Why does celeb BB only get celebs that are past their best from other shows

Ignoring the reality crowd , when people say they want celebs it tends to be get celebs well past their best even in reality terms that have been on another reality show usually the jungle.

Looks like biggins, Samantha fox I honestly don't recall her being in the jungle.

The late David Gest , Janice Dickinson etc.

All these people seemed to have been at their best in other shows and bb seems to struggle to get celebs that choose cbb ahead of anything else.

I assume because they prioritise uk reality shows celebs and unknown Americans the budget struggles to get anyone else

Because real celebrities have way more respect for themselves and the careers they have built to appear on such trash TV which will damage their reputations they have worked on.

Reality TV stars have no respect for themselves and have no talent and just want money and media exposure so they have no problem making an ass out of themselves for it. They are cheap to cast for a reason.

Biggins was crowned the King of the jungle and he was a finalist in Celebrity Masterchef.

I think he'll do well in this as well.

Because they're on their last legs and desperately need the money.

they need to get some current celebs like Jennifer Lawrence and Benedict Cumberbatch, I am sure they could put their movie careers on hold for a few weeks while they sit bored shitless in a house getting paid peanuts?

The way housemates are treated these days is enough to have any celebrity worth their salt not touching it with a barge-pole

That's why it's largely 'cast' with tuppeny'appeny reality TV people now ... being treated like disposable garbage is just another day at the office for them

Probably because Celebrities well past their sell-by-date are cheaper.

I absolutely cannot stand Biggins. He's one of those where I'm unsure I can watch it with him on :/

I guess Biggins kicks a true fan of the show Celebrity, he will get mentioned nightly on BBOTS though.

I'm old enough to remember him as a actor though

I would like him to win.

But you can guess on opening night, he will end up talking to somebody name dropping

Because they're easy to get and they're desperate - winning combination as far as Endemol are concerned.

I think the key word there is 'desperate.' I hesitate to say it makes it funnier after last night, but unfortunately it does.

Only when she was dressed as a vampire, pissed, shouting obscenities at that guy who she was supposed to be mentoring.

Firstly the budget. They can only afford Z-listers.

Secondly it's because the show has quite low ratings nowadays, and (much like the celebrities it attracts) it's also past it's prime. Averaging viewing figures of 2 million a night.

People with real talent are too busy working. It's only those who have no work that GP on CBB

And yet CBB always has a more interesting and exciting show than all of those other ones so who cares?
