My concern reading this is that this season is going to be so inanely PC and “unoffensive” that there’s going to be no spark. We’re at the point in society where I’m apprehensive a show like Big Brother can work… like it did 20 years ago.

But why should being PC or inoffensive be regarded as a negative ? I hate infighting / stressful situations We are all so different Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Diverse housemates should lead to more conflict. Conflicting opinions anyway, we don't need a fight.

To me that smacks of someone's background leading them to not see that hating on LGBT folks is seen as backward, and the other HMs being briefed that the person will hold those views. If not that exactly, then something like that. |

Because that’s not life and having everyone walking on eggshells pretending to be nice is not entertaining. It’s fake and boring.

Our lives are full of stress and anguish why would you want to see a group of strangers experience those same conditions. Watching a happy , settled group of people all getting on with each other respectfully - would be a refreshing change . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I don't think it is realistic to think that they will all be able to get along living in such close confines for 7 weeks If they do all get on organically that is great but people biting their tongues and playing nice for the cameras is not what BB is about imo.

My preference would be to choose a group of sensible, reasonable people but from diverse backgrounds . Not hire a bunch of weirdos instructed to ‘be nice’ .. Obviously tensions will rise even with a group of reasonable folk but they would still be able to settle things in a mature , reasonable manner . You can see angry , out of control people screaming at each other in just about every town centre any night of the week Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 06-10-2023 at 08:06 AM. |

If it happens organically that will be great. However, people from diverse backgrounds will have diverse opinions and so there will be differing views on a lot. Now, if that leads to sensible debate, that's great but as the whole premise of BB is almost a "pressure cooker" environment, I am sure there will be disagreements that arise. How they handle the disagreements will be what makes it interesting to watch. I personally would prefer a blow up argument to bitching and back biting behind people's backs.

when it's 16 people, even if everyone was as nice as pie and calm. There will be arguments after a week. It's just how it goes

I could be completely wrong because it's all just conjecture on a media fluff piece but all it sounds like is they're going to play it more natural, which sounds like a good thing. The first few years of the show were like this. They weren't 'dull', they had plenty of arguments, but they were human arguments from human situations that didn't feel overly contrived.
It's possible to both be nice and be entertaining. I think some have the view that BBUK was always and should always be this cynical mental circus. BB5 set the expectation that each season thereafter would have to somehow construct a fight night, and I'm not saying those years sucked, but its actual national interest peak remains the early few years - BB3 in particular, which...well...it was quite nice and ordinary really. But still massively entertaining. If Big Bruv Gone Woke means going back to something like that and not casting the banana farm like they did in 2006 then I'm all for it. Some of the nastier elements of the show have aged and become much more uncomfortable as time has gone on. Last edited by Stu; 06-10-2023 at 08:31 AM. |

Look, I know the whole "But it's a social experiment!" thing was a bit of a broadsheet absolution, but looking back on it Big Brother was actually crazy wholesome by today's standards. Look at the best bits packages of any of the early years. Warts and all, but it really was a show about a bunch of people getting together and figuring stuff out. Kids don't realise what back to basics, classic Big Brother actually is |

It was kind of hilarious in hindsight even though we were all outraged at the time
