[MrGaryy]

so, so z-list.

[InOne]

My girl Lohan :bawling:

[dj2k10]

vinnie jones is the only good one.

[andyman]

Fantastic list! Nobody for the vile teen brats to like.

[andyman]

My girl Lohan :bawling:She is vile.

[Brad.]

VJ is going in!!!!!

[biglover]

andyman I love your sig pic x

[InOne]

She is vile.

She is cool, she is into sex drugs and rock n roll, it's all good.

[Loukas]

No Lohan :(

[andyman]

Thanks Biglover :)

Lohan is vagina muck on legs!

[Rory]

Who?

[andyman]

Rory! Join the Vinnie fan club.

[InOne]

Lohan > The World

[andyman]

Silly InOne, very silly.

[InOne]

She is a feisty female, washed of her disney image with alcohol, blood and sick. She is perfect

[andyman]

Women like that all over the place, plus Lohan is a very spoilt brat! Only house she will be going in is some overpriced rehab clinic..

[andyman]

Rory change your silly sig.

[InOne]

Guess they may as well have crazy eyes Tanya in off Cooper Lane in then

[andyman]

Whaa? Lol.

[Captain.Remy]

Brilliant !!! Stephen, Vinnie and Ivana to win.

[eye sea]

Worst line up imaginable. Definitely won't watch, too many foreigners.

[eye sea]

vinnie jones is the only good one.

SIX of them aren't even British. FOUR are American!!:conf:

[*mazedsalv**]

Wheres pamela? :(

[*mazedsalv**]

I dont think that just 10 will enter on launch night.
I hope its 12 on launch night, then a further 2 later.

[CaraRawr]

what a disappointment. :'(
i wanted pam in.

[*mazedsalv**]

what a disappointment. :'(
i wanted pam in.

Hopefully she will be in.
Theres either 2 more going in, or according to IBB, 4 more, as they say 14 are going in.

[Captain.Remy]

People are disappointed because they expected big names but what did you all expect ? No seriously ? Lindsay Lohan ? Paris Hilton ? Why not Obama if we follow your rules. You guys are hilarious really. It's Celebrity Big Brother, hello !!!!
And big names don't necessarily make big entertainment so I can't see why all the fuss right now.

You'll deal with what you got and the "I'm not watching because there are no big names in it" excuse is full of **** and you guys know it. CBB4 didn't exactly have major celebrities but still was awesome.

[Jords]

Shockingly bad list after all the good rumours.

I think 1 of the 4 Girls Aloud girls, not including Cheryl, should have gone in.

[Joe.]

Agreed,

Some of the "big" names i saw i thought.. wow they are never going in. Only one i thought had slightest chance is Pamela.

What does make a change is more of these names i have HEARD of just like last year.

[BBfan46]

I really really don't want Basshunter in.

[tmx]

Were people really expecting the likes of Lohan? Cheryl Cole? Paris Hilton?

These people already earn millions for doing very little, Cheryl got £500,000 for 12 photos of her for a calendar. For up to 4 weeks, 24/7 she's going to want a multi million deal! She's getting £2.5m for next year's X Factor which involves her sitting down for two hours every weekend making a few comments

And Lindsay.. really? People REALLY seriously thought she was going in? I'd love her to but come on! She's a Hollywood A-list star, she doesn't need some petty UK reality show no one is going to watch

Yes, people really expected all 3 of them. That's ridiculous. It sounds like they didn't watch the last 6 series.
I couldn't agree more with what you said, big names are too expensive to afford for C4 and Endemol.

[Jordan.]

I dont mind this line up :) dont know who ill be supporting tho.

Just relised no Lady Sovereign :(

[Joe.]

I know. I cry! Maybe she's a latecomer, or this isn't official?

[Jordan.]

I hope so, this might just but be who they know is comfirmed :conf:. Really hope she is going in :)

[Chels]

Jonesy ftw

[Brekkie]

A line up of two halves really. I think the male line up is actually rather strong and actually names I recognise. Crucially though, they're the sort of characters you could see them casting for a regular series too.

