'Big Brother', would it improve? I do not watch 'BB'. I was railroaded into watching the opening night. After a seriously frightening realisation that I fancied Latoya AND had a curious weakness for the stout woman from 'Shameless', I vowed to leave well alone.
Now, imagine if high profile politicians, actors, musicians and er... dwarfs (I can only think of Tom Shakespeare; famous in scientific academia circles) were enlisted. C4 paid more for their services. Would the show improve in proportion?
Or does the dynamic of people in the twilight (read - oblivion) of their careers make the show popular to it's fan base? Is it the appeal and novelty of seeing 'the fat one' from band x come back from the dead that makes the show? Maybe a load of high-ranking people in the media spotlight would turn people off.... knowing there will be no inevitable 'comeback career', as they already have one......?
Would a list of housemates including David Milliband, David Beckham, Madonna, Damien Hirst, Bono and Gary Rhodes be appealing, logistics aside?
