Celebrity Big Brother cast rumors: Mark Long joins list of potentional houseguests
By Ryan Gamble
New Celebrity Big Brother cast rumors hit Twitter this week. Former Big Brother winner Evel Dick posted that Mark Long is joining the cast. It’s possible that he is just joking with his Twitter followers, but Dick Donato has a history of possessing “inside information.”
Mark Long has a long history with MTV, participating in a wide variety of reality competition shows. It includes a number of appearances on The Challenge. He appeared in seasons of The Duel, The Gauntlet, and Battle of the Sexes, racking up a lot of monetary winnings over the years.
Mark Long could be a ringer for Celebrity Big Brother cast
As Evel Dick alluded to on Twitter, Mark Long could be really good at CBBUS challenges. That could present an interesting wrinkle to the cast, especially since he could represent an older demographic quite well. He is now 46 but has been able to keep up with much younger competitors on MTV shows.
Some CBS viewers might not recognize Long or know many of his past credits. But he could bring his own fans as new viewers to the Big Brother series. Competing for the prize on CBBUS may be for charity if recent rumors are correct, but it could be possible for Long to come away with the biggest win of his reality competition career.
Celebrity Big Brother season premiere coming up soon

It will be a shortened season taking place during the winter, giving CBS a show to put up against the Winter Olympics airing on NBC. There have been a lot of Celebrity Big Brother rumors. It includes mentions of Gary Busey entering the CBBUS house. Nothing has been confirmed by producers of the show just yet.
