Do we have any idea who the celebrities will be?

Not yet.

I really don't expect them to be announced very early and when they are announced, I feel that they will already be in seclusion so they don't know who the other celebrities are.

Thanks for all the additional info! Wow--they are having 4 to 5 episodes a week--my Tivo will be filled! I am sure they are hoping to have some celebs with strong personalities! I am very curious as to how much people will be getting paid to be on it.

That makes sense, but have we heard any rumours at all of who might possibly do it? I'm just afraid we will end up having someone like Frankie Grande who thinks he is a celebrity and has done the show before. I expect mostly other reality show castoffs...not real celebrities. Although, since the filming seems to be shorter than the usual summer show, we might get some D celebs or some who are looking to revive their career....thinking like a Danny Bonaduce or someone like that.

I probably won't watch it no matter who is in the cast.

I wonder which Kardashian they will convince to do it.  Like you I would guess it will be someone that wants to revive their career. IMO it will probably be some of the ones that have done this type of show in the past (Celebrity Mole or I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here being a couple from the past). Daniel Baldwin has done 5 different celebrity reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother in the UK.

From Celebrity Big Brother account on Twitter (not a CBS account). Take it anyway you like..

@cbbtweets:A reputable Reddit account is claiming this is the working line-up for @CBS 'Celebrity Big Brother' in the USA. Premieres February 7th 2018. Seems realistic and account previously announced the premiere date before it was revealed! RT! #CBB #CBBUSA #CelebrityBigBrother #CBS #BB

I think we discussed this list several days ago but don't remember what thread it was in. I remember checking the tweet at the time and it was tweeted from someone else. My feeling is that someone on reddit picked up on it and its life has grown from there.

I honestly don't believe ABC would give Nick permission to do CBB since it is on CBS.

LOL at Gary B. He is so funny.

I could honestly see every one of those people doing CBB. Nick could have a different Bachelor contract since he's been on so many different seasons, so who knows with him. I have no idea if this list is accurate but, like I said, I could definitely see it.

Ooh if Nick is on though i could see it since he loves being on every possible reality show now. JMO.
