Ch4 seem to have a quota thing going which compels them to hire foreign nobodies we dont even care about. This doesnt help the British economy because they just bugger off with the money and we don't benefit either from any career boost they may get!

That's such a pedantic way of looking at things though. There are so many thousands of bigger things going on the economy. Nobody in the UK is going to feel a noticeable difference to their money if a Brit wins the show!

Why does race even matter? Why even say 'you might as well choose a Brit'. The show airs on a British television channel but who ever said it was through and through British? It's the British version of Big Brother, yeah, but it's not through and through British in identity is it? If it was, we would be missing a lot of housemates from Big Brother's history because only Brits would be put in.

If you want to get that anal about it, the show is actually Dutch, considering it was created by a Dutchman and was first aired in the Netherlands.
