I loved the glory days when we as viewers had the power to make these normal people into celebrities and if im paying for someone to win only for them to be forgotten about a few days after due to CBB stealing their thunder then I want to see more of them.

Well those days are never coming back though? Most people don't even watch CBB.
It's only viewed as a massive show because Channel 5 do everything in their power to ensure the Summer series barely pulls in 1 Million viewers.
Celebrity Big Brother is hardly a platform of AUTOMATICALLY completely launching you into stardom. Far from it. Like I said, most people don't even watch it - unless there's one person on it that may attract publicity, and even then the viewership isn't big enough to make a new Chantelle Houghton.
Either way though, I strongly believe Celebrity Big Brother is one of the main things holding the original series back from excelling. If Channel 5 had of scrapped it, and not launched with CBB8 - and just put all the budget into the original show, then maybe - just maybe, we'd not be having this conversation.
