So I got bored and I couldn't keep up my interest in BB1. (
) Decided to watch the 2008 series, the BBUK equivalent of BBAU in terms of casting. (Also because I haven't seen anybody watch this series on the thread before.)
Big Brother 2008, Launch Night:
1. Bianca
2. Rima
3. Alice
4. Terri
5. Travis
6. Dixie
7. Brigitte
8. Renee
9. Rebecca
10. Nobbi
11. Ben
12. David
13. Saxon
14. Rory
oop- at me putting all the men at the bottom except for Travis.
Even though I don't really mind BBAU casting people based hugely on their age, looks and sex appeal. (2005 did a fantastic job on this, 2014 did horribly.) It's great to see diverse casting on BBAU and it's definitely the direction whoever picks up the show needs to head to in terms of casting.
Kyle isn't that much of a good host. Even though some of his jokes are funny, the way he treated Travis (asking him why his voice is so high-pitched, telling him to "come out of the closet" when introducing him). Jackie O is an alright host and she can do a decent job presenting the show by herself, though she lacks the spunk Gretel has. Not going to say if Jackie O is better than Sonia just yet though...
The female cast is great, especially Bianca and Rima (though I know what happens to her). Aside from Travis the male cast isn't really that special but I can see some potential in a few of them.
Launch Show was great like most BBAU launches. The house is okay, nothing too special but I would hate sharing that one huge bed. Looks so uncomfortable but it would make for great viewing.
