Coolio and Malone are loud and full of hot air, most of the rest are just there.
After 2006 and 2007 this is really hard work, I will stick with it but I really don't think much will happen.
I know the this is the first CBB post Shilpa but I just feel i has gone a bit too safe

It's not outstanding and would be considerably better with more live feed and less meddling...but the cast is decent and pretty well balanced and that's by far the most important element.
And C4/E4 have thrown out the crown jewels of TV - ie. 1000's of viewers who would stick with the channel all day, every day for several weeks! What a waste of an opportunity when they're already filming it anyway.
All that extra advertising revenue lost because we're all floating off to other channels or activities with the lack of livefeed.
Major miscalculation dear C4!!!
As individual shows, the last three highlight shows have been better than anything BB put out in the last two years, but they did set the bar very, very low.
There is potential, there are some good housemates, there are some not so good ones.
If it does one thing, I would hope that the viewing figures hold up enough to finally persuade brighter pictures that a show based on laughter with occasional naturally occuring arguments is preferred to one based on engineered arguments alone by the audience at large.
The UK hm's are too guarded and wise to BB to get involved, Verne and LaToya are quiet and that just leave Coolio and his mad monologues to entertain most of the time.
Well, it's not struggling. If there was actually an opportunity to be found in the live feed, they would keep doing it. They need money (desperately) so if it was worth their while they would do it. But clearly, it wasn't.
It's just a television program.
None of them want to be seen as bitchy.
They are all aware of the cameras and will continue to behave as though they are watched by millions.
There is only one housemate who i dislike and that is Tina. I do have my favourite (Terry) but the others are a good to ok bunch.
It has been moving along nicely and i am positive there is much more drama to come, so there is a lot of potential in this series.
This is possibly my favourite collection of celebrities on BB to date.
Perhaps people's expectations are becoming too high? What exactly do we want the housemates to do? Are they playing it safe just because they aren't bullying anyone or having sex under the table? Because those sorts of behaviours don't impress or entertain me.
There is a subtlety and depth to some of this year's lot that I like.
Tina is loud, foul-mouthed and crude and does get on my nerves, but I can tolerate her as she can be funny at times - plus, I think someone will put her in her place before not too long as she's grating on some of the others!
I like Coolio, and think he's off his head, although I can imagine he's a right pain in the arse to live with!
Not keen on Ulrika, I must admit - so I hope she's out this week.
Not liking Michelle as I think she's insipid, whiny and just vying desperately for some AT, as Luke would say, with this whole Coolio non-story!
Not really loathing anyone in this series, so it's all good!
back to the Coolio Cafe...lol
Me too:)
I am sure if we had a feed this forum would be buzzing with all kinds of news.
What do we really know about these hms?
We dont get as involved because we dont really connect because all we see is a 45 min highlight show.
For those that say i never watched the feed anyway I would say true but you did read the forum so you were aware of the goings on and personality traits through those reporting what was going on in the house and youtube of course.
This is why the show doesnt feel quite the same.
The HMs themselves are a pretty good group.The idea of the court jester,king etc made for some really weird images although so far there have been NO demanding tasks or missions which is a little dissapointing.
Even without the live feed its better than CBB1,2 and 5.
I know as much about these housemates and have connected with them as much as I ever have before.
I rarely watched in excess of 3 hours Live Feed a day anyway so my viewing and enjoyment is relatively unaffected. I should imagine that most of the audience are of the same opinion, unless they sit in front of their tellies 24/7.
and you are not stuck with it on 11-6am i mean come on that is an awful time to broadcast if people have work early
