Americans???? Why do we need them?
 
Is it only me, but why does CBB have so many of them??? Why cant we mix it up a bit with celebs from other countries or even more UK celebs.

Or is it that there is a 'need' for the bizarre, loudmouthed, 'got to win at all costs' attitude to bolster the ratings?

Jen 19-01-2009 10:48 PM

Christ.
Controversial?

TomV87 19-01-2009 10:48 PM

Name some French or Sweedish or Italian celebs that are known in the UK?

Not many are there?

Thats why

The US celebs are bigger than the Uk celebs too

Spike 19-01-2009 10:49 PM

because they are usually good entertainment and we can get bigger US celebs than UK ones because they don't know about the show
All 3 Americans this series are much more famous than the British celebs and probably more entertaining than most.

andyman 19-01-2009 10:50 PM

Yes we need Americans!

*the end*

Ulrika is sweedish right?

and way they should mix it up a little.

Locke. 19-01-2009 10:51 PM

Because they are better than English celebrities.

Diversity. Usually the Americans are quite well-liked if I might say so myself. In CBB5 the Top 3 weren't British.

It's pretty much about who they can get, who would be liked, and who would be interesting. Verne, Coolio, and Latoya have all provided us with some entertainment this series, Dirk and Jermaine placed 3rd and 2nd in 2007, Traci is still a CBB favorite of many, and Brigitte/Caprice did well in their season.

Plus, the United States is one of the biggest sources of output from the entertainment industry, so there's bound to be some Americans. India, who has Bollywood which produces more films than Hollywood a year, has had Shilpa but I'm not sure how many Indians would want to go on Celebrity Big Brother after what happened.

I would say that the Americans have more class and grace.

Most of the UK celebs are trash

BIG-BRO-FAN 19-01-2009 11:01 PM

okay, not all UK celebs. But a lot are.

BIG-BRO-FAN 19-01-2009 11:03 PM

Yeah but as far as I'm concerned if BB:UK has American housemates, why don't they return the favour?


Oh and so you know I dont mind the 3 US housemates :D
