Like, the "times have changed" excuse (which C5 sure love throwing about to justify the lack of things) cannot be used for not having open auditions as other shows like XF still do them and it was only 3 years ago when BB still had them. With whatever audition process we have now, it just ensures stereotypical token people are chosen each year, like the gay/camp guy, the quirky old housemate, the angry black woman, a bunch of thick/vapid models, the posh/stuck-up one etc.

C4 castings and even BB12/13's weren't like that. Ever since BB14/15 we just get token housemates from different stereotypes and it just creates a lack of diversity. It feels like they're choosing housemates for parts in a scripted reality show as opposed to just ordinary people
