I have a feeling we are going to see "The worlds most identical twins" very soon http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3048029/Aussie-twins-spent-250K-plastic-surgery-share-boyfriend-named-World-s-Identical-Twins.html
They were featured on "This Morning" a few weeks back- and Rylan said he would love to get them on the show - now they have reappeared on "This Morning" promoting the competition - they are getting themselves known over this side of the world- I wonder would it be BB or CBB if they do appear- personally I hope they don't - they are most annoying.... obviously have rehearsed finishing each others sentences ... (yawn)
The thing is with C5 that I've noticed over the last few years is that they cast people who fit into stereotypes every series. There's always the token 'angry' black woman, the flamboyant gay, the token old/eccentric housemate, the blonde with big tits, the brash/outspoken woman, the posh one, a bunch of boring male models who aspire to be z-listers and thrive off their looks, etc. It's just boring. They should cast people who'll make good housemates not just one person based on a stereotype to tick off.
But you have described BB7!
'angry' black woman - Dawn
the flamboyant gay Shabaz
the blonde with big tits - Lea
the brash/outspoken woman - Lisa
the posh one - George
a bunch of boring male models who aspire to be z-listers and thrive off their looks, etc Mikey, Sezer,

Only missing the old/eccentric housemate.
Susie was old an eccentric, people often overlook her for being "boring" but she was anything but! She was hilariously full of herself and above the whole show

Well they cant keep that up for three months! I would be very interested to see them actually.
Seeing a lot of models and actors, (etc), on BB can be disheartening. But there are exceptions. Like BB9's Rachel or BB15's Chris. They were both actors, (admittedly, Rachel was a child actress), but both came across very well in the house.
I think perhaps it doesn't matter so much what jobs the housemates have.
The problem is that too many of them have been "ordinary" when what we need is eccentrics. (real eccentrics, not the "look at me, I'm mad, me" types)
Why do we need -- or indeed even want -- eccentrics?
There must be something fundamentally wrong with the BB format if the HMs have to be eccentrics for it to work.

No, Susie was blandly self-centred and dull. And if Susie is supposed to be "eccentric", it discredits the whole idea that there's anything desirable about having "eccentrics" in the house.

Well if were to go on the "models/actors" personality. Sophie came across well in the house. Even Deana did too. I don't think models should be banned but I think they should be models with a personality.
Hazel for example, yes, she didn't come across well, but she was (to me of course), the only "model" who actually didn't just sit there and look pretty. She got involved, had ups, had downs, had rows, had laughs and was involved in series storylines.
I'd rather that then the likes of Georgia Salpa (who is a nice girl and fit), but she was dull... same could be said for the likes of Lacey on CBB11. Dull.
I meant Rachel and Chris both had acting backgrounds, but didn't go in to try and further their careers. I feel they came across well because of that as I don't like it when people use BB as a stepping stone for their careers.

I would agree on Sophie and Deana as well, although TBH, I wasn't that big a fan on Sophie. She was a nice girl, but she wasn't one of my favourites that year.
IKR, why are they so obsessed with making so much effort for CBB yet when it comes to the regular series, they go out of their way to absolutely ruin it for the normals any way they can
Haven't they learned ANYTHING after last years disaster
OMG, I'm hoping that doesn't happen! I'll be so annoyed if they merge the celebs and non celebs together. The whole point of having civilian BB once a year was so they can put some non celebs in. I can't believe they'd think of doing such thing! Can't be arsed with the celebs lol

What's supposed to stop "real eccentrics" from being rubbish HMs?
I think they will be likely to make interesting viewing because of their unpredictability. For example, Alex in BB3, who tended to do the opposite to what we predicted, like when he turned into an unexpected Rambo on the poor side, and when he abandoned his allegiances to choose all girls to join him on the rich side. Like or loathe him, I think this made him interesting to watch.
However, I suppose eccentrics can be just as dull as anyone else, and there is nothing duller than a "would be" eccentric.
I have a pie in the sky hope that the producers will know the difference.

Personally I think Chris did hope to further his career - but I don't see why using BB as a stepping stone is a problem - why not ?
And with regards to Sophie I thought her to be vacuous.

Bb1 hms were paid a stipend !
Yes I know that and that is need and as I should be.
But some posters are speaking of substantial amounts for people to go in - and that is my issue.
ok sorry - anyway i have addressed the amount in my other post
No problem and I have seen your other post and I fully agree with you

I don't think either of them "boring male models who aspire to be z-listers and thrive off their looks, etc".
Opinions differ on how well they came across.

Seriously why, if it's going to happen of course?

As well as the party circles in Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Belfast, Bournemouth - Southampton, and Birmingham.
But does that mean there will be no summer CBB?
It's only a rumour, hopefully it will be swiftly denied very soon
Just let the normals have their moment in the spotlight and have their BB experience without being overshadowed

Channel 5: "No comment" in response to the rumoured celeb twist for civilian #bbuk
sounds like a awful idear wont be watching if this happens......
To be honest they have been doing this to a degree for years- seriously some of the "celebrities" were no more famous than I am -
