Where's the diversity?

[iRyan]

It's all attractive white people in their 20s so far :conf: Really C5?

[Marsh.]

BB6 was all 20 something black people. It was epic.

BB6 was all 20 something black people. It was epic.

BB6 was the most diverse cast ever and the best series ever

BB12 was the least diverse cast ever and one of the worst series ever

Says something

[reece(:]

Not enough freaks and oldies

[Jarvio]

They should have put in 10 fat bastards

[Daniel.]

I want trwainwrecks

[Headie]

Exactly. So far we have about 8 white 23 year olds.

Of course they'll be the mandatory one black HM :bored:

[Jordan.]

Agreed. I can see what they're going for with the ruthless business types though.

[Jake.]

It's been an hour and we've seen a minute of each housemate, their age/job doesn't matter so I'm reserving judgment

Like The Apprentice Reunion?

[Raph]

What an awful lineup, it's been the least exciting launch ever. I miss bb14 already :(

[Lostie!]

I'm the opposite. BB14's felt flat for me, I'm loving tonight.

[Seanbon]

All young and good looking,and not afraid to voice an opinion!! Gina/Dexter clones,as predicted at the end of last year's series!?!

[Seanbon]

I stand corrected!!

[alex_front2]

Black older poor woman, can't have a young smart black woman can we.

[Seanbon]

Black older poor woman, can't have a young smart black woman can we.

:thumbs:Saved them putting 3 hm's in?!?

[Alf]

It's just ten human beings to me.

[Sophiee]

I hope there'll be some different types of people tomorrow. the only one that stands out as being different is pauline, the rest are models or business men :suspect:.

[letmein]

A house full of pricks and Pauline.

[ruiphillips]

Diversity doesn't make for entertaining housemates.

[Northern Monkey]

Why's it matter what colour they are??They're just people.

[Ichi_Bear]

The line up is weak this year. And then Aunty Pauline rolled in. Lol 😂

[armand.kay]

Why are c5 housemates all white with two token blacks. One male, one female.

[reece(:]

not enough Asians

[Bluerang1]

I want trwainwrecks

x2

[armand.kay]

not enough Asians

When most the Asian housemates they've had have been fab.

[-Sue-]

says a lot when a gazillion 20 somethings all preened poshed up from head to toe all harping on about how wonderful they all are.. and suddenly out of the wings comes pauline a clearly fun loving full of beans woman and suddenly the viewing public have their fave.. (says a lot that viewers want more than just face like a colouring book tits out for the lads/tanned toned men- none of which have a personality or fun bone in their body) we want a summer of fun not a summer iof watching people check their hair,,!

[Drew.]

Similar ages but i don't think any of them have similar personalities.. i'm sure we'll get a few different characters in tomorrow.

[uniquedude]

Diversity is important to make a good series bb6 was diverse but I dont think it was ethnic diversity that made it good but actually they put in a lot of smart people not typical 20 somethings who werent straight up bitches but more subtle, less brovado. Someone like Queen Makosi. When someone says they are ruthless and are the biggest bitch going I'd immediately discount them as a producer

[daniel-lewis-1985]

BB6 was all 20 something black people. It was epic.

Marsh I worry of your opinions lately lol. BB6 had a very very diverse cast.

[Loukas]

Diversity doesn't make for entertaining housemates.

i would disagree. Having a diverse cast makes for what i find, interesting conversations, reactions and opinions. With this cast alot of them could talk about business cause thats alot of their strong points. Right now i don't hate this cast but i don't like them either, they need a loud mouth or 2, someone who's kooky, a really young character that has no idea about life yet and just wants a good experience and someone who's older than all of them in there!

[Raph]

not enough Asians

this.

[Vicky.]

I'm hoping for a few older/freakish housemates tomorrow. Colour doesn't bother me at all, but we need some different personality types as they do seem pretty much the same.

[kevvylflynn]

I agree,

i have noticed ever since BB moved to C5 it has got much less diverse.

I think BB 6 and BB 10 were by far the most diverse years.

But in saying that, most of the BB series on C4 were relatively diverse.

[Marsh.]

Marsh I worry of your opinions lately lol. BB6 had a very very diverse cast.

I'm talking about age diversity. BB6 was very samey with the demographic aside from Derek and Roberto.

Keep up my dear.

So, whether the house is full up with people all around the age of 23 might be a very "samey" house or, like BB6, show it doesn't make a difference to the variety of personalities.

[jyunga]

All the VTs kinda made me think of Harry. When he first went in the house I thought he'd end up a horrible housemate and be gone first week but then he grew on me and i liked him. I think a lot of these people will end up different then their VTs and they'll seem a lot more diversity in the next week.

[Josy]

We still have 6 more to come so.......

[Jords]

Diversity to come it seems dont worry.

I agree with this. I rolled my eyes every time another VT started and the word 'model' was used. I would love to see a BB launch night where nobody was a model.

This. 100%

It remains to be seen if any of these people have personalities but judging by what I've seen so far, it doesn't look good.

[Semtex]

Diversity for you.

[Withano]

They literally put the same person in 9 times and then finished with Paulie who fair play seems great

[lily.]

That's what I was thinking Withano..

ps. Haven't seen you in a while.. Good to see you. :)

[andybigbro]

I think it's quite diverse

Scottish
Northern Irish
English
American


All we need is someone from Ireland & Wales tonight :p

[Turtle]

We need a black deaf Welshman in a wheelchair called 'Weelz'.

[Niamh.]

I don't mind it, i think it'll be interesting to see how all these big egos form some sort of pecking order and it's part of the theme so :shrug:

You forgot Scouse...

[flamingGalah!]

The 6 going in tonight could all be black, asian, chinese, lebanese, dirty knees, look at these... But they could all be extremely dull. Does it really matter what ethnic background a housemate has?? I would rather have a house full of interesting white 20 somethings, than a mix of ages/ethnicities who are boring...

[Strictly Jake]

I think they wanted people who are power hungry and independent that won't cling to anyone else they will all be in it for themselves but without any tasks or twists going on I can see them being dull. I hate being negative bit I am a tad disappointed

[Razor]

Looks like they rounded up a group of people from a swanky bar in town and dropped them off at the bb studio. Everyone bar Pauline that is.

[Marsh.]

I don't mind it, i think it'll be interesting to see how all these big egos form some sort of pecking order and it's part of the theme so :shrug:

Yeah, it's easy to see who will be a bigger character than another, putting in a load of similar larger ego people makes it a bit more interesting as to who will come out on top (hopefully not sexually :umm2:).

[Niamh.]

:laugh:

Will be interesting to see what they do tonight, whether or not they're going to stick with the theme of hm we saw last night or throw some wild cards into the mix

[Marsh.]

I hope we see some crazies to bring the snob in them out.

But then I also want to see what the voting public does if the entire lineup is a "villain" type of housemate. :laugh:

Well, then you'll have bloody Winston winning I guess :/

Not here for this.

:love: thanks! I won't be around this series, travelling a lot this summer, doesn't look like the worst series to miss so far anyway, hoping the next 6 housemates aren't horrific for the sake of the show
