Why bother going in there if you can't even stick three bloody weeks ?
It's kind of insulting to the viewers and the people that are voting to keep them in there when they constantly go on about wanting to be evicted!

I know that most of them are only there for the paycheck but the least they could do is bloody earn it! I think (in the past at least) they're usually getting paid different amounts depending on how 'in demand' they are but i would imagine even the one who's getting the least is still getting paid extremely well for sitting around for three weeks!

I suppose i can understand it a bit more in Courtney's case because she's very young, thousands of miles from home and in a totally different culture to the one she's used to, but still.........!!!

They need to put a stop to the upfront fees.

The earlier they go out, the smaller the fee should be.

I'm just gutted they survived birth!

Oh I think they would. It would just be a restructuring of the fees.

If they win they would get more than they get at present. If they don't make the final they would get less. Overall it could be cost-neutral for BB.

No they wouldnt even entertain the idea.
They are actors,models and tv stars they work for a fee.
I really dont mind that they dont care and i really dont care who wins, thats what normal BB is for this is just a 3 week freak show.

People are so determined to make BB a team sport and pick a housemate at the start and defend them no matter how much of a nob they are and they cant do that with CBB thats what annoys them.

I couldnt give a damn who cares and who doesnt some of the funniest moments ever in CBB has been from celebs desperate to go home but being kept in.
Just enjoy it for what it is and dont take it so serious its supposed to be fun.

"They are actors,models and tv stars..."
I only recognised 5 of them The Batersbys, Big Ron, Lauren, and Sophie, (just about).

[Ramsay]

bob is right..most of them are only in for the money
do you really think dustin would come in all the way from the states to get **** all at the risk of leaving first?

Just because you don't recognise all of them doesn't make them not famous or recognisable to others.

Nemo just got Benified

You likely wouldn't get too many celebrities agreeing to go in if they did that though but I do agree with you, at least divide the fee up into 3 weeks with the full payment being at the end of the series if they remain.

I guess though,the argument is they have to virtually put on hold for 3+ weeks any commitments they had to go in the house so they have to be compensated with a set fee no matter how long they are there as they have to be available for that period.

I do though understand where once in the house, it must get really difficult to enjoy the experience if it turns out to be something you realise once in, that you maybe shouldn't have done.
I really can take on board that very few,if anyone, can really know before they go in just what effect it will really have on them.

However, the likes of Louie still moaning at being there,(which I think is false anyway), after being saved by the public is annoying.

[user104658]

Like I said on another thread, they underestimate housemate greed / how much some of them need or want money, and overestimate how much they care about charity.

Have a bonus prize fund for the winner to personally take home... And watch them desperate to win.

[smeagol]

its one of the many reasons why i dont really like celeb bb. most only do it for the money and dont care if they leave. while some wont reveal their true selves as thy have a image to potray etc. plus we cant really accuse them of acting as most already are actors lol

louie has issues i was never buying the i want to leave and dislike them all stuff. i think he realized he was being a dick when was saved. though maybe he was just gutted he stayed lol

[DanaC]

I think it's interesting when they want to leave and get kept in. Makes it more of a social experiment that they're stuck there.

I also don't think Louis is being fake about wanting to leave. I think he's gone in there and after a few days realised it's a lot harder than he thought it would be. I suspect he thought that he could maintain a professional composure throughout and so protect himself from the worst of it. Difficult though to remain 'switched on' for a whole three weeks without a break. More difficult perhaps than he anticipated it would be once he was in there 24 hours a day with a houseful of other people.

Also: that sense of displacement and homesickness that will naturally affect most housemates probably highlights the sense he already has that life isn't 'normal' now his mum's gone. That kind of **** can creep up on you and floor you in unexpected ways.

I don't get it when the civillian people say they want to leave, because at least they win a prize fund if they win but as all the celebrities get money for entering I suppose they don't really give a crap if they win or get evicted as they all get the same prize whether it's the first evictee or the winner would both get equal which I think is stupid and the more time you stay in there the more money you get...So I can see why the celebs are like just send me home and all cause there's not really a competition in it..apart from pride and the only one in my eyes who is dying to have acceptance to win is Lauren! I doubt the rest would give a crap!

Because money isn't the be all and end all of everything and they just want out. I hate walkers in BB because so many people apply and would love to be on the show but by the same token I wouldn't stay anywhere I didn't want to be for 8 weeks just for a chance of winning 100,000.


I don't really get this acceptance thing, bottom line is some people will accept her and some won't whether she wins CBB or not. With 2 transgender winners already the public are not quite as unforgiving as is made out, but in all walks of life and whoever you are you encounter morons.

[cfromhx02]

I'm more bored by them makin out that they want to be evicted.It's so predictable and an obvious tactic to make out you're not really bothered to wards the viewing public if you do get evicted.

[smeagol]

what annoys me the most actually is when they say they are missing family etc and make a big deal of it. when they have only been in the house a week lol or less most times.
its sad. a month i could understand it but these celebs are moaning already

[MeMyselfAndI]

None of them bar Lauren actually WANT to be there. The faster they go the better, so Daneille was basically the winner of big brother according to them, with Ron second. They don't get paid extra for staying in longer.

Making this up, if they all got paid like 50k for example.
Daneille made 50k in a week, whereas like Courtney would make 50k in three weeks if they made it to the finale. They look at it like a job really.

[sampvt]

Vote me out is the anthem of a coward not being able to face up to the fact that they are not that popular anyway. Anyone deliberately asking to be voted out should be stripped of half their fees, that would stop them moaning.

One effect I have noticed that it seems to have on loads who goes into the BB house is it makes them cry, I've seen so many people on that show cry in the diary room, understandable though, I'd have a nervous breakdown in there!

I don't think Louie has really connected with anyone in particular either.
