Though she thought she was riding high in her position as the Director of Communications for the White House Public Liaison Office, Omarosa Manigault got a grand reality check when she was unceremoniously ousted from her position in December 2017.  Soon after her firing, Omarosa appeared on MSNBC to give her side of the story, positioning herself for a possible book deal and comeback story. However, no one could have guessed the former Apprentice star’s next career move.

In a move that shocked everyone, Omarosa is returning to her reality TV roots and competing on CBS’s Celebrity Big Brother. Though many of us assumed she would be aiming for a higher caliber position, this might actually be right for Omarosa. There is one reason one of the most notorious reality TV villains just might win Celebrity Big Brother.

If you’ve never watched Big Brother because you have bills and more pressing things to attend to, then we’ll break down the premise for you. Essentially, the show shoves a group of strangers into a house, and they have no contact whatsoever with the outside world. However, 80 cameras and over 100 microphones strategically placed around the house capture their every move.

Competitors try to stay in the house and win a $50,000 grand prize. As you can imagine the “celebrity” aspect of it just means that the strangers have more Twitter followers than the average contestant.
