What will the housemates do after BB3?

Most people have gone into the BB house with the hope of finding fame and this leading onto better things but will anybody actually achieve this?

Lee has done an excellent PR job since his 'release' and it looks like hes joining the dreamboys,

Alison has bags of personality (like it or hate it) and I woudnt be suprised if we saw more of her,

Adele is obviously very intelligent and seams to have alot of public support so at the very least I could see her dj-career take off,

Alex again has huge public support but I cant see any market for him,

Jonny will probably get a job in the music industry somewhere,

PJ-Every other reality TV show on the planet

Spencer, Kate, Sophie - Nothing, will fade away and be forgotten

And then there Jade.
I have a horrible feeling she will be slated to death by the press and not be able to take it. I can see BB3 ruining her life at least short term although I hope I'm wrong.

Anyway, what do you think?

Most former BIg Brother contestants have disappeared into obscurity after their 10 minutes of fame.

Good luck to Lee who cames across as being quite genuine even if his brand of flirting did not appeal to everyone.

Alison does have lots of personality and could thrive.

Alex may find his public exposure and relative popularity gives his modelling career a boost.

Adele seems the most level-headed contestant and should get a boost to her DJ career.

I don't know about Jonny. Why the music business? Just can't take to his personality and he does seem to have gone into his shell after Alison's eviction and his nomination.

PJ, sadly for him, will only be well-known for being an arrogant tw*t .

Tim and Sophie will disappear overnight - nothing against them, but they're just too ordinary.

Don't know about Kate - she is quite personable if annoying.

Agree that Jade will need to be carefully looked after when she comes out of the house. I think she accepts that she's dumb already which is a start, but coping with everyone else knowing it could be difficult.

Spencer, as the winner, could be cultivated into something more presentable than at present and (if he wants) do something more interesting with his life. Don't like him, but let's look on the positive side!

I think Alison should present SMTV with Brian. She would be a fantastic role model for kids. She's big but loveable, which would show them that you dont have to be thin and amazingly pretty to be great. Kids these days are getting soooo obsessed over their looks. Even 8 year olds!

Alex - modelling a little, will make a bit of money and settle somewhere in the country with a big house, wife, two kids and a dog. then he'll leave it all to go travelling. in other words, he'll be famous for a few months and then will be forgotten-ish

Spencer - Will play up to the media for a few weeks, hang out in celeb bars, be seen with a couple of C listers (soap stars/ page 3 models/girl band members etc) then will get fed up of it and will end up the noel gallagher of the reality tv has-beens world

Kate - will model a little bit, maybe join a girl group, make a fitness video, go to a few low-key premiers/parties

Jade- Will be mortified and distraught when finding out what everyone said about her (I feel really sorry for her). Will have the press taunting her for a few months. She'll probably have to leave the country.

Sophie - Will try to get some media attention, will give interviews although no one will read them. she will have a few stints on cheesy talk shows and then will disappear

PJ - I agree, he'll do another reality tv show or 5. he'll be forgotton quickly

Adele - Make a fitness video. Will DJ a bit and do a few different publicity jobs before being forgotton. She'll be in the press a lot with her girlfriend though I reckon.

Johnny - He'll play up to the media for about a week. then he'll get fed up with it and voluntarily disappear into a semi-normal life again as a fireman

Tim - Dont know yet. Will probably try and get into aristocracy parties all over England, and will fail. Will write a book, do lots of interviews and will model for a few specialist magazines. will end up working in a posh shop in london

Lee - Join the dream boys. Carmen will make him tatoo her name on his bum or something and will then dump him. He'll do some interviews, make a bit of money and will be seen in strip joints all round london

Lynne - Nothing. She'll be the same as before, but will just get booed when she walks down the street

Sunita - Who?

The only two I can see achieving any great success from BB3 is Alison, because of her personality (a winner in daytime shows / kids TV) and Lee if he joins the Dreamboys. I can see all too well the others sinking into obscurity, having their 3 months of 'fame' and going back to their day jobs.

The one possible exception might be Alex, because I think people are attracted to 'watching' him beacuse of his personality, and the way he conducts himself. We will see...

