John Noel, Endemol and C4

[premierscfc]

There is quite an interesting discussion on DS regarding John Noel's influence on BB. It is quite surprising the number of people who have appeared on shows related to BB.

I still think we would not have had the twist in BB7 to put ex housemates back in if Nikki was not a John Noel client.

[dogtired]

Was she a client before she went in? Or was a deal brokered durning her stay in the house. he seems to have a lot of pull in relation to BB and spin-off shows.

If we believe the rumours about Pete and BB fixing his wining then nothing would surprise me. I wonder if he is a share holder in Brighter Pictures?

Aisleyne may not have had the offers Nikki, Pete and the others have had, but she is going to do better imo, maybe slowly, I am looking forward to the radio show.

Nikki signed with John Noel after her first eviction.

John Noel it seems gets first pick of the winner of each series. Hence he signed up Pete without any other agents being around to make a counter offer. This arrangement began, according to what I read in the Guardian this week when Nasty Nick was ejected in the first series. They had been using one company to look after all the contestants but they decided to call in someone skilled in PR to handle Nick and they went with John Noel.
