To be invested in Chris and Jojo from Celeb Big Brother?

They were both interviewed on This Morning, this morning (honestly no pun intended) - I think Jojo showed incredible emotional maturity throughout these whole 3 weeks.

They look great together - whether it’s friends or as a couple - Jojo’s going back to the US today - but it’ll be interesting to see how things develop

This year’s Celeb BB has been the best one since 2010 (imo)

Personally I think he was using her and they probably won't have much contact after she goes back to the US.

You could be right - I know she’s got loads of followers on social media - it did occasionally cross my mind

I stopped watching CBB after Mickey went so only seen the headlines to bring me up to speed, but it does seem to be very one sided. Older man, younger (more impressionable) girl. Que ça change.

I don't think Chris was in to her. I think he viewed it as a friendship but she looks like she fell for him.

I am shamelessly over invested in this. And I really have no idea why. It isn’t like me at all. I didn’t even know who she was before big brother. I feel a bit sorry for her ex. Seeing someone you love all over someone in a flirty way on reality Tv isn’t nice for anyone, no matter how much they say it’s platonic. The comments on Jojos latest Instagram post are very interesting!

I'm very interested too OP and may look up the This Morning interview from this morning! I agree with PPs who say she seemed more into him whereas he probably saw her as a friend but I'd love to know. I felt bad for the gf but also was really glad she shared and let us know!

I astonished myself by watching the whole series. I think because apart from Angellica, Trish, and the soap stars (and the Hollywood one) I had no idea who any of them were. And they all (almost all) had more or less normal faces and didn’t seem at all celebrity. So it seemed more like a civilian BB.

I’m glad neither of that pair won - they both struck me as so deeply insincere and ready to manipulate viewers. They both seemed to exist purely on the surface of their skin and it was impossible to believe either of them had any interior life at all. Which made the protestations of sadness, and the sudden and convenient (on national TV!) questioning of gender all the more artificial.

I’d say I was invested in viewers not being taken in by them …

Yeah it struck me that Chris seemed to have a very down to earth demeanour - you could imagine him as the amiable bloke working in your local supermarket at the deli counter who gives you some extra cuts - but Jojo in contrast is very ‘showbizzy’ because let’s face it - that’s her brand and what her whole persona is built on - in some ways an unlikely match perhaps

Me too, OP!!! Not like me but I've become weirdly invested 😂

Get on TikTok, there's a whole community over there feeding my Chris and JoJo fascination!

I don't even watch Big Brother but have seen the clips of them in the house and I'm interested to see what happens!

beasmithwentworth · 28/04/2025 19:24

I really enjoyed this series weirdly! And yes. I am ambivalent about him but am invested in following them to see what happens. I think she showed an incredible amount of resilience and maturity throughout the weeks. Some of the more mature housemates could have learnt a thing or 2 from her!

JoJo has been a reality star since she was on Dance Mom's as a child . She was always an upbeat feisty girl. But I still hold it against her that it was she who started and profited from those hideous bows seen everywhere a few years ago

I thought this cbb was one of the more boring ones!

And I thought he came across as an utter creep.
