Thoughts on the premiere of Celebrity Big Brother 2, which introduced its really fun cast, featured a questionable challenge, and introduced a predictably dumb twist.
The Celebrity Big Brother premier is finally here. 12 new celebrities will begin their journey for the coveted Celebrity Big Brother title and the quarter of a million dollar prize. The cast of celebs for this year’s house is a wide variety of personalities that will surely bring excitement and drama to the Big Brother house like never before.
Joining the cast of Celebrity Big Brother for the second season will be Anthony Scaramucci, Dina Lohan, Joey Lawrence, Jonathan Bennett, Kandi Burruss, Kato Kaelin, Lolo Jones, Natalie Eva Marie, Ricky Williams, Ryan Lochte, Tamar Braxton, and Tom Green. The cast includes Olympic athletes, high profile comedians, former government officials, NFL stars, to world class momagers. Buckle up Big Brother fans and enjoy the ride.
The first group of celebrities to enter the Big Brother house are Ryan Lochte, Tamar Braxton, Lolo Jones, Tom Green, Natalie Eva Marie, and Kato Kaelin.
Next to come into the house is Joey Lawrence, Dina Lohan, Jonathan Bennett, Kandi Burruss, Ricky Williams, and Anthony Scaramucci.
Once all 12 cast members enter the CBB house, the stars do a “welcome” toast to one another for a great Big Brother season. Of course, Kato is already getting ribbed about O.J. Simpson walking through the door any minute…NOT! Ryan is as cocky as ever, and Lolo is still a virgin. Lots of good stuff to gossip about this season amongst the celebrities.
Julie Chen Moonves starts things off by telling the celebs to “expect the unexpected”…immediately. Julie explains that 2 of the houseguests will become the first Celebrity Power Pair in the house, while 2 houseguests will not be included in the competition.
The first Head of Household competition is underway and will played in pairs. Only 5 pairs will be competing meaning that one couple will be eligible to compete for the first HOH honors. By random draw, Ryan got to choose first and picked Jonathan as his partner. Tamar chose Kandi, Ricky chose Joey, Tom chose Lolo, and Anthony chose Dina. Kato and Natalie were not chosen and are automatically safe from eviction the first week in the Big Brother house.
Seated on large swings, the houseguests must swing with all their might to reach the flowing champagne behind them and fill their glass. Once that partner has their champagne glass full, they must swing to their partner and transfer the champagne to their glass. Once the partner has bubbly in their glass, they must pour the champagne in large container. Once the liquid in the large champagne glass is high enough to reach the top and a “bubble” falls out, that couple wins the first competition.
Ryan and Jonathan won the competition. One of the two power pair will be crowned the first HOH according to Julie while the other partner is in for a game changing surprise. Exactly which one will be named HOH is still to be determined.
Julie tells the power pair that they must battle against each other for HOH, and the other will become the first nominee to the block for eviction. Join us tomorrow night 8 PM/ 7 PM CST for the Lochte/Bennett showdown. Tune in Wednesday night for the first Power of Veto competition, and the first live eviction takes place this Friday evening.

A few minutes into BBC America’s latest version of Planet Earth, Dynasties, my attention was drifting away. The footage of a lion pride in the Masai Mara was intimate but not visually striking, and nothing compared to what previous Planet Earth series have delivered. It was slow; I was bored. But by the end of… continue reading

Celebrity Big Brother 2 starts tomorrow night. We will see—finally— if we made the right first impressions, as well as pick new favorite players, alliances, and villains. Once tomorrow kicks off the Celebrity Big Brother 2 premiere, it’s a fast race to the February 13, 2019 finale. The series airs between three and five nights a week until the finale. With this intense episode schedule, it might be easy to forget when to watch your favorite reality show.
To make life a little bit easier, we composed an easy to follow, color coordinated Celebrity Big Brother calendar that’s downloadable. We also broke down where exactly and how to watch Celebrity Big Brother 2 from your favorite streaming device.
Celebrity Big Brother 2 airs five nights a week during the premiere week. It airs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. All that week, the episodes air at 7:00pm CST/8:00pm EST for an hour. During this week, we will have at least one eviction, Power of Veto, Head of Household, and nominations. Most likely, all of these competitions have already taken place, and will air on the first three nights of the week. We’re likely to have our eviction on Friday. However, CBS has yet to announce any official eviction dates.
We also don’t know when each competition will take place on the feeds. The normal schedule should start to become clear by the end of the first week. The second week has only three that week (on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). We will start to have two or more evictions a week by now. Due to so many episodes airing the first week, we’re probably guaranteed two evictions that week, if not more.
Only having three episodes during the second week is likely due partly to the Super Bowl, which airs that Sunday. Then for the final full week, we only have three episodes, airing Monday, Thursday, and Friday, with one airing for two hours. The final two episodes air on Monday, February 11, 2019 and Wednesday, February 13, 2019. The finale is also a two-hour special. The times switch a little but every episode airs either at 8pm or 9pm EST.
If you have regular cable access, you can easily just check your local listing for the CBS station. If you’re accessing CBS through CBS: All Access or Amazon Prime, you can stream it directly through a streaming device by finding the watch live tab on that app or website. Comcast and other cable providers also offer access through their apps or website.
CBS: All Access is offering a free week preview directly through CBS or Amazon.
