The last of the 'celeb' reality 'stars'?

If I remember correctly all the previous BB's were hyped on other shows too. The Big Breakfast, RI:SE ( ), This Morning, I'm sure that they all featured polls and phone-ins and the evictees. I am almost positive that PMTV or Lorraine Kelly got in on the act too. This year there is none of that. The previous 5 minutes of fame is now down to about 2 and a bit. I can't see any of these HM's making a profession as a 'celeb' and they WILL have to go back into the real world. We can all remember old HM's who have made it with some presenting talent but will remember
these lot in years to come?

Just for the record -
I'm not rascist
I'm not jealous of Orlaiths tits and I don't want a Heat front cover

well?

Last year, they turned up on MTV's TRL as well.

RI:SE did a lot more about Big Brother than The Big Breakfast did.

well isn't that the original point of the show?
in BB1 it was some normal people competing, and the hype mainly came from the newness of the show's format

if it can be a show where the only reward the contestants get is the 100K, and they remain relative nobodies, then it has gone back to being more of a gameshow, than being overhyped

theres always at least 1 hm that retains connections in the media in every series.
from bb1 we have nasty nick and of course craig on tv
from bb2 we have brian
from bb3 we have jade and kate
from bb4 we have cameron ( writes for sunday post )
from bb5 we have nadia,and michelle n stu are still hitting headlines
from bb6 im convinced a few will stay in media for at least a year,science is determined to make a media move when he gets out..derek is the most obvious one,but i think we may well hear more from makosi and possibly eugene.

Anna Nolan (still the only person who has ever got me to pick up the phone and vote) has carved a career for herself in television...

"Anna Nolan, who first came to our attention as the Big Brother runner-up, has enjoyed very successful television times since. Her eponymous series 'Ask Anna' and her work on the last two series of ''Would You Believe' harnessed her natural empathy and ease on camera - proving a winning combination with audiences. She has just recorded a new series 'Anna In Wonderland' for BBC3 and has also co-presented two series of 'Closure' with Davina McCall for the same channel. She will also present a new 3-part series 'Drawing The Line' for RTÉ this Autumn."

I heard that sam and saskia are presenting porn channels.
I think the only safe career that you can do and go into the big bro house is modling, it can only enhance it.
with everything else your basically kissing it goodbye by going in

BB celebrities are getting less credible as each year passes.

I think there's too many of them around now. As far as the media's concerned the novelty's wearing off.

No one's mentioned Jon Tickle yet. Didn't he do some programme on Sky called Braniac? I saw it once, don't know if it's still going though.

Lumpbottom: I used to love Graham Norton - straight after BB, saying what most of us were thinking - but in a far more humourous way.
