Default Did they deliver on the "diverse" side of things?
Obviously the cast nowadays is never going to be spot on, but how'd you think they did??

3 lads is the only downside when they could've had NI/Scots.

Not really.

Where are the LGBT housemates? Usually BBUK is really good about their representation but not this year.

**** tbh.

Edit: oh, read the title wrong. I think in terms of diversity it's okay, but I'm more the person who doesn't care unless they're good for the show.

It's alright.

Kayleigh, Ellie and Chanelle are practically the same person, as are Tom, Lotan and Kieran. But other than that everyone else could add something different.

Isn't it a little insulting to put someone in the house just because they're gay?

Yet again a lot of young typical Geordie shore type people

They think they can chuck in 2 over 40s and a Muslim and call it diverse
I want like BB10 diverse

A FEW not from the UK
More members of LGBT
At least one Scottish
More stronger religious/anti-Religious views


Yes some of them are great in terms of diversity but the majority of the are the same person

The Muslim/Sikh pairing was pretty much it.

5 Housemates from Yorkshire and none from Scotland/Ireland?

for anyone to ask this question tells me - they are not happy with the mix ?


great mix and I think we all need to stop analysing what has been chosen now and get on with the show.
