I think that now White Dee is regarded as a celeb, this country really has sunk to lower depths than ever.

I'd rather watch paint dry. Now loads of children grow up aspiring to be like these talentless freaks as some sort of career move.

Ah come on now, I don't watch TV but I remember a lot of these people from the 1990s.
You hit the nail on the head. ......Or watch the the 'Testcard', Much more interesting.
I suppose looking on the bright side. If they didn't have programs like this on the box, we wouldn't be out enjoying biking so much

[QUOTE 3238544, member: 45"]She's a celebrity who lived on Benefit Street. Non-one knew she was a celebrity until the cameras went in.
I suppose now you're going to ask what Benefit Street is.....[/QUOTE]
I've heard of Benefit Street and I understand the limited appeal of it but I question the mindset of those who chose to watch Celebrity Big Brother and its variants.

Just be comforted by the fact that no one actually watches Big Brother (or Celebrity Big Brother) anymore. Last series had less than 1 million viewers , and they would have been in the 16-24 age range.
I enjoyed the first two series back in 2000 when it was cutting edge reality TV which actuatlly tried to be a social study of people interacting. If you look at the type of people in the house in the first two series they were actually quite a normal cross section of society. If you recall, the first few series actually had "experts" such as doctors, psycologists and the like commenting on people's reactions.
But after the first series the contestants know what to expect, and will play up to the cameras. Once the rabbit was out of the hat the producers had to introduce more and more odd-balls to the cameras at which point it lost any sense of social experiment and became a total non entity borefest. This is highighted by the fact that Jade went from being an ordinary contestant on Big Brother to being on Celebrity Big Brother a few years later.

Now I need to stop watching this thread after my pointless contribution so I don't have to be continually reminded of the inane waffle about this drivel.
My first thoughts as well.

The only one I recognise from the lineup is Gary Busey: I'll always remember him from his role in the Under Siege film. Absolutely no idea about the others, though, although one of them looks wayyyy too much like Donatella Versace (shudder).

You rotter - I opened the thread looking intrigued by what a Celebrity Bottom Bracket was - guessing i was a bling one like Hope or Royce.
I guess that does put me in the "the Beatles are popular beat muicians M'lud" category

Without having actually watched it, I reckon you mean Angelique Morgan. She and Busey were going out for a bit which is why they've probably been cast, in the vain hope of getting some viewers. Although unless you're a fan of Busey (as I am, in case you couldn't tell) I'm not sure why you'd know who either of them were.
Anyway, as if we didn't already know, Big Brother has become a deeply irresponsible programme - Busey has serious mental problems and really shouldn't be appearing.

I have never really warmed to the concept of such a show, it's hardly a social experiment is it? I think if they genuinely put 10-12 random people in a house it might be of interest. However, they clearly pick desperate wannabe's that are not likely to be very confrontational and are all desperate to get attention. I get more pleasure watching animals at a zoo, they are far more interesting and at least what you see if kind of natural (well not always).
