I agree with some of what the OP has said, but disagree with most of it. In fact I agree with most of what Smeggy said about the post.

And as for Carole's book, I don't think she's allowed to write about what happens her in the BB house. IIRC Germaine Greer had some similar restriction on what she could write about (and mentioned it recently on BBLB) so I'd imagine Carole is under something similar. I'd say Carole was put in cos she's an opinionated, assertive woman and the public usually hate someone like that so it makes good viewing.

And the OP wasn't sure why Chloe was in there. Both her and Dirk were the only housemates asked whether they were single or not by Davina on the first night, so I'm guessing she was put in as the possible love target for Dirk. He's gone for Shilpa now, so thats that plan out the window (although there's still plenty of time!!). Plus Chloe is a little eccentric and very extrovert which is always good TV!
