why is she doing BB

She's out of work and wants some free personal exposure. Quite a sensible move..

I didn't have a clue who she was until BB said, so she isn't that famous.

I had to look her up but still didn't click as I thought pop idol was a children's TV show as I don't watch much TV.

For the journey. Although id never heard of her before either.

They all do it for the "journey". They do it cause they want to be celebs...oh the days of doing BB for winning the money. If I went in, i'd be gunning for the prize, I don't need no journey but sure could do with £200k.

She isn't famous so what she did she do a reality show years ago and a few West End shows, so has hundreds of other people (the actors/assemble) you wouldn't say everyone of them are famous just because there have appeared on stage. I think her ego has ran away with the girl.

Never heard of her and quite frankly after this show ends, hope I don't see her again. Pretentious diva wanabee.

She's doing it in the hope she will get a normal job and not have to resort to working at Tesco when she leaves the house. Afterall, she is far too good for that.

Why shouldn't she?

Is BB only for unsuccessful people?

Of course it is. BB is the last refuge of the totally desperate.

She's about to leave the UK for the glittering lights and open arms of the USA so she wanted to give the GBP full access to her humble elite self.

Very few Brits succeed in the USA - those that do have talent.

Someone needs to tell her that

Yup. There are loads of talent shows in the US and with the exception of a handful like Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson most fade back into obscurity. No need to import reality show rejects. As I've said before the only BB alum or even UK reality show participant that has really made it big in the US is Russell Brand. Also she's a bit long in the tooth to become a pop ingenue stateside.
