Celebrity Big Brother Winner Summer 2014

Well that is it for the summer session of Big Brother with the winner of the Celebrity show being selected tonight. Thankfully now we have entered the autumn schedules there will be plenty to entertain us the show returns at the start of the new year.

After three weeks American actor Gary Busey was crowned the winner of the show after some amazing twists and turns that we have come to expect from the show since its move from Channel 4. Other than being in the house this summer Gary is best known for his roles in Point Break and The Buddy Holly Story, and his reputation for bizarre behaviour which we certainly saw this summer. The purists of the show might not like the changes to the show but it has brought it back to its peek around the time of Big Brother 5 when Big Brother turned nasty.

Well it has certainly been an eye opener of a show, showing the effects of what a massive ego can do. Lesley Jordan, the excessive name dropper of the first night turned into a real queen bee in the house with everyone feeding his ego which was bigger than the empire state building. He was so self centred that the whole house had to revolve around him and he made sure he did this by being the biggest drama queen I have ever seen in the house. Thankfully he didn't stay long.

Then there was Frenchie and her horrific tempter and fake boobs, James the patronising coward who some how made it through to the final 6. Of course we had a fake romance all for the sake of the press. And who can forget Kiellie who spent a week wanting to get out of the house, not understanding that is the best way of making sure the public keep you. Then finally there was the house bloke George, a man that spends his time watching TV while being on TV for a living.

One final thing I have noticed in this summers celebrity house is the intolerance, bullying and a lot more game playing than any of the recent celebrity shows. Over it has been a classic as far as conflict goes and a good way to end the summer series. 

Celebrity Big Brother - Inside the House

Well they have certainly been busy at Elstree Studios over the weekend getting ready for the summer Celebrity Big Brother show. The old house mates left the house on Friday night and tonight the, so called, celebrities enter the house. As you can see it been cleaned and transformed and it is certainly very colourful this year so I hope they packed their sunglasses.

I wonder what the celebrities will make of the double beds and the mind games that will be played on them as the series unfolds. Just hope they get a week of basic rations at some point during the show, that always good for a bit or arguing about food and the other bickering that it can cause. Should be a interesting show and it all starts in a little over an hour.

Celebrity Big Brother - Summer 2014

All those people that dislike Big Brother might have thought it was safe to turn over to Channel 5 tonight, but they would be in for a shock with the start of a new summer series of Celebrity Big Brother starting tonight at 9pm. It is the show where a group of down and out Celebrities try and bost themselves into the A List by appearing on TV.

As always don't expect to know too many of the house mates. A lot of them tend to be bit part players in the celebrity world living their lives on low rating shows and on the not so popular TV channels, but there will be the odd big name if they have paid the right fee. Rumored house mates this summer include:

• Sex-swap boxing promoter Kellie Maloney, 61
• Former Strictly hunk James Jordan, 36
• Towie babe Lauren Goodger, 27
• Gogglebox star George Gilbey, 30
• Boxer Audley Harrison, 42
• Benefits Street queen Dee White, 43
• Made In Chelsea babe Stephanie Pratt, 28
• Kelly Brook’s boyfriend David McIntosh, 28
• Geordie Shore’s Ricci Guarnaccio, 27
• Ex Bewitched Singer Edele Lynch, 34
• Soap superbitch Claire King, 51
• Hollywood star Gary Busey, 70

If the last main show Big Brother is anything to go by it should be quite a show. It was the best Big Brother series for many a year with great tasks and a great mix of house mate and the power theme with simple genius. I will be watching as always, will you?

Updated - 23:00 18th Aug 2014 - Well the list held true with the addition of US Actor from Will and Grace, Leslie Jordan, 59,  and finally former exotic dancer and US reality TV star, Angelique “Frenchy” Morgan, 38.

Celebrity Big Brother Summer Winner 2013

Well it is the end of another summer season of Big Brother and it all ended with the final of Celebrity Big Brother 12. As usual the show had all the twists and turns you would expect from the show with task like the battle of the sexes with the female members of the house going up against the male members in a series of funny challenges. 

As you would expect the house wasn't quiet and there were a few arguments and outbursts the worse resulting in a warning being given to Mario Falcone for slapping Sophie Anderton while play fighting in the garden. Then there was the occasion where Carol McGiffin received a formal warning from Big Brother after using the N word and another warning was given to Ron Atkinson when he said to another house mate "You're not carrying a bomb with you, are you?" because she had jumper over head in a fashion that made her appear like a Muslim female.

