Should CBB cast more sports people?

[Denver]

Strictly and IAC both have 2/3 sports people per series while CBB have only had 12 over 17 series and non in 2 years also CBB have yet to have a sportswoman. Do you think sports people should be recognised more in CBB?

Sports Men In CBB
Chris Eubank - Boxer - CBB1
Dennis Rodman - Basketball Player - CBB4
Alex Reid - Cage Fighter - CBB7
Vinnie Jones - Footballer - CBB7
Gareth Thomas - Rugby Player - CBB9
Ashley McKenzie - Judoka - CBB10
Frankie Dettori - Jockey - CBB11

Maybe some female sportspeople for once? Otherwise no they're usually snoozes

Yeah I don't see why you wouldn't want someone based on their profession, as long as they'll make a good housemate

Well if I was a producer I wouldn't cast too many of the same profession (reality stars, soapstars etc.) I think it was silly to put two from EastEnders in, bet it'll be two from TOWIE next. :nono:

Evander Holyfield's explosive return?

[Firewire]

All of the sports people have been awful except Kellie and Audley

Pretty much, and I don't even like Kellie that much she bugged me sometimes with her behaviour.

She was a man when she was involved in boxing :fist:

[MB.]

She still is involved in boxing

[TomC]

I don't think the producers can afford them.

[Denver]

She still is involved in boxing

No wiki tell me she retired

[Denver]

Oh well she was retired when she was in the house so still counts as a man :fist:

[Maxxie.]

I didn't see cbb4 but I could imagine Dennis rodman as a good housemate!! He's eccentric af and if he went back in they'd be a lot of stories to tell cuz of his friendship with Kim Jong Un.

Also, Vinnie was a good housemate and Chris was good in IAC. So was Audly, Kellie, Razor, Frankie and Gareth so basically everyone on that list.

[Denver]

Dennis was a lanky piece of trash

[Denver]

One of the worst housemates ever

[Maru]

Cast Juan Pablo (former soccer player) from the Bachelor. He is from Venezuela and ees OK

"Juan Pablo Is the Worst Bachelor in History"

um

[jennyjuniper]

Absolutely. It would be great for young people to have someone who has actually achieved something to look up to, instead of someone who is 'famous' merely for drinking and having sex in public.

[reece(:]

No they are usually bores, not here for Beth Tweddle in CBB

[Maxxie.]

Besides most of IAC's sports people were entertaining like David Haye & Jimmy Bullard. Would love to see the latter do cbb at some point!

[reece(:]

The day Eric Bristow enters the CBB house is the day I switch off

[Papillon]

all the past Sports Personalities who'd appeared on CBB were already retired. No way you'll get a current Sport Personality as they depend heavily on sponsorship & will be worried they won't get a favourable edit.

Also, Vinnie was a good housemate and Chris was good in IAC.

Vinnie was awful check your facts.

Ashley shade?

I think Bobby George could fit the 'out of touch Grandpa' role ala Ron Atkinson.

[RodHull]

They are generally dull... lets be fair most sports stars are dull in 30 second interviews at sports events let alone watching them for 5+ weeks.

Usually very serious (goes with being actually good at something non dramatic) and have few interests outside of their chosen field.

Yawn yawn yawn... even more boring than reality stars usually

[Rob!]

I'm trying to think of any sports people that were actually good housemates.
Fatima Whitbread would be messy, let's have her.

Yeah I can see Bobby doing it soon
