CBB still pulls together a better list than this and it has 3x less viewers and about 8 more series

Don't get why CBB isn't as much of a hit with ratings tbh

Not to impressed with this line up

There won't be much drama that's for sure

it needs the GC

I'm A Celebrity's casts are always the same and have been for years now.

They like to tick certain boxes with their choices. There's always a couple of soap stars, an athlete, an unknown politician for early-boot fodder, a has-been that was last relevant in the 80s and someone from TOWIE or MIC.

At least CBB mix it up a little and don't rely on the same type of people.

.

It's one of the most repetitive reality shows overall too, it's the exact same thing every year with the only changes being minor.

DOI cast seemed to be bad then you look at this :skull:

.

Deathly dull. 2015 managed to be great because they unintentionally cast a great in Lady C but even she was just one of their pretentious choices and an accident.

It literally must have the biggest budget out of CBB/DOI/SCD etc. I don't get how it manages the worst line ups. Something is seriously wrong with the casting team. So pretentious.

Although I'm shocked they haven't cast a Vicky/Ferne/Scarlett type this year who will do extremely well and give the show a year of free promo through endorsements and television roles. Toff hasn't got the personality and Rebekah is destined to appear on Channel 5 documentaries for the rest of her telly career.

They always go for bigger and respectable names, in fitting with their whole "classy family show" image. Their mantra is pretty much the more expensive and well-known a celebrity is, the better they'll be and that's rarely ever the case as CBB has proved that the cheaper, lesser-known names are often much better value, entertainment wise.

This too.

It's beyond stale.

However, the public don't like change. I'm A Celebrity and The Apprentice are the only two reality shows that still retain their high ratings and neither of them have really changed much throughout their run.

Whereas BB and XF shake things up every year, or try to rather, even if it's for the worse, they still make somewhat of an effort and they both rate a fraction of what they used to in their respective peaks.

Hoping fizz is the trouble maker in camp

Idk about Drama but I’d say fame wise it’s definately better than last year, seems like it’ll be a more wntertaining cast imo as well. Won’t beat 2014/2015 though ;( was hoping Koo Stark would be the new Lady C

Here for Jamie Lomas getting into a showmance with Jennie McAlpine to get Kym Marsh seething in her magazine column.

I think she in marbayer
