They're becoming self-aware

[Greg!]

You couldn't make it up. Ridiculous channel.

[T*]

the show having Raph entering and greeting people whilst Craig was saying desperate for fame and desperate for success

[armand.kay]

A stupid observation because housemates have been fame hungry since atleast season 3. In fact it can be argued that housemates now are even less fame hungry because most of them know they're not gonna get much from the show. A few more followers on social media maybe but no one expects the tv appearances and mag deals of the early BB days....

Wouldn't take it as C5 shading themselves really, when this has ostensibly been true since at least BB8 with Chanelle (the most infamous example of someone desperate for fame).

This.

Chanelle's every move in the house was calculated purely for success on the outside and she's among C4's most well known housemates.

I don't think housemates nowadays go in for fame because, let's face it, most of them are "well-known" before they go in the house.

[Jordan.]

I'd say 7 & 8 was the peak for wannabe z-listers tbh

[*mazedsalv**]

I don't think they are even that fame hungry anymore as no one really cares about any HM when they leave.

[Oliver_W]

yeah tbh I believe people these days when they say they're in it for the experience, there are shows with a)bigger audiences with b)less indignity and c)easier than BB.

[Beastie]

Everyone is fame hungry. I'm just sick of the ****e they put in the first place. It should be normal people who don't know any celebrities what so ever. They should just put in 14 random folk who work in supermarkets around the UK 😂

Tbh, people have been saying "Oooh, they just put freaks in there these days" since 2004.

Yep, one of the reasons I detested those early weeks was because she was giving such a transparent Nikki Grahame impression.

[pontyboi]

Aww remember when they were on Judge Rinder...Michael slapped my boyfriends arse in HEAVEN the cheeky bastard!
