You're right BB8 may not have had extreme characters but it had so many similar type of housemates. Chanelle, Charley, Shabnam, the Twins were all the glamour types looking for magazine deals.

You really need a good mix of people, BB5 had the perfect mix of quite over-the-top housemates like Ahmed, Nadia, Marco, Emma, Kitten but then it had more reserved yet still entertaining housemates like Shell, Vanessa, Michelle, Stuart, Dan. Then mixed with the game playing housemates Victor and Jason. Combined it made a brilliant series.
