'In The Midnight Garden' if you want non-offensive characters on your TV screen.

Those same type of idiots who made Rachel last years BB winner are the same type who will eventually get rid of the interesting characters like Marcus, Freddie and Bea.

Every one of us are, at times, arrogant, full of self-importance, two faced, bitchy, nasty etc - it's part of being human. These three housemates have provided more than their fair-share of entertainment in the house but are constantly berated for occasionally displaying these human traits. You can not honestly say that these 3 have a malicious bone in their bodies.

It's the hm's who are constantly bitchy, nasty, two-faced, malicious while providing no entertainment ie Lisa, David and maybe Charlie or just plain dull and boring ie Dogface and Hira, who should be evicted.

I happen to like marcus, freddie and bea and I hated rachel winning last year, but as for sophie being dull ..not!

Completely agree.

It's people like this who won't be happy until Big Brother is over for good. Rachel winning was the first step, and if Hira won it'd be the final nail in the coffin.

What their fans need to realise is that, yes, they're lovely people. But getting rid of big characters such as Marcus will have a bad effect on the show.

Entertaining housemates = better ratings.

If it was Rachel and Hira living in a house for 3 months drinking tea no one would watch, and that's a fact. Something which they should realise.

Sadly, they won't, and Big Brother will be over.

Well said, Jack. You articulated what I couldn't in my sleep-deprived state.
