pans.. i meant pants

I wouldn't be surprised if the next lot of HMs for BB7 will already have a contract with someone to advertise something! It's a shame that a good concept has gone for the most part.

i never actually though of that before. she could have quite a sponsorship deal when she leaves!

i also remember once in BB when in a cutscence thingy they zoomed in to a green converse shoe. blatant advertising.

The idea that advertisers will want to hire any HM after they've left is a bit silly. In most cases noones every heard of them, who cares if someone from BB likes their product and it just ends up looking really tacky. Especially as that person has by then lost all the reasons they were actually known about.
The ad with Alex for Domestos just looked pathetic. Darren from BB1 did alright advertising Chicken Tonight on the road but thats a very limited appeal anyway as it was all new then.
These people are nothing special, the women have one thing to fall back on when they leave and thats getting their kit off for Zoo or Nuts. What do the blokes have?

I'm a bit of a sucker for advertising and I saw Cherry Tango in sainsbury's the other day and I was tempted to buy it, but I've given up on fizzy drinks. As I recall it does taste quite nice. I'm sure Makosi must have increased sales.

How is it silly to think advertisers will want to hire HMs where there is a precedent for it?

my son used to call that cherry up 7!

I think the thought is....*going into the trench code mode as Tickle would have put it*, you are going on a national show. As soon as you know you are to apply, put on the trench coat and meet the 'sponser' after hours. All cload and dagger ya know...hehehe.

I can see it now, we see Makosi ( pre BB) running down the street screaming, runs into a shop, buy a bottle of can of Cherry Tango & %&*&%! all of a sudden she gats a perfect afro back

Well a precident that shows how rubbish it is, add to that it was a few years ago so it's not new anymore.
But really can you think of any product you'd want to buy just because a housemate advertised it?

Now it worked for Celebrity BB very well as these were people you knew somehow anyway, but with this years lot they've got nothing to offer.

I know what you're talking about Summerwine but can't imagine theres anyone that desperate to bet on an unknown which, as has been pointed out could end up with your product being sullied by the behavior of the HM.
Much better off and safer in mnay ways to go directly to BB and give them free stuff, after all the sales of homeware go up after being on BB. Would happen to a greater degree if they didn't use such expensive stuff each year. If something like a duvet cover or chair is cheap you might buy it but in the hundreds of pounds?

You see the house and it's contents more than the behavior of any one housemate.

And it is working! I actually bought the damn stuff to see what the fuss is about - awful, sweetish rubbish!

Silly me!

You didn't!...LOL It's actually pretty good for a change and refreshing on a hot day, esp. when you put it in ice cube tray covered with cling film and poke a toothpick through the top!.....yum

Just out of interest, since Makosi declared she was "90 IF NOT 100% certain" that she was pregnant, has she drunk any alcohol?

I think if she was going to advertise something, she's target something more 'mainstream' (who drinks cherry tango on a regular basis). Something like a mobile phone company or such, which could get her lots of $$$'s as reward. For cherry tango, she's likely to get £20 quid, and a splash of water, like in the new tango adverts.

LOL!!!

One of the more annoying moments on BB was when Makosi took her precious Cherry Tango to the loft to drink alone, like it was the essence of the Lord himself. Oh the drama.

Yeah, she was slightly OTT about it. (when I say slightly, I mean very very very much so btw).

Yes, at Sciences victory party, she was downing white wine.

Nah, they've done that ad already. Can't remember the product (it was a year or 2 ago I think) but it had people sprouting afros, cars sprouting afros, people going 1970's soul, etc. Something like that. Think it may have even been for a drink. Anyone else remember ?

I remember the advert, but cant remember the product. Cant be worse than mullet-man for the ice-tea advert.

Makosi will have shifted a few bottles of cherry tango but she probably did it for free. Stastically the more time a product is mentioned the more it sells. People won't necessarily buy it because Makosi drinks it but then they won't necessarily not buy it because Makosi drinks it. When BB viewers see the bottles in the shop they will pause. That pause is more consideration than the other drinks got and sales will result.

Advertisers do pay more, much more than a TV advert, for indirect adverts in shows. But these shows are huge, and the people are icons. Ralph Lauren was rumoured (the actual sum was undisclosed) to have paid the highest ever amount for Rachel in Friends to work for them. A monster price was paid to Sex in the City by Tivo which became a major plot point with one character 'falling in love with it'. Sitcoms earn the highest amount for such advertising. Where the characters work, what they eat for breakfast and the products they buy are all up for the highest bid.

More devious practices include paying actors and actress to appear on talk shows to promote products. For instance, one woman went on a talk show and claimed her ex-best friend threw paint over her in an argument over a man. All her clothes were ruined "except my [brand name]" she says off-handedly. The host picks up on this and she causally explains her [brand name] product has a stain-resistant coating. The show moves on. Viewers however had just witness a 'true' account of how amazing this product really is.

Makosi probably took upon herself to promote Cherry Tango but she may have been previously approached. Large corperations will pay 'role models' to promote their products locally. Some kids from my old college were paid to stand outside a well-known Fried Chicken restaurant and eat chicken. This was too draw customers who would see them as 'role models' into the restaurant from the McDonalds over the road.

I hated the guy...but even I the conspiricy theory king didn;t hate him enough to suggest he was advertising just because he liked a soft drink product...

Oh dear, OK then

How about we see Makosi ( pre BB) running down the street screaming, runs into a shop, buy a bottle of can of Cherry Tango & %&*&%! all of a sudden she announces,"Makosi's happy, Makosi has got her cherry back "

Drinks the cherry tango, and has an orgasm right there, on the street. (probably for post 9pm watershed viewing).

Ever thought about taking up a career in advertising? LMAO
