Do you think they would be? I think so. She got to on the celeb version for only 3 weeks (not 10) and seems to be getting more attention than any former normal BB 'stars' did. What do you think?

Are BB people jealous of those in other shows though? Ican't think of any-mostly they don't know each other.It is the ones that are in the same shows and have lived and rowed that carry on at each other.(usually they make up though)If anything it is the celebs of CBB4 that might be envious but they are not direct competitors either.

Well Eugene & Science seemed quite genuine when they congratulated Chantelle on the final BBBm show.

On the other hand Craig seems to have been stirring up trouble by telling the tabloids what Camille allegedly thinks of Chantelle. You'd never suspect Mr Coates of being jealous now, would you?

Don't forget that Science, Eugene and Kinga had all met and lived with Chantelle during the BB6 trial run.

Chantelle in the Daily Star (saturday) said she met Science and Mary at the BB6 auditions. No mention of having been in the house with any of them.

Why should they be..????
They all got their alotted 15 mins...as is she.

Then it is done and dusted for most part...apart from their deperation to get to premiers,charity dos for a teeny pic in OK! and any old trashy TV slot of 5 seconds they can grab, and hanging out in z listed clubs for a teeny pic in OK!... ho hum.

I read that after BB6 she did a dummy run for CBB with Science in house.......they chose her

That's because none of them are allowed to talk about thier involvment with the trial run.

I've no doubt there are some - out of 70+ people , it's inevitable there will be a few who are jealous but it may be that more are jealous of the opportunities 'given' to her rather than actually jealous of her i.e. those who feel they haven't been given the opportunities they deserve ( Craig & Kemal come to mind ) while others who maybe had less lofty aspirations or have been given more opportunity wouldn't be jealous at all.

Eugene and Science would be unlikely to be jealous, they operate in different spheres and have a different set of fans. Heard Eugene of 5 Live the other night defending Geeks. Fabulous!

i would love to know if she was all sweetness and light in the dummy run

I heard that too. I'm no fan of Eugene but I thought the bloke who interviewed him was a patronising idiot and wouldn't let Eugene make his points properly (and I agree with what he was trying to say, I think, which is that designer clothes, drinking the right drinks and having to go the right night club etc is its own form of geekdom).

I imagine that most former BB HMs would be glad of any opportunity to get their mugs in the paper, even if it is off the backs of someone else's brief stint under the media spotlight.

As for the males, they know that the women tend to make far more money than them if they are prepared to strip off. But even that source of income is usually time limited as yet another batch of bottle blonde bimbos with silicone breasts fall off the assembly line.

Next time I speak to Eugene I'll be sure to ask him how her behavior compared to that of CBB.... (I think I already know the answer).

I do however know that his opinion of the people (as a whole including chantelle) in the BB6 trial run were generally nicer more fun people to get along with than the people that ended up going into BB6 proper.

I don't think anybody could argue with what you've said there Dangerman, and it's definitely accurate from what I know of some housemates (from both points of view).

There are some things I wish I'd been able to do as a result of being on Big Brother, and some things that I've been stunned at having the opportunity to do. I'm especially glad that I've been able to avoid "most" (lol) of the things I'd no doubt regret, and sadly I think that's where certain housemates come a cropper - whether it's agreeing to do things that are perhaps ill-advised, or seeking to do everything that is offered 'no matter what' just for that 5 minutes of fame thing.

I suppose to some people I might come across as hypocritical when it comes to 'meeja work' after Big Brother, having genuinely thought that I would return to my 'normal' work straight after the programme finished. I do think a combination of things is to blame when it comes to housemates' downfall (or perceived downfall at least) and I don't think it's the fault of the housemates 100% of the time. I know we can blame 'the press' for anything and everything, but a lot of the responsibility for how we view a particular housemate lies with the press, once they're out of the house. Often there's 'no smoke without fire' but we all know how spin can affect things. There is no doubt that some housemates turn up at the renowned opening of an envelope and would be better advised to stay home occasionally - yet on the other hand there's no doubt that some of these events are not the shallow glam-sham that many of them are.

From my own point of view, I'm not jealous of other housemates' opportunities - I love it when I see some of them having great fun and enjoying the loads of exciting opportunities that come their way. I met Ant from BB6 recently and he's having a ball and genuinely enjoying most of it. That's what I like to see, not the desperate circus-following that some are accused of.

I dont think any of them have any right to be jealous, they've had their time in the spotlight so they should just accept its her time now.

When it comes to Big Brother, people forget what rights people have, and doubtless some housemates think they have more rights than other people.

Chantelle will have a great time I'm sure, and so she should.

Chantelle seems to be one of those people who just enjoy life, good luck to her in what ever she does.
