Just wondering a lot of this years housemates think they have careers to go back to.

Danielle thinking she will get a magazine shoot with kimberly

Luisa went from the apprentice to cbb in six months and is a very big name now and never out the papers

You don't even need her second name

I get the impression a lot of the housemates think Luisa style success is possible for them.

Toya clearly thinks this

She writes for daily star and appears on bots, what a success

If anyone surely it would be Rylan

he was funny on X factor but without CBB he would have faded into nothing instantly

Don't forget the new ITV2 show where she runs a bar with Blue!

I don't think Toya has been quite horrible enough to reach the heady heights that "rent a bitch" has

The difference with Luisa is that she was already extremely popular following The Apprentice, if it wasn't for that then she wouldn't have even been on CBB and she was getting a lot of attention from the lad's mags.

Rylan would've faded into nothing after the X Factor but it wasn't being a CBB contestant that got him anywhere, it was his presenting role on BOTS.

I suppose Luisa and rylan are not the best examples as they had one reality show each previously and everyone knew who they were.

He started this morning before bb

I don't know but do think the point you make is a possibility..I am not saying it is the case with Toya, But it might explain her OTT act on her interview & on BOTS!

Rylan and Luisa were both from previous reality shows before bb, and they both appeared in the CBB not the normal one

When was the last.....kind of half, semi (if that) successful bb housemate from the normal one?

Their chances are slim to none

Oh woops. Never mind me then

Exactly.. The last housemate to have any lingering media attention was probably Josie some four years(!) ago, and even that was pretty limited compared to some of the housemates from yesteryear.
