I'd like to see another season (works well as a short mid-winter series). I stopped watching the main BB series years back, after having watched the first several seasons, and 2-3 seasons of more recent years (the last being 3-4 summers ago). The main series drags on so long, and requires a lot of ongoing time commitment, the four nights per week for three months or however long. But the celebrity series is "short and sweet," plus has recognizable faces, not to mention airs during the slower part of the year. So it's win-win, on all counts. I personally like that the celebrity debut season ran for only three weeks. Too, I doubt that most celebrities would want to tie up longer than that.

To each its own, but what is tying up these celebs time? I don't think they have a steady gig, at least not the majority of them.
The only draw back, other than the short stint, is that the selection of people going up on the block dwindled quick. I like when there is a pool of people. It keeps it interesting.
I recorded and later watched Thursday's The Talk, on which the last five people in the house appeared. One of the comments made by Ross was that by evictees not having been sequestered he feels it impacted number of votes he got, as he said had they not seen/heard some of the specific things he said, they'd not have been aware, so he thinks more would have voted for him. In fact an evictee or two, on The Talk, confirmed as much, that they'd have voted for Ross had they not seen past episodes. So I wonder, if there winds up being another celebrity season (which seems probable, is my guess), evictees will be sequestered (like on the main series), in the name of increased fairness.

Am I understanding this correctly- If they had been sequestered Ross feels like he would have gotten more votes? And some evictee's voted for Marissa because they saw the episodes?
I think Ross is experiencing the 'Paul Syndrome'- being so sure that you are going to win because you are taking what you believe is the weakest player to the final two with you and you end up in second place .
Even when they are sequestered, doesn't BB show the jurors scenes from the house and competitions? Last season all the dummies figured out Paul's puppeteerism from talking to each other and watching the tapes didn't they?

I personally think a month and a half to 2 months is a good run for CBB. The reason why they aired so many episodes a week this past season was because the rest of their lineup was on hiatus because of the Olympics. Without the Olympics I think they will get at most 3 nights a week maybe 2. So they'll likely need that extra month of time.

Good point.
Ross should know that, being that he is a self-described superfan.
I watched most of the first episode, but found myself not very interested in the new crop of celebrity house guests, or that the show will come on so many nights per week, so didn't watch the second episode. Not sure yet whether I'll give it another try. Odds are that I'll probably watch it off and on.

Yes, I would like to see another season. I hope CBS makes Celebrity Big Brother an annual Winter event.

I would like another season, but I want it to be longer. Perhaps, it can be 2 months.

Yeah, if they do a season 2 I hope it starts in early January and runs through February.

Was anyone surprised by the paltry amount of the prize? $200K
I know they get 200 or 250K for showing up, but still. . .

I'm so over the contestants deeming it necessary to say they are a superfan, that I cringe at hearing the word.