In the end the winner was Charlotte Crosby, who for those that don't know is English reality television personality who is known for her role on Geordie Shore. She entered the house on Day 1 and was crowned this series' winner on Day 23 and gave us together with the rest of the house mates gave us 23 days of entertainment night after night.

More Celebrity Big Brother

Well today see the start of another series of Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 5. It is clear the success of the show means a twice year stint on the channel is going to be the norm, with a once yearly main show.

The show starts with a twist with half the house being stuck in the basement, a similar idea to the uptairs and downstairs twist that appeared on the Channel 4 series a few years back. With it shortern 3 week run it is sure to be a big hit again for the television station who have manage to stop the decline of a once great show.

Celebrity Big Brother - Summer 2012

With just a could of days passed after the main show the people at Channel 5 have the house already for a new bunch of hosemates. All of them ready to fight it out to the end to become the winner of the summer celebrity show.

Since the show moved to Channel 5 the ratings have always been better for the Celebrity version of the show, so it comes as no supprise that they have included a Celebrity version of the show this summer.

Looking at the peolpe they have lined up it looks like it is going to be a good show, and I hope it is. It will be what the show needs to secure it's future on the Channel. As always I looking forward to be entertained for the next few weeks by a show I love.

Big Brother 2012 - Final

So we come to the end of another enjoyable series of Big Brother and I must say that Channel 5 have made the show there own, even if they haven't managed the same viewing figures than Channel 4.

The 31-year-old, sex change, development chef, Luke Anderson, received the most votes to win in this years final. He left the house to huge cheers, thankfully, and was presented with the £50,000 prize money by the host of the show before telling us that about himself, as if we didn't know already.

I think for once the public got it right. He wasn't the most boring housemate but then he wasn't the most interesting. He sort sailed down the middle and provided enough drama to make the show work with an interesting sex change sub plot.

I just hope he feels accepted for who his now, which was probably his reason for going on the show, because I think even Z-list fame won't come from the housemates of the Channel 5 show.

Celebrity Big Brother 2012

Here we are again and the start of another Celebrity Big Brother. I'm hoping that Channel Five pulls out all the stops and we get a cracking show that set us up for the summer. I know many, may be some of the executives at Channel Five included, would have been disappointed with the viewing figures for the main show, but  then again I thought the viewing figures did well against the autumn competition . This years main show be in it's rightful place smack in the middle of summer.

The format is the same of as that of the main show. People share a house for the duration of the show while being filmed 24/7. The housemates then get a chance to nominate housemates, normally once a week, to leave house via a public vote until the final week arrives. The winner is the housemate that stay's in the house to the very end. The main difference between the main show and the celebrity version is that later is shorter. The theory being is that celebrities have busier lives than everyone else on earth. Only time well tell who the celebrities will be for this years show. Rumours in the press change daily in the run up to the launch night.

Hopefully tonights show will be a big success for the television channel just like the main show in the autumn. Although show didn't get massive ratings it did pull the teen audience from the shows former channel, Channel 4. This meant Channel Five could charge more of advertising so supporting the cost of airing the show and increasing the companies profits. This has to be a good sign for the future of the format which looks like it is going to continue for some time to come.

The show starts tonight on Channel Five at nine o'clock. If like me you like to interact with the show you can do that via Facebook, Twitter or one of the many of the Big Brother forums like thisisbigbrother.com, which I think is the best of its kind on the net.

Big Brother move Confirmed

At last the news every Big Brother fan has been waiting for. It has been confirmed that Channel 5 has signed a two year deal with the producers Endemol and the show will return later this year.

Channel 5 said it was "hugely excited" to have secured the deal and that was a "a key part" of its TV schedule. The program will continue to film at it's old home at Elstree Film Studios but without it former front woman Davina McCall who ended her association with the show when it finished last summer.

Jeff Ford, who is the director of programmes at Channel 5, said The series has previously captivated a decade of television viewers," and they plan to bring "Channel 5's energy, optimism and vibrancy to the series."

The show will be launched by a celebrity version in the summer followed immediately by another featuring members of the public. One can only assume this allow them time to start the selection process of the public show which would normally be well under way by now. 

It is going to be interesting to see how the show fairs and I'm hoping this year if it starts in the holidays I will have some time to return to thisisbigbrother.com and join in with all the banter with the other fans of the show.
