Austin Armacost

What are you looking forward to most about this series of Celebrity Big Brother and why?
I’m looking forward to going back in, as the last experience was great. Testing your social interactions, and in this case to the breaking point, is always a fun experiment. I’m really looking forward to meeting my new housemates and hopefully making a few friends.
Why Celebrity Big Brother again?
I had such an amazing experience during my first time in the house and found it very cathartic. I was able to learn a lot about myself and about my character flaws.
