Well maybe you should and then we could send you some real British Class.... like
Helen Mirren
or to mix things up a bit
Anne Robinson

I'd prefer lesser UK celebs who actually know the show and the format rather than American's coming over for the pay cheque.

However, this time around the American's have proved their worth I think, unlike CBB5 when Dirk and Jermaine did **** all, and even the excellent CBB4 where Dennis Rodman and Traci "who the **** are you?" Bingham were little more than extras.

Well said!

Because American celebs are known in the UK.

When has celebrity BB ever had actual celebs anyway?

But these American 'celebs' are way way way past their sell-by date. As for them being better value, I thought Tracy Bingham offered way more than La Toya false-face. She mixed with the others, was slaughtered by mad-man Burns but came back smiling, and didn't have seperate living quarters to hide/scheme in. And she was sexier.

The UK "celebs" are expired. What's the difference?

They should do one with 3 Brits in it as well.

I had never heard of Coolio or Verne before now.
I was very familiar with Terry and Tommy and their backstories.
Why are there so few ex-sports stars?
And, yes, other nationalities please. Our media is too dominated by the USA imperial culture.

Too many Americans this year......it's allowed them to form a clique along with 'only men aloud' in the house, so that we are left with Ulrika as the only real female left.
Traci Bingham was ok, especially how well she dealt with mad man Burns. But the the other Yanks can Go Home. Though in some ways, Verne winning will just about sum up this year's show.
