I'm glad:D, marmite as they are and irritate some they are entertaining IMO and will cause controversy as usual and hopefully show a different side to themselves:).

I am really over the moon, they will be annoying (I hope) to some of the other housemates but they will be entertaining too.
A good choice and a great decision by them to go in too.

You have got to be ******ing kidding me. You'd think C5 would have gone ALL out to secure some huge names. Instead they pay over a million quid for a couple of irrelevant X-Factor rejects? Really, C5? Really?

Add to that the no live stream mess, and we're off to a terrible start. Wow.

Although they're not Hollywood, they do have a rather large fanbase behind them. Yes, that fanbase is mostly teenage girls, but it's still a large fanbase regardless. They could bump up the ratings a little bit anyway. They've managed to sell out quite a few big venues on their tour at the moment. There's definitely worse people they could have got on the show. (ie Sue Katona... I don't see any Sue Katona fans online! :hugesmile:)

Sue Katona > your faves :nono:

These figures surrounding Jedward are just BS put about by their PR to hype up their importance. No way would ch5 pay that much for those two losers.

Even ITV2 ditched them after one series and they usually cling on to any old rubbish.

Losers?? I think not.Being offered 1.1 milion to go into CBB, I don't think the word loser possibly in any way applies.

Many celebrities would near kill to be offered that for about 3 weeks on TV. Well done to Jedward and also to Louis because he has managed them brilliantly.

well they came 6th and 8th in competitions they entered so they are losers.

and that figures BS. Dont believe everything you read...especially when it changes every other day.

We have had this discussion before Zippy,6th out of 12 is not a loser, its actually in the top half of the finals really, as to 8th in Eurovision, that is even more successful, to come 8th out of 25 Countries on the strength of 42 other Countries votes.Again well in the top half of the competition.
Everyone cannot win in competitions and they did far better than most in both the finals you list.

However, again as I've said many times, you hate them, I really like them and it seems TV companies really like them too.

As for not believing the figures, you don't know they are wrong just as I cannot be 100% sure they are right,however on past contracts they have been paid very high sums and still are raking the funds in so they are going to be around on TV for many years yet,likely decades even.

They have a few advertising contracts but nothing huge. One direction have done similar campaigns even. And you don't know what they earnt. The press talk BS about figures and always inflate hugely.

and given that their main appeal lies mainly with small children(like Louis always claims) they certainly will not still be around when their youth fades. They won't get away with wacky hyper behaviour as grown men. Then what do they have to offer? Sod all.

Would be interesting to see if they ever sleep

I can just see them calling each other stupid names in the dark and then Sue pipes up: SHUT THE **** UP YOU ****ING LEPRECHAUNS!

Am I the only one who doesn't want them to go in there?

I find them so irritating, and not in an entertaining way.

They are god awful, and will be horrible to watch. There is something almost sinister about them as well :suspect:

No I agree. I don't know when irritation became a synonym for entertainment either.

Thank god there's other sane people out there, lol.

The only time it may be interesting and that's a big MAY, is if only one of them becomes a housemate and the other stays away.
If they both go in then they'll just dominate the show like big annoying kids.

If someone really had a go at them could see them crying and having a mental breakdown :amazed:

I'd watch that :amazed:

but I don't think there's anything behind the eyes for them to realise how awful they really are though. They're basically cyborgs programmed to only compute being a massive arsehole

Is them being retarted an act then or are they just like that?

i cant believe Jedward are going in and Ireland cant watch it :bored:

we should do a house swap

fancy 3 weeks on the sunny south coast?

sure :D but you wont be able to watch bb here lmao

*packs bags...and Jedward voodoo dolls*

Which big names could they get to do this show? Seriously? A lot of the big names would not touch it.

They aren't ******* with the money they have earnt.

So it's an act :suspect:

Thats down to their agents/management. Not them

Really? So who went on the X Factor? They did. They knew they could create an impact if they went on the show and thus have earnt money from it.

well quite

they just do as theyre told.

and nobody knows what they've earnt. Ive seen many instances where the press make out celebs have huge wealth...then we find out theyre actually bankrupt and struggling.

Mary Byrne was said to be on for a million but then she announced that she had only made several thousand since the show last year and was living off her savings. She'll be squeezing herself back behind that checkout again soon.

Does make me laugh when people assume 'celebs' are loaded just because they have appeared on TV or brought out one single.

Lots of people apparantly said exactly the same as to Ant and Dec aka PJ and Duncan, but look where they got to from being zany,whacky, hyper and appealing mostly to Children and teenage girls initially too.

You are just being a bit unfair to them(and usually you are not unfair at all),that is simply because you don't like them so comment from bias against them, thankfully they don't need to rely on you but I think you will find their many, yes many, followers 'will' actually stay with them because it's not just music they are involved in, they are head hunted for lots of TV and a variety of shows/programmes, its clear to me that Louis Walsh is establishing them on TV as TV performers and stars and one day they will be presenting shows like Ant and Dec have,(mark my words),for many years to come once that starts.

I hope they don't. if Kerry Katona and her Mum are in there too, I would love to see how annoyed and irrtated they get with them. :joker:

They didn't know anything.

They went on X Factor like a lot of other sad people who can't sing believing they had great voices and could "be like Britney". They were very lucky there was an Irish and mentally unstable judge to support them.

Well, they stayed in the competition for 6 weeks in the finals(with 6 acts going out before them), only on the strength of people in the UK voting for them too, Ireland couldn't vote on x factor then.
So clearly a lot of the UK viewers also saw what Louis Walsh saw too.

Some people KNOW how to make an impact and how to create a lasting image in the minds of people. The moment louis say them, he knew he was onto something good with them.
