Is The Situation the biggest ever celeb they've had?

[jackc1806]

He's up there tbh

[Vicky.]

Didnt know who he was til today, so no not to me :laugh:

[Jase.]

Yup, absolutely.

[Locke.]

Biggest at the time of going in, possibly. Biggest in terms of how big they were in the past, no.

[Shaun]

Coolio, Jermaine Jackson or Vinnie Jones.

[Jords]

Didnt know who he was til today, so no not to me :laugh:

Same.

Isnt he just a reality tv star?

[Vanessa]

I think the biggest was Michael Madsen. :worship:

[reece(:]

As big as Coolio, Jermaine and La Toya Jackson, Michael Madsen and Tara Reid

[Amy Jade]

No.

Biggest was possibly Michael Madsen.

[Lister of Smeg]

he's the most talentless one they have ever had .

[Vanessa]

No.

Biggest was possibly Michael Madsen.

Kill Bill ! :amazed::cheer2:

[Kazanne]

never heard from him either,and no biggest for me would be Dirk Benedict,michael Masden,alex balwin Jermain jackson,Laytoya,even martin Kemp is bigger

[Marc]

Didnt know who he was til today, so no not to me :laugh:

This.

Literally no idea.

[Monkey Slut]

he's the most talentless one they have ever had .

Kirk Norcross?

[Scream]

He seems very unfamous to me now as he seems to be very uncomfortable. When I saw his VT of him coming in I was like :O OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Now he's boring.

[Patrick]

Is this a serious question?

Coleen Nolan is bigger than him.

He's an arrogant, sleazy, unattractive bellend with a very abnormal six pack.

[Jordan.]

Biggest at the time of going in, possibly. Biggest in terms of how big they were in the past, no.

[iRyan]

He is very famous here in the US. Was the 2nd highest earning reality star behind Kim Kardashian one year.

[Brother Leon]

Jealousy is an ugly trait brah.

[Patrick]

*Steven

Also, Vinnie Jones aswell

[jackc1806]

He's massive in the us

[Nedusa]

Good to see his career is evenly balanced, a complete nobody on both sides of the Atlantic...!!!!

[Omah]

Never heard of him ..... :bored:

[Patrick]

Jealousy is an ugly trait brah.

I'm not jealous at all.

Look at the guys in BB13, far far FAR more attractive than this tit. Luke S for example had a six pack that wasn't freakishly twisted beyond belief - and although the BB13 lads were up themselves, they weren't this ******ing bad - and at least they had the looks to be proud of.

Anyone who calls themselves 'The Situation' and walks about lifting his top every 30 seconds, should be put down ASAP. What a wanker.

[billy123]

What? He is a total no mark.
Nobody knows who the hell he is and he seems like a right prick.

[Lister of Smeg]

Kirk Norcross?

joint top id say both talentless famous for acting like a prat .

[Gillian-73]

Well i'd never heard of him so i'd say no

[Vicky.]

He seems very unfamous to me now as he seems to be very uncomfortable. When I saw his VT of him coming in I was like :O OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Now he's boring.

Posibly because BB isnt scripted. He wont know what to do if hes not told ;)

[MeMyselfAndI]

Hes great! Jealous boys are so annoying

[armand.kay]

I think people have forgotten the Bobby Sabel was one in there.

[Macie Lightfoot]

He's huge in the US (not for the right reasons, but that's pop culture for ya.) In terms of American HMs he's definitely the biggest.

[Apple202]

I love how people think that because they don't know someone no one else does :laugh:

[billy123]

He's massive in the usSo is heart disease it doesnt mean its enjoyable to watch.

[Vicky.]

I love how people think that because they don't know someone no one else does :laugh:

Equally funny how people think that just because they do know someone, everyone else should.

[Locke.]

He seems very unfamous to me now as he seems to be very uncomfortable. When I saw his VT of him coming in I was like :O OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Now he's boring.

Calm down sasquatch it's only been on for 2 hours

[armand.kay]

But on a serious note yes he is!! I was genuinely surprised people didn't know him.