Pretty obvious:-
Alex:- Tim will take him on with his talent agency as a model
Adel:- Tim will take her on with his talent agancy as a DJ
Jade:- Tim will take her on with his talent agancy as a pig lookalike
Jonny:- Tim will take him on with his talent agancy as a stripping fireman
PJ:- Tim will take him on with his talent agency as his lawyer
Sophie:- Tim will take her on as the main recruitment agent of his talent agency
Kate:- Tim will take her on with his talent agency as a cleaner (well she does a lot of cleaning after all!)
Spencer :- Tim will take him on with his talent agency as the ultimate test for products such as fungle foot products, and air freshner.
Tim:- Tim will lose a lot of money with his talent agency

love it! spot on i'd say.

the others? i can see alex's modelling career taking a swerve towards household hygiene products (marigolds anyone?). kate taking up lap dancing; spencer going to prison; jade - someting to do with donna kebabs, possibly being one; the rest of them are pretty vacuous, so perhaps they'll end up as paper weights or door stops... except for sandy who should replace that strangled chicken on the weakest link!

changing the tone a bit....

i actually think that jade will have a better life having done big brother than she would have if she'd just continued as a dog-owning dental assistant with a dad (?) in prison.

she annoys the tits off me, and i'd have not shown the restraint that all the HM's have if i was in the house with her. however i feel sorry for jade.

i agree with others who say she'll be mauled by the public and be a total mess when evicted. however BB have psychologists and they help BB'ers through it all. i can't imagine her otherwise having access to a counsellor as a dental assistant from a dysfunctional family.

i also think that she is thick enough for what most of what she will experience to not sink in. *that* will be her salvation.

Ok, having established what happens to Sandy, here are a couple more visions from the future...

Adele:
Shortly after leaving BB, Adele is recruited by Mi5, and spends a productive career as one of their top double agents. Although details are never released in full, she is rumoured to have brought about the downfall of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. Sources close to military intelligence assert that she did this by the simple expedient of "confidentially" telling each of Hussein's high ranking generals that their commander had been saying that "they had a fat arse, and don't know when to shut up".

[b]Alex:{/B]
Alex takes losing Big Brother harder than anyone could have imagined. Seeing the reason for his defeat as his extreme fastidiousness, he turns over a new leaf, devoting the rest of his life to becoming "Britain's Mr Filthy". Riding the tide of fashion following Spencer's victory, the model finds himself suddenly in demand, advertising the latest in grime chic. His career is tragically cut short when a photoshoot in a septic tank goes horribly wrong.

Jade:
After being evicted from the house, Jade reveals that she is actually an academic from a prestigious Oxford college, researching mass media phenomenology. Her thesis, published in three 800 page volumes becomes the bestselling work of popular science of all time. In her press conference on the 10th anniversary of her work's first publication, the shy, retiring academic, writer and raconteur expresses surprise that anyone was fooled by the persona she adopted whilst appearing on Big Brother, saying "Well, noone is really that stupid, innit?"

PJ:
Despite leaving the house to boos and catcalls from thousands of female fans of BB, PJ remains certain of his powerful attraction to women. His debut single, a duet with Barry White, reaches 254th in the charts, causing the would be crooner to accuse every artist placed higher of cheating. After a week of sulking, PJ admits that selling more records than him is probably a good enough reason for them to be placed higher, although he warns "It could cause problems for ya, that's all I'm saying."

A disastrous stint as the voice of South Park's "Chef" is quickly followed by a descent into obscurity, seeing PJ becoming that bloke in the pub that's always moaning about how the women that won't go out with him are lesbians.

Spencer:
After winning BB (boo!) the UN recruits Spencer as an ambassador for it's water conservation programmes. A short tenure comes to an abrupt end, allegedly following lewd remarks made to female members of the Kenyan delegation, and the assertion that the Norwegian delegates "wear perfume like girls".

Disillusioned by the world of international politics, Spencer becomes a recluse, living in that house at the end of your street that smells funny, and always has a couple of old cars rusting to bits in the front garden.

LOL. This made me laugh as much as the original quote. Is this an accepted expression of appreciation now, or just short hand for "That was so funny, I (could have) pissed myself"?

Like BB1 I can't see any future stars in the housemates this series. I can't see any of them having any sort of career in the public eye beyond a few months.

The rest will hopefully be able to get back some sort of normal life and live happily with their memories of the 'experience'.

