After a three-year hiatus, Celebrity Big Brother is back! A brand new group of houseguests is about to take over—and if you thought Big Brother was dramatic, just wait until the celebs arrive. Season 3 stars some seriously famous faces, from Housewives (both current and former) to Olympians, and everyone in between. And, host Julie Chen Moonves is back to keep them all in line.
This season will be spread out over 15 episodes, which will air on CBS starting on Feb. 2. But since it's been forever (it def feels like it!) since the last season, here's a quick refresher on how the show works:
Celebrity Big Brother follows a group of famous contestants who are all stuck in the same "house," a.k.a. TV show set, together. They're totally cut off from the outside world—that means no screens or Internet—and they're under video surveillance 24/7. Throughout the season, celebs will battle it out in competitions and periodically vote one member out of the house to be eliminated. At the end, the last person standing is the winner.
And, in a twist that's different from regular Big Brother, eliminated celebs will become part of the jury. The jury ultimately decides who wins the season, once the show gets down to the final few contestants.
