Not because they are young gorgeous and have fab figures but because they will make loads of money with magazine deals etc which could potentially set them up for life.

And for what? For absolutely doing sweet FA. For having nothing to offer, for having no discernable talent. Just for making total exhibitions of themselves.
I have to work bloody hard to make ends meet - and it does annoy me that they are going to make far more money than I will ever see in my life time.
I would like to see it go back to one winner, one amount of prize money. A few interviews with the papers for the others and then they join the rat race like the rest of us.

So,,,, YES I am a vile jellus bulleh. 
And no I would not go on there .... but doesn't mean to say they should all see it as an easy meal ticket.

Doesn't come without it's drawbacks, public hatred, every detail of their life being looked at through a magnifying glass, no privacy, having stories sold about their private life by ex friends/boyfriends. No thank you.  I would absolutley have to be famous. I am happy being a nobody.
That's true - but the idiots want it... so I can't feel sorry for them.
I agree tho - better to be a nobody.

I'm jealous of them because I've always wanted to go on Big Brother since I was little and I first started watching it and I guess I'll never be able to. This is quite a shameful thing to confess
So did Ickle Maz.   In fact it was her grand plan for her gap year.  As its got closer I had started to get the eeby jeebies about it all.   I was a little bit relieved when it was revealed this was the last one...  a year before she is 18.

If she'd gone in the house there is no way I would have been able to come on the forum.... I would have just been sitting there watching the live feed, chewing my fingernails to bloody stumps!

My 20 year old entertained this for a while ... it would have been disastrous.
When she is drunk she gets very truthful
OH lordy the times I have had to pick up pieces when she has declared true love to some boy or the other,.

I know!!    Mine can be lovely...  but she IS a teenager... she can be highly strung... and oh gawd...   I was really crapping it actually.

She even had me considering applying with her... from her point of view try to get in as a mother daughter team...   the only thing that  made me consider it was that that way I could try to keep her out of trouble... AND I wouldn't have to read what was being said about her on the forum!   (& I could wave to Ducky from the BB house! )   

Daughter is going to apply to a couple of other things....  a Shipwrecked type programme... and some other things (music based).

She doesn't want fame.... she just wants to do them for the laugh...  cos I have brought her up on big brother!

My son is the same .....he's 28 now and I'm so surprised he never applied (relieved as well TBH) the thing is .....it does make me mad when FM's on here go on and on about how the HM's are only there to further their careers and get famous ............whilst I agree some of them are (Ben) I honestly believe the majority go in for a good summer and great experience.

TBH most of them return to a hum drum life after the initial post BB excitement.

Out of this year's lot can you see any of them going on to great things in the media? I think this whole expectation of fame started with Jade. I dont think Jade knew what she was looking for when she went in BB, and all the stuff afterwards fell into her lap more or less.

How can you lot say JJ isn't good looking? Sorry to go off on a tangent but he was just on my screen. Erm, as you were!

I agree with this, and I don't think they've all got game plans either and that they're all plotting against one another-I just think a lot of what goes on in there naturally happens as a result of the environment of it all.
I'm so glad that someone else sees it like me .......some of the convoluted theories on here make me laugh TBH. They're just in there living it day to day IMO.

From the first BB....  I wanted to go in there, and it most definitely not for the fame.   In fact the media attention was the drawback.   

I'd watch it year after year and just think it looks like such a laugh!

Then I saw the year when Charley & Chanelle were in there... the beginning bit where there were no men... & then they got Ziggy...    and I thought "oh I would be SO gutted to be there now"

I'd have been gutted last year too.

aw but at least in Skins they play a part Rexi...  so you can write off any "issues" as the character 

(though I can see where you are coming from....  watching Skins with my daughter & husband in the room has some cringy moments for us all....   think how much worse it would be if it were daughter on screen doing some of that stuff! )
