"The pair, who are both studying social work at Manchester Metropolitan University, also sang their own "twin song" in the Big Brother house. "

Why?

Either these two girls are extremely shrewd operators or any local authority that takes them on needs a proper audit doing.

Take it this is yet another example of money being wasted on education.

Yes, I got out of bed on the wrong side this morning

and don't tell us, I bet they will be recording it in time for it to tradgically become this year's Christmas number one too 9.gif 9.gif 9.gif

BB has a hell of a lot to answer for.

The sad thing is, they probably think they are destined to become mega famous (or in their words, dead dead good) recording artists when in fact it's just some bigwig's idea to make a quick buck while they have their few minutes in the spotlight.

Take the air headed blonde pair of bints and drop them off a cliff. I'm sick to the high teeth of z list arse holes and $hitty chavs wanting to be famous. Gets on my fu*king nerves.

You've got no chance - its cheap TV, and it makes money.

Matt why is it a waste of education?

Quite simple.

Given what you have seen of these two, would you want them as your case worker?

An art degree maybe I could understand, but social work? That requires a certain degree of maturity.

And if they have no intention of following the course into work (regardless of BB infamy) then they are taking up course slots that others may have wanted.

They are not thick. They cant be unless they are doing an access course, and even then they must have shown some intelligence. However they lack any form of visible maturity - hence my comment on shrewd operators.

Education is a finite resource, and wasting it does nothing for those less fortunate than themselves.

Guess it's easier for the record companies etc. to find someone who is the big thing of the moment and try to get one or two cheap tacky 'novelty' hit sfrom them and then as soon as they are not popular anymore, drop them like a stone. There are bound to be hundreds more waiting to take their place.

Got to be easier than trying to find a decent band but then having to worry about giving them a long term contract and them not being able to produce the goods after the first big album.You would also need to worry about keeping the band happy over the many years they are working with you. With these one hit wonders, show them a tiny taste of stardom and they are happy.

it's like many things these days, cheap disposable crap, designed to have a very short lifespan or shelf life

Cheap disposable crap yes, should be disposed of before it's even released!

Matt i am a professional but my friends will tell you when i was 18,i was the last person they would expect to have been a nurse. I used to laugh at the most stupid of things and we could all be immature. doesnt make me a bad nurse now.

Ok, but have you been on a reality TV show for 10 weeks acting like a complete airhead?

Given a Social Worker is expected to be able to withstand cross examination in court, have a think of this.

Social Services take a couple to court for neglect. The social worker has spent last 10 years building a career up having been a reality TV airhead for a year or so.

The defence barrister gets wind of this. What do you think he will do? Ignore her airhead background, that she presented herself as a complet fruitcake for 10 weeks? I think not. He will rip into her background, and regardless as directions to the jury to ignore what he raised, the issue has been sown in the minds of the jury.

Now lets progress a few days, you are the Director of Social Services, and a child that is in danger is still in danger because the jury found the parents to be not guilty, partly because of skewed judgement on the professionalism of the social worker. You spend most of your working day defending your team from press reports. How would you feel if the press then came knocking on your door?

In a perfect world we can all move on from our miss spent youth and achieve greatness, but this is not a perfect world, this is a world driven by the media, and being fed by the likes of these two women.

You reap what you sow...

matt they have hardly ruined their career (their singing career wont pull off but hey). in weeks to come they will be nobodies again and be able to get on with their daily lives like so many other BB contestants have. they are good girls who havent done anything no other 19 year old hasnt done. they came acros, i thought as genuinely nice people.

Nud, to you they did, but to a defence barrister this would be an absolute godsend.

Here are things that could easily be picked up from 5 mins googling

Four links. Four links with enough info in to undermine any professional integrity they may gain in future. Yes they are just 18 and we've all been there. But and this is the rub. None of us have had our lives scrutinised for 10 weeks.

They're probably destined to end up in Nuts or Zoo. I think at least one female participant of this years Big Brother already has...

We will.

Question. If you were ever in a position of being accused of abusing Daniel, would you want one of them as your case worker?

Society has already judged their future based on 15 mins of fame, which is a shame, as for all we know, they could be the best case workers ever.
