Celebrity BB Cast Announced

Well. Um. It's only for three weeks!

From this article --Omarosa and ...
"American Pie actress Shannon Elizabeth, Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath, The Cosby Show's Keshia Knight Pulliam, Real Housewife Brandi Glanville, UFC light heavyweight champ Chuck Liddell, actors James Maslow and Marissa Winokur, TV personality Ross Matthews and Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez will also be moving into the Big Brother house this week."

Okay, I know Omarosa. I know the one from The Cosby Show and Ross Matthews. 

It's only three weeks.

Update -- That article left out Ron Artest -- World Metta Peace (whatever). I know who he is, but not well.

Ok, I know the same 3 as Jackie.
Omarosa is barf...
Keshia was good as a kid, but not familiar with anything she does now.
Ross has always been pretty funny, so I'm hopeful he can hang in there.

Brandi is awful, her and Omarosa are going to fight from day one. Can't wait for your recaps��

LOL, looks like a joke!

I know the same 3 as Jackie and Marissa Winoker. She played Tracy in the musical Hairspray on broadway. I think she won a Tony.

Shannon said...

Utterly disgusted with this cast, glad I love to watch Olympics. Man I am so disappointed in this announcement. Thanks Jackie, still love you though. <3

I know the same 3 people Jackie... Only 3 weeks! Wow... such a short time! Brandi is foul mouthed and awful. You are right Anonymous, Omarosa and Brandi will be fighting from day one! Thanks Jackie! Should be interesting how they do everything in 3 weeks!

Hellooooo to all my BB friends. Hope all is well with you all. Now let's get down to business. With the exception of Ron Artest AKA Whatever world peace he changed his name to,and Omarossa I have no idea of who these people are. Lots of Dancing with the stars and Celeb Apprentice retreads. I think I'd rather pull out my finger nails than watch this trainwreck.

Jackie,Ron Artest was drafted by and played for the Chicago Bulls. He has a hair trigger temper despite his new name. I think I'll rely on you and the other posters for updates rather than actually watch.

Sharon N said...

Thanks to uncartie's synopsis...
It now looks like this will be a 3-way fight between Omarosa, Brandi and Ron Artest.
Who will survive? Will anyone really care? LOL

Marybeth said...

I too was disappointed with this cast. Poor Ross is going to be eaten alive by that group and he is such a superfan.
Jackie, thanks for the update and I miss your Week That Was posts! Looked forward to those.

Glenn Allen said...

Chuck Liddell is a fighter so maybe they have him go up against Ron Artest and Omarosa against Brandi! The surprise scenario would be to have them as a final four alliance!

tbc said...

Looks like the “D” list. 3 weeks hardly seems worth it. 6 weeks would have been better.

I like watching the Olympics, too. So, I will probably opt for that more than BB.

David said...

I want you to take care of yourself Jackie. Do not feel obligated to cover this train wreck if you are not up to it. I hope you are feeling better. I am sure people here can keep the blog updated on any major happenings.

I will probably watch the broadcast, depending on what is on the Olympics. Not really into any of the x-games events. If NBC covers the Olympics like last time, 45 minutes of personal back story for every 2 minutes of event time, I will be highly disappointed, again. More events coverage, less talk about how they got there. I would rather watch water freeze than be subjected to every ones back-story.

This is NBC though, so I expect them to somehow work in all the political BS they can just to ruin their coverage.

If rather have three more weeks of The Amazing Race.

Agree with David. You could just put up one post and those of us who want to follow and comment can. I doubt you'll be staying up with the feeds anyways like you do in the summertime. Not sure how much I'll follow them either.

Petals said...

WHOOHOOOO!

I love Brandi & Mark (just hope they don't hook-up)
XOXOX

Petals said...

For the record: Brandi & Omarosa have met. They may team-up in a secret alliance and rule the house.

Nina said...

If this is supposed to be a celebrity cast I must be in the dark. I don't think I know any of them. Maybe I'm just getting older. I do plan on watching but am wondering why they are calling it Celebrity Big Brother.

uncartie said...

Nina,The cast is compromised of overly available reality characters. If you compare them to the usual hamsters then yeah,I guess you could call them celebrities. I will not watch a minute on CBS and I really,really hope the show falls flat on it's face.

If it succeeds then we may be looking at some of these "celebs" coming back to the summer show as a "vet". IMO,That's the last thing the show needs.

Big Brother is Big Brother...I think it'll be fun, especially since I'm not familiar with most of them. I prefer not knowing them... will enjoy watching with you Jackie. But probably be recording them since there are so many per week; that based on what I read previously. Perhaps that's how they'll get it finished in only three weeks.