The female line up is the worst yet though - 4 out of the 5 are in no way celebrities, and the one that is wouldn't make it past the first stage of auditions in a regular BB.

[ILoveTRW]

i like this list, possible the one of the best line up ever

Yeah, I agree. Males are definitely good but the female lineup is disappointing. Also no offence, but there's too many foreigners in the lineup. It'd be better to have more Brits in there.

[Smithy]

i think pammy myt end up going in as a late comer

[danda012]

Yeah, I agree. Males are definitely good but the female lineup is disappointing. Also no offence, but there's too many foreigners in the lineup. It'd be better to have more Brits in there.

I don't even know who any of the females are yet i know who most of the males are. Is this a wise move?

[Smithy]

I don't even know who any of the females are yet i know who most of the males are. Is this a wise move?

they are probably tryin to target a wider audience, older people will know who ivanna trump & stephanie beecham are, whereas people who read the sport will know who nicola T is. younger people will no the russian girl from the press etc

[Raph]

what about Pamela and Lindsay?
this happened to me last year too.. i got excited about Raven Symone and then she never came =/

People need to understand that Lindsay Lohan would NEVER do Big Brother. She is an A Lister who has a good career in Hollywood and is worth millions of dollars. Why would she suddenly do Big Brother?!

Now... Pamela is a possibility... after all, she did do the Australian Big Brother. But Channel 4 would need to splash out a lot of money on her... do C4/Endemol have that sort of money? Probably not.

[Brekkie]

I agree - it's not about foreigners, it's about having people who get the show and don't just see it as a pay cheque - so I'm fine with Basshunter as he's been on BBLB and Big Mouth a few times and on other things has come across as the sort of person who should be on it - but Heidi Fleiss - no way. Fine to bring in Americans if they're a big name (even if like Dennis Rodman they're a huge disappointment!) - but when it comes to the minor celebs at least go for the people the Brits will recognise, such as ex-soap stars and one hit wonders.

Pamela is far more famous than Lindsay Lohan, and needs BB far less. vinnie Jones must be skint though - amazed he's even rumoured for it, never mind looking set to be in it. I'll be hugely disappointed now if he isn't.

[danda012]

Why are Big Brother so persistant to put ex-girlfriends/boyfriends of celebs in the house? They should put more less-known TV personalities from UK (ones who aren't in work as much) rather than these.

Pamela did the Australian Big Brother but I can't see her living in a house for 3 weeks long. Not possible.

[President]

Pamela did the Australian Big Brother but I can't see her living in a house for 3 weeks long. Not possible.
Very true. When I said Pamela could be a "possibility", I was thinking more of short stint like a couple of days. No way will she go into the house and stay there for 3 weeks! Lol.

[Captain.Remy]

Maybe a few days just like she did in Australia aka not sleeping there... But I don't think C4 wants to waste a housemate for this.

[Smithy]

they could give her her own room and private bathroom like with la toya

[Callum]

Yeah, I didn't really think Lindsay would go in.

[Arneldo]

So, the average age if housemates must be what - 60?.

[LaLaLand]

I'm a bit underwhelmed at that list but heh, it's quality not status.

I think with the recurring rumours of Lohan, Anderson, Hammer etc it got me all a bit too excited.

It is a good list though minus about three, some great characters! (Trump, Beacham, Fleiss, Jones) could make a good series.

[andyman]

Good housemates. :) not one vile snot brat in sight.

[Stu]

Good list. Some of you are hillarious with your expectations. Get a grip.

[andyman]

With the product placement lift it should fire intrest from other networks..

[Arneldo]

Anderson, Lohan - they were NEVER going to do it. They are A-list Hollywood Celebrities, getting offers for work every single day. They don't need it.

['Conor]

so who exactly was davina referring to when she said im suprised at some of the people that said yes to go in ! like there is only 1 famous person there and thats vinnie jones

[Arneldo]

Ivana Trump? She is famous ... to a certain extent.

