But, this can still be salvaged. A shorter season means the HMs have to be broken earlier so we can see who they really are beneath the fake shell... If it's boring it's because they are being allowed to cruise through it unchallenged and that's on the production team.

It's a holiday camp in there right now. But with less booze.
…absolutely, the only thing really that none of them are savvy to is the blend of housemate personalities they’ll be sharing with…so the BB housemate experience can still..(…to some extent…)…go either way of making or breaking them……but as Simon Cowell would say, in terms of career advancement etc…?…no publicity is bad publicity…for the occasional few, yes …but no for most…Lord, poor Nasty Nick…he really had to go through it back in the day….

….I like to see those divides of rich/poor etc…I like to see the housemates trying to get their treats on the shopping list while making the math work as well…and most of all I like basic shopping budget porridge and rice every day …also we never see them without their cigarettes and prepared to sell their grandparents to BB for one little drag of a ciggie…

…it’s a different beast really for us oldies but then we try to discuss and dissect in the same way as old school BB/24 hour livefeed etc…and it’s just a struggle to get those things to gel sometimes with the new style…
