Adds to the drama and chaos, which adds to the ratings. That is why I don't watch - the evil conniving types too often win, or last way too long.

Season, the show will only be around 3 weeks long. She is possibly getting a talk show out of this, at least that's the rumor.

15-25K+ per episode depending on the status of the celeb.

the show can be weirdly entertaining. Not everything has to be rocket science. Sometimes you just want to watch stupid TV.

Been the only reality tv I have ever watched. It can be very entertaing, but I am a loyal fan and even watch when it is boring.
P.S. I can't stand Omarosa.

Is the show going to air just three nights a week? Which nights? Was it on Saturday night? (If it was, I missed it...darn)

I almost boycotted the show because of Omarosa being a houseguest. Then I thought, why should I let her keep me from watching the only reality show I have enjoyed for many years? Yes, it's a silly, bit of fluff TV, but we all need a little silliness in our lives.

The last 3 years I have gotten the 24 hour live stream for Big Brother too, but I haven't gotten that for this Celebrity BB. I figure the MSM 24 hour coverage of the shit show at the WH is plenty of drama.
Thanks again for the schedule!

Surgery, we thought for sure she would leave the show
they had already lost one player due to PTSD, they needed her desperately. She ended up leaving 3 different times and had surgery and recovered in the house.
Fans do not like when house guests leave for that exact reason, when they do a handler is sent with them, but who knows what they could learn.
When 9/11 happened, there were 3 hg's in the house, one of them had a cousin in one of the towers, they told them the next day and aired it on the show.
The whole psychological aspect of the show can be quite fascinating.

and made such a bitter jury, they voted against him. Making for a very boring season, topped off with an explosive excellent finale, Josh won.
It isn't that much in comparison with Survivor and a few other shows, their prize is 1 million. Big Brother is $500, 000. Actually after taxes $500,000.
Celebrity Big Brother $250,000, very short season.
