IMO the reason is that the HM are not excited to be there. When they were in their BBs, being on BB was one, if not the best thing that had ever happened to them and it showed. They were full of life and unafraid to do anything. However, now they have all had success of different degrees, it doesn't offer them the excitement it did and it comes across. Even Brian said yesterday how many days do we have left 9 - it will seem like 9 months. In BB2 he couldn't get enough of it.
When HM come out of BB they usually say they will miss it and love being in there. I can't see that happening this year.
Whereas when they were in their BBs, they knew they would come out to possibilities they could only dream of - even if it is just doing a PA at a club. Many of them would never ever have had that in their ordinary life. Now what will they get - a bit more TV exposure, a few more mag deals but it won't significantly change their life. Only one can win. Whereas everyone wins if they want to from their BB, because their lives are transformed with opportunities.
To me they are all to cautious other than Nadia. They are trying not to stand out too much so they survive as long as possible. I think it is also a consequence of post-Jade BB. HM are very afraid of doing anything much whereas when they were in their BB they didn't care.
I am enjoying the farewell to BB to some extent, but it is going out with a whimper rather than a bang. The ratings and even the volume of comments on this forum compared to BB11 show it. It is time to say goodbye.