Alison:
After the hectic week immediately following her eviction, Alison finally has time to watch some of the footage of her time in the house. Shocked at how she comes across on TV, Alison vows that she will, from this day forward, be taken seriously. At a press conference, she promises that "the words 'larger than life' and 'bubbly' will no longer be appropriate to describe me". A new career in journalism peaks with her appearances on BBC2's "Newsnight", with Alison becoming the regular stand in presenter for Jeremy Paxman. Despite concern at an ill conceived attempt to explain PFI initiatives using 6 dozen cream cakes and a vat of chow mein, Alison's career in current affairs journalism looks set to be a great success.

Unfortunately, the strain of keeping her frivolous side under control proves too much, and her Newsnight appearances come to an end after she sings and dances in front of Jeremy Paxman and Chancellor Gordon Brown during an interview, "because it was getting boring". Brown complains that her asking him to join in the actions to Whigfield's "Saturday Night" was wholly inappropriate, as was the comment that he should "cheer up a bit, I'd be well happy if I had all that money to spend."

Jonny:
Jonny manages to survive the Big Brother experience until the last week, but being nominated for every eviction takes a terrible toll on him. Convinced that he's nominated because of being too quiet or too loud the previous week, he changes the way he behaves after each nomination. Eventually, Jonny is oscillating between his manic, "fun" persona, and a quiet, introverted persona several times a minute. After leaving the house, he wanders around his home town, alternately shouting and laughing at complete strangers, and muttering quietly to himself.

Eventually, he is spotted by a noted avant garde theatre troupe, after mistakenly wandering into their auditons thinking it was the Salvation Army Hostel. Jonny becomes a regular player in their highly accalimed productions, and is regarded as one of the leading lights of cutting edge theatre in the UK. A series of interviews (described as "difficult") cements Jonny's reputation as a tortured genius, and he passes his days in luxury, telling anyone who'll listen that he doesn't mind "gannin' on the poor side next week".

Kate:
Upon leaving the house, Kate takes over the editorship of Loaded, her instinctive grasp of what the publication's target audience wants makes her a huge success, and the magazine's circulation rises throughout the first year of her editorship. Disaster strikes at the party to celebrate her first year of editorship, however, as an unknown person shouts that "Whoever edits this must be a bit tarty". Stung by the remark, Kate initiates a succession of failed relaunches of the magazine in new, more tasteful versions ("Being Nicer: We tell you how!"), and sees circulation fall alrmingly.

Eventually removed from the "Loaded" editors position, Kate takes over as editor in chief of "Bunty", bringing a sure touch to the respected magazine for younger ladies. Despite attracting criticism for a racy edition of "The Three Marys", ('Threesome at Greyfriars') Kate's tenure here is widely considered to be a great success.

Lee:
Lee's job with the Dreamboys takes him on tour all over the country - despite dalliances with some female fans, Carmen sticks with him, convinced by Lee's assertion that the women are just "really good freinds" , and on condition that her name is tatooed on Lee after each affair is discovered. At the end of Big Brother 3. as Spencer mania sweeps the country, demand for the Dreamboys drops, as women discover that their dream man is actually a little fellow who's quite grubby, with a nascent pot belly, and minimal social graces. Determined to recapture the spotlight, Lee vows to "bulk down" and begins an intensive course of retraining, sleeping in until 3 or 4pm, drinking 8 pints of lager a night, and at least one hour's farting and belching each day.

Within months, Lee's rebranded "Nightmare Lads" are ready, and become a huge success. Lee's moment of glory is short lived, however, as a tabloid reveals his secret double life as Bernard Hargreaves, insurance assessor and married father of 3. Sadly, this is the last straw for Carmen and Lee - although Carmen accepts Lee's explanation that his wife and children are "just mates" there is no space left on Lee for another tattoo.

Lynne:
Continuing the change in her demeanour that followed the shock of being booed on her eviction night, Lynne devotes herself to good works, becoming active in charity fundraising and advocacy of good causes. Sadly, her good work is undone when one too many glasses of chablis at an official reception causes her to wonder aloud "Just why that George Bush is so bloody cocky".

Sophie & Tim:
Enjoy a brief brush with fame as the stars of a commercial for Quick Drying Paint. The minute long ad features the two former housemates sitting quietly at separate ends of the BB sofa. At the end of the ad the line "Unless watching paint dry seems more interesting" appears.

Sunita:
Is 25. She's a trainee barrister.
