OK, I'll admit I watched the first episode of the new Celebrity Big Brother. Admittedly it was whilst I was cooking and having dinner and I'm not sure if I'll watch it again but - Dirk Benedict (Face from The A-Team and Starbuck from the original Battlestar Galactica) is on it! That was a surprise! God knows how he'll do! :p
I'm not sure of the mix of characters they have on this year. I'll admit to not being the most celebrity-minded person at the best of times so don't really know how they'll all get along or what to expect. I suspect my main exposure for the program will be through the bits of 'news' I get in the tabloids if I flick through them at a cafe or the 'internet headlines' when I go to log in to my mail server.
Still, the contestants this year are:
Jermaine Jackson (formerly of The Jackson Five)
Danielle Lloyd (Glamour Model and former Miss Great Britain)
Ken Russell (Film Maker)
Jo O'Meara (ex-singer from S Club 7)
Leo Sayer (Singer)
Shilpa Shetty (Bollywood Actress)
Carole Malone (Sunday Mirror Columnist)
Donny Tourette (Singer of Punk Group 'Towers of London')
Ian "H" Watkins (ex-singer from Steps)
Cleo Rocos (Actress, Writer and Comedian)
Dirk Benedict (Actor)

That was damn funny. Ended up talking to him for fifteen minutes or so. Really down to earth guy.
My name is Ravenrigan and I'm a Big Brother Addict.
I particularly enjoy the bit on Celebrity BB where they introduce themselves. Very few of them have the balls to ask "Err, excuse me, but who are you and what are you famous for?" and even fewer have the good manners to go "I'm Ken, I'm an old film director" or some such. So all the enlarged Egos slowly come to the awful realisation that most of the others have NO IDEA who they are, care even less, and are busy plotting how to become centre stage themselves, now that they are not the centre of attention in their own little worlds any more.
I just love the stunned looks on their little faces as it slowly dawns on them!
a. i feel saddened by the fact that he's lowered himself to such standards
b. that's a huge chunk of my childhood that's been tainted
c. it's going to compel me to watch it more than i care to, which means
d. i may have to shoot myself
