List of episodes

Celebrity Big Brother 3 is the third season of the American reality television series Celebrity Big Brother. It premiered on February 2, 2022, on CBS. The show chronicles a group of celebrities (known as HouseGuests) who moved into a house under constant surveillance and with no contact from the outside world. They are competing for power and safety before voting to evict one of their fellow HouseGuests out of the house.

The season concluded on February 23, 2022, where Miesha Tate defeated Todrick Hall by a final jury vote of 7 to 1. Carson Kressley was named America's Favorite HouseGuest.

The season was announced in September 2021 after a two-year hiatus and aired 15 episodes on CBS, as counterprogramming to the 2022 Winter Olympics. Additional content related to the season was released on Paramount+. Julie Chen Moonves returned as host while Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan returned as executive producers. The contestants for the season were announced in January 2022.

Development

[edit]
Alternate logo for Celebrity Big Brother used in promotional material designed in the same style as Big Brother: All-Stars and Big Brother 23.

The first season of the American version of Celebrity Big Brother aired on CBS in February of the 2017-18 television season as counterprogramming to NBC's coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics.[1] Due to the success of the series a second season was later ordered that aired in the second half of the 2018-19 television season.[2] Ahead of the twenty-first season of the civilian version in 2019 CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl stated that future editions of Celebrity Big Brother were uncertain.[3] In addition, future contracts of host Julie Chen Moonves did not include any mention of Celebrity Big Brother.[4] In December 2020, following the conclusion of the parent series twenty-second season Chen Moonves mentioned in an interview that she and numerous producers encouraged the network to order a third season, believing that then was the time to do it due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] Chen Moonves stated that they declined to order a third season at the time but continued to leave the possibility open for a later time.[5] On September 9, 2021, during the Television Critics Association summer press tour, Thom Sherman, Senior Executive Vice President of CBS programming, announced that Celebrity Big Brother would return for a third season.[6][7] Chen Moonves is confirmed to be returning as host.[8] Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan will return as executive producers while Fly On The Wall Entertainment and Endemol Shine North America will continue to serve as production companies.[9]

Casting

[edit]

Compared to previous seasons at least half of the contracted celebrities must be black, indigenous, (and) people of color.[10] The requirement comes from a CBS effort that began in 2020 to bring diversity to reality television series.[11]

Filming

[edit]

In August 2021 it was reported that ViacomCBS was looking to sell CBS Studio Center in Studio City, California where the Big Brother house is located.[12][13] When the season was announced it was confirmed that the Big Brother house will feature 94 high definition cameras and 113 microphones although the official location of the studio was not mentioned.[14] Filming began on January 26, 2022.[15]

Production design

[edit]
The Swiss Alpines-themed entranceway is highlighted with a crystal chandelier. The living room featuring a curved couch and firepit can be seen in the background.

The seasons Ski lodge-themed house design was revealed through the series social media accounts and entertainment news websites on January 28, 2022.[16][17][18] The entranceway to the house was designed around the Swiss Alpines and features a crystal chandelier that has three-hundred thousand illuminated beads.[19] A living room houses a mid-century firepit in the center of a curved couch and posters advertising Switzerland landmarks.[20] Three bedrooms were designed around Ski patrol, a Cuckoo clock, and Chocolate.[21] The Ski patrol bedroom has a Saint Bernard sign above a barrel of brandy, walls of stacked river stones, and an accent wall full of skis; the Cuckoo clock room has a wall clock with a nine-foot face, an "imposing wooden cuckoo", and other various time-keeping devices; the chocolate-themed bedroom features Swiss chocolate bar headboards, bubblegum rugs, and walls with LED-lit artificial chocolate.[21] The kitchen houses an overhead mural of the Northern lights and an attached dining room features a Saarinen-inspired table.[22] A spiral staircase that has been featured in the house since the sixth season of the civilian version in 2005, and throughout the first two seasons of the celebrity version, has been replaced with a three-landing staircase.[22] On the second floor, the upstairs lounge was designed around a gondola while the Head of Household bedroom parallels an Ice palace.[23] A sauna and gym have also been added to the house.[19]

Prize

[edit]

The last remaining HouseGuest received $250,000.[24] The runner-up received $50,000.

Twist

[edit]

Gala Gift

[edit]

During the first Head of Household competition, Julie told the HouseGuests of the Gala Gift - which would give someone a blessing and someone a curse. This gift took the form of a handbag styled hat designed by the fictitious fashion designer Mon Won (the apparent designer of all of Big Brother's costumes used for punishments).

Before Nominations, the Housemates participated in a Chain of Rejection selection to determine who would receive immunity. Beginning with HoH, Miesha, each HouseGuest would select the next wearer of the Mon Won hat, making them ineligible to receive immunity. The last wearer of the hat would receive Immunity from the first eviction. Cynthia was awarded immunity.

