Appearing on a show like
Big Brother appears to give one a false sense of fame. Or perhaps these people already had an intense desire for fame in the first place. You see, it takes a special kind of person to participate on
Big Brother. You have to have a very high opinion of yourself, confident that you won't make a fool of yourself after intense around-the-clock scrutiny. Many
Big Brother contestants have a difficult time transitioning to the real world after
Big Brother, holding on to any semblance of fame they may have received during their season. Yesterday, we took a look at contestants from the first three seasons of
Big Brother. Today, we'll look at where contestants from
Big Brother 4-6 are these days.
