I thought the choice of housemates was decent, but not excellent, though it definitely could have been the best yet. There are half REALLY great housemates, and the other half are just self absorbed clones of each other.

Luke,Dennis,Mohamed and Kathreya are great characters, who are unique and have loads of depth to their personalities.

However, on the other hand we have Sylvia and Alexandra who LOOK the same and even have the same personalities .What exactly is the point of having them both in the house? Seems a bit pointless to me.

Then you have Jennifer,Stephanie,Sylvia (again),Alexandra (again), Rex,Dale and Lisa to a smaller extent who are pretty much carbon clones of each other. They're all shallow, and love themselves. They aren't very diverse at all. They could have had half of those people and it wouldn't have made any difference at all to the dynamics of the house.

I'd much rather see a house with a much more diverse bunch of characters! Failing that, I'd rather see less house mates and less evictions, but keeping the characters diverse.

I realize it's good to get some normal people in there, but there are definitely too many of the same types of people, and it spoils it a bit.

Big Brother got it half right half wrong this year. It could have been phenomenal had they lost 50% of the clones and replaced them with real characters. I can't see why they couldn't. I saw enough just during the audition show.
