Lets be honest all of the housemates want celeb status and I think the chance for them to be in celeb BB after the civilian one has ended would make them more comptetitive than ever.

I hate the fact the winner is just forgotten about 2 days after seeing as CBB steals their thunder.

I personally would like it.

[Niamh.]

That's not a bad idea actually Daniel

[Josy]

Winning BB doesnt make someone a celebrity imo so no.

And HM's that just want to be famous are exactly what the producers are supposedly trying to avoid this year.

[Pronshi]

Well as much as I hate fail wannabe Celebrities in this horrible z list culture.
I guess they deserve to be put in there.
Plus I agree with them being forgotten about. A bit annoying actually.

[Ramsay]

Like i said in the other thread, that would mean the winner would have an unfair advantage

Hence them being rewarded with a chance to become a celebrity.

Producers will never find a housemate who doesn't want some sort of fame its been 13 years now.

I loved the glory days when we as viewers had the power to make these normal people into celebrities and if im paying for someone to win only for them to be forgotten about a few days after due to CBB stealing their thunder then I want to see more of them.

why...just why... **** 'celebrity' status, it means nothing

Remember him? The fact he showed up for the final is beyond me.

He admitted he wanted fame and to be noticed when he walked into a room but then said he got scared and backed out by leaving.

I think it would definitely make people more aware of the civillian series, but it would be a bit of a struggle for them to go into the Summer Celeb version like 2 days after they just won their civillian one. Maybe they could go in the winter one, where it would boost up promotion for the upcoming civillian series?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I just think it would create more interest and defo give summer bb a boost in ratings if somehow it was attached to CBB

[joeysteele]

I am not against it but would prefer it not to happen.

Winning BB is fine but to then have them thrust on you again for a further 3 weeks or so is a little too much,in my view anyway.
I know there were special issues,(as in the case of John James with her), it was though a mistake I would say to put Josie in with the celebrities of ultimate BB when her series ended.
She was way out of her depth even without the John James factor.

So overall,I'd prefer it doesn't come about really.

[Gstar]

^ I agree

Josie going into UBB kinda flopped.

[HD]

No cos we'd prob end up with a ****** like Josie winning then walking.

[Jordan.]

No bad idea. They'd likely always win since they've had months to build a fanbase and they'd been seen as the underdog in a house full of celebs. If Josie hadn't walked in UBB I have no doubt she'd have been in the final 2.

[BBUKAUSFAN]

i don't think any housemates will want to stay in with celebs, especially if u think back to the last 2 winners they would never in a million years go back into the house.

[SharkAttack]

Changed my mind due to a lot of folks here changing it for me. lol. I too think it would be an unfair advantage and could take away from that "special" ambiance that half-baked celebs bring in their wake. The winner of BB would be like the serpent in the garden of Eden. Probably best to leave it alone.

[BBDodge]

No, a fresh set of housemates each series.

[Withano]

I'd like it until that time when they end up winning CBB too and that would kill the show for me a little bit

[aj2463]

Kinda like a Josie deal? Could be good, I'd let the winner wait a few days before entering CBB to let the zelebs settle in. Or maybe it doesn't have to be the winner that enters, because lets face it, the best housemates never win, they should work something for a couple interesting housemates to win a place in CBB

[Patrick]

Like in UBB? I don't know. In UBB it ruined the whole thing and Josie stole the All Stars limelight because she was 'new.' and people spent the whole Summer watching that trollop, where as people like Nikki and Nadia weren't as fresh in the mind.

However, I'd love it now maybe. As I'm a far more 'Pro BB' than I am a 'Pro CBB' person - so this would be funny.

Pointless and Stupid.

I'm sorry but if CBB is dull, then it's dull - and it usually is. If they need to rely on putting BB14 Housemates in to 'spice it up' then that says it all doesn't it? They should of done what Channel 4 did and not shoved another Celebrity series down our throat at the end of Summer, in the first place.
I don't want Big Brother as a show to become ALL ABOUT trying to compete for a chance to be in the exact same house, with a bunch of morons who think they're celebrities - just because Channel 5 have an obsession with CBB.

Well those days are never coming back though? Most people don't even watch CBB.

It's only viewed as a massive show because Channel 5 do everything in their power to ensure the Summer series barely pulls in 1 Million viewers.

Celebrity Big Brother is hardly a platform of AUTOMATICALLY completely launching you into stardom. Far from it. Like I said, most people don't even watch it - unless there's one person on it that may attract publicity, and even then the viewership isn't big enough to make a new Chantelle Houghton.

Either way though, I strongly believe Celebrity Big Brother is one of the main things holding the original series back from excelling. If Channel 5 had of scrapped it, and not launched with CBB8 - and just put all the budget into the original show, then maybe - just maybe, we'd not be having this conversation.

[Jarrod]

No, Sorry. Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother shouldn't mix. They shouldn't need to put in Housemates from BB14 to make their Zelebrity Big Brother interesting.
