I think the thing is though, Zizu, there was a good range of people from different backgrounds, cultures and other aspects of society, and part of what makes it enjoyable is having characters that we dislike as well as those we love.
Thinking about this, perhaps another criticism I would make of this series is that housemates were very clearly edited to fulfil certain stereotypes and narratives within the house, and therefore many became quite one-dimensional to the viewing public, rather than the fully rounded individuals that all people are. Personally, I think this makes us less invested as viewers, as housemates can seem very surface-level and superficial.
It always amazes me how different some of the housemates are during interviews and in their highlights, to the characters presented by the edits. Even on live feed so much is hidden from us or censored through the bird sounds.