[Withano]

Worldwide? Definitely not. In England? No. In America? Possibly, but irrelevant.

[Kazanne]

*Steven

Also, Vinnie Jones aswell

Yes your right,Steven:hugesmile:

[Patrick]

Hes great! Jealous boys are so annoying

Why would we be jealous of someone who isn't that hot? Jesus Christ.

[Kazanne]

So is heart disease it doesnt mean its enjoyable to watch.

[Scotty07]

If you've heard of him it helps.:joker:

[MeMyselfAndI]

"Hes boring!" Hes been in there for 2h.

[billy123]

Even in America he is seen as such a prick that a fashion company offered him a cash payout to stop wearing their clothes because they didnt want to be associated with him.

He tried to sue them for $4million dollars for it :joker:

Earlier this year, Abercrombie & Fitch offered The Situation — and the rest of the "Jersey Shore" cast — cold hard cash to not wear their threads.
In a press release issued at the time, A&F said, "We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino's association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image."
"We understand that the show is for entertainment purposes, but believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be distressing to many of our fans," the statement continued.
"We have therefore offered a substantial payment to Michael 'The Situation' Sorrentino and the producers of MTV's 'Jersey Shore' to have the character wear an alternate brand. We have also extended this offer to other members of the cast.

[chuff me dizzy]

I doubt it VERY much lots of us had never even heard of him .hardly a worldwide superstar

[jackc1806]

Most people were shocked on twitter that he entered due to him being very famous in the US and well known with the younger generation and tbh is a ratings winner for this show

[Withano]

It's gonna be weird to see him in an actual reality TV show

[chuff me dizzy]

He's huge in the US (not for the right reasons, but that's pop culture for ya.) In terms of American HMs he's definitely the biggest.

BUt this is cbb UK !!!

Second highest earner to Kim Kardashian

[Saph]

He's not the biggest EVER, but he's probably in the top 20 for sure.

I'd say the biggest were Jermaine and La Toya ..you cant get more famous than a Jackson, can you?

[chuff me dizzy]

Second highest earner to Kim Kardashian

Widely unknown in UK and on this forum

You really dont understand do you ? last CBB Madsen was proclaimed on here as God, BB13 it was Deana ,and where did they both end up ? LOSERS learn a lesson ,Just because you fawn over a silly arrogant,over-rated little prick,dont expect us all to follow like sheep,

[dathadiguy]

I was surprised when I heard the rumour that he was going in, he is massive, cbb must've pulled out all the stops to get him.

Think he's a bit out of his element so far though.

[dylissimo]

He really isn't getting the recognition he should be in there, bet it's messing with his head since he's so well-known in the US.

Don't think people appreciate how big of a name he is to go into BB, was shocked when he went in!

[rionablue]

He's up there tbh

I never even heard of him Jack. If people dont watch whatever programme he is the star of they wouldnt know him. I heard of Julie, Cheryl, Julian, MC Harvey, Martin, Colleen and Jasmine which is the most I have ever heard of in any of the Celeb BB's so thats a bonus

[Jord]

He is up there with the biggest they've got.

Calm down lol

[Robertocarlo]

Never heard of or seen this "situation" person before? Certainly not a celeb in my book, sorry.

[Shaun]

I like that a lot of Britons accuse the Americans of arrogance and ignorance in the entertainment industry.

The Situation has 1.2 million followers on Twitter. He's by far the most current celebrity in there. Of all time? Maybe not. Will the average Briton know who he is? No. Will the rest of the world know who Julie Goodyear and Cheryl Fergison are? No.

[jet]

He was on Dancing On Ice here last year or the year before. He was crap at it and went out early on. I only know this because my wife loves the show and I watch it with her. :hugesmile:
He seemed like a twat then and it seems he still is.

He was on Dancing With the Stars in 2011... he's never done a British reality TV show before, though.

Also got 4.2 Million on facebook with about 15K people talking about him now....much more than anyone else in there.

