Default The issue with the females cast on Big Brother

I've thought this for years now, but i've hadn't created a thread about it as of yet. We all know that girls get the boot more often than boys do, in Big Brother. We're also all quite quick to post comments such as "the public hates women" etc. Whilst i'm not here to deny that the public could be giving preferential gendered treatment to men, I think it's also important to consider the way the Big Brother cast team objectify women in the first place. Let's look at the BB15 cast. Ashleigh, Danielle and Kimberly are models. Biannca and Helen both worked in some form of prostitution. Zoe and Toya, whilst both having other talents are somewhat successful because they're both beautiful girls. Pauline, whilst being older now, made a living in the past by looking good as a dancer. That leaves Jale. Only one housemate who's main merit to being on the house really isn't tied down to her looks.

I believe that when Big Brother objectify women in the first place through casting, it's inevitable that this mentality is going to be passed on to viewers. If women of backgrounds other than modeling and prostitution were more prominent in the house, I sincerely believe they would've done better as a whole on Big Brother up until now.

Thoughts on this?
