Should the producers pick housemates with secrets
 

and then reveal the secrets to the rest of the housemates half way though the series
like in bb5, should they have just outed nadia for entertainment value

We all have secrets. Doesn't mean the world cares about them. So my answer is no.

Agreed.

:joker::joker::joker::joker::joker:

well good secrets obviously

Good secrets? Secrets are generally secrets because they are not good things. If you had people apply for this because they had secrets and wanted to share them, you'd end up with the kind of mess who appear on Jeremy Kyle and love to air their dirty laundry. Rather dull in my opinion.

:laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:

Stop posting your Real Word rubbish!
It's way off topic to BB, It has got nothing 2 do with it, you just see it as a way to advertise your rubbish show! Guess what we don't care about your show -_-

Good secret as in secret that will shock and make you think completely different about that person
a bad secret would be "i go and play bridge with my nan every saturday"
a good secret would be "i have sex with my nan every saturday"

My point being though that nobody really cares and that those willing to share such a sordid secret as that are better suited to Jeremy Kyle.

I don't get this whole need for sex, nudity, fighting and secrets. It seems like a way for people to fixate on 'entertaining' stuff because they have nothing going on in their own drab little lives.

People need to stop living so desperately for reality TV and start living in their own reality.

but without sex, nudity, fighting and secrets it just a load of people sat in a house, is it not?

everybody has secrets, so not really.

There is more to life than those things. Most people have a little more depth and substance than that, but alas we seem to be living in a time when people need to be spoon-fed their thoughts and opinions as it's much easier than thinking for themselves.

Dont you think what housemates have to say is far more interesting, complex and stimulating?

peoples secrets coming out and then them discussing it is what is interesting, complex and stimulating

how are secrets not depth?
if it comes out that someone is cutting themselves in the house and then they open up to the rest of the housemates about why they do it, how will that not be amazing.

They do that in France's version of BB, Secret Story, and it's rubbish - look at how bad most of the secrets are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Story_2011_(France)

They just need people with interesting personalities, not interesting backgrounds

I was referring mostly to nudity and sex. Even though it can be entertaining, we really dont need that to have a great series nor does that have to be the main appeal of the show.

A combination of both would be great :hugesmile:

That's true, an interesting personality can definitely entertain people, an interesting background won't necessarily do that.

-glares at Steve BB11-

The French Big Brother, is revolved around secrets, from each housemates. Its actualy called secret story!

Nadia did get outed when someone shouted over the wall :laugh:

Obviously the HM's acting like they didn't hear what was said though.

"..sex, nudity fighting and secrets." are my reality :hugesmile:.
