1 (US), also known as Big Brother: Celebrity Edition, is the first edition of Celebrity Big Brother in Big Brother U.S..
The season would premiere the day before the 2018 Winter Olympics on February 7, 2018. Later after 26 days inside the house, Marissa Jaret Winokur would come out on top over fan-favorite Ross Mathews with a 6-3 vote.
Development
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight during Big Brother 17, host Julie Chen revealed that a Celebrity season for Big Brother US was in the works around Big Brother 2 and at one point the production even had cast actress Paris Hilton to compete on the season. However, the season was scrapped because the producers thought that a Celebrity season would cause Big Brother to jump the shark. However, due to the high ratings of recent seasons, it was announced that the first ever Celebrity edition would air during the winter, following Big Brother 19, with Big Brother 20 to follow in the summer.In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Julie said, "We have discussed it as far back as season 2. And then again about a year or two ago, but the economics didn’t make sense then. We found a way to make it work, and that’s all I can say! Game of Thrones likes to say “winter is coming” — well, guess what? With winter, comes the unexpected… Celebrity Big Brother, baby!" It was then announced on December 1, 2017, that the premiere of the season would be on February 7, 2018, and the finale would be later in the month on February 25th. However, the season will air simultaneously to the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Games. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Allison Grodner admitted speaking with the producers of Celebrity Big Brother UK on how to cast and deal with the celebrities and their demands. However, there were no special requests. Grodner also said, "We have more games than the other formats. We want the games to be as fair as possible. And we made it clear to the cast — no special treatment."
Air Schedule
On January 5, 2018, CBS revealed the airing schedule for the upcoming Celebrity edition with episodes on four nights a week including two-hour episodes. Later once the cast was released, it was announced that evictions would take place on Mondays and Fridays.
Casting
The cast was consistently being teased throughout the weeks leading up to the show. Julie Chen posted a hint of the cast with emojis, announcing a cast of 11, despite the house showing only 10 seats at the table. The cast was set to be announced on January 28th, during the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. But before the show started, a teaser was aired and showed all of their faces in a rapid series of images, with the official announcement happening later on during the show. It was later announced that singer Boy George was almost cast, but the timing was not right. Julie would then reveal that Anthony Scaramucci was asked, but declined before joining the cast for season 2.
•Shorter Season: Due to the fact that the Celebrity houseguests can't commit to a full three month season, the season will last for 26 days, just short of 4 weeks.
•Smaller Prize Money: Since the series is one-third the normal length of a normal season, and due to the fact that the Celebrities will be paid to enter the house, the prize has been cut in half to $250,000.
•No Have-Nots: Announced on Entertainment Tonight, the Celebrities will not have to endure being a have-not. However, slop will still be given out as a punishment. Julie later would say in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that there is not enough time to put the celebrities on slop. But she said that "they (the celebrities) will experience slop at some point during the game." The slop phase of the game only lasted for 48 hours.
•Celebrity Big BroBot: In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, executive producer Allison Grodner announced that there would be a new kind of voting for the celebrity series. However, it was officially revealed as the Celebrity Big BroBot where viewers can interact on Facebook Messenger or Kik. Viewers are able to compete in trivia with the bot and vote for things that can impact the game.
•Celebrity Houseguests: For the first time in American Big Brother, a group of Celebrity houseguests will enter the house.
•Award Immunity: Seconds before the first Head of Household competition, Julie announced that an immunity award would be presented to the houseguest that stood behind the star with the corresponding number in Julie's envelope. The correct number was 5, so Omarosa Manigault was "awarded" immunity for the first eviction.
•Big Brother Giftbags: A revamped edition of Season 19's Tree of Temptation. However, each houseguest would have their own predetermined bag. The twist would immediately end once the HOH Recast power is used.
•HOH Recast: After the first HOH competition was won by Shannon Elizabeth, the houseguests all grabbed bags. One of those bags contained a power known as the "Recast," where the winner could dethrone the current HOH and take their place.
•Original Jury Format: Due to the Celebrity format, the houseguests will all be apart of the Jury once evicted. However, they will be sent home instead of being sequestered in a Jury house, meaning they can watch the episodes play out before coming back to cast their final vote.
•Pick-A-Veto: Returning from Big Brother: Over The Top with a twist. The audience will be voting between three different types of Power of Veto for the houseguests to compete for in Day 20's live competition.
Celebrity Big Brother 2 (US) had New York style caricatures of the first celebrity season's houseguests across from the main Memory Wall. Big Brother 22 (US) was themed after BB History, and was basically a gigantic memory wall.
Celebrity Big Brother, also known as Big Brother: Celebrity Edition, [1] is a spin-off series of the American version of the Dutch reality television franchise Big Brother.
New memory wall idea! No Spoilers. For the memory wall with all of their pictures, instead of stoic pictures, what if when they won HOH a gold crown appeared above / on their heads in the picture? And when they’re nominated, they could go from a smiling shot, to a frowning / sad picture.