On Eviction Night, a Chain of Safety selection process was held to determine an instant nominee. Beginning with Cynthia, the Mon Won hat would be passed around again among the HouseGuests with each HouseGuest selecting who they wish to be safe. The last wearer of the hat would be instantly nominated for that night's eviction. This nominee would replace their choice of either of the HoH's nominees. Miesha, as HoH, Carson, as the PoV holder and Teddi and Mirai as the original nominees did not participate in this process. Todd became the instant nominee and replaced Mirai.

Below is the full selection order for both selections.

Immunity Selection Nomination Selection
1 Miesha Cynthia
2 Chris Ki. Shanna
3 Chris Ka. Chris Ki.
4 Todd Todrick
5 Teddi Chris Ka.
6 Lamar Lamar
7 Carson Todd
8 Todrick

11 Cynthia

Broadcast

On Day 1, eleven new celebrity HouseGuests enter the winter-themed Big Brother house and introduce themselves to each other. The HouseGuests begin to get settled into the house before Julie introduces the first Head of Household competition. In the competition, titled "BB Winter Gala", based on the Met Gala, HouseGuests must hold onto champagne bottles attached to strings that lift them in the air, making makeshift swings, and attempt to remain there. After making a deal with Todrick promising him safety, Miesha was the last HouseGuest remaining on their swing and became the first Head of Household of the season. Julie also teases the next twist known as the "Gala Gift" consisting of both a power and a punishment.
282"Episode 2"Days 1–5February 3, 2022 (2022-02-03)2.66[33]0.5[33]
Following the Head of Household competition Miesha builds an alliance with Todrick and Lamar, whom she considers the athletic people. Meanwhile, Todrick also forms numerous other alliances with everyone else, except for Chris Kattan and Todd. Miesha brings Chris Kirkpatrick into her alliance and sets her sights on evicting Teddi. The HouseGuests prepare to open the Gala Gift; before opening the box they learn the receiver of the gift will be immune from eviction, but they will have to wear a hat designed as a purse throughout the cycle. Beginning with Miesha, they must pass the hat from one to another; when one receives the hat they are unable to receive the immunity until there is only one person remaining: Cynthia was the last to receive the hat and was granted immunity from nomination. The HouseGuests are warned that the punishment from the Gala Gift would come eviction night. Miesha further develops her plan to backdoor Teddi by adding Mirai to her alliance. After making a deal with Teddi, Miesha shifts her plan to evicting Mirai, who was untrustworthy, by using Carson as a pawn. On Day 5, Miesha nominated Carson and Mirai for eviction.

Following nominations Mirai believes that she is still a pawn. Cynthia, Lamar, and Todrick (Mirai's choice), were chosen by random draw to compete alongside Miesha, Carson, and Mirai in the Power of Veto competition. The HouseGuests competed individually using clues to assemble a daily schedule. When they believe the schedule is correct they hit the buzzer. If the order is correct their time is locked; otherwise they continue trying. Carson correctly ordered the schedule in the lowest amount of time and received the Power of Veto. Miesha contemplated backing from her deal with Teddi and nominating her for eviction. Carson used the Power of Veto on himself and Miesha nominated Teddi in his place. Before the eviction Julie informs the HouseGuests that the hat from the Gala Gift will be passed around once more; however, the last person to receive the hat will replace Mirai or Teddi on the block. Todd ultimately replaced Mirai. Todd and Teddi are given a last chance to try and save themselves. On Day 10, by a vote of 5–3, with Carson, Chris Kattan, and Cynthia voting to evict Todd, Teddi was the first HouseGuest to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Week 2
304"Episode 4"Days 10–11February 6, 2022 (2022-02-06)2.61[35]0.5[35]
Reeling from a hectic eviction night, the HouseGuests begin questioning others loyalties. The Formation alliance, consisting of Carson, Cynthia, Mirai, Shanna, Todrick, and formerly Teddi, experience the biggest disruption after Shanna and Todrick voted to evict Teddi instead of Todd. In the "Rotten Potatoes" Head of Household competition, based on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, HouseGuests must roll a ball up a model rotten potato so that it falls into a scored slot. If they're satisfied with the score they can lock it in and move onto the next potato; if they're unhappy with it they can roll again until they're satisfied with it. Each HouseGuest has a total of two minutes and thirty seconds to add a score from all three rotten potatoes, any potatoes without locked scores at the end of the time period results in zero points. Each potatoes score is added to their "Potatometer". At the end of the competition, Chris Kirkpatrick had the highest Potatometer, with a score of 75 and became the second Head of Household. Chris Kirkpatrick considers targeting Mirai much to the dismay of Miesha. On Day 11, Chris Kirkpatrick nominated Chris Kattan and Mirai for eviction.
315"Episode 5"Days 11–13February 7, 2022 (2022-02-07)2.36[36]0.4[36]
Chris Kirkpatrick confirms he wants Mirai to be evicted while the other HouseGuests comfort Chris Kattan and Mirai. Chris Kirkpatrick, Chris Kattan, and Mirai, alongside Todrick, Shanna, and Cynthia competed in the Valentine's Day-themed Power of Veto competition. In the competition, based on the theatrical film Marry Me, the competing HouseGuests view an image of a crowd in which everyone is holding a poster. Each image is divided into three sections and one poster contains the phrase "Marry Me"; the HouseGuests must determine which section contains this poster and lock in their answer in an attempt to gain points. At the end of seven rounds Shanna and Todrick tied with six points each. During the tiebreaker round Julie gave Shanna and Todrick a question to which the answer was a number, Shanna answered closest to the correct number without going over and was awarded the Power of Veto. Shanna chose not to use the Power of Veto, leaving Chris Kirkpatrick's nominations the same. Chris Kattan and Mirai were given a chance to sway votes their way. On Day 13, by a unanimous vote of 7–0, Mirai was the second HouseGuest to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Miesha explains that Carson is her target and that she nominated Cynthia by association. On Day 15, after experiencing personal challenges, Chris Kattan quits the game. The HouseGuests viewed a goodbye message he recorded. Lamar (Cynthia's choice), Shanna, and Todrick were chosen to compete in the Power of Veto competition alongside Carson, Cynthia, and Miesha. In the competition, called "Reindeer Riders", HouseGuests "ride" reindeer to add time to their clock. Once time is added, they build a stack of snowflakes and lock in a score. If their clock runs out without locking in a score or riding again to add additional time, they lose. Shanna had the highest score and received the Power of Veto. Despite Miesha's requests for it not to be used, Shanna saved Carson, and Miesha named Chris Kirkpatrick as the replacement. The HousGuests received updates about current events while Cynthia and Todd have a heated argument. On Day 17, by a unanimous vote of 5–0, Chris Kirkpatrick was the third HouseGuest to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house. In the "Angry Glam Squad" Head of Household competition HouseGuests hold onto a wall styled as director's chairs that tilts and try not to fall.

