Frankie Cocozza and Natasha Giggs? You must be joking! What is C5 promoting? Feel sad for other house mates who will lose out on poor ratings because of this. Good bye for this year and hope for better choice in 2013.

The reason why they get more is because the public sector is being sucked dry by leeches who haven't paid into the system. As for the line up we will all still watch because we love what the big brother experience does to a group of people which is why we watch it even when they put in the non celebs!

Note to Channel 5 :- Shagging your brother in law (no matter who he is) does NOT make you a celebrity.

Frankie Cocozza is a nobody who's only known for inappropriate behaviour. He's the worse type of role model for the young and he's deemed a celebrity!!!! Shame on Channel 5.

Jesus, what a load of old rubbish. I mean I don't watch BB usually and sometimes watch Celeb BB for the car crash factor. But the only person i know of is Michael Madson. He must be gutted that he's literally in a house full of nobodies. Face it Channel 5. You've failed and BB should have been euthanized when it had the chance. truely fear what sort of message this is giving to the kids of today that these sort of people can be looked up to as "celebs" when all they've done is been publically flogged for taking drugs/shagging people/getting their baps out.

Channel 5 Have got this one spot on - if the line up was rubbish you would not get all the comments on here - Franky no matter what he has done Channel 5 are thinking ratings - X-Factor Millions of people saw Frankies sad time on the tv read about it in the papers - if you ask anyone in britain who Frankie Cocozza is they will tell you at this time i think frankie is the most well known person in the house as far as celebrity goes he is not - but put 5 Beautiful Women in a house with him and champagne beer and a Hot Tub and you have a few Million viewers watching every time the program comes on tv - Channel 5 has hit the Jackpot Chanel 5 should be Thanking Frankie for making them a fortune from his stupidity.

why is everybody saying frankie is not a celebrity, the fact that you all know his name and what hes from and his history, even though you have no personal connection to him makes him a celebrity, hes one of the most famous people in there for this present time.

natalie acted the secret mission out very well. Did all the money go on paying michael madson so they had to fill the spaces with lots of different models and glamour people who take their clothes off, smile and get paid, or even sleep with their husbands brother, OUTRAGEOUS...and NO live feed either.

As is, I can forsee these 4 in the final - Natalie, Gareth, Kirk and Romeo!! Frankie needs to be himself, not this fake mould of himself, go on boy stir it up, that's really the reason your in there. All the others will be great viewing but are too self obsessed.

frankie fan;
people do not see a celebrity being made do they, look frankie is a star! evryone knows about him, who he is and what he done, stop saying hes a nobody , because if he was a nobody NO ONE would know ewho he was but if you know what he done in x - factor and your thinking 'oh hes a nobody' then how you know him!!!! stop judging him by what he done and more about whast hes going to do, channel five uve done well putting him i n there and i think hes a winner, viewers just need to see that hes obvs not a no one if you know him! he thinks the whole country hates him SO GIVE HIM SOME SLACK! i think hes a mzing, GO FRANKIE!!!!!!

ok i think everyone needs to get off there high horse just because frankie sniffed abit of cocain and natasha slept with her husbands brother does not make them bad people. im sure that there are many people in this world that have all done the same and there not hated on for it so just get over it all ready frankie is an eighteen year old lad its what most lads are like these days. so you should all stop being hypiercritical about it if you dont like it then either keep it to yourselves or dont watch. its a tv programe and saying that these two people are not good examples for young people its on at 9pm so the people that are too young should all be in bed anyways!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How annoying is Andrew Stone. Did he not understand the concept of BB before he went in, its about being judged by ppl who don't know you. How does he think he's going to come over by declaring that each scene was great TV, he's got mega issues and he doesn't even know it.....get over yourself dude!

Very disappointed that someone becomes famous for having an affair then goes on to brag about it. Awful for the innocent parties involved. Not a good choice! Apart from that, love Michael, what a star. Love Frankie too, very entertaining.

The trouble is that no celebrity worth their salt is going to be subjected to the humiliation! Those who do are clearly DESPERATE! Anyone even demonstrating a shred of decency and normality or kindness is soon voted out - hence the lovely Romeo`s eviction - he`s too much of a gentleman to please the moronic masses!

Personally speaking, crikey there is no contest. Withour Michael and the Twins we would have had one boring lot. You should not be celeb for snorting the white stuff and the others are pathetic. Come on fellow brits lets have a winner from the colonies - Michael then the twins, wow that would be a cracker.
