there is no-one in there that is completely outrageous like there have been in previous series, so while many are not my cup of tea, they are basically harmless. My biggest worry is that a showmance develops because that kills the series instantly

Although I like the four new people, it's a shame that there are as many trans people in there as people over 30. And half the younger ones are completely interchangeable, they look alike, they know **** all about the world, they have no conversation, they're not interesting... Maybe they'd get more viewers if the all people they put in there were all actually interesting, accomplished or at the very least, not stupid.

There’s one trans and 4 over 30 (Richard, Gani, Caroline and Feyisola)

But yeah, there was no need for Elsa, Jenny and Nancy. One of them would be fine (Jenny would be my pick). Same for Cameron B, Marcus and Tate. Just one of them would have been fine.

4-1 to the oldies

Great result

Take that Trans, who now drop into the relegation places and questions must now be asked of their manager

Isn't feyisola trans? I thought she said she was... What I said wasn't really about trans, I was just using it as a yardstick to make my point. It's just that they have the same bland young people in there every year, and every year the older housemates they put in are quite freakish. Caroline is a horror bag and... oh God, I'm so bad with names, the new housemate, composer, older chap, seems lovely but is hardly the norm, is he.

Unsure what this means, but I have no issue with a trans person being in there.

I am bothered though by the lack of diversity between Jenny, Tate, Cameron B, Nancy, Elsa and Marcus. We needed just 2 from that list and we could have 4 spaces for more varied housemates.

No she isn't trans, I think she was saying that because she's a bald black female people have called her a man in the past

No, I misunderstood her convo too until somebody corrected me. She gets comments about being trans because of the way she looks.

Agree with that. Although, like I said on another thread, Jenny thought George was a man of God because he's on the parish council, so keep her for the comedy value, I say. Plus I like her accent.

Oh, really? I would never have imagined she was trans unless I'd (mis)heard it.

Oh yeah, out of those 6 I’d keep Jenny and Cameron B. The other four haven’t done much for me so far.

Same haha. I guess because she’s bald some people just assume.

People suck. Whatever's different, people will find a way to use it to insult you. Yeah, I see I was mistaken.

[Beso]

And she looks her age....when you look close

[millyrose]

[Strictly Jake]

It's always the way. Show starts to feel like Big Brother when the highlights proper start.

I hope that since Richard is the oldest housemate this series and if he does well I hope ITV consider putting more older people his age in next year

Oh I totally didn’t include you in the sweepstakes. Want me to add you?

That's interesting, I have never heard of it being a biological thing before... Where's that from?

I always assumed it was just a subconscious father fetish thing.

Yeah, she was trying to put herself on the post surgery trans person because some guys (allegedly) took the mick out of her for looking like a dude once.

She's seems to be one of those people that always have a story they have to tell you over just listening to yours.
