Primetime Picks… 1/21/19

Jan 21, 2019 Posted by in Features | Comments

Tonight CBS’s Celebrity Big Brother returns for a second season, with 12 new celebrities entering the Big Brother house to compete in a compressed version of the hit reality competition. I really enjoyed the first celebrity season last year as things move along at a much faster pace than the regular Summer show, which is stretched over 3 months instead of just a few weeks.

Julie Chen Moonves will once again be hosting the series, and this year’s batch of house guests includes an actual professional house guest, Kato Kaelin, who’s still stretching out his 15 minutes of fame from the O.J. trial. Also entering the house tonight are actors Jonathan Bennett (Mean Girls, Cake Wars), Joey Lawrence (Melissa & Joey, Blossom) & Tom Green (Road Trip); singers and/or reality TV stars Tamar Braxton (The Braxtons), Kandi Burruss (Xscape), and Dina Lohan (Living Lohan); and athletes Lolo Jones (Olympic track and bobsled), Ryan Lochte (swimming Gold medalist), Natalie Eva Marie (WWE wrestler) & Ricky Williams (former NFL superstar). Finally, there’s 10-day White House Director of Communications Anthony Scaramucci.

It looks like another odd mix of folks, though there are several cliques that could be formed, or folks who already know one another going into the house. It will be interesting to see who teams up with whom, and who ultimately wins the season.

Tonight I’ll also be watching/recording The Good Doctor, Manifest, The Resident, The Passage, and Arrow.

For additional suggestions on what to check out tonight, including the return of Arrow, check out the If We Controlled Your Remote… 1/21/19 post at TVisMyPacifier.com.