[flamingGalah!]

I had never heard of him, but then I had no idea who Ashley, Danica, Jasmine, Prince Lorenzo, Rhian or Samantha Brick were either :shrug:

[vonnie78]

Love bb, love jersey shore, mike to win, he's a personality

[lime]

He is not the biggest celeb CBB has ever has had ,but he is certinaly the biggest C5 has had.He may not be too well known in the UK but he is well known world wide.
My family at home in South Africa are watching online because he is a HM.

[Ramsay]

yes it is BBUK but your favourite HM of all time is not from UK.

[MK3]

Kill Bill the BEST!

[toronto_matt]

for the under 25 north american crowd, yes most def. the guy may be a loser but hes HUGEEE in america and hes current. not like half the dusty old bags in there atm. they need people like him to attract more younger 21st century viewers, lets be real. just look at twitter with all the buzz hes creating. great exposure for BB to the not so regular fans, will be interesting to see the translation to ratings over the first few days

[toronto_matt]

yes it is BBUK but your favourite HM of all time is not from UK.

its 2012 bro, we live in a global world. you don't need to take boats across the ocean anymore. get with the times. the american housemates each year add a dynamic to the house you cannot create or manufacture. its great tv and it increases ratings.. #FACT

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

bro

[vikram84]

Is this really serious???? The Situation????? Looooooooool

[vortex]

I think Michael Madsen was the biggest star they got, he has faded but he has appeared in many movies.

[BBUKAUSFAN]

the sleaze is in the house... god help them all...

he was recently arrest/sent to rehab for a drug addict or sum crap??

guess the jersey shore cast didn't want him so he needed a new home? btw he is the worse person on jersey shore to watch.

[Bruvfan]

Biggest at the time of going in, possibly. Biggest in terms of how big they were in the past, no.

You put it best. His claim to fame is still very lucrative for him. Celebrity Big Brother has typically been reserved for 'washed-up' celebrities, but Mike is still in his prime. Being a reality star may not have been something to be proud of a few years back, it's debatable whether it is today. But in North America being a reality star is a sure fire way to make you rich and famous fast.

As for the biggest names ever that title would probably go to Jermaine Jackson or Michael Madsen.

Why is he a bankrupt skintass punk then? he has no money thats why he is doing it.
A busted hobo drug haddled loser.

[lostalex]

He's going to make very cringy TV. I woulda rather had Snooki, but this should be interesting.

He's certainly more famous than "prince" Lorenzo from the Bachelor, do they even show the Bachlor US in the UK?

[mizzy25]

ive never heard of him

[coolface]

possibly tbh

[Jimrod]

Didnt know who he was til today, so no not to me :laugh:

Same.

[Kazanne]

this is cbb uk though...to most of us julie and cheryl are more famous...

this^

[Kizzy]

Thought they all got nose jobs over there....jus sayin...
Julie was brill, wots yer real name though?...

[lostalex]

I prefer reality stars over soap stars personally. they are equally as trashy though.

[Blue Cadillac]

I've never heard of him. In fact, there are only five out of the whole bunch that I've heard of: Julie, Cheryl, Coleen, Julian and Martin. The rest seem like a bunch of z-lists to me.

[MeMyselfAndI]

He is the star of this years show

[chuff me dizzy]

I could not have put it better :idc: childish worship of a fake demi God

[chuff me dizzy]

They have been in there 12 hours

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What? He is a total no mark.
Nobody knows who the hell he is and he seems like a right prick.

Hes massive in America though.

[flamingGalah!]

Why is he called 'The Situation' anyway?? :conf: Bit of a ****e nickname...

[Black Dagger]

He's a big signing tbh.

But there has been bigger names tbh.

He's up there though.

[lostalex]

Why is he called 'The Situation' anyway?? :conf: Bit of a ****e nickname...

because his abs are so ripped that it's a situation, according to him. I think Aaron had a better body.

Actually Ronnie from Jersey Shore had a better body than Mike. Ronnie was more of a situation than Mike.

