Then they probably aren't?

Just channel hopping and stumbled across celeb big brother. I recognise some of them the old ones I'm too ancient to be in-touch but most I'm Confused.

They keep explaining who everyone is like some Italian prince, does Italy have a royal family, he sounds suspiciously American? Hmm

Oh and Samantha Brick, does that mean we made her famous?!! shame shame

YANBU.

They're usually desperate z-listers on that kind of show.

Really famous people, like Madonna or Kylie or David Beckham, all have much better things to do with their time.

I'm not having you say anything like they are z listers Angry

I mean they have got The SITUATION in there!

My autocorrect just tried to change GTL to HTML lol Grin

If you'd listened to the explanation, you'd know Prince-Wotsit went to Connecticut when he was 5!

Loving Julian Clarey though.

Fell asleep at that point Samantha Brick went in......

BulldogDrummond · 16/08/2012 06:38

Who's in it then?

JumpingThroughHoops · 16/08/2012 06:48

Bet Lynce
heather from East Enders
Smanatha Brick
Prince Thingy
Julian Clarey
gary Kemp, or it could be another Kemp brother, but he's from Spandau ballet
Some bloke from Jersey Shore
Some ex Popstar from So Solid Crew
Several Page 3 models, ours or American
and one of our Judo atheletes from the Olympics
And bloody Colleen Nolan

BulldogDrummond · 16/08/2012 06:50

Well, I only know Julian Clary and Coleen Nolan. I suppose I could add the Judo athlete but don't know the name yet. I've heard of Spoandau Ballet but don't know the individuals.

Do the Page 3 models wear tops?

JumpingThroughHoops · 16/08/2012 06:56

They are at the moment!

Bet Lynch = corrie = Julie Goodyear.

Softlysoftly · 16/08/2012 09:11

One of them describes herself as a model slash (yes she says slash) actress / bad girl.

When did bad girl become a career choice and can I apply?

I feel sorry for Heather from Eastenders. She was practically begging for celebrity BB or IACGMOOH when she got killed off EE. I remember her interview on This Morning, where she was singing with her guitar. Desperate attempts at trying to find another job. It made me cringe with embarrassment.

drtachyon · 16/08/2012 13:03

The Situation, Kayano?

I know they've got the situation where there's a lot of not very famous people in there, is that what you meant?

Kayano · 16/08/2012 13:07

Haha. I'm just a reality tv junkie Blush

No one knows this in real life though. I'm all respectable tv only at work lol. Oh did you see dispatches etc etc Wink

limitedperiodonly · 16/08/2012 13:19

Julian Clary? I'm going to watch it now.

Julie Goodyear is compelling viewing too in awful way.

Which Kemp brother is it? The thick one with the orange face, dyed hair and yellow teeth or the clever one who seems downright nasty?

Years ago when I was young the chief sub used to sneer that if you had describe anyone as 'well-known' they weren't.

ScarletLadyOfTheNight01 · 16/08/2012 13:36

It's the Kemp brother who was in Eastenders...Martin I think.

I wanted Dog to be in there...but then I found out he was a murderer and wasn't sure how to feel about him any more. They should have got his wife instead. Now SHE would have been entertaining.

If they're trying to recreate the success of earlier this year they won't be able to...No Michael Madsen for a start! Can't STAND Julian Clarey.

poopnscoop · 16/08/2012 13:40

Julian Clary is the crudest man out there. The continual innuendos are so boring. I hope he shows he is more than a mere sphincter on CBB.

It's Martin Kemp.. the bloke who was in the band in the 80s and on Eastenders.

They obviously have NO life as where on earth do they find the time to take so much time off from their real life to be on the box in some reality TV show...? I barely find the time to shave my legs never mind shutting up shop for a week/month or two.

limitedperiodonly · 16/08/2012 13:43

Oh, the one who thought whispering his lines was the same as acting scary.

I love Julian Clary but the point of BB is to have people you can't stand in it so that's good too.

I hate the idiots who vote the abrasive nutters out first and then complain that it's got dull.

Who's Dog?

limitedperiodonly · 16/08/2012 13:46

I'm really sorry I missed the one with Vanessa Feltz though I have now seen clips of her dementedly scrawling on the table while everyone else looked scared.

ScarletLadyOfTheNight01 · 16/08/2012 13:47

Dog The Bounty Hunter... Trash TV at it's finest...I know it's terrible but I think he would have been hilarious stuck in that situation. Julian probably will be entertaining I just find his jokes boring as hell. Nothing to do with him being gay...I'd think the same if it was a straight man making constant innuendo. I get that he broke some boundaries years ago...but I just don't find him funny.

EddieGrundy · 16/08/2012 13:55

The word 'celebrity' is banded around rather lightly these days, isn't it?
