Or just admit they picked an angry black female, a trans, to many LGBTQ and a few different colours if skin types. Oh, and some possible opinionated disabled people for their chosen hms.

No, I'm just going to tell you that your posts are very weird and the majority of time on here you don't seem okay.

Oh, well I've been like this for over 10 years now, so dont fret on my behalf.

Thank you though. Much appreciated

…it has seemed ok to me, a few things maybe could have been more thought out …but the social media checks etc and all other checks are something quite serious to look into and improve…first offence type thing, though…the only way is up…?…from here and it’s a been all in all a great beginning to the new look BB…

Are you new to BB, it's always been very diverse over the years .

Even Jordan Stephens pointed that out on L& L , and he was completely right when he said we're going backwards now ...with people complaining about the ' diversity ' . Like seriously? .

Diversity has taken over. Its replaced interesting people, sacrificed them for box ticking. Take Kerry for example, to tick that box they had to bring in someone used to tv shows, and the process.

In the good old days, we had proper entertainers, not people with agendas to push..

Apart from craig in BB1 and what he was on it for.

Yeah because Kerry & Dylan are the only disabled people to ever enter BB ...sure ok .

Also if you want to moan about reality fame addicts, you might aswell mention Olivia ,Tom & Farida who have all been on other TV shows prior to BB. I wouldn't be surprised if Paul tried to do LI after this .

It's the fact that you see people of colour and people with a disability as just a "box to tick" that is the most revealing about your own ignorance and prejudice.

It's been manipulated from the start and seems almost scripted, especially when they set out to show Yinrun in a bad light by putting her in a cage and the fake wailing. Just to rub it in they then gave her a task to fake cry in order to win a party which sealed the deal. Not sure if she can recover from that, I still see loads of comments on social media calling her out for that very reason. If she's up for eviction before the final I would fear she would suffer the same fate as Trish, a housemate who's liked and disliked in equal numbers.

"Too many LGBTQ" can you actually hear yourself, parmnion?

No lesbians this year...just 4 homosexual men. That's not very diverse imo.

The editing and manipulating has been really obvious this year more so than others.

The shortening of the time doesn't help if it gives production more incentive to overreact. If it is longer then they don't have to manipulate as much because there is more time for personalities to come forward and drama to develop.

Imo, the manipulation is closer to CBB and in that way very familiar. CBB was always heavyhanded (also short on time) with both the editing and meddling. That's just my memory of it and what I remember feeling at the time.

It sounds like you are saying more they have been typecast. I agree with that. It's almost like they prewrote the roles they wanted to fill and chose people who would be the most stable fit for that role and will hold their own.

There has to always be diversity in casting or else it is too of a boring show. But I agree here they crafted such obvious roles for each HM they knew what exactly was expected of them upon entering the house. Whereas before it took longer to get to know an HM in the past. They had to find their niche.

Edit/An aside: On introspection I think part of the reason Jenkin may have struggled is because he saw through this. Maybe subconsciously he saw he was being typecast as the group fatty as people started arriving. Then to have Olivia reject him so publicly in front of millioms on the first night. I don't know how much encouragement or meddling they are giving towards fitting their certain character, but that could have been the tough pill. I really felt there was something more to that than Jenkin being nominated for the punishment for him to have gone in his crabshell like that. (I really felt for him in that moment.)

I think because each person fit their niche so well, not only was there as much conflict (not necessarily bad?) from different communication styles.. but everyone communicated so well based on the filters they were given, it almost made future drama much more predictable. And also reactions.

I had thought they cast really well. Now I wonder if they cast too well. And also they messed up with background screens in a serious way...

Diversity with an aim to bring together is bad, cause there is always something that let's it down..Let's all applaud Trish this time.
