Much to my amazement, my aunty mentioned how pissed off she was on discovering the majority of housemates already appeared on television shows. She always Sky+ and catches up during the weekend. I burst out laughing at her announcement on quitting this series. Explains the low viewing figures, because she is dumb as a fish.

She gave up because they've been on TV before?

In a world where reality TV has been prominent for the last 15-20 years then that is obviously going to be the case. Even as far back as the early years you had people who had been on TV before or who were hoping to be famous.

Fairly fricking obvious.

Past housemates would have also abused the reality circuit if Big Brother or something similar had paved the way for its dominance much earlier.
