Has There Ever Been A Worse Selection Of Housemates?

[alc09]

This lot is awful, I can't remember any BB being as bad as this.

A shocking line up, what the **** were the producers thinking?

Us lot on here would have picked a better lot off the back of the pictures on the Channel 4 site, absolutely rubbish.

I'm giving it another week, I hope it will improve but new faces are needed.

[iRyan]

I agree.

In my opinion, the only good casting decisions were Shabby, Ben, Sunshine, Rachael, Corin and John James. They rest just makes me think 'what in the hell were the producers thinking?'.

[ILoveTRW]

BB4 and BB9 were pretty terrible

[Angus]

Just posted on another thread that they need to put some new HMs in NOW. If Ben wasn't in it I wouldn't be watching at all.

[Raph]

It's AMAZING in comparison to BB10.. where boring Hira was the only half decent one.

[alc09]

BB4 and BB9 were pretty terrible
Not this bad, though?

Awful bunch.

[ILoveTRW]

are you being serious?

[Marsh.]

Well you can't exactly say how entertaining someone's gonna be until they're in there. It's pot luck. Sometimes you hit a winner, sometimes you don't.

This years bunch is a hell of a lot better than BB4, BB8 and the majority of BB10 though.

[InOne]

Some have potential. But not feeling it at the moment :(

[alc09]

I agree.

I agree with that.

As nice as Steve, Ife, Caoimhe, Josie, Nathan and Mario may be, what are they in the house for?

[skkc16]

I agree we need new blood asap otherwise ratings are gonna drop massively.... I miss rachael :L

[alc09]

Haha she is the worst HM of all time.

[starry]

Sunshine, Shabby, Ben, Govan...then ....erm..maybe John are worthwhile. You always get some bores at the start but they need to leave in the earlier weeks like in BB7.

[MeMyselfAndI]

BB10 had amazing HMs

it had
Sophie (Hilarious Bubbly fun! a FUn winner - entertaining
Freddie (amazing HM just brilliant)
Bea (a big brother bitch who was great and was a great HM for this!)
Angel (weirdo but is needed for BB i hated her but good HM)
Sree (same as Angel)
Siavash (irratating but entertaining)
Lisa - vile horrible must disgusting woman who everyone hated - (which made a good HM)
Noirin who went around slagging with others (i hated her but amazing HM)
Marucs who was vile and sickeinging
Rodrigo - i loved Roddy he was so hilarious with his tantrems u always need someone with tantrems
Charlie - some say fake some say not but bubbly he was a good HM


there were loads of releationships
Charlie + Rod
Sophie + Kris
Noirin + everyone etc

On July new people are entering, on Week 6 there's ment to be a twist, This series is ment to have alot of twists, on the final 2 weeks all the old Housemates are returning.

Plenty to stay tuned for.

And to answer your question mate, indeed there has been a worst selection of housemates..

[skkc16]

Haha she is the worst HM of all time.

ha ha I agree she was kinda like a quite version of SS always singing badly her HL was probably that entertaining thingy she did (which I didn't find entertaining tbh)

[Jack_]

Yep. Worst cast yet, without a doubt.

And sadly the small number of housemates from this cast that had/have any ****ing potential are being picked off one by one by the completely deluded voting public.

[InOne]

Wish people would stop comparing BB's. This is here and now.

[Braden]

Caiomhe seemed like such a good housemate from her VT, hasn't really shown much of what she said in her VT in the house though :|

[Raph]

I personally found BB10 really boring. Only really watched about 4 weeks of it in total, on and off.. but that's also because it looked SO bad after BB9, and the house was terrible. At least the house is epic this year, and frankly I love the housemates too, in comparison to the ones from last year.

Yep, you can actually understand why more or less every HM from that series (bar Hira) was put in.

[Marsh.]

I agree this serie isn't quite up there with some of the best but i wish people would stop going on about how Rachael shouldn't have gone and they miss her.
She was a boring, stereotypical wannabe HM that wasn't needed.

It's like all the Steph lovers from BB9, boring housemate yet everyone was up in arms about her going.

[_Seth]

BB8 was worse... and apparently BB4, but I never watched pre-BB5.

[alc09]

Patrick - I see where you are coming from but it shouldn't take the producers 6 weeks to sort out their own **** up. A huge **** up too.

I'll be watching the 'all star' show, that's for sure. But won't be watching this for much longer if it carries on the way it is going.

Your having a laugh. BB9 was a mess.

[iRyan]

Though, even Hira was funny and entertaining at times.

But I agree, after the epicness of BB10, this series sucks in comparison.

But I am hoping things will maybe change when new hms come in.

[Jack_]

They got the BB10 cast absolutely spot on, infact I'd say it's one of my favourite casts ever.

