They have announced the theme, and it is "UK vs USA." I don't know that that's a good thing!
http://bigbrother.channel5.com/celebrity-big-brother-coming-channel-5-august
Start date rumoured to be around Aug 26th, but that's not official yet.
This summer, Celebrity Big Brother has thrown down the gauntlet to celebrities from both sides of the pond to take part in the ultimate CBB battle! Get ready for UK vs USA and watch the drama unfold. Who will have the stamina to reign victorious?
The housemates will play a game that could deliver huge consequences for the losers and ultimate power to the champions. Join Emma Willis for the live launch, as the housemates are revealed. Expect all the excitement of a big sporting event, as the Brits and the Yanks come head to head.
The CBB House will be decorated with British and American iconography, but the housemates will feel far from home as there will be plenty of surprises along the way. Our patriotic celebrities will need to be very competitive as the UK and USA are pitted against each other in an epic trial of tasks, challenges and twists. Viewers will be entertained with daily highlights leading up to game changing evictions. Only one thing is certain… there will be one winner. Who are you backing?
Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On the Side will return nightly with Rylan, who will be joined by a variety of celebrity panellists and an audience of CBB fans to debate hot topics, reveal exclusives and go behind the scenes of the main show.

Why do the U.S.? They won't even be considered for a win.

Just an excuse to use half US celebs since theyre scraping the barrel over there for any "celebrities" to go on the show.

Chitchat58.....Not true. Gary Busey won CBB UK in 2014.

Michelle Visage got into the final last year too.
I don't think it's anything to do with them being American, it's to do with the type of Americans they get: Perez, the Pratts, the tv guy and his blonde big boobed wife, etc. And I think that's to do with the availability of good celebs... it'd be a shock if they had better ones this year.

I hate US "celebrities" in CBB! They are never true celebrities they are either washed up has beens or reality show cast offs. I like BBUK and CBB for the UK factor, if I wanted to see Americans I would watch US BB.

"Washed-up has-beens or reality show cast-offs" can describe every CBB "celebrity", whether from the US or UK.

I dont think it will make any difference, its not like it matters who wins CBB anyway.
There is no prize, they all get paid regardless.
The real winner is the one who makes the best deal going in, and/or the first one out.

I'm less than enthusiastic about the upcoming season, but no doubt I will watch because I can't help myself!
I work Thursday afternoons so won't be able to spoil the launch, don't know if anyone else wants to...

The shows are usually on youtube within a few hours of them airing, although sometimes they are hard to find because of copyright issues. If you have a UK VPN type thingy (e.g. Hola on Chrome) you can watch them live, the times I gave above are the Pacific times the shows air. Also you can quite often find them streaming on other sites, that also get shut down because of copyright issues. It's a bit of a trial but if you keep at it you can usually find all episodes!
Btw, the cast aren't revealed yet, they're still just guessing.
