Default Is Anyone Else Initially Disappointed with the Housemate Selection ?

My view could change as we get to see more of their personalities but on first impressions they all seem pretty much of a muchness!

We used to get a much broader range of ages (i know there's the one older woman but that's it really!) and types of character but most of them seem really similar so far.

I'm actually holding out a bit of hope for Nick. I think he could have more to him and at least he's not telling us how gorgeous he thinks he is and doesn't think he's superior like a lot of them do.

There's absolutely no stand-out characters like your Marcus Aiken's, Dexter's or Freddy's.

Very bland on the whole sadly!

We'll never get another Marcus or Freddie I fear, they were very much the sort of HM only the extreme nature of BB10's line-up could accomodate.

Nick could have shades of both of them though, given his slight self-loathing and poshness. Lots of slow burners this year I hope.

I like them. Potentially the best lineup for a few years.

I think it's a great mix, certainly much better than the business bunch last year.

Yeah, i really do hope Nick turns out to be a good housemate. He definitely has potential i think!

I really hate the way that at least 90% of the housemates they choose these days seem to be narcissists!

Weren't that pair of twins the ones that someone in TOWIE (Mario, Ricky or Lockie maybe ?) cheated with ?

I really like the cast.
I think it's very C4 like.

Superior to the BB14 cast, which was great, IMO.
Although, the BB14 cast was more diverse.

The second oldest housemate turned out to be the most fame-hungry one of all.

I think I'm fine with the 25 year olds we have ATM.

Not really no, it's a bit early to really tell, I'm not going to judge them too much on their VTs, they're always exaggerated. They look like they could be interesting, nice mix of personalities I think

Nope I'm not disappointed I'm pleasantly suprised that I think this is the best line up since bb10