[supergirthuk]

Yeh! Cos The Scum arent a bunch of liars are they! Anyway why would an A-list chance damage to their rep in being associated with the likes of this?

[supergirthuk]

I wish Eminem and Lady Gaga were going in. :-)

[Gavin]

Haha, what a **** lineup!! Nicola T and the Russian model don't even qualify for "Z List" status. That's how awful this lineup is... probably the worst ever. Obviously Channel 4 were fibbing when they said more celebs were interested in appearing on this series... typical Channel 4.

Not even Hook Nose will be making her orgasmic noises and gurning over this lot when her dirty face is on our screens tomorrow. Atrocious lineup, atrocious host, atrocious production team, guaranteed atrocious tasks and twists.. this series will be a huge disaster and cost Channel 4 millions when the ratings end up at all time lows!!

[001steven]

They had this last year so don't get your hopes up,

But if true Eheres my Girl Pamela Anderson :(

[andyman]

Yep Gavin.

Will your church support Sir Vinnie Jones?

[Gavin]

Yep Gavin.

Will your church support Sir Vinnie Jones?
The Church doesn't support anyone until the show begins. But we will ensure that whoever we endorse wins. We have a fantastic track record... we've endorsed Ulrika, Sophie and Rachel in the past and all three won (against odds as well).

[georgehudson]

No Lindsey Lohan !
But glad Alex Reid is going in !

Bet this list is just a load of **** anyway !

[WOMBAI]

SIX of them aren't even British. FOUR are American!!:conf:

They have their own show - why are they doing ours! We want our own home-grown celebs! Maybe no Brits were interested! Does rather make a mockery of the whole thing!

[WOMBAI]

Fantastic list! Nobody for the vile teen brats to like.

No - just the male macho brats instead! Not much to choose between! :joker:

[andyman]

BB9.. Good
CBB6.. Bad
BB10.. Bad
------
CBB7.. Please don't repeat the same mistake.

BB11.. As above.

Vinnie Jones is a good man, a man that Jesus would have a wine with and chat about the Jews and Roman law.

[andyman]

No - just the male macho brats instead! Not much to choose between! :joker:But we have no brat in the house which will get the vile teen brat vote.

You will be supporting Vinnie Jones? :)

[Redmond]

That is a very lackluster line up. There is no "draw" there, the fairly big name that will bring the punters. I expected one of Pamela Anderson or MC Hammer to be in it because they'd been rumoured a lot.

And no Lady Sovereign either. :(

[Braden]

Ekaterina Ivanova :lovedup:
So gutted about Pamela not being included though :(

[Tom]

MC Hammer?! :bawling:

[Tom]

[Updating]
Thanks Tom :).

So it's pretty similar to other series, not older which I originally thought. CBB3 had some old housemates!

[\PJ/]

Thats a great list IMO.

[Tom]

Rest of the averages done, this year is pretty average for ages really

[Patrick]

2 more will enter at a later date.

Basshunter is the only worthy winner, this series will be ****.

John and Edward will enter at a later date :D

[MarkWaldorf]

the problem with this list is that they could be potentially really entertaining - but the names aren't that appealing.

[MusicMan]

I wonder if Basshunter is the name he'll go by in the house

[Tom]

the problem with this list is that they could be potentially really entertaining - but the names aren't that appealing.

They have 5 better known names. What they're best off doing is putting them in a similar order to this

Alex Reid
Unknown
Stephanie Beacham
Unknown
Basshunter
Unknown
Unknown
Stephen Baldwin
Unknown
Vinnie Jones

More people watch towards the end of the show, Stephanie sustains interest for older viewers and Stephen then regenerates it, with Alex and Basshunter for younger viewers and Vinnie Jones in last as the star of the show which they do every year.

[andyman]

Basshunter is the only worthy winner, this series will be ****.

John and Edward will enter at a later date :DAye, brats have nobody to support.

[Smithy]

Basshunter is the only worthy winner, this series will be ****.

John and Edward will enter at a later date :D

Are you judging on whether they should win on how big they are??
what if he does nothing in the house and just sits there like a noodle
