I thought Dani would get a lot of mileage out of it, but I now think she is too young to actualize the opportunity. She is sort-of-pretty, but good looks only gets you so far.

I think Dick will make the most of his time on TV. He has nowhere to go but up.

I hope whoever makes the best out of it will use some of that fame for good and give to charity and if not give, at least work for.

I bet the folks at Bean-O will be calling Dick on the 19th!

Dani doesn't have a strong enough personality, at all. I see Dick capitalizing, perhaps Jess. That's it. Nick's a dime a dozen in LA. Also, not a strong personality.

And let's not forget about Amber's career on the public speaking circuit. lol

I think Dick will gain the most from being on this show.

Nobody from BB really "makes" anything from the show. Some have gotten into casting for other reality shows, and some have gone on to appear in low budget cable programs (like Dr Will, Marcellas and Will Winkle.)
This year, the ONLY person I see getting anything, and it may be despite BB, is Jen.
She already had modeling and tv extra parts. There's always a call for tall gals with bikini friendly bodies.
ED will be the toast of the LA music scene as he will now be known not only by bands and musicians, but also other fans.
Other than that...I don't know.
Maybe Amber will appear in the next ADL calendar.

I don't see Jen getting anything out of being on BB. Jen's a dime a dozen in LA. Plenty of pretty model wannabe actresses in LA. Jen's appearance on BB probably hurt her future hopes for an acting career especially when you consider the "attitude" she gave CBS/AGP when she knew she was going to be evicted. If she continued to give them a difficult time after she was evicted, like trying again to leave sequester, CBS/AGP will spread the word that she's "difficult to work with" and even the extra and non-speaking acting roles she's had before BB8 will no longer be offered to her.

Serious actors/actresses & directors despise reality shows and their participants. They feel that reality shows are cutting into their business. TV networks put reality shows on the air because they're considerable less expensive to produce than dramas/comedies using real actors. None of these BB8 participants will move on to "bigger and better things" in Hollywood in front of the camera.

Dick might get a few speaking bit parts. Nothing big, a few lines in a movie or TV show. But even those are questionable depending upon the flack N.O.W. gives CBS/AGP after the season finale. If they press the issue, no production company will want to deal with the potential bad PR of hiring Dick.

The person who will make the most of being on the show is the winner. That person will make $500K before taxes and couple of bit roles on CBS comedy shows. Then he/she will get nominal appearance money for attending 2-4 reality show conventions per year.

The only reality person I have ever seen get any real mileage out of being on a show was the gal from Survivor who is now on The View.....and I can't even tell you her name.

Dick

And if Dani uses any winnings and really does go to school and become a teacher.. awesome.

Jess, at least locally, since she is already working in radio and tv there.. just more publicity and another hook.

I think Dick understands just how hard it is to make and SAVE money. He won't blow his winnings.

Dani has yet to learn that lesson.

None of them will get much from this.

Almost no reality star gains anything from being on their shows. The most one ever sees is they may make a small blip on the reality show radar; but even then it is more desperately trying to relive their 15 minutes of fame than anything else.

As an example, while I was never a Janelle fan, I felt sorry for her when she was on the show. I felt the same way for the HG's in the All-Star year. They all seemed so desperate for just one more chance of having fickle fans and being on TV.

Perhaps the worst thing these shows do to people is to give them such an high, they always want to go back, as if this is all they are and all their life can be.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is who you're thinking of. Interestingly, I just read on wikipedia that producers wanted her for Survivor All-Stars, but she couldn't do it because she was starting her tenure at The View at the time...



trying to relive their 15 minutes of fame

I could see Dick being the next Jerri Manthey or Johnny Fairplay - the "reality star" we love to hate... doing shows like Surreal Life, Reality Stars Competitions (or whatever it was called), or like Johnny now, is on Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull-riding...

Big Brother has never been a star-maker. It just hasn't been a very good stepping stone for anyone so far. I think it just might be too much exposure. The contestants on shows that don't have live feeds (like Survivor) do much better.

Furthermore, BB doesn't showcase any talents the hg's might have, if, in fact they have any. All it does is show them wearing very little clothing.

David Letterman pretty well blasted any BB HGs aspiration for fame out of the water, when he refused to interview any evicted BB HGs.

Look at how popular Janelle has been the past two years. But then take her popularity and look at whether she's gotten any major paying work - she hasn't. So these HGs need to realize the true definition of 15 minutes of fame.

Loppes, I don't think Janelle wanted any work that way though.

Eric, Amber, and Zach have been the only ones, that I've heard, that think they will get something from being on BB.

Zach might be right about getting something out of it. I went to Dolphincrash out of curiousity. Advertising his site on tv might score him a lot of new business.

I would LOVE to see Eric/Jess and Dick/Dani go against each other in The Amazing Race! Now that would be good TV - I bet both of them would go far in the race. Other than a BB Wedding for Eric and Jess and don't want to see anyone of BB8 after the show - I had to force myself to watch it last night.

I think if Dani wins she wont give any money to her dad and that will cause them to never speak again. They have said they didnt talk for 2 yrs because she borrowed money and didnt like the way he asked for it back. Not sharing this money would be even worse. Plus at 21 you dont know all about investing, I know I woulda blown most of it!

Dick on the other hand, would share with Dani, imo. plus I would hope he would be wiser on investing some of it

If Dick wins the money he will be able to control Dani with it for many years. He won't give her "her half" but shovel it out in smaller amounts over a long period of time. She will have to keep in touch with him and keep the relationship active to keep getting some money.

She will hate that.

I don't see Dick that way at all. He won't control Dani, he will share equally with both his children as he has already stated. All he wants is a close relationship with his daughter, and I hope he gets that.

I would like to see Nick and Dani on the Race. His strength and her brains, she does have some, would take them far, maybe a win. Dick couldn't walk up the stairs to start the race without a cig.

Amber should at least get a Kleenex comercial out of this. She wouldn't have to say a word, just bawl her head off, as usual. Someone, maybe Dick, could keep handing her tissues without a word spoken.

Of course, in reality, no advertising agency would touch either of them after their many wonderful comments in the house.
