- Ryan Lochte. With 12 medals, Lochte is the second most decorated Olympic swimmer in history.

The season finale pulled in 5.21 million viewers and a 1.4/5 rating in the 18-49 demographic. CBS ordered a second season of Celebrity Big Brother on May 12, 2018 then confirmed it would return for a mid-season run four days later when the network reveled its 2018–19 fall prime-time schedule. Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan will continue to serve as executive producers for the second season. Their production company Fly on the Wall Entertainment will produce the season for CBS in association with Endemol Shine North America.

House
As with each season since season 6, the program is filmed at CBS Studios, sound stage 18 in Studio City, California in a custom-built two story house. Soundstage 18 was previously used to film the sitcom Yes, Dear. The House was equipped with 94 high-definition cameras and 113 microphones in order to monitor and record the Houseguests. The living room, three bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and lounge room are located on the first floor. The Head of Household bedroom, gym area and an additional lounge area are located on the second floor. The second floor is accessible by a spiral staircase located in the kitchen next to the sliding glass doors that lead to the backyard. CBS released pictures and video of the redesigned House on January 16, 2019 through several media outlets like Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Tonight and ET Canada. The interior of the Celebrity Big Brother house has a New York City theme from around the 1940s. Each of the bedrooms on the first floor were given their own individual names reflecting their design. The first bedroom has a "5th Avenue" theme inspired by window shopping highlighting "the highest fashion of the '40s" while the second bedroom has a luxury "Hotel" theme. The third bedroom, known as the "Celebrity Building" Bedroom, that was inspired by a famous art deco building named after a car company. The kitchen was inspired by some of the finest restaurants in New York City with a "faux French" oven island and a square dinning room table. Behind the dinning room table cartoon-style pictures of the season one houseguests hanging on the wall. The bathroom and downstairs lounge area were inspired by the 20th Century Limited passenger train. The Head of Household bedroom resembles the backstage of a Broadway show with the head board made from a real theater marquee. The upstairs lounge was designed after the Brooklyn Bridge while the gym area was inspired by the 42nd Street library in Manhattan. On January 15th, CBS released house pictures as hints around the different social media's for the show, Julie Chen, and executive producer Allison Grodner. The remainder of the house photos were released the next day on January 16th. Once again they were scattered around the different social media accounts for the show Julie Chen, and executive producer Allison Grodner. A house tour would be released later that day on Youtube.
•Power Pair & Nomination Competitions: For the first competition of the season, the houseguests were divided up into five teams of two leaving two houseguests sitting out, who were later awarded immunity. The winners of the competition became the "Power Pair". The winners would then compete in a second competition where the winner would be the first Head of Household and the loser would be the first nominee on the block.
•Breaking Celebrity News: Various twists will be announced to the houseguests throughout the season in the form of "breaking news."
•Fake HouseGuest & Second Veto: It was revealed that Anthony Scaramucci was never a real contestant, and he left the game on Day 6. His exit gave everyone a second chance at the PoV, but since he was a nominee, a new one had to be named in his place.
•Power of the Publicist: America will vote for one of the Final 9 houseguests to get the Power of the Publicist. That gives them the power to remove themselves from the block at one of the following two Nomination or Power of Veto ceremonies. After voting via hashtags on Twitter, America voted for Tamar Braxton to get the power. However, she didn't use it during the first eviction cycle that she could've, and after she won HoH during the second cycle, the power expired.
Julie Chen Hosting
The media speculated that Julie Chen Moonves might not continue hosting the series after her husband Les Moonves' departure from the CBS Corporation on September 9, 2018 because of multiple sexual misconduct allegations. Chen-Moonves has been the host of the American adaption of the format since the debut of Big Brother in the United States. She subsequently stepped down as a co-host of The Talk on September 18, 2018 while continuing to host season 20. CBS confirmed on November 27, 2018 that Chen-Moonves would host the second season of Celebrity Big Brother. She later confirmed her own involvement on Twitter and Instagram on January 10, 2018, almost a month after CBS announced that they were not giving Les a severance pay.
Anthony Scaramucci Departure
After the second episode when the live feeds began at midnight on January 23rd ET, it was discovered that Anthony was missing from the house. It was later discovered that he possibly left the house the day before. Later that day it was then discovered that he was in Davos, Switzerland attending a financial conference. He would go on saying he signed a NDA about his exit and could not discuss it until after Friday night's episode. It was then revealed that it was part of the season's twist Breaking Celebrity News. Anthony was a fake houseguest who was living among the houseguests. He would leave the house and a new veto would take place as a result of the open nomination seat.
Alleged Lolo Jones Ejection
On Saturday, January 27th, the live feeds were cut during a argument between Lolo Jones and Tamar Braxton after Tamar was accusing Lolo of staying up with her fellow houseguests trying to figure out a way to keep her off the block. After Tamar confronted Lolo, Lolo stated, “I’m not real funny. Here’s the problem today, you want me to tell you what happened and then you snap off on me," she then jumps out of bed stating, ”I’m gonna f**king start because you want to tell me … you asked me what the f**k and then you f**kin ‘pop off. So why the f**k would I not get mad? You do this every motherf**king day. Like don’t f**king start with me." The live feed is then cut. As it returns it shows the two back in the same room with Lolo saying. The camera cuts and then shows Tamar coming into the room, and Jones saying, “I’m f**king cool. Last night we all f**king stayed up…to make sure you’re f**king cool. Every day you are popping off on us,” Jones tells Braxton again who tells her to calm down. Jones goes off some more, “What you need to f**king do is calm down and stop f**king popping off on everybody.” The feed cuts once again before Tamar says, “Next time somebody call me a bitch I’m just gonna start yanking.” Lolo then says, “Then do it," as she is holding the Diary Room door open. Feeds then cut for the final time for over nine hours before returning to the two talking in peace. During the outage, Twitter user BB20Jeff tweeted "Lolo Jones has been removed from the house for slapping Tamar's glasses off. #CBBUS2". The story was then picked up by various news outlets including Us Weekly and OK! Magazine. However, all of these allegations were proven false when the Live Feeds returned.
