Kato Kaelin recently spoke about appearing on the second season of Celebrity Big Brother USA.
CBB2 aired during the winter of 2019, with CBS seeking to duplicate the first season’s success in the winter of 2018.
Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves returned for the shortened celebrity version of the show – with $250,000 going to the winner.
Twelve houseguests appeared in CBB2, including Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, Blossom actor Joey Lawrence, and WWE wrestler Natalie Eva Marie.
Singer and reality TV star Tamar Braxton was voted the winner of former NFL running back Ricky Williams. They beat out Olympic runner Lolo Jones and Dina Lohan (Lindsay Lohan’s mom) to make the final vote.
Kato finished in eighth place – evicted on Day 20 of the game. It meant he spent roughly three weeks living in the Big Brother house that winter.

Kato talked about enjoying his time with comedian Tom Green and how he was separated from social media while in the house. His appearance “generated so much positive press” for Kato.
“I had this great relationship with pretty much everyone in the house, but there is some stuff that doesn’t make it on camera. There is some evil that goes on, and I was not like an evil… I was not mean-spirited at all,” Kato revealed.
