Default Do We Need A "Celebrity Big Brother" Anymore?
I mean, why are they still flogging this dead horse of a show? Just do two regular BB series a year if you need to have more than one show. This CBB thing, a bunch of nobodies put into a house, can't be a bigger draw than the main show.

What would the "celebrities" do without their appearance fees?

The "nobodies" get £30 a day and one gets £100,000. This lot of z-listers get tens of thousands each and some even more!!

In general it averages quite a bit higher than the main series does in the ratings so if you're going to call anything a 'dead horse of a show' then call the main BB that. Broadcasting two regular BBs a year would be a ratings nightmare for them. I'm not surprised it does either, since it moved to Channel 5 I've much preferred their celebrity versions to the regular ones.

It is though, most people would probably think the normal show is the dead horse that's still being flogged

(I am not one of those people though for the record )

We do need cbb. We just need to splash the cash on actual celebrities more.

This CBB is much better than the last BB. The celebrities this year are so weird. This is the best CBB ever.

I prefer CBB. Normal BB is usually full of twats pretending to be bigger twats and that irritates me after a fortnight.

I like CBB, gives us a chance to watch people we thought we knew to some degree...then find out they are totally different. Some in a good way, and some in a bad way.
