Why Doesn't Big Brother Pick Real Reality Tv Stars To Enter?

I don't seem to understand why they don't ask people from The Real Housewives or Bad Girls Club. Like Frenchy was on a crap reality show in the USA. I'm sure they wouldn't say no to some promotion in the UK as they are not as well known.

If they can offer White Dee £100,000 and David £200,000 and most of the real housewives are offered between £150,000 and £250,000 I just don't get it?

    So you're saying you would prefer a £100,000 go to a nobody who everyone will end up moaning about "who are they? Big Brother always enters nobodys" than someone people generally know about.

    I have never heard of, or watched, either of these two shows.

    TOWIE and Geordie Shore are well known - even I watch them a bit and I am not in the correct demographic? I also saw an episode or two of Dee in Benefits St.

    I think your not getting my point, I'm saying keep them in, but someone like Frenchy isn't known AT ALL. Rock of Love isn't even aired here. The Real Housewives is aired on ITV2 and is on now. Why pick someone like Frenchy over Nene Leaks?

    It was shown over here as were several of it's spin-offs, on MTV or VH1 I think

    Oh sorry, I thought you meant UK reality stars that are there. I have no idea who Frenchie is either.

    So true, this is when I don't understand why they paid him that much and he's basically famous for dating Kelly Brook who isn't even that famous now.

    Oh no. Don't apologise :) like I'm not promoting Reality TV Stars. But When they get someone unknown who was on A American Reality Show a YEAR AGO is just a waste of housemate. It's like Zoe she was on Pop Idol Ten Years ago and is probably more known than Frenchy.

    Basically yes. But it would be nice to see a series without a Towie star and someone from a different reality show take that towie place.

    These shows you mentioned are not big in the uk though.

    In general American reality television is not big in the uk

    The bad girls club tend to get violent.. so i doubt we would get anyone from there... I do agree though.. There are alot of great reality tv people but they settle for ex towie Lauren.

    I agree. But the thing is, TOWIE is a popular show, so if BB can get someone from it they will. It'll get a lot of the fans of the show to be at least vaguely interested in each series.

    Also, it seems obvious to me that Big Brother are desperately trying to attract the demographic that watches TOWIE, Made in Chelsea, etc, so they'd probably do anything to get people from those programs into the house.

    I actually watched rock of love in the UK, Just couldn't not watch it, was so awful!

    I really doubt they got paid this much money, more like £2,000 for david!!

    Does anyone know where the information concerning £100K fee for Dee comes from? It seems to have been bandied about without question since before the series started. Does it have provenance?

    The last time CBB fees were published in the press was back in the C4 days and then the fees were more in the 10K to 30K bracket with one or two significantly higher paid to the 'bigger' names.

    Good point but I wonder why they haven't had anyone on from The Valleys which is another programme of that type

    I'd love for Richard Hatch or Johnny Fairplay to be cast.

    Well, they got Mike 'The Situation' from the Jersey Shore, probably at one point the biggest reality TV show? Mike was ahead of his time. The peasants didn't even know who he was. Had the nerve to think Jersey Shore was a rip off of their Geordie Shore.

    The Hills was pretty big too. But during it's prime.

    I didn't know who he was and I can't even remember what he looked like now. Why would you call people who don't watch those shows peasants? :confused:I would have thought reality tv shows are perfect for the masses (ie peasants)

    I was referring to the house mates. What are you on about. Someone asked him something about Geordie Shore on the first night while introducing himself.

    The Real Housewives cast probably get paid more per episode than what BB could offer them. Plus they're not exactly well known over here either, unless you actually watch the show.
