I can't quite put my finger on it but I find this mass media interest in this latest CBB very odd.
For starters, last year we had some big names in CBB and those series were just as good as this BB14. But those previous CBBs and BBs were more or less ignored not just by the newspapers, but by TV, radio, etc.
Steve Allen who has a show on LBC Radio used to say about CBB and BB, 'nobody's watching that rubbish' and for the past three weeks he's been talking about it as if he's watching it.
But it's not just him. It's everybody, from Radio 1 to Radio 5. Sky News to BBC News. From The Star to The Sun.
'This is the best CBB ever,' they say. But is it? Why the sudden media interest?
BB14 was good but the others have been great too.
So what was it that suddenly got everybody talking about this CBB??
I don't agree it was all about the housemates or what went on. For instance we had a couple of prize prunes in there who were asleep for the best part of three weeks (Ollie and Sam), and as soon as Linda left, the series became boring.
Explanation please.
