I think we would all like to go back to the days where people went onto the show without an so much of an agenda. However, what I think people forget is that the media landscape is not as it was 10 years ago in the early days of Big Brother. There are now an abundance of shows in which the most 'normal' of people can be catapulted into the limelight, whether it's just because they appeared on TOWIE or in a game show.
From looking at their bios, we have a relatively normal bunch this year, whilst there are a few people mixed in who have been on our TV screens before. It's so easy for people to try to become a 'celebrity' these days, and thanks to social media it has become easier for people to be in the 'spotlight', per se.
We are never going to get another series of Big Brother where literally everyone has no media background to a certain extent. Big Brother as a format is not what it used to be, either, and people tend to go on the show with some sort of agenda these days.
Personally, I think people should stop complaining and face up to the reality that there is always going to be a mix of some housemates who have some sort of media background.
