No please no. Who is going to choose who goes in the house. You are likely to get a houseful of wannabees who want their fifteen minutes of fame but have no intention of coming off drugs permanently. People who seriously wish to come off drugs know that there is no short term fix to becoming clean.
I work with drug addicts on a regular basis in my drugs and the number who commit crimes to go on rehab whilst in prison is huges. But what happens when they are released, the dealers offer them freebies and they are so weak that they accept and within days they are back to where they have been in the past.
This is what I think would happen to the people on this show. Going cold turkey is not fun and it isnt nice - most of the contents of the show will have to be shown after 9.00pm. And five days - no-one comes anywhere near clean within five days. They think they had a huge fight in BB5, this lot could end up making that look like a bun fight.
Another case of reality tv reaching the lowest common denominator.
Sure help people come off drugs, but this is not going to help in the long-term.
