[Deep2]

I watched the housemates entering the house and I was so disappointed. I always watch the show to really support a couple of characters and hope they survive the nomination process and get as far as possible. Last year, I adored Derek. He was original, intelligent and so DIFFERENT from the common gutter trash that is usually in there. I also liked Roberto and Kemal was an intelligent, insecure boy.

But this year, there is nobody endearing. Pete is the closest, but for some reason, I cannot warm to him. I don't like the sympathy card, and whatever anyone says, he is being played this card. Nadia was, in BB5 and now Pete is. He will win by a landslide, as no-one seems to actively dislike him, whereas many people disliked Nadia for her pretentious over emotional escapades.

Richard is ok and seems to comfort Lea and shows some fatherly qualities, but I am yet to see real depth to him.

Glyn is also ok, but so so unintelligent, which makes it hard for me to identify with him.

Lea I just feel sorry for. She is a deeply insecure lady. (look at her entrance into the house.) But is hardly watchable and I can't really take to her.

The rest are common and dull. Sezer is an even worse version of Anthony. He is a typical lad and I personally think he is as ugly as anything. I find his possessiveness and arrogance disgusting. Mikey is dull and also a common lad. His audition tape was a disgrace and shows young men in a bad light. As for George, he is supposed to be 'upper class'. But his behaviour is that of his years; a typical lad, who talks with the others about w@nking and how long they have gone without a shag.

The girls are little better. Grace is vile. She is a common young woman, who does modelling, likes clubbing and is possessive over men. How boring and unoriginal. Imogen is vacuous and could be a painting on the wall. She likes the same things as Grace. Lisa is just so thick it is scary and I find her personality grotesque and common. She is like a man in a (bad) woman's body.

Nikki is a self absorbed little child who goes around saying 'I'm upset'. She has the intelligence of a mosquito and is just another common girl with common aspirations.

Then the new housemates enter. Early to judge, but to put in another 'good looking' girl, who, in my opinion, is a clone of millions of blonde, brainless bimbos out there and turns me on as much as a flat glass of pepsi, is another dull decision. And to put in a cross dresser is just another boring move.

Where are the fat people? Where are the older people? Where are the intelligent people? Where are the geeks? Where are the people with glasses? Where are the introverts? Where is a person who does not like clubbing or lip gloss?

What a sad situation, if society has come to this. Every series there was someone to like. BB1: Nick, BB2: Dean, BB3: Can't remember, BB4: John, BB5: Ahmed, BB6: Derek

These characters are against the norm of housemates but not so extremely non-conformist (shabbaz) so as to not last the whole hog.

The problem with the show is that they have the two extremes in the show. The conformists nwho are the epitome of conformity and highlight every stereotype of nasty youngsters nowadays. And at the polar extreme, people who are so non-conformist, this becomes the person, rather than an aspect of her/his personality. Look at Shabbaz. Where was the person? He just became a caricature of insecurity. Mary from last year? Became a caricature of a witch. (Through no fault of her own, she was quite likeable, and the only girl where her breasts were not a focus of her personality.)

What a let down. I know everyone will vehemently disagree. But, there you go...
