12 celebrities of various levels of former fame are set to compete in Celebrity Big Brother season 2. Here is the full schedule, including airtimes.

Earlier this week, CBS revealed the cast list for Celebrity Big Brother season 2; 2019’s follow-up to last year’s network television opposition to NBC’s Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics. It certainly managed to please and surprise with the kind of celebrities brought in for the second season.

Among the 12 celebs competing this year include former professional athletes like the NFL’s Ricky Williams, Olympians Lolo Jones and Ryan Lochte, as well as former WWE wrestler Natalie Eva Marie, doubling down on the star factor that Metta World Peace and Chuck Liddell brought last year.

There are further comparisons for the Celebrity Big Brother season 2 cast to last year, including grabbing a political figure in hopes they turn into live feeds gold. Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci is set to compete, as well, perhaps setting the stage for a book deal like Omarosa did last season.

The rest of the cast includes Dina Lohan (Lindsey’s “momager”), Mean Girls’ Jonathan Bennett, singers and TV personalities Tamar Braxton and Kandi Burruss, star O.J. trial witness Kato Kaelin, host Joey Lawrence and alt-comedy legend (and first Canadian on the US versions of Big Brother) Tom Green.

Whereas the regular Big Brother schedule often sees houses of 16 or more players competing for upwards of three months at a time (99 days is the current record broken last summer), Celebrity Big Brother season 2 is going to be a lot shorter due to scheduling requirements of the celebrities. Furthermore, the celeb version truncates a lot of the gameplay, and will likely rush the Final Five through the Final Two.

Here is a look at the full Celebrity Big Brother season 2 schedule, including the premiere date and finale, with all times in ET and running for an hour long (unless indicated):

  • Monday, January 21: 8 p.m.
  • Tuesday, January 22: 8 p.m.
  • Wednesday, January 23: 8 p.m.
  • Friday, January 25: 8 p.m.
  • Sunday, January 27: 8 p.m.
  • Monday, January 28: 8 p.m.
  • Wednesday, January 30: 8 p.m.
  • Saturday, February 2: 8 p.m.
  • Monday, February 4: 9 p.m.
  • Thursday, February 7: 9 p.m.
  • Friday, February 8: 8 p.m. – 10 p.m.
  • Monday, February 11: 9 p.m.
  • Wednesday, February 13: 9 p.m. – 11 p.m.

Many of these celebrities have experience in reality television, but not all are versed in this non-stop gameplay. Hopefully, we won’t see people begging to be evicted like we did last season, as Celebrity Big Brother season 2 looks to be a barnburner.