As "nail polish" and "hair" is thrown at the HouseGuests, Lamar was the first to fall from the wall, followed by Cynthia, Todd, and Shanna; as well as Todrick, who negotiated a deal for safety, allowing Carson to become the next Head of Household. Miesha is worried that she will be nominated because none of her alliance members won the competition causing trouble between her and Todrick. Carson, Cynthia, and Shanna pitch to Todrick a final four deal, but he ultimately declines. Cynthia, Miesha, and Todrick, then inform Carson that Shanna has been playing both sides of the house in hopes that he'll nominate Shanna instead of Miesha. The four make a plan to backdoor Shanna. This later causes a nearly house-wide, only with the exception of Lamar and Todd, argument with Shanna on one side, and everyone else on the other. On Day 18, Carson nominated Miesha and Todd for eviction, with the plan to ultimately backdoor Shanna.

Following Todd's eviction the final three celebrate making it to finale night. Todrick reveals to Cynthia and Miesha that he's a Big Brother "superfan". Todrick pitches to Cynthia that should she win the Head of Household competition, she should take him to final two over Miesha. In the final Head of Household competition, called "Shoutouts", each of the remaining HouseGuests was eligible to compete and viewed a series of videos from evicted HouseGuests containing three quotes. In each round the competing HouseGuests must determine which quote was false and lock in an answer, with each correct answer earning a point. With three correct answers Miesha became the final Head of Household of the season. Cynthia and Todrick are each given a chance to convince Miesha to take themselves to the final two over the other. On Day 29, Miesha cast the sole vote to evict Cynthia from the Celebrity Big Brother house. Miesha and Todrick are also allowed a chance to give a final speech. The jury, consisting of all former HouseGuests with the exception of Chris Kattan, each voted on who they think should win the season. By a vote of 7–1, with Cynthia voting for Todrick to win, Miesha was declared the winner of the season winning $250,000 and Todrick became the runner-up taking $50,000 in prize money. Carson won the title of America's Favorite Celebrity HouseGuest and won $25,000.

Notes

[edit]
  • ^Note 1 :   As part of the Gala Gift twist, Cynthia was selected to have immunity from the first eviction. Additionally, due to the Gala Gift, Todd was selected to become a nominee during the Eviction Ceremony. He chose to take Mirai's place on the block.
  • ^Note 2 : There was a double eviction on Day 27. Following the first eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a round worth of games — including HoH and Veto competitions and Nomination, Veto and Eviction ceremonies—during the remainder of the live show, culminating in a second eviction for the night.
  • ^Note 3 : For the finale, the previously evicted HouseGuests voted for which finalist should win this season of Celebrity Big Brother. As Chris Kattan quit the game, he was not eligible to vote. America would have voted for the winner had the vote resulted in a tie.

Reception

[edit]

Critical response

[edit]

Todrick Hall was widely criticized for his comments regarding Shanna Moakler, Chris Kirkpatrick, and other houseguests in the house which were deemed by viewers and critics as mean-spirited.[49] Additionally, Hall received backlash from several former colleagues for his treatment towards them with allegations of employee negligence regarding pay and behavioral issues being mostly criticised.[50]
