See this is why I wish you Brits would realize what a goldmine you have and create an online service that lets me subscribe and watch every channel you have. I'd gladly hand over my money.

Even though it's awful I'm kinda glad 5 is keeping this all going. Wouldn't feel right otherwise.

The list of people alone makes this already one of the biggest train wrecks in television.
If I were Tila Tequila , I would sue Channel 5 (who own the UK rights to Celebrity Big Brother).
Apparently they aren't going to pay her a cent in her appearance fee, which means she travelled all the way from the USA to the UK for nothing PLUS she has given Celebrity Big Brother UK a shitload of hype before her entering the house - and now with the controversy surrounding her being booted from the house.
Whether they knew she was a Hitler sympathizer or not (I believe 100% they knew - there was no way they did not conduct a simple google search before offering her a place on Celebrity Big Brother) - I don't think it's fair for Channel 5/Big Brother to profit at Tila's expense (plus she probably had to turn down work in the coming months, because she would be in the Big Brother house - so she could even potentially be losing income because of this mess).

I agree tbh, who gives a fuck about her nazi bullshit, did she say that stuff in the house? no she didn't
apparently a jewish group demanded she be thrown out, I highly doubt Channel 5 would have missed out if british jews would have boycotted it.
It's Reyn Time!

Yeah I'm sure she was turning down offers left and right and desperately making room in her packed schedule so she could appear in the prestigious Celebrity Big Brother on that bastion of British television, Channel 5.
Channel 5 probably paid for her travel and stay at the hotel and it's not like she's on TV all the time these days, so CBB is a good boost for her even if it only was for one day. It's not like she's busy and had to cancel anything else in order to go on the show.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Other than Fatman Scoop, Jenna and Tila Tequila I had to google every one of these "celebrities".
Got to Farrah Abraham....the results were weird....reading her rise to "fame" is one hell of a sad story, her being an early villain makes me think she will be good bad television.
Should be an awesome season....shame that Tila is already out.
P.S Last year "Showbiz" got the record for quickest exit from the house....he was evicted/removed live launch night.
I dont think its possible to beat that unless someone gets booted during the interview stage with Emma.

Surprise, surprise... Channel 5/Celebrity Big Brother are trying to negotiate with Tila to get her back into the house - because she's threatened to sue them as she apparently has evidence proving that Channel 5/Celebrity Big Brother had conducted a thorough background check on her before offering a spot on the show.
I cannot believe Channel 5/Celebrity Big Brother were that stupid to not think Tila would sue their asses! Now they are scrambling to try and get her back in, because if Tila wanted to, she could sue for a shit load more than just the appearance fee she was supposed to be paid (e.g. emotional pain and suffering, loss of income).
In fact she has a history of prior mental illness and can argue that Channel 5/Celebrity Big Brother exacerbated it and she's regressed back into mental illness (the tabloids are all talking about Tila being booted from the Big Brother house - which understandably could make someone with a history of mental illness feel like absolute shit). I would honestly say Tila probably has a million dollar claim against them.

Tila Tequila Negotiating Return to 'Celeb Big Brother'... But Also Threatening Lawsuit
Tila Tequila wants back on "Celebrity Big Brother" now that she's apologized for her comment supporting Hitler, and we're told she's negotiating with producers to return, but also giving them an ultimatum.
TMZ broke the story -- Tila was removed from the show after day 1 ... producers said they couldn't tolerate someone who supported Hitler. But Tila believes producers planned from the very beginning to feign shock and fire her to drum up publicity.
A rep for Tila tells TMZ the show did a thorough background check on the reality star before they signed her. The rep says Tila's pro-Nazi remarks in 2013 were readily searchable.
We're told producers and Tila are now discussing the possibility of her returning.
If she can't work it out, we are told she'll sue to get her $175,000 check.

Is there a reality TV show that a Baldwin won't do?
Stephen cleared the trifecta by appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, Celebrity Mole and Celebrity Apprentice.

Farrah is the most unpleasant person I've seen on TV. And why does she fucking put lip goss on in bed. She will be slaughtered by the uk public, definitely the first to go.
It is and it isn't. I mean, Stevie is like a child. He clearly has a few issues with their relationship and is making up some silly excuses in order to try and hide them whilst they're in the house. It's like watching a train wreck. But then, if the show is really damaging their relationship, that's not cool.
Janice Dickinson is the fucking devil. Her and Farrah need to fuck off of my television, sharpish.
They're both people who conjured up fake personas to get on XF, trying to maintain a 'real' relationship. Chloe's as posh as Lidl.
She's a terrible actress, and he's been too blinded by punching above his weight to see what it really is.
We're just watching the sad but inevitable results.
I don't want to watch it. Not only is it boring, it's pretty uncomfortable, real or not.
What we need is more of Jenna Jameson's ridiculous bum.
I think Chloe's hyperdramatic pleas from the heart are some of the funniest bits so far, Stevie's just getting a wake-up call.
Jenna needs to get the hell away from Farrah.

Blocked for UK, but Channel 5 are leaving them up and don't seem to mind as the show has quite a following abroad.
Links for UK viewers are in the OP.
Poking my head into this thread, it seems like a fight to remain relevant, at least on the US side.
Because she's on TV?
Because she's on TV?
So true.
Vote to evict she'd be toast, but with vote to save she'll probably survive a few evictions.
They'll be boos, chants to get her out, and burning effigies though.

Yeah... Task or not, I have no idea how they let that pass.. What the fuck
Yeah, she took it to a whole new level. Reduced three of them to tears. Some of it could have even been against the law, even if it was fake. I had to laugh though.

Well she was straight up homophobic, that was unnecessary to get them riled up. If she was racist would people have reacted differently?
Lol against the law.
