Last year, the freshman outing of the Big Brother: Celebrity Edition TV show on CBS did pretty well in the ratings, and it attracted a similar sized audience to the original US version of the series. Was that just beginner’s luck, or does it have staying power? Will Big Brother: Celebrity Edition (aka Celebrity Big Brother) be cancelled or renewed for season three Stay tuned.
A CBS competitive reality TV series hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, season two of Big Brother: Celebrity Edition features Jonathan Bennett, Tamar Braxton, Kandi Burruss, Tom Green, Lolo Jones, Kato Kaelin, Joey Lawrence, Ryan Lochte, Dina Lohan, Natalie Eva Marie, Anthony Scaramucci, and Ricky Williams and will unfold in just three short weeks. As in the original series, the “stars” live together in a house fitted with over 80 HD cameras and 100 microphones to capture all the action. Each week, one or more of the celebrity “Houseguests” will be voted out. The last Houseguest standing will win the grand prize of $250,000.00.

What do you think? Do you like the Big Brother: Celebrity Edition TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season on CBS?
I say renewal it’s a bit hard to remember how many episodes behind you are. Just he to go by dates. I like the show. I think someone from pawn stars would like to do it because they as re worry about season 16 people would get board of a pawn shop show. So they are looking for new viewers.
