Default 100% British cast
Does anyone else miss the usual diversity? I usually enjoy the diversity of nationalities on BB, i think i might miss having some Americans or other foreigners on the show, what do you think?

I do miss the diversity, especially as we have a big Polish and Indian community it would be nice to see this reflected in BB, like BB5 and BB6/

Nor is Adjoa iirc.

Still, BBUK's housemates tend to be more diverse than any other country's from what I recall.

I don't really care, TBH.

BB15's diversity of nationality consisted of Kimberly, Pav and Jale, all three of which were either dull or pathetic.

I must say, it is nice seeing a proper obese bloke on. It's rare for a proper fatty to make it. especially a young one.

that UK vs US things sounds like a **** idea. So it's perfect for Endemol.
Can't wait for CBB16 to average 1.7m.

Agreed, was very disapointed with the lack of cultural diversity in this year's cast. Adjoa is the only one with that interesting background.

Still, Ireland being the only diversity (apart from Adjoe born in Holland) is still not that great in terms of casting

Anything is better than the BB12/BB15 cast.
Diverse or not diverse.
Recruits or not recruits.

it is UKBB why does it need to be international? If you take it to the extremes. How many of the housemates could boast completely UK lineage, I will say now ... zero