Diverse, interesting, and bar Hira, all added something to the show. Extremely underrated series.

And it just goes to show that at the end of the day casting is everything. The production was sh!t last year, but a brilliant cast made for a brilliant series. This year the production is good - but the housemates are crap - and so far, it's making for an absolutely appauling series. Disappointing.

[Raph]

Your having a laugh. BB9 was a mess.

Never going to agree with that. Great housemates (Rex, Darnell, Cookie Kat, Luke, Bex), really fancy and fun house, wicked Diary room chair, and a close family friend, Rachel, crowned the winner. Now that, is a legendary series.

[*mazedsalv**]

BB10 is worse than BB11. BB4 and BB8 were also worse than BB11.

BB11 is great IMO... the negativity is getting too much.

Last paragraph is very true. Lets hope it gets sorted out.

[Vladimir]

agreed. i'm really enjoying this series.

Mazed, please can you explain why you think this series is great?

agreed 110% :thumbs:

[Patrick]

Your having a laugh. BB9 was a mess.

No it wasn't.
Infact, if BB9 was the last series it would of went out in a massive bang, well maybe not since Rachel won but yeah that series was brilliant.

[ILoveTRW]

No it wasn't.

At the end of the day the reason why I hate BB9 so much is because of BBlock. If everyone in the house had of been like Alex, Luke, Bex and Sylvia then we would of had a great series

[stonedape]

I don't think the series is particularly great so far, but it's definitely not their worst cast out of the gate. A little different, all quirk and no sex appeal. Since BB6 though I've pretty much hated 100% of the cast going in and had to let them all grow on me over time. BB11 is no exception. It's not the worst, but 95% of posters here could do a better job casting.

[ILoveTRW]

For me the only thing BB10 was missing was great tasks (but then again so has every series since BB7). It had everything, and although Hira may of been boring she still did contributed a little bit, well at least more than Steve, Nathan, Iffy, Dave, and Ciaomhe

[*mazedsalv**]

Mazed, please can you explain why you think this series is great?

I like the housemates, LF shows us great fun moments, shame that the Hls miss them out.
Tasks are generall good, like yesterdays penalty shootout task, the sticking people up task and todays puppet task etc...

My names Salv by the way.

[Maia]

The BB8 lot were a shoddy bunch, I barely had a favourite or even cared. This year's lot have also been quite poor so far. We need some new housemates - fast.

It seems some are easily pleased.

A puppet task?! Really? :joker:

[Jack_]

Oh, and another thing, I keep saying it but it's because it's true.

The problem this year is that the amount of dullards is far, far too much. In the past we've only had to put up with a couple (Hira, Rachel, Susie to name a few)...and they have just flew under the radar and the larger characters have shone. But that's not the case this year. Far too many dullards and so there is **** all to watch.

Last year proved that ten years on, BB still had the legs to continue. This year proves why Big Brother is coming to an end.

Even the supposed entertaining ones like Shabby are pretty dull really.

[BB_Eye]

In the past week it's gone from being sub-BB8 to being just as good as BB10... not that that is saying much.

[Jack_]

Even the supposed entertaining ones like Shabby are pretty dull really.

Oh yeah there's no doubting that. I still think all my 'favourites' are pretty ****e housemates - they all are. But the way I see it is either they stay or we are left with Ife, Dave, Steve, Mario, Josie, Sunshine and some of the other dullards whose names I can't even remember, to all get on with each other. And that definitely will be sh!t.

[*mazedsalv**]

It seems some are easily pleased.

Its VERY funny. I think the puppet task is genius, brings out personalites certainkly brought out Steves...

It reminded me of the Box Task when they were arguing and you could only see the pics of the HMs, because when they were talking the cameraman only focussed on the puppets.

JJ and SS smooching was so funny.

[InOne]

I did think JJ would be good, but just seen him cry too many times. Think he'd break down in a real argument.

[iRyan]

At the end of the day the reason why I hate BB9 so much is because of BBlock. If everyone in the house had of been like Alex, Luke, Bex and Sylvia then we would of had a great series

I agree. People like Rachel, Darnell, Kathreya, Mo, Stuart, Dale, etc. are what ruined the season for me. I found them so unbelievably annoying that it became unbearable to watch towards the end. Thank god for Sara, Lisa, and Rex at the end cuz they were the ones who kept me watching.

But even in BB9 they still had great housemates that made up for the ****ty ones. And even the most entertaining ones this season aren't even that great. If you put Sunshine, Ben, or Shabby in BB10, BB7, or BB6 they would fade into the background compared to the rest of the cast and no one would find them entertaining in comparison to Nikki, Makosi, or Marcus.

[BB_Eye]

It seems some are easily pleased.

