    I agree and Jade however,It took them years Brian has been in the wilderness for years Big Brother was in its heyday then, now it has lost a lot of popularity. So when you consider the lack of focus and opportunities from the papers , tv and mags Josie has done well to stay in the public eye.

    I didn't put Jade because from what I could remember most of her stuff was on the satelite channels? - if you are including the satelite channels, then you could also say Spencer from BB3 'cos he has been on one or other of them with a fishing programme.

    A case could also be made for Johnny Regan - he has been in adverts and I think a bit part in Corrie and has had other bit parts in programmes.

    Not sure what you mean about them taking years - Kate and Brian got their initial terrestial TV stuff very quickly - and anyway that was the question that was posed:
    'but what BB person has ever moved on to the main channels?'

    not how long did it take and how much had BB's popularity slid when they did it :D;)

    Good afternoon:cool:

    Wow there really is something about Josie!

    2 years on from BB and here we have another forum discussing her.

    Whether you like her / dislike her or just like to see what she is up to, here you all are discussing her.:cool:

    I read in many different corners of D/S but only post in one usually but would just like to ask you all why do you think Josie is still of so much interest to both the media and D/S forums.

    Just a little point from me Josie is on tv most weeks and has been since BB finished , she has had at least one mag. either doing a feature on her or her doing her column every week since BB, these are facts which make her popular in the media!
    You can and do say that the channel she is on and the mags she is in are not highbrow but what BB person has ever moved on to the main channels?

    Thankyou for reading i will return to read any responses.:cool:

    Meh, they were and still do talk about HMs from BB7 some 6 years after, BB3 people were still regularly getting talked about years after. Two or three years ain't much.

    I don't really get your point about TV, dozens of BB people have turned up on various things on the Main Channels?!?!

    Craig Phillips a notable name, missed so far.

    Jade got Sleb Driving School, soon after BB, Also Sleb Panto, Sleb Wife Swap, I'm sure the list is depressingly endless.

    Aggs I agreed with you other housemates made it on mainstream tv . Jade had articles in national mainstream papers. My point is that it was a lot easier then because Big Brother was at the height of its popularity.Not so easy in the final few years of Big Brother .Brian has not had much work in the last couple of years he has said this himself in interviews. If you couldn't make it big in yrs I 2 and 3 you never would. I can add bits on if I want there is no law against it. Let's face it very few of the posts on here keep to the point of the thread title most of it is people diving in with odd comments on why they dislike Josie not what she did next .

    This is a board that still discusses Nikki vs Aisleyne from six years ago and goes over the minutae of a single night eight years ago. I don't think Josie is special in that regard especialy since the new things to discuss is from her shovelling it out there. If she kept to her word and stopped pursuing the media career discussion on her would die down.
    I read in many different corners of D/S but only post in one usually but would just like to ask you all why do you think Josie is still of so much interest to both the media and D/S forums.

    This is something that annoys me about her fans. The idea they perpetuate that she must be special or better than other BB HMs because she has a very minor media career.

    You could argue that any HM that gets a media career earns it by going through a difficult process and coming out entertaining or endearing to viewers but that's a pure crap shoot, in the strictest sense they don't earn it in a credible way. Josie "earned" her media career by pure circumstance. Because she was the winner of the last Channel 4 BB and Desmond needed a public face for the brand to keep it going during its hiatus.

    If the BB12 and BB11 HMs swapped places it'd be Farron getting those mag interviews or there'd be a show called There's Something About Jayloo. Sadly now that interest has mostly faded Josie needs to give out deliberately provocative stories to keep what minor interest there is in her. She's certainly free to do so but you can't blame anyone for pointing out the dubiousness of it.

    pas said in their post that Josie was on the TV most weeks. Where is she on and what doing? I've seen her on BBOTS but nothing else I know of.

    Anyone know if she's doing any BB stuff this year?

    Thanks

    josie is never on tv these days and there is very little if no media interest in her or luke I' think desmond came to his senses when he saw she had zero presenting skills and her tv show turned out to be a flop apart from losing her slot on oktv the list goes on the idea of her being on tv most weeks is just an idea and a fallacy and one which the original poster would simply love us all to believe!

    Josie is still getting 'work' (using the term very loosely) because she has abandoned all dignity and will say anything or look like anything to get column inches/photo spreads. Who would want or envy or admire that kind of infamy?

    There are countless former hms who have established respectable media careers. Brian D, Kate Lawler, Alison Hammond, Craig Philips are the obvious examples, but there are lots more. For instance, Ray Shah hosts a mid-morning radio show on a very popular Dublin radio station. Anna Nolan specialises in documentaries on faith related issues for RTE - the main TV broadcaster in Ireland. There are many more - there have been threads on the subject.

