Posted: Sun Jan 28, 2018 5:47 pm Post subject: Ron Artest to join the cast of Celebrity Big Brother |
|
|
Never seen the show but unless he provides some interesting NBA stories probably not worth watching
http://ew.com/tv/2018/01/28/celebrity-big-brother-cast-including-omarosa-revealed/
Quote: | Celebrity Big Brother cast (including Omarosa) revealed
The Olympics will not be the only star-studded televised competition happening on TV this February. (That’s depending on your definition of “star-studded,” of course.) Because in a move of counter-programming genius — or folly — CBS is rolling out a special winter celebrity edition of its Big Brother franchise on Feb. 7.
And now the network has finally revealed during the Grammys just who was crazy enough to lock themselves in a house for two-and-a-half-weeks to amuse and entertain us. (Once again, this all depends on your definition of “entertain.”) The list includes four former Celebrity Apprentice contestants as well as three Dancing with the Stars hoofers, meaning 7 of the 11 new houseguests come from one of those two shows.
The famous faces taking part in Celebrity Big Brother are:
Omarosa Manigault
The two-time Apprentice contestant and Trump campaigner departed the White House for the Big Brother house. No word on if that is trading up or trading down.
Mark McGrath
The Sugar Ray singer also did a stint on Celebrity Apprentice. He’s actually been on many a reality television program, including Celebrity Wife Swap, a guest judge on American Idol, and host of not one but TWO Pussycat Dolls shows.
Shannon Elizabeth
The American Pie star may not like living on slop if she becomes a “Have Not.” She also appeared on Dancing with the Stars, because of course she did.
Metta World Peace
The former Ron Artest won NBA Defensive Player of the Year honors as well as an NBA title. He’s also best known for the “Malice at the Palace” brawl between fans and players in Detroit while a member of the Indiana Pacers. Not that there’s ever any fighting on Big Brother.
Brandi Glanville
It wouldn’t be a celebrity reality show without a Real Housewife. This time, it’s Brandi from Beverly Hills, who also paid her dues on Celebrity Apprentice. (Who didn’t?)
James Maslow
The Big Time Rush star also got fourth place on season 18 of Dancing with the Stars.
Keshia Knight Pulliam
Rudy Huxtable is in the house! The Big Brother house, to be exact. She also appeared on, yes, Celebrity Apprentice.
Marissa Janet Winokur
The Hairspray Broadway star was on the same season of Dancing with the Stars as her new housemate Shannon Elizabeth. Instant alliance?
Ariadna Gutierrez
She was Miss Universe in 2015… for about two minutes. Then it was revealed that host Steve Harvey had read the wrong name. Whoops!
Chuck Liddell
The former mixed martial artist will have to use his smarts and social skills, not his fists to win this competition.
Ross Matthews
The former Tonight Show intern is a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race. But now he will be judged by his fellow housemates… and America.
Celebrity Big Brother premieres Feb. 7 on CBS and will conclude Feb. 25. But one can only assume that it will remain in our hearts… forever. |

I love Big Brother, but this show is super dangerous to be on if they have live streams. Say one politically incorrect thing and Ron could be living it down for months if not years.
Maybe the CBB will just be an edited show. |

This is Ron Artest we're talking about here if he can live down being part of one of the worst sports brawls in American sports history this is nothing. |

Interesting, slightly higher profile cast than I was predicting but, as a huge fan of the show, still not expecting much. |

You don't know the Big Brother fandom... if you say anything sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic they will drag you for weeks and weeks. Ron just got in a fight, they wouldn't care about that. I'll still be rooting for him though. |

Nope...it'll be 24 hour live feeds on CBS Access.
I watch every season....love this show!! So glad Ron is on there but you are right about saying the wrong thing following you. Can't see Ron watching his words.....we'll see. |

Ross Mathews loves Big Brother.....this is a dream come true for him!! He's a hoot. Everyone is in the house already (yesterday) so CBS 24 hour feeds will miss the first week or so in the house. |

Yep, Ron will speak his mind... I think this group we'll be fun to watch but I hope he doesn't get baited into some crazy fight that ruins his reputation again. |

BB is mine and my gf’s guilty pleasure, so I was pretty excited for this. When I found out MWP was going to be on, my excitement shot through the roof.
But then I saw Omarosa was on it too and my excitement came crashing back down.. |

BB is a guilty pleasure and the only reality show I watch. I won't be watching this though. The whole appeal of the regular BB is watching average people trapped inside a house for 3 month trying to win 500K and the social and personal dynamics that transpire. There are a plethora of reality shows with "celebrities" and this will just be another that I have no interest in. |

Didn't realize there were so many BB fans on LG....the only reality show that I really watch....have since Season 1. Not too excited about the Celebrity version. I read where a CBS executive said the BB audience is not the largest....but it was the strongest...almost cult like following!
Have to get a thread in Off Topic when season begins.... |

I actually work on this show. Sadly, i am not one of the producers who gets to do interviews, so I won't be able to ask him anything.
EDIT: Didn't know there were so many BB fans on LG! What up, fam!? |

Big Brother is my Sh!t but watching Paul lose 2 years in row wasn't cool the dude was the only one playing last year
sometimes the fans need to give these guys a breaks about what they say they're on the air 24/7 for the whole summer |

The Celebrity version is only going to be 3 weeks so think of it as spring training |

So apparently, Metta has already caused major drama in the house. It's a spoiler so I will post a link from someone who has supposed knowledge of the incident.
The poster has posted accurate spoiler about BB before according to the people who post in the BB forum. Personally, I don't know for sure myself.
If it's true, I'm not suprised. The house causes even level-headed people to do some crazy stuff, if past seasons are to be believed.
Details about metta's incident in the BB house
ETA: I fixed the link, the URL code is tricky. |

Smaller people tend to have an advantage in endurance challenges for BB, MWP has a lot of weight to hold up. |
