Big Brother is the British version of the Dutch Big Brother television format, which takes its name from the character in George Orwell's 1948 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. After a decade on air, Big Brother moved to Channel 5 in 2011, after the channel signed a 2-year contract. We have a year left...
Celebrity Big Brother 2012 is the ninth series of the British reality television series, that began on 5 January 2012. One question...How are Channel 5 getting away with calling the new series, 'Celebrity' Big Brother? The likes of Frankie Cocozza to Natasha Giggs? They even lost Lee Ryan in the line-up. Now that's bad. Apparently, Lee was all set to go but then he demanded to be paid more than £175,000. Yes, he was getting paid £175,000. How does that make sense to anyone? There's even the huge factor being that even Lee Ryan would have been one of five, who you could actually not struggle to say was famous for having a talent worthy of being famous.
11 years ago, Celebrity Big Brother began, the concept of actual celebrities going into the house in aid of Comic Relief. Celebrities being: Anthea Turner; an English television presenter, Chris Eubank; a boxer, Claire Sweeney; an actress and television presenter, Jack Dee; an English comedian, Keith Duffy an Irish singer, and Vanessa Feltz; a journalist and broadcaster. The term 'celebrity' can be used in this case, where these people actually have a claim to fame, for having a successful talent that got themselves appearing on television, the word 'successful' playing a major part in that sentence.
Big Brother is possibly the best way to illustrate just how our society is seemingly decaying. The fact being that if another Celebrity Big Brother is on it's way, it will consist of solely people who have appeared on the non-celebrity version of Big Brother, now being worthy of the 'Celebrity' status. Surely that should be the point where Channel 5 take a step back and have a look? Course they won't, everybody wants to know how Justine Sellman is doing and getting on, don't they?
