big-brother-renewed-cancelled-cbsBoth lists of renewed shows on 2011 and all the cancelled shows on 2011 are getting bigger and bigger, and this time, it´s getting bigger in the renewal side, since CBS has renewed Big Brother for a fourteenth season.

This news should surprise no one, since the show has been gaining steam lately, year after year posting better numbers, and being 2011 the most watched year for Big Brother since 2004, with averages of over 8 million viewers and over 3 million in the adult 18-49 demo.

CBS renews Big Brother on the verge of its season finale in which the three finalists Porsche, Rachel and Adam are trying to win the big pot prize of half a million dollars.

The show created by Jon de Mol has been a worldwide success for fifteen years now, and its run seems to keep going, because not only CBS renewed Big Brother, but the show is also looking healthy almost everywhere it airs.

Fourteen cycles of Big Brother only in the US, but there are already over a quarter thousand winners of Big Brother in the whole world and counting. That´s what I call a succesful franchise.

reality-tv-starts-success-where-are-they-nowReality Television can mean fifteen minutes of fame and some easy money for a while, and then go back to the darkness and solitude of anonimity. But as my friends at Ultimate Coupons put it, these reality TV stars made the most out of their exposure, or as they say it: Squeezing the Most out of Reality TV Fame.

They’re not about to be washed up designers, no-name singers or forgotten bachelorettes. They’re writing books, helping charities and launching new businesses.

And they are three interesting stories from a Big Brother winner, a Shark Tank contestant and a Hammertime contestant too.

Dan Gheesling took home $500,000 from winning Big Brother Season 10 back in 2008, invested in low risk real estate and launched a coaching blog and go back to coaching high school football.

Bigg Marv, MC Hammer´s cousin, with his fame earned during Hammertime recently hosted a celebration for the troops with Ne-Yo and he’s also working on a sitcom called KINFOLKS. He’s active with the Boys and Girls Club and also loves supporting military families.

Kim Nelson, from Daisy Cakes received a 50K investment from Barbara Corcoran, but the exposure on the show made her upgrade from 2000 orders a year to 2000 orders in the following week after airing.

What do you think about these success reality TV stars stories? Let me know your thoughts.

big-brother-cancelled renewedWe are reviewing all the cancelled shows and renewed shows of the season.

CBS has announced the renewal of Big Brother for a 12th Cycle.

What is Big Brother about? Plot

Big Brother is a reality television show in which a group of people live together in a large house, isolated from the outside world but continuously watched by television cameras. Each series lasts for around three months, and there are usually fewer than 16 participants. The housemates try to win a cash prize by avoiding periodic evictions from the house. The idea for the show came during a brainstorm session at the production house of John de Mol Produkties (an independent part of Endemol) on 4 September 1997. The first Big Brother broadcast was in the Netherlands in 1999 on the Veronica TV channel. It has been a prime-time hit in almost 70 countries. The show’s name comes from George Orwell’s 1945 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four
