Small small world. It feels like too many HMs know ex-HM and are using the advice.

Benedict knows Billie BB8, Nick BB1, Victor BB5, Darnell BB9 (porn)

Aaron BB12 knew Jade Good (RIP) and Kate Lawler (to be fair he auditioned with them then)

Rex BB9 knew Kenneth BB10 in same rich kid set

[Barf_andotherthings]

Caroline knows Ben (another Sloane ranger) from BB whatever.

I loved Dale! He looks a bit different now.

Obviously people will see their friends getting Z-list 'fame' recognition or even money from BB and want a slice of pie, but I do feel there is too much of this 'getting ex-HMs to give advice' going on now.

Luke S is very controlled and until the calendar task was coping really well (although coming across as dull). He knows what to expect and for whatever reason makes sure he's first in room (air time?), controls shopping and has a fauxmance ticked off.

As the saying goes, it's not what you know, it's who you know...

It is not a surprise as some of them spend their lives trying to get on programmes. One minute of fame seems to be their ambition.

Yes, 10 years ago. Aaron is a serial BB auditionee and mega fan - BB12 was his 4/5th time trying! He's probably one of the worst serial auditionees and has never kept this a secret even though some people tried to make out it was some dark secret.

When he tried for BB3 auditions he was in same 'lock down stage 3' audition group as Kate Lawler and Jade Goody, Lee the muscular gym guy seemed to remember him as well. Kate Lawler mentioned she remembered him when he entered the house last year. Aaron would have been awesome in BB3.

Loads of HMs are serial BB auditionees. Another one who auditoned for 4 different series before being selected was spitter Dennis from BB9, he started auditioning from BB4. This always sticks with me as he spent so long trying to get on the show (think he had links with production team) then when he finally gets on he gets ejected!

BB5 Ahmed auditioned for BB2, 3. Lea BB7 auditioned for BB5 and BB6 (she is seen on those BB audtion shows Dermot O Leary use to host to show us who could enter the house). BB7 winner Pete auditioned for BB6. Mark Henderson last year auditioned for BB11 and was good pals with John James and Dave the Monk.

both a couple of complete helmets

[Jords]

Prob gave him tips, thats why hes failing.

[Patrick]

Dale.

'If there's any fanny in there, I'm gonna nail it.'

Clearly gave a similar tip to Luke then. I bet it must annoy Luke, when he thinks back to seeing his mate on Big Brother all those years ago - and how good Dale's series was.

As did Faye Palmer - quite weird, she knew Mark a year before their stint in BB12.

[coolface]

and lucian and louise cliffe knew each other before they were on bb

[alex_front2]

I got the impression - even before Luke S task - that he and Arron are after a sort of 'male equivalent' of glamour modelling career eg calendars photoshoots red carpet fragrances.

A new sort of Z-list male celeb - previously males celebs had to have a talent eg football acting music but rise of reality TV and celeb culture has changed this. Look at Calum Best.
