Besides Perez and K Hopkins, what else was there about CBB 15?

KH and Perez are the most talked about from CBB 15.

Much and all as I got fed up to the teeth of BB many moons ago because of how it became so BB manipulated, I was drawn to this one because of my fascination by the two mentioned.

And it has opened up discussions far beyond just a discussion about BB.

Because Katies Price introduced comments about her Son, it has included Katies Hopkins bring up issues about our Welfare system and taxes. Because Alex seemed to be having a kind of breakdown so to speak, it has included discussions about drugs. Because of comments about bullying, bullying has also been discussed. Because of comments about gays, the rights and wrongs of how supporting gays has come up. Because of comments about boob jobs and plastice surgery, that too has been discussed. Because of comments about ADHD discussions about ADHD has come up. Because of comments about entertainment value, controversy and attention seeking, there have been numerous discussions about that.

And no doubt loads more issues that can be applied to this CBB.

What more could be asked for in a TV show?

But, this is BB the reality show and extends to a celebrity version which is an opportunity to see how the other side of celebrity behave when not on their celeb air brushed so to speak ventures, yet, they have managed to bring up all the basic issues of society in general to the extent that there has been some cracking discussions about life in general that are not usually discussed in a BB forum.

So my question is, much as I have no time for celeb culture, is it a fact that perhaps without the full intentions of said celebs, do they in the long run highlight the issues, but, because they have a big or small platform, they do in fact have a role that highlights problems in our society that may go unheard and therefore give us a voice in a round about way?

For me, I'd have to say no. Yes, we're all still talking about CBB, but I reckon it's because there's SFA else on TV to bother talking about. In fact, I can't quite remember the last time I put the TV on!

If, as you say, they use their time in the house to highlight current issues, I'd have to say they failed dismally. Michelle is roundly ridiculed = fail. Haircut, trying to make himself relevent = fail. Ghastly woman who screeched (can't remember her name), trying to highlight the beauty of tattoos = epic fail.

The only one to raise his profile was Perez, and that was for purely personal reasons.

I'd say Hopkins and Perez raised their profile the most.

The others probably all had a minor bump, but little more.
