they seem to be talking about having done yet another "pilot" with more "bang" (ie they have remixed it, and may have added people known just for the leg up in awareness... thats where gina could fit in).

however its been a long time since we followed jersey shore with the likes of made in chelsea and towie... with geordie shore...

and then there were the ones being made in mersey and wales... i havent seen/heard from them at all... so surrey? it would clash with made in chelsea, and 2 of the "same" ?? no. chelsea would have had to fade and be replaced for it to get airtime. anyway its too late now isnt it? that ship has sailed and begun to sink. adding a gina would hardly save it.

if i was a producer, given gina as a punishment and had to do something sticking with her "image" i would have copied the paris hilton show "simple life" and had her trying different jobs as (if) she had to do the jobs (some here think she should be doing) less wealthy do.

Taxes fiddled by everyone? No they’re not, some of us are honest and not greedy. There are quite a lot of people around whose lives aren’t ruled or defined by possessions, and especially not by names printed on possessions.


Nikki Graham – and several others like Amanda Holden, for instance – have already done programmes where they do other people’s jobs. I suppose it could be revisited.


You know what I haven’t seen on TV – a programme where young people run their lives and their money efficiently, enjoy learning and value knowledge, and dress sedately with reasonably priced clothes from the High Street. It’ll never happen, though, because it’s boring… and the aim of programmes seems to make the audiences’ jaws slacken. It could be accompanied by wide eyes at the overpriced goods that their own money couldn’t buy, or with recoil at the shocking behaviour and ignorance displayed by those on the screen. Is the simple message from adding these together “be fick and get tings”?

I'm wondering if OP is deliberately pot stirring here

I was never 100% convinced of Gina's lifestyle.

No pot stirring here. I was wanting to stack Gina and her family's wealth against the current BB contestants.

The fact is that none of us have been able to prove Gina's wealth or disprove it. Very frustrating actually - but interesting at the same time.

I would urge anyone who has information or has uncovered any info through detective work to post it here.

Gina Rio wealthy? Pah! Gimme a break - my Primark knickers look like they cost more than her weave.

She was on the electoral roll at a council flat in Islington.

There is plenty of circumstantial evidence out there. It's all on the old thread. Also, she's never backed up a lot of her boasts e.g.:

The Kings Cross mansion
The lavish party for housemates
The travel by private jet
The exotic foreign hols

I could go on...

The Dune shoes (as others have mentioned) in the original Daily Mail article, were an instant giveaway.

I think in the future, one of us DS members needs to go to the Daily Mail with a faux story, get it published, and then report back to us to show us how easy it is.

Any volunteers?

Yes, but she does have a big lifestyle for someone who doesn't have a job. She really does seem to be a lady of leisure, and she really did seem to be renting that huge several million pound house in Weybridge.

It's perplexing to me.

@iamGinaRio any update on when your tv show will air ?

-----------------------
Gina Rio ‏@iamGinaRio 2h

@Ashley_Albus Unfortunately, these things take time! Promise to keep everyone updated x
-------------------
Gina Rio ‏@iamGinaRio 2h

Big change next week!

------------------
Not sure what that is about.

you do.


You all seem very good at that, Never read so much Fantasy.


I hate to see anyone perplexed.

i saw dexter in the montage of bbots guests (final show clips) i didnt see them use gina, unless she was acting out the role of plasterboard wall in the background

It’s been done many times with many papers. Probably the most notable is Freddie Starr Ate My Hamster

I noticed that also. I had to rewind to check again that I had not missed her.

I think that she has still hoping that she will get an appearance in "Surrey Hills" if it is ever shown. Miss Parry who Gina tweeted asking what her plans were for the weekend is a friend of one of the advertised cast. Unfortunately for Gina she did not get any response.

Anyway we can look forward to the change that going to happen next week. Is she going to change the colour of her hair at last?

Why should she? She's a natural blonde y'know!

Miss Parry filmed a short segment and clearly hoped to be a member of the cast. Looks like she didn't make the final cut.

She SAYS she has a big lifestyle. There is a difference.

she really could do with tweeting or blogging more events and photos to back up the image.

instead she uses one event a month multiple times. anyone can do that and look "well off & busy"

Do you think that she is writing EckSell's blog? Looking at the spelling in some of his tweets I doubt if he writes his own blog. He keeps telling his followers to check out his updated blog, but nothing is added. Last event entered is HoopAid that happened in September. He must lead a very exciting life.

Yes, or they of the same mind. The school kid errors on both hers and his that should have been picked up on a simple read through just seem very unlikely if she had a wealthy background.

this thread is useless and needs to end, it's pretty obvious for anyone who's not a teen that gina is not rich nor are her family.

she's just a desperado appearing in obscure music vids and youtube vids if she really had money the pics on her twitter would be much more interesting. she'd wear better clothes and would be seen in better places.

she's not even been on holiday since bb

the girl is a joke

roland, next week there will be very few posts on the big brother forum and you will have gone off to do something else. dont worry about this thread. <100 posts and you have an opinion on a forum with millions of posts.

I think the same about all the threads on soccer but I do not feel the need to tell the many people posting on them because what they post does not affect me.

Not everyone is like you and can get enjoyment from only discussing what is or is not a racist comment and what is or is not offensive. I, for one, am tired of talking about that, and I would not be disappointed if those threads ended. However it is none of my business if someone else enjoys discussing it.

This is a right on topic thread discussing Gina Rio's wealth (from the 2013 Big Brother) in comparison to the current CBB cast.

Interesting news on Gina's TV show - it may have been delayed according to her Twitter. Answering a fan's question about when the show will air, Gina said: "Unfortunately, these things take time! Promise to keep everyone updated."

Oh not more delays and promises Like nearly everything else she has not delivered. A calendar and a bad excuse for an updated blog to date? When has Gina ever kept anyone updated about this promised show? For months now she has seldom and reluctantly given in and replied to the same old question with nothingness. Any news on her very long awaited holiday?

I would have thought that private conversations would be carried out by private messages,you have to be following each other to do that though.
The private messages do not appear in any time line.
It's the same on DS as you surely know.


Why are you bothering to post here then? surely there are plenty of other threads that would enjoy your company.
