Default Bringing back a previous series' housmate - ruining the legend?

As much as I love some ex-housemates from previous series, I think brining them back is just wrong for them and for the fans.
Some housemates have become legendary because of their freshness, first-time experience, integration with their series' line up - using the same trick on a new series has a big chance of ruining their legend status they earned in their original series.
From my local version of BB and UBB experience, and from UBB - it's disappointing and it doesn't deliver.

I guess so but bringing back Gina and/or Nikki might save this series ratings wise

you are drastically exaggerating Gina's appeal if you think more viewers would magically appear just to watch her

I totally agree. The way I look at it is that they have had their series of BB and been evicted when their time was up (unless they won). BB shouldn't be so stuck for contestants that they have to bring one of the former ones in. Give someone else a chance. I wouldn't even like to see any of my favourite housemates go back in tomorrow night

I don't think it'll be an ex-hm, it's going to be Simon

They'd be better off putting in a celebrity housemate for a week, it would be a tiny bit less ****.

The problem with putting in ex housemates people will be expecting them to be the same.
as they were. Forgetting that they have grown older/matured, which will effect their behaviour. Best leave them to the past.
