Big Brother 2014: Emma Willis doesn't want 'fame hungry' housemates

Big Brother host Emma Willis has said she doesn’t want to see ‘fame hungry’ wannabes in the house.


Chatting to us about all things BB, Emma claimed that the more controversial series weren’t always the best.

Instead, Emma wants a return to the “old Big Brother”.

Speaking about the show over the past fourteen years on air, Emma told us: “I think through the middle it got quite controversial, as if it was trying to shock.

“As time went on, contestants became more savvy. They realised that the more outrageous they got the more press coverage they received and the more money the made.

“Hopefully it can go back to its original format.”

Emma confessed that she’s cringed more than a few times at what some of the housemates have got up to in the house but insisted that it was always their own doing!

Same.

They have basically told us that with 'the cusp of fame' statement.

[Ramsay]

We'll never not have fame hungry HMs. It's not the social experiment type show it used to be. it's now a full on entertainment show like so many others.

[Kizzy]

:(

Emma is not a Producer

Her views are not valid

Everyone's views are valid and they are entitled to them :suspect:

[OfficialNathanBanks]

Isn't this said every year? :P

Sure but she has no power
to change anything.
She presents it.

[Samm]

Emma as right as always

[Cal.]

Hmm, hopefully they take her views on board. It sounds more like a fan using her position to cry out for the old show more than hints that it will happen this series.

[Denver]

Same.

But this hasnt been confirmed for all we know is rylan could of said it to get us talking about the housemates and didnt they deny that josie would enter because she not the housmate they want

[armand.kay]

They've been fame hungry for years. And I like it tbh.

[InOne]

Isn't this said every year? :P

I was thinking this. There's always some 'back to basics' type article floating about which turns out to be complete nonsense.

[armand.kay]

The channel 5 housemates are actually less fame hungry.

[armand.kay]

Fame hungry = desperate messy people = entertainment.

[CaudleHalbard]

It's a pity they are so camera conscious these days.

All the cameras should be invisible - I'm sure the technology is there.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Totally agree with Emma, would be great not to have fame hungry HM's, but sadly I don't think we will ever get a series like that again.

[smeagol]

The thing is it doesn't matter how normal someone is. i.e works in a shop or something. they still got to be a little bit hungry even if its just a taste of fame to do bb.
i think a few of the over the top fame hungry people are good. just look at the last show it made it. without them it would of been dull.

[drantb]

They've been fame hungry since BB2.

[Jamesy]

That would be pointless though... as they still know they're on a TV show. Only difference being they don't know where the camera is, but they will still act out and be camera conscious.

I actually thought one way they could get people the one year is by advertising people to take part in a new "social experiment study", not mention it will be on TV at all, then cast people from an interview-type audition. More likely to grab 'normal' people that way - and it would insert a new housemate dynamic into the show.

nothing wrong with fame hungry people. BB5-7 aka its peak were chock full of fame hungries

normal people killed bb 4, you need people that are deluded, with bigger egos than brains.

I don't mind who they put in, my problem is whoever goes in we don't really get to see the real them like we did when we had live feed, now we just get an edited 45 minutes from 24 hours and the 45 minutes we do see is usually housemates forced in to situations to make entertainment.

[Jordan.]

Surely she knows it's not gonna happen

[Maneki-neko]

I don't think getting rid of the game hungry people is the right method though. Usually the fame hungry people can be entertaining. The real problem are the housemates that are only in it for the money (i.e. Sam). They're the boring housemates

[uniquedude]

You could kill someone in the bb house nowadays and it wouldnt even be front page news, baffles me that people dont know this