    The only person in any way comparable to Josie is Jade. And maybe Billi Bhatti, in a way; he keeps his name up there by causing controversy and starting fights on Twitter. But Jade is closer to the mark. The big difference is that Jade was on mainstream media. Josie is not. She's a novelty act on really, really shoddy programmes on a very poor TV station. And she has a weekly column in an awful supermarket mag that makes for astonishing reading. It's her weight, her violence and her lack of sex; ad nauseum.

    I think she does a segment on a Five show once a week, I only know because it's been mentioned here, once or twice.

    You can say what you want - I'm just saying that the question that was asked was
    but what BB person has ever moved on to the main channels

    Like it had never hapened at all - there were no riders and no time limit.

    If you want to qualify that or add your own riders, that's completely up to you :cool:

    Haven't the Desmond mags dumped her? She is in NOW which is getting to the point of little circulation. How much longer some of these can continue? Answer not long. The only way they do survive is printing cr.p which costs nothing as long as it is about folks who aren't going to sue. It's just a sad sad world. Leveson enquiry I suspect will bring this market to a close as he is talking about bringing in quick route to take newspapers/mags for relatively minor inaccuracies to task.

    Josie made a show of herself on Celebrity Juice, if I remember correctly that was the last time she has appeared on a channel other then channel 5 (she might've been on Loose Women, but they've got Denise Welch and Natalie Cassidy, so...she fit's in perfectly) ... that shows the only interest for her comes from Desmond..

    Give it another few months and I bet she'll have her baps out someplace...again

    Yes it apparently seems so ; she claims to be an animal expert for her 5 minute or less segment on live at 5 once
    a week but oktv was once a week too now defunct and as for claiming to be an animal expert? the usual hogwash just continues to spew forth from her mouth ! she's now had to turn to the other cheap mags to give her airtime ; by the way
    she's probably tried to get deals with other tv channels but no takers its always channel 5 for a few minutes only so the claim about the big tv interest is of course just a facade!

    Exactly
    Nikki also had her own show and..
    Imogen was on some Docu about Orphans in Africa to name but another 2 to add to the above list
    So Josie is in no-way special to be an Ex-H/M that as then gone on to have some kind of Media Career There's probably one if not more from every series of BB that has gone on to be either on T.V or have a Column in some Mag or even both

    chantelle has a weekly column with new mag still appears on tv occassionally and is almost daily in the news and mags nearly every week; so josie really isn't that stand out as the thread starter would have us believe!

    It was Josie who made her fans choose between her and John. I mean a mature person would understand that it's possible to like and still support both of them.
    ferfer wrote: »
    That's untrue. And at her recent Meningitis event, there were several joint fans in attendance who she welcomed warmly.

    She did quite clearly say on the Muckers FB that if anyone still supported John then they should leave.

    BIB - To be honest, that doesn't mean much. Last year I went on a shopping trip with a friend. The next day Josie blocked her on Twitter. She hadn't done or said anything even vaguely negative in relation to Josie either during our day out or any time before. The only thing that could possibly have resulted in her being blocked was her association with me. Petty doesn't even cover it.

    But here's the crux of it. Not long after, said friend attended one of Josie's PAs (having already paid for it). Josie was absolutely oblivious that she was someone she had blocked on Twitter and spoke with her like everyone else in the room. We all know that Josie has more than one side. Saying she was nice to some people one night isn't indicative to her reaction and treatment of others in general terms.

    I watched that unfold she said they should leave because she was going to say stuff about John not that they should leave permenantly it was after the initial Bhatti follow, she then went on to say how hurt she was by it. Josie has no powers of admin she wasn't even a member at the time .

    BB success (if that is what you want to call it!) in Z-list Chav land are Jade/Chantelle/Nikki. They managed to establish themselves in this world & maintain it. Others did OK either in glamour stuff or briefly in Chav mags but they couldn't maintain it. Imogen - well we know how her profile reached such a high level! Others from earlier series did manage to get proper media work when the show had credibility & the calibre of contestants was perhaps higher.

    Yes it's very odd to be discussing an ex BB housemate on a BB forum. What was I thinking? :eek:

    I vote we talk about the mechanics of Igneous rock formation and what influence, if any, the thermodynamics of the mantle have on said formation.

    Any takers??

    BIB - In this instance it's called marketing. Josie has nothing as such to promote so between jobs it's in her agent's interest to have her feature in magazines for a variety of non-reasons just to keep her name in the public eye. This is to generate an idea of popularity above it's genuine level in order to gain work.

    It's the money cycle. Client pays agent, agent gets work for client, client pays agent a cut of their earnings, agent gets client more work...and so on. Apart from Celebrity Wedding Planner, how many of her appearances in magazines this year so far has been about promoting her own work?
