Ben Frow unhappy with BB15 casting
 

I'm glad he can see that BB15 was a mess.

for reals

bit worrying how more fun being wanted is mentioned though...hmm. We don't want a BB4.

And basically Tamara, Kimberly and Steven should not have been there.

I don't think the cast was even the problem, it was all production's fault IMO.

Good he thinks this, but I think the model/history in tv thing was the worst thing about this cast and not necessarily the business mentality of many of them

Yeah true

No use of having a brilliant cast next year if random twists are going to get them all evicted

The cast was the ultimate downfall of BB15. The launch appeared like a cheap The Apprentice, the weeks following it were all about bullying and even after that all we got were a vile, disgusting, deluded bunch that kept targeting 3 honest, caring and down-to-Earth housemates. It was like watching a year 8 class in high school, the bullies vs the nice ones.

The only week I enjoyed thoroughly was hurricane Toya week.

Production was a mess (apart from graphics, Emma presenting and the concept of the theme) too, but really the cast and constant twists were the main problems.

Cast and production were awful this year.

Many of the casual BB fans were put off straight away because of the lack of diversity and how they blatant wannabes. It was all over Twitter in both launch nights (mainly the first).

I'm really pleased with this actually, better than burying his head in the sand

Good more diversity next year plz

Less meddling would have made it a better series.

NO free pass and NO "killer" nomination.

I liked it at the start because it seemed most of them were quite clever. But it seems the only person you could have a decent conversation with would have been Matthew. Zoe and Mark to have a laugh with and that's it. The rest were either argumentative, paranoid, boring or only had fun if there was "alcohol".

I want a laugh. I want fun. I want people in there who need the money.

But you got to throw in 1 or 2 rich posh brats because they usually come over as entertaining.

'he doesn’t want the fifteen-year-old show to be the number one programme'

wtf? is he purposely sabotaging Big Brother then?

More fun won't make a BB4.

BB5 and 6 had huge heaps of fun and comedy. They had their drama and arguments but it wasn't relentless or without a huge heap of fun. That's what makes it different from the misery-fest that was BB15.

I don't know if I like the fact he doesn't want BB to be Channel 5's number 1 show. It reminds me of Channel 4 wanting to ditch it to go into a more creative direction as they were fed up with just being known for BB and American imports which is what Channel 5 has become.

I like this guy though hes very honest and doesn't drip feed us fans bull**** he actually answers our questions and how many other people will admit faults with their own Channel?

The cast was a lot better than BB14's

Truth

uhm giving helen pass to finals and jale the killer nomination.

if you didnt do those stupid twists that serie would be better. And bb14 was really horrible

I think you're in the minority of viewers who think that but a lot of people did get passionate about this years cast.

They were very love them or hate them....Actually I think it was just hate lol. Just thinking back to launch night and Twitter was going insane with the choice of housemates. Tweeters were not impressed.

A few of the BB15 cast I liked (aside from obviously Ashleigh, Chris and Christopher).. Biannca, Danielle, Matthew, Toya... All good, entertaining housemates, they just ended up in the wrong series imo.

Helen, Kimberly, Mark, Pauline and Steven ruined the series. The constant manipulation, twists, forgettable tasks and dodgy editing were just as bad. Production and casts stepped up a mark for BB14/CBB13, don't know why it all went downhill in the space of a few months.

BB14 was just right and a great cast on the whole. The tasks, while a bit 'samey' to old ones, were great and memorable, editing was better, the twists weren't every week and generally it felt like a good old 'classic' series.

He better recolonize that turd of a series along with it's winner.

Give us another Queen Gina and watch those ratings rise

Spot on, the production of this series with the endless twists and twists within twists ruined the series.

The meddling with noms and then even the eviction process too made matters worse for me.

Here for more fun, the focus on drama was boring this year :clap1:

I think he's got more to be unhappy with than the casting...
