Why is it always people that have famous connections who get onto Big Brother????
 
it makes it harder for the rest of us to get on the show...

... like ziggy has done modelling, had his picture up in times sqaure, was in a pop group... people with royal connections seem to get on the show too like george from last year, and lesley from this year

...also it seems to be people who already seem to have alot of money who get on the show too!!!


grrr! what happened to it being every day people!

should ordinary people even audition anymore as it seems their chances of getting onto big brother are getting slimmer!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::m ad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::m ad::mad:

Not always, just a couple maybe. They're probably the ones who are after the fame again.

They are obviously what the producers are looking for.
Its not about connections, its just a coincidence.

There have only been a handful of people with connections.

this year we have to ex boy band member, another with some [tenuos] connection to the Queen, a cousin of a prem league footballer, a relative of someone who stars in a C4 series [Skins I believe], one who has apeared in mags in a series about lookalikes.

they're at the same level as some of the Hms in Cbb...

Its not how you do in the auditions that count - its who you know who can pull the strings

But they are related to the rich and famous. Hence the topic.

yep showbusiness is worse than freemasonry for "taking care of their own".

Endemol also are in the mindset of thinking we are interested in Celebrity status with everything.

The main interest of Big Brother stems from a bunch of nobodys living their lives I believe.

Hehe i know! its stupid because ordinary people is what the show is all about, its supposed to be a normal person becoming popular on tv. I suppose the people with claim to fame lost their fame and are now trying to get into the spotlight.
aha, failures.

easypeasy 02-06-2007 03:14 PM

Endemol thrive on the free publicity the gutter press give the show when housemates celeb/porn/drug taking/blah blah blah secrets hit the streets on a daily basis.
I wish the show would go back to its originol premise but wheres theres muck theres brass.
George Orwell would realise this big brother is just here to keep the proles dumbed down for the summer.
