You haven't seen a single second of any of them in the house, how on earth can you pass that kind of judgement :unsure:

Da'Vonne/Shelli/Becky/Vanessa were all birthed last season though? Like I swear all four were better than any BBUK housemates last year.

Also Jackie, Liz & Julia, Meg, James... even Clay....

Well so were Survivors Cook Islands and Fiji and they both kinda sucked donkey balls? Diversity by itself doesn't equal a good cast and I don't know how many times I need to stress that

Braden 22-06-2016 03:50 PM

The cast is diverse in some ways, but it really isn't in other ways. The age demographic is the same bar one person (I forget James and Frank's ages).

calm down then and don't stress about it. If I want to give an opinion on a cast which I find brilliant and find it better than the others then I can. It's not a rule

Yeah, when this show continues to cast the same good looking 20-something mactors, it doesn't make much of a difference if a couple of them are Latino or not

I think his main point is that you're saying someone did a great job on casting purely based on superficial reasons (or that's what it sounds like) when a good cast kind of goes beyond that.

I do understand your side though because there is diversity where past seasons have lacked, which is quite impressive for this show.

This... doesn't seem that diverse in comparison to any other series

But most people are praising Robyn for the same reasons and diverse is actually great for a show imo which why I'm praising it. Robyn gets loads of tweets pre-show on how amazing she has done. My comment is basically the same. It's not really something to get stressed about, it's only an opinion and it's silly to kick up a fuss over it (not at you)

The cast has actually made me more excited to watch them in action and I find it intriguing. I've been wanting this type of casting for some time now and I'm really happy it has happened. nothing wrong with that.

Stick to what this thread is for please, and not discussing flops like Crap'Vonne

idk, like yeah Audrey was great but the two or three weeks after she was evicted were some of the best in BBUS history with the Jason eviction and the aftermath of that.

It's ok if we disagree... we usually do and I am ok with that...

Just don't accuse me of posing or being edgy for my opinion... We both seem to watch the same shows but have different reasons for finding them interesting... it's a good thing!

Yeah, I definitely know that but I think people willl find it odd that someone will say that she's done a good job at casting when we're not even aware of what's happening :laugh: But I do understand your point, and I definitely agree with your second paragraph.

Are these "most people" just random people you follow and retweet on Twitter because I doubt your sample is very representative of the general BBUS viewership.

And yeah, I agree with MB and Braden and everyone else saying that this group still looks like a cookie cutter BBUS cast. The fact that they have various skin colors doesn't make them any better or worse, it all boils down to the chemistry they have and the stuff that actually happens on the show.

At least you do understand unlike some but it's an issue because I said it.

looking forward to discuss BBUS with you because I know it will be sensible

Samm 22-06-2016 04:30 PM

I would of probably liked BB17, if I stuck to it

Macie Lightfoot 22-06-2016 04:31 PM

never too late to go back and rewatch hun...x

Samm 22-06-2016 04:34 PM

I find it hard to rewatch or even watch BBUS seasons post BB11, I'll try to stick with this season!

Macie Lightfoot 22-06-2016 04:42 PM

true, the episodes themselves are pretty ****e so it would be a Herculean feat to rewatch a season without the feeds.

Here's to another summer of scripted DRs, useless Competitions, and random segments for production's favorites!

was it feeds that made BB17 entertaining??

I can't access them from Canada so maybe that's why I was bored

Macie Lightfoot 22-06-2016 04:48 PM

Mhmm, the feeds were great and the cast was really dynamic so it made for never a dull moment. You had Audrey's entire existence drive the first month, then the next few weeks dealt with the Dark Moon deal and the aftermath (easily the best three weeks of BBUS since BB13, if not BB11), and then we were able to ride Vanessa's insanity and emotional blackmail all the way to the end.
