It was interesting that The Times did a 'Big Brother' article this Friday... quite a good one actually. And who's image did they choose to symbolise the show? None other than Makosi.
Whether Makosi becomes a 'winner' remains to be seen, I just don't know if she has the talent to be honest. Although I fancy Derek will carve out a nice little earner should he decide to write.
I do take Ray's point though... I always thought Melanie (BB1) was a true star, and out of the House she did have some success initially.
BB6? I can imagine Makosi, Derek, Orlaith and possibly Eugene having the 'presence' to be successful (should they want it). But the rest of them will get just 5 minutes of TV fame, 2 column inches, a bit of ribbon snipping outside the new Tesco and a freebie in some half respectable nightclub.
The simple fact is, an appearance on BB is old hat... the novelty has worn off and its no longer a passport to fame it maybe once was. Sure, if you've got something really special you might get noticed but it had better be stellar.
This would be Mel who wrote "Big Brother ruined my life"three years running in the tabloids and finished rank bottom of the poll that Ray is so proud of.?
I'm afraid in terms of career opportunities for BB6 I an inclined to sympathise as yourself.I feel there are two sides the "white" side of Kate Brian Alison Anna er Ray and others who try to do thngs that are challenging and productive and require some skill and the "dark" side as characterised by Jade and some others I won't name -where it is just magazines and papers and easy money as quickly and as much as possible.Sadly for me the dark side is winning as the establishment prefer a nice ghetto for the BBHM's where seriouseness is marginalised.Compare that odious cats programme on friday where an array of BB losers lined up to have the piss taken out of them by comics who think they are rubbish.
