Not in a million years. I would hate that type of public scrutiny and also the ex boyfriends/ ex friends crawling out of the woodwork with those 'she's a total b*****d' stories!
Out of interest, do all of the housemates get paid for going on or is it just the winner? If they all get paid, how much?
No. Nobody watches it and I have no desire to be on the front page of the Daily Star. In the old days, when it was popular and in the news I would've done it but its pretty much on its last legs now.
No, I can´t think of anything I´d gain from doing it or anyone else would gain from watching me. Maybe I could make some new friends with the other contestants but I don´t have time to see all of my existing friends as it is!

They get an allowance. It used to be £35 a day, but it might be more now. Not a lot, anyway.
If I had been young and attractive I would have liked to do a very early BB series. The editing was fairer, the process was both fairer and kinder, and the press was overwhelmingly positive. I think people are mad to do it now. BB can just select you as a villain, as they did Linda Nolan in the last series, and there is literally nothing you can do about it. And in the main BB, the viewers can be appallingly mysogynistic.
And the 'fame', that appears to be the only motivation, is slight and even negative. I know at least one housemate who actually had tv work taken away when they found out he had been on BB.
I'm likely to regret it bitterly, but I would do it for the sake of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I will have to watch Big Brother to see how it works these days, though. I haven't seen any since BB5.

I really doubt that you would like it. They pre-select housemates to play roles, then contrive situations to demonstrate those roles. And almost none of the game is played straight - you can be evicted just for being quiet and pleasant, and not getting any nominations.
I don't understand how the contestants all manage to get that much time off work. My manager would never let me take 5 weeks off just to go on TV.
I think a lot of them see BB as a stepping stone to fame, so maybe quit their jobs. Others in this series are allegedly involved in soft porn, a topless model, a regular reality show contestant so this is seen as a boost to their existing jobs.

I have no desire for fame in any way, shape or form even fleeting z list fame.
Haven't bothered since it's been on Five.
I agree. Even having my own personal Facebook account would make me feel exposed
Also tv, my ipad, pain killers etc

friggin CCTV camera's up all over the place
when relationships go wrong... sex tapes will suddenly get uploaded to the internet, as the 'ex' tries to get revenge.
You have to wonder, how come so many people film themselves having sex in the first place

Not under any circumstances whatever - period.

Once they started pushing more and more 'characters', absolutely not.
