Did they deliver on the "diverse" side of things?

[Jake.]

Obviously the cast nowadays is never going to be spot on, but how'd you think they did??

[Good King Glennceslas]

Great mix I think.

[Drew.]

If Andrew had gone on then yes

[reece(:]

3 lads is the only downside when they could've had NI/Scots.

[HBIC]

Not really.

Where are the LGBT housemates? Usually BBUK is really good about their representation but not this year.

[Braden]

**** tbh.

Edit: oh, read the title wrong. I think in terms of diversity it's okay, but I'm more the person who doesn't care unless they're good for the show.

[Firewire]

Not really.

Raph is gay

Miss Korine

[Jason.]

It's alright.

Kayleigh, Ellie and Chanelle are practically the same person, as are Tom, Lotan and Kieran. But other than that everyone else could add something different.

[Greg!]

It's kind of diverse but WHERE are the gays and Scots.

[andybigbro]

Picking Andrew could have killed two birds with one stone but ohwell

[Withano]

Its good. I'd like to swap out two under 30s for two over 40s though

[Greg!]

Ikr! Hopefully someone will walk and he'll take their place

[Good King Glennceslas]

Isn't it a little insulting to put someone in the house just because they're gay?

[reece(:]

Here for it

[lewis111]

Yet again a lot of young typical Geordie shore type people

They think they can chuck in 2 over 40s and a Muslim and call it diverse
I want like BB10 diverse

A FEW not from the UK
More members of LGBT
At least one Scottish
More stronger religious/anti-Religious views


Yes some of them are great in terms of diversity but the majority of the are the same person

[BBDodge]

The Muslim/Sikh pairing was pretty much it.

5 Housemates from Yorkshire and none from Scotland/Ireland?

[Denver]

Did he say he was gay or you assuming because he is camp?

[Greg!]

Hon he's quite clearly gay.

[armand.kay]

Where are the gays? trash!

[Samm]

Isn't it a little insulting to put someone in the house just because they're gay?

no

[waterhog]

for anyone to ask this question tells me - they are not happy with the mix ?


great mix and I think we all need to stop analysing what has been chosen now and get on with the show.

[chuff me dizzy]

Needed another couple of older hm8s IMO

[thesheriff443]

No, you could get a better mix from half a tube carriage in London at rush hour.

[Rob!]

3 lads is the only downside when they could've had NI/Scots.

This

[Smithy]

People saying where are the gays are obviously just assuming because there's no stereotypical screaming flamer that there's no gays, Raph is gay, great jobs championing diversity yourself guys :clap1:

[Amy Jade]

I wish Sue had gone in.

I would have liked someone from Ireland and Scotland too and a few more older housemates.

The detective couple should have been a pair of older housemates.

[Nicky91]

Yes, TeamIndia and TeamNigeria :D

[LemonJam]

It was a bit forced and not really a good effort. When they have to repeatedly state on the program how lovely it is to have a muslim and a sikh on the show it becomes very on the nose

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Wll, it's much better than the bunch of reality tv rejects they usually have on. :laugh:

[y.winter]

I'm quite happy with the mix, personality wise I think it might work (and I was actually more satisfied than when I've been to BB17 launch).
The non housemates could've been an improvement though... But we got generic Tom instead....

[Cal.]

I wanted some messy gays but oh well :(

[Cal.]

We want the messy camp ones though.

[irishdave]

It could have been a lot more diverse but fingers crossed the series will do ok
