Celebrity Big Brother

Last night saw the return of Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5. Thirteen celebrities entered the house, and as usual you they were a predictable mix of: the soap stars, model, good looking guy, a loose woman, the reality star, a singer from a pop band, the one that came all the way from America, and the one where you think ‘How in the name of god did they pass the pysch test?’

Here’s a list of this summer’s contestants:

1: Louie Spence

He is the star of the Pineapple Dance Studio. He is very hyper and extroverted, flamboyant, and quite simply, annoying. His colleague, Andrew Stone has a similar personality and he went into the house last year. He was the first person to be voted out of the house.

 

2: Lauren Harries

She is a former child prodigy who underwent a sex change when she was 22. She comes across as extremely fragile and I’m not too sure how she is going to mentally cope with being in the house.

3: Sophie Anderton

The former model and self confessed ‘wild child’ is known for being feisty and speaking her mind. She should be the one that will cause some fireworks in the house.

I should note that these three were the first into the house, and they were summoned by Big Brother into a secret part of the house, where they get to spy on the other contestants for 24 hours, and then get to nominate one for eviction.

4 and 5: Vicky Entwistle and Bruce Jones

It’s Les and Janice Battersby from Corrie!! Reunited!! I think that this is the first time that an on screen couple have gone into the house. While they are playing as individuals, it will be interesting to see will they stick together when it comes to game play.

6: Courtney Stodden

The 19 year old American reality star is most known for marrying her then 50 year old husband, when she was just 16. She loves nothing more than being the centre of attention, and everything she does is done to make herself stand out. While she could be entertaining to watch, I’m not sure how well she’ll go down with the rest of the housemates.

7: Abz Love

He is from the dysfunctional boyband 5ive, who have recently reunited on ‘The Big Reunion’. When Emma asked, ‘You’ve just done a tour, why are you going into the house?’ His response: ‘Because I still need the money. You gotta love his honesty anyway.

8: Danielle Meagher (Marr)

All of Britain collectively went ‘Huh?!? Who the hell is she?’ Well, she was on Irish reality show ‘Dublin Housewives’ and owns her own cosmetic surgery company. While she is not known, I think people will like her out going personality as they get to know her.

9: Dustin Diamond

The ten year old in me instinctively screamed ‘Oh my god it’s Screeeeech from Saved By The Bell!’ Very surprising to see him going into the house, but he came across as a nice, humble guy. And you never know, if he gets to the final, maybe there’ll be a reunion with Zack, Kelly and A.C ;-)

10: Charlotte Crosby

Charlotte from Geordie Shore is probably one of England’s biggest reality stars. Judging by the reaction from the crowd as she was entering the house, people love her. I think she is definitely in the running to win the show.

11: Mario Falcone

Mario is from another reality show ‘The Only Way Is Essex’. He is hated on that show, so maybe this is his chance to put across another side to him, and turn public opinion around.

12: Carol McGiffin

The ‘Loose Woman.’ She comes across as someone who is a lot of fun, but also not afraid to speak her mind. I have a feeling she’ll be very entertaining in the house. Another contender to win the show.

13: Ron Atkinson

Football manager ‘Big Ron’ was the last person to enter the house. Regarding the previous controversy surrounding him, he is a big wild card, and I’m not sure how he will get on in the house.

All in all, there’s a good mix of people in that house. But there seems to be an absence of a couple to do a ‘showmance’. Either way, I’m looking forward to putting my feet up for the next few weeks!
