Celebrity Big Brother 2017 - OK or KO?

Celebrity Big Brother 2017 - OK or KO?

After what seemed like years, Celebrity Big Brother exploded back onto our screens in a kaleidoscope of colour, with a brand new pop art themed series. Despite this, not everyone is new, as big brother has only gone and hand picked an assortment of all stars from a range of series aired on channel 5's Celebrity Big Brother.

From the selection we have been given, I think it is fair to say that this series will be one of the best in the history of all big brother, and i think we should be prepared for tantrums, fallouts and a whole lot of arguing.

Speidi (Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag)

 Reality TV veterans Speidi were GOLD on their series, knowing exactly what to do to wind each and every one of their housemates up, in a way that wasn't completely revolting (we are looking at you Perez!) to the extent that people actually left because of them, but in a way where they knew they were the villains and they loved it.

Their personalised jackets can not go ignored, and they made a bold statement bearing the all seeing Illuminati, showing that they will be in control of the series, and no one should cross them. We can expect fireworks within a few days of their entry, and a potential winner, just because of all the hype behind their entry.

James Jordan

Again, gold in his series. Everyone says that you either love or hate James, but i am genuinely in the middle. He is a self proclaimed wind up merchant, pressing people's buttons, although with a slightly patronising tone, and just annoying people in general.

I can see James doing one of two things:

Getting along with, and forming a formidable power trio with Speidi, which will be amazing telly.

James clashing with Speidi, which will also be amazing telly.

Jasmine Waltz

No, it's not a type dance, it's former glamour model Jasmine Waltz, who had the infamous love triangle with Lee Ryan from Blue, and Glamour model Casey Bachelor.

Whilst she's probably over the whole love triangle thing, i definitely think she isn't going to be scared to show her true feelings in the house, especially to the males.

Ray J

Although he had a slightly vulgar VT, Ray J bought his a game, and is alreasy a strong fan favourite

This guy definitely has a personality, and i am predicting some brilliant one liners from him.

Bianca Gascoigne

Bianca Gascoigne was the 5th housemate to enter the house, immediately bonding with fellow new star Ray J.

I'm not really sure what she can bring that Jasmine Waltz can't, although the two glamour models could clash, causing fireworks.

Austin Armacost

Austin was the nice guy in the seemingly chaotic USA vs UK series of CBB, most known for shaving his head for Gail Porter when she revealed she felt insecure about her alopecia. This guy proves you don't have be be nasty to be entertaining, ultimately forming a great romance with James Hill.

There is plenty of room for a new bromance between Austin and some of the other "ladz", although no love interest, after he revealed he had split up with his husband of 9 years in his VT.

Coleen Nolan

Um...

Seems to me that the producers (the REAL producers) seem dead set on getting a loose woman on the series every year. Despite this, I think Coleen's had a wasted journey. with all the larger personalities in the house, and will be one of the first evicted.

James Cosmo

No series of CBB can be without a slightly older person, and i think James Cosmo was a safe sign.

Unlike most of the older people in the house, James is in a very current, popular TV show, meaning people of the younger generation will know of him, and he could get the "He's the only real celebrity" vote, if nominated.

Stacy Francis

Unfortunately, Big Brother couldn't get Tiffany Pollard back for another series, however, don't be dismayed, as they have managed to get the pound shop version of her in Stacy.

I think Stacy will be a gem in the house, bringing attitude and sass, and hopefully follow in the footsteps of the HBIC, and deliver some almighty one liners.

Brandon Block

Although rumoured to be going in, I didn't actually think he would, due to the fact that he wouldn't really bring much to the house.

Image from the Telegraph

I could actually end up eating my words, as going in, he did actually seem tyo have some personality, although if it be that of a "geyser".

Nicola Mclean

Phew, we didn't have any models in there yet! Oh, wait...

Image from the Mirror

Three models? is that really nesesary? Nicola could be great for a few tantrums, but one is OK, two is fine, and three is enough.

Jamie O'hara

Another CBB given is that there has to be an athlete, and it doesn't matter if they are a 5x Olympic gold medallist, or a champion league footballer.

Image from the Telegraph

Jamie says he's only really there for the money, meaning he probably won't be doing much in there, giving us an easy first vote off.

Calum Best 

Another good guy from his series, Calum faced off against his series villian, Perez Hilton, who will not be making a return to the house.

Image from the Telegraph

There's definitely potential for him to bring James or Speidi down a few pegs, and he has said he wants to be more fun this series, so Calum is my wild card.

Angie Best

Why not throw Calum's mum into the mix?

Image from the Telegraph

This twist would have potential to be explosive, if Calum and his mum had had a massive public feud before the house, but as they get along, there's going to be no drama, apart from Calum's initial reaction as his mum walked through the door, which was priceless.

I am looking forward to seeing how the series pans out, as well as blogging and sharing my opinions on it!
