There's a difference between freaks and characters though, freaks are gimmicky one-sided individuals that pretty much populated BB7-10. Fun for the moment but they fizzle out. BB11's gone back to the characters a bit more.

It's the lack of freaks that's turned a lot of people off this series I think, a lack of instantly likable or hateable figures. That's what I like about this series really, the HMs seem like actual human beings and not cartoon characters and that was what was wrong with BB10, too many cartoon characters and not enough people.
