OK - it's just a thought, but play along with me for a while.

Cameron comes out of the BB house as the winner and yet at the time he should be doing the whole media thing he jets off to Chicago. That means he misses out on a lot of appearances while people would still be remotely interested in him.

Seems strange, doesn't it? Now I don't for one minute buy into any idea that he's shunning the media limelight. No, this is a boy who's played a very careful game, ably assisted by a media-savvy family.

Keep reading - I'm going somewhere with this.

Shammy gives crap interviews. He's inarticulate and relies far too heavily on facial gestures and that doesn't make for a good telly presenter even on the God Slot.

Now I can't remember the exact figure, but I have read that Endemol cream off a percentage of a winner's earnings for the first couple of years after they leave the house. A lot of time, effort and money was invested in Shammy and they'll want to recoup that.

Sooooooo, would it make sense to shove him off to the States and while he's out of sight of the tabloids, get him a few lessons with some sort of coach? Not an acting one, but I'm sure there's people over there who make a living out of grooming people to deal with the press and TV - making a silk purse out of the proverbial sow's ear.

Oooo!!! That would explain how the most awful bland winners still do quite well career wise after bb. Even if their fellow hm's have more natural talent etc, the winners to date ..... manage to maintain some sort of media profile far out weighing any natural charisma or 'star' quality.

I consider Brian an exception...he is excellent tv and deserves any breaks he gets.

Well most of the conspiracy theorists seem to think Cameron was BBs choice from the start. So maybe it would have made more sense for them to give said training to him before BB began?

I think it was mainly just to try and make an interesting and different show from last years, on a relatively cheap budget, the most expensive thing must have been the 3 1st class flights. One cameraman, and a 2k professional camcorder were maybe the only other things required.

oh and an editor of course. So the show was easily in profit, at a guess. All the more lovely dosh for Endemol

not really, no.


the only reason you don't buy this is because you have this notion that he's *a boy who's played a very careful game, ably assisted by a media-savvy family*.

the conclusion you should be drawing from all this is, in fact, that you may have been wrong about that.

just maybe?


you really think?

I found it very odd that he was reluctant to give radio I (chris moyles) an interview last week, after all the support they gave him. After listening to chris moyles interview tecnique last week it finally dawned on me, he likes to take the pixx out of the interviewee and almost ridicules them a points, I did wonder whether cam would be up for this or whether it would test his temperment and think maybe this could be why he didn't do it. Either that or they were waiting for him to have this latest trip to prologue his moment in the spotlight.

You know Iain, I'm open to debate on this one. Anyone can tell from the tone of the post that I'm emphasising that it's only my opinion and not given fact.

I would take your points more seriously if you'd stop being so overbearing, but then again I've seen you snipe at everyone else so why should I be any exception.

Any interview I've read with Shammy so far seems to be like pulling teeth since he relies on his facial gestures and grimaces so much.

Whoever drew the short straw at Heat magazine resorted to quoting his answers and describing the faces he pulled in ellipes at the end of each comment.

phew


I know. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be so snappish, but it just gets sooooooo ridiculous that every little thing gets the whole *oh, thats strange - there must be something going on.....* treatment.

your post was a great example, in that the only reason it seemed *strange* was because it didn't fit in with previous assumptions of *strangeness*.

"My Last Conspiracy Theory"

Is it? or is that just a ploy to throw us off the sent ??

Nope.... just a typo.... she really means..... 'My LATEST Conspiracy Theory'.....

I've met him!! He was outisde my office a few weeks ago looking for some address and he asked me for directions...

Lovely bloke... shorter than you'd think tho....Mind you so is Michael Jackson... bumped into him two weeks ago at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in LA... no bouncers or anything, he was waiting for his limo and it was behind mine...anyway I'm rambling now

Hee hee - well let's be honest. At one point there were so many conspiracy theories flying around I was finding it hard to take anything seriously

You gotta keep a sense of humour about the whole thing - after all the entire series was a joke this year and a right clown won it.

ALRIGHT I ADMIT IT! I was the person who started the theory that the Big Brother house was the grassy knoll in disguise

thats what i've been trying to get across....
