Far too many "topical" non celebs like Geordie Shore, Goglebox, White Dee, David Mc and Lauren Towie.
I really wanted to see Michael Le Vell ( Corrie's Kevin).

I have no idea who this bunch are.

I know gary, but he's a cautionary tale at most. Little interest so far.

me thinks ya need to think more often and more deeply

For me it's not how famous they are but how crazy and entertaining they are.

Your mother missed out a ton of films, television and an Oscar nomination.

I was expecting to know none of them but I vaguely know 3 so it's better than I expected

Gary Busey was pretty damn famous back in the late 80s/early 90s. Starred in a lot of big movies.

Skip him singing at the start, the rest should give you an idea what he is like lol

being canadian, i knew gary busey very well, Recognized Leslie from American Horror Story and of course Will & Grace, heard of stephanie pratt.

Good choice of americans except Frenchy, but she seems entertaining so who knows

I think its a great cast, one of the best C5 lineups tbh

..no not at all, I think it's one of the best celebrity houses I've seen in a while and think it's perfect to have a few bigger celebs like Gary and Leslie as well as the lesser known ones like Dee and I hadn't heard of Kellie before....a good mix...

First Impressions? - Grim...

I know Gary is going to drive the house mad. i hope he isn't booted out of the house too quickly like Jackie Stallone was. I think jackie only lasted 5 days.

its brilliant and already slaughters normal bb as of entertainment value. well done BB.

Perhaps I should watch more TV but I did not know most of them.Not really a problem as it will be what they do not what they have done which will hopefully make it worth the watch.

I don't think anyone had heard of Kellie until the story broke two weeks ago Ammi :laugh:

i think boxing fans knew him, Orgy definitely recognized her right away, very awkward moment for both of them.

Oh yeah Alex we knew him as Frank he was well known in boxing circles back in the day, but Kellie only hit the tabloids here about 2 week ago, last we heard of Frank was when he stood as a candidate for UKIP about 4 years ago, and he also ran for Mayor of London.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.covers eyes and runs for the hills !!!!!..........

Well i obviously watch different things to you then.. And it's not all about watching them on tv, some of them haven't been on tv for a while, it's all about just knowing their names and what they have done and appreciating that, not just what they're doing now.. at the end of the day, they're never going to get the likes of people like Will Smith or Justin Bieber, so we've got to deal with what we've got, Gary Busey is one of the biggest bookings they've got for a while and more often than not the less known celebrities are the most entertaining, look at Jasmine Waltz for example

The celebrities that go on CBB go in for publicity reasons, they go in because to them it's a job and the money isn't coming in as it used to/should be, they use CBB to raise their profile.

The likes of Will Smith or Justin Beiber will never go in, they are way too famous, maybe give them 20/30 years off the screen, then you may see them in CBB, and your children will then be sitting there calling them non celebrities whilst you will be scratching your head in disbelief trying to explain that they were in your day:smug:

I am looking forward to this CBB, it's the best line up they've had in years;)

I agree with you, for me, it's one of the best line ups they've had, i love it so far, i'm just hoping its not a disappointment

No, I think it is a great cast.

It's a great line-up.

:pat:

Theres a lot in I like upto now, not even sure who my fav is ,really like Audley,Leslie, George ,James

:clap1: I think they are going to be really good!
