Introduction to Celebrity Big Brother TV Show Review by Ms. H

I’m not a regular viewer of the Big Brother TV show, but decided to tune in for the celebrity edition.  I must admit, the show was rather entertaining to say the least. I think I watched just about every episode and was not really sure until the very last episode who was going to win.

Celebrities on Big Brother

To be fair, most of the celebrities to me seemed to be of the “tabloid” type where you may have heard of them through headlines.The celebrities included athletes, a comedian,a sort of a movie star, a comedian, a politician and the mother of a movie star. That being said, I enjoyed this game show mainly because it was an abbreviated edition -- lasting only a few weeks.

Game Play for Celebrity Big Brother

Just in case you do not know, the show revolves around a group of celebrities, hanging out together, secluded from the outside world, except  when the show airs at which time they talk to the host Julie Chen-Mooves. The celebrities are also always on camera in the Big Brother house.

During the show, some players formed alliances by promising to keep particular people safe from being evicted from the house.   The key here is that some alliances are not really true alliances. For example, even though at one time I thought Kandi and Tom Green were in an alliance -- Kandi turned on Tom by telling Tamar something Tom told her in private.  There also was the case where Tom Green said he would save a particular player -- and did not follow through. My point here is there are a lot of untruths going on during Celebrity Big Brother -- but this is one way to play the game. In fact, I think the motto of the show is expect the unexpected.

Twists and Turns on the Celebrity Big Brother TV Show

Towards the beginning of the show, there was a major twist where one of the house guests pretended to be a house guest -- but he was not. Looking back, the show itself could have been a big twist, because sometimes you may think you know who is  winning when actually you may not know. I think the biggest twist was when Rikki the football player selected Tamar to be his competitor during the final show.  But this time, instead of competing in a contest, there was a vote cast from jurors consisting of the previous non-winners of the game. They voted on who should win Celebrity Big Brother.

Assessment of the Celebrity Big Brother TV Show

Most of the show was entertaining to watch but there were slow moments when the person who used to be the White House press secretary spoke.  However, the positives of the entertainment value of the show far outweigh any negatives. I also enjoyed all the various head of household contests that were entertaining and some were crafted rather creatively.

Rating of the Celebrity Big Brother TV Show

Based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate Celebrity Big Brother 5 stars.