[Livia]

he's been in one reality show in the States, right? I'd never heard of him, I'd never seen the show and I'm sure I'm not alone. So no, I guess he isn't the most famous person they've ever had.

[BJ]

Agree

and he seemed a bit out of his depth last night IMO. It will be interesting to see how long he lasts. I can't see him coming out as the winner

[lostalex]

Have you heard of Snooki, Livia?

[Roy Mars III]

he is a house hold name in America

[chuff me dizzy]

he is a house hold name in America

But NOT in the Uk

[Livia]

Have you heard of Snooki, Livia?

No... I'm a proper square.

[Omah]

No... I'm a proper square.

Have you heard of Noggin the Nog?

:pipe:

[MeMyselfAndI]

I thought most people knew the situation, Snooki is just as big. I suppose not everyone uses the internet that much or use the channel Viva/Mtv

[Kizzy]

Think I saw jersey shore once, that snooki was a nightmare haha.
Theres a YT clip of her being punched by a guy in a bar :/

[Razor]

I was so happy to see him going in the house. But getting back to the OPs question, no Mike is not the biggest star we have had on BB.

[arista]

Coolio, Jermaine Jackson or Vinnie Jones.


Yes Shaun
they are bigger names


Very True

[Yayita]

The situation is the only one I know but I think he is trash. I really wish they would stop putting old and fat people in the house. It's a TV show and they are so hard to look at.

[Tym]

I really wish they would stop putting old and fat people in the house. It's a TV show and they are so hard to look at.

Beauty's in the eye of the beholder:)

Anyway, personally I hope he redeems himself, since the last few seasons of Jersey Shore were horrid for him (and he was addicted to drugs at the time).

I know him, and I'm surprised people don't:)

In other news, Martin Kemp looks like a badass.

[Slevin]

well obviously for it being in the UK of course hes not gonna be claimed as one of the biggest. i dont watch Jersey Shore but he is huge over here. just not over in the UK lol.

[chuff me dizzy]

No... I'm a proper square.

I must be too, as ive not heard of Snooki either

[flamingGalah!]

Actually Ronnie from Jersey Shore had a better body than Mike. Ronnie was more of a situation than Mike.

Eh? His abs are a situation? :conf: That doesn't really make sense, but from the little I have seen of him I can tell he isn't the sharpest tool in the box...

Besides his abs look awful, he has no 6 pack, just a screwed up looking mess :yuk:

By the way I have never heard of this Snooki person either, is she like Snoopy?

[Blue Cadillac]

I must be too, as ive not heard of Snooki either

Same here. I'm (ahem) in my forties. Could age be something to do with not having heard of most of these wannabe's? I mean, there's got to be something wrong when a 'celebrity' housemate admits to being famous for the men she's had affairs with! Jeez, I must be completely out of touch. I think most of those in the house right now could have easily passed to go in the normal (non celebrity) Big Brother house. I certainly wouldn't have known the difference!

No no. Michael Madsen, Stephen Baldwin, Vinnie Jones, Verne Troyer and Tara Reid by far.

[muchadoaboutnothing]

Quite agree Livia. It is so typical of the UK CBB to put Americans, who the majority of the country have never heard of, into the house and they must be paying them an awful lot of money. As for the question posed 'Is the situation the biggest ever celeb they've had?' Frankly - NO.

[chuff me dizzy]

No no. Michael Madsen, Stephen Baldwin, Vinnie Jones, Verne Troyer and Tara Reid by far.

Out of those I would only say Vinnie is a major star

[Big Brother Cartoons uk]

Given you would only know who he was if you watched the reality tv show he was on then no...he hasn't done anything has he?

He is not anything compared to well known actors and musicians.

I suppose he's equivalent to mark wright.

[Bluerang1]

He's probably B List, close to A. Here in the US anyway. And US fame = global fame. So stop being delusional those who say he's not "big".

He's accent is weird though.

[WozMan]

Kirk Norcross?

Norcross is a pick-up GENIUS.
