Its all history anyway and Nikki's return is all part of BB7 and didn't do her any harm as she is known as a BB legend the world over. Maybe she will return one more time.

Isn't "FAKERS" an acronym? I'm pretty sure it stood for something ... and it's in all-caps.


The use of a name like "FAKERS" is actually a pretty good sign of certain things about a group, for instance that they will tend, at times, to act as a group.


Broxi had the theory that "it works both ways depending on who you supported" and seemed to be assuming that someone who thought the FAKERS ruined the C4 forum must be a Nikki fan ('cause, like, only Nikki fans could possibly have any problem with the behaviour of Aisleyne or of the FAKERS).

But also, the Nikki fans didn't act in a forum-ruining way. It's not a mater of "perception"; it's a matter of how people actually behaved. The only part of Broxi's theory that's right is that the FAKERS weren't ruining it for themselves; they enjoyed what they were doing.

And no, I shouldn't have added "for me", because that isn't what I meant.

My view is, and has long been, that Nikki's return solved the "Prince(ss) over the water" problem, and was bound to, in one way or another. Which may even by why it appealed to the producers.

I really enjoyed BB17 and the Celeb series back in January, yet didn't enjoy The Bear Show. 2 out of 3 is enough to ensure I watch next year at the very least.

It's hard to believe now that CBB used to have real celebrities in CBB. Looking at this list, we are now watching a completely different programme...

If only Z listers, and especially reality "stars", walk out then no, I will call it a day. I've watched every series of BB & CBB from day one but it's not worth my time anymore.

As for regular BB, if no contestant can string an intelligent sentence together or there is not a proper mix of age range, then the same goes. I remember one contestant from years back that got her degree results in the house - a First. Can't we have a BB that is something between the two extremes???

Methinks the odds are you may be disappointed - one of the new Executive Producers was the boss of TOWIE.

That said, I'm a bit surprised by Rebecca Kenny-Smith. With those credentials how could she let the level drop so low in both 2016 series??

Shell, Art History, University of Glasgow, bb5.

I liked "Celebrity Hijack" BB, which filled in for CBB after the Jade/Shilpa one went so badly wrong. I think the idea of having non-celeb HMs who have some definite talent or accomplishment is a good one. (I don't care about a mix of ages; if anything, I'd rather not have older HMs. But I'd be happy if they really were interesting.)

In that series, the "celebs" provided tasks, some very good, others not.

The problem with looking for proper celebs as housemates is: why would they do it? If they know what CBB's been like recently, it would be at the bottom of their list if they could possibly get on to some other show. (That's why the most like proper celebs these days are Americans who are going from one "reality" show to another: they don't really know what CBB is like.)
