"Celebrity Big Brother housemates Ron Atkinson, Carol McGiffin and Courtney Stodden have been shortlisted for the first public vote. The trio were chosen by &amp;#039;Cult of Celebrity&amp;#039; members Louie Spence, Sophie Anderton and Lauren Harries, who have been watching the group from a secret lair since they all entered the house yesterday (August 22).   &amp;gt; Celebrity Big Brother: Are these the most scandalous housemates ever? Later in the night, the &amp;#039;Cult of Celebrity&amp;#039; were each asked to choose one person to potentially go up for eviction in a &amp;#039;Ceremony of Judgment&amp;#039;. Spence chose Atkinson, arguing that he doesn&amp;#039;t think they have &amp;quot;a huge amount in common&amp;quot; and will likely just make &amp;quot;polite chit chat&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know much about football,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Well, I know a few [footballers] I fancy, but I don&amp;#039;t think that will go down too well with him.&amp;quot;   &amp;gt; Courtney Stodden: An introduction to Celebrity Big Brother star Anderton picked Stodden because she doesn&amp;#039;t &amp;quot;understand why she&amp;#039;s doing the show&amp;quot; and is already annoyed by the 18-year-old&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;hysterical high-pitched&amp;quot; laugh. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think I could live with that sort of hysteria,&amp;quot; she added. Harries went for McGiffin, describing her as &amp;quot;really miserable&amp;quot;, drawing scoffs from Spence and Anderton. &amp;quot;We haven&amp;#039;t got on together in the past, I don&amp;#039;t think we&amp;#039;re going to get on in the future,&amp;quot; she explained. The &amp;#039;Cult of Celebrity&amp;#039; members will later pick one of the three to face eviction. Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight (August 23) with a special live show airing at 9pm on Channel 5. &amp;gt; Celebrity Big Brother: The maddest lineup ever?
