Celeb Big Brother - who?

[kefln]

From what I can gather this years Celebs are:

Two people who make money off b*tching about others: Perez & Katie

Two ex soapers: Ken & Nadia

A "that one" of being famous: Patsy

A "that guy that was once on the telly": Keith

A couple of reality TV/famous for being famous types: Calum & Chloe

A Model: Cami

Three that were famous years ago and no one has thought of since: Jeremy, Kavana & Alexander

The train wreck: Alicia

Who?: Michelle

Poor old Emma was going on about how this is the best line up ever for Celeb BB ever, but I found it difficult to get to the end of the show.

On the plus side, at least it isn't a bunch of 20 somethings off Towie. They have a nice age spread of different personalities and backgrounds.

But going off the "twist" they are hoping that Katie will carry the show, make some headlines, piss people off. And that the likes of Perez will fill in any empty space with name dropping and cat talk. Speaking of empty space, they might look for a couple of face shots of Alicia not understanding whats going on.

Anyone else feeling a little under whelmed?

It's as good as we're ever going to get though, no proper famous person is ever going to go in there cos they don't need to, it will always only be has beens, wannabes, reality stars and attention *****s........that's it

[Llewyn]

its like majority of them were pulled out of rehab to be in the show

[rionablue]

I know 80 per cent of them the highest percentage ever so I am happy. I will be happier once Katie is out of there!!!!!!

[jaxie]

Also underwhelmed so far.

Naimh Gary Busey was a huge name last year. I'm sure there are other slightly over the hill formerly famoius folks they could get to do it.

What? It's one of the best line-ups ever :think:

At least with Katie you have some potential for controversy. If she goes early what's left?

People keep saying that. Why, convince me?

He was but he is a "has Been" never the less, the problem with over the hill formerly famous folk is alot of them aren't that entertaining and probably are still harder to entice then the wannabes and reality crew :laugh:

Well, I guess its a more consistent list than normal. Most years we have one or two impressive names then the rest is made up of Towie Stars and Glamour models, this year has a better and more well known bunch

And I'm grateful not to have the usual Towie in there.

However is it odd that one of the HM's is considered a celebrity because they were once engaged to Kirk Norcross from The Only Way Is Essex. She isn't even engaged to him, she was once engaged. And Kirk, to the best of my knowledge, isn't in Towie any more. Which means that she is an ex of someone that used to be on a programme that was only watched by a selection of the BB viewing public.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting Tom Cruise to walk into the house. I know the level of Celeb that the show targets. But apart from being happy that they weren't all 20 somethings, I just didn't get all that excited by the HM's.

Maybe its because I felt that BB was looking to milk Katie, which means the show will be dominated by bad mouthing from the start.

what do you expect, de nero,de caprio Stephen fry?

wasn't she in a reality show herself? I didn't know her beforehand so I can't really comment on that anyway but as for me, Chloe, cami and Michelle were the only ones i hadn't heard of before which is quite good, it's usually half or more!

[Lostie!]

No, I'm not underwhelmed. Why? It's CBB15. I'm not sure why people still expect A Listers year after year.

[Suze]

At least no TOWIEs, Benefit Streets or whatnots this one, and for that reason alone the line up is a bit more watchable. Would love to see David Icke and Adam Ant in a CBB though, but that's never going to happen :(

[Beso]

it's good..a bit like civilian and celeb bb mixed together for me as I aint got a clue who 75% of them are.
