Pros:
Cons:
So do you think CBB will lead to some career longevity for Amy in the same way I'm A Celebrity did for Peter, Katie and Myleene. Or was it a DISATROUS choice?
I suppose time will tell if Amy will be a Jodie or a Katie. And regardless of what you think of the latter EVERY zeleb aspires to have what she had (well what she had say, before 2009).
- 100K for 3 weeks on CBB = 50.00 a day on ToWIE
- CBB is predicted to get at least twice ToWIE's average viewers at a minimum
- She has shown loyalty to Desmond, and if she wants what Katie had at her peak she needs OK! and the Daily Star on her side
- She was barely in the second series of ToWIE and series three apparently introduces even more cast members
- She's probably the first on that show to established herself as "Amy Childs" rather than a ToWIE cast member
Cons:
- CBB on Channel 5 could very likely be vaguely remembered as a pop culture punch line like that going into space show on Channel 4 half a decade or so ago
- Most of the CBB8 celebrities are at the end of their careers/have never even had a career bar Jedward and arguably Kerry - guilty by association?
- She's alienated ITV and an ITV2 spin-off would have been perfect for her (but perhaps she wasn't allowed)
- As she was an ITV personality at one point I'm A Celebrity... would have loved to have had her on (I'm sure) - I'm A Celebrity... gets better viewers and hasn't destroyed careers/made hate figures of people like BB can and has

I think it was a good move and could open up something new for her, but if it doesn't she doesn't have anything to fall back on. It's a toughy.
Nuts...
Girls like her. Boys think she's fit. She's very pretty and very young. She's considered a bit of a pop culture phenomenon by Gen Y. There's no reason she couldn't have a clothing line, TV show, perfumes, more magazine covers, if her next few steps are the right ones.
She will be more successful in Nuts... or does she have a hidden talent? Plaiting fog perhaps?
But here one can see the real Amy, I thinks she's quite nice and has a great sense of humour. Maybe she could do a bit of modelling. But I do prefer watching her in this.
she stood out no better than Mark, Arg, Lauren, Joey Essex, Kirk, Mick, Lauren Pope, Nanny Pat etc etc.
And the streets of Brentwood are lined with dumb babes wanting her spot, she wont be missed with Maria Fowler, Chloe (Joeys cousin) who i think plays the dumb bird better than amy anyway and others waiting in the wings.
so it could turnn out to be a good move for her, Yes IAC would habe been a better move, But if Desmond pushes her as the next Jordan things could work well. All she has too do is not come across as a bitch and she will be ok going forward
I agree
Sounds like she could be the next Josie;)
People used to aspire to be doctors, lawyers, train drivers, astronauts, hairdressers...
Thanks to Katie Pwice, Kerry Katona, the "cast" of TOWIE et al, the idea of floating around with the 21st Century equivalent of dentures (ie. bright white veneers) and being papped, while doing absolutely nothing of any interest, is now a viable career option.
:eek:
She was already with Claire Powell, so it's inevitable that she will, sooner or later, end up with her own ( fly on the wall ) series.
She's just the latest one to be shoved down peoples throats.
It won't stop now, unfortunately.
Agree, absolutely agree.
Absolutely agree - It's the public who eat all of this up....People often blame the Z-listers, or the media, for this type of nonsense, but at the end of the day, it's the general public who decide to admire these morons.....A prime example was just taking a look at facebook a few weeks after TOWIE had started airing on ITV2 - All the 'omg I wanna live in essex' and 'I'm sooo gel' posts - It's like a bandwagon that everybody jumps on - sheep mentality. This culture will never die until the public stop lapping it up, whilst begging for more.
Amy Childs - Her 'career' depends on how she behaves for the rest of her stay...
I'm glad you added the qualifier, a 'little' respect, because surely it's not simply a dichotomy - you sit at home and moan or you become famous and relatively wealthy for being stupid. There are millions of people who aren't academically gifted who lead fulfilled and productive lives without sacrificing themselves at the altar of dumb.
Which would make her an even more unpleasant and cynical opportunist exploiting the gullibility of amoeba-brained viewers for personal advancement.
Unvarnished opinion? She's inarticulate, uneducated, ignorant, vain and, one suspects, ill-suited to doing anything worthwhile or constructive with her life. In that she shares much in common with far too many of this nations youth.
That such people are widely idolised by the public, some of whom must surely be sufficiently bright to know better, is embarrassing.
