They were all chosen to be outstandingly talented young people, so which ones have 'made it'?

Someone help fill in the gaps...

Amy Jackson After graduating with a first class degree in fine art, has been working as an artist. http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/4ns...+Jackson/83103

Anthony Ogogo Recently did well in the Commonwealth games. How well? Dunno.

Calista Robertson Believed teaching music; continues to write her own songs which can be found online.

Emilia Arata Trapeze work has been featured in various tv shows, though not afaik in the UK.

Jade Eden

Jay Wilson Was reported last year to be working for the Baby Phat fashion label.

Jeremy Metcalfe Final year uni student I think - ? Not racing at present - ?

John Loughton Various political activities, mainly unpaid. Stood as a liberal democrat in 2009 but lost his deposit.

Latoya Satnarine Apparently still dancing...http://www.breakinconvention.com/art...uth-uk?og=3113

Liam Young Impressive sounding cv here; http://uk.linkedin.com/in/liamlnyoung; let's hope it stands up better than the one he had during BBCH.

Nathan Fagan-Gayle Seems constantly on the verge of a big break-through, either here or in the US. Has been recording with rapper Flo Rider.

Victor Arata - no longer touring with Emilia - ??

It really depends on what you mean by 'made it'. Has BBCH made a difference?Some are more exposed as talented than they were and I would think that was the point not being on magazine covers.I think some like the Aratas could have done more with their exposure especially Emilia.

Jeremy has started his final year at Uni but is likely to race next season as he will have finished.The little I have seen of him in the summer holidays just gone suggests lots of training.Racing drivers have to train lots,Jeremy has been road cycling alot.The testing season is nigh so that is when we will know for sure.Meanwhile he supported his Mum in a skydive to raise money for charity not so long ago.The link is still open,anyone can donate.

Don't know either. She did have a boyfriend though, and it was years ago. Plenty of time. If she does have a baby, I wonder if she just washes one elbow very very thoroughly?

I think Nathan got the least out of it imo,he has had some music out since but it hasnt had the same impact it had as his earlier records before Hijack.It is really a missed opportunity and dont know what really went wrong but I think new kids on the block like Jeremy,Amy,Emilia and Victor just stole the show.

In total agreement.

With Nathan - I wonder if he ever noticed that the sound was always changed to birdsongs when there was singing by the housemates.

Well I just think he underestimated his oposition.Of all the hms,he was aready in showbiz as identified by the BB massive,the circus is out of that circle and imo that has contributed to the Aratas going back to where they were which is a shame because they are capable of much more but couldnt capitalise on it.Nathan was already there,all he had to do was be himself but he chose to gamble and play it safe.Jeremy brought something very new,not a lot was known about domestic motor sport in the population and people were surprised that a young racing driver could be that down to earth That is why when he then raced,there was interest in knowing how good he is.He didnt dissappoint. Lots will now depend on how he lauches back.He will now come back much more as a racing driver who is already known and has lots more opportunities to promote his racing. Amy was just that,a cleaning lady who looked like Heather Mills but more pleasant. Nathan having this aura of a young upcoming singer showed no originality on the show,there is nothing to remember about him,not even an argument.This show is not about being nice,it is about being memorable with a balance between good and bad,you cant be perfect otherwise you are fake and that is what Nathan tried to do.

nicely summed up!

my favourite was always John simply because of the agonised look on his face as he desperately tried to follow Matt Lucas' orders!

Oh yes .. !! "Free ride to the final" John ... utter waste of a space for everything past the opening 90 minutes of the show.
He also invented the duvet as an item of clothing that has been popularised this year by Josie
As you can tell he was not my idea of a good hm.

BUT...when you think about it, a fair old percentage of them got to the final because it was a small houseful and not many of them were evicted. John would have got to the final anyway I reckon. And no twist made him win. That was actual voters. It was the BB with the biggest discrepancy I reckon between forum and votes. On DSBB he hardly seemed to have a single supporter.

I wholeheartedly disagree ... If it wasn't for the Matt Lucas opening sketch with John playing the role of the poor sap,he would never have even been in the running for the show and I firmly believe he would have been an easy eviction choice.

Impossible to prove, but I'm not sure he would have been nominated. I can't remember him arguing with anyone really.

Of course it is pure conjecture .. but I am struggling to remember anything he did after the golden gift from Matt.
So I seriously doubt that he would have had many supporters and definitely wouldn't have been able actually muster enough votes to win the show.

There is no way John would have got to the final without a free pass,he would have been nominated and voted off.He almost compares to Steve BB11,hms whom the public want to vote off but are not available through nomination.

He only got votes from the anti Emilia brigade which was largerly not on DSBB to win, the people who watched the openning night of his task with Matt Lucas came back on the final and Jeremy misteriously went out earlier than predicated due to a split in the vote with Amy and Emilia.That combination is what caused the massive swing in his favour to stop Emilia winning.

Anthony Ogogo finished with a silver medal in the Common Wealth Games in Dehli.He was beaten in the final.That was his dream during Hijack,the Common Wealth Games.So you can say he didnt do badly and he got England a medal,great acheivement for BB.

Here is what he had to say.......he is going for gold next time and then into proffessional boxing.Definately still a bit uphimself as we saw.I saw,(was there) Jeremy give his winning speech on the podium at Donnington Park,very emotional as it was a very important win. He had a point to prove but was deffo not uphimself.