A puppet task?! Really? :joker:

Last year was utterly appalling on the tasks front (the I'm a Celeb style eyeball eating task being the worst of all) so anything looks good in comparison for some people I guess.

[Jack_]

It's just his rants that made me laugh.

And if Rachael had stayed, the storyline between him and her would've developed and got more intense, if you ask me.

Once the house divide is torn apart (which is currently happening) - we are ****ed. It's as simple as that.

Rachael leaving really ****ed this season up. Things were actually getting good until she left.

I'd like to see Mario Dave and Ben go really. They are rubbish.

[iRyan]

This is why new housemates coming in is the only thing that could potentially save this season.

[Jack_]

I'd like to see Mario Dave and Ben go really. They are rubbish.

Mario and Dave, yeah, because then Ben would be left to fight his own battles.

And he's practically the leader of his 'group' anyway - so if he left that group would not exist anymore and the house divide would fall apart.

[*mazedsalv**]

New HMs are coming in anyways, i hope one of them is my cousin!!!! Grrrr

[starry]

If you put Sunshine, Ben, or Shabby in BB10, BB7, or BB6 they would fade into the background compared to the rest of the cast and no one would find them entertaining in comparison to Nikki, Makosi, or Marcus.

You don't know that for certain, and really I always found Nikki just too annoying anyway.

[Jack_]

Rachael leaving really ****ed this season up. Things were actually getting good until she left.

Aye.

[iRyan]

You don't know that for certain, and really I always found Nikki just too annoying anyway.

Well it's obvious considering they are MILES more entertaining than this bunch. Even if you found Nikki annoying she is still one of the most entertaining housemates to ever be on BB, and there's no denying that. She is a legend.

[iRyan]

I knew they should've just made this series an all-star one the whole way through. It would be way better than this crap.

[stonedape]

I knew they should've just made this series an all-star one the whole way through. It would be way better than this crap.

100% Agreed....now I'm afraid both will be unfulfilling, only getting a couple weeks with HMs we actually want to see.

[*mazedsalv**]

Well Crspgate looks interesting tonight with Nathan calling SS "rank spoilt little bitch" :shocked:

Spot on.

It's highly distressing to think of how an entire team of people who get money thrown at them to sit around a table and match up strangers could do such an incredibly bad job at the casting. BB11's housemates feel like they only form what should be half of the overall cast. I even said that on launch. It's like they got a dozen reasonably good housemates, took two thirds out, and - with intent - put in the dullest ones they could find.

Nothing simply clicks this year. The final BB should have been an absoloute onslaught of endless twists, tasks and mentally draining psychological mind tricks from the start. Viewers don't get hooked by red and yellow flags outside the house. They get hooked by things being bigger, louder, and somewhat different but with the classic formula intact. This show should have been designed to rope in lost viewers. Why the hell would I watch this series if I have not followed it in recent years? Give me a reason. I dare you. Instead it's following 2007 and it's formula of putting a dim bunch of people in ~whacky costumes in the hope that one of them might fart or fall over or something.

Look at how effortlessly Endemol ballsed up the mole task. I defy anyone to attempt to defend that piece of ****. It should have been a week long saga of betrayal and tears. Instead it was a weekend of a gay bloke dressed as a mole knocking some cereal and pizza on the kitchen floor.

Yeah? Really? **** you, Endemol.

[InOne]

If you have seen the pentalty task, that is a load of bollocks too!

[Barbie]

At the moment

Steven, Nathan, Caihome and Dave seem really pointless Caihome has the Shabby storyline but then thats more Shabby.

Completely true.

I just don't get why they care so much about potential controversies anymore. Infact, a controversy would rope in a **** load of viewers. There should be unlimited alcohol, tasks/twists designed to piss with their brains and emotionally and psychologically **** them up, housemates that'd rub each other up the wrong way, etc etc. They shouldn't care what anyone has to say anymore - the show is ending. I'd rather see it go out with an almighy bang than some half-arsed attempt.

[Stu]

Just for the record ... is anyone reading this thread supporting oh let's say ... Caiomhe ... to win and is prepared to defend her existence on a prime time television show?

I'm genuinly interested in hearing views supporting her inclusion on the show. Because I can't think of a single one.

[ILoveTRW]

Im so glad everyone loves BB10, I remember last year being the only one saying that it was an epic series.

[Wildcat!]

I am baffled by how ugly the girsl are this year! Probably due to the random picks! But the only girl I thought was attractive, was Rachel, and she is gone. The rest, all fell off the ugly tree.

New faces are a must have soon, this series is ok but it all seems too petty and hence boring.

[boozy]

id rather be watching the usa bb or even the german one even though i couldnt understand it because anything has to be better than this lot moaning about crisps for gods sake!!:sleep:
