God no, but I do wonder if BB8 would have been a different story if it had started out all with blokes.

Ultimately though BB8 failed due to the casting - the women were virtually clones of each other, barely out of school (with the obvious exceptions), while the blokes were just all a bit wet. I do think if it had started with BB9's much stronger female line up it might have made more interesting TV.


Really though this is one instance where it's clear the Elstree house just wasn't big enough to do the show justice. I'm absolutely certain that if they'd had the space the twist that year would have been two houses, with men in the one and women in the other.
