THE THIRD-ever season of Celebrity Big Brother is set to premiere on February 2, and you can tell the iconic house has been renovated for the stars.
The reimagined house in which contestants live and compete for the duration of their stay is decked out to look like a gorgeous Swiss ski chalet and is complete with an indoor fire pit and icicles hanging from the ceiling – but one staple is missing.
Celebrity players such as Lamar Odom, NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick, and Todrick Hall are competing for $250,000 on this season of Celebrity Big Brother – and even if they don’t win the prize, their posh housing seems like a sort of reward.
As soon as guests enter the house, they are greeted by a massive chandelier with 300,000 individual illuminated beads, according to CBS.
The living room features a cozy indoor fire pit surrounded by a curved couch and even custom-made travel posters that show different scenes of Switzerland’s landmarks.
Moving onto the kitchen, the space has been revamped with built-in appliances plus an island with a cooktop.
The dining room is set with gorgeous blue and gold tableware and is certainly ready to host a large après-ski party, or in this case, an après-competition dinner.
Despite the common areas feeling move-in ready, the house is missing one important feature: the iconic spiral staircase that takes guests up to the second floor and has been a staple to the house for 20 seasons.
It has been replaced with a grand three-level staircase that brings guests to the gondola room, which is meant to look like they’re inside a super plush gondola fitted with cozy couches and even a chess table.
Moving onto the bedrooms, each pays homage to a different part of the history of Switzerland.
For instance, there is a Swiss Ski Patrol-themed room complete with bedazzled ski boots, a pink room meant to show off artificial Swiss chocolate, and a room that features a massive 9-foot tall cuckoo clock.
Cuckoo clocks famously originated in Switzerland, hence the quirky room.
To pay tribute to the world-famous Swiss ice hotels, the Head of Household room was made to look as if was carved out of ice and snow.
The competing celebrities will certainly feel like they’re staying in a five-star chalet in the Swiss Alps thanks to the home’s massive bathroom that looks super high-end and its gorgeous sauna.
They can even stay focused on their wellbeing during their Swiss adventure, as the home is equipped with a small gym and an outdoor hot tub to relax in after a long day of strategizing and plotting against their enemies.
Although the house seems like a dream you’d never want to leave, Season 3 of Celebrity Big Brother will be the shortest ever, according to longtime host Julie Chen Moonves.
“I’m ready for Season 3 of Celebrity Big Brother,” she told Us Weekly.
“I think everybody is.”
She added: “Fans can expect the fastest season of any Big Brother, ever.
“We are evicting two celebrities every week, at least.”
Fans can watch the competition on CBS, its streaming service Paramount+, and other live television streaming services.
