Of course, the likelihood that we’ll get a Celebrity Big Brother with say, Will Smith, Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Swift in the cast is very slim.
As of right now, we don’t know who we can expect for our first celebrity housemates.
There will probably be several beloved stars of screen, song and sport from yesteryear (I don’t know why I want Henry Winkler to do this, but I really, really do.), some current lower-level names from the same fields and a few folks from other reality shows (I will be shocked if at least one Real Housewife of Wherever isn’t involved).
With any reality show, especially one where folks live together and are watched all day and night, casting will require finding the right mixture of interesting personalities who viewers also want to watch, whether for nostalgia reasons or simply because they are still well-known today.
