Focus on characters not box ticks

But aren't you doing your own form of box ticking by saying that these groups can't go on the Show this year because they are gay or non British?

I disagree with that. Some of housemates that fit your description have been brilliant in the past.

However I think they need a better mix of people. There was too much dead weight last time with the likes of Zach, Jenkin, Paul, Matty, Noky, Chanelle and Tom. We’re always going to get a couple of deadweight housemates. I liked some of them but when half the cast is dead weight it gets a bit much.

Weirdly, at the time I didn’t like Kerry but I can remember quite a bit about her time in the house, same for Hallie.

Zach was lovely. A big ball of positive energy. Probably was his gameplan. Proper **** he was up against Henry.

Weren't there Housemates that were talking about Black Lives Matter as well?

Which being brutally honest, it doesn't make for good TV.

No thank you.

[GoldHeart]

I wish / hope they put regular civilians in who have never been on TV ,but we all know it will be reality TV & Instagram influencers .

[Nicky91]

i myself would be the biggest backstabber contestant this show has ever seen


in reality: i'd be very strategic for my alliance, i am not scared to sacrifice any weak links in my team tbh

[Nicky91]

i'd most connect with a POC and preferably a young female POC


those contestants tend to be the most devoted to the gameplay


and i like gossiping behind people's backs

Casting this show now has to be a lot trickier than it was back in the early days. Housemates know the fame, social media following and "five minutes of fame" they'll get from the show. Every season since early-mid 2010's housemates have been discussing social media when they're sitting around. Add in the political-correctness and the "we can't offend" anyone attitude that's rife these days... it just doesn't make good TV. Unfortunately (fortunately?) before all this started, that's what made the show so entertaining.

The network is now scared of the complaints Ofcom will get if they allow this behaviour, or air it.

That being said, we need housemates that are unfiltered and not on social media (there must be SOME) and also remove the Barbie Malibu Beach House/Disney throw up design style from the house and I think it could stand a chance. Also, BRING BACK THE SMOKING AREA.

ITV has started really over-doing the musical montages which makes it a cut and copy of shows like Love Island. Back to basics means back to basics - that includes casting, house design and editing.

my prediction (age group wise)


1 (19 yr old, youngest housemate of the bunch)
4 in their 20's
4 in their 30's
2 in their 40's
2 in their 50's
1 in their 60's
1 in 70's (oldest housemate of the bunch)


pretty sure they wanna make it as diverse as possible, to reel in as many age group demographics in terms of viewers


i can also see a twist coming like the youngest and oldest contestants creating teams for certain challenges

I put the Wiki stats Into a spreadsheet and the average age is 27.27 of all the contestants Ever. The oldest contestant in the United States Was 75, from what I can see, in the UK, the oldest is 56. CBB Lionel Blair was 85.

Folk who have jobs like postman, supermarket worker, etc. The influences can just go on the celeb version.
I do think they did allright last series.
Would like someone Irish, Scottish and Welsh.
Maybe something of a BB9 vibe.

[Beastie]

Someone who is outdoorsy and likes ultra marathon running.

[Beastie]

No twists on the first night. Let the housemates get to know each other then start nominations a few days after. Let just be organic!

A steam punk-themed house would also be quite the scene.
