Do you prefer casts that are smaller or bigger in BB? Small is under 16 and big is over 16.

[Raph]

Big for sure. Around 21 is the perfect amount of housemates for a season imo

16 on launch, 5 late entrants

[Oaker]

Big

[Cal.]

I think I prefer bigger casts as you don't get as sick of people due to a range of people being shown.

[Oaker]

I don't like it when casts are too big though, like BB8 etc..

[Daniel.]

Small

It isn't close, 16 is the max

[armand.kay]

Small tbh whats the point of having a bunch of filler housemates?

[Jason.]

16/17 is perfect for me. Like BB6/BB13 had.

I hated the massive casts BB7-11 had which was just composed of numerous filler housemates and newbies.

[armand.kay]

and with more housemates we hardly get to know all of them/get a good idea of house dynamics. 13-6 is a good range to stick by.

Bigger but only if late entrants aren't brought in with some awful twist like 4in4out

[Alf]

I think 14 housemates (7 male 7 female) is about the right number.

But Celebrity Big Brother should have fewer, because then they could budget for a better quality of housemate, instead of blowing money on a load of nobody's.

Bigger for Civilian but it has to e a long series

Smaller for CBB

[Babayaro.]

12-16 is perfect tbh. It all depends on the length of the series though.

Did you see Emma last night asking people to audition for next year?

What's the point?, we know they're gonna fill the house up with people who linger around on the celebrity circuit.
