Why didn't they choose Orlaith?

They must have had the choice of Orlaith and Chantelle for this gig, with the hope that the non-celeb might win and rightly chose Chantelle because she did. Superficially, Orlaith may have been initially more convincing. So what swayed them to Chantelle?

Why the hell did they inflict Orlaith on us last summer instead of Chantelle?

More likeable personality, perhaps?

Chantelle made the shortlist for BB6, as did Orlaith, but Chantelle was the one chosen to be put on CBB4 instead.

Seems they had quite a few standbys for BB6 then, you forget Kinga.

Do we know for sure she was up for that one?

Orlaith wasn't a non-celebrity.

She was an obscure celebrity outside of Northern Ireland, but no more obscure than some others who've been in celeb reality shows.

Because Orlaith is dreadful, and her boobs are her only interest and subject of conversation.

Definately because Chantelle is more likeable. Orliath was just awful could you imagine her in celeb BB . At least Chantelle made it a big light hearted and doesn't ake herself too seriously.

Yes as Veri says, Orlaith was a well known model in Northern Ireland so over qualified

Even Chantelle was a bit dubious having been in the papers.

im glad chantelle wasint in BB6.
Dont think she would have fitted in with the nutjobs in BB6,and may have been lured into team britney

Think she would have fitted in brilliantly in BB5 though.

Trust me, Orlaith was not well known in Northern Ireland. Any of the publications she modelled for weren't exactly high circulation

She was a professional model and I think she was well-known enough. She came second in the Miss Northern Ireland; She was Belfast’s Model Of The Year’.

Sure, she was minor as celebs go, but look at some of the other people in Celeb shows. Princess Tamara (who?) Lady Isabella (for being the sister of a lesser TPT). Fran Cosgrove (aka "Natasha's ex"). Others whose names I can't even remember.

LoL, no one remembers second. I thought she was taking the piss out of herself when she said that on her entrance vid. She came second in a competition 5 years ago and she was still banging on about it.

Orlaiths one of the worst contestants ever.

Or they decided she was perfect for this and gave her the choice? Don't know but it sounds logical. They had to have someone who looked like they could be in a girl band or a minor actress or similar, someone with a non arrogant, down to earth personality who wouldn't take herself too seriously on being 'annointed' a celeb and someone who wouldn't be overawed too much.

I think Orlaith might have annoyed the other celebs after discovery because she may have acted slightly more as if celeb status was her due? Not sure how she'd have got on with Traci. I may be being unfair because I didn't dislike her. I prefer Chantelle though

Pete Burns would have torn crybaby Orlaith to shreds with his vile tongue and Orlaith would have walked like the coward she was in BB6.

At least Chantelle stood up to freak boy unlike Orlaith who would have cried in the corner and said 'I want to leave'

I would have thought it was because Chantelle was far more suited to the role that they had chosen i.e. member of teenybopper band Kandy Floss.
