Background[edit]
After the first season of the British version of Big Brother proved to be a success in the ratings for Channel 4, the network collaborated with the BBC for the first British season of Celebrity Big Brother in aid of Comic Relief. The season ran for a condensed run of eight days and featured six British celebrities moving into the house used for the first British season.[2] Due to the success of the first celebrity edition, a second season was ordered and shown exclusively on Channel 4 in November 2002. The celebrity version took a two year break before returning for its third season in 2005, and became a regular staple alongside the regular British version. Starting with the third season, the show began to feature celebrities outside the United Kingdom alongside well known British celebrities. Many notable American celebrities have since taken part in the British version of Celebrity Big Brother.[3][4] American actor Gary Busey took part in the fourteenth season in the summer of 2014 and became the first American celebrity to win Celebrity Big Brother in the United Kingdom.[5]
An American version of Celebrity Big Brother has been speculated since 2002, along with a celebrity version of Survivor.[6] In an interview, Julie Chen and CBS CEO Leslie Moonves revealed talks of a celebrity edition of Big Brother as far back as Big Brother 2.[7] It was rumored that CBS was looking to air a celebrity edition in the fall after Big Brother 3 with radio personality Howard Stern speculated as a possible houseguest.[8] Chen revealed that Paris Hilton had agreed to do it and Roseanne Barr initially agreed to take part, but then backed out.[7] Barr would later take part in another celebrity spin-off of Big Brother called Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack in the United Kingdom in 2008, where she watched over a group of non-celebrity housemates for a day, set tasks and talked to them in the Diary Room.[9]
Julie Chen announced on September 7, 2017, during a live double eviction episode of Big Brother 19 that Celebrity Big Brother would air sometime during winter 2018, before the twentieth season of Big Brother in the summer of 2018. CBS later confirmed via a press release that Julie Chen would return to host the new season, and Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan will be executive producers. The season will be produced by Fly on the Wall Entertainment in association with Endemol Shine North America.[10]
On September 13, 2017, it was revealed by Chen that her husband, CBS chief executive Leslie Moonves, forced her to take a pay cut for the celebrity edition to happen. Moonves stated, "You shouldn't be expected to be paid as if it's a full series. It's a condensed version."[11]
Production[edit]
The format of the show is expected to remain similar to the American version of Big Brother. Competitions for Head of Household and Power of Veto have been confirmed to return for this edition along with live evictions.[1] This series will be shown over a condensed run and will not last as long as a regular season of Big Brother.[11]
On December 1, 2017, CBS revealed that the series would premiere on February 7, 2018 and wrap on February 25, 2018.[12]
Broadcasts[edit]
The main television coverage of Celebrity Big Brother will be screened on CBS during the winter of the 2017–18 network television season.[10] Episodes will air on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with two special episodes on Thursday, February 8 and Saturday, February 24. All episodes are one hour and will air from 8-9 p.m. EST with the exception of Friday episodes, and the season finale which are two hours each and will air from 8-10 p.m. EST.[13] The live Internet feeds will return for the American version of Celebrity Big Brother as part of CBS All Access.[10][7] Alongside the weekly shows on CBS the companion series Big Brother: After Dark will return on Pop providing live coverage nightly from the House.[10][14]
