
Ariana Grande's brother Frankie heading into #CBB on Thursday. I guess they couldn't find anyone with a Kardashian connection.
bbspy @bbspy 19h19 hours ago
@BigBrotherCA does international housemates and gets legends Nikki and Tim. @bbuk does it and gets Frankie bloody Grande. #doh #CBB
and an interesting first twist: during the premiere, the audience votes as to who they wanted to be the first Secret Boss- they chose Christopher. While everyone was wearing headphones with music, BB cut into Christopher's headphones and told him he had immunity and had the power to nominate people for eviction.....but BB also cut into everyone else's headphones and told them the real task- without letting Christopher know they know about his power, they have to try and get themselves nominated by him...because the ones he picks will actually be immune from the first eviction.

Whoah...way to encourage bad behavior right off the bat, eh? God only knows what Frankie will do to get nommed. If only he could actually be voted off the first week.
Can't wait until Renee's first fight. When the woman on the panel on Bit on the Side said there were a lot of layers to Renee, she was spot on. I see a breakdown coming.

I don't know if there's a benefit to pretending to be horrible - even if it ends up with you being immune for one eviction - because it's so hard to shake off feelings you have about someone, especially if it's your first impression. Probably wiser to just be nice and hope that out of the ones who aren't immune, you wouldn't be targeted. That's assuming they are nice people of course, and that might be a big assumption ;).

Cricket, I wonder if they are taking bets on when the Renee's first fight will be. She repeatedly says that she LOVES people but just don't fvck with her. What she fails to mention is that it takes very little to fvck with her.

I just saw the Launch episode, out of curiosity, but CBB is just not my idea of big brother, these people should have better things to do, they're supposedly from arts and entertainment, what are they doing in BB? I actually find them depressing, they really should be doing something better with their talents.
Will give a quick look of what comes next but I don't think they're interesting enough to continue watching.

They're not exactly top talent! Biggins is probably the biggest name (in the UK), and I think he still does a lot of stuff, but being on CBB has been quite a boost for some past hms, so I think he sees it as a way to revive his career a little. Or maybe just extra cash.
Most of the other Brits are reality show people, so I don't really know that they have better things to do ;).

On first impressions my guess is the Mob Wife is going to get kicked out for threatening someone. (I assumed the show wasn't about the actual mafia/mob... it doesn't seem like something anyone would want to advertise.)
Marnie = Charlotte from a few years ago. And last time Charlotte won :|.
Bear = male Marnie??? Pet peeve of mine is belligerent ignorance. It's okay to not know things, but to argue that the world is flat is just playing for attention.
I'm pretty sure I watched the X-Factor season with Katie, and don't remember anything bad about her, but that's not how it sounded in the VT. The other X-Factor one, Chloe the playboy one, seems awful.
The Boom guy could get annoying if he doesn't calm down, although he seems like a pretty regular guy otherwise. Can't help thinking that Biggins thought he was looking at himself from 30 years ago (minus the "boom").

Kitt, I guess you're right, they may not have better things to do, but that lady Saira, I think, wants out because she misses her kids and so she is first nominated. Also, some of them are there just for the fun and a bit of exposure but they don't mind at all leaving early.
The old man who does the nomination is funny and I like his sense of humour but he may leave soon too, I remember another CBB and the old man there couldn't take another day in the house.
There is a woman that reminds me a lot Charlie, the same profile. Frankie, I really don't know what the heck he's doing there, really a fish out of water, I don't see him with this bunch at all, the other young men are not clicking with him at all. The other with the American accent, I never heard of her.

Saira's one who actually does have a better job to go to, as I think she's a current presenter on Loose Women. She's another one though, who probably thinks doing well on here would increase her profile.
The hms know they've switched around the nominations, the ones that Biggins "nominates" are actually the ones who are immune from nomination, so if she really wants to go home she's messed up by getting herself nominated. I think her missing her kids (although probably real) was a good excuse she could use to persuade Biggins to "nominate" her which will actually keep her safe.
I think Biggins (the old man(!)) will stick it out. He's a old fashioned tough Brit, despite his protestations. A few years ago I'd have said the show was his to lose, but these days the viewers seem to celebrate "real" people, which seems to be defined as those who either are or pretend to be as thick as two short planks (doing my best Andy West impression there).
I think Frankie's quite bright, and although at the moment he seems to not quite understand how UK BB works, he'll work it out quite soon. I wonder though if even if he works out how it works inside the house, that his diary room sessions will put off the voting public, because he's just so me me me.
James Whale isn't going to get anywhere by winding people up. But I guess that's kind of what he would do on talk radio, make everything into drama.
The kiss on the lips to nominate was a bit awkward for the first night, and was possibly why a lot of the men ran away to the garden. Sneaky how someone (Aubrey???) asked directly for a kiss almost immediately, I bet it made Biggins wonder if they knew.
