Not really getting at you CharlotteSometimes but I read the threads about them on different forums and most of the posts are by people that are sick of them.Maybe I'm missing the point but if I was fed up with them then I'd just avoid them as much as possible.
I understand that they're in the papers most days but that's because lots of people do still enjoy reading about them.
Lets face it it's a nice change from Jade!:mad:
There are so many more people that are in the papers even more Kerry Katona springs to mind or Jordan but I just avoid reading about them as I have no interest and wouldn't waste any time or effort moaning about them-oops I just did :laugh:
At least Chantelle won BB and every other winner has been in the papers for a while so I think millions of people think she deserved her fame.She now has her own show which like it or not means she'll be around for a while longer so she's making every effort to earn her celebrity status for something other than BB.

Take a look at the amount of threads that have been posted on this section of the forum - there's even a thread about them buying a cup of coffee. If you can't see why some would find that facile, then nothing I say in reply to your post is going to penetrate. I'm a fan of BB, and as such find the fact that it has been hijacked by the most vacuous people imaginable extremely annoying. So as such, replying to threads about them is entirely justified. A forum is about exchanging opinions, not about the blind leading the blind. As a mod, that's something I would've expected you to appreciate.
That's debatable. The blanket coverage is such that it's not practical to go with an alternative at the moment, because there really isn't any. I enjoy flicking through magazines as much as anyone else, but I'd rather not have to encounter these pointless individuals every other page.
Jade was quite entertaining on Davina's chat show last week. At least she's done well on her own merit, and now runs her own business, too. She still has a tendency to spout nonsense, but she's far more deserving of celebrity status than Chantelle will ever be - and ditto Kerry Katona.
No other winner of BB has had anything like this amount of attention. There's a difference between coverage and overkill, after all. As for having 'her own show', it's essentially Davina's
Streetmate with a few frills added here and there. And the fact that she's making such an inept job of it on a minority channel with a tiny audience would suggest that she's not making quite as much 'effort' as you suggest. She's merely taking the pay-cheque that's been offered - she didn't come up with the format of the show, and you won't find her name in the production credits for that matter, either. Celebrity should have creativity, talent and ability as its bedrock, but Chantelle doesn't possess any of those qualities.

You do seem rather bitter and argumentative- see LINK
Are jealous that someone else is happy?
Surely I'm allowed an opinion, even if you strongly disagree?

The usage of the term suggests that you're of a more senior generation, although I seem to recall you've mentioned your age here before, and you're not too far from Preston's age yourself. Therefore, it is indeed questionable.
LOL! That's really quite pathetic! You don't like the fact that anyone else has a valid point that differs from your own, so you accuse them of looking for an argument! :joker: What you really mean, of course, is that it's easier to make fatuous accusations than it is to construct a reasoned, rational point of view. I suggest you look at your link once again, and see whom it really applies to. :wink:
Why would I be jealous of your perception of happiness? Mine is entirely different to a candy floss world of deception and greed, but if that's what you enjoy, then you're welcome to it.
See, there you go again. Nobody is saying that you're not entitled to your opinion, yet you quite willingly make ludicrous accusations suggesting that people are being argumentative, just because they disagree with you. Why not try and construct a viable rebuttal, rather than trying to claim some sort of non-existent moral high ground?
