Celebrity Big Brother

If you end up using one of the services mentioned below to watch British TV, be sure and watch Celebrity Big Brother on Channel 4. I know it's cheesy but it's a guilty pleasure and there was some real characters in it this year. Vinnie Jones was exactly how you would expect, a complete bully to everybody. Stephanie Beacham was very hoighty toighty and Stephen Baldwin was just a basket case. The others on the show were as follows:

- Alex Reid

Alex Reid (born 21 August 1975) is an English professional mixed martial arts fighter, best known for being the current husband of Katie Price following her split from Peter Andre.

- Dane Bowers

Dane Bowers (born 29 November 1979) is an English pop singer, songwriter and record producer. Most famous for being one of the founder members of Another Level who had a UK number 1 single in 1998.

- Heidi Fleiss

- Ivana Trump

Ivana Trump (born February 20, 1949) an ex-wife of real estate developer Donald Trump, is a Czech-American fashion model and socialite

- Jonas Altberg

- Sisqó

As you can see, not the most famous bunch but their characters more than made up for their lack of fame. Just a real good laugh. Also it's the last one but I heard Channel 5 may be picking up the format.

  1. I know, I know but when you live in another country shows like this take on a different feel. They give a small insight into British popular culture. Also I am not afraid to embrace bad TV, sometimes it's so bad it's good.
