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?
*9/10/21 update: Big Brother: Celebrity Edition has been renewed for a third season.
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.
