The Celebrity Big Brother Season 2 house is packed with familiar faces. But, if you think you recognize a certain alum from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, trust us: You're wrong.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

Dina Manzo recently took to Instagram Stories to put this plea forth to her followers. "I need you guys to stop tagging me on [Celebrity Big Brother]  @Dina posts ok? Bye," she wrote. Her caption accompanied a photo of Dina Lohan — got it? That's Lohan — on the show. 

In later Stories, Dina shed more light on the tale of the two Dinas. Showing another photo of her fellow Dina, she wrote: "She has a last name @dinalohan." But after she shared her messages, Dina's fans clued her in to what was actually going on. 

"Omg woke up to a million messages," the New Jersey native later wrote. "To clarify ... people don't THINK [Dina Lohan is] me. They are just not putting her last name in the post therefore leaving it as just @dina (that's me.)"

Meanwhile, if you think you spot Kandi Burruss on the reality show, you are, of course, right. The Real Housewives of Atlanta pal joined the cast of Celebrity Big Brother for its second season, and at least one former 'Wife is rooting her on. 

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville, who memorably appeared in Celebrity Big Brother Season 1, recently shared some words of support for Kandi and one of her fellow Big Brother contestants on Instagram. In the  February 12 post, Brandi wrote: "I need [Kandi] and [Tamar Braxton] to be top 2 on [Big Brother.]."
