It's an old format run into the ground. That's basically Celeb Big Brother in a nutshell.You get a few people each year that you actually have heard of, but when you have to be told in great lengths about who the people are, and why they count as being a celeb then surely the format is dead? Poor old Emma Willis has to stand there and make the 'twists' in the format seem exciting, and try to make us care about these Z listers, but by now I think we all spot this show for what it is - car crash telly.

This is a version of Big Brother that has celebrity housemates and much shorter series. Very few of the celebrities are actually famous. Most of them either used to be famous and are trying to make a comeback - or they are talentless wannabes who have never really been famous and are trying to use a reality show to launch their careers. Most of the housemates are either boring or are arrogant / obnoxious.

I can't even explain why I've decided to review CBB, but here goes, it is trash viewing at its finest, a bunch of z list celebrities with huge egos and non existent careers are forced to live together. That said I cannot help but watch it, every time it comes around, which is now twice a year, I say I'm definitely not watching it, I find myself getting hooked. I'm not one for reality TV in the main, but I can't help but get into it. The Perez/Katie Hopkins series has perhaps been the most watchable to date, watchable I know for all the wrong reasons. You do get to see some of the true nature of some of the celebrities, they start to sweetly and play to the cameras, but often you see the true horrors appear. Beautifully presented by the drop dead gorgeous Emma Willis. A definite guilty pleasure I'd never admit to watching.

Just as unbearable as the summer one, which seems to go on forever, this tired out pile of rubbish now has a new lease of life on Channel 5 after nine years on Channel 4. Basically it is like the general public one, where people are placed in a house cut off from the rest of the world and filmed, in the case of the zeleb one, for three weeks with various challenges to do to make the show more interesting.As with all these pointless reality shows with celebrity in the title( mercifully only this and I'm A Celebrity survive of this genre now), the celebs are the usual gaggle of almost forgotten soap stars, glamour models, one hit wonders and a more recent phenomenon, contestants from other reality shows like Jedward and Kerry Katona.While about 2 million people still lap this rubbish up, mercifully most people have seen through Celebrity Big Bore and the bunch of whinging, moaning and often unpleasant z list celebs. My one wish is that both versions of Big Brother get cancelled forever as falling ratings suggest people are sick of the show and the hype around it. However, like Star Trek, it seems to have attracted a cult fanbase who are prepared to spend hours standing outside the house in the snow, waiting for someone to be evicted.Mercifully, ratings for this show on Channel 5 have now tumbled to a million and it's like the franchise could be cancelled after 2017's series.
