They're coming to expo to find a cosplayer so as to put them on BB and deliberately ridicule them. I say we report them to secruity as soon as we spot them. What's betting that they won't have a wristband?

In a way I'd love to troll them and be so outrageous and zany all through the interviews etc and as soon as i got in the house just sit there and be like ... "Yeah....I like comics......" and do sod all that they'd expect XD

That's redicious!
I thought they'd stopped BB now though? Obviously not...
I'd go there, just to be like "EF YOU BB D8< WE'RE TOO COOL FOR YOUR SHOWWW" or something i dont know.
Anyway, its MCM not Comic Con, Comic Con is in USA isnt it? Oo silly newspaper.

How disappointed are they going to be when they find out we don't dress up ALL THE TIME!!

Expo calls itself London's Comic Con, I imagine seeing as they have quotes from one of the organisers expo will be aware of their presence (even if not directly they will probably have seen the article by now)

I very much doubt if they approach anyone it will automatically mean they are going to get in, they'll be looking for a list they can cut down. People just need to be aware they will be around scouting, if you want to do it that's your choice, just bear in mind they might not edit footage of you in a favourable light, unfortunately niche communities showing normal behaviour doesn't make good reality tv

Memorise your memes, people.

You need to understand at least over 9000 memes or one thousand one hundred and thirty seven, so that you never give up or let down, or even just run around and desert the anime community.

When talking to BB don't accept false promises of cakes, but toast is alright, Yeah Toast.

Show them you are a wealth of knowledges, tell them how f*ckin magnets work, and always crush your contact details in your hand before handing them over making an upwards tilting creepy face.

Anime fans are all about the wildlife, quote phrases from Insanity Wolf and ask them if they know just how long a long cat is, so give them what they want because yo dawg we heard you is looking for a weeb so we got a weeb to act like a weeb yo.

The likelyhood of me being approached is very small...however, if they do come anywhere near me I will tell them exactly what I think of this and where they can stick it XD

Hide yo cosplayers, and hide yo friends, and hide yooo contact details because BB are getting everbodys out derr!

Best Speech so far man from you!

xDDDDDDD oh Jae . . .

Is there anybody who still watches this show anyway let alone somebody who want's to be on it.

You know I love my epically pointless speeches <3

But srsly, if they come over to me askin' to talk you guys are gonna be in for a treat.

ahahahaha.

I've previously been asked by BB, Ladette to Lady, Snog Marry Avoid in night clubs in London.

I know how to toy with them well :>

People still watch Big Brother?

I might just be being a little slow, but wasn't Big Brother cancelled? I could have sworn they had finally left it rest/rot...

Channel 5 brought the rights to it and revived it.

Channel 5 brought the rights to Big Brother, so although its technically stopped on mainstream tv, it's still about. I think this is awful if you ask me....

Well there's something I wasnt expecting. I dont class this as a good thing myself but theres so many people that go that the chance of actually getting approched should be very slim

Good luck to them even getting out of the excel alive XD

This reminds me of the whole Snog Marry Avoid thing. Urgh.

Thats so low of them to try and scout people at an expo ¬_¬

If someone does go in and get ridiculed, the entire cosplay community will be out to get Big Brother.

*head desk*

I wonder if telling security that people are being harassed by a film crew would get said film crew removed from site...

Yeah this is awful. I really thought we were rid of that show too. But I guess this is Channel 5...


The best thing we can do now is get the word out to everyone. Try our best to protect the scene.

JUST SAY NO!

http://www.bigbrothersite.co.uk/2011/05/25/big-brother-is-attending-mcm-expo-london-comic-con/ sucky!

Anyone who gets approached.. just make a huge scene until they leave... I intend to if it happens to me, tears, rage.. give em all you got kids! xD

Your intentions mean well, Ice Climber.

But the new cosplay anime fan wanna be superstar generation will eat this up like crack coated caffienated caramel drops.

The community is like a Shire Horse. A huge majestic creature, but at times it stinks like shit and is an animal so be prepared for unexplained stubborness and fickleness.

There's little you can do other than to hold on to your values, with a group of friends who also hold onto them.

Here at Cosplay Island, I can see that there are more here who see this for the plastic shite it is and would never indulge BB in its stupidity.

If they choose someone, it'll be a ultra super weeb that we probably never wanted anyway. You know, that person? Everyone kinda tries to avoid and always uses as an example? Everyone knows that person.
