So C4 executives have decided to bring in a new housemate to replace Sandy, and it's happening live on BBLB on Sunday.
I was hoping they wouldn't be bringing in a new housemate. I suppose it will add new interest into the show, but it is now 3 weeks in and I think it is too late for the new person to bond with the rest of the group. They have all gone through too much together and a new person will be very much the outsider.
Also, if the Rich house/Poor house divide is still in place, where is the new housemate going to go? If he/she goes straight into the rich side of the house this could be deemed as unfair on the poor housemates, and if he/she goes into the poor side it would definitely be unfair on the new housemate. Whichever side the new housemate goes into it means that it will be even more difficult for them to get to know the other half of the house.
I think the only way for this to be feasible is for them to remove the divide. Please say that they are going to remove the divide.
