Cant believe people are moaning about the new cast! SPOLIERS
 

If you go on FB every person is saying why are there no normal people!!!! Too many celebs.

There are loads of normal people with normal jobs in the cast:

Fast food manager
Cafe girl
local councillor

etc.

There all normal jobs

3 models, 2 musicians, a few of them know "celebs", have been on TV before. Yes so many normal everyday people.

(for someone trying to avoid the cast [for my sins], I'd rather not see a thread title saying how everybody on here dislikes it. That doesn't fill me with hope for Tuesday)

I don't care what they do as long as they're decent housemates

I agree - I really don't care if they're normal people or not that much as long as they're entertaining. Back in the Channel 4 days there was still housemates who weren't very normal - Nikki for one had been on TV before.

What everyone needs to ask themselves are 'normal people' willing to spend 10 weeks out of work and on a TVs show?

I'm a little disappointed that a lot of them are connected in some way to 'celebrity' but I'm not going to judge them until I see them in the house. If they're entertaining then that's all that matters.

about 5 housemates are not really normal, but a lot them are.

Yeah it's getting quite annoying tbh. To me it feels like towie/the hills 2.0 and not big brother

Even though the cast looks great i prefer normal people with no tv/media background

That's very true - also added to the fact Big Brother now generally kills potential careers in media and doesn't open doors probably means only these type of people want to go on.

There's 5 who I would consider normal people - the rest have been on TV/are models ect.

Chloe, Joel, Nick, Harriet and Sarah are the ones I think are 'normal'.

I don't really care about the status of the HMs. It's about entertainment.

All I'm seeing on twitter & Fb is people moaning about how disappointed they are. Give them a chance to actually get in the house people!

On the plus side, early launch of HMs did the job. People are talking.

Tbh

The normal ones I think are:

Chloe
Harriet
Jack
Jade
Joel
Kieran
Sarah
Nick
Simon

There the ones that probably auctioned

I agree with this

Simon is a Nasty Vile Fame Hungry Cretin

I bet he auditioned though

Tbh this is the most 'normal' set of housemates we've had since BB13 imo. The facebook crowd honestly annoy me so much with their "I thought this was normal bb xo" crap

exactly!

We live in an age of zelebrity - thanks to Big Brother. The show is just attracting the same kind of people who've exploited the different avenues of fame that 15 years of reality television and a decade of social media have made so easily available.

This is one of the most normal series ever.

Firstly, all the people that have hinted they are models, are not actually only models. They do it on the side, they have other occupations. Lets look for example...

Chloe- Office Admin
Christian- Currently a Science university student (who raps, swims and does modelling on the side)
Danny- Demolition Man
Keiran- Self employed (so it's something hands on like gardening, builder etc...)
Joel- Councillor
Adjoa- Student
Nick- No qualifications, maybe (but not sure), he is unemployed as it doesn't say anything
Harriet- Works in a café
Aaron- Personal shopper and beauty therapist

It doesn't get more "civilian" than that. And that's only the ones that we know of. The others may also have "normal" jobs.

spot on, the people commenting on FB want people on benefits because thats probably what there on.

Yes, it was the original remit of the show :/

Yes but times change BB is not the phenom it use to be

Anyone know which party Joel represents? I'm just curious. He lives in Cardiff so I'd assume Plaid Cymru or Labour but I don't know where to check lol
