Will this idea net former Big Brother housemate big bucks on Shark Tank?

REMEMBER the Harry Potter lookalike from the last season of Big Brother?


Well he’s back for another shot at some small screen cash, but this time he’s traded housemates for sharks, pitching his big idea on Sunday Night’s episode of Shark Tank.

Is it sad that I barely recognised the guy from the 40 second video clip that they showed and honestly thought to myself..
Who???
lol And I don't remember their being a "Harry Potter" lookalike... He looks nothing like anyone of any importance from the potter series.
I do remember their being a.. "Twilight" lookalike though?
 
eiw...way TMI

I suppose she has to stay relevant:

Chrissie Swan has reached her "sex quota"
January 22, 2015

If Chrissie Swan had her time again, she'd probably sign a "sex contract" allowing her to stop doing it at 38.
The 41-year-old says she and her partner, known affectionately as "The Chippy", have sex once a year and she's nervous to do the deed because she falls pregnant easily.

The situation now feels "too far gone" and "awkward", Swan told online magazine Show and Tell.

"Every time I have sex I get pregnant," she said.

"I (have) actually ... got to seek counselling 'cos I'm actually scared of his wand."

Agreed!

I don't really like Chrissie. She is quite immature and after seeing her attitude and behaviour on "I'm A Celeb" I am totally off her.

I reckon she is really overrated.
Not to mentional delusional to boot. The way she talks about her past love life/ex's in pieces she writes in the papers you'd think she was a former supermodel. lulz

It's totally disrespectful to her current partner as well and I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot ( hubby boasting about his romantic past to all and sundry) women would be critical and label her husband a classless cad. But Chrissie being an obese female gets a pass I suppose.

Never liked her to me she's always struck as someone that clearly has a complex and insecurities.

Yeah, Chrissie's issues are kinda clear to see. While I appreciate her infectious sense of humour at times and give her points for creating a radio career out of BB, I agree with what you say. A guy would get a schlacking if the boot was on the other foot, and I don't disagree that she gets a pass for being "real"..... isn't that how it's positioned?

Accused on air of being lazy, she said working 14hrs a day and raising kids wasn't lazy, to which she was then told: "not fitting in exercise and not being active with your kids and trying to teach them a healthy lifestyle is definitely not the right way to go.”

No-one's perfect, but I reckon she just does what suits her and it's all down to her personal choices at the end of the day.

Edit: Oh, and the once a year sex line, what a load of cods!
 
Alex Mav appears to be moving on.


Ex-Big Brother producer joins ITV Australia
Former Big Brother executive producer Alex Mavroidakis is joining ITV Studios Australia as a project-based showrunner and executive producer.

He joins former BB co-exec producer Karen Dewey, now Head of Factual and Reality with ITV.

Mavroidakis, part of Endemol’s Big Brother franchise from 2002-2014, has specialised in reality and light entertainment, including in the UK, with credits including The Apprentice, The Amazing Race, The X Factor and Medical Emergency.

“A leading creative in the Australian television industry, Alex comes with a wealth of experience,” ITV Managing Director Anita Jacoby said.

“He was a key architect in the development of Big Brother as a family program. He’s also created plenty of shows from the ground up.”

In 2013 Mavroidakis, also the voice of BB‘s “Surly,” spoke with TV Tonight about the challenges of producing a show like Big Brother, in which a fervent audience always weighs in with invested opinions.

“You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t in this business and what I’ve learned is that I get 1000 tweets a day telling me I’m the best producer in the world and 1000 telling me I’m the second coming of Satan!”

There have been rumours of a Celebrity Big Brother for Nine this year but they appear to have waned amid talk of another Celebrity Apprentice from FremantleMedia.

So he's jumped ship from the Endemol-Shine merger and gone over to ITV.

Good riddance. :yawn:

Meanwhile Nine's advertising revenue projections have taken a dive and Foxtel has bought a 15% stake in TEN. :hungry: :wideyed: o_O :cautious:

Does this basically confirm there will be no big brother next year? I mean Peter Abbot works for ITV to so both Executive Producers of the format are in contract. :frown:
 
Perth celebrities in a twist over nude yoga

"Of course, it didn't hurt that the owner of Twisting Peacock Yoga in Osborne Park happens to be close friends with hit92.9 breakfast host Heidi Anderson, who in turn convinced a number of fellow "Perthonalities" to head along to a cheeky session over the weekend."
