DID Katie get paid more than Heavy D ?

She claimed to "know" she did, but that must have been bravado

Actually, she seems so desperate to have another shot at 'fame' I bet she'd have gone in there for nowt

That said, do the celebs rate themselves according to how much BB paid them to be in there ? and if so, how does the ranking stand ?

Who got paid most, to least ... what's your guess ?

Colin got paid with a container full of junk. It had a flat screen tv in it so he was well chuffed.

I would guess that Katie got more than Heavy. From what I gather from the last few weeks, she is married, lives and works in America. Why would you come over here for a month for peanuts? My guess is the Americans get more than most of the Brits. I would also guess the biggest fee earners this season were Sam, James and Biggins.

Why would Katie come over here for a month for peanuts ? ... well, to 'raise her profile' again, to have another shot at the fame that keeps eluding her, that's why

I agree that Biggins and James would have been high in the pecking order, but not so much Sam ... she's been on the reality treadmill for years ( Celebrity Coach Trip is the only one she hasn't done )

I don't think they've paid any of them much this season

Why would she seek fame here when she has made a life for herself in the States? If she wants fame it would make far more sense to work towards fame in the US where she has a husband who is an established performer and a much bigger market to work in.

She's tried to 'make it' out there ... and flopped

That's why she's back again

Or are you seriously suggesting that Katie Waissel is not interested in fame ?

She's the most fame hungry in there. She came across as desperate on X Factor and that's partly why she was hated so much. Since then she has done nothing apart from find a rich husband.

Not at all. But now she is married to an American with a profile and has the right to work in the US and she lives there, it would make more sense to focus her effort there. I still think she out ranks Boom Boom in the Zleb rankings.

ETA - She has a Wikipedia entry. He has a Casting Call Pro page with very few credits.

Not currently. Boom is current and his career is on the up. Katie is known for being one of the most hated people in the history of the X Factor. It was about six years ago and she's done nothing since apart from a failed album which didn't chart.

So knowing she is hated in the UK and having gained a bit of a foothold in the biggest, most lucrative entertainment pool on the planet why would she set her sights on fame in the UK. It would make far more sense to focus on fame in the US now she has a foot on that ladder than to be courting fame in a country where she doesn't live and she has been rejected.

She's not hated now. Most people have probably forgotten her. It was a long time ago and she's barely been seen since.

She has no opportunity for fame in the US. She's a nonentity out there. Nobody has a clue who she is. She's having another crack over here where some people may remember her from the X Factor.

Most people have never heard of her, that's why they are falling for this little miss quiet act. Some of us (I imagine Heavy remembers her as well) remember her as an egotistical, diva with a mediocre talent who got through over better singers

But last night Heavy exposed the full of themselves Katie who thinks she's better than everyone else, more famous and gets more money than many people on there

Tellymix reckons that Heavy D got paid the least out of anyone, barely breaking the 5 figure mark.

They don't even speculate about what Katie's paid, but it does seem a given it will be more than Colin. I've heard of her and I don't watch the X-Factor.
