How can January's CBB be a GREAT series - My opinion

[Briancbbfan]

For me, January's series really is make or break. It is time for CBB to make it a killer series or consider leaving it to Netflix/iTV2

If I was the producer I would do one of the following two things to save the series -

SOLUTION #1 NEW CELEBS BUT BIGGER PERSONALITIES:

Here are the celebs who I believe WOULD do the show who I think could make great TV (it's so funny because after every series I make a potential line-up thread and literally get like 5 correct!)

- Lady Colin Campbell
- Janet Street Porter
- Tokyo Toni
- Kendra Wilkinson
- Rosemary Shrager
- Miriam Margolyes (She would take convincing but worth the cash)
- Dapper Laughs
- AJ Johnson
- JERRY SPRINGER (the key BIG name who I believe would do the show judging by his recent reality TV endeavours)
- Jennifer Ellison




SOLUTION #2 : WOULD BE BIG - ALL STARS
Personally if I was the producer I would go for a BIG All star line-up in January and pre-announce the cast with a wild west themed advert to create hype using the BIG hype generating characters such as KIM WOODBURN, KATIE PRICE, STEPHEN BEAR, CHARLOTTE CROSBY

This would be the people I'd consider in the line-up (I'm only interested in housemates who'd provide drama, Katie Price is the only included because she does bring in the viewers despite her cost and lack of value in my opinion):

- Kim Woodburn
- Farrah Abraham
- Charlotte Crosby
- Tiffany Pollard
- Gemma Collins
- Katie Price
- Luisa Zissman / Saira Khan
- Katie Hopkins
- Leslie Jordan
- Dappy
- Jim Davidson
- Perez Hilton
- Coolio
- Stephen Bear

What could CBB do to save the series this January in your opinion?

I think the second list you made of returning stars would be an amazing series but i highly doubt the producers would pull another all star type series or even a new atar and old star again. I dont really know to be honest. I would love to see Jeremy Kyle in there or Jerry springier. I recon it would be funny. I personally think that the civilian series needs more attention st the moment as oppose to the CBB series though.

Excuse my bad spelling in the post above! lol

Eamonn Holmes?! Dapper Laughs said on his YouTube he wouldn't do it and I agree that an All Stars would need to be big, have Channel 4 stars and not all the big bad ones because it's got to be evened out.

Farrah wouldn't be allowed back and neither would Janice and Coolio

[BBUK-Fan]

Civilian is the let down mostly but having a strong cast for CBB maybe not as many reality stars as CBB20

[BBUK-Fan]

Who I think would be big news for the show?
-Scott Disick, big American reality star
-Helen Flanagan, rumoured last year and be good to have a current soap star in there
-Eamonn Holmes, I beg he goes in with Ruth doing Strictly and he can have his reality moment after
-Jennifer Ellison, in your list and been on BOTS
-Kendra Wilkinson, it could happen
-A big TOWIE star, preferably Bobby Norris or Pete Wicks
-Sinitta
-Goggleboxers, I'd say Steph and Dom because they are very well known
-Nigel Farage, he wanted £1 million in January but they wasted it on Ray J instead

Who else?

No one wants anyone of TOWIE that's what drove CBB down in the first place - Reality tv stars.

Like are they ever going to not have any reality stars. TOWIE is the most successful and most recognisable. Geordie Shore and Ex on the Beach are tripe

Tbh in terms of entertainment Pete Burns was the only C4 CBB housemate that would have been worth getting back, but clearly that's not gonna happen oops

No other C4 celebs stand out tbh

GS and EOTB >>> TOWIE

GS and EOTB >>> TOWIE

All trash. As is Love Island and MIC. Ban them all. Ban Dapper Laughs too for the hell of it.

A big TOWIE star like Joey Essex would be better tbh

[thisisdanny]

GS and EOTB >>> TOWIE

Agreed - they've made better housemates/more drama IMO.

With the exception of Gemma, there's no other TOWIE housemates that stand out I'm struggling to even think of any tbh

[BBUK-Fan]

A big TOWIE star like Joey Essex would be better tbh

Oh yeah, he'd be good

[Briancbbfan]

A realistic line-up that would guarantee drama and generate buzz for a good line up would be:

- Lady Colin Campbell
- Kendra Wilkinson
- Jennifer Ellison
- Tokyo Toni
- Rosemary Shrager
- Keisha Buchanan
- a young pretty girl who would up for relationship any reality TV type

- Joey Essex
- Dapper Laughs
- Jerry Springer
- AJ Johnson
- Tyler Oakley (wants to do it)
- A Love Island Male star


What would you think if that was the line-up?

[BBUK-Fan]

I think Tyler Oakley could be big for the show if he wants to do it, Dapper Laughs says he won't do it and I don't think Lady C would do it after quitting Im a celeb

[BBUK-Fan]

Jerry Springer would be ideal.

[Morgan.]

Yeah Tyker Oakley, Shane Dawson and Colleen Ballinger have all expressed interest. I think Joey Graceffa has too.

[Maxxie.]

Like are they ever going to not have any reality stars. TOWIE is the most successful and most recognisable. Geordie Shore and Ex on the Beach are tripe

Uh, Idk how relevant this is but 1.1m like TOWIE on facebook and 3.3m like Geordie Shore. Instagram also has similar figures.

[Briancbbfan]

I also believe Tori Spelling would do it for right price

[Nicky91]

i hope it can be better than this years summer cbb crap

[BBUK-Fan]

Gok Wan? Bob Carolgees and Spit the Dog? Nigel Farage? Ideal housemates. :joker:
