Celebrity Big Brother USA 2018: Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio and Terrell Owens on alleged leaked cast list
A supposed list of the Celebrity Big Brother USA cast has leaked ahead of next month’s premiere. The list includes names like Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio and Terrell Owens. But is it legit?

The rumored list of contestants appeared online earlier this week. Besides Devenanzio and Owens, the rest of the list includes Lance Bass, Andrea Boehlke, Beth Chapman, Sammi Giancola, Gigi Gorgeous, Matt Iseman, Brody Jenner, and Tiffany Pollard.
However, there are reasons to doubt that this is the Celebrity Big Brother USA 2018 cast. For starters, Bass has already denied reports that he is doing the show.
“I’m not doing it,” he previously told Entertainment Tonight. “I am the biggest Big Brother fan ever. I want to play this game so badly, but it’s just, I’m not going to be in a house that long and not get paid $10 million. So, if you wanna pay me $10 million, I’m in!”
Former Big Brother contestants Dick Donato has also tweeted repeatedly that Giancola will not be part of the show. In fact, he told one fan on Friday that the leaked list was “totally fake.”
Still, some of the other names on this leaked list could be on Celebrity Big Brother USA. In particular, Beth Chapman recently followed Donato on Twitter, which has many think she will become part of the Big Brother family soon.
Devenanzio has actually faced multiple rumors that he will be on Celebrity Big Brother USA 2018. And the speculation only intensified when Mark Long wrote on Instagram that the two of them would be in the BB house soon.
But it seems likely Long was just trolling fans with this Instagram post. After all, if he and Devenanzio were cast on Celebrity Big Brother USA, they would not be allowed to say so until the official announcement.
Long also previously referred to reports he would be on Celebrity Big Brother USA 2018 as “#FakeNews.” And he told Challenge Mania this week that while he would “love” to do the show, he will not be on it.
Iseman also may be trolling viewers who want to see him on Celebrity Big Brother USA. Iseman has been tweeting references to Big Brother for several weeks, leading many to wonder if the superfan would be part of the cast.
Then, Iseman tweeted a photo of himself outside a sign that said “BB Reception.” Fans soon wondered if he was attending a party for Celebrity Big Brother USA 2018 cast members.
Again, though, this could just be trolling on his part. Donato even tweeted as much.
And the possible trolling continued on Saturday, when Iseman posted a video with the man who does the voiceovers for Big Brother.
Luckily, we may not have to wait much longer to find out the cast of Celebrity Big Brother USA. Reports say CBS will announce the lineup on Sunday during the Grammy Awards.
