This years Hms have been on the cusp of fame .
 

The housemates set to take part in Big Brother 2014: Power Trip have already been “on the cusp of fame”, according to Bit On The Side presenter Rylan Clark.

In recent years, producers have begun casting notable people for the civilian version of the show, with the likes of BB14 contestant Sallie Axl having gained notoriety before signing up.

Although fans have criticised this trend – claiming it helps blurs the lines between Big Brother and its Celebrity editions – Clark has revealed that it will continue for the new series.

In an interview with Star magazine, the former CBB winner said: “The housemates are absolutely ruthless. You may have heard of some of them before, as they’re people who have been on the cusp of fame for a while but haven’t really grabbed it.

“Glamour models, people in the papers. Basically ruthless b*****ds.”

Despite the criticisms, such housemates have proven popular in the past. Tabloid figures Dexter Koh and Gina Rio were voted the best male and female housemates of 2013 in a bbspy poll in December.

The news comes after main show host Emma Willis revealed that technology will be used in the house this year – while bosses are apparently planning to break Big Brother’s fundamental ‘no contact with the outside world’ rule whenever they “see fit”.

Previously it was announced that former housemate Luisa Zissman will join Clark and Willis on spin-off show Bit On The Side this summer as a regular panellist and roving reporter.

Big Brother returns for its fifteenth run next Thursday at 9.00pm on Channel 5.

Oh dear.

Josie Cunningham is obviously going in

ughh

:facepalm:

Come on, let's not overreact. This, like the outside contact thing is not something we haven't already seen and are not expecting.

It just seems that CH5 are being a bit more explicit and honest in what their plans our this year. At least there is no presence. This is the Big Brother of the 10's not the 00's.

Everything we've heard has been awful

Liddia Railton-Newby is obviously going in as well. This isn't Big Brother anymore.

Lets not over react? EVERYTHING we've heard has been the exact opposite of what we want from Big Brother. What do they not understand?

They need to change the name of this show, it aint BBb

“Glamour models, people in the papers. Basically ruthless b*****ds.”

well they sound like people I'm gonna like :umm2:

@JosieCOnline: I'm coming off twitter for a few weeks - my management will keep you updated. People can be so nasty!

:(

Al hamdiallah

So people should be obliged to like it?

No thanks.

well they usually make the best housemates so this is cool

So its "Wannabe Series"

if it means really loud trashy characters idm so much
but yeah it'd obviously be nicer if these were ordinary people

That would make sense - with Emma saying about a birth and everything.

Is it just me or are they deliberately trying to piss off fans now? :fist:

Well it doesn't sound great but I will keep an open mind

I'm pretty confident and bbspy agrees

She's awful and just makes the show seem awful

You're right. This is insulting. Big Brother used to be an intelligent programme - from the general idea, production down to the psychology. This is just cheap rubbish aimed at the lowest common denominator. As viewers, we should be offended.

You my friend, are a genius. This could be interesting...

Deana was a pre famous housemate so idc, it's not like all of them are picked anyway

I for one am glad I turned them down. Whilst I was never on the cusp of fame, I know I was on some kind of short list.
